359: Chapter 354: Hijackers 359: Chapter 354: Hijackers “…”
Ye Tian glanced at Yun Xinyan beside him.
Although she had remained silent, Ye Tian could tell that her heart was filled with profound sorrow.
Capital City was a place of heartache for Yun Xinyan, where she had lost her relative, Yun Feng.
Therefore, Yun Xinyan was eager to leave as soon as possible, but ironically, she encountered a criminal hijacking the airplane, which further soured her mood…
“Wife, relax!
Within an hour, I guarantee you’ll be on the plane back to River City!” Ye Tian stood up and declared confidently.
“Wait, Ye Tian, what are you going to do?”
Yun Xinyan panicked, her eagerness to return not outweighing her concern for Ye Tian’s safety.
Ye Tian had already done so much for her; if something were to happen to him, how could she go on living?
“Don’t worry!
My dear wife, I won’t let anything happen to me before we have twins!”
Saying this, Ye Tian gently kissed Yun Xinyan’s forehead.
His words might have been flippant, but she wasn’t angry at all.
Instead, Yun Xinyan felt a warmth in her heart, and her cheeks flushed without her noticing.
“Stop talking nonsense, there are so many people here,” Yun Xinyan whispered, “Just be careful.”
“I will.”
Ye Tian nodded and then approached the airport’s boarding gate.
“Wait!
What are you doing?
The airport is dangerous, there’s a hijacking in progress!”
A fully armed police officer stopped Ye Tian.
The criminal was dangerous; he couldn’t allow unrelated people to go in and face potential danger.
“I am also a police officer, from River City.
Seeing that there’s a hijacking here, I wanted to offer a helping hand!”
Ye Tian lied, causing the police officer to be momentarily stunned.
“A police officer from River City?
Does that small city’s police force have the strength of ours?
Get out of here, this isn’t a place for cops from small towns to interfere!”
“You’re saying River City’s police lack combat strength?”
Ye Tian laughed coldly.
He was here to deal with the criminals for Yun Xinyan’s sake, and he didn’t want to be stopped by the local police.
“Actually, I came on behalf of River City’s police to learn from the experienced officers of Capital City.
Seeing that there’s a hijacking incident at the airport, I wanted to observe and see how Capital City’s officers handle criminals!
I’ll share everything I witness with my colleagues!”
Ye Tian changed his approach, and this time the flattery was spot-on.
The officer who had stopped him broke into a gratified smile.
“Since you’re here to observe and learn, I can let you in.
Remember, record all the mighty deeds of our Capital City police!”
The officer let Ye Tian through, who then passed the boarding gate and arrived at the airport tarmac.
Near one of the airplanes, dozens of police officers were gathered.
It seemed that this was the hijacked plane.
Ye Tian smiled and walked over.
The surrounding officers were all fully armed, with guns in their hands.
Everyone’s attention was on the plane, and no one noticed Ye Tian slowly approaching the aircraft.
“Is the ten million ready?
In five more minutes, our boss will start killing a person every ten minutes until everyone is dead!”
A criminal shouted arrogantly from the airplane door, his voice filled with haughty disdain.
“Please tell your boss that ten million is a huge sum, and it’s not possible to gather it so quickly.
Could you please grant us another hour?
We’re raising the money from various banks!”
The police negotiator was also sweating profusely, as this hijacking incident was exceptionally troublesome.
The criminals were uncompromising and demanding a high price.
He was powerless!
“Our boss said no extensions.
Now, there are only five minutes left.
If we don’t see ten million in cash after five minutes, be ready to collect the corpses of the passengers on the plane!”
The criminal wouldn’t budge, and all of the numerous police officers on the scene were ineffective.
The entire plane was under the control of the criminals—passengers, the captain, flight attendants… The criminals had guns, and what made it worse was that the plane had only one exit, making a surprise assault to rescue the hostages utterly impossible!
As time was running out, the police had no way to start.
At this rate, they would have to meet the criminals’ demand for ten million…
“Wait, who are you?”
Seeing Ye Tian squeeze into the group of officers, a policeman holding a handgun asked.
Ye Tian stuck to his story.
“I came as a representative of River City’s police to observe and learn!”
