Ye Chen's conversation with the gang leader left Qin Lan completely confused, making Ye Chen seem endlessly mysterious in her eyes!
"He's dead!"
"You killed him?" Qin Lan was still somewhat uncertain.
"You killed him!" Ye Chen said.
"What?" Qin Lan was bewildered.
The fierce battle between Ye Chen and the criminal happened in an instant, not until the gang leader was dead did the hostages realize the criminal had been struck, and they screamed and ran.
Seeing the reaction of the hostages, the police were sure that a fierce fight had happened inside the bank. With no hostages in the way, Li Shan immediately dispatched forces to encircle them.
The only surviving driver, Gui, was also subdued by the Flying Tigers Squad.
"Qin Lan, are you all right!"
Li Shan, at the forefront, finally felt relieved when he saw Qin Lan unharmed standing in the lobby of the bank.
"I'm fine, Mr. Li!" Qin Lan responded.
However, her demeanor was noticeably vacant, as if something had shocked her deeply.
"Did you do all this?" Li Shan asked uncertainly, looking around at the mess.
"Someone else did it."
"Where are they?"
"He left!"
Indeed, seeing the police launching a large-scale dragnet, Ye Chen didn't want to reveal his identity or attract trouble, so he left Qin Lan behind and walked briskly, blending into the crowd and drifting away.
...
Three days later, at Longcheng Airport, a large screen was broadcasting current news.
"The major robbery at Longcheng Bank has caused a huge sensation in society."
"However, following this event, the notorious Dongjiang Eight Tigers were completely annihilated, which shocked the community."
"Longcheng Ninth Branch played a crucial role in this operation, particularly outstanding were Li Shan, Qin Lan, and others. These comrades made significant contributions to social harmony and were commended by their superiors..."
Ye Chen, standing under the screen, turned and walked into the departure hall after listening to this segment of the broadcast.
He was going to board the plane in an hour.
These past few days, Ye Chen had been moving in darkness, settling in a secluded place to practice deeply. He had consumed a Strength God Elixir, and within a few days, his skills had greatly improved, and his aura had become even more transcendent.
He knew the police were looking for him, but even if they found him, it would just be to assist in the investigation, to understand the situation, to make a record, and the like.
This time, Ye Chen's actions were very measured; apart from the gang leader who he had killed, the rest had only lost their ability to fight and were not fatally wounded—something that female officer could completely testify to.
However, even if the mayor of Longcheng was to offer him a Good Citizen Award, he didn't have time to accept it; he was heading to Hong Kong, Macao, and Taiwan.
Over these days, by eavesdropping and observing, Ye Chen finally learned the whereabouts of Liu Shihua.
As a superstar and the fiery young diva, Liu Shihua's movements, as a public figure, were not too difficult to track down.
Ye Chen was about to fly to Hong Kong where Liu Shihua was shooting a new movie, and naturally, Zhang Xinlan had also settled there.
However, while searching online for Liu Shihua's whereabouts, Ye Chen unexpectedly discovered the scandal of Zhang Xinlan with a wealthy businessman from Hong Kong, which made him anxious.
"Zhang Xinlan, you can't escape!" Ye Chen boarded the plane, ready for the battle.
Being on a plane is always tedious and dull, especially for someone preoccupied with worries. Ye Chen lay back in his seat and slowly drifted to sleep.
He didn't know how long it had been when Ye Chen, in a blur, heard a noise.
In fact, Ye Chen always slept lightly, to prevent any unexpected occurrences.
Having become a Martial Arts Grandmaster, Ye Chen's genes had evolved to an almost perfect level, endowing him with superhero-like abilities.
With keen senses and constant vigilance, even during rest, this was a habit Ye Chen had developed during his years in the military.
Moments ago, while half-awake, Ye Chen faintly heard some commotion—a woman's crying, a man's scolding—but soon these noises vanished, and he didn't pay much attention to it.
However, suddenly, those noisy sounds erupted again, causing an inexplicable tremor in Ye Chen's heart.
"It's a hijacking, a hijacking! Someone is hijacking the plane!"
At that moment, a flight attendant came into the cabin, her body trembling, her expression panicked, nearly at the point of breaking down.
Ye Chen was shocked, opening his eyes wide, a sharp expression in his gaze.
"There are criminals, lots of criminals, mixed into the plane, and they have guns, they're robbing the plane!" cried the flight attendant again.
"What!" The passengers in the cabin instantly panicked.
"Really, there really are criminals. They are about a dozen people, all armed heavily! They are infamous outlaws, currently overtaking the cockpit, intending to hijack the whole plane!"
"Oh my God!"
"No way!"
The passengers in the cabin, having heard this, all showed looks of shock and began to panic as if disaster were imminent.
Just then, the cabin's intercom came on.
"I am the chief pilot of this flight. I am now broadcasting important news: there are criminals among the passengers who are attempting to hijack this aircraft..."
