The parents found their sons missing about 11am yesterday and eventually located them in the nearby Xuanxiang Hotel. No matter what they said, the two boys refused to get out.
A witness surnamed He said the father attempted to break in, but the elder boy took out a pen-like object and threatened to hurt his younger brother if anyone enters the room.
The parents then called the police. At about 2:30pm, the boys were taken out of room by police without any harm.
A neighbor said the boys' parents were also summoned to the police station to get a lesson on how to be a good parent.
