The plane successfully took off, flying into the night sky, carrying the astonishnt and anger of countless people from Japan, as well as Luo Zheng's anxiety and hope. Ten minutes later, the airborne plane hadn't been attacked, but fighter jets appeared, a situation imdiately discovered by Lan Xing. Upon learning of this, Luo Zheng sneered coldly and quickly instructed Ghost Hand to demand that the Japan Governnt withdraw the fighter jets or they would stop releasing the hostages.
Under pressure, the Japan Governnt had no choice but to withdraw the fighter jets. Luo Zheng continued to release the hostages, anwhile, five more planes took off. Of these, three were empty, with only one special operations team mber supervising the two pilots to create confusion. Only two planes carried hostages.
The hostages continued to be released, and everyone kept evacuating. Each batch had five planes, three empty, and two real. Unknowingly, more than half of the people left, leaving only over a thousand in the hall. At this ti, Luo Zheng had Ghost Hand bring Shijing Kong over. Shijing Kong was very curious why Luo Zheng was looking for him at this mont.
Luo Zheng received Shijing Kong in a lounge. Lan Xue, worried that Shijing Kong might act rashly, stood guard nearby, holding Shijing Kong's grandson in her arms. Luo Zheng sized up Shijing Kong, feeling a surge of emotion. Fate had played a cruel joke. Once mortal enemies, they had now beco partners in cooperation.
"Why are you looking for ? Are you planning to go back on your word?" Shijing Kong asked coldly.
"If I were planning to go back on my word, would I need to et you at all?" Luo Zheng retorted coldly. "I've planted a lot of explosives at this airport, along with aviation fuel, enough to level this place. But I need your cooperation."
"I have nothing to lose but my life, and I'm not sentintal. As long as you keep your promise, just tell what you need to do. Is it to cover your retreat?" Shijing Kong asked coldly.
"It's always easy talking to smart people. I'll be the last to evacuate. Your grandson will be with . After we leave, I need you to hold here for an hour. After that hour, whether you escape or go down with the airport, it's up to you. Of course, before the explosion, you can slowly release hostages to confuse those outside and buy ti. How about it?" Luo Zheng said seriously.
"Do I have a choice? If I don't cooperate, you'll be attacked by missiles, and my grandson will be dead. I have no choice. You indeed have a good plan. I'll cover your retreat and delay an hour, which is enough for you to evacuate. I don't know your specific retreat plan. The Japan Air Force is not to be underestimated. I'll just ask you one thing: are you sure you can get away?" Shijing Kong asked earnestly, his eyes sharp, staring at Luo Zheng as if trying to see through him.
Luo Zheng looked at Shijing Kong, nodding without hesitation. "That's not your concern. As long as you delay for an hour, I have a ninety percent chance of getting away. If you don't hold that hour, the hostages would be evacuated, and the Japan Governnt, with no worries, would surely attack us with missiles. You know the consequences."
"Okay, I agree with you." Shijing Kong saw that Luo Zheng wasn't lying to him and indeed had a backup plan, though what it was remained unknown and unasked. He agreed with a slight pause.
"From now on, the hostages will no longer be released. Your people will take over." Luo Zheng said seriously.
"Alright, I'll organize people." Shijing Kong agreed and turned to leave.
As Shijing Kong walked out, Lan Xue worriedly asked, "Is this person reliable?"
"Not reliable, but he has to cooperate for the sake of his grandson. He has no choice." Luo Zheng said seriously, glancing at Lan Xue, and continued through the earpiece, "Continue the evacuation."
"Yes!" everyone replied in a low voice as the team continued to evacuate. Soon, five more planes took off.
Not long after, Shijing Kong brought his n over, all dressed in Ninja clothes. The hostages didn't know who had co and didn't care. Shijing Kong, with about thirty people left, discreetly took over the hall's supervision tasks. Ghost Hand and Mountain Eagle's n also quickly evacuated, boarding a plane and taking off.
Shijing Kong found Luo Zheng and personally watched as Luo Zheng carried his grandson aboard. Before parting, Shijing Kong looked at his grandson earnestly, then at Luo Zheng, bowing solemnly and saying, "No matter how much hatred there was before, now, as an old man, I earnestly appeal to you, please."
"Rest assured, I swear on my honor as a soldier to keep my word," Luo Zheng said solemnly, swearing to ensure Shijing Kong covers their retreat and for the safety of his comrades.
Shijing Kong was stunned, finally relieved. A soldier's honor is more precious than life, and no one would swear on it lightly. Shijing Kong believed Luo Zheng, nodding gratefully and turning to leave. Just a few steps away, Luo Zheng's voice called from behind, making Shijing Kong stop with curiosity, looking back at Luo Zheng.
"Rember, it's for one hour. After an hour, I'll call you. Tell your number, and I'll give you a way out." Luo Zheng said seriously.
"A way out? There's a way out?" Shijing Kong looked at Luo Zheng in astonishnt, associating it with Luo Zheng's near-genius wisdom, feeling a bit hopeful. Who wouldn't want to live if possible? Shijing Kong recited a string of numbers, without words of thanks, just solemnly bowing, carrying complicated emotions, and turning away.
Soon, Luo Zheng boarded a plane soaring into the night sky. Four other planes took off in succession, three of which were empty, covering the evacuation of all. The planes soon reached high altitude, and everyone sat silently, waiting. It was uncertain whether they would escape safely, depending on whether Shijing Kong truly cooperated.
Ten minutes later, there were no fighter jets, no missiles, and everyone secretly breathed a sigh of relief, their tense expressions easing a bit. Half an hour later, still no attack; everyone knew they were more than halfway to success and showed a knowing smile. Luo Zheng glanced back at the passengers sitting in the economy class and whispered to Lan Xue, "It seems we have a great chance of escaping safely."
"Perhaps." Lan Xue whispered, "Lan Xing, what's the situation?"
"The planes that took off earlier have all flown away from the Capital City and are about to enter the offshore direction. According to the plan, they will scatter and rendezvous at the predetermined coordinates in half an hour. Everything is smooth, just waiting for you. Welco ho, our great heroes," Lan Xing's voice ca through the earpiece.
"What's the status in the Capital City direction?" Luo Zheng asked in a low voice.
"The airport is gradually releasing people, one hundred at a ti. The Japan Governnt doesn't know everyone has evacuated, even if they did, there's nothing they can do. They underestimated sister-in-law and were completely outmatched by her. Sister-in-law, the higher-ups closely monitor this issue, worried about the failure of your plan. Hong ihua has been called in, with all the pressure for your success, but fortunately, everything went smoothly," Lan Xing said cheerfully.
"Tell the higher-ups, it's success or martyrdom," Luo Zheng said, his eyes flashing with resolute brilliance.
