artist Zhou Yumin ( Zaizai ) and Yu Hongyuan bought a 6-year high-value savings insurance. However, the female insurance broker in charge of Feng took advantage of Yu Hongyuan's trust and successively collected cash directly from Yu Hongyuan on the grounds that huge transfers would be checked for taxes, may be mistaken for money laundering, and prepayment discounts. Until 2021, a total of more than 34.47 million yuan was defrauded. In response, the brokerage company of Zhou Yumin responded in a low-key manner: "Everything is left to lawyers and full judicial power to handle. Thank you for your concern."

Yu Hongyuan bought savings insurance from his girlfriend surnamed Feng in 2018, with an insurance premium of more than 6.84 million yuan per period. It was originally planned to use the account to automatically deduct the payment, but before Feng’s second period of insurance premiums were paid in 2019, Feng told Yu Hongyuan that the huge transfer payment may cause tax checks, and may be mistakenly accused by the Financial Management Association of the People’s Republic of China to launder money, and persuaded Yu Hongyuan to pay in cash instead.
Yu Hongyuan therefore handed the premium to Feng Nu at the bank entrance in two times between May and June 2019; in April 2020, Feng Nu first took the third cash premium from Yu Hongyuan on the grounds that the insurance company had notified him to pay the premium in advance. In August, Feng Nu pretended to pay the premium in advance and received a huge amount of money from the 5th and 6th periods, and could receive a discount of 3.47 million yuan after the period. In 2021, Yu Hongyuan received a notice from the insurance company to pay, and Ms. Feng continued to cheat that there was something wrong with the company's accounting system, and then collected the fourth installment of the premium. However, Yu Hongyuan still received a notice of receipt. After careful investigation, he found that he owed five years of premiums. After being investigated by the prosecutor, he prosecuted Feng for five fraud charges.
