Mistaking My Sister-In-Law for My Wife After Getting Drunk!-Chapter 748 - 747: Decided to Go for It

Chapter 748: Chapter 747: Decided to Go for It

Xu Yang left the World Tree Café and went downstairs.

Wang Xiaocong had not left yet and was waiting here.

Once they got into the car, Wang Xiaocong couldn’t contain his curiosity and asked, “How did it go? Who’s the owner of the World Tree Café, and what did they want with you?”

Xu Yang explained the situation.

Wang Xiaocong exclaimed, “Damn, it turns out to be a young and beautiful female owner. Wait a minute, it seems like the number one family in the States is the Jedson Family. Could it be that this Fanny is a member of the Jedson Family?”

Xu Yang said, “The Jedson Family is the number one family in the States? I didn’t know that. Maybe this Fanny is a member of the Jedson Family. If she can run such a café and have such informed sources, then it’s not surprising.”

Wang Xiaocong asked, “You said she’s pretty, didn’t you have any ideas? Like having a one-night stand or something?”

Xu Yang rolled his eyes, “Wang, remember, I am a married man.”

Wang Xiaocong curled his lip, “So what if you have a wife? Sleeping with a woman outside, your wife won’t know. It’s perfectly normal for rich men to sleep around.”

Xu Yang said, “Maybe it’s as you say, but that sort of thing doesn’t fly with me. I won’t sleep with someone I have no feelings for. Besides, I think once you’re married, you should remain loyal to the other half. I don’t want to create a mess for the sake of a moment’s pleasure. Let’s not talk about this sort of thing again.”

Wang Xiaocong said, “Alright, you have your principles, and I won’t bring it up again.”

Xu Yang said, “Aren’t you forgetting the most important matter?”

Wang Xiaocong was taken aback, “What most important matter?”

Xu Yang said, “That Harriman and Black Hawk Gang are planning to kidnap and extort us.”

Wang Xiaocong blurted out, “Damn, I totally forgot about that!”

The focus had been entirely on the young and beautiful owner of the World Tree Café, and he had completely forgotten about it.

Xu Yang said somewhat speechlessly, “You have so many internet celebrity girlfriends, yet all you can think about is this.”

Wang Xiaocong gave a sheepish laugh, “Having internet celebrity girlfriends is one thing; what I choose to think about is another.”

Xu Yang said, “Let it be. You live your life, I’ll live mine. Let’s not judge each other.”

Wang Xiaocong said, “That’s true. But let’s talk about Harriman. Do you really believe Fanny will sort it out for us?”

Xu Yang said, “As you said, she could be from the biggest family in the States. Someone like her is unlikely to lie. However, we still need to be prepared in case something goes wrong on her end, and we’re caught off guard.”

Wang Xiaocong nodded vigorously, “Absolutely, we can’t put all our eggs in Fanny’s basket, especially since we’re not close to her. So, what should we do?”

Xu Yang said, “I should be fine; after all, I can handle myself. In our residence and the areas we frequent, a large-scale shoot-out is highly unlikely. To a certain extent, I’m fairly safe. But you, you need to have bodyguards with you at all times.”

Wang Xiaocong kept nodding, “Yes, yes, I need to have bodyguards with me. Until we get results from Fanny, I’ll just hunker down in the hotel. Those guys wouldn’t dare cause trouble in a hotel, right?”

Xu Yang said, “That shouldn’t happen. If our hotel is targeted by the gangs, it would be a national embarrassment for the States.”

The hotel they were staying in was one of the most luxurious in New City.

Its guests were either wealthy or prestigious.

If such a high-profile hotel were targeted by gangsters, it would indeed be a major disgrace for the States.

The hotel might as well shut down if that were the case.

It’s safe to say that in its hundred-year history, the hotel had never encountered gang-related troubles.

So, their safety was virtually guaranteed inside the hotel.

Wang Xiaocong said, “Exactly, there should be no problems then. When I get back, I’ll just stay in the hotel. I’ll even have my meals in the hotel restaurant. I’ll only leave when we visit the Brook Family tomorrow. Perhaps by then, Fanny will have resolved the issue.”

Xu Yang nodded, “Right, that would be best. We don’t really have business outside anyway. We’ve already seen everything there was to see yesterday, and I’m not interested in going out anymore. Staying in the hotel is fine by me.”

While conversing, they arrived back at the hotel, safe and sound.

…

Evening.

Harriman visited the headquarters of the Black Hawk Gang again and met Lucas on the rooftop.

“Boss, how’s it going?” Harriman asked.

This time he could sit directly across from Lucas, who didn’t ask him to drink.

“Harriman, you’ve disappointed me,” Lucas said slowly.

Harriman was stunned, “Boss, what happened?”

He didn’t quite understand what Lucas meant.

How had he disappointed Lucas?

Last night, Catherine said the same thing to him.

Tonight, Lucas repeated it.

“Harriman, the ones you wanted us to kidnap, Xu Yang and Wang Xiaocong, are not just the bosses of YTXC company but also friends of Mr. Richard. The most important point is the latter. Kidnapping Richard’s friends, are you trying to send us to our deaths?!” Lucas suddenly roared fiercely.

Kidnapping Richard’s friends was indeed courting death.

To those big shots, they were nothing but ants.

Give those big shots a bit of money, and countless gangs would do their bidding.

The Black Hawk Gang was a small one, with just dozens of members.

If another gang came to besiege them, they would surely be annihilated.

“Furthermore,” Lucas continued, “it was you who crossed Xu Yang and Wang Xiaocong. You planned to use our hands for revenge, not to truly open up a path to wealth for us. I already know about your conflict with Xu Yang and Wang Xiaocong last night.”

Harriman’s expression didn’t change: “Boss, although they are friends of Richard, they are from Huaxia. I believe Richard doesn’t consider them true friends. It might just be a pretext, and your knowledge of last night’s incident doesn’t surprise me. If you didn’t know, that would be the real surprise.”

Lucas, furious, said, “Then why do you still come to me, talking about a path to riches? You’re sending us to our deaths!”

Harriman replied, “Boss, please calm down and hear me out. I just said, Richard calling Xu Yang and Wang Xiaocong his friends might just be a pretext. Otherwise, think about it. If Xu Yang and Wang Xiaocong were really Richard’s friends, how could I have gotten out of the police station?”

Lucas paused, considering that there might be some truth to it.

Xu Yang and Wang Xiaocong had been confronted by Harriman.

If Richard truly valued Xu Yang and Wang Xiaocong as real friends, he would have pursued the matter to the end, making sure Harriman paid the price. That would be the way to honor the value of friendship.

But Harriman was released from the police station last night.

What did that indicate?

It showed that Richard didn’t bother with the issue.

Otherwise, Harriman wouldn’t have been released from the station so quickly.

If Richard wanted to deal with Harriman, a single word from him could have landed Harriman in jail.

Thinking of this, Lucas said, “What you say does seem to have some merit.”

Harriman let out a sigh of relief, “So, this is doable. After we kidnap and extort them, we’ll have money. We can find a place in South America to live, which is far better than fighting and killing here.”

Lucas’s gaze flickered constantly, clearly deep in thought.

A moment later, he suddenly slapped the table with a decision, “Alright, let’s do it!”

Harriman was overjoyed, “Boss, we’ll definitely succeed this time. From now on, we’ll be the rich ones, living the life of the wealthy.”

Lucas smiled, “I hope so. Let’s start planning.”

He called over a few of his brothers to discuss the kidnapping plan.
