After learning that her husband had an affair, Ms. Zhang schemed to secretly film a video of her husband having sex with his lover. However, instead of using the video to threaten her husband into repenting, she collaborated with her husband, Yang, to extort money from the "other woman." Recently, the Bao'an District People's Court made a ruling, sentencing this money-obsessed couple to fixed-term imprisonment.
The "other woman" who was tricked into the extortion is surnamed Xu. Ms. Xu runs a car rental company where Yang works. Although both already have families, they still engaged in an extramarital affair. In September 2007, Ms. Xu funded the purchase of three minibuses. Due to concerns about property division in the event of a future divorce with her husband, she agreed with Yang that the vehicles would temporarily be registered under Yang's name.
