Chapter 1330 - 1329
Chapter 1330 - 1329
The plane flying from Hong Kong to British London, after more than six hours of flight, had already traveled half the journey, long departing from Huaxia territory and entering Russian airspace, edging close to Eastern Europe.At this moment, the plane was flying above a mountain range, overlooking a vast expanse of towering mountains, extending endlessly, all uninhabited.
The group had long calculated the timing and location; they wanted the plane to be destroyed in this area. Even if a rescue was attempted, it would be extremely difficult, and if there were any survivors, they would not survive.
According to the plan, the plane would decrease in altitude, crashing into one of the mountains in the range, and in a massive explosion, the plane would be shattered into pieces with no survivors onboard.
The person they wanted dead would also die along with it and would never reach London.
It can be said that to ensure this person’s death, those people had gone mad enough to bury all others on the plane along with him.
Who exactly is this person, and why are those people so desperate to kill him at all costs?
These questions, Lin Fan currently has no answers to.
"Captain, may I have a word?" Lin Fan turned to the captain.
The captain, still shaken by fear, nodded.
Lin Fan turned his head towards the burly man: "You, come help me tie these two up?"
This burly man was the one who previously wanted to hit Lin Fan, yet Lin Fan now asked him for assistance.
Lin Fan didn’t care whether he agreed or not and walked away with the captain.
Once aside, Lin Fan asked, "The gun the criminals used was hidden in the bathroom beforehand. In your opinion, who would have done this?"
The captain sternly replied, "Do you mean there’s a mole at the airport?"
Lin Fan nodded.
The captain pondered, "The airport security is very strict, even we staff have to undergo rigorous checks before boarding. It’s impossible for someone unless it’s a flight attendant, but a flight attendant can only carry one gun. Unless this mole is in higher management!"
Lin Fan said, "Yes, if it is someone in higher management, the person orchestrating this must have extraordinary connections; this is likely far from over."
The captain exclaimed, "Are there more criminals on the plane?"
Lin Fan said, "There’s that possibility, Captain. You don’t need to worry about what’s next. Just head back to the cockpit and fly normally. Also, don’t report this yet to avoid alerting them, temporarily cut off external communications, can you do that?"
The captain said, "I can. By the way, I still don’t know your name?"
Lin Fan said, "My surname is Lin."
The captain said, "Mr. Lin, I really appreciate you earlier and will continue relying on you!"
Lin Fan smiled, "You can thank me more after we land safely. Let’s not talk further, I’ll escort you back."
Lin Fan escorted the captain back to the cockpit; watching the door close, Lin Fan then returned to the economy class cabin.
By this time, in the economy class cabin, passengers were chattering, and the entire cabin was in an uproar.
"What exactly happened? Why did they hijack the plane?"
"Are you saying we almost died just now?"
"I was scared to death; I’ll never dare to fly again!"
"The key now is to figure out why!"
"I’m most afraid there’ll be more accidents!"
"Exactly, it’s only halfway, should we land as soon as possible somewhere?"
The crowd was noisy; panic filled the cabin; everyone was anxious, worried the plane might have more problems.
Lin Fan walked in, and the crowd quieted down, focusing on Lin Fan. Earlier, Lin Fan saved them, gaining their respect, and everyone was eager to hear Lin Fan’s views.
The burly man approached with semi-fluent Huaxia language, "These two guys, I’ve tied them up."
Pointing out, indeed, the two criminals were bound hand and foot securely.
If the burly man wanted to hit Lin Fan before, after seeing Lin Fan deal with the criminals firsthand, he hadn’t entertained the thought again.
He was fearful, and at the restroom entrance, had the attendant Little Yi not stopped him, he would have been the unlucky one. At the time, he thought the attendant saved Lin Fan, now knowing she saved him.
Thus, when Lin Fan asked him to do something, he dared not refuse and willingly complied; he was happy to help. His previous plans to attack the criminals hadn’t materialized due to fear, but Lin Fan showed remarkable courage.
"Thank you." Lin Fan smiled.
Lin Fan went over, ready to take the criminals away.
"Wait!"
A young Caucasian man from the first-class cabin called out to Lin Fan: "You seem to know what’s happening, could you explain to everyone?"
"Yes, what’s going on?"
"We’re all quite uneasy."
"Are we safe now?"
The crowd echoed.
Lin Fan said, "I don’t know much myself."
The young Caucasian man said, "Then what you said to the criminals, that the plane would be destroyed because of you, what does it mean?"
Lin Fan said, "I made it up; it was meant to confuse them, don’t take it seriously."
The young Caucasian man disbelieved: "Really? It didn’t seem like you were making it up; who exactly are you?"
Lin Fan said, "Me? Just a passenger, like you all. Do you truly believe they were going to destroy the whole plane to kill one person and bury everyone along? If it were true, what groundbreaking things did that person do to anger someone important in the UK? Do I look like such a person?"
The young Caucasian man: "..."
Lin Fan smiled, "We all know these criminals hijacked the plane not for money; their motive requires asking them."
"Are we safe now?" someone asked.
Lin Fan said, "These two criminals are neutralized; currently, it’s safe. Everyone, return to your seats, restore order; no need to worry; I’ll figure out what’s going on."
Having said that, Lin Fan hoisted the two criminals, turned, and left.
Arriving at the surveillance room, Lin Fan placed the criminals on the ground and went to the surveillance front.
"Any discoveries?" Lin Fan asked Chen Long.
Apparently, Lin Fan left to rescue, subdue the criminals, and speak with the crowd with Chen Long and flight attendants monitoring the process, looking for anomalies among the crowd.
Though the two criminals were subdued, Chen Long’s target hadn’t been found, and the fear lingered that more criminals were aboard!
Chen Long said, "We’ve marked some individuals..."
Chen Long explained the marked individuals’ situations to Lin Fan and showed surveillance footage.
Lin Fan said, "Ignore them for now; let’s interrogate these three and see if we can extract anything. Continue monitoring here; I’ll interrogate them."
Chen Long stood up, "I’ll go with you."
Lin Fan replied, "Alright."
They took the two criminals, along with the previously caught man, to the lounge.
"Young man, I’d like to speak with you before interrogating them." Chen Long sternly stated upon entering the lounge.
