Peng’s escape created a nightmare of public relations for Chiang’s government. They denied that he was gone and had egg on their faces when they learned that the rest of the world knew it before they did. They compounded the problem when they changed their story; the date they said he had escaped was three weeks after the actual event.

When we met Wei T’ing-chao to give him funds for the families that had come in, he filled us in on what was happening behind the scenes.

“They didn’t believe Peng was gone because the security team assigned to follow him had been submitting expense vouchers for following him all around the island during the weeks when he was in fact already gone.”

“I guess Ching-kuo and his daddy weren’t amused by their security team, were they?” I said, almost giggling.

“When they learned that the team filed false expense vouchers for these three weeks, it didn’t take long—using their usual methods—for the guards to confess that there were weeks and months when they hadn’t seen Dr. Peng but continued filling out false reports about following him. None of this, of course, has been reported publicly. It would be too embarrassing for the government.”

“Do you know what’s happened to those in charge?”

“Many senior officers in the Investigative Bureau lost their jobs. The department chief who had so viciously threatened Dr. Peng became the scapegoat and is already in prison.”

“What about the guards who filed the false reports?”

“They are missing,” Wei said.
