Nina Wang and I were a perfect match, says jailed Peter Chan
We were the perfect match, says jailed conman, rejecting claims he tried to use supernatural powers to get late tycoon to fall under his spell
It was compatibility - not black magic or a spell - that kept tycoon Nina Wang Kung Yu-sum in love with him, Peter Chan Chun-chuen, the self-styled fung shui master, has claimed from jail.
In fact, they were such a perfect match that they never once squabbled, and even talked about Chan getting a divorce and marrying Wang, he said.
"I never used any black magic on Ah Kung [to make her fall in love with me]," he said, using a fond reference to Wang that appeared throughout his answers.
He said it had been painful to detail their relationship in court during his drawn-out fight with the Chinachem Charitable Foundation, which Wang had set up, to claim her HK$83 billion estate as the sole beneficiary.
The drawn-out saga continued during a trial last month that saw him jailed for 12 years for forgery and using a false instrument. During the trial, the court was shown a video supplied by Chan in which the pair kissed and embraced as evidence of their intimate relationship.
"I believe our private life belonged exclusively to the two of us, even though she had expected it would come to light one day after her death," Chan told his friend, who wished to remain anonymous. It pained me immensely to make our relationship public. I felt very sad and struggled fiercely in my heart [to reveal it].
