According to reports by journalist Wang Sheng, Hu was prosecuted for allegedly extorting money from his brother-in-law. According to the prosecution, after Zhang, who worked in her own company, had an improper relationship with her cousin, her husband Liu dismissed her cousin but was then blackmailed twice for a total of 1.5 million yuan.
Zhang originally had a happy family; her husband Liu was the boss of her own company. Since Zhang's cousin Hu did not work, Liu arranged for him to be a driver in his own company. The prosecution charged that as Liu frequently traveled on business, Zhang often spent time with her cousin Hu and developed an inappropriate relationship with him. Three years later, Liu accidentally discovered their secret affair and angrily expelled Hu from the company. With his source of income cut off, Hu harbored malicious intentions and demanded 450,000 yuan from his sister-in-law under the threat of exposing their private photos. Fearing the exposure of his wife's secrets, Zhang's husband reluctantly transferred the money into Hu's account. After easily succeeding the first time, Hu found this method of making money simple and thus became even more audacious, demanding another 1.05 million yuan from his sister-in-law. This time, Zhang and her husband Liu chose to report the incident to the police, leading to Hu's arrest. Currently, the Chaoyang District People's Procuratorate has prosecuted Hu for extortion.
