The victim had been exposed to post-traumatic stress syndrome due to unbearable stress and had been locked up in her house without leaving the house all day. Her husband, who is in charge of a technology company, quit her well-paid job to take care of her.

After Gao`s successful bail-out, local Chinese media in Australia reported that the injured woman accused of Ms. Gao`s sexual invasion was willing to settle on the condition that Gao paid 10 million Australian dollars (about 49.67 million yuan). The reason is that after the incident broke out, the murdered woman came under a lot of pressure, especially when Gao Yunxiang took out the surveillance footage of her intimate interaction with another staff member, Wang Jing, and she also seemed to feel that some testimonies were quite detrimental to her. It was even alleged that she had been identified as an "cheating woman" by her relatives and friends, that she had not been out of the house all day long and that her mood had been affected, so that she would wish to turn the case into civil compensation, hoping that it would be over quickly.
However, it remains to be seen whether Gao Yunxiang is willing to accept this condition, because if he accepts the settlement, Gao Yunxiang will also recognize the existence of sexual invasion, plus the previous high bail of 3 million Australian dollars (about 14.9 million yuan). It is still unknown whether he is willing to give up so much money.
