Chapter 672 Air Disaster
"Sir, would you like to have a drink?"
An air stewardess approached Muchen and asked respectfully.
Muchen was engrossed in reading a geographical magazine and nodded upon hearing the air stewardess. "A glass of warm water. Thank you."
"Sure, please wait for a moment," the air stewardess replied and left.
Muchen rubbed his brow and put the magazine away. He turned to the side and found the passenger beside him holding his cup in a peculiar manner.
Muchen turned away casually and stood up to go to the washroom.
He quietly observed the passengers in the cabin as he walked.
Although nothing was strange on the surface, he felt a weird atmosphere in the cabin.
He stayed in the washroom and considered briefly before exiting.
A young man stood outside, waiting.
He glanced at Muchen before entering the washroom.
The air stewardess brought Muchen a glass of water.
He took a small sip and did not touch it anymore.
After ten minutes, he went to the washroom and found it still occupied.
Did someone else go in, or has the same person not come out yet?
Muchen's heart sank.
Everything's too odd.
'Bang!' A loud crashing noise suddenly sounded.
An air stewardess rushed to him and apologized, "I'm sorry, sir…"
"Step aside!"
"Sir, you… Argh!"
The air stewardess screamed, prompting everyone in the cabin to stand up.
Muchen sat in his seat. His expression was solemn as he clenched his fists before releasing them.
People rushed to him and surrounded him.
He did not look at any of them. Instead, his expression remained emotionless and calm.
"Mr. Qin, we meet again."
A male voice approached him.
Muchen instantly knew whose voice it was.
Even Chuan didn't know I returned to Yunzhou City.
Who would be devious enough to figure out my secret whereabouts? It has to be Enyang.
Enyang stood before Muchen. His eyes flashed with surprise when he saw Muchen's calm expression. "Mr. Qin, are you not surprised to see me?"
Muchen smiled slightly at him, "No, I'm stunned."
Enyang smiled and said nothing.
Logically speaking, Muchen should have been caught unaware. However, Enyang was not as sure about that as he looked at how calm Muchen was.
"Honestly, I was only testing. I didn't expect you to really return to Yunzhou City at such a critical period." Enyang stuffed his hands into his pants pockets, smiling gleefully.
Muchen's name caused apprehension throughout Gricy whenever it was brought up.
Previously, he spent two years infiltrating Muchen's circle through Ziyue. He created an intricate trap only for Muchen to foil everything.
After years of joining Gricy, Muchen was the only person who caused Enyang to fail his mission.
This time, Enyang finally succeeded.
He felt vindicated. "By the way, everyone on this flight is from Gricy."
Muchen leaned into his seat and appeared strangely relaxed. "So?"
Enyang looked at his unbothered demeanor and felt annoyed. "Mr. Qin, it's pointless to feign calmness. You will never leave this plane alive. Every crew and passenger on this plane shall die with you!"
"I'm honored that you put so much effort into dealing with me." Muchen smiled, but the smile did not reach his eyes.
Enyang sneered, "Muchen, you won't have another chance to see Ziyue and your son. Do you now regret not seeing them more before you left?"
Enyang was adept at psychological attacks and knew a person's weak spot.
Most crooks were blinded by greed and could only see things from their selfish point of view. Thus, they only knew to threaten someone with what they thought was important.
However, Enyang was different. He had someone he deeply cared about, so he understood Muchen.
He knew what Muchen's real weakness was.
LK Group, the prestige of the Mogwin family… All these things acquired through efforts and other means were not as crucial to Muchen as others thought.
Instead, Ziyue and Zixi were the most important to him.
As Enyang expected, Muchen's expression darkened at his words.
"They must be waiting for you to come home. Unfortunately, you won't live to go home. Still, I can help pass your message to Ziyue if you have anything to say. After all, I was her uncle for two years."
Enyang had completed numerous missions after joining Gricy, but none gave him as much sense of accomplishment as this one.
Muchen was no ordinary man. Many people wanted to bring him down or win him over, but none succeeded. On the hand, Enyang succeeded in cornering him.
Muchen adjusted his expression and said coldly, "I've said everything I needed to say and did everything I should do."
…
News of an air disaster appeared past midnight.
"A plane crash occurred at ten o'clock sharp tonight, involving flight T2XX that took off from Yunzhou International Airport, traveling toward Country J. Fire broke out in the cargo hold, causing the plane to crash as it flew past City B. The preliminary forecast suggests a zero survival rate for everyone on board… We shall follow up with more reports on this matter."
'Clang!' The cup in Ziyue's hands fell to the floor.
After confirming that Muchen was on that flight and the flight was full of people from Gricy, Ziyue chose not to go home.
One of the reasons was that Zixi had fallen asleep. Another reason was that Ziyue would feel even more anxious if she were to return to Cloud Bay.
Jingshu was also unable to sleep after what had happened.
Even Chuan remained awake in Country J and was busy making arrangements and finding ways to save Muchen.
Yet, no one expected things to take such a sudden and heartbreaking turn.
Plane crash.
Zero chance of survival.
Xia had given Ziyue the cup she had held a moment ago. The cup shattered after falling, and the shards cut into her bare feet. Yet, she felt no pain.
Ziyue blinked and asked with a stunned expression, "What… did the news say?"
She did not look at Jingshu or Xia but mumbled the words to herself.
Jingshu and Xia were also in shock and panic.
Of all the available transports, planes had the least likelihood of accident. Yet, it was the most tragic when one occurred.
