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

Chapter 496 - 466: Really Overthinking It

Tang Jinghuan chuckled, "It’s me, now you can rest easy, right?"

Gao Yuanzhong laughed, "Rest easy, of course I’m at ease, and please you be at ease too. I’ll have someone bring Xu Yang back immediately!"

He hung up the phone and immediately called his subordinates, "Did you just let the criminal, Xu Yang, escape?"

This subordinate was the captain who led the airport police to rescue Xu Yang, who had captured Duan Tianhua and others, saving Xu Yang.

Upon hearing Gao Yuanzhong’s words, he turned cold, not knowing how to respond.

How did the hostage become a criminal suspect?

Not hearing a response from his subordinate, Gao Yuanzhong knew the other party was still trying to get his head around the situation, so he explained, "The people you just caught are my informants, and that hostage, Xu Yang, is the criminal. Where is he now?"

Only then did the subordinate realize, "He’s already left, someone came to pick him up."

Gao Yuanzhong became anxious, as this was a matter critical to his further advancement, and said hurriedly, "Then you need to bring people and chase him down immediately, you absolutely cannot let him get away, I’ll be right there!"

He hung up the phone and immediately hailed a taxi.

As he opened the door, about to get in, a young woman came over and blocked him. Covering her abdomen with one hand, she pleaded in pain, "Big brother, I’m not feeling well, I need to go to the hospital. Could you let me have the taxi? If that’s not okay, we can share the ride. I’m just going to the nearby hospital, it won’t delay your affairs at all.

No matter where you’re headed, I’m willing to pay for the ride. What do you think?"

Gao Yuanzhong was instantly furious.

Who do you think you are, trying to take a taxi from me?

I hold an important position, I’m on my way to catch someone.

If you delay my pursuit, you’re impeding my chance to move up!

Moreover, I make a million a year, do I need your cab fare?

Without another word, Gao Yuanzhong shoved the young woman to the ground, got into the taxi first, slammed the door shut, and took out his cell phone to talk to the taxi driver, "Don’t run the meter, I’ll give you three hundred, get to the airport police station as fast as possible."

The taxi driver glanced at Gao Yuanzhong and said, "From here to the airport, the meter would charge almost three hundred as well, and you’re asking me to hurry for just three hundred, what are you thinking?"

The place was indeed far from the airport, but it wouldn’t cost that much.

Two hundred would have been sufficient; the driver was set to make an extra hundred.

The taxi driver saw that Gao Yuanzhong was in a hurry and decided to fleece him.

Opportunities like this were rare, so why not take the chance to overcharge when it presented itself?

Gao Yuanzhong was startled, having realized the driver was overcharging him, but with no other options, he could only say, "I’ll give you five hundred!"

The taxi driver smiled, "Five hundred won’t do, it needs to be eight hundred!"

"You..." Gao Yuanzhong’s nose was nearly crooked with rage. He thought to himself that normally, he drove a government car and was never treated like this. Did the driver really believe he wouldn’t get arrested for this? But it wasn’t the time to argue with the taxi driver. He had no choice but to swallow the loss, grinding his teeth, he said, "Fine, eight hundred it is!"

The taxi driver said, "Pay up front, cash or scan?"

Gao Yuanzhong said angrily, "Scan!"

The taxi driver brought out his own phone and opened WeChat to the payment QR code, "Scan this code!"

Since this was an off-the-books fare, he couldn’t scan the code in the taxi, only his personal QR code.

Gao Yuanzhong was furious, but he still scanned the code.

"Sit tight, I’ll get you to the airport police station as fast as possible!"

The driver saw the money was transferred and, satisfied with a smile, immediately drove off.

The young woman pushed down by Gao Yuanzhong expressed pain and eventually fainted.

People passing by, fearing she was a scammer specializing in staging accidents, dared not help her.

Later, a young man saw her and couldn’t bear it on his conscience, so he helped the young woman to a shady spot by the road, then called for an ambulance.

Before long, the young woman woke up, and upon seeing someone helping her, and remembering being pushed to the ground, tears uncontrollably streamed down her face.

The young woman was a beauty, and seeing her cry like that really pulled at the heartstrings.

The young man couldn’t stand seeing a woman cry, especially a beauty. Unable to bear the sight of her tears, he quickly asked, "Beautiful lady, don’t cry. Have you encountered some difficulties? Just tell me, and I’ll help you if I can."

The young woman sniffled twice and wiped her tears before saying, "I’m not really in any trouble. I just felt unwell earlier and wanted to take a taxi to the hospital, but someone pushed me down, and I passed out. Thank you, if it hadn’t been for your help, I wouldn’t know what would have become of me."

Hearing this, a sense of justice ignited within the young man.

He thought to himself, in this day and age, how could there still be such classless people.

To push such a beauty to the ground, that’s no better than a beast!

He looked around and pointed to a nearby convenience store, saying, "That convenience store definitely has security cameras. Let’s check the footage and find the person who pushed you. I’ll make sure to stand up for you!"

With that, he took the woman to the convenience store.

After some negotiations, they obtained the surveillance footage.

In the video, they could only see that the person who pushed the young woman was a pudgy middle-aged man in a white shirt.

No problem, the netizens today are all experts.

Even if there was just a glimpse of a fingertip, they could find the person!

So, the young man immediately logged onto his Douyin account and uploaded the video.

He worked in online marketing and promotion for an internet company.

Using the skills from his job, he had the video shared by over a hundred related accounts.

"Thank you," the young woman said to the young man, filled with gratitude.

"No need for thanks, when you’re out and about, it’s good to help where you can," the young man replied with a nonchalant wave of his hand.

Soon after, the ambulance arrived, and the young woman was taken away.

Watching the ambulance drive away until it disappeared from his sight, the young man couldn’t help but imagine his video going viral on Douyin, making it to the top of the trending list.

Someone found the pudgy middle-aged man, who got a thorough verbal lashing from netizens, ultimately lost his job, was socially ostracized, and vindicating the young woman.

And the young woman, grateful to him, grew closer to him over time, and eventually, the two fell in love, got married, had children, and led a happily ever after.

High on these thoughts, the young man returned to his company.

But when he checked his Douyin post, he saw it had only a few views and was far from trending.

At the top of Douyin’s hot search list was a short video of some young idol wearing a new pair of pants that day.

Suddenly, the young man felt dejected, thinking he had gotten ahead of himself. Shaking his head, he immersed himself back into his work.
