The bomb-wielding man seemed unconcerned about these issues. He shouted, "I don't care about that! I want you to jump out of the plane! Jump out now, or I'll detonate it and we'll all die together!"
The bomber was extremely agitated, his hands trembling. The invisible man had already revealed his location, and if he suddenly disappeared, it would definitely alert the enemy. If they were to die together, his safety would be fine, but the safety of all the passengers on the plane would be at risk.
"Okay, okay, I'll jump, I'll jump, is that alright? Please don't get excited. If you need people, we'll bring them to you right away. If you need money, just designate the account and we'll transfer it to you, okay?" The invisible man had to calm the bomb man down, and sure enough, the bomb man relaxed a bit after hearing his words.
"Jump now or I'll detonate!"
The invisible man walked out, moving very slowly and quietly, trying to buy time. If Zhao Qiang could come to help, there might be a chance to subdue the bomb man.
Sure enough, Zhao Qiang arrived after finishing up his business there and taking another look at the cockpit. However, Zhao Qiang had already seen through the economy class cabin, so he didn't show himself. Instead, he hid in the shadows outside the cabin door. As the invisible man stepped out of the cabin door, Zhao Qiang's figure flashed out. "Did you mess this up?"
The invisible man said with dissatisfaction, "Don't gloat. I'll jump out of the plane in a bit. You hold him off, and I'll come back and subdue him after I become invisible."
Zhao Qiang nodded. He knew the situation inside. Although he was fast, it was impossible to snatch the remote control before the bomber released his fingers. The only hope was to sneak up to the bomber and launch a close-range attack.
The bomber didn't remain in economy class. He followed the invisible man out, though the distance between them was considerable. When the invisible man reached the cabin door, the bomber stepped out. He immediately spotted Zhao Qiang crouching by the door, mistaking him for the passenger who had squeezed out earlier. He dropped the child he was carrying, pulled a pistol from his pocket, and pressed it against Zhao Qiang's forehead. "Take me to the cockpit."
The bomber had thought things through clearly. Staying in economy class made it easy to hide, but it would be very dangerous if he were exposed. Only by controlling the cockpit could he control the plane. He didn't know what was happening in the cockpit at the moment, but he had to go to the cockpit to contact the outside world. In fact, he was more afraid that the plane would land at this moment. If it landed, he would be doomed. So going to the cockpit was inevitable.
Zhao Qiang led the way, and the bomb-wielding man said to the invisible man, "Hurry up and jump, or I'll detonate it."
The invisible man had no choice but to go to the cabin door. Actually, the altitude was already quite low at this point, and there wasn't such a huge pressure difference between the inside and outside when he opened the door. However, if he lost his balance, he would still be sucked in. The invisible man relaxed his body and fell outwards, and just like that, he floated out of the cabin door and disappeared from the bomb man's sight.
The bomber pointed a gun at Zhao Qiang and yelled, "Close the hatch! Close the hatch now!"
Zhao Qiang dawdled until someone subtly tugged at his foot, and then the pulling sensation disappeared. Only then did Zhao Qiang forcefully pull the hatch shut, then pretend to be exhausted and slump to the ground, saying, "Please don't kill me! I'll do anything you want. I'm still young, and I haven't enjoyed life enough yet."
The bomber kicked Zhao Qiang: "Get up, get up!" He needed someone to open the cockpit door, and having a hostage nearby would also make him safer. The bomber held a gun in one hand and the detonator in the other; his hands were trembling, not necessarily from fear, but perhaps from excitement.
Zhao Qiang vaguely felt a breeze brush past him. He had a premonition that the invisible man was about to make his move. This was not in economy class, and there was no one else around, making it easier to avoid the chaos. Moreover, if the bomb-wielding man got into the cockpit, it was uncertain whether Yang Shiqi could control the situation. Therefore, he had to take action.
The bomb-wielding man sensed something amiss in an instant; an ominous atmosphere seemed to permeate the surroundings. However, the time was too short for him to react. Because the area was empty, he didn't know how to defend himself. Suddenly, he felt a sharp pain in his wrist and saw the hand holding the remote detonator suspended in mid-air. The bomb-wielding man froze, then screamed in agony as he clutched his severed wrist with his other hand.
