00:002 a.m.
00:01My wife just walked through the door, and right then, I get a text from an unknown number.
00:05The photo?
00:05My wife, bottle in hand, hips swaying, living it up like she owns the VIP room,
00:09with some guy glued to her side.
00:11I just sat there, cool as ever, legs crossed, and said,
00:13I just got a text, there's a photo of you at a bar, you wanna explain that?
00:16She took a deep breath and went,
00:17I don't know anything about a text, probably just a co-worker messing around.
00:20What do I even need to explain?
00:22I just went out with some co-workers.
00:23She wasn't lying, she was actually pretty upfront about it, not even a hint of shame.
00:27You've got time to hit up a bar, but no time to take our kid to the amusement park?
00:30No time to show up to her preschool parent night?
00:31Do you have any idea how disappointed Cheongkyan was?
00:33You even deserve to call yourself a mother?
00:35My wife looked guilty and said, I'm sorry babe, I forgot.
00:38She gave me this pitiful look, bent forward like a kitten trying to butter me up.
00:41Her dress was nearly soaked from the rain.
00:43She'd been covering herself with her purse when she walked in, but now it was all on full display.
00:47Even knowing she was my original self's wife, I couldn't help but think,
00:50damn, her words dripped with sweetness, but too bad I'm not the same guy anymore.
00:54Then she switched to this soft tone she hadn't used in forever.
00:57Babe, I'm sorry, it won't happen again.
00:59You know I don't even like places like that.
01:01I cut straight to it.
01:03Did something happen between you and Liu Xingqian today?
01:05Ice cold, like I was just narrating a story.
01:08Liu Xingqian, a name my wife Liu Li brought up constantly,
01:11graduated from the Royal College of Art in the UK, an artist, and her brand new direct supervisor.
01:15Before I crossed over, I was a professional fixer.
01:18I'd already dug up everything there was to know.
01:20She'd never seen me act like this before and she got rattled fast.
01:22Liu Li gathered herself and said,
01:24Yeah, I did go with Manager Liu, but it was a department outing.
01:27Nothing happened between us.
01:28Nothing.
01:28I studied her face carefully, every micro-expression.
01:31I could tell she was hiding something.
01:32She was definitely holding back.
01:34You know I can't stand that guy.
01:36And you never go to bars.
01:37Your old department head invited you what?
01:39A dozen times.
01:39And you always said no.
01:41So what changed today?
01:41You two already slept together, didn't you?
01:43I circled right back to it.
01:45Liu Li's face flushed red.
01:46She bit out every word.
01:47You think I cheated?
01:48Let me be real clear.
01:49I didn't.
01:50She was loud.
01:51Sounded confident.
01:52And the micro-expressions?
01:53They checked out.
01:54She was telling the truth.
01:55That actually threw me off a bit.
01:57I frowned slightly and said,
01:58Alright, I believe you.
01:59I made you some milk and bread.
02:00Eat up and get some sleep.
02:01The moment I said that, Liu Li just froze.
02:04She probably never expected to get off this easy.
02:06Still half-dazed, she walked to the kitchen.
02:08What she didn't know was,
02:09I'd already slipped sleeping pills into her milk.
02:11Enough to knock someone out for a full day.
02:13Because I needed that time to handle some things.
02:15She came out with the milk,
02:16looked like she had something to say,
02:17then checked her phone and swallowed it.
02:19Half an hour later, I went to the bedroom.
02:21The pills had done their job.
02:22She was out cold.
02:23I pushed her for a while and got nothing.
02:24I unlocked her phone with her fingerprint.
02:26Right there on the lock screen.
02:27A photo of her and Liu Xingqian, together.
02:29As a wallpaper.
02:30She was smiling in it.
02:31Soft, warm, full of tenderness.
02:34A smile I hadn't seen in a long, long time.
02:36One look, and you knew.
02:37These two were way past just colleagues.
02:39I opened her gallery.
02:41Nothing but design drafts.
02:42Every photo of me and our daughter.
02:43Gone.
02:44Deleted.
02:45Not a trace.
02:45I opened WeChat.
02:46One contact pinned to the top.
02:48Art star.
02:49Liu Li.
02:49And you said you didn't cheat.
02:51My wife came from a prestigious family.
02:53The Liu's were a major clan in Jiangnan,
02:55known for being strict and old-fashioned.
02:57A woman from that background doesn't cheat for money.
02:58So if it's not money,
03:00it had to be love.
03:02Right then,
03:02I felt more and more sorry for the original guy.
03:04Liu Li was the one who added Liu Xingqian first.
03:06At the start, she was just asking art questions.
03:08But over time,
03:09they moved to hobbies,
03:10personal feelings,
03:10and then the really private stuff.
03:12She vented to him,
03:13complained about her life,
03:14about her useless husband.
03:15Every message dripped with bitterness
03:16and resentment toward her own daughter.
03:19Liu Xingqian played it just right,
03:20and suddenly,
03:21Liu Li had someone to pour everything into.
03:23I noticed most of the messages were still on the phone,
03:25but the really important stuff?
03:26Completely wiped.
03:27I copied everything to my laptop,
03:29then cranked the AC down to 64 to get.
