Hui was taken away by police earlier this month and is being monitored at a designated location, the report added, citing sources.
It was not clear why Hui was placed under residential surveillance, Bloomberg News said, adding the move was a type of police action that falls short of formal detention or arrest and does not mean Hui will be charged with a crime.
Reuters could not immediately verify the Bloomberg report. Evergrande did not respond to a Reuters request for comment.

Evergrande is the world’s most indebted property developer and is at the centre of a crisis in China’s property sector, which has seen a string of debt defaults since late 2021 that has dragged on the growth of the world’s second-largest economy.
