Chapter 491 - 461 The Small Black Room

Xu Yang and Jiang Zhiyong entered the hotel room.

After washing up, they were preparing to sleep when suddenly a few people in uniform burst in.

Anyone who frequented the Fenghua Club would recognize the leader at a glance. It was Fenghua Club’s Duan Tianhua, dressed in a police uniform; they would definitely be astonished by Duan Tianhua donning police attire. Your next journey awaits at empire

"You’re Xu Yang, right?" Duan Tianhua, who often impersonated a police officer, pulled out a fake ID and flashed it in front of Xu Yang, "You’re involved in a case, come with us."

Xu Yang asked, "What case am I involved in?"

Duan Tianhua snorted, "You’ll know when you get to the police station!"

Jiang Zhiyong stepped in front of Xu Yang, looking ready to take action.

Duan Tianhua sneered, "What’s this, you want to stop us? Do you even know how serious it is to obstruct a police officer, huh?"

He was all too familiar with this sort of rhetoric.

Once, a big boss, also accompanied by bodyguards, was intimidated by Duan Tianhua.

In the end, that big boss was detained in a small dark room for a week!

Xu Yang furrowed his brows, "Yong, don’t do anything, I’ll just go with them."

Jiang Zhiyong stepped aside, "I’ll come with you."

Duan Tianhua said, "We enforce the law and only bring relevant individuals; we won’t take anyone who isn’t related."

Xu Yang said, "It’s okay, stay at the hotel and call Mr. Ma."

Jiang Zhiyong hesitated for a moment and then nodded, "Alright."

"Fall in!" Duan Tianhua smiled satisfactorily, waved his hand grandly, and ordered Xu Yang to be handcuffed and taken away.

They left the hotel.

After getting into the fake police car, Duan Tianhua grinned, "Kid, you seemed smart but turned out to be a moron, hahaha!"

Hearing these words, Xu Yang’s gaze sharpened.

At this point, if he couldn’t tell this man was an impostor cop, then he truly would be a fool.

Xu Yang asked, "Who sent you here? Just tell me, and I might let this slide!"

"You still want to hold it against me?" Duan Tianhua scoffed, "Even if you want to, you would need the ability to do so."

"This is Haicheng, even if you’re high and mighty elsewhere, you need to keep your tail tucked in Haicheng."

"How does that saying go? Even dragons curl up, and tigers lie down for me—that’s the way it is, understand?"

He had committed too many dirty and rotten deeds, yet no one could touch him.

In the airport area, Gao Yuanzhong was a bona fide big shot.

As long as he didn’t stir up too much trouble, no one could do anything to him.

The boss who was previously detained by him for a week was a billionaire.

When released, he spoke of how he would take revenge.

But once he returned, he didn’t dare to make even the slightest peep.

Duan Tianhua hadn’t recognized Xu Yang and was unaware that Xu Yang was the owner of Jiang’s Dredging.

Seeing Xu Yang so young and with a bodyguard, he assumed he was just a rich second-generation kid.

In Haicheng, there were too many rich second-generation kids like Xu Yang.

Haicheng was one of the country’s most economically developed cities, and the last thing it lacked was rich second-generations like Xu Yang.

Xu Yang narrowed his eyes, "Seems like the person behind you is quite formidable."

"Indeed," Duan Tianhua boasted with a smug smile, pulling out a stack of cards and offering them to Xu Yang, "Our boss didn’t want to do anything to you, just to teach you a lesson. Just give me a million, and I’ll let you go. What do you say?"

Xu Yang glanced at the bank cards offered by Duan Tianhua but made no move to take them.

There was no way he would pay.

"Looks like you don’t appreciate kindness," Duan Tianhua put the bank cards away and sneered coldly, "Since it’s like that, don’t blame me for being impolite."

He patted the driver, "Let’s go, to the usual place!"

Meanwhile.

In Jiang City, at Yang Xin Investment.

In the corporate warfare team’s office, everyone was present, none resting.

Xu Yang had gone to Haicheng today, and fearing something might happen to him, they were on standby here.

Just moments ago, Ma Yangrong received a call from Jiang Zhiyong reporting that the police had taken Xu Yang away.

After some investigation, they spotted the problem.

He clapped his hands and said to everyone, "We can now confirm that the ’police’ who took away President Xu were impostors, thugs in disguise. We have certain connections in Haicheng, but they’re nowhere near as strong as in Jiang City or within the province. Moreover, being an international metropolis and national economic center, Haicheng is complicated.

Regardless, we must ensure President Xu’s safety. Let’s move."

On hearing this, the office immediately buzzed with activity.

Over with Xu Yang.

He had been brought to a bungalow near the airport—Duan Tianhua’s little black room.

The bungalow was quite large, over a hundred square meters, containing only two tables and a handful of chairs.

There was also a box in the corner, contents unknown.

Due to the scarcity of items, the place looked quite spacious.

On the table, there were assorted snacks—duck necks, chicken wings, chicken feet, pig’s feet and such, additionally two bags of peanuts along with several bottles of beer and mineral water.

"Make yourself comfortable, whatever you want to eat, just help yourself!"

Duan Tianhua did not make things difficult for Xu Yang, nor did he tie him up; instead, he began to host Xu Yang.

After all, he believed that Xu Yang couldn’t escape; there was no need to bind him.

The snacks had been brought by one of his underlings, who had since left.

Xu Yang didn’t stand on ceremony; he sat down at the table, picked up a bottle of water, twisted off the cap and took a few sips, then donned disposable gloves and began gnawing on a pig’s foot.

Truth be told, the pig’s foot was quite tasty.

After a night of turmoil, he was indeed hungry.

"You sure make yourself at home!" the others also sat at the table and began to eat and drink.

These men had no inhibitions; each opened a bottle of beer to drink.

Watching them drink beer and eat the snacks was quite an appetizing sight.

Someone unaware of the situation might have thought Xu Yang was just socializing with these folks.

Duan Tianhua did not partake in the eating or drinking; instead, he stepped outside, pulled out his phone, and dialed Gao Yuanzhong, "Boss Gao, I’ve brought the guy to the place. When will the people you mentioned arrive?"

Gao Yuanzhong had instructed him to inform once the person was brought in, saying that he would send someone over.

The earlier episode where Duan Tianhua produced a bank card and asked Xu Yang to make a transfer was simply him trying to make some extra income on the side.

As for the idea of setting Xu Yang free after receiving money, that was out of the question.

He was definitely going to carry out Gao Yuanzhong’s orders.

His good life was all thanks to Gao Yuanzhong’s backing.

Even if Xu Yang gave him ten million, he wouldn’t let Xu Yang go.

Gao Yuanzhong replied, "Make sure you keep a close eye on him. People are coming soon."

After speaking, he hung up the call, then dialed Song Chengwen, "Old Song, I’ve caught the guy. I’ll send you the address later; you can have your people do whatever they want to him."

Song Chengwen responded, "Thanks a lot, Old Gao. Let’s get together sometime soon, my treat!"

Gao Yuanzhong checked the time; it was already past five in the morning, almost dawn, with little time left for sleep. He suggested, "Let’s not wait for another day. How about now? I know a place that’s sure to thrill you. What do you say?"

Song Chengwen thought it over; since Gao Yuanzhong had just done him a favor, it would be rude to refuse. So he said, "Alright, send me the address and I’ll head over."

After hanging up, he quickly received two messages—one with Xu Yang’s location, the other a place that promised a good time.

He forwarded Xu Yang’s location to Zhou Dalong, then proceeded to the pleasurable address Gao Yuanzhong had sent him.