Zhao Qiang also made his move, a sharp blade shooting from his wrist and slicing across the bomb-wielding man's neck, decapitating him. Then, Zhao Qiang retracted his hand, and the weapon vanished. The bomb-wielding man, his body strapped with explosives, collapsed to the ground with a thud. At this point, there was no way he could even scream; he was utterly dead.
The invisible man revealed himself and carefully took the detonator, which was still clutched in his hand. Zhao Qiang said, "Be careful. This body can't be dealt with for now. I'm going to take control of the plane; we're about to land."
At this point, the passengers in economy class started making a fuss again. Some people still wanted to run out of the cabin. I don't know what their mentality was. Even if they ran out, they still had nowhere to go. And the more critical issue is that if they encountered the invisible man, once that switch was released, the whole plane would be doomed.
Zhao Qiang shouted, "Go back and sit down!" but no one paid him any attention.
At this moment, Zhao Ling and Chen Xinxin rushed over from first class. Fortunately, they had super equipment and could always be of some help. Zhao Ling kicked quickly and knocked down the two men running in the front. The kick hit the groin area, which is the best vital spot for a woman to attack a man. The two men screamed and fell to the ground clutching their groins, which blocked the people behind them.
Zhao Ling said to Zhao Qiang, "Go to the cockpit, we'll handle things here."
Zhao Qiang had no time to dawdle. He turned around and entered the cockpit. Although Yang Shiqi had control of the pilot, it would be very troublesome if the pilot caused trouble in the middle of the flight. Even if Yang Shiqi could easily take him down, she couldn't operate without the pilot. Even though she had heard Zhao Qiang teach her some piloting techniques, there was no time to put them into practice.
After taking control of the cockpit, Yang Shiqi's first thought was to land the plane. Otherwise, hovering in the air, neither touching the ground nor the sky, could pose a constant danger. Yang Shiqi pointed a gun at the pilot's head and shouted, "Land! Land now!"
The pilot gritted his teeth but didn't operate the controls, saying, "You wouldn't dare kill me. If you kill me, no one will be able to fly the plane."
Yang Shiqi sneered: "You really think you're something special. There are plenty of people up here who can fly."
The pilot said, "Nonsense! We know everything about everyone on board. There's no pilot at all."
Yang Shiqi pointed the gun barrel at the pilot's head, somewhat annoyed. "Stop talking nonsense, land immediately."
The pilot gritted his teeth and began to pull the plane up, preparing to enter high altitude to avoid the area which was already under air traffic control. Anyway, he had the hostage in his hands, and he could ask the government to send Arikun to a designated location later.
Bang! Yang Shiqi fired again. She couldn't give in to the hijackers, otherwise the situation would become even more uncontrollable. The bullet pierced the pilot's shoulder, penetrating his body and striking the cabin wall. With a crack, a leaking hole appeared, and a sharp whistling sound filled the air. The plane tilted to one side out of control, but the pilot quickly regained control of the aircraft. He was pale and bleeding.
"Fine, since you're going to do this, let's all die together." The pilot pressed the nose down, and the plane suddenly swooped down towards the terminal building.
"Pull it up! Pull it up now!" Yang Shiqi shouted. She pressed the gun barrel hard against the pilot, hoping to instill fear in him and steer the plane back on track. But the pilot was determined and ignored her, even increasing the speed of the impact. This collision would definitely cause a huge explosion, which would not only kill the passengers on board, but also affect the people waiting in the terminal.
Yang Shiqi's face was pale. Several times she thought of shooting the pilot dead, but even if she killed him, she would lose control of the plane. In that instant, the plane dived even faster, and the buildings on the ground could be clearly seen through the glass.
Yang Shiqi's hands trembled with nervousness. She screamed and fired a shot that finally killed the pilot. The pilot's body was pressed against the control panel. The plane shook a few times and accelerated again. Yang Shiqi hurriedly moved the body away and then sat in the cockpit. But faced with rows of buttons, Yang Shiqi had no clue what to do.
Bang! Someone kicked open the cockpit door. Yang Shiqi turned around and said, "Zhao Qiang, hurry up, you take the pilot's position. We're going to crash into the terminal."
