Hijacking (Part 2)

Killing had long since become a numb experience for Ye Qian, who had seen nearly a thousand people die by his hand. As the leader of the Wolf Fang Mercenary Corps, the legendary and mythical Wolf King Ye Qian was renowned throughout the mercenary world. When Wolf Fang was first established, it consisted of only ten people and was insignificant in the mercenary circles. However, after Ye Qian took over as the team leader three years ago, Wolf Fang's influence expanded rapidly, making it a prominent force in the mercenary world.

A battle a year ago decisively dismantled the once-dominant Blood Leopard mercenary group, propelling Wolf Fang to the pinnacle of the international mercenary world.

To Ye Qian, these hijackers were nothing more than small-time criminals unworthy of his concern. This return to his homeland was intended to be a peaceful one, a chance to reconnect with lost memories. However, the presence of these hijackers forced his hand. Given his profile, his information was already in the security archives of various countries.

After swiftly dealing with two hijackers, Ye Qian leapt up, seized a gun from the hijacker beside him, and fired a shot. The bullet hit its mark squarely in the hijacker's forehead as he turned. The gunshot caused chaos in the cabin, with passengers screaming in terror.

Ignoring the panicked passengers, Ye Qian got up and walked towards the cockpit. There was still one hijacker left to deal with. If not taken care of quickly, the consequences could be dire, especially since the hijacker was armed with an AK-47 and possibly carrying explosives. Provoking him could result in a catastrophic crash.

"Calm them down, I'll handle the cockpit," Ye Qian instructed the flight attendant, heading towards the cockpit. As he passed the leader's body, he retrieved his blood-red knife, Xuelang, which remained unstained despite its use.

Peering into the cockpit, Ye Qian saw the short hijacker relaxing on a sofa with a drink, unaware of the events in the cabin. The middle-aged man in a white suit, presumably the pilot, was explaining, "We can't turn back now; there's not enough fuel to return."

The short hijacker ignored the explanation, demanding a change of course to Thailand or Vietnam. "We can't just enter their airspace; they might shoot us down," the pilot protested, facing the reality of potentially being mistaken for an enemy aircraft.

"Do as I say or I'll kill you," the hijacker threatened, growing impatient and pressing the gun against the pilot's chest.

Realizing he had no choice, the pilot began communication procedures, hoping for a safe landing in another country. Meanwhile, the hijacker, satisfied with the pilot's compliance, resumed his seat.

At that moment, Ye Qian burst into the cockpit. The hijacker instinctively turned, but before he could fire, a flash of red light from Ye Qian's knife ended his life instantly.

Killing was second nature to Ye Qian, who had been trained from a young age to incapacitate opponents instantly. This skill was a mandatory lesson for all members of the Wolf Fang organization.

Retrieving his knife, Ye Qian placed the hijacker's gun on the table and addressed the pilot, "The other hijackers have been dealt with. Have someone clean up and take care of the guns."

The pilot, shaken but grateful, responded, "Thank you. If not for you, the passengers and crew might have faced an unimaginable fate. May I ask your name? Once we land, we need you to come to the police station and recount what happened."

Ye Qian frowned, wary of attracting attention from the national security bureau. Sensing his hesitation, the pilot reassured him, "It's just a formality. Plus, you deserve recognition for your bravery."

"No need, thanks," Ye Qian declined, not wanting the publicity. At the door, he added, "Your security personnel dealt with the hijackers."

The pilot, understanding the situation, agreed to take credit, which could benefit his career.

Shortly after, the plane landed safely at Shanghai Pudong International Airport. Ye Qian disembarked, carrying his worn military bag, and quietly exited the airport to avoid the awaiting reporters and police. Once the pilot emerged, reporters bombarded him with questions, to which he calmly explained the situation without mentioning Ye Qian, crediting the security personnel for subduing the hijackers.