03:31Took one last cold look at Liu Li lying there,
03:33and walked out.
03:347 a.m.
03:36My daughter Qianqian was up right on time.
03:38I followed the original guy's memories,
03:39helped her wash up,
03:40made breakfast.
03:41Then a thought hit me.
03:43Qianqian, I said,
03:44when you're home with mom,
03:45is there a guy who comes over sometimes?
03:47The reason I was suspicious,
03:48in the original guy's memory,
03:50his daughter had once mentioned an uncle
03:51who liked buying her candy,
03:52but the idiot never thought twice about it.
03:54She put her toothbrush down,
03:55looked up and said,
03:56yeah,
03:56there is an uncle who came over.
03:58I pulled up a photo of Liu Xingqian
03:59and showed it to her.
04:00Is this him?
04:01She looked at it and nodded right away.
04:03Yep, that's him.
04:04He even gave mom a pretty dress.
04:06I smiled to myself.
04:07Don't worry,
04:08I'll make him pay for that.
04:09I recorded everything on video
04:11and saved it to my laptop and phone.
04:12Then I had someone look into my wife's recent hotel check-ins
04:15and get any surveillance footage they could find.
04:17After dropping my daughter off at school,
04:19I went straight to a pharmacy
04:20and mixed up my special formula.
04:21I'm a fixer.
04:22Working with poisons is kind of my thing.
04:24Then I headed to my wife's office.
04:25I walked up to this guy,
04:26early 20s,
04:27decent looking,
04:28and said with a grin,
04:29Manager Liu,
04:30I'm here to put in a leave request for my wife.
04:32This was Liu Xingqian.
04:34He clearly wasn't expecting to see me.
04:35He knew who I was.
04:36Panic flashed across his face for just a second.
04:38Of course,
04:39no problem.
04:40Thanks, man.
04:41I clapped him on the back,
04:42looked totally friendly.
04:43But between my fingers,
04:44a silver needle.
04:46It slipped right through his shirt and into his skin.
04:48The needle was coated with my custom formula.
04:50Not deadly,
04:51just enough to cause some issues.
04:53They say revenge is a dish best served cold.
04:55I'm gonna make this pair suffer something far worse than death.
04:58Slowly.
04:58Every bit of the original guy's rage will be paid back in full.
05:01I used caring for my sick wife as the excuse and took three days off.
05:04When I got back at noon,
05:06Liu Li was still knocked out.
05:07The AC had turned the bedroom into a freezer.
05:09The sleeping pill still hadn't worn off.
05:11I turned off the AC and fed her some herbal medicine.
05:13The herbs mimic a severe cold and numb the nerves.
05:16Combined with the cold room,
05:17I was confident she wouldn't be getting out of bed for three days.
05:19I needed time.
05:20A divorce needs solid evidence.
05:22In the original guy's parents' eyes,
05:24Liu Li was the perfect daughter-in-law.
05:25No complaints.
05:27High education,
05:28great looks.
05:28In their eyes,
05:29she was practically royalty marrying down.
05:31And sure,
05:32everything she'd done for the family over the years was undeniable.
05:34Art school background,
05:35but none of the bad habits.
05:36Dressed modestly,
05:37barely wore makeup.
05:39Too bad,
05:39a cheating woman can change overnight.
05:41Love,
05:41they say,
05:42really does lower your IQ.
05:43Time kept ticking.
05:45I sat in the study going through everything,
05:47uploading photos and videos to the cloud.
05:49Then I heard Liu Li coughing hard from the bedroom.
05:51That afternoon,
05:52Liu Li woke up.
05:53I switched it up instantly,
05:55walked in looking panicked,
05:56just like the original guy would.
05:58Babe,
05:58what happened?
05:59Are you sick?
06:00Let me grab you some medicine.
06:01Just rest.
06:02I turned to go find it.
06:03The second I cleared the door,
06:04stone cold.
06:05Earlier,
06:06I'd bought a hidden camera at the electronics market
06:07and paid someone to plant a virus on Liu Li's phone.
06:10Every move she makes,
06:10I see it.
06:11The very first thing she did after waking up,
06:13texted Liu Xingqian.
06:14No surprise there.
06:15Liu Li,
06:16Xingqian,
06:16you there?
06:16I'm sick.
06:17I might have to call in.
06:18Can you handle tomorrow's report for me?
06:20Liu Xingqian,
06:20Babe,
06:21I'm here.
06:21You okay?
06:21Your husband already put in the leave for you.
06:23Don't worry.
06:23I'll handle it.
06:23Love you.
06:24Liu Li,
06:25I'll stop it.
06:25Don't say stuff like that.
06:26Delete this.
06:26All of it synced to my phone in real time.
06:29After auto-saving,
06:29the notifications on her phone were gone.
06:31The messages made it crystal clear.
06:33Liu Li and Liu Xingqian were way more than co-workers.
06:36Sure,
06:36she told him not to call her that.
06:37But come on,
06:38anyone could see the flirting.
06:39Liu Li didn't exactly hate it.
06:41Liu Xingqian seemed to enjoy every second of it.
06:43I walked into the bedroom with the cold medicine and a cup of hot water.
