On the plane, the flight attendant explained some folk customs in a sweet voice and provided the best service to the guests in the cabin.
The people on this flight were all important people. Everyone here was used to being flattered and pleased. Now that so many of them were on this plane, the flight attendants were even more anxious.
All food and drinks on the plane must go through strict inspections, and even the flight attendants had to be screened before they could be here.
The ten-hour voyage was boring. Fortunately, the VIPs were well-behaved. They were very polite to the flight attendants, and did not behave unreasonably.
Cen Baihe slept with a sleeping mask on for a few hours, but the quality of sleep on the plane was not great. He took off his sleeping mask and glanced at the time. It was now around 7:30pm local time. Most of the people who came with him were still asleep. He rubbed his forehead and turned on the reading light.
The flight attendant brought him warm towels and mouthwash and asked in a low voice, “Would you like breakfast now?”
“No, thank you.” Cen Baihe wiped his hands with the towel, returned the towel to the flight attendant, and thanked him in a low voice.
The flight attendant bowed slightly, then left with the mouthwash and towel.
Suddenly, the lights in the cabin turned on, and a man’s voice came out through the speakers.
“Ladies and gentlemen, it’s 7:47pm local time. Thank you for flying with us.” The man suddenly laughed, “We have been flying for nearly ten hours, and it will take… your whole life.”
Cen Baihe frowned and looked around. The others were gradually awakened, and they looked worried.
“Cheer up, ladies and gentlemen, this is a flight to take you to paradise,” the man said with a sinister tone, “I am the pilot, your most loyal friend, Mr. Wei.”
Everyone finally understood at this moment that the plane was hijacked.
Many were already showing signs of panic, but they tried to keep calm.
“Very well, as expected of important people who know how to remain calm,” the man sneered, “by the way, I advise all bodyguards not to move around, I have already installed bombs on this plane, and I also have a miniature bomb inside me, if you want your employers to be safe, just sit there and don’t move.”
“Mr. Cen, what’s going on?” The closest to Cen Baihe was an old man who was over sixty years old. He frowned, and his face showed panic and suspicion, “Everyone on this plane was screened, why does this still happen?”
Cen Baihe shook his head, indicating that he didn’t know either.
But they both knew that this must be an inside job. It’s useless to think about these things now. The most important thing was whether they could find a way out.
“I’m afraid this person was mentally unwell,” the old man shook his head. “We might not be able to survive this.” He was a very famous psychologist. From the man’s words, he could guess his character.
He hijacked the plane, perhaps to “do a big thing” that the whole world would pay attention to. There were ninety-three passengers on this plane and eighteen crew members including the captain. If something happened, it would surely shock the world.
More importantly, many of them were elites from all walks of life. If something were to happen to them, it would be a huge blow to the country.
But no matter how eloquent they were, they couldn’t reason with a lunatic.
After a while, several flight attendants with their hands up came out of the cockpit, followed by a middle-aged man in uniform holding a gun.
This man looked to be in his forties, with a mustache. From his appearance, he looked like a friendly man. Even at this moment, he was looking at everyone in the cabin with a smile.
“Dear ladies and gentlemen, please stand up and squat in the aisle with hands on your head,” he raised his chin, “move faster, or this gun will fire.”
No one stood up, no one even moved.
This made him very upset. He shot a man in a suit sitting in the front row. The man cried out in pain and fell down.
“I’m not very patient, please act quickly.”
Everyone’s expressions became uglier. After exchanging glances, they started to stand up and stand on the aisle. Coincidentally, all the men stood in front of the women,
Mr. Wei noticed their actions, and he chuckled lightly. “Gentlemen, I applaud your virtue. Don’t worry, my guns won’t be aimed at women.” He let out another burst of laughter.
No one thought that was funny, and he seemed even more terrifying.
Cen Baihe stood in front of the elderly psychologist. He looked up at the man who looked a little crazy, and felt a little regretful in his heart.
