Mistaking My Sister-In-Law for My Wife After Getting Drunk!

"Not bad, you did well," Huo Liangze nodded in satisfaction and immediately took out his phone to dial the airport police chief's number, "Chief Zhou, I've come across something. A person from out of town has been kidnapped. I'll send you the address. You better have someone check it out fast, otherwise, we might have a big problem on our hands."

"What! Kidnapped?" Gao Yuanzhong was stunned.

There are different terms for restricting someone's movement in a particular place.

Illegal restraint, unlawful detention, and kidnapping.

The charges for these three scenarios are different; the first two are less severe, while the third one is more serious.

The charges can be interchangeable, depending on how people describe and handle the situation.

Many cases where someone describes a kidnapping as simply illegal restraint, and cases where restraint is manipulated into kidnapping, are plentiful.

Huo Liangze's direct mention of kidnapping clearly indicated his intention to press down hard on Gao Yuanzhong!

Song Chengwen's face turned pale, and he slumped into his seat.

If this was framed as kidnapping, he would not only lose his position as airport general manager but also could end up in prison for years!

Just a moment ago, when he was meeting with Gao Yuanzhong, he wanted to enjoy himself.

In the blink of an eye, he was thinking about which prison he'd end up in.

In essence, he had plummeted from heaven to hell.

…

Upon receiving orders from their superiors, the airport police immediately sprang into action.

Kidnapping cases are major incidents; many turn into homicide cases, with kidnappers often opting to kill their hostages.

Therefore, not only did the police respond swiftly, but the airport SWAT team was also deployed.

Five minutes later, the first group of police arrived at the scene and surrounded the bungalow so tightly that not even water could escape.

Soon after, the airport SWAT team also arrived.

Inside the bungalow, Duan Tianhua, who could not get through to Gao Yuanzhong's phone and received no reply to his message, began to have an ominous feeling.

He immediately started untying Xu Yang, continuously apologizing as he did so.

Although he was a thug, he had rich experience in the underworld.

If things went as expected, he'd probably bumped into major trouble this time.

Just as he was preparing to flee, he heard a commotion outside.

Looking out the window, he saw a large number of police officers and fully armed SWAT officers.

At that sight, Duan Tianhua felt his vision darken, nearly passing out.

Zhou Dalong and Wang Shengqiang were outright dumbfounded.

What the hell was going on?

Wasn't it said that Duan Tianhua had a strong backer in the airport police? Why were the police here then?

And accepting the police presence was one thing, but why had the fully armed SWAT team shown up?

They were just arresting a person; there was no need to stir up the SWAT team, right?

SWAT involvement typically indicated robbery or hostage situations, didn't it?

Then, someone outside started speaking through a loudspeaker, "People inside, please do not harm the hostage. As long as the hostage is safe, we can talk about anything!" Read exclusive chapters at My Virtual Library Empire

"Fuck!" Zhou Dalong exclaimed in shock, "Why do I feel like this is straight out of a movie with a kidnapping case, and what the police are saying?"

Wang Shengqiang peered out the window again and almost wet himself in fear, saying with a mournful face, "The SWAT is here, everyone's armed. It looks like they're really treating us as kidnappers!"

"Quit your fucking crying!" Duan Tianhua furiously slapped Wang Shengqiang across the face, knocking him to the ground.

Then, he turned to Xu Yang, knelt down in front of him and said, "Mr. Xu, I'm just following orders. Please don't drag us into your high-level conflicts."

He had already sensed that Xu Yang was no ordinary person.

Otherwise, Xu Yang wouldn't have been so calm after being brought here.

Now, with the police and even the SWAT on site, it was even more evident that Xu Yang was extraordinary.

Having said that, he also made a meaningful glance towards his subordinates.

Xu Yang's brothers immediately understood and caught Zhou Dalong and Wang Shengqiang, bringing them in front of Xu Yang.

Duan Tianhua continued, "Young Master Xu, regarding today's events, these two bastards are the instigators. With just one word from you, you can do whatever you want with them. What do you say?"

His underlings immediately forced the two to kneel on the ground.

Duan Tianhua then gave each of them a hefty slap before cursing, "You two bastards, aren't you going to apologize to Young Master Xu? Otherwise, if Young Master Xu gets angry and says we're kidnapping, we'll be looking at a few years behind bars at least!"

Zhou Dalong was backed by Gao Yuanzhong and often impersonated a police officer; to better accomplish the tasks assigned by Gao Yuanzhong, he had even boned up on some legal knowledge.

He knew that, with the right manipulation, a kidnapping charge could be downgraded to illegal detention or restriction of personal freedom.

If it had been handled as either of these two, escaping responsibility would have been much easier.

Zhou Dalong and Wang Shengqiang both felt a burning pain on their cheeks.

A succession of events had also made them realize what was happening.

Generally speaking, the two of them were quite arrogant, feeling untouchable backed by their connections.

People like them couldn't even qualify as real gangsters.

The reason they targeted Xu Yang was simply to let off steam and save face.

But now, neither letting off steam nor face mattered anymore.

The most important thing was not to be labeled as kidnappers.

Otherwise, if they really ended up in prison for several years, their lives would be over.

So, the two of them immediately started kowtowing to Xu Yang, begging for mercy.

"Young Master Xu, we know we were wrong, please have mercy and let us off."

"Young Master Xu, we realize our mistake, just think of us as a fart and let it pass."

Seeing no reaction from Xu Yang, the two exchanged glances, not knowing what to do.

"Young Master Xu, it was my cheap behavior that caused this trouble, I will punish myself. Please, forgive us."

Zhou Dalong, more astute, started slapping his own face while begging for mercy.

He slapped both cheeks with both hands, giving equal attention to each side, rapidly swelling up his face.

In order to gain Xu Yang's forgiveness, Zhou Dalong was truly desperate.

Seeing this, Wang Shengqiang grimaced and started slapping his own cheeks as well, pleading, "Young Master Xu, it's all my fault; I was blind on the plane and offended you. I'm willing to accept your punishment, just spare us this once, please!"

At that sight, Xu Yang stood up and said, "Alright, that's enough. I'll go out and explain things to them."

After speaking, he walked outside.

It wasn't that he was suddenly feeling generous and wanted to let these trash off the hook.

He was mainly worried that pushing them too far might actually turn this into a kidnapping, and they might kill him, which would end everything.

After all, many murder cases are the result of impulsive acts.

Especially for someone like Duan Tianhua, a hoodlum.

If you say you won't forgive them, and they get desperate and kill you, it's not out of the question.

Seeing this, Duan Tianhua breathed a sigh of relief and yelled to those outside, "Xu Yang is coming out; we're not kidnappers. We're coming out too, don't shoot."

The police and armed police outside, upon hearing this, all breathed a sigh of relief.

In situations like this, the top priority is to ensure the safety of the hostage.

As long as the hostage is unharmed, everything else can be negotiated.

…

By now, it was already daybreak.

In the presidential suite of a certain hotel, a young man got out of bed. After hearing his assistant's report, a smile appeared on his face: "This Xu Yang, coming to Haicheng, has stirred up so much in just one night; quite interesting indeed."

The assistant said, "Boss Tang, you wanted him to come to Haicheng to deal with him this time. I think we can continue with this incident. It may work out even better."

After thinking for a moment, Tang Jinghuan nodded with a smile, "You're right. Let's proceed with this incident. It's better than the plan I had in mind; Xu Yang might not have fallen for it!"
