When he arrived at the washroom in the front cabin, Jiang Cheng was shocked to find that there were already two members of the Lung Hing Society waiting there. Their expressions were very ugly.
Jiang Cheng's heart skipped a beat. Something must have happened!
The situation was very bad. They were on a plane. If something happened, it would not be a small matter!
"Cheng Ge, come take a look at these things," one of the Lung Hing Society members said to Jiang Cheng with a serious expression and led him into the washroom.
When Jiang Cheng entered the washroom, he was shocked by the scene in front of him. There was an unconscious blonde young man lying on the floor with a strange black backpack beside him. There was also a small black box behind the toilet bowl. The box was rectangular, about eleven or twelve centimeters long, six or seven centimeters wide, and about three centimeters thick. There were numbers jumping on it, as if it was a countdown clock!
Jiang Cheng understood immediately, and his expression changed. The black backpack was a parachute, and this small black box was undoubtedly a bomb!
The person lying on the floor was a killer. He was probably planning to use the parachute to escape after installing the bomb. However, he was discovered by the Lung Hing Society members and was knocked unconscious.
"Cheng Ge." One of the Lung Hing Society members clenched his teeth and frowned at Jiang Cheng, "I discovered this person. I was a bit suspicious when I saw him grab his luggage and go to the washroom. No one would bring such a big bag to the washroom, so I followed him out of curiosity to investigate. I accidentally saw him. This guy thought I was a normal passenger, so he wanted to trick me into the washroom and knock me out. That's how it is now." He pointed his chin at the blonde young man on the floor with a hint of disdain and hatred in his eyes.
This member of the Rising Dragon Association paused for a moment, then said with some worry: "Because this person also went to the washroom at the back not long ago, I chased after him to investigate and also found a bomb. I don't know how many of these bombs he's installed on this plane, and I don't know their exact locations."
"Mm." Jiang Cheng nodded solemnly. He squatted under the toilet and stared at the countdown timer on the bomb. It showed that there were 32 minutes and 49 seconds left.
"How long until we reach the airport in Hawaii?" Jiang Cheng stared at the bomb and asked without turning his head.
The three Lung Hing Society brothers didn't know what Cheng Ge meant, but one of them immediately looked at his watch and answered, "We'll arrive in 20 to 25 minutes." He looked up at Jiang Cheng and said, "We have enough time to leave the plane before the bomb explodes."
"No!" Jiang Cheng's face darkened. "The time shown on the bomb is fake. This bomb should only explode about 15 minutes ago."
"What? Only 15 minutes? Then wouldn't we … "A member of the Lung Hing Society exclaimed.
"That's right, the bomb will explode in the air, and at that time, all of us will die!" Jiang Cheng said with a grave expression.
"But Cheng Ge, why do you think that the time shown on the bomb is fake?" A member of the Lung Hing Society frowned and asked in puzzlement.
Jiang Cheng turned his head and looked at him. "Because of time!"
"Time? What's wrong with the time?"
Jiang Cheng shook his head lightly. "There's nothing wrong with the time itself. But look, this person has prepared a bomb and a parachute. If he really has enough time, he only needs to leave quickly after the plane lands. He doesn't need to prepare a parachute at all. Moreover, if he really has so much time, hehe, he can't be sure that the bomb will explode and kill us. Therefore, the bomb must explode in the air. The countdown timer of the bomb must have been modified. It will explode 15 minutes earlier, which means that there are about 15 minutes left on the countdown timer."
"Cheng Ge, why are you so sure that the bomb will only explode when there are 15 minutes left on the countdown timer? If it explodes earlier, won't we have no way to escape in the air? "
"This is something you don't understand." Jiang Cheng looked at the member of the Lung Hing Society who asked the question. "Civil aircraft like ours usually fly at an altitude of 6,000 to 9,000 meters. Sometimes, it will also reach 12,000 meters. Think about it, what will happen if we parachute at such an altitude?"
The member of the Lung Hing Society came to a realization and said, "The altitude is too high. If we parachute, the survival rate will be very low?"
"It's not low, it's very low! It's already not bad if one out of 100 people can survive when parachuting at an altitude of 6,000 meters. " Jiang Cheng corrected him. Then, he said, "Besides, don't forget, if we parachute now, even if we survive, we will fall into the ocean. There will be no rescue teams around, and this guy will still die. He won't do such a stupid thing."