"These criminals are pirates from the western Pacific Ocean. Their main aim is to hijack this plane, and they will not harm the hostages. We have communicated with the outside world; please try not to panic..."
The pilot of this flight was a woman, whose words were calm and composed, carrying a power to soothe the heart.
However, with criminals ahead and a hijacking underway, even if this female pilot spoke with eloquence, the passengers couldn't listen any further.
"I want to get off the plane, this is just too terrifying..."
"Land the plane now, I want to get off, I want to complain about you all..."
Ignorant people rose up in fury, not caring whether the female pilot could hear them, as they desperately wanted to escape this terrifying place.
"Stop the noise! If anyone makes noise, I'll blow their head off with one shot!"
Just then, four muscular bandits entered the cabin, menacing and threatening with their guns.
None of the four bandits were of Asian descent; three were black, and one was white.
The bandits' language was English, but it was nearly a universal language, so everyone in the cabin could understand.
"Hello, ladies and gentlemen! We are the heralds from the ocean, here to take you to our realm of hope, so please, do not panic," one of the black bandits announced, his tone full of reckless arrogance.
"Hahaha~~!" Upon hearing the black bandit's refined introduction, the other three hijackers burst into laughter.
The passengers in the cabin did not dare to make a sound. With guns pointed at them, they were all terrified of the formidable hijackers and their weapons!
"Before we go to our land, would you please cooperate with us on one thing?"
"Now, right now, hand over all the money you have on you. Don't try any tricks, my bullets don't have eyes!"
"Choose between your money or your life, hand the cash over fast!"
"Hurry!"
The four bandits merely swept their guns over the group of passengers, compelling them into compliance, and they obediently pulled out their money.
Ye Chen sat quietly, leaning back in his seat, silent and still, as if hunting a flood dragon.
In fact, Ye Chen was seriously contemplating an issue!
Three days ago, the major bank robbery, he was forced to get involved.
Today, with maritime robbers hijacking this plane, he was implicated once again.
Could this be a coincidence?
No! This was definitely not a coincidence!
Ye Chen's expression darkened, suspecting that his streak of bad luck might be due to the influence of the Heavenly Destitute Star!
He had intervened to save the Heavenly Destitute Star, which meant he was indirectly affected by the Solitary Star Fate, suffering from its power.
Having thought this, Ye Chen closed his eyes and focused, sensitively feeling for the presence of that sinister force within him.
"Hey, kid, are you faking sleep?" At that moment, the white bandit approached Ye Chen and slapped him. "Quick, hand over all the money and valuable things you have, or I will blow your head off with one shot!"
Ye Chen's eyes, tightly shut until then, suddenly opened, his originally dark pupils now faintly red and transformed into a pair of blood eyes!
"God, what is this!" The white bandit exclaimed in shock upon seeing Ye Chen's blood eyes.
"You're dead!" Ye Chen growled.
Ye Chen struck out with a palm, his dark energy bursting forth and hitting the white bandit directly.
"Pu!"
Without even screaming, the white man spat a mouthful of black blood and fell to the ground, his large frame powerless.
Ye Chen had killed a man, marking the first time he had willfully killed since his military discharge!
Even the other day when he had killed the gang leader, it was more due to excessive force, an unintentional act of violence, but now it was deliberate slaughter!
The white bandit was dead!
Ye Chen's murderous aura did not subside, his momentum relentless. He wanted to kill; only slaughter could quench his fury.
Earlier, upon introspecting, Ye Chen had immediately discovered sinister energy entwining around him, unable to achieve transcendence. His fate seemed inextricably linked with the Heavenly Destitute Star!
Realizing the power of the Destitute Star, Ye Chen quickly understood that his recent misadventures were influenced by the Solitary Star Fate!
One misfortune after another!
"Fuck!"
Ye Chen leapt up, the fallen white bandit alarming the other hijackers who instantly got enraged and began shooting.
"Fuck you!" Ye Chen replied coolly, springing into action like an eagle in the sky.
Despite the cramped space in the cabin, Ye Chen's body seemed boneless, performing unimaginable maneuvers, and unexpectedly reaching the three bandits.
Ye Chen's ghostly arrival threw the three bandits into disarray, but as seasoned hijackers, they knew to shoot.
"Thump! Thump!"
There was no sound of gunfire, but muffled noises followed as two tall black bandits were knocked down by Ye Chen.
The two black bandits were dead, their veins severed, and their internal organs shattered!
Ye Chen attacked like a swift hawk, executing the 'Black Tiger Steals Heart' technique with powerful and fierce punches, instantly killing the two sturdy bandits.
"You!"
The last bandit was terrified, hardly believing the speed and power of the young man in front of him, who had laid his partners on the ground in a blink of an eye.
"Don't move, or you will die!" Ye Chen warned in fluent English.
