Chapter 293: Taken Hostage

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

“Minako, you don’t look well today.”

The flight attendants passed through security and headed for the VH*** flight ahead of time. This was a Boeing 782, a large plane, flying from Singapore to Tokyo, Japan.

Shino Shibuya leaned toward Minako and smiled. “I’m guessing it’s related to that Meng Fan-kun, right? I think I saw him from the guest list.” She took another step closer. “Minako, did Meng Fan-kun go to Tokyo because of you? Did you guys already plan to go somewhere?”

Minako Sakurai’s face immediately flushed red. “Shino, don’t say that.”

Shino lowered her voice. “Meng Fan-kun seems very strong, though.”

Minako’s face flushed even redder. She hurriedly left the conversation and went to work.

At the same time, she was watching the time.

“The cargo must be finished loading soon!”

Minako Sakurai was very nervous. As the time neared, she became more and more anxious. In the end, some minor mistakes were made during her preparation.

“Minako, just focus on your work. You can think about your Meng Fan-kun when you arrive in Tokyo…”

Shino Shibuya corrected Minako’s error as she teased her.

“Thank you, Shino!”

Minako Sakurai thought that Shinobu was a relatively great person, aside from that…

Finally, Minako Sakurai received the OK from the loading crew that the cargo in the front of the cabin had been secured and loaded. She immediately headed to the washroom to pass on the information.

…

After entering the lobby, Meng Fan immediately scoped out Alec Lall. From his appearance, he seemed to be of Malaysian or Indonesian descent. He had an average build and looked to be harmless. However, because of Meng Fan’s excellent Observational skills, he could visibly see the strong muscles hidden under his loose clothes and the subtle trace of menace in his eyes.

Some things just couldn’t be hidden!

Especially under a very watchful eye.

Meng Fan was still very cautious. When he had trained with Lao Hei, he had frequently scouted for information. He knew that there were people in this world that had distinct five senses, and sometimes even a sixth one. Some people could even perceive that they were being watched. If he kept looking at Alec Lall, it was likely he’d be discovered.

Meng Fan pulled out an apple from the bag he carried with him but continued to monitor his phone. He didn’t broadcast the live stream onto his phone; he was really watching his virtual screen instead.

Aside from this, Meng Fan also tried to scope out the other two hijackers. It turned out that he was really able to find a suspicious person with his Observational skills. It was an individual who looked fierce but a little dumb.

As Meng Fan was watching him, this person had been glancing towards Alec Lall several times. Meng Fan could even see Alec Lall cautioning him with a glare.

With that, Meng Fan could confirm that this was another one of the hijackers.

Meng Fan wasn’t able to find the other two, though.

Unfortunately, this stupid man didn’t try to ‘find’ the others like he did with Alec Lall. If so, Meng Fan would have been able to find all the targets.

After throwing out his finished apple in the garbage, Meng Fan continued to monitor his phone. In his other hand, he began to play with two coins.

A bag of fruit and twenty or so coins was the arsenal of weapons that Meng Fan had prepared.

…

Three minutes after Minako Sakurai sent out the message, the inspection vehicle for the cargo appeared on its last routine near the aircraft. At the same time, two groups of airport patrol also approached. Each group consisted of two soldiers and a policeman.

The inspection vehicles parked in the loading zone, and two police officers descended from the car in addition to the inspectors.

The supervisor, Abdul Nak, was about to approach and greet the inspectors, but creased his brows as he saw the two policemen. He maintained his composure, but when he saw two police officers walk towards him from both sides, his demeanor changed.

“Don’t move!”

He had wanted to scramble, but the police officers had drawn their guns!

“Everyone be quiet!”

In the loading area, a team of ten people had appeared, controlling everyone in the area.

The inspectors entered the front cabin of the aircraft and found a box with the corresponding item code. They opened the box, expressions solemn.

Immediately, he reported to the superior through a walkie talkie. “We’ve discovered disassembled firearms in the cargo!”

