After a year away on a business trip, I secretly returned, planning to surprise my wife. At the villa, I entered the smart lock code by habit. Strangely, it kept saying the password was wrong, no matter how many times I tried. Just as I was about to call my wife and ask whether the lock was broken, a sharp voice rang out behind me. A dark-skinned, middle-aged woman grabbed me by the collar without a word. “Well, look at you, a thief daring to strike in broad daylight! Think you can take advantage of Yi Zhi because she’s young?” She spat right in my face. I stared at her in confusion. Who was Yi Zhi? I had paid for this villa in full.
