==== Cover-up ====
During the [[Campaign to Suppress Counterrevolutionaries]], Zhao Yaoshan, the [[Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics|Zhongtong]] agent who interrogated Jiang during her arrest in the 1930s, was executed.<ref name=":5" /> In January 1953, {{Ill|Yang Fan (politician)|lt=Yang Fan|zh|揚帆 (政治人物)}}, who had secretly written to Yan'an about Jiang's experiences in Shanghai, was imprisoned. [[Pan Hannian]], the Communist intelligence chief who defended Yang, was also jailed.<ref name=":5" />

In December, Mao Zedong travelled to [[Hangzhou]] with Jiang Qing. After his departure on 14 March, Jiang received an anonymous letter from Shanghai later that month. Initially disturbed and then angered, she sought out Zhejiang party chief [[Tan Qilong]], asserting her revolutionary commitment and requesting an investigation. Despite extensive police efforts, the sender's identity remained unknown.<ref name=":5" />

In 1958, while Mao attended a meeting in [[Nanning]], he met [[Huang Jing|Yu Qiwei]],'''{{Notetag|He was known as [[Huang Jing]] at the time and had married the journalist Fan Jin in Yan'an.{{Sfn|Terrill|1999|p=208|pp=}} Yu Qiwei and Jiang Qing had lived together but they did not have any [[Marriage certificate|certificate]] or [[wedding ceremony]].{{Sfn|Terrill|1999|p=34|pp=}} Their relationship could be deemed as a "modern marriage",{{Sfn|Terrill|1999|p=34|pp=}} or a form of [[cohabitation]] as per Chinese-language literature.<ref name=":6"/>}}''' who had a [[romantic relationship]] with Jiang. After being criticised by Mao, Yu suffered severe mental and physical distress. Upon arriving at [[Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport (former)|Guangzhou Airport]], he [[kowtow]]ed before [[Li Fuchun]], pleading to be "spared." Li then escorted him to a military hospital. There, Yu attempted suicide by jumping out of a window, resulting in a broken leg. Yu died a few months later, and Mao sent a [[wreath]] in his name alone as a gesture of condolence.{{Sfn|Terrill|1999|p=208|pp=}}

In 1961, Zhu Ming, the widow of [[Lin Boqu]], wrote to the Party Central Committee regarding her late husband. Her handwriting matched that of the anonymous letter. When confronted, Zhu admitted to writing the letter and subsequently committed suicide.<ref name=":5" />
