When he returned home, he always saw his wife panicking, and also found that there were freshly extinguished cigarette butts at home, thinking that his wife was having an affair, he was determined to take revenge on his wife and her lover, but unexpectedly, the elaborate revenge fell on himself, and finally he found that he had misunderstood his wife, he regretted it, but it was too late.

He was a watch shop owner who had begun to suspect his wife was having an affair six weeks ago.

One day he came home with a cigarette butt in the ashtray, one wet and the other hot.

When he came home, his wife was often panicked.

He pretended not to know and never mentioned it, but in his heart he hated it to death.

He wanted to get rid of his wife.

She had no private money. Didn't buy insurance. He hurt her and didn't get any benefit.

She had been married to him for many years and hadn't quarreled with him. He was also not having an affair. But he always had that thought in his mind. The thought of a wife having a private meeting with another man makes the thought even stronger. He was going to get rid of both of them.

He could have told them face-to-face, but he just wanted to get rid of the two of them.

His wife went grocery shopping between 1:00 p.m. and 2:00 p.m. every day, and he chose to go home and load the bomb at that time.

He connected the wires in the basement and set the bomb alarm clock at 3 o'clock.

If not, the wife and lover would date at 3 o'clock.

He opened the basement door and walked into the ground floor foyer. There is a place on the 2nd floor where there are slight footsteps. Then he heard a drawer being pulled open and closed.

He wondered, who else but his wife? These incoherent sounds don't look like the wife makes, and there will be a sound when she comes in with her high heels stepping on the floor.

He turned sharply and looked toward the restaurant. A man was half-crouched and quietly walked toward him.

He opened his mouth wide in shock, and before he could react, the man reached out a hand and grabbed him by the throat, slamming him against the wall and holding him down.

"There's someone here!" The man shouted and punched him hard with his other hand.

Another man jumped down the stairs above, and two men tied him up, stuffed a piece of cloth in his mouth, and took the change from him.

Two men threw him down in the basement, and the man was so startled that he spun his head around on the floor like a madman, turned to the alarm clock, and then turned to the two men.

The two men didn't understand what he meant, and thought he wanted to run, so they pulled him up and tied him to a tube in the corner.

The two thieves turned to go.

The man turned his head in despair and set his sights on the alarm clock.

One of them saw it and said: Do you have a date? Why watch the alarm clock? Don't think about running away, I'm tied to this rope very tightly.

The two men turned and left.

The man listened to the ticking of the alarm clock and panicked to death. As soon as the two men walked away, no one knew he was tied up in the basement. Even if her wife returned, she would not easily go to the basement.

If no one finds him before 3:00, he will be the most miserable thing that awaits him.

He looked at the alarm clock and it was 1:35. There is 1 hour and 25 minutes left. For the first time, he felt that time passed both long and fast. He longed for his wife to come back and find him, and he wanted the alarm clock to stop turning.

He felt that time was too slow. Otherwise, why doesn't the wife come back? He felt that time was too fast again. If the wife does not return before 3:00, then he will die.

He was repairing watches, and of the hundreds of clocks he had repaired, he hadn't been going as fast as this one.

Suddenly a door above opened, and the sound of high heels stepped on top of his head.

He yelled at his wife's name. But no sound was made.

His eyes widened in horror and he looked up anxiously, and he could hear his wife's voice entering the kitchen.

He wished there was something in front of him that made him kick with his foot and make a rattling sound, and that would be nice.

He heard his wife's footsteps stop at the closet in the foyer and walk toward the ladder leading upstairs. The wife didn't know he was down there, but at least she was in this room with him.

That terrible sense of loneliness was gone, and he was so grateful that his wife was by his side. He had never loved her so much and needed her as much as he did now.

He wondered how he could have thought of getting rid of her? An hour earlier, he had gone crazy with such thoughts.

It must have been mad that he must have gone mad, and now that he is in good spirits, he is awake, and the ordeal he has experienced has restored his sanity, and as long as he is released, as long as he is rescued from this predicament, he must be good to his wife.

He looked at the alarm clock and it had been 9 minutes since his wife had returned. He began to fear again, why didn't his wife come to the basement to find something or something? That way she could at least see him. If she doesn't find him before 3 o'clock, then both of them will finish playing together.

He thought again that maybe her lover would come to her rescue, and as a husband, he eagerly awaited his wife's lover coming.

There are 49 minutes left at 2:11.

He wanted to live, and he wanted to live another 30, 40 years, not tens of minutes.

At this time, the phone rang, and he cried with joy, thinking that it must be the lover. The wife will definitely come down and answer the phone.

My wife picked up the phone and said to the people over there: I have 17 dollars missing in the drawer, and the watch my husband bought me is missing. He will definitely be angry when he comes back.

The man thought to himself, you hurry up and call the police, I don't get angry, I will never be angry again.

After a while the man came, and he heard his wife say to the man. Tell yourself about them.

They talked more and more, and the man understood, and he thought that his wife's lover was actually her brother, who had just escaped from prison, so his wife hid it from him, and every time she saw him panic.

He finally understood, it was too late.

The end result was: the bomb did not explode, but he was frightened.

He only thought of his wife's goodness when he was in a difficult situation, but it was too late.
