Lu, a 33-year-old father from Shandong, eastern China, decided to follow his wife about in March 2021 after seeing that she was taking an abnormally lengthy time getting ready to accompany their daughter to her private instructor.
According to reports, Lu began to suspect his wife of cheating when she entered a nearby hotel, and his suspicions were validated when he barged into her room and saw her wearing scant underwear next to a nude male.
After kicking his wife and beating the other guy identified as Liu, in a fit of wrath, Lu finally agreed to Liu's offer of 25,000 yuan ($3,300) in three internet payments as compensation for having an affair with his wife.
However, Lu was taken aback when he saw that Liu had filed a complaint against him accusing him of extortion.
