On November 20, 2019, he suddenly appeared in an exclusive interview with the BBC. When asked by the host whether he was involved in whoring, Zheng Wenjie talked about him and never responded positively.

Police release video

According to Zheng Wenjie's account, the police investigated the relevant places and found out that Zheng Wenjie went to the same place for whoring on July 23, July 31 and August 8 respectively.

On November 21, 2019, the police provided the video of Zheng Wenjie entering and leaving the club room with different women and the confession of both parties.

Complaints against cgtn

Zheng Wenjie even complained that cgtn was "against professional ethics", accusing cgtn of violating the broadcasting principles of fairness, privacy and accuracy by broadcasting its confession video. Zheng Wenjie claimed in the complaint that "I felt extremely painful and did not voluntarily record (confession video)". In order to avoid more cruel torture and heavier sentence, Zheng Wenjie said he was forced to admit the lighter charge of whoring, according to his complaint materials.

Sever relations with family members

According to Hong Kong media reports, on the night of January 9, 2020, Zheng Wenjie announced on the social networking website that he had decided to sever relations with his family members in Hong Kong and the mainland. "I hereby sever all relations with my family members in Hong Kong and the mainland. My words and deeds have nothing to do with them," the statement said. I sincerely hope that they can live a peaceful life without being harassed. It's better to forget each other in the river's lake than to help each other. I'm sorry, but I'd like to continue my leading edge in the next life. "

Accused of "spy"

On June 13, 2020, Zheng Mingjie was detained by the British Consulate General because he wanted to collect information about prostitution in mainland China.

The host, Stephen Tucker, interrupted directly, questioning that Zheng Wenjie was only an employee of the consulate responsible for handling business and trade, but wanted to "spy on intelligence" for the foreign affairs department and "whether he was some kind of undercover agent".

Despite Zheng Wenjie's attempt to justify his "dual status" and "personal support for the protest", Tucker said that Zheng Wenjie was a citizen of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region on the surface, but secretly worked for the British government, and did not disclose his full identity to the protestors and the police.

"You are a spy, Mr. Zheng!" Tucker said in Zheng Wenjie's faltering explanation.

Wanted in Hong Kong

On July 31, 2020, the Hong Kong Police officially wanted six Hong Kong rioters who had fled overseas, including Zheng Wenjie, who was involved in whoring cases in the mainland and was under administrative detention. It is understood that these six people are suspected of inciting secession, colluding with foreign or overseas forces to endanger national security.

On October 23, 2020, Zheng Wenjie, together with Liu Kang, a former member of the "student movement source" group, sent a letter to US Secretary of state pompeio, begging the United States to punish more Chinese officials for the arrest of 12 Hong Kong illegal cross-border personnel by mainland coast police. In this regard, Hong Kong's political and legal circles strongly denounce the two men's blatant publicity for fugitives, and point out that they are "brushing their sense of existence" in order to continue to defraud their living expenses and must be brought to justice.