06:46She must have heard my footsteps.
06:47She slid her phone under the pillow.
06:49Classic guilty behavior.
06:50For four whole months,
06:51this happened over and over,
06:52and the original fool never caught on once.
06:55Liu Li looked genuinely touched and said,
06:56Thank you, babe.
06:57But when I leaned in to help her drink,
06:58she flinched,
06:59just for a split second,
07:00before catching herself.
07:01Her body was rejecting me.
07:03She knew it too.
07:04Don't ever trust a woman who's cheating.
07:05For love,
07:06they'll throw everything away.
07:07Even their own kid becomes just another obstacle standing in the way.
07:10Liu Li drifted back to sleep after the medicine.
07:12With the herbs I'd mixed in,
07:13she'd only show cold symptoms and stay knocked out most of the time.
07:16I was thinking about asking my seventh sister-in-law,
07:18Liu Yan,
07:19to watch over her.
07:20No kids,
07:20husband runs an insurance company.
07:22She'd been living the comfortable life at home for years.
07:24Since Liu Li would be bedridden for at least two or three more days,
07:26I couldn't stick around.
07:28Next morning,
07:28I barely stepped out the door when my phone rang.
07:30My mother-in-law.
07:31I took a breath and steadied myself before answering.
07:34I picked up,
07:34Hey, what's going on?
07:36Mother-in-law.
07:37Chen Mo,
07:37I'm almost at your place.
07:38Liu Li's sick, right?
07:39I'll take care of her today.
07:40Go to work.
07:40Don't worry about a thing.
07:42I thought fast and said quietly,
07:43Mom,
07:44my phone got water damaged yesterday.
07:46Had to do a full reset.
07:47Lost all my photos.
07:49Chen Qian's teacher just reached out.
07:51She's almost done with preschool and they want a class family photo.
07:53Could you ask Liu Li to send me one?
07:56Of course I knew there were no family photos on her phone.
07:58Not a single picture of me or our daughter.
08:00I had two reasons for saying it.
08:01Test my mother-in-law's reaction to her daughter's behavior
08:03and see whether my wife felt any guilt about her own family.
08:06Mother-in-law.
08:07Aya,
08:08can't you two just call each other?
08:09Did you have a fight?
08:10Tell me what's going on.
08:10I'll sort it out.
08:12I let out a long, tired sigh and said softly,
08:14She's probably just really busy.
08:16Chen Qian's been asking to go to the amusement park for a while now and she never has time.
08:19I get it.
08:20She works hard.
08:21I'll just keep things running at home.
08:23Honestly, Mom,
08:24we haven't been close in over three months now.
08:26At this rate,
08:26it's going to take a toll on us.
08:28Mother-in-law fired back.
08:29What?
08:29I'm going to have a serious talk with her.
08:30Don't you worry.
08:31I raised her right.
08:32She would never do anything to embarrass this family.
08:34I said,
08:35No, no, it's on me.
08:37I'm just not good enough.
08:38Anyway, I've got things to take care of.
08:40Mom, thank you so much for looking after Liu Li.
08:41I really appreciate it.
08:43I kept my tone humble the whole time.
08:45She didn't pick up on a thing.
08:46I thought to myself,
08:48Don't let me down, dear mother-in-law.
08:49She walked in with a whole live chicken.
08:51She hadn't forgotten what I asked.
08:53First thing she did was tell Liu Li to find a family photo.
08:55Funny timing, too.
08:57Liu Li had just finished a call with Liu Xingqian and was completely drained.
09:00She was lying there, barely conscious, half asleep.
09:03She could feel her mom walking in,
09:04but all she managed was to lift an arm.
09:06Not a single word.
09:08Mother-in-law.
09:09Liu Li, how are you holding up?
09:10Feeling any better?
09:11I just got off the phone with Chen Mo.
09:12He asked me to come take care of you.
09:14Girl, you've got such a good man.
09:15You're way luckier than me.
09:17Liu Li, mom, I'm exhausted.
09:19I've got nothing left.
09:19I just need to sleep.
09:21Liu Li heard every word her mother said,
09:22knowing her husband had been taking care of her ever since he got back.
09:25A wave of shame washed over her.
09:27She turned away so her mom couldn't see her face.
09:29Mother-in-law.
09:30All right, all right, get some rest.
09:31Oh, by the way, the preschool teacher wants a family photo.
09:33Chen Mo's phone broke yesterday and he lost everything.
09:36Mother-in-law.
09:37I'll find one and send it over for you.
09:38Liu Li was barely there, head pounding.
09:40She instinctively reached for her phone.
09:42Her mom saw how rough she looked and took it from her.
09:44Mother-in-law.
09:44Here, let me handle it.
09:46You're way too pretty.
09:46I've got to find a good one.
09:47I sat in the back seat of the cab, listening through the hidden camera feed.
09:50A slow smirk crept across my face.
09:53If I wasn't in this cab right now, I'd probably have burst out laughing.
09:56Go ahead and take a good look, dear mother-in-law.
09:58Go ahead and take a good look, dear mother-in-law.
09:58Go ahead and take a good look, dear mother-in-law.
