Her name is Liu Qian (刘倩), the lover Yao Chuanrui (姚船锐) who was a senior manager at the state-owned China Construction Corporation. He had been arrested on suspicion of economic crimes last year. At the beginning of this year, Li Qian collaborated with her lover’s nephew and 19 other persons to plan a jail break.
