An Unexpected Twist!

1051: Chapter 1011: Releasing the Tiger Back to the Mountain?

An Unexpected Twist!

Tang Xiao asked urgently, looking around.

She was afraid that Wu Jie had secretly slipped onto the plane to seek revenge against the kidnappers.

Zheng offered a faint smile and raised his hand to point at an anti-riot command vehicle next to them.

“He’s alone in the vehicle!

He’s probably busy adjusting something, and he’ll be over to see you later!”

Adjusting???

Tang Xiao’s brows knitted tightly in confusion.

“What’s he adjusting?

I’m really puzzled, why would you agree to a hostage exchange?

Isn’t that just freeing the tiger to return to the mountain, creating endless troubles?

Letting that Su Leige escape, how would you continue the investigation and break the case?”

Tang Xiao threw out several rhetorical questions in one breath.

Zheng knew she couldn’t figure it out, but he didn’t want to explain too much, and said lightheartedly with a smile:

“Wait for Jie to come over, he’ll explain everything to you!”

But how could Tang Xiao wait?

“There’s no need for further examination, I’m not seriously injured!”

Tang Xiao tried to get up and leave the vehicle, which put the medical staff beside them in a tight spot.

Zheng waved his hand, and the medical staff immediately stopped their checks and let Tang Xiao out of the car.

Beside the anti-riot command vehicle.

Several armed special agents were scattered around, keeping a vigilant watch.

Even Tang Xiao had to notify Wu Jie first before getting on the vehicle, and only after getting permission could they open the door.

Full of questions, Tang Xiao boarded the vehicle and saw Wu Jie sitting in front of a huge control panel.

This control panel was equipped with multiple liquid crystal displays, showing different images.

Some of these images Tang Xiao could understand.

Like cockpit and cabin surveillance video for the airliner, the integrated avionics system backend interface, radar navigation trajectory dynamics…

After all, she had a pilot’s license.

With just one glance at these screens, she grasped the whole situation of the plane.

One look was enough to know that the large airliner, currently piloted by two pilots and carrying Su Leige and his aides as well as six kidnappers, had taken off from Tianyuan and was heading west.

Flights like this that were leaving the country had to file their flight plans in advance to safely pass through the airspace of other countries.

They were allowed to pass only after reporting, following designated airspaces and altitudes, and keeping transponders on for clear communication throughout the journey.

Without warning, if a plane was to barge into another country’s airspace, it would inevitably alarm the other side and provoke interception by fighters.

A slight mistake could even lead to being mistakenly shot down.

Facing attack, a large, slow-moving civilian airliner with poor maneuverability is utterly defenseless.

With many passengers on board, every incident of an airliner being mistakenly shot down in history has led to severe casualties.

A civilian airliner blown up mid-air by a missile leaves no remains, while those that have emergency landings with injuries sometimes have survivors.

So…

This airliner surely had a filed flight plan, and the current temporary destination was Nabiya on the Jiazhou Continent, not Sangkrei.

But both places are more or less the same, areas of constant conflict and war.

For the two pilots flying this plane, it was as if they were ‘entering the tiger’s mouth’.

Training a pilot is not easy, and buying a large plane that can fly tens of thousands of kilometers is not cheap.

Tang Xiao grew even more curious as to why an ambush wasn’t set up in advance.

Why wasn’t a strong assault launched during the hostage exchange?

Why let these kidnappers take away Su Leige?

However…

Even with doubts, Tang Xiao didn’t interrupt the busy Wu Jie.

After all, on two of the screens, Tang Xiao couldn’t understand the content.

Pulling up a chair, she sat down quietly and watched Wu Jie work.

Wu Jie was busy adjusting.

The most crucial step in the “Hunting Fox” operation was ‘control’.

If they couldn’t accurately control Su Leige and his aide, how could they possibly let them go?

And the tool for achieving ‘control’ wasn’t the Phantom stealthily arranged to follow them, but the Microbial Nanobots Wu Jie had exchanged for in the system’s marketplace using energy points.

