A suspicious husband in China used a drone to discover that his wife was having an illicit affair with her boss.
The 33-year-old man, who lives in Shiyan in central Hubei province, grew suspicious as his wife became “cold” towards him and began deliberately ignoring him last year.
The unusual events in his wife’s life, such as shifts in her workplace and frequent visits to her parents' hometown heightened the man’s concerns.
Distressed with suspicion, the man employed a drone to track his wife’s movements.
The surveillance footage revealed that the wife got into a car which took her to a remote mountain. Then, she was seen walking hand in hand with a man and disappearing into a dilapidated mud hut.
About 20 minutes later, they walked out of the hut and drove to the factory where she works.
The man intends to use the evidence he gathered from the drone in divorce proceedings, revealing his wife’s affair with her boss, who is also married.
The revelation has sparked widespread discussion on social media about the role of technology in uncovering infidelity.
One person on Weibo said: “It was a good idea to buy a drone. Without this tool, Jing would have never known he was being betrayed. That’s the magical function of technology.”
Another user said: “In this era of hi-tech, any lie will be debunked. So couples should stick to the principle of loyalty.”
