Chapter 821: Deep Grudge
Glasses Man’s tone was filled with a lighthearted mood as he adjusted his glasses and smiled at the cabin door, “Even if you manage to control the helicopter, it’s useless. The fuel inside was only enough to get here in the first place. If you don’t believe me, you can force them to take off. But if you crash and get shattered, don’t blame us for not warning you beforehand.”
Hearing this, Mu Chen paused, a trace of anger flashing on his face, “Such calculated schemes! How deep is this grudge? Wait… This has nothing to do with me, right?”
“It’s a huge grudge,” Ling Mo replied calmly. In the face of immense interests, these little tricks are nothing…
“Should I go out and clarify? Can you provide me with some proof?” Mu Chen asked, frustrated.
“You’re just an instructor helping me lead the team. They shouldn’t make things difficult for you…” Ling Mo said, rubbing his temples.
“Damn it! Following you brings me nothing but bad luck!” Mu Chen exclaimed in exasperation. He drew his knife and said angrily, “If they make a move, I won’t be polite! But captain, do you know what is really going on here?”
“More or less…”
As he spoke, Ling Mo looked towards the cockpit again, and Xia Na, as if receiving a signal, suddenly walked over with a sly smile and pressed down hard on Li Yalin’s wrist. Her action appeared forceful, with no warning beforehand. Witnessing this, even Mu Chen couldn’t help but feel a chill, not to mention the pilot.
At this moment, that delicate hand seemed like a relentless hammer about to come down, ready to crush his skull. This kind of death was terrifying. Even though he was mentally prepared for various situations, he never expected something so horrifying.
The pilot almost instinctively shouted, “No! Don’t kill me! Please, don’t kill me!”“Hehe…” Xia Na’s palm stopped steadily just two centimeters away from her Senior Sister. She licked her lips, then turned her head to look at the Co-pilot. The Co-pilot, who had been expressionless, was now as pale as a sheet, with even his lips twitching involuntarily.
“No… please don’t…” the Co-pilot muttered nervously.
“It seems neither of you wants to die… Alright then, which one of you is going to tell me how much fuel is left?” Xia Na asked with a cheerful grin.
“I… I’ll tell you!”
“I’ll tell too…”
A few seconds later, Xia Na suddenly straightened up. She glanced back at Ling Mo and nodded with certainty.
“So it’s true…” Ling Mo thought, his expression uncertain.
From outside, Glasses Man shouted again, “Ling Mo, are you still not coming out?… I get it, you want to take those two people as hostages? If that’s the case, I advise you to come out quickly… Wake up to reality sooner rather than later, don’t waste our time. There’s no need to be overly afraid; we chose this method to be more peaceful, right? But if you insist on not cooperating…”
“This sure is a peaceful scene,” a sarcastic voice suddenly interrupted him.
Glasses Man was momentarily stunned, then a forced smile appeared on his face as he brazenly looked at Ling Mo, who appeared at the cabin door, “You must be Ling Mo? Haha… I suggest you leave those two Pilots alone…”
In response to his gaze, Ling Mo simply raised an eyebrow before jumping to the ground.
The moment he moved, the people around him immediately pointed their guns, and Glasses Man’s pupils slightly narrowed.
Luo Ming instinctively took a step back, especially when Ling Mo’s gaze swept over him, stirring memories of similar situations he had encountered before. There was something strange in this man’s eyes, making it difficult to control one’s emotions…
And at this moment, the emotion Luo Ming was feeling, originally meant to be excitement, inexplicably mixed with a trace of anxiety…
“And who are you?” Ling Mo asked bluntly.
He didn’t spare Glasses Man even a glance as he turned his attention to the surroundings…
A trace of anger appeared in Glasses Man’s eyes, and his laughter gradually faded. His tone became more sinister, “You’re nothing but a trapped fish yet so arrogant. Do you even realize how many guns are pointed at you right now? The moment I give the order, you’ll be riddled with bullets…”
Seeing that Ling Mo seemed unfazed, Glasses Man sneered, then suddenly said, “Are you looking for the other helicopter? Don’t worry, they’re just circling above this town. We’ve investigated and know you’ve taken down Air Force Corps planes before. We don’t know what clever trick you used, but this time, you definitely won’t have any chance… Have your people come out and surrender quietly, or else your companions will share your fate…”
As he spoke, Glasses Man’s sneer gradually disappeared again. He expected to see panic and fear on Ling Mo’s face, but instead, Ling Mo just stared at him as if he were an idiot. This made him both angry and uncomfortable.
Why is this man so calm? With guns pointing at him and his companions hovering above, why isn’t he even slightly affected? Has he calculated that the camp wouldn’t kill him, so he acts indifferent? Or does he have some other plan?
“Hehe, I advise you to stop scheming. The camp has gone to great lengths for you, which is quite an acknowledgment… I’ve heard you were just a survivor working for us before… You handed over the Air Force Corps because you couldn’t handle them, and now we’re just making you surrender completely…”
Glasses Man continued, knowing that there were several others in the cabin, but capturing Ling Mo would render the others irrelevant.
“Setting a trap to catch me and then using me to coerce Yuwen Xuan-is that what you call respect? If I were really working for you, why complicate things so much? With your capabilities, couldn’t you just crush me with a flick of your finger? As for handing over… I didn’t give anything to you; I gave it to Yuwen Xuan, understand?” Ling Mo said, speechless.
For those blinded by greed, having a good excuse is not the most important thing-the result is all that matters. Even if they spout robber’s logic, they can do so with conviction and even a clear conscience. Ling Mo hadn’t expected such thinking to become mainstream in Falcon so quickly.
“That Su Qianrou… What exactly did she promise…” Ling Mo couldn’t help but sigh.
“Survival of the fittest, that’s a natural law. You’re still too young…” Glasses Man increasingly felt that something was off. He suddenly frowned and asked, “You knew all along? How did you know?”
As soon as he asked the question, Luo Ming also looked up nervously. He suddenly understood the source of his anxiety…
“When they came to pick me up, I already knew,” Ling Mo smiled and said, “But at first, it was just a feeling. It wasn’t until the plane arrived here that I was completely certain. The Co-pilot deliberately made a hand gesture and emphasized the phrase ‘ready.’ At the time, I thought it was some kind of action code, but now I know it was about the other helicopter.” He looked at Glasses Man again, “Your psychic power is impressive, hiding so many people and concealing any issues. But I simply refused to get off the plane, and you started to get anxious…”
Glasses Man grunted in annoyance but then smiled again, “Even if you have sharp observation skills, so what? You’re still here, aren’t you?” He gestured to his men, saying, “Bring everyone down, and tie this man up! Ling Mo, whether or not you interpreted the signal correctly, this matter is already settled…”
“Heh…” Ling Mo chuckled and shook his head. Almost simultaneously, the roar of an engine approached the area…
