A 25% chance was not too bad, but this decision involved more than a hundred lives, so no one dared to make such a big gamble.
Everyone was silent. A minute later, the psychologist said, “I have had bad luck since I was a child, and I had lost every bet, so I can’t make this decision.”
As soon as he said this, everyone was thinking about their luck in the past. The people who boarded this plane were all elites, and their luck was definitely not bad, but it might be that they had used up their luck, so they boarded this deathly flight.
No one wanted to die.
Most of the people retreated, and the remaining few did not speak, and their faces were full of hesitation.
The middle-aged man looked back at everyone, and finally his eyes fell on Cen Baihe. “The Cen family has cultivated plenty of merits for generations and has always been blessed. Even this bomb was discovered by Mr. Cen. The decision is up to you. “
Cen Baihe did not speak.
The middle-aged man looked at the others again. “Do you have any objections?”
At the moment, it was not about wealth and status, but who had better luck and accumulated more merits. Everyone knew the good that the Cen family had done over the years. In addition, Cen Baihe had always been exceptionally lucky. Everything he did brought him money. Even his health had gotten much better this year. With the help of a master, his sickness was completely gone.
In the face of great difficulties, many people would subconsciously avoid making decisions and responsibilities, so no one objected to the middle-aged man’s decision.
“Mr. Cen,” the middle-aged man handed the scissors to Cen Baihe. Cen Baihe glanced at the tool in his hand. Are these sewing scissors?
“There are no other tools on the plane, these scissors are quite sharp, just make do with it,” the middle-aged man wiped the sweat from his forehead, and smiled. People who could still smile in this situation must be exceptionally calm.
Cen Baihe squeezed the scissors, watching the time on the clock go by second by second. He found it hard to move.
In most movies that had a similar plot, the lead would be faced with a few wires of different colors. However, the wires that Cen Baihe was looking at were all the same, they were all mustard yellow.
He took a deep breath, and reached for one of them.
“Mr. Cen! Wait a minute,” a chubby man who had a pale face said. His eyes were full of panic. “There are still more than ten minutes left. Why don’t you think about it again. Don’t rush it.”
Cen Baihe looked down at the wires in front of him, remembering what Qian Qian once said.
Qian Qian said that he was born a very blessed person, and the purple energy on his body could not only bless himself, but also others. He clenched the scissors in his hand, and when he was about to make a decision, he suddenly heard a dragon’s roar.
Twice. He heard two more dragon roars.
Cen Baihe slowly exhaled, and before anyone could react, he cut the wire.
Click.
Everyone on the plane suddenly felt that time had slowed down. They couldn’t help but close their eyes.
One second passed, then two and five. There was no explosion.
“Did he… succeed?” Someone asked.
“Did he succeed?”
“He succeeded!”
The group of people finally lost their composure. Some of them laughed, some wept with joy, and some rushed over and hugged Cen Baihe. No one cared whether Cen Baihe was unapproachable or not. In their eyes, Cen Baihe was their savior!
Cen Baihe felt that someone was hugging his hip, one was holding his hand, and another was calling his name. There were cries, laughter and applause in the cabin. This was the joy of escaping death.
Only the man who was tied to the chair shouted that it was impossible. He claimed that cutting a wire would not stop the bomb from detonating at all, it would only speed it up. He thought that they were going to die anyway.
But why did the clock stop?
That is impossible!
“Mr. Cen, did you cut two?!” The middle-aged man had wanted to put away the bomb carefully. After the plane landed, he would hand it over to the police waiting at the airport. What he did not expect was that Cen Baihe did not just cut one, but two wires.
“It doesn’t matter if it’s one or two, as long as the bomb doesn’t go off!” An old lady glared at him, “What’s there to shout about.” After saying this, she stood beside Cen Baihe like a crazy fan girl. She took his hand and shook it a few times.
“What luck! I won’t wash my hands after this!”