The officer arrogantly said, “Since you’re here to observe and learn, then stand back a bit.
These criminals are formidable, even our police are at a loss, let alone the police from the backwater of River City!”
It seemed that the police from the big cities looked down on their counterparts from smaller places like River City.
Naturally, they didn’t believe Ye Tian had any combat strength.
Ye Tian smiled wryly, feeling a bit guilty for having invoked the name of River City’s police.
The officers were all in a state of panic, but time wouldn’t stand still.
The more they wished for time to slow down, the faster it seemed to slip away!
Suddenly, the five minutes specified by the criminals were up!
“Time’s up.
It seems the police have no sincerity.
Our boss said, for those who are ungrateful, the only thing to do is to teach them a harsh lesson!”
As he spoke, the thug brought a flight attendant to the cabin door and pressed the knife he held violently against the flight attendant’s neck.
“Save me…
save me…”
The flight attendant pleaded in desperation.
Ye Tian steadied himself and realized that he knew this flight attendant.
Wasn’t she the flight attendant named An Qing he had met on the plane when he had just arrived in Capital City?
She was so unlucky to have encountered a hijacking.
“My friend, please don’t panic!
The money you’ve demanded will be delivered within five minutes, don’t do anything rash!”
The negotiation expert also panicked and desperately implored, but the thug in front of him was not the listening type.
“Humph, humph, humph, humph~~~~~~ Do you think we’re idiots?
You say five minutes, but in reality, the money isn’t even ready!”
The thug said smugly, using An Qing’s body to shield his own, which made the idea of taking a shot by the sniper impossible.
In An Qing’s eyes there was no longer any will to survive.
They were physically strong and had come prepared, so there was no way the police could save the hostages…
Therefore, she feared she would become the first person the thugs killed, using it as a threat to make the police obediently gather the ten million in ransom!
“Cops, this is the price for your stalling.
I’ll count to three, and this woman’s head will bloom!”
The thug said viciously and started to count…
“One, two…”
All the cops felt helpless, with no way to save the flight attendant under these circumstances.
Everyone closed their eyes, waiting for the thug to count to “three,” but after a long while, the word “three” was not heard.
“Whoosh!”
A coin flew precisely between An Qing’s legs, punching a hole through her skirt without harming her at all; however, it was a different story for the thug behind her, as the coin struck exactly where he had something unlike An Qing.
His jewels shattered like a watermelon…
“Aaaah!”……………
In response to the cry, a person rushed forward and swiftly arrived at the entrance of the airplane.
An Qing only felt a strong force, and following its momentum, she was swiftly taken off the plane and landed where the police were gathered.
About 0.1 seconds later, a figure suddenly darted into the cabin.
“Who’s there!?”
Since everything happened so abruptly, the thugs hadn’t realized the danger approaching, and all of them looked toward the entrance of the plane.
Not only had their companion been taken down, but a skilled fighter had also broken into the plane!
“I’m here to kill you all!”
This shadowy figure was, of course, Ye Tian!……………………….
From taking down the thug at the door of the plane to entering the cabin, Ye Tian took less than a second.
The thugs, seeing a formidable expert had come, did not dare to take him lightly and all focused on the direction of the cabin entrance.
“Bang!”
A thug used a concealed weapon, aiming at Ye Tian.
The hostages screamed because the cabin was extremely narrow, and using a hidden weapon could easily result in fatalities.
But such a weapon posed no threat to Ye Tian; he simply reached out his hand, and the flying dagger was caught in his grasp.
Instead of discarding it, Ye Tian threw it back, and the thug who had ambushed him was struck in the forehead and died on the spot.
In an instant, two thugs had been killed, and the remaining ones certainly didn’t dare to take it easy.
Among the thugs was another gunman, who locked onto Ye Tian with his gun and fired!
The power of the gun was immense, and firing from such a close range, it was impossible for the enemy to avoid.
But the thug was mistaken because although his aim was true, his target moved with incredible speed, rendering even close-range gunfire ineffective.
Dodging the bullet, Ye Tian flicked his hand, and a coin shot out, effortlessly killing the only sniper among the thugs…
“Don’t panic!
It’s just one man!”
The leader of the thugs shouted, but having three companions taken down so easily, the others were somewhat in disarray.