Zhao Qiang had obviously noticed the abnormal flight path of the plane; otherwise, he wouldn't have been in such a hurry. Yang Shiqi jumped up from the cockpit, and Zhao Qiang plopped down in. Actually, it was Zhao Qiang's first time touching such a thing; the chances of encountering a commercial airliner were relatively low. However, Zhao Qiang had read extensively and had a thorough understanding of this type of aircraft. Even if it broke down, Zhao Qiang was confident he could bring it back to life, let alone pilot it.
At this moment, almost everyone sensed something was wrong with the plane. Someone opened a window, and the massive terminal building loomed before them. All the passengers were terrified, screams erupting everywhere.
Zhao Qiang pulled the plane up with all his might. He had actually done precise calculations. The plane should be able to skim over the roof of the terminal building. Otherwise, Zhao Qiang would have carried Yang Shiqi back to the first class cabin immediately, and then pulled Chen Xinxin and the other two to jump off the plane. As for the others, Zhao Qiang didn't care. But since he had the opportunity to save them, Zhao Qiang didn't mind being a hero.

The consequences of a plane flying at low altitude are terrifying. People in the terminal witnessed a huge plane flying overhead, as if it were about to crash into them. Screams and panicked footsteps filled the air. Then, nearby windows shattered into pieces. Everyone covered their ears tightly, thinking that the end of the world had come. Thinking that they could not escape their fate, some people even burst into tears.
Having narrowly escaped danger, Zhao Qiang breathed a sigh of relief. The aircraft quickly pulled up, then made a turn, and then contacted ground control. Although the staff in the command center were still shaken, they cheered loudly after learning that the plane was safe. Everyone immediately took action, clearing a safe runway for CN757. For safety reasons, fully armed police surrounded the runway at a distance, and police cars patrolled the area to prevent any further accidents after landing.
"You're a hero again." Yang Shiqi chuckled coquettishly. Only in front of Zhao Qiang could she be so womanly, a performance that displeased the invisible man. He glared at Yang Shiqi, and she glared back at him, saying, "Why are you looking at me like that?"
The invisible man said discontentedly, "Am I not a hero? Is he the only one you see?"
Yang Shiqi said, "Why are you jealous? No matter how amazing you are, I don't like you."
"You..." The invisible man was furious. He turned around and opened the cabin door, jumping away. Zhao Qiang was dumbfounded. He said, "Why did you make him leave? What am I going to do now? I should have stayed on the ground. If I appear on the plane, it will cause a sensation. I don't want to become the focus of everyone's attention. I might even be mistaken for a hijacker."
Yang Shiqi said, "Why is he dissatisfied with me? I don't even know him. So what if he can turn invisible? We can develop our own invisibility equipment later. As for those police officers down there, I doubt they'll dare to touch you."
Zhao Ling said to Zhao Qiang, "When the police come up, hide first, and then slip away when they're not paying attention. Don't cause any trouble."
Zhao Qiang said, "That's the only way. Everyone, take your positions and keep an eye on the situation inside the cabin to prevent any further trouble."
Zhao Qiang landed the plane smoothly, and the passengers in the cabin cheered with tears in their eyes. Who wouldn't cherish their own life? As long as they had a chance to live, they would do anything.
The police quickly surrounded the plane, and then entered the cabin in groups. Zhao Qiang found a place to hide and slipped away through a hole in the cabin wall when no one was looking. He had to get back to the lounge. Tong Qiu, Zhang Chun, and the others were still waiting. If he just disappeared like this, they would not only have objections, but they might also connect it to Fei Sheng's matter. Although the government would definitely keep the hijacking a secret, there were no secrets for the Four Young Masters.
Zhao Qiang returned from the restroom clutching his stomach. The four young masters were chatting animatedly with Yang Shiyun, as if Fei Sheng's situation didn't exist. Of course, they knew nothing about Fei Sheng's affairs, so they couldn't possibly be nervous.
"Zhao Qiang, are you out of diarrhea?" Liu Xia asked with a hint of disdain.
Zhao Qiang stroked his lower abdomen and said, "Is it probably all better now? Has the plane landed yet? Is there still time to go and greet it?"
Zhang Chun said, "Who are you going to greet? Chen Xinyu had to go home for some urgent business, didn't you know that? You don't even know the people on the plane, you're going to greet them? Are you kidding me? Who knows who you are?" With Chen Xinyu not around, these people wouldn't treat Zhao Qiang as a guest. Although Yang Shiyun had toasted Zhao Qiang, she was silent now, clearly not going to help him. So why wouldn't these young masters take the opportunity to put Zhao Qiang down?
