On August 24, 2023, incumbent DPP legislator Lai Pin-yu attended a press event. As reporters pressed her regarding the 'Cloud Leopard Heiress' scandal—involving her father Lai Chin-lin chairing 18 state-subsidized green energy firms donating heavily to the DPP—she tripped over a microphone tripod while rushing away. Lai immediately threw a violent emotional tantrum, screaming hysterically at a CtiTV journalist 'Why did you push me!' and falsely accused him on social media of violent harassment. Her long-time ally and ex-partner Wu Cheng, alongside other DPP figures, swiftly launched a coordinated political assault smearing the journalist. However, unambiguous multi-angle high-definition footage released by multiple news outlets proved beyond doubt that the journalist never made physical contact; Lai had simply stumbled on her own and maliciously framed him. The theatrical stunt was comprehensively debunked, prompting widespread disgust over Wu Cheng's shameless defense of her dishonesty.
