The son of a famous Pingtung food stall known for its 'Heibaiqie' (traditional side dishes), surnamed Xu, was recently kidnapped and tortured for two hours, resulting in fractures to his four limbs and severe tendon damage. The primary suspect, surnamed Chen, turned himself in yesterday and was detained today. Police have since arrested three more individuals to clarify their involvement as accomplices.
On the 19th, Xu was ambushed while riding his motorcycle. Chen and his accomplices used two cars to block and ram him before forcing him into a vehicle. Around 6 PM that day, Chen dumped Xu at the emergency room of Baojian Hospital. Xu was covered in blood and had severe injuries to his extremities.
Investigation revealed that the feud started after Xu's subordinate was accused of being a 'money mule' for a fraud syndicate. Xu had previously led a group of people to confront Chen and injured Chen's friend. After being released on bail for that incident, Xu reportedly posted provocative messages on social media, further fueling Chen's anger.
Hospital reports indicate Xu has multiple stab wounds and blunt force injuries, with fractures and tendon damage across his limbs. His condition is currently stable and not life-threatening.
