NATIONAL NEWS: In a stunning revelation, Su Chan, the CEO of Tiger Technologies (虎技术), a smartphone developer and manufacturer, and co-owner of Gold Sun Entertainment, a video game development studio was found dead at his home, the victim of a vicious stabbing attack. From reports publicized by the police, the 49-year old man was preparing for bed when vandals broke into his home and brutally murdered him in his bathroom, having cornered him. Su's lifeless body was found slumped backwards, having collapsed in his bathtub, with the tub "thoroughly stained with blood, along with the linoleum floor", Sergeant Wu Guangping told reporters. This murder comes days after the announcement of Fang Wei, Chairman of the Fang Corporation, proclaiming "fervent" interest in the tech industry. A noted rival of Mr. Fang, Su had allegedly been exploring the oil industry prior to Fang Wei's acquisition of Indralan National Petroleum in 4369. Su then moved to the tech industry after feeling snubbed by Mr. Fang. Sergeant Wu also stated to reporters that the style of the killing was in line with local methods of murder used by Triad syndicates in Tian'an. "We're unsure if it was the work of a Triad, but the evidence seems extremely likely. With as ruthless as Indrala's corporate scene is, I wouldn't be surprised if this would be the work of someone wanting to get rid of business rivals." When asked about the murder, Fang Wei gave a large prepared statement to reporters outside the lobby of his corporation's headquarters. A small excerpt has been included below.

While I am shocked that an old rival of mine has been murdered, let the record be clear that such slanderous rumors that I would go to such lengths to "eliminate" Mr. Su are completely unfounded. This is not the work of my company. The rivalry Mr. Su and I had was something along the lines of two sports fans. A sort of friendly competition. I had known the man since my conscripted service in the army. Sure, we had our disagreements in the business field and sometimes we grew apart due to such things, but him and I always managed to remain in contact with one another and regularly contributed in our entrepreneurial pursuits. I even gave him co-ownership of one of my father's laundromats, prior to my move to the oil industry. The short answer is, all of this badgering by reporters is completely farcical. Now if you will excuse me, I have more important matters to attend to.