These Microbial Nanobots were extremely small, reaching nano-scale, and with the current medical technology of Earth’s human civilization, whether metal detection or blood tests, they were undetectable.

But in fact…

Once injected into the human body, they permeate the bloodstream, travel through arteries, veins, and capillaries, and slowly spread throughout the body, concentrating mainly in the brain.

Just like the legendary ‘gu’ art, it was as if a spell had been cast on Su Leige and his aide, allowing them to carry on with their daily lives unobstructed, while quietly being monitored and eavesdropped on.

In any case.

These Microbial Nanobots turned Su Leige and his aide into mere ‘puppets on strings’.

Though it seemed that the two were comfortably eating and drinking in the plane’s cabin, chatting with the kidnappers.

Yet with just one command from Wu Jie, he could make the Microbial Nanobots wreak havoc inside their bodies, causing unbearable pain, turning them suddenly into vegetables, or even directly causing brain death.

Of course.

You get what you pay for.

Wu Jie wouldn’t just waste the Microbial Nanobots he exchanged for with millions of energy points.

If he really wanted to wipe them out, it would be better to let the Phantom take action, since the kidnappers couldn’t see it anyway.

And the busy adjustments were actually to compensate for a flaw in the Microbial Nanobots.

Due to their tiny size and being hidden within the body, even if they could monitor and eavesdrop to obtain information, their communication range when sending it out was limited.

To be able to dynamically receive and command them in real-time, Wu Jie needed the Aggregated State Combat Robot Phantom to act as a signal relay, assisting with the transmission of signal data.

Once everything was confirmed as normal, Wu Jie stopped his work.

Just as his hands left the keyboard, Tang Xiao couldn’t wait to ask,

“Why let them go?

Why not attack directly?

The chance during the hostage exchange was so good!

To just let them go like this, what’s the difference from releasing a tiger back to its mountain?

You really didn’t need to worry about whether I’d be harmed or not…”

As soon as Tang Xiao started speaking, question after question poured out.

For a moment, Wu Jie thought Chu Yunxuan’s chatterbox mother, Huang Meijuan, had arrived.

As she began to speak, it was like a machine gun firing off—it was incredibly hard to stop.

But Tang Xiao’s relentless and urgent questioning, her demeanor and tone, made Wu Jie feel as though this wasn’t a conversation between husband and wife, but more like a leader interrogating a subordinate.

Perhaps, Tang Xiao didn’t mean anything else by it, she was just used to being a president.

Wu Jie wasn’t annoyed or upset, instead, he calmly watched Tang Xiao, patiently waiting for her to finish her barrage of questions.

And as Tang Xiao spoke, her pace slowed, her volume lowered, until she stopped talking altogether.

“Go on, why did you stop?” Wu Jie teased with a laugh.

Tang Xiao’s lips twitched, her expression a bit wooden.

“I’m sorry, Jie, I…

I got too worked up!”

Wu Jie glanced at the smart ring on Tang Xiao’s finger, asking with a smile:

“I see you don’t seem to be scared at all, are you?”

Tang Xiao gave a sullen smile and glanced at the smart ring on her hand.

“When that fake pregnant woman sprayed the drug at me, I knew I was in danger.

The moment I passed out from the electric shock, I wasn’t overly afraid, because I knew this smart ring would alert you in time!”

“No matter where they took me, I knew you could quickly come to rescue me, but when I came to and the drugs wore off, there was no movement, I guessed you must have had another plan!”

“But I really don’t understand.

Why did you let them go?

Are you aiming to catch a big fish with a long line?”

Wu Jie didn’t want to waste words and sent a string of commands with his keyboard.

Soon, the two screens that Tang Xiao couldn’t understand changed.

They turned into two extremely high-definition ‘surveillance feeds.’

This made Tang Xiao feel as though there were two ultra-high-definition cameras placed right above Su Leige and his assistant’s heads.

But in reality…

From what the cabin surveillance screen showed, there was nothing above the heads of the two.

“Holy crap!

How…

How did you do this?

Did you plant mini cameras on them?”

“They’ve been implanted with foreign objects, and they don’t feel any pain at all?

