Kao was weak but conscious when she arrived at the hospital. She was released by the hospital at 7am after treatment and left with her mother.

"It would not surprise me if she is upset about what her co-workers said in court," said Lee.
"But I'll talk to her and try to find out what was going on when she calms down. I'll make sure that things like this never happen again."
On the last day of the three-day pre-trial hearing for the sex-VCD scandal on Friday, Kao's former co-workers at a dental clinic in Taipei City's Shihlin District -- Lai Shu-chen (賴淑珍) and Lin Shih-yun (林詩韻) -- testified against Kao and told the judges that Lee threatened them and asked them to say something good about Kao in court.
According to Lai and Lin, Kao invited them out to dinner on May 4 after they received their summons but had not told them that Lee would be there as well.
The two witnesses told judges that Lee asked them to "say something good about Kao" and told them that he had a "good relationship with the local mafia" during their dinner conversations.
Kao was very upset when she heard Lai's and Lin's testimony.
She called her two former co-workers "bitches" when the court was still in session.
The two witnesses are now under the police's protection and prosecutors have begun to investigate Lee over this matter.
Lee is defending Kuo, formerly Chu's spiritual teacher, and Kao against charges they secretly filmed Chu having sex with her married lover.

Heat advisories were in effect for nine administrative regions yesterday afternoon as warm southwesterly winds pushed temperatures above 38°C in parts of southern Taiwan, the Central Weather Administration (CWA) said. As of 3:30pm yesterday, Tainan’s Yujing District (玉井) had recorded the day’s highest temperature of 39.7°C, though the measurement will not be included in Taiwan’s official heat records since Yujing is an automatic rather than manually operated weather station, the CWA said.
