Investigators first followed Li’s husband and found he was having a relationship with a young woman.
Li was excited about the findings, saying the evidence could help her get all of the family’s possessions after their divorce.
However, the husband appeared at the company several days later, asking them to collect evidence about Li’s extra-marital affair.
