Chapter 383: Abducting the Wrong Person Causes Chaos

Lei Laohu looked towards the hotel entrance.

As expected, he immediately saw Xu Shaochen and two other young men walking out.

“Take action!”

With Lei Laohu’s command, the doors of two cars opened simultaneously. Apart from two drivers ready to assist, Lei Laohu led five people to rush down.

Xu Shaochen and his two companions had been drinking, so they were a bit tipsy and didn’t notice anything suspicious at first.

However, Long Yi and Long Er, ever vigilant, instantly spotted Lei Laohu and his group with ill intentions.

“Escort the boss first.”

Long Yi and Long Er made this decision simultaneously, as they were only responsible for protecting Xu Shaochen’s safety.

Huang Wenqiang and Tang Siyu were none of their concern.

“Don’t move!”

Lei Laohu’s group rushed over, pulling out their guns. Chaos ensued on the street.

“Aaaah!”

The women’s screams were deafening, once again proving how they only scream in such situations.

Huang Wenqiang and Tang Siyu were sober instantly, instinctively wanting to run.

But it was too late. While Xu Shaochen managed to escape back into the hotel with the help of Long Yi and Long Er.

“Boss, what do we do?”

Watching Xu Shaochen enter the hotel, the small fry dared not follow.

Because it was the city center, entering the hotel would waste time, and by then it would be too late.

“Damn it, chase those two guys and kidnap either one.”

Lei Laohu cursed and then led the charge towards Huang Wenqiang.

After all, they couldn’t just leave empty-handed.

Huang Wenqiang was well-dressed, indicating he wasn’t short on money.

Moreover, he had just appeared quite friendly with Xu Shaochen, so even if nothing else, he could be used to extort some money from Xu Shaochen.

So, Huang Wenqiang, Young Master Huang, took the fall for Xu Shaochen and was forcibly thrown into the car by Lei Laohu.

“What are you doing? Let go of me! Do you know who I am? You’re asking for death by kidnapping me!”

At first, Huang Wenqiang struggled, but once the car was on its way out of the city, he quieted down.

Because he knew revealing his identity wouldn’t make them hesitate; they’d likely kill him to silence him.

Ultimately, if someone as influential as him returned alive, he wouldn’t spare them.

After Lei Laohu’s group left, Long Yi and Long Er brought Xu Shaochen out of the hotel.

“Brother Xu, there’s trouble. Young Master Huang has been kidnapped.”

Tang Siyu rushed over, looking anxious. Earlier, he had dodged into a clothing store to avoid the ordeal.

“Call Young Master Huang’s family and inform them.”

Xu Shaochen also appeared serious. A top official’s son being kidnapped at gunpoint in broad daylight promised a major upheaval in Songshan.

Whether he would be implicated was certain, but it wouldn’t affect the overall situation.

Being a bright individual, the top official wouldn’t be pleased with Xu Shaochen, but due to his influence, he’d keep it private.

Because Xu Shaochen could offer more.

Xu Shaochen was furious, as it was obvious they were targeting him. Huang Wenqiang’s misfortune was collateral damage.

No matter how strong he was, he couldn’t fight against several armed men.

This was reality, not a cultivation novel.

Reinforcing security was essential.

Xu Shaochen quickly took out his phone and called Linda: “Tell Miss Jenny to send a hundred people from the Xu International Security Company to form a domestic security company.”

Having a hundred bodyguards was too much, attracting attention.

So forming a security company under the guise of normal operations was appropriate.

Damn it, with a convoy following him, let’s see who dares to mess with him.

………

Half an hour later.

Songshan was in an uproar.

Police cars were everywhere, and the streets were filled with officers. Roadblocks and temporary checks were set up.

It’s said the top official was furious during a meeting, demanding the case be solved within 24 hours.

All the officers were determined to make the kidnappers’ lives miserable once caught.

If not for the kidnappers, they wouldn’t be enduring such a long night.

With such a large-scale operation, Lei Laohu and his group, hiding in fear, knew they had made a huge mistake.

Lei Laohu immediately contacted Si Mingfei.

“Young Master Si, you have to help me. With the current chaos outside, it’s not just about ransom; even escaping alive from Songshan is uncertain.”

“You idiot, who told you to kidnap recklessly? Do you know who you’ve kidnapped? The top official’s son, you worthless piece of trash!”

Si Mingfei was furious, wanting to kill Lei Laohu.

“Ah! Young Master Si, you must help me! If not, I’ll expose you!”

Facing Si Mingfei’s rage was like being struck by lightning, and Lei Laohu, pale and desperate, threatened Si Mingfei.

He never expected that the person he kidnapped was the top official’s son, breaking the Songshan sky.

In his dire situation, Si Mingfei was his last hope.

“You… damn it! I tell you, treat Huang Wenqiang well. If he loses even a single hair, you’re dead. I’ll handle the rest.”

Faced with Lei Laohu’s threat, Si Mingfei was furious but helpless.

He was the mastermind behind the kidnapping, but never imagined those idiots would abduct Huang Wenqiang.

Meanwhile, tied up and hearing Lei Laohu’s conversation, Huang Wenqiang knew his life was safe.

Other people’s threats might be effective where his wouldn’t.

“Young Master Huang, we didn’t mean to kidnap you. It was a mistake. Are you listening?”

After hanging up, Lei Laohu, pale-faced, tried to communicate with Huang Wenqiang, seeking forgiveness.

“Was it Si Mingfei who ordered you?”

Huang Wenqiang asked tentatively, knowing the rare surname Si and the reputation of Si Mingfei in Songshan.

Though aware he was a scapegoat, he was helpless, redirecting his anger towards the true mastermind.

“Yes, it was him. Young Master Huang, think about it. Without him, we wouldn’t dare do such a thing! We’re just honest farmers.”

Without hesitation, Lei Laohu blamed Si Mingfei, prioritizing his survival.

“Let’s be honest, you can’t escape, but I can ensure your survival. The condition is to release me and testify against Si Mingfei.”

Huang Wenqiang, thinking clearly, began negotiating with Lei Laohu. He knew survival was their priority.

Offering complete safety would sound insincere and make them think he was lying.