Zhao Qiang touched his nose, looking a little embarrassed. He said, "Now that I'm here, it wouldn't be right for you not to let me go and greet you."
Yang Shiyun interrupted everyone's discussion: "Let's go, people are getting off the plane, it'll make the scene bigger, right?"
So Zhao Qiang became the one to hold things together. If it weren't for Su Xiaosu and the other girls insisting that he pick them up at the airport, Zhao Qiang probably would have turned around and left. However, Zhao Qiang felt it wasn't worth it to be angry with the Four Young Masters, so he cheerfully followed along.
A major hijacking incident occurred. Originally, Yang Shiqi and others who participated in the rescue were to be investigated. However, given Yang Shiqi's status, how could the police dare not release her? They didn't even take her statement and directly took Su Xiaosu and Zhao Ling off the plane. A few young men and women were standing at the airport exit. They had heard rumors that Su Xiaosu might arrive in the next two days, so they went to the airport to wait. Unexpectedly, they actually saw Su Xiaosu walk out in a dashing manner.
Zhao Qiang stood quietly behind everyone, feeling proud as he listened to the cheers of the fans. He was the one who created Su Xiaosu's initial songs, several advertising ideas, and even the movie currently being filmed. This was all because the super biochip combined current human psychological preferences and was sure to make Su Xiaosu's singing and performances move most people. It was just a pity that Xiao Wei was nowhere to be found. Otherwise, if she had created special effects videos for Su Xiaosu, making a world-class blockbuster would not have been a dream.
There were few people at the scene, and the area had been cleared beforehand, so although the shouts were loud, they weren't chaotic. Yang Shiqi led the way, followed by Chen Xinxin, Zhao Ling, and Su Xiaosu. Tong Qiu had already driven the car over. Yang Shiyun stood at the very front, watching her younger sister approach without any unusual expression. It was Yang Shiqi who, however, rushed over shouting, "Second Sister!"
Yang Shiyun hugged Yang Shiqi, looking like a couple deeply in love embracing. Since Yang Shiqi was still dressed as a man, fortunately, Tong Qiu and the others knew the truth, so they had no other thoughts.
"Qiqi, how are you? You weren't in danger just now, were you?" Yang Shiyun asked.
Yang Shiqi said, "What danger could there be? They were just a bunch of small fry. We took care of them easily. Let's not leave again after we go back to China. I feel really bored without you at home."
Yang Shiyun said, "I'm not leaving. I'll follow you around from now on."
Yang Shiqi laughed and said, "That's great! As long as you come with me, there are lots of fun things to do."
Tong Qiu stepped forward and shook Su Xiaosu's hand: "Welcome, Su Xiaosu, the big star."
Su Xiaosu blushed. "Mr. Tong, you flatter me. I'm just a little girl, not some big star."
Liu Xia said, "You can't belittle yourself. You're a superstar now, and who are these two?" Although the Four Young Masters are very prestigious in Beijing, they can't just meet Chen Xinxin and Zhao Ling from the South whenever they want.
Su Xiaosu enthusiastically introduced them to everyone: "These are my good friends Zhao Ling and Chen Xinxin. You should know a little about their identities even if I don't tell you. They're household names in the South." Saying they're household names is a bit of an exaggeration, but there aren't many people in the Southern business community who don't know these two young, beautiful, and powerful women.
Tong Qiu and the others had been doubting the two women's identities, and now that it had been confirmed, the four of them quickly stepped forward to get to know the two women again. Lingdong Entertainment was currently thriving, and Bafang Chemical Group had even occupied the northern market. Neither of them were ordinary people.
Tong Qiu squeezed Chen Xinxin's hand briefly and then quickly let go, as a matter of politeness, even though he really wanted to continue. Chen Xinxin was slightly plump, which made her skin appear extremely fair. Coupled with her voluptuous figure and baby face, she would arouse any man's desire upon seeing her. Even if you were a saint, you couldn't possibly be without any thoughts.
"Ms. Chen has developed Bafang Chemical Group into a nationwide enterprise in a short period of time, and is even expanding to the world. It is truly admirable," Tong Qiu said sincerely.
