Glasses Manâs tone was filled with a lighthearted mood as he adjusted his glasses and smiled at the cabin door, âEven if you manage to control the helicopter, itâs useless. The fuel inside was only enough to get here in the first place. If you donât believe me, you can force them to take off. But if you crash and get shattered, donât blame us for not warning you beforehand.â
Hearing this, Mu Chen paused, a trace of anger flashing on his face, âSuch calculated schemes! How deep is this grudge? Wait⦠This has nothing to do with me, right?â
âItâs a huge grudge,â Ling Mo replied calmly. In the face of immense interests, these little tricks are nothingâ¦
âShould I go out and clarify? Can you provide me with some proof?â Mu Chen asked, frustrated.
âYouâre just an instructor helping me lead the team. They shouldnât make things difficult for youâ¦â Ling Mo said, rubbing his temples.
âDamn it! Following you brings me nothing but bad luck!â Mu Chen exclaimed in exasperation. He drew his knife and said angrily, âIf they make a move, I wonât be polite! But captain, do you know what is really going on here?â
âMore or lessâ¦â
As he spoke, Ling Mo looked towards the cockpit again, and Xia Na, as if receiving a signal, suddenly walked over with a sly smile and pressed down hard on Li Yalinâs wrist. Her action appeared forceful, with no warning beforehand. Witnessing this, even Mu Chen couldnât help but feel a chill, not to mention the pilot.
At this moment, that delicate hand seemed like a relentless hammer about to come down, ready to crush his skull. This kind of death was terrifying. Even though he was mentally prepared for various situations, he never expected something so horrifying.
The pilot almost instinctively shouted, âNo! Donât kill me! Please, donât kill me!â
âHeheâ¦â Xia Naâs palm stopped steadily just two centimeters away from her Senior Sister. She licked her lips, then turned her head to look at the Co-pilot. The Co-pilot, who had been expressionless, was now as pale as a sheet, with even his lips twitching involuntarily.
âNo⦠please donâtâ¦â the Co-pilot muttered nervously.
âIt seems neither of you wants to die⦠Alright then, which one of you is going to tell me how much fuel is left?â Xia Na asked with a cheerful grin.
âI⦠Iâll tell you!â
âIâll tell tooâ¦â
A few seconds later, Xia Na suddenly straightened up. She glanced back at Ling Mo and nodded with certainty.
âSo itâs trueâ¦â Ling Mo thought, his expression uncertain.
From outside, Glasses Man shouted again, âLing Mo, are you still not coming out?⦠I get it, you want to take those two people as hostages? If thatâs the case, I advise you to come out quickly⦠Wake up to reality sooner rather than later, donât waste our time. Thereâs no need to be overly afraid; we chose this method to be more peaceful, right? But if you insist on not cooperatingâ¦â
âThis sure is a peaceful scene,â a sarcastic voice suddenly interrupted him.
Glasses Man was momentarily stunned, then a forced smile appeared on his face as he brazenly looked at Ling Mo, who appeared at the cabin door, âYou must be Ling Mo? Haha⦠I suggest you leave those two Pilots aloneâ¦â
In response to his gaze, Ling Mo simply raised an eyebrow before jumping to the ground.
The moment he moved, the people around him immediately pointed their guns, and Glasses Manâs pupils slightly narrowed.
Luo Ming instinctively took a step back, especially when Ling Moâs gaze swept over him, stirring memories of similar situations he had encountered before. There was something strange in this manâs eyes, making it difficult to control oneâs emotionsâ¦
And at this moment, the emotion Luo Ming was feeling, originally meant to be excitement, inexplicably mixed with a trace of anxietyâ¦
âAnd who are you?â Ling Mo asked bluntly.
He didnât spare Glasses Man even a glance as he turned his attention to the surroundingsâ¦
A trace of anger appeared in Glasses Manâs eyes, and his laughter gradually faded. His tone became more sinister, âYouâre nothing but a trapped fish yet so arrogant. Do you even realize how many guns are pointed at you right now? The moment I give the order, youâll be riddled with bulletsâ¦â
Seeing that Ling Mo seemed unfazed, Glasses Man sneered, then suddenly said, âAre you looking for the other helicopter? Donât worry, theyâre just circling above this town. Weâve investigated and know youâve taken down Air Force Corps planes before. We donât know what clever trick you used, but this time, you definitely wonât have any chance⦠Have your people come out and surrender quietly, or else your companions will share your fateâ¦ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
As he spoke, Glasses Manâs sneer gradually disappeared again. He expected to see panic and fear on Ling Moâs face, but instead, Ling Mo just stared at him as if he were an idiot. This made him both angry and uncomfortable.
Why is this man so calm? With guns pointing at him and his companions hovering above, why isnât he even slightly affected? Has he calculated that the camp wouldnât kill him, so he acts indifferent? Or does he have some other plan?
âHehe, I advise you to stop scheming. The camp has gone to great lengths for you, which is quite an acknowledgment⦠Iâve heard you were just a survivor working for us before⦠You handed over the Air Force Corps because you couldnât handle them, and now weâre just making you surrender completelyâ¦â
Glasses Man continued, knowing that there were several others in the cabin, but capturing Ling Mo would render the others irrelevant.
âSetting a trap to catch me and then using me to coerce Yuwen Xuan-is that what you call respect? If I were really working for you, why complicate things so much? With your capabilities, couldnât you just crush me with a flick of your finger? As for handing over⦠I didnât give anything to you; I gave it to Yuwen Xuan, understand?â Ling Mo said, speechless.
For those blinded by greed, having a good excuse is not the most important thing-the result is all that matters. Even if they spout robberâs logic, they can do so with conviction and even a clear conscience. Ling Mo hadnât expected such thinking to become mainstream in Falcon so quickly.
âThat Su Qianrou⦠What exactly did she promiseâ¦â Ling Mo couldnât help but sigh.
âSurvival of the fittest, thatâs a natural law. Youâre still too youngâ¦â Glasses Man increasingly felt that something was off. He suddenly frowned and asked, âYou knew all along? How did you know?â
As soon as he asked the question, Luo Ming also looked up nervously. He suddenly understood the source of his anxietyâ¦
âWhen they came to pick me up, I already knew,â Ling Mo smiled and said, âBut at first, it was just a feeling. It wasnât until the plane arrived here that I was completely certain. The Co-pilot deliberately made a hand gesture and emphasized the phrase âready.â At the time, I thought it was some kind of action code, but now I know it was about the other helicopter.â He looked at Glasses Man again, âYour psychic power is impressive, hiding so many people and concealing any issues. But I simply refused to get off the plane, and you started to get anxiousâ¦â
Glasses Man grunted in annoyance but then smiled again, âEven if you have sharp observation skills, so what? Youâre still here, arenât you?â He gestured to his men, saying, âBring everyone down, and tie this man up! Ling Mo, whether or not you interpreted the signal correctly, this matter is already settledâ¦â
âHehâ¦â Ling Mo chuckled and shook his head. Almost simultaneously, the roar of an engine approached the areaâ¦
