Outside the airport, the leader of this attack, Michael, sat in a car with a man holding a laptop. The screen displayed scenes of explosions and gunfire inside the airport.
Inside the airport, there were six heavily armed terrorists. Each one of them wore a bomb vest, all of which were pulse-triggered bombs made from homemade C4 explosives. The explosion occurred after Michael issued an order through an earpiece, commanding one terrorist to sacrifice himself to suppress the government forces’ resistance.
The six terrorists were devout members, well-trained, and ruthless; they wouldn’t blink at a suicide attack.
"Long live Allah, Amen." The suicide bomber shouted as he detonated himself.
The terrorists had cameras on them; Michael was monitoring every move inside the airport, organizing the operation.
"Seize the plane to coerce the government forces to release the imprisoned people." Michael issued such an order.
Michael was part of the rebels; this operation aimed to force the Ba Country Government to release the imprisoned rebel inmates.
"Yes." The terrorists received this instruction, sweeping with their AK47s, using the explosion to clear obstacles, and rushed to the plane.
"Retreat, retreat, they have powerful explosives on them." The Ba Country Government troops were terrified, searching for cover everywhere.
The earlier suicide bombing resulted in approximately a dozen casualties among the government forces. Some airport staff suffered catastrophic injuries, and these innocent civilians lost their lives and would never stand up again.
The waiting room was in chaos, with people screaming and fleeing everywhere.
Outside the airport, Tie Zhongshi, who came to pick someone up, narrowed his eyes, his heart palpitating with fear: "Terrorist attack, yet another terrorist attack! Hopefully, Boss Chu and his group can escape this danger and remain unscathed."
Tie Zhongshi, a citizen of Huaxia Country, of the Hui nationality, a half-believer in ******, operated an electric company in Ba Country that couldn’t sustain anymore, hence wanting to sell it.
And it was Tie Zhongshi’s electric company that Chu Mengyao was acquiring.
The related procedures had not yet been completed and required face-to-face negotiation. Chu Mengyao wanted to expand the business in Ba Country, so she came here not only to acquire Tie Zhongshi’s electric company but also to develop other industries.
"Boss, what should we do now? For safety’s sake, we’d better leave first." Tie Zhongshi’s bodyguard was unsettled.
"Wait a moment." Tie Zhongshi hesitated for a moment before making up his mind.
"Boss, it won’t be long before the government troops cordon off the vicinity of the airport. If we get into trouble then, it will be terrible." The bodyguards were anxious and very scared. As bodyguards, they practically earned their wages with their lives, but encountering such a thorny issue as terrorists, they aimed to stay as far away as possible and were afraid of getting into trouble.
"Unless absolutely necessary, I won’t leave." Tie Zhongshi said firmly, then began to pray, hoping Boss Chu and the others would be okay because he needed the money from selling the company to ransom the lives of his wife and daughter. He couldn’t flee in panic.
The bodyguards remained indifferent and had to follow the boss’s instructions.
Inside the airport, five terrorists successfully boarded the plane.
The Ba Country Government troops’ resistance was to no avail.
The terrorists could easily bypass the security check due to the precise timing of their attack; the plane landed, the cabin door opened, and that was when they suddenly launched the strike.
In the first-class cabin, Ye Fan and his group were not anxious; instead, they remained very calm.
After the explosion, Ye Fan observed the movements outside. The conversations between the terrorists and the Ba Country Government troops were something he paid special attention to. With his sharp eyesight and lip-reading skills, even though these people were speaking in Urdu, he could discern the situation he needed to grasp.
"Apart from the one dead terrorist, there are still five terrorists. After witnessing the terrorists’ ferocity, the remaining members of the Ba Country Government troops were frightened out of their wits, almost giving up resistance, waiting for reinforcements. There is someone in the dark giving orders to the remaining five terrorists. The terrorists’ goal is to coerce the Ba Country Government troops into releasing imprisoned terrorist inmates. Clearly, we have become the hostages used by the terrorists for blackmail." Ye Fan said slowly, "The bombs on the terrorists are C4, homemade bomb vests, pulse-controlled."
"Benefactor, how do you know this intelligence?" Du Xueqi and the other five women were dumbfounded, their jaws nearly dropping.
Listening to Ye Fan’s revelations, they were deeply shocked as if their hearts couldn’t beat anymore.
Earlier, Du Xueqi and the other five women had also observed the outside situation through the window, but they had obtained very little useful information.
However, Ye Fan seemed to know almost everything happening outside.
That was too terrifying.
As former assassins, the five women were not without skills, but compared to Ye Fan, they were not even close.
They were well aware that obtaining accurate intelligence in such a situation was tantamount to gaining a second life.
"I know Urdu, but benefactor, do you?" Du Xueqi was surprised.
"I read lips. However, due to the distance being too far, I couldn’t make out what the terrorists and Ba Country Government troops were saying. But benefactor, even if you can read lips, we can accept this shock, but your eyesight is a little too sharp. It’s almost scaring us." A woman stared with eyes wide open.
"Benefactor, you are simply a freak. You can gather so much intelligence with just your eyes." Another woman exclaimed in surprise.
Ye Fan’s methods and skills here provoked admiration from Du Xueqi and the other five women from the depths of their bones.
Even Mengyao was surprised, then smiled happily.
In Ba Country, the local language is Urdu, and the second language is English.
Among Du Xueqi and the five women, each had skills, but only Du Xueqi was proficient in Urdu. As Mengyao’s secretary, she also served as a translator for this trip to Ba Country.
"Don’t be surprised. I noticed you didn’t get much information, so I wanted to remind you not to act rashly later." Ye Fan said solemnly.
"What do we do now?" Mengyao couldn’t handle such a problem.
"Why don’t we fight our way out? A few terrorists can’t stop us." Du Xueqi said nonchalantly.
"Don’t be reckless. If we make any move, the terrorists will certainly notice. Moreover, I see the terrorists have cameras on them and earpieces. Clearly, someone nearby is controlling all this. We can’t just kill them; another way must be found. More importantly, unless we can simultaneously resolve all five terrorists, the terrorists could get angry and blow up the plane into smithereens. We might escape without issue, but there are so many people on the plane; we can’t ignore their lives."
Ye Fan certainly had his considerations.
But solving five fearless terrorists at once was not easy.
