Rise of the Belittled Son-in-Law Chapter 250: Calling In Some Favors
Following the end of the call, Miles promptly dialed a different number. The phone rang multiple times before a rough voice picked up. "Hello Director Chen, Miles Autumn speaking." I hope I'm not disturbing any important matters. "Miles, how may I assist you?" The director was cautious yet friendly in his tone. "I'm having some trouble at my supermarket. Repeated disturbances, possible organized crime involvement. I was hoping you could send someone to investigate."A silence could be heard from the other side. Could this be related to the Chariot family in any way? Miles' hold on the phone grew stronger. "What is the reason for your inquiry?" "Just a hunch. We've been hearing whispers, Miles. Be careful who you're picking fights with.""I appreciate the concern, Director," Miles said smoothly. "But I can handle the Chariots. What I need is for these disturbances to stop. Can you help me or not?"Another pause. "Alright, Miles. I'll send someone over. But don't make me regret thi
Rise of the Belittled Son-in-Law Chapter 251: The Negotiation Table
The atmosphere in the temporary control room was tense as officers and negotiators gathered around a table, looking serious. Captain Rodriguez pounded his fist on the table, expressing his frustration through his voice. "Dammit! That negotiator just made everything worse. We've lost a hostage, and now those bastards inside are even more trigger-happy."Officer Chen, a seasoned veteran, leaned forward. "We need to change our approach, Cap. What if we send someone in with food? It could give us eyes on the inside."Rodriguez nodded slowly. "It's risky, but it might be our best shot. Who do we send?"As the officers debated, Miles stood at the edge of the group, listening intently. The police director noticed him and approached with a frown."Mr. Miles, this is a dangerous situation. You should leave for your own safety."Miles shook his head. "I can't just walk away, Director. Not when lives are at stake."The director sighed. "I appreciate your concern, but this is a job for trained p
Rise of the Belittled Son-in-Law Chapter 252: The Hostage Rescue Plan
Miles nodded solemnly. "Understood, Captain."The director sighed heavily. "I hope we're not making a terrible mistake here."As the team began to brief Miles on the plan, Elena approached him."Hey, Mr. Miles," she said, her tone softer than before. "I... I'm sorry for doubting you earlier. That was impressive."Miles gave her a small smile. "No apologies necessary, Officer Elena. You were right to be cautious. We're all on the same side here."Elena nodded. "Just... be careful in there, okay? Those guys aren't going to play nice.""I will," Miles assured her. "And when this is over, perhaps you'd be interested in some martial arts training?"Elena chuckled despite herself. "Let's focus on getting those hostages out first, hotshot."As the team finalized the details, Miles took a deep breath. He knew the dangers that awaited him inside that bank. But he also knew that sometimes, to protect what matters most, you have to be willing to risk everything.The food cart was prepared, and M
Rise of the Belittled Son-in-Law Chapter 253: Elena Bargaining Plot
Captain Rodriguez shook his head grimly. "We can't risk it. Not with a gun to his chest. We need to wait for an opening." Back inside, Miles felt the cold press of the gun barrel against his ribs. He understood the urgency of taking action, but a single misstep could put everyone in the bank at risk. "Pay attention," Miles said in a calm tone, "you're in a difficult situation."“I understand. However, murdering captives will not enhance your circumstances. Why not discuss this? Perhaps we can discover a solution that avoids causing harm to anyone else.”The leader hesitated, his grip on the gun loosening slightly. "You think you can negotiate better than that idiot the cops sent earlier?" Miles nodded slowly. "I'm willing to try if you are. What do you say we start by letting some of these people go? Show of good faith." For a moment, it seemed like the leader might consider it. Then his eyes hardened. "Nice try, but I wasn't born yesterday. You're stalling." He turned to his accom
Rise of the Belittled Son-in-Law Chapter 254: A Moment of Distraction
Miles seized the moment of distraction. "Listen, I have a proposition for you. One that could get you out of here alive."The leader's attention snapped back to Miles. "Talk fast.""Release the hostages," Miles said, gesturing to the terrified civilians huddled on the floor. "Keep me and the officer as your primary bargaining chips."Elena, who had been silently observing, spoke up. "Are you insane? We can't-"Miles cut her off with a sharp look. "Trust me, Officer. This is our best play."The leader laughed bitterly. "And why would we do that? These hostages are our insurance."Miles leaned in, lowering his voice conspiratorially. "Because I'm worth more than all of them combined. I'm the son of a major political leader in the capital."Elena's eyes widened in shock. "What? But that's not-""Not public knowledge, I know," Miles interrupted smoothly. "But it's true. And it makes me a very valuable hostage."The robbers exchanged glances, uncertainty creeping into their body language.
Rise of the Belittled Son-in-Law Chapter 255: Countdown Till Dawn
Stepping out of the bank, Miles was momentarily blinded by the bright sunlight. Blinking, he adjusted his eyes and found himself instantly encircled by nervous cops. "Mr. Miles! Are you alright?" The director rushed forward, concern etched on his face.Miles nodded, his expression grave. "I'm fine, but we have a situation inside. A forced attack won't work. We'll lose hostages."Captain Rodriguez frowned. "What are you suggesting?"Miles took a deep breath. "I've negotiated a deal. They're willing to release all the hostages in exchange for keeping me and Elena as key hostages."A collective gasp went through the gathered officers. Sergeant Frond, a stocky man with a perpetual scowl, stepped forward. "Are you out of your mind? We can't let them keep Elena!""Calm down, Sergeant," the director interjected. "Mr. Autumn, explain your reasoning."Miles nodded. "It's our best shot at getting everyone out alive. The robbers believe I'm the son of a major leader in the capital. They think I
Rise of the Belittled Son-in-Law Chapter 256: Inside the Bank Plan
Inside the bank, Elena was indeed growing increasingly agitated. "Where the hell is he?" she muttered, glancing at the door for the hundredth time.The lead robber paced nervously, his gun twitching in his hand. "If your buddy double-crossed us, you'll be the first to know," he growled.Elena glared at him. "He wouldn't do that. He's not that kind of person."But as the minutes ticked by, doubt began to creep into her mind. Had Miles really abandoned them? Was this all part of some elaborate plan she wasn't privy to?One of the other robbers spoke up. "Boss, maybe we should cut our losses. Use her as a shield and make a run for it."The leader hesitated, clearly torn. Elena tensed, ready to act if necessary. Just as the situation seemed about to boil over, a voice came over the megaphone outside."This is Nathan Chen, crisis negotiator. I'm coming in to talk. I'm unarmed and alone."The robbers exchanged glances. The leader nodded to one of his men, who cautiously approached the door.
Rise of the Belittled Son-in-Law Chapter 257: One Last Hostage Left
The robber's eyes widened. "How did you-""Let's just say I have connections," Miles interrupted. "Now, shall we?"The head robber nodded to his three accomplices. "You two, grab the money. You, keep an eye on the cop. And you," he said, pointing his gun at Miles, "you're driving."As they made their way to the car, Elena whispered to Miles, "What are you doing? This is insane!"Miles muttered quietly, "Believe me, I have a strategy." The group crammed into the vehicle, Miles at the wheel while the thief's leader sat in the front, holding a gun aimed at Miles. Elena was wedged between two thieves in the rear, while the fourth one sat alongside the money bags. As they pulled away from the bank, police sirens blared to life. The head robber tensed. "Lose them!"Miles navigated the streets with skill, weaving through traffic and taking sharp turns. Elena watched in amazement as he seemed to anticipate every move of their pursuers.After several tense minutes, the sirens began to fade.
