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

"Not bad, you did very well," Huo Liangze nodded with satisfaction and promptly took out his phone to call the head of the airport police station. "Chief Zhou, I've discovered something. A person from out of town has been kidnapped. I'm sending you the location. Hurry up and have someone check it out. If you're too late, there might be serious trouble."

"What! Kidnapping?" Gao Yuanzhong was stunned.

Restricting someone to a certain place can be described differently.

Illegal restriction of personal liberty, unlawful detention, and kidnapping are the three forms it can take.

The crimes are different for each of these situations, with the first two being less serious, but kidnapping is a much more serious charge.

It's possible to interchange these charges, depending on what one says and does.

There are many cases where kidnapping is downplayed to illegal restraint, and there are many cases where simple restraint is escalated to kidnapping.

Huo Liangze's direct use of 'kidnapping' clearly showed he wanted to pin Gao Yuanzhong down for good!

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

If this turns into a kidnapping case, not only would he lose his position as the general manager of the airport, but he'd also face several years in prison!

Just moments ago, when he met with Gao Yuanzhong, he was thinking about celebrating.

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

It could be said that he'd plummeted from heaven to hell in an instant.

...

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

Kidnapping cases are severe, and many end up turning into murder cases, with many kidnappers choosing to kill their hostages.

Therefore, not only did the police mobilize, but the airport SWAT team was also dispatched.

Five minutes later, the first group of police arrived at the scene, surrounding the bungalow so that no one could escape.

Shortly after, the airport SWAT team also arrived.

Inside the bungalow, Duan Tianhua, unable to reach Gao Yuanzhong over the phone and seeing no reply to the message he'd sent, began to have an ominous premonition.

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

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

If nothing unexpected happened, he must have messed with the wrong person this time.

Just as he was preparing to flee, he heard noises from outside.

Looking through the window, he saw a swarm of police, and they were all fully armed SWAT officers.

At that moment, Duan Tianhua's vision darkened, and he nearly passed out.

Zhou Dalong and Wang Shengqiang were outright dumbfounded.

What the hell was happening?

Wasn't Duan Tianhua's backing supposed to be a big shot from the airport police? Why were the police here then?

And why did even fully armed SWAT officers show up? They were just seizing a man; there was no need to involve SWAT, right?

SWAT deployments usually took place only for cases like armed robbery or hostage-taking, right?

At that moment, someone outside used a loudspeaker to call in: "Those inside, listen up. Please do not harm the hostage. As long as the hostage is safe, we can talk about everything!"

"Damn it!" Zhou Dalong exclaimed, "Why do I feel like this is just like the kidnappings in movies, what the police are saying."

Wang Shengqiang peeked out the window again, nearly wetting himself with fear, and said with a mournful face, "The SWAT are here, everyone's got guns. It looks like they're really treating us as kidnappers!"

"Cry for what, dumbass?!" Duan Tianhua slapped Wang Shengqiang angrily, knocking him to the ground.

Then, he turned to Xu Yang and knelt before him, "Mr. Xu, I'm just running errands. Please don't bring us into your high-level battles."

He had always felt that Xu Yang was no ordinary person.

Otherwise, being captured and brought here, he wouldn't have remained so composed.

Now that the police and even SWAT had arrived, it further proved Xu Yang was someone special.

After speaking, he also threw a glance at his underlings, signaling them.

The brothers immediately got the message and grabbed Zhou Dalong and Wang Shengqiang, escorting them in front of Xu Yang.

Duan Tianhua continued, "Mr. Xu, regarding today's incident, these two bastards are the masterminds. Just say the word, and you can do whatever you want with them. What do you say?"

His followers immediately forced the two men to kneel on the ground.

Duan Tianhua then slapped each of them hard and cursed, "You two bastards, don't you dare not apologize to Mr. Xu. If he gets mad and says this is kidnapping, we could be looking at several years behind bars!"

Zhou Dalong was under Gao Yuanzhong's protection and often impersonated a policeman. To better carry out Gao's directives, he even brushed up on some legal knowledge.

He knew that if things were handled well, kidnapping could be downgraded to illegal detention or restriction of personal freedom.

Getting charged with either of these made it much easier to escape a heavy sentence.

Zhou Dalong and Wang Shengqiang felt their cheeks burn with pain.

A series of events had brought them to their senses.

The truth was, they had always been arrogant because they felt they had strong backing and acted high and mighty.

People like them didn't even qualify as gangsters.

The reason they targeted Xu Yang was simply to vent their anger and save face.

But now, neither anger nor face mattered anymore.

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

Otherwise, spending years in prison would spell the end for them.

So, the two immediately kowtowed begging for Xu Yang's mercy.

"Mr. Xu, we realize our mistake. You're a big-hearted man, please let us off the hook."

"Mr. Xu, we're aware of our wrongdoing. Please consider us a fart and let us go."

Seeing no reaction from Xu Yang, they exchanged glances, unsure of what to do next.

"Mr. Xu, it's my own damn fault for causing trouble for you. I will punish myself—please forgive us," Zhou Dalong, being a bit shrewder, began slapping his own face while pleading.

He slapped both cheeks with both hands, taking care not to miss either side, soon swelling up his face.

To attain forgiveness from Xu Yang, Zhou Dalong was prepared to go all out.

Seeing this, Wang Shengqiang also clenched his teeth and began slapping his own face, begging, "Mr. Xu, it's all my fault. I was blind on the airplane and offended you. I'm willing to accept your punishment, I just hope you can spare us this once!"

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

Having said that, he walked outside.

It wasn't that he had suddenly become kind-hearted and decided to let these scumbags off.

Rather, he was afraid of driving them into a corner and getting them to actually turn this into a kidnapping, even killing him, which would be the end of everything.

After all, many murders happen in the heat of the moment.

Especially for the likes of Duan Tianhua and his crew.

If you say you won't forgive them, they might just harden their hearts and kill you, which isn't impossible.

Relieved, Duan Tianhua shouted towards the door, "Xu Yang is coming out. This isn't a kidnapping. We'll come out too, don't shoot."

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

In situations like this, ensuring the hostage's safety is the top priority.

As long as the hostages are safe, everything else can be negotiated.

...

By now, it was already daybreak.

In the presidential suite of a hotel, a young man got out of bed and, hearing his assistant's report, showed a smile, "This Xu Yang, just one night in Haicheng and he's stirred up so much trouble. Very interesting."

The assistant said, "Boss Tang, you wanted him to come to Haicheng exactly to deal with him. I think we could take advantage of this incident. It might work out even better for us."

Tang Jinghuan thought for a moment and nodded with a smile, "You're right. Let's proceed based on this incident. It's a better plan than what I had in mind. My plan might not have even worked on Xu Yang!"