“Strike!”

The two airport patrol officers boarded the flight and gestured for everyone to be quiet. He then touched the door of the cockpit and entered. As soon as they were inside, they immediately captured Shouta Takashimaya, while also taking control over everyone inside the aircraft at the time.

…

There was a voice broadcast signaling boarding already, and soon, a long line had formed at the designated gate.

“They’re still allowing regular boarding?”

Meng Fan saw the news and felt unsettled.

He had already heard the commotion from the black magic microphone attached to Minako Sakurai, and he could confirm that Takashimaya had been 100% caught.

At this time… Meng Fan thought for a moment. As far as the airport was concerned, the most important task was to ensure passenger safety. What if the best way to protect the passengers was to keep them from knowing that there were hijackers?

It was impossible that they would send police or soldiers directly into the lobby to arrest people.

They also couldn’t determine how many hijackers or which individuals were the criminals. This kind of behavior would be very dangerous. Plus, there were way too many people in the departure hall, and it was a large space, too. Even if they found a target, it would cause a mess. It would also give the criminal an opportunity to seize hostages.

Therefore, after confirming that the hijacker was on this flight, the next best idea to ensure the safety of all the passengers aboard was to filter everyone from the departure hall into the gates. It meant that fewer people needed to be monitored and made it easier for any police forces in pursuit.

Instead of boarding immediately after entering the gate, they exited the building and boarded a shuttle bus instead.

Meng Fan remembered that it had been a direct boarding gate before his incident. This time, the change must have been related to the safety concerns.

After reaching the aircraft on the shuttle bus, all the passengers departed and headed towards the plane. When the first person was a dozen or so steps from the plane, a team of policemen with live ammunition rushed out of the plane. At the same time, a team of officers also appeared from the rear side of the plane.

Another group of police officers pulled up from where the shuttle bus was parked.

They had encircled all three sides of the passengers suddenly, making them feel too terrified to even pee!

What was going on?!

The sudden change stunned Meng Fan.

Suddenly, a warning was issued. “We are the airport security staff affiliated with the Singapore Police Force. Everyone, please kneel and cooperate with the inspection! Do not try to do anything unusual, otherwise it will be considered a threat to public safety!”

However, before he could finish the sentence, a person from the crowd immediately grabbed a little girl nearby and clutched her in his arms. A sharp aluminum pocket knife made from a soda can appeared in his hand, and it was pressed directly against her neck!

Immediately, the crowd began to descend into chaos before anyone could kneel down.

At this time, the guy Meng Fan had regarded as stupid had grabbed onto a small old man, firmly pressing a sharp pointed wooden nail against his neck!

“We can’t scatter!”

Meng Fan wanted to curse these people and their mothers. He didn’t expect the hijackers to be this rampant, nor did he expect them to have weapons at their disposal!

Meng Fan did not have much faith in the Southeast Asian police force from the beginning, including Singapore as well, even if its airport has been rated the safest airport by the American media!

He warned himself to stay calm and kept his eyes focused on Alec Lall.

At this moment, Alec Lall turned around and a sharp aluminum sheet knife appeared in his hands, pointed at Meng Fan’s neck. Meng Fan wanted to fight back but resisted the urge.

“Don’t move if you want to live!”

As soon as he heard Alec’s words, Meng Fan came to a realization. You are the dumb one!

Although he was the closest hostage to him, Alec Lall was no match for Meng Fan in terms of body size.

The person that Meng Fan had thought to be the most dangerous man had actually chose to capture himself as a hostage!

He thought about the stupid thief who had tried to rob him in public transit in Hangzhou. He couldn’t help but smirk. Was this Alec Lall also taunted by his strong presence?

Meng Fan immediately felt relief after he’d been captured as a hostage.

Originally, he was worried that the police would mistake him as a thief amid the chaos and fire at him. But now, he could rest assured.
