Another will left Wang's fortune to a charity she and her late husband founded. A Hong Kong court on Tuesday sided with the charity, ruling that Chan's will was a forgery.</p><p>Chan was freed early Friday after posting a 5 million Hong Kong dollar ($640,000) bail and is required to report back in March, Hong Kong police said in a statement. Police spokeswoman Anne Lam said he has not been charged.</p><p>"There is still a lot of investigation work to be done," Deputy Commissioner of Police Peter Yam told reporters Thursday, declining to give further details on the case.</p><p>The will dispute fascinated Hong Kongers with its juicy revelations of Chan's affair with Wang, a developer who was nicknamed "Little Sweetie" for her girlish outfits and pigtail hairdo. Chan said during the trial he and Wang were in love, sharing a passion for cooking, travel, model helicopters and feng shui — the Chinese art of arranging objects and choosing dates to improve luck.</p><p>The judge in the will dispute described the 50-year-old former bartender as an opportunist who knew how to ingratiate himself with others. Chan says he is innocent and will appeal the ruling.</p><img src="http://admatch-syndication.mochila.com/images/ad.gif?aid=68482674&bid=informcom" /></div><div id="copyright"><div>