When he confessed to Qian Qian that day, he should have been a little more firm and insisted on an answer from Qian Qian.
No, it’s actually okay, if something were to happen to him, Qian Qian could forget him and have a bright future, instead of living in the memory of him. When you love someone, you wouldn’t want them to feel even the slightest bit of hurt. Instead, you’d want them to be happy.
“Fifth Master Cen?” Mr. Wei noticed Cen Baihe glancing at him, and immediately turned his attention to him, “The Fifth Master Cen whom everyone reveres is now squatting on the ground like a dog. How pathetic.”
“Tsk tsk,” he sighed and shook his head, raised his gun and aimed at Cen Baihe’s chest, “it’s a pity that I hate pretentious rich people like you.”
“Crack!”
Mr. Wei pulled the trigger, but to his surprise, the gun didn’t fire. He frowned and continued to shoot at Cen Baihe twice, but the gun still did not fire.
Broken gun?
He looked at the gun in his hand in disbelief, how could such a thing happen?
“Bang!” He shook the gun in his hand, and his hand was numb in an instant. After a violent explosion, he saw a few severed fingers on the ground, and blood dripping down.
The gun blew up, and the hand that was holding the gun was gone.
At this moment, two bodyguards who were hiding in the crowd rushed up and knocked him to the ground. Then someone checked him with an instrument to see if there was really a bomb. Soon they found a remote control on his body, but there was no bomb. It seemed that it was just a lie.
“Everyone, be careful, look around to see if there are any suspicious objects.” A man who stood up and began to make plans.
No one objected. Even those who competed with this man looked around silently, lest they miss any corner.
“Mr. Cen, you almost died.” Several people who were very close to Cen Baihe were so scared for him. What kind of luck would it take for the gun to blow up?
Cen Baihe nodded slightly at these people, and said to a flight attendant who looked calm, “Take me to the cockpit, how is the co-pilot?”
“The co-pilot is tied up,” the flight attendant hurriedly opened the door and led Cen Baihe to the cockpit. At such a critical time, no one cared about the rules as long as the plane could land safely.
The cockpit door opened, and as soon as Cen Baihe entered, he saw the co-pilot who was tied to a chair. The voice of the staff at the command center was heard, but the co-pilot was gagged and could not make a sound.
He saw Cen Baihe coming over with excitement on his face. After Cen Baihe untied him, he immediately adjusted the plane’s trajectory and contacted the air traffic control.
“This is flight XXXX, I am Lu Renbing, the co-pilot. We encountered a hijacking incident. The hijacker was the captain, but he has been subdued,” the co-pilot was sweating and his voice was shaky, “there may be explosives in the plane. Now that the plane has entered the country’s airspace, please give us instructions.”
Air traffic control finally received the flight information, but before they could relax, they heard that the plane was hijacked and that there were bombs. Everyone started panicking.
There were so many important people on this plane. If something were to happen, it would be a blow to the country’s economy.
“We will arrange the nearest landing point for you, please pay attention to safety and keep in touch with us.”
There had not been such a major incident in a long time. What’s worse was that the plane was at an altitude of tens of thousands of miles above sea level. Even if the people on the ground wanted to help, they could only wait for the plane to land.
But in the current situation, could the plane land safely?
“It’s already eight o’clock in the morning,” Qi Yan yawned as he hadn’t slept all night. He felt that his brain was about to turn into mush, so he got up from his chair and said, “you can handle the rest yourself, I am going back to have breakfast and catch up on sleep.”
“Master Qi!” Zhao Zhicheng pushed the door in with a panicked expression, “Something big just happened!”
“What’s the matter?” Seeing Zhao Zhicheng’s pale face, Qi Yan guessed that this was bad.
“XXXX flight was hijacked, there may be explosives on board.”
“XXXX flight?”
“Yes, it’s the flight with all the important people from our country.”
Sh*t, isn’t Cen Baihe on board?
Qi Yan’s drowsiness disappeared in an instant!
