A Singaporean woman, 39-year-old Sun Beibei, is accused of embezzling S$1.7 million from the late businessman, 73-year-old Zhou Yansong, according to a lawsuit filed by Zhou's daughter, Zhou Wenfeng. The alleged embezzlement took place after Zhou was diagnosed with stage four colon cancer in December 2022. Sun claimed that she and Zhou had been lovers for 10 years and that the money was a gift from him.

However, Zhou's daughter alleges that Sun breached her fiduciary duty by withdrawing the money without authorization. The case is currently ongoing, with Sun denying the allegations and claiming that the relationship was an open secret, with Zhou providing the money for her to live comfortably after his death.
