Chapter 393: Chapter 393: In the Face of Death, Everyone Is Equal

Mr. Clown, dashing and suave, but as intangible as a dream.

Xiao Zheng, you’ve taken advantage of this princess and don’t want to be responsible, you’re a bastard.

Hmm, compared to that, Mr. Clown seems more reliable.

In the very back seat.

Leng Ruobing pretended to sleep, what others couldn’t see was the changing colors on her face, filled with conflict.

Suddenly, the plane shook violently, and the passengers all screamed in alarm.

A deep voice came through the speakers, "Hello everyone, welcome aboard the flight of death, our lovely captain has been taken under our control."

"Hmm?"

Xiao Zheng’s pupils constricted sharply, his senses heightened to the extreme, but due to the noisy crowd, he couldn’t catch any clues.

Flight of death? The captain taken under control?

It seemed that the plane had been hijacked.

Both Leng Ruobing and Chu Xiaoran’s eyes were filled with shock, and although they didn’t scream, they couldn’t stop trembling.

Their small hands clung tightly together, providing comfort to each other.

Xiao Zheng reached out his hand and gently patted them, consoling, "Don’t be afraid, I’m here for everything."

Just then, the speaker blared again, the tone carrying a hint of fanaticism.

"This world is doomed to be unfair, but in the face of death, everyone is equal."

The cabin was in chaos.

Xiao Zheng called out quickly to Leng Ruobing, "Get them to quiet down quickly."

When Leng Ruobing heard his words, suddenly she felt a sense of reliability, her emotions gradually calmed, and her expression turned cold.

She lifted her elegant head and yelled at everyone, "Quiet! Everyone quiet down for me!"

Her usual commanding presence was on full display, and as the staff saw Leng Ruobing’s expressionless face, they paled, sat down obediently, fastened their seat belts, and, trembling, closed their eyes, ready to meet their fate.

The cabin fell silent, an eerie kind of silence.

Xiao Zheng listened intently, barely making out some whispers from the cockpit ahead and the sound of frantic footsteps.

"Hmm? Only two people?"

His initial assessment was that there were only two assailants, suggesting that both the captain and the co-pilot had been subdued.

It was clear that the plane was flying very unstably, with tilting and swaying.

Moreover, whether the actual pilot was at the controls was another matter.

If this continued, it might well turn into another MA-flight disaster.

Xiao Zheng stood up, determined to check it out.

However, his arm was grabbed by Chu Xiaoran, who clung to him like a koala, refusing to let go, and behind her, there was "one" Leng Ruobing as well.

"Ah Zheng, don’t go, it’s dangerous!"

"Xiao Ran is right, Xiao Zheng, there are two flight crew security personnel on board, both are retired elite soldiers, they will surely resolve this crisis."

Heh.

Xiao Zheng could only heh, elite soldiers? Their martial prowess wasn’t much more than second-rate pinnacle experts in the jianghu, against these unknown terrorists, they might not be very effective.

With this in mind, he patted Chu Xiaoran’s little face and gave a deep look at Leng Ruobing, who was feigning calmness, offering them a reassuring gaze.

"Xiao Ran, Ruobing, the crew security alone is not enough for this crisis, I must go and see."

After speaking, he pried off Chu Xiaoran’s small hand and walked resolutely forward, without looking back.

Leng Ruobing’s eyes flashed with sudden understanding. The only time she had seen Xiao Zheng being so serious was during that sniper attack incident in Southeast Asia. She fell into deep thought, unable to discern which one was the real Xiao Zheng.

Chu Xiaoran’s eyes brimmed with tears as she watched Xiao Zheng’s figure disappear into the distance, towering like a mountain, appearing so grand.

...

Meanwhile.

At the Dragon Capital aviation dispatch center.

The previously orderly atmosphere was now disrupted as a square-faced middle-aged man looked at the monitor with a somber expression.

He was the director of the dispatch center.

"Xiao Chen, have you made contact with the captain of that plane yet?"

"We’ve been calling, but no one’s responding. The plane has seriously deviated from its scheduled course. Our initial guess is that there’s a malfunction," replied Xiao Chen, a monitor controller, his face pale.

The director nodded, then shook his head and said with a grim face, "It can’t be that simple. Remember, keep calling nonstop. Also, contact the nearby airports to prepare for an emergency landing. And, apply to the air force for the dispatch of fighter jets to assist."

"Yes, Director."

Xiao Chen nodded hastily, arranging his subordinates, then sat at the monitoring console, continuing his calls.

"This is the dispatch center, calling the captain of flight H350, if you receive this, please respond, if you receive this, please respond..."

...

At this moment.

Xiao Zheng had already made it to the cabin crew area where three flight attendants and two male security personnel were discussing strategies like ants on a hot pan, desperate and going around in circles.

This kind of situation was rare, and that’s why they were all somewhat panicked, including Shen Jiayi and the two crew security officers.

Seeing Xiao Zheng come in, the two male security guards were shocked. At such a critical moment, this guy still had the mood to come nosing around; truly, ignorance is fearlessness.

"Passenger, please return to your seat. We are discussing strategies. We believe the problem will be resolved shortly," one of the security personnel said, trying to sound calm. After all, as a retired elite soldier, he still had that tenacity.

Shen Jiayi was pleasantly surprised inside, but it was inappropriate at the moment. With her voice trembling and a bitter smile, she said, "Brother Xiao, you should go back. You can only choose to trust us."

Xiao Zheng gestured dismissively and said to the two male security guards, "My skills are not inferior to yours. Having one more person adds an extra layer of safety."

"This!"

The two crew security guards looked at each other, seeing disbelief in each other’s eyes because they finally recognized Xiao Zheng’s identity—he was the strong man who had beaten up President Zhang and Shangguan Haitang that night.

After pondering for a moment, they nodded heavily.

One security officer said solemnly, "Mr. Xiao, no need for unnecessary words. The current situation is this: The enemy’s number and motives are unclear, and all the criminals are in the cockpit, with the door locked from the inside. For now, all we can do is wait to negotiate with them."

"Oh?"

Xiao Zheng nodded, puzzled, then walked towards the cockpit door, listening intently.

There was an argument inside, and surprisingly, it was quite audible.

"Crabbe, hurry and fly following our designated route, or Laozi will blow your head off with one shot."

"Ouch... Gentlemen, we’re still over Huaxia territory; we could be intercepted by fighter jets any moment. We can’t escape."

"Useless piece of crap, Crabbe, what use are you? Bang! Copilot, you’re up!"

"Captain, are you alright, Captain? Hey, hey, hey, don’t point that at me. I’ll obey, alright? Ah, I’m still on probation."

"..."

The sudden sound of a gunshot was heard not only by Xiao Zheng but by the five crew security officers as well.

Turning around, Xiao Zheng swallowed and said calmly, "Based on my guess, there are two criminals, and the captain is injured. Given the situation, we can’t wait for negotiation. We need to force them to show their hand."

"But then, wouldn’t the captain and copilot be in danger?"

Shen Jiayi furrowed her brows, her body shrinking back, anxiously responding.