Chen Xinxin said, "Young Master Tong, you flatter me. It's all thanks to everyone for giving me face. Otherwise, how could Bafang Chemical Group have risen so quickly? This trip to Beijing is also to investigate the market. We may shift our focus to the north next, and we will need Young Master Tong and others' strong support then."
Tong Qiu patted his chest and said, "No problem, we also eagerly hope to have the opportunity to work with Miss Chen."
Liu Xia, Tian Mengfan, Zhang Chun, and others chimed in, "Yes, especially with Bafang Chemical Group's specialty plastics. We really need to secure a large number of orders. If possible, it would be best to establish a branch factory in Beijing to save on transportation costs." Specialty plastics are mainly handled by Zhang Wenjing and Li Jingjing, a tactic Zhao Qiang uses to win over the Chen family in the south. These specialty plastics are already being used in tank armor and the aerospace industry, playing a crucial role.
Yang Shiyun glanced at her watch: "It's getting late. Shall we find a place to sit down and talk some more?"
Tong Qiu slapped his forehead: "Right, right, look at me, I even forgot the occasion when talking about such a promising topic. Come on, we've already booked a hotel, let's treat these four beautiful ladies to a welcome dinner."
Yang Shiqi called out to Tong Qiu from behind, "What are you doing hiding in the back? Aren't you going to help with the luggage?"
Tong Qiu, puzzled, pointed to himself and said, "Young Master Yang, are you talking about me?"
Yang Shiqi pushed Tong Qiu aside: "How could I trouble you, Young Master Tong, to carry my luggage? Look at him, if there were a mouse hole, he'd probably crawl into it." After saying that, Yang Shiqi giggled. She was a beauty herself, but now she was acting very effeminate, which made Zhang Chun and Tian Mengfan stare in disbelief. Everyone turned around to look, but there was no one else behind Tong Qiu except Zhao Qiang.
Zhao Qiang scratched his head awkwardly. Although he was sometimes high-profile, he still didn't like being stared at with such astonished looks. In fact, the four women's luggage wasn't heavy; each of them was dragging a suitcase like a flight attendant's. Unlike other celebrities who had to be accompanied by nannies and managers, they didn't have much luggage, but they still wanted Zhao Qiang to help them. It was a kind of happiness for them.
Zhao Qiang stepped forward, took the suitcase from Yang Shiqi, then from Chen Xinxin, and then from Zhao Ling. He was already quite exhausted from carrying three suitcases. When he went to take Su Xiaosu's, Su Xiaosu said, "I'll help you." As she spoke, she tried to snatch the third suitcase from Zhao Qiang's hands, but Zhao Ling stopped her, saying, "Let him carry them all. It won't tire him out."
Su Xiaosu always felt insecure in front of these girls, especially since Zhao Ling was her boss, so she could only let go and leave Zhao Qiang to his own devices. Zhao Qiang was dragging four suitcases and could barely walk.
Tong Qiu and the others were greatly surprised. "What, are you very familiar with Zhao Qiang?"
Yang Shiqi tilted her head and said, "Him? Wasn't he the one you called to help carry the luggage? We don't know him." After saying that, Yang Shiqi giggled. It was obviously a joke, but since Yang Shiqi said she didn't know him, it wouldn't be appropriate for Tong Qiu and the others to ask any further questions. At this point, they could only get in the car and go to the hotel first.

【585】Rude person
Yang Shiyun drove herself, and Yang Shiqi naturally wanted to ride in her sister's car. However, none of the other three girls wanted to ride in the Four Young Masters' car. They could leave their luggage with them, but they wanted to stay in Yang Shiyun's car.
After putting down his suitcase, Zhao Qiang realized he had nowhere to sit. He didn't want to ride in the same car as Zhang Chun and the others. Chen Xinyu had come with him, but he had already sent her home.
Yang Shiqi waved from the car: "Come on over, squeeze in and we can sit somewhere."
Zhao Qiang was sweating profusely: "Isn't that a bad idea? You're already fully loaded."
Yang Shiqi said, "There's absolutely no problem with four people sitting in the back. Are you coming up or not? If you're not coming up, we're leaving."
Liu Xia said to Zhao Qiang, "Don't even think about it. You're dreaming if you want to squeeze into a car with three girls."