“Yes, yes, let’s all get some of his good luck!” The people were not in their right minds. At this moment, Cen Baihe was no longer the fifth master of the Cen family, but a living god. They thought that they could live long and evade all evils just by touching him.
Cen Baihe had never been in such a situation. If he had been surrounded by people like this in the past, he would have left, but at this moment, a smile appeared on his face.
He didn’t mind it. It’s not like he’d lose a piece of his flesh.
The news soon reached the headquarters, and they immediately relaxed. Several of the younger staff members even applauded with joy.
“Thank goodness!”
“Keep in touch with the people on the plane at all times.”
“Ask the airport’s police and bomb diffusal experts to stand by. Don’t let your guard down until all the passengers have left the plane safely.”
The Cen family was one of the first people to receive the news about the hijacking incident.
“Dad, should we tell Qi Yan?” Third Master Cen thought that Qi Yan should know, considering their relationship. Besides, it’s good to have one more person praying for him.
“No,” Cen Qiusheng shook his head, “If they were not meant to be, why make him sad?”
Second Miss Cen’s lips trembled, but she didn’t say anything. Before her younger brother returned safely, there was no point thinking about other things.
As time passed by, the Cen family became more and more anxious. Their eyes were fixated on the phone on the coffee table. They were both afraid and looking forward to the phone ringing.
“Ring! Ring!”
Cen Qiusheng’s hand shook. He looked at the phone and said in a hoarse voice, “answer it.”
First Master Cen picked up the phone receiver with trembling hands. “Hello, this is the Cen’s residence.”
“What?!” Brother Cen raised his voice, “Really?!”
“Okay, thank you!” First Master Cen hung up the phone and looked at his family in ecstasy, “Baihe is fine, they are safe!”
“Are you sure?!” Cen Qiusheng looked at his eldest son and asked, “Is he really okay?”
“Yes, the plane has landed at the coastal airport. No one was killed, only the hijacker and one passenger were injured.” First Master Cen put his hands together, “god bless!”
A smile finally appeared on Cen Qiusheng’s face, and even the wrinkles around the corners of his eyes were filled with joy, “arrange for a private plane to pick him up immediately!”
“Okay, dad.” First Master Cen stood up from the sofa in a hurry and said with a big smile, “I’ll get it done right away.”
It was not until the plane landed at the airport and all the passengers were evacuated safely that the news of the hijacking was released.
At first, no one on the Internet believed it, some even scolded the people who spread the news, accusing them of having bad intentions. They knew how important the people in the plane were.
Someone found the list of people who were on the plane, which included scholars, successful businessmen and elites from all industries. If something were to happen to these people, it would be a big loss to the economy.
There were more and more rumors on the Internet. Netizens began to ask for the truth. However, they felt odd that there was no official announcement from the media.
At 12:00 noon, a certified account of the police force issued an announcement. They confirmed the hijacking incident and that the man was arrested. The case was under review at the moment..
As soon as this announcement was made, people were relieved that the man was caught, which meant that the plane had landed safely and there were not many casualties. Many expressed their gratitude and were happy that the passengers were safe.
Although there were many toxic people on the Internet, most left positive comments after seeing the announcement.
Most humans are still inherently kind.
When Cen Baihe took the private plane back to Capital City, it was around two o’clock in the afternoon, and he was accompanied by several people on the flight.
When they stepped on solid ground again, they suddenly realized that they had just a near-death experience.
After saying goodbye, Cen Baihe returned home and was drowned in his family’s enthusiasm, but he didn’t see Qi Yan until night fell.
Calling his cell phone, a strange man answered the phone.
“Mr. Cen?” The person on the other end of the phone seemed to know him and said, “it’s great that you can come back safely. Master Qi was injured and was in a coma. He is still being treated in the hospital.”
Injured?
Cen Baihe thought of the dragon roars.
“Please tell me the address of the hospital and I’ll come right away.”
