Chapter 748: Chapter 0749: Hijacking [First Update]

When the personal bodyguard beside Cao Ling started to get nervous, Ye Qiu quickly calmed down again. Zhou Wenting had encountered gunfire in Europe before, and she had heard the gunshots too.

Zhou Wenting tugged at Ye Qiu’s hand, and Ye Qiu looked at her to provide comfort.

"It’s okay, I’m here," he said.

Before long, Ye Qiu suddenly saw several mixed-race men, three men and two women, coming from the business class behind them, all armed with guns, including two holding AK47s.

Ye Qiu was surprised. He wondered how this group had managed to get handguns through the checks and onto the plane; it would definitely have been impossible without inside help.

"Everyone, do not worry, the plane is not going directly to Huaxia. Instead, it is headed to Africa first!"

The middle-aged mixed-race man leading the group said in fluent English.

Clearly, from his words, everyone understood the plane was being hijacked.

The plane was now not heading directly to Jinling in Huaxia, but was veering toward Africa.

Besides Cao Ling and Ye Qiu, the expressions of the other passengers had changed, recognizing the peril of a hijacking just like facing an air disaster. Over the years, most hijackings had ended with the plane exploding and either falling into the sea or crashing somewhere.

"Nothing will happen to us, rest assured, as long as the French government agrees to one thing!"

The middle-aged man continued.

Zhou Wenting was nestled in Ye Qiu’s arms, now refusing to even look at the hijackers.

The hijackers dispersed to guard the plane, clearly having control over the entire aircraft, including the cockpit, first class, business class, and economy class.

As for who exactly was shot earlier when the gunmen opened fire, it was still unknown.

"Ye Qiu, what should we do?"

Zhou Wenting asked quietly.

Actually, diverting to Africa wasn’t much of a concern for Zhou Wenting; she was worried about potential complications that might arise.

...

Louise looked at the fashion designs Ye Qiu had given her, growing fonder of them by the minute, feeling they were worth no less than a million Euros.

She couldn’t believe Ye Qiu had just given them to her.

Thinking back to the moment Ye Qiu hugged her goodbye, Louise felt a sweet sensation in her heart.

Louise was now preparing to take a high-speed train back to Marseille, having spent about half a month with Ye Qiu and Zhou Wenting. Although her family’s hospital didn’t limit her working hours, this time she mainly stayed with Ye Qiu for religious and spiritual reasons.

After Louise bought her high-speed train ticket and boarded the train to Marseille, about two and a half hours later, someone next to her suddenly exclaimed.

They were watching the news, which was reporting the situation of a French airline plane being hijacked!

The plane was hijacked?

Louise initially didn’t pay much attention; although it was a major event, it didn’t concern her.

But she quickly thought of Ye Qiu and Zhou Wenting, who were also flying back to Huaxia. Unsure whether they were safe, Louise checked the flight number and to her shock, it was the same flight Ye Qiu and Zhou Wenting were on!

What a coincidence!

Could Ye Qiu be in danger?

Louise immediately became worried.

She hadn’t been concerned just moments ago, but now for some reason, Louise felt extremely nervous and pulled out her phone to call Zhou Wenting.

Zhou Wenting’s phone was unreachable; it was probably in airplane mode on the plane, making it impossible to connect.

Louise didn’t expect that now, with Ye Qiu and Zhou Wenting on that plane, what if something happened?

"The group demands that the French government meet their terms before they might allow the plane to return safely to France. Otherwise, the plane is now headed toward Africa, and they may use the hostages to threaten the French government."

The passengers around Louise, having seen the news, appeared very shocked.

...

Ye Qiu and the other passengers watched as the hijackers walked around the plane with their guns. If any passenger dared to move, they risked being hit.

Now, some passengers were so terrified they couldn’t even bring themselves to use the plane’s restroom.

Zhou Wenting clung tightly to Ye Qiu’s arm. If it weren’t for Ye Qiu being there, she might also have been scared.

As for Cao Ling, the elder Cao, and the bodyguard, it seemed that their identities hadn’t yet been recognized by the hijackers.

This time, Elder Cao had come to France for medical treatment, keeping a much lower profile, bringing only the bodyguard.

The plane had likely deviated from its original route, heading toward the Mediterranean and then on to Africa, no longer able to go directly to Jinling.

Ye Qiu hadn’t expected that just when he wanted to return home early, he would encounter such unlucky events.

Should he intervene?

If it had been in the past, Ye Qiu might have ignored such an incident, as long as it didn’t affect his loved ones or friends. But now, with the hijacking unfolding, he didn’t know what might happen. If the plane went to Africa, it would definitely cause significant delays.

However, at that moment, a man and a woman approached where Elder Cao was sitting.

"Old gentleman, please come with us!"

Upon hearing this, Elder Cao’s expression changed slightly, then he said, "I assure you with my status that as long as the other passengers are unharmed, you will be as well."

"However, we need more than that,"

the man leading them said.

Cao Ling quickly intervened, "Don’t touch my grandfather!"

"Young lady, move again and don’t blame me for firing,"

the man said coldly.
