"Two thousand five hundred meters, the captain can't go any lower!" Liu Mingfeng said worriedly to Tang Lie.

"Crack..." A bolt of lightning streaked across the distant sky, a silver snake, destructive and apocalyptic, cutting through the void, tearing the heavens.

Liu Mingfeng's face turned pale. If this lightning struck in the vicinity of the plane, there would be no chance of survival for the aircraft.

"All or nothing!" Tang Lie gritted his teeth, cursing as he maneuvered the control stick, guiding the plane to descend slowly.

Two thousand meters—

One thousand five hundred meters—

One thousand meters—

The ground below was now clearly visible.

"The captain can't go any lower!" Liu Mingfeng shouted anxiously.

"I know!" Tang Lie yelled, and at that moment, both of their foreheads were drenched in sweat, but they did not relax, staring intently ahead. This was the most perilous moment; a slight misstep could lead to a catastrophic disaster.

Meanwhile, the passengers inside the plane were petrified. They had never experienced anything like this before; perhaps today's ordeal would remain unforgettable for the rest of their lives, or it could even be the day they leave this world altogether.

The crowd below, however, stood in awe, gazing at the low-flying plane. They had never seen a plane fly so low before, feeling both fascinated and intrigued.

Five minutes later, the plane made a safe landing at Ruili Airport.

"Phew—" Tang Lie took a deep breath; he had finally done it.

"We did it, Captain, we made it!" Liu Mingfeng shouted.

"Woo woo—" The piercing sound of sirens blared as more than ten police cars surrounded the plane.

"All passengers stay on the plane and don't move, or you'll be shot on sight!" A voice with a hint of anger came from the loudspeaker, it was Xiang Rong. Since last night until this afternoon, strange events had been happening one after another in Ruili City, and all these incidents were not in his favor. Now he realized he might not be able to retain his position as the director, so he was determined to make a grand show, "You want to play? I'll play with you; let's see who's better!"

Tang Lie and Liu Mingfeng got off the plane and reported the situation to Xiang Rong.

"Damn it, these bastards really act as if I don't exist, lawless and reckless. Get on the plane and arrest those troublemakers for me." Xiang Rong shouted furiously after hearing from Tang Lie and Liu Mingfeng. Clearly, Li Yang didn't have any regard for him.

"Director Xiang, long time no see!" Li Yang beamed, accompanied by more than ten subordinates, disembarking under police surveillance. Upon seeing Xiang Rong, he laughed heartily.

"Ah, I see it's none other than Mr. Li Yang, president of one of the three major gangs in Ruili, the Qingmu Society. No wonder he's so arrogant, daring to hijack a plane." Xiang Rong sneered, his words barbed with sarcasm.

"Director Xiang, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't speak recklessly. We are law-abiding citizens, and such a grave accusation like hijacking shouldn't be made lightly. I even helped you deal with a group of criminals on the plane who were disrupting public order and committing murder. Not only do you not thank me, but you also levy such a charge against me—I can't bear it." Li Yang was taken aback when he heard Xiang Rong's words. Usually, Xiang Rong was respectful to him, almost calling him father.

However, Xiang Rong's tone was obviously different this time, not only lacking respect but even containing a touch of reproach and irony.

"Haha, President Li, there's no need to explain. Now please cooperate with us and come to the station for investigation." Xiang Rong looked at Li Yang, his eyes full of mockery, his face smiling but with cold intent beneath.

"Haha, Director Xiang, we're old acquaintances. You know me well. Of course, I'll cooperate with your investigation, but I have some matters to attend to now. Can I come to the police station later to assist in your investigation?" Although he noticed something off about Xiang Rong's demeanor today, Li Yang didn't take it too seriously, thinking Xiang Rong was about to ask for a bribe.

"Haha, I certainly know what kind of person the great President Li is, which is why I'm confident in the statements of the two captains and the crew about what happened on the plane. As for President Li's proposal to come to the station for questioning later, I'm afraid—that won't do—take him away!" Xiang Rong spoke with a smile at first but turned serious when he said "take him away."

"Director Xiang, may I have a word with you in private?" Seeing Xiang Rong's stance, Li Yang realized it might not be easy to deal with him this time. His face twitched, but he forced a smile as he spoke to Xiang Rong.

"A word in private?" Xiang Rong frowned, but his heart leaped with joy, seeing money flying towards him.

"This way, please?" Li Yang gestured.

"Alright, fine!" Xiang Rong followed Li Yang around to the back of the car.

"Director Xiang, here's a check for ten million. Would this possibly..." Li Yang handed a check to Xiang Rong with a plaintive smile.

"Well—this is—rather tricky!" Xiang Rong, delighted internally, held the check flat in his hand, feigning difficulty.

"Tear!" Li Yang ripped a check and handed it to Xiang Rong. "Director Xiang, could you perhaps make an exception?"

"Director!" At this moment, Qin Dong ran over and saluted Xiang Rong.

"What's the matter?" Xiang Rong frowned.

"Director, someone named Huang Zheng is looking for you. He says he's the new director and wants to take over your duties right now." Qin Dong hesitated for a moment before whispering in Xiang Rong's ear.

"So quick, it seems this matter has indeed blown up, plus this hijacking incident... it's time to step down." Xiang Rong sighed inwardly.

"I apologize, President Li; I have some matters to attend to. Give me two minutes!" Xiang Rong apologized to Li Yang before following Qin Dong away.

"Director Xiang, please go ahead!" Li Yang said with a smile, looking around at the plane surrounded by police. Li Yang felt a headache; without Xiang Rong's command, no officer would let anyone leave. He couldn't force his way out at this moment.

"I wonder how the Qingmu Society is doing?" For some reason, Li Yang felt breathless when thinking about the Qingmu Society.

"Why is this happening? Could something have happened to the Qingmu Society?" Li Yang was worried, cold sweat dripping from his forehead.

"Maybe I should give that bastard Xiang Rong some more benefits. If something happens to the Qingmu Society, it won't be just a matter of millions!" Li Yang decided to offer Xiang Rong some incentive to get out quickly, though he never imagined he wouldn't have a chance to leave.
