A suspicious husband in China who used a drone to discover that his wife was having a secret affair has trended on mainland social media.
The 33-year-old, surnamed Jing, embarked on the hi-tech surveillance mission after his wife became “cold” towards him last year.
Sometimes she intentionally ignored him, said Jing, who lives in Shiyan in central Hubei province, the news outlet Net Ease reported.
A number of unusual events in his wife’s life, such as changes in her position at work and the number of times she said she was going to visit her parents, heightened Jing’s concerns.
Tormented with suspicion, Jing decided to employ a drone to track his wife’s movements.

The surveillance footage revealed that the wife, surnamed Wu, got into a car which took her to a remote mountain.
There, she was seen walking hand in hand with another man and disappearing into a dilapidated mud house.
About 20 minutes later, they walked out of the building and drove to the factory where Wu works.
Jing says the evidence he gathered from the drone will be used to secure a divorce.
“Her other man is her boss. The wife of the boss also works in the same factory so it is inconvenient for them to have an affair there, so my wife was forced to meet him in the wild,” Jing was quoted as saying.
The disloyal wife’s lies being exposed by a drone have sparked much interest on mainland social media.

“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,” one person quipped on Weibo.
Another online observer said: “In this era of hi-tech, any lie will be debunked. So couples should stick to the principle of loyalty.”
Unusual cases involving the use of drones generate a lot of interest online in China.
In April 2022 when Shanghai was put under a strict Covid-19 lockdown, a man sent drone deliveries with daily essentials like fish and vegetables to his neighbour who lived in a high-rise building.