They can even chat and laugh with their captors?”

Wu Jie explained casually:

“Letting them go was to make use of them, to fully grasp the specifics of the criminal syndicate in order to eradicate them root and branch.”

“If we had launched a surprise attack at the airport or the apartment, sure, I could have rescued you, but how then could we follow the leads and continue the investigation?”

Seeing Tang Xiao ponder for a moment before nodding emphatically, Wu Jie continued:

“I dared to do this because I implanted very advanced microbial nanobots in their bodies, which can lurk inside them and silently complete the surveillance!”

“It seems like I’m letting the tiger return to the mountain, but in fact, I’m using them to understand and grasp the true situation of this crime syndicate, in order to ultimately wipe them out in one fell swoop!

Now, do you have any more questions?”

Wu Jie looked at Tang Xiao with a detached gaze.

“I…”

Tang Xiao bit her red lips gently, her fists clenched tightly.

“Those pregnancy tests I got…

they weren’t bought for nothing, were they?”

Wu Jie nodded without hesitation.

“What?

This…

This can’t be possible!

I clearly felt nauseous and sick when I got up this morning!

And…

my period is late this month!”

Wu Jie chuckled, “In life, many women experience a phantom pregnancy.

Due to their intense desire to conceive, combined with an imbalanced mindset and indeed some physical discomfort, they mistakenly believe they are truly pregnant.”

Tang Xiao hung her head, not daring to ask further.

Previously, in the ambulance nearby, a nurse had already taken her blood for analysis and testing.

Whether poisoned or pregnant…

she would soon find out.

Most crucially…

Wu Jie had said as much, making it obvious that he was still using his unique method of foolproof birth control; for Tang Xiao to get pregnant would have been truly odd.

After pondering for a moment, Tang Xiao moved closer, took Wu Jie’s hand, and said affectionately:

“Jie, once you’re less busy, let’s have a child, okay?

We’re not getting any younger, our parents have been urging us, and there’s nothing to worry about with the family business.

I would be able to concentrate on the pregnancy.”

Upon hearing this, Wu Jie thought to himself.

Initially, it was Tang Xiao who had suggested waiting to get pregnant, not wanting to have a child and enter confinement too early.

Fear of pregnancy hindering her career, affecting her figure and recovery, and after having a child, needing to go through confinement and breastfeed, care for the child – for several years it would be family first.

Returning to the military camp to be War King was out of the question.

And now, for what reason had she suddenly changed her mind about wanting to get pregnant?

Wu Jie didn’t want to ask further and immediately nodded in agreement.

Seeing this, Tang Xiao laughed coyly.

“How many kids should we have?

If we could have twins straight away, how great would that be!”

Wu Jie did not respond, instead focusing on the cockpit surveillance screen, where the hijacker, after removing his headset, tapped the pilot twice and leaned in to whisper something in the pilot’s ear.

Such close ‘whispers’ naturally made it impossible to hear any sound or see the shape of the lips moving, and there was no way to tell what the guy was saying to the pilot.

But soon after their conversation, the pilot put on his headset and notified the navigation tower via radio that they needed to change the flight route to Liuli City.

A change to fly to Liuli City?

For what purpose?

Such a huge intercontinental airliner, carrying hundreds of tons of aviation fuel…

If it suddenly dived from the sky to hit the ground, it would easily rival the explosion of hundreds of heavy bombs, enough to smash a skyscraper or destroy a large building area.

Also, because of the enormous destructive power of planes, whether scheduled flights or chartered ones, they require advance applications and cannot fly at random.

And yet, this large airliner carrying the hijackers wanted to fly to Liuli City, which was entirely unexpected.

What if it were to crash into a building or an institution in Liuli City?

Who could bear the responsibility?

Therefore, the air traffic controller didn’t dare agree and promptly inquired about the reason for the change.

The reply was simple: the hijackers wanted to pick someone up.

At that moment.

Zheng suddenly opened the door and got into the vehicle.

“Damn it!

They’re in cahoots with the Xu family in Liuli City!”
