I think the original poster maybe has something to hide.

I politely emailed him saying I know something about shaoxing, showed sympathy for him being lied to. Having lived there before, I can attest it's not a bad place at all, but I never got a reply from the OP. If he doesn't want to reply, fine, but we all know there can be two sides to a story. I'm wondering if perhaps he was placing excessive demands on the indian guy beyond that of an FT, i.e. expecting paid flight ticket out to Shaoxing, being fussy about apartment/living conditions, and generally being difficult to deal with. Maybe the guy hired someone locally, who knows? I'm not saying the op is lying, but it all seems a bit suss, especially when he won't elaborate further or tell more about this.

Cheers and coffees,
