Official Career Storm Chapter 540

Mayor Jiang’s thoughts were suddenly interrupted by a ssage notification on his phone.

He opened the ssage, a string of unfamiliar nas: Yang Qingquan, Hu Youquan, and Yang Tie... had escaped.

The long list dazzled Mayor Jiang.

It wasn’t until he read the last sentence that he suddenly awoke.

He imdiately tried to call back the unfamiliar number, but no one answered.

"Mayor Jiang, the plane has really been hijacked!"

Director Qin’s voice rang out, making Jiang Yuan feel extrely irritable.

In just a few tens of seconds, one thing after another happened.

He lacked experience in handling such situations. Although not completely at a loss, he found it difficult to think of a solution in such a short ti.

He had thought this operation was foolproof, but then this unexpected incident occurred.

"Get all the Standing Committee mbers here imdiately."

Having uttered this command, he walked out of his office.

Pairs of eyes all turned towards him.

Bewildered, perplexed, in disbelief.

The news that Yao Jinsheng had hijacked the plane sounded as ridiculous as if soone had told them that aliens had landed.

"Director Liang."

"Mayor Jiang."

Liang Jianfeng approached, his expression grave.

He was one of the few who reacted first.

After a brief mont of astonishnt, he confird one thing: Yao Jinsheng and Chen Guanyun had fled.

Today was their day of escape.

Although it was unclear why they chose the outrageous act of hijacking a plane, the fact remained a fact.

Their job was not to explore the reasons behind these two n’s actions but to resolve the issue.

"Get in touch with Journalist Lin and set up a video call. Bring the video up on the large screen."

"Okay."

Liang Jianfeng grabbed his phone and contacted Lin Wanqiu privately: "Miss Lin, I’ll video call you; please mute your end."

"Okay," Lin Wanqiu responded, still shocked but not panicked.

Hijacking a plane was certainly outrageous; ninety-nine percent of people would never encounter such an event in their lifetis.

But after all, she was a journalist with the Ministry of Propaganda; her courage and perspective were not comparable to ordinary people. After the initial shock, she had already cald down.

She knew that the city leaders needed to know what was happening on the plane at that mont, and she put her phone on mute and connected with Liang Jianfeng via video.

Liang Jianfeng held his phone, connecting it to the conference room’s large screen.

Jiang Yuan said, "Li Jun, Jin Rong..."

He nad a few individuals: "Co to the office."

The n called felt imnse pressure as they entered the office.

Entering the office ant that they had to take responsibility for this incident.

But that was unavoidable.

After all, joining the command team was originally for earning rits.

It wasn’t possible for them to face no responsibility now that sothing had gone wrong.

In the office, everyone watched the screen.

Lin Wanqiu was sitting in her seat, her phone in her shirt pocket at chest height, the cara facing forward, providing a clear view of the current situation in the business class.

Song Guanchao, Secretary Sun, and Fu Ying were sitting side by side; Chen Guanyun was sitting behind them, with Lu Xiaotian’s underling next to him.

Yao Jinsheng was not in his seat, nor captured in the fra.

Overall, business class didn’t look chaotic at all, only a few passengers had expressions of fear on their faces.

...

Song Guanchao had been quietly sitting in his seat, feigning sleep.

During this, Yao Jinsheng and Chen Guanyun got up and went to the restroom.

Then, he heard a stewardess cry out in panic.

When he looked towards the noise, he saw only the frantic figure of the stewardess; nothing else.

A few minutes later, the stewardess ca over, her voice trembling as she told them that Yao Jinsheng had hijacked the plane.

Upon hearing this, Song Guanchao’s reaction was the sa as everyone else’s.

Disbelief, absurdity.

The flight attendant’s reaction was genuine.

His first reaction was to look for Chen Guanyun and Yao Jinsheng, but unfortunately, he couldn’t find them.

In the office, Jiang Yuan asked, "Where are Yao Jinsheng and Chen Guanyun now?"

Liang Jianfeng, in contact with Fu Ying, looked up, "They are in the cockpit."

Jiang Yuan’s heart sank, "Why would he be in the cockpit?"

He traveled frequently and had flown many tis; he understood aircraft structures better than most.

The cockpit door is very heavy and can’t be opened from the outside.

The most crucial aspect of hijacking a plane is to take control of the cockpit and the pilot.

Without control, even if he had a gun, it would all be in vain if the pilot didn’t comply with his demands.

Liang Jianfeng said, "They rushed in when the pilot went to the restroom."

Jiang Yuan’s face darkened as he continued, "Why was he able to bring a gun onto the plane?"

Liang Jianfeng explained, "He is the Public Security Bureau Chief, and it’s permissible for him to carry a gun when escorting a prisoner; he had already made an application in advance."

"..." Jiang Yuan wanted desperately to curse out loud but restrained himself.

"What are their demands now?"

"We don’t know yet, nothing has been communicated."

At that mont, in Lin Wanqiu’s video feed, suddenly the pilot’s voice rang out, "Dear passengers, our plane has been hijacked."

This statent was abrupt, and the economy class passengers couldn’t react imdiately.

The pilot continued, "Next, our destination will be changed from Qu City to Tokyo, Japan, with an estimated flight ti of three hours and seventeen minutes. Please do not panic; we have enough fuel for the journey, and the hijackers do not intend to harm anyone. Please cooperate fully."

After a brief silence, various screams erupted from the economy class as a fearful atmosphere began to spread.

The crew mbers continuously soothed passengers over the intercom, reassuring them that the hijackers wouldn’t harm anyone, and they simply wanted to divert the plane to Japan.

Back in the office, everyone felt profoundly dejected.

They indeed planned to flee.

And their thod was even more ruthless than Hou Wen’s.

While Hou Wen rely chose an international flight, they had outright hijacked the plane.

In such a situation, even air traffic control couldn’t make them land.

After all, the plane was filled with hundreds of passengers held hostage.

If not handled properly, the potential disaster was unimaginable.

Jiang Yuan was painfully aware that if this situation was mishandled, his career as Deputy Mayor was over.

He had always kept a low profile, quietly remaining in the shadows, avoiding contention.

He had passed up several opportunities to move up to the provincial level.

He thought he could continue smoothly until retirent.

Yet, he hadn’t anticipated an incident like this.

But he found no one to bla.

This wasn’t a setup; it was a complete accident.

An accident no one could foresee.

This should have been a good opportunity for him to shine.

He never expected such an accident.

He felt desolate, without even a thought of salvage.

It wasn’t that he didn’t want to salvage the situation, but it was beyond salvage.

The hijackers had guns and had taken control of the cockpit and the pilot.

Yao Jinsheng’s gun was probably now aid at the pilot’s forehead.

The plane would land in Tokyo in three hours and seventeen minutes.

There would be no mishaps during that ti.

No one could stop them.

Though the escape plan was crazy, it was perfect.

At that mont, in the command team’s group chat, soone suddenly sent a ssage.

But no one felt up to checking it; everyone in the Police Departnt was in low spirits.

Yet the ssage kept popping up.

The vibration of the phone, or the notification sounds, incessantly filled the air.

Li Jun picked it up and glanced at it; his eyes widened, his breathing quick and excited, "Mayor Jiang, you need to see this ssage in the group!"

Jiang Yuan grabbed his phone, his pupils slightly contracting.

It was from Song Guanchao; he had sent a ssage, "Mayor Jiang, do you need us to subdue Yao Jinsheng and Chen Guanyun?"
