A Boeing 787 bound for Zhonghai Airport slowly took off from the runway. In first class, Xu Ruolan sat reading a book she had brought along to pass the time.
Ayu sat beside Xu Ruolan, disguised as an ordinary passenger. Around them, the other three were not far away.
There were faint sounds of people whispering nearby, seemingly discussing some plan.
Xu Ruolan did not realize that the people around her were actually sent by Ning Fan to protect her. She appeared focused, but her mind was actually on other things.
It seemed the plane would safely reach Zhonghai, and Ayu breathed a sigh of relief, having not noticed anything unusual yet.
Adian sat by the window, surveying the surroundings.
Nothing seemed amiss.
Slowly, the plane had been in flight for about half an hour when a passenger in first class stood up and walked toward the bathroom.
He passed by Xu Ruolan's side, and the Caucasian man, perhaps out of curiosity, glanced at her.
Ayu just noted him briefly and didn't sense anything wrong until he passed by again, when she detected a faint scent of blood!
The Caucasian man did not realize that Ayu had detected the smell of blood on him. He returned to his seat and closed his eyes, seemingly wanting to take a nap.
But Ayu, now aware that something was off, subtly signaled the other three.
After receiving Ayu's signal, the other three became vigilant, while Ayu stood up and called for a flight attendant.
But no crew member came to her, and Ayu frowned, turning to walk toward the cockpit.
At the same time, another passenger also stood up, seemingly coincidentally following behind Ayu.
The smell of blood grew stronger, and Ayu became cautious as she saw the cockpit door slightly ajar.
As she spoke, Ayu pushed open the cockpit door, and a rush of blood hit her senses. Two uniformed bodies lay on the ground, and a fist hurtled toward the back of Ayu's head.
Ayu ducked and spun around, her palm stabbing into the attacker's neck like a sharp blade.
The attacker's expression didn't change, still lunging at Ayu.
Ayu, with a grave look, released her grip, grabbed his head, and twisted his neck until he finally lay still.
Inside the cockpit, the captain and co-pilot were bloodied, their deaths grotesque as they lay on the ground.
"Damn it, this isn't the flight path to Zhonghai!"
After confirming that the plane had veered off the preset route, Ayu's expression changed, and she hurried back.
Upon Ayu's return, all the first-class passengers stood up.
"Protect the target!"
Following Ayu's loud shout, Xu Ruolan finally realized something was wrong, she looked up and saw a nimble figure leap to her side.
With a fierce yell, A Lei used brute force to rip out a seat and hurled it at the passengers showing murderous intent.
"They are from the Fang Guild!"
After the previous attack, Ayu had confirmed that many warriors from the Fang Guild were hidden on this plane.
Their target was definitely Xu Ruolan. The captain and the co-pilot had already been killed, and it was likely that the other crew members had also met their tragic fate earlier.
"Aside from the target, kill them all!"
A sinister man shouted as a group of assassins, barehanded, charged forward.
Xu Ruolan's face changed, and looking at A-Feng who was protecting her from behind, she asked, "Who are you?"
A-Feng kicked a prominent assassin, responding, "Someone asked us to protect you."
Even if A-Feng didn't say it, Xu Ruolan could guess who it was. It must have been Ning Fan.
Close combat was A-Lei's specialty. With his Divine Power, A-Lei was unstoppable, and his punches could shatter the internal organs of an assassin.
The violent and direct punches smashed down on bodies, leaving corpses slumped in their seats, all with caved-in chests.
Even though they were unarmed, the Fang Guild's four warriors possessed formidable fighting abilities. Besides A-Lei's punches, the other three warriors' fists were as sharp as Blade Edge, severing the assassins' necks.
Blood soared in the first-class cabin, and the walls were stained red everywhere, as Fang Guild's assassins kept surging up from the lower deck.
The fight was still ongoing. Xu Ruolan couldn't bear to watch such a bloody scene; she could only close her eyes, press tight against a corner, and not add any burden to the four warriors.
"A-Lei, block the entrance. Don't let them come up. The plane has deviated from its course, A-Dian, follow me!"
The critical issue wasn't just the Fang Guild's assassins. The plane had already veered off course, and they needed to steer it back on track.
After receiving the order, A-Lei left his back to A-Feng and with one punch per person, he cleared a bloodied path.
A series of screams erupted from the lower cabin, as the regular passengers realized that a battle was breaking out on the plane.
In the midst of the panicked crowd, numerous Fang Guild assassins rushed out, charging towards A-Lei and A-Feng.
Inside the Boeing 787's cockpit, A-Yu moved the corpses aside while A-Dian took the captain's seat on the left, rapidly operating the control panel.
"Miss Xu Ruolan, stay here and don't move. We will protect you,"
Having said this, A-Yu then ran to assist A-Dian.
Xu Ruolan stood at the doorway of the cockpit, looking at the two gruesomely dead bodies at her feet, and a sense of compassion welled up inside her.
The battle involving A-Lei and A-Feng was nearly over. With the last of the plane-infiltrating assassins jointly taken down by the two, the group of passengers stared at them in terror.
"Please take your seats calmly. We are not the bad guys. They were all about to hijack the plane. Please stay calm and sit in your seats!"
A-Feng shouted in English, not caring whether or not everyone understood. After shouting it three times, he then turned to search for other crew members on the plane.
The crowd gradually calmed down following A-Feng's shouts, but most people were still shaken, especially those sitting near the corpses.
"How is it on your side?"
After making a round inside the plane, A-Feng and A-Lei met up, both with grim expressions on their faces.
"All dead, not a single survivor."
"The same here. It seems that all the crew members on the plane are dead."
All the crew on the plane were dead, including the captain and the co-pilot. Now, A-Dian and A-Yu were flying the plane.
And there was more bad news, as A-Dian discovered that someone had tampered with the plane's fuel.
