Threats to Huang escalated as standby police officers inquired about Huang's condition. The kidnapper lost his temper and started smashing objects, pouring cooking oil on Huang and turn on a gas cooker, with the intentions of perishing together.
"Only if people outside dash in, I will perish together with all of you." Huang cited the kidnapper saying after he was released.