"What Cheng Ge means is … he will wait for the plane to gradually descend and wait until it's a safe altitude before parachuting. By then, we will be close to Hawaii, and he will be able to get rescue easily?" A member of the Lung Hing Society touched his chin and said.
"Yes." Jiang Cheng nodded. "The reasonable altitude for parachuting is 1,000 to 1,500 meters high. If we extrapolate from this, the time of explosion will be obvious."
Upon hearing that the bomb would explode in mid-air, the members of the Lung Hing Society also began to feel nervous. Only when they were faced with death could they understand the fear of death better. Everyone had a complicated expression on their faces. If it were not for Jiang Cheng, they would have panicked. However, all of them gritted their teeth, and their expressions became gloomy.
"Don't panic. Since we've seen through this conspiracy, we naturally have a way to remedy it," Jiang Cheng said calmly.
The three members of the Lung Hing Society all looked at Jiang Cheng, waiting for him to say a solution.
Jiang Cheng slowly began to analyze. "First of all, we have to figure out how these bombs were brought onto the plane. It's impossible for these things to pass the plane's security check. The only possibility is that they were originally on the plane or were brought onto the plane by the staff. No matter which one it is, it proves that there's a mole among the staff of the plane, who is in cahoots with these killers."
After pausing for a while, Jiang Cheng continued, "Speaking of which, the mole didn't start just now. There are very few people who know that we're boarding the plane in Las Vegas, as well as the flight and other factors. But why was it leaked in advance? "This is actually very clear, but now is not the time to talk about this. Since there's a mole on this plane, find him immediately. Another group of people, go and search for the bombs. Report all the bomb locations to me. Remember, don't reveal the existence of the bombs before we catch the mole to prevent a commotion."
"Yes!!!" The three members of the Lung Hing Society answered in unison. Then, the three of them looked at each other. Two of them went out to handle matters, leaving only one to accompany Jiang Cheng.
"You go too. Find me some tools. I'm going to start disarming the bombs now." Jiang Cheng said to the last member of the Lung Hing Society. After thinking for a while, he reminded him, "It's best if there's a utility knife. The blade has to be long!"
"Okay, I'll get it from the air stewardess now." The member of the Lung Hing Society nodded.
"Don't expose yourself," Jiang Cheng said.
"Okay." The member of the Lung Hing Society nodded and immediately walked out of the restroom to the air stewardess' cabin.
After more than a minute, the member came back with some tools to disarm the bombs. Jiang Cheng took the tools from him and asked him to stand guard outside the restroom. He began to disarm the bombs alone. Time was running out. He didn't know how many bombs this guy had installed. As long as one of them exploded on the plane, it might cause the plane to crash and everyone on board would die.
Jiang Cheng squatted next to the bomb and began to examine it. Frankly speaking, he was not good at dismantling bombs, especially small high-explosive ones like this. As long as he touched the wrong part, it would immediately explode. Moreover, since it was a bomb used to deal with him, it might have been tampered with, such as a mechanism that would cause it to explode if someone tried to dismantle it.
Jiang Cheng began to disarm the bombs bit by bit, while the other members of the Lung Hing Society were busy on the plane. On one hand, they were looking for the mole on the plane, and on the other hand, they were looking for the bombs. In short, it was a scene like a raging fire. Everyone was racing against time. After all, a few minutes had passed since the bombs would explode, and death was approaching.
About three minutes later, the members of the Lung Hing Society caught a suspicious man. He turned out to be the co-pilot of the plane. He was carrying a bag and hiding in a small compartment. In the end, he was discovered by the members of the Lung Hing Society. They found an excuse to trick him out of the room and knocked him unconscious.
The members of the Lung Hing Society who were looking for the bombs were a little shocked. They had found a total of five bombs, and it was unknown whether there were more hidden bombs.
When Jiang Cheng walked out of the restroom, the members of the Lung Hing Society who were waiting outside immediately looked over in surprise and asked, "Cheng Ge, have the bombs been disarmed?"
"Yes." Jiang Cheng nodded and looked at the bomb in his right hand.
"Ah? Cheng Ge, the numbers on the bomb are still jumping! It seems like it will still explode. "The members of the Lung Hing Society were shocked.
Jiang Cheng looked at the bomb in his hand. "It will indeed explode. I just removed it from the ground. It's too late to deactivate its explosive power. After all, there are still a few other bombs, and I'm not good at this. If I make a mistake, it might explode immediately. So, it's safer this way."
"Cheng Ge, you, you mean … you want to remove all the bombs and throw them out of the plane?" The members of the Lung Hing Society suddenly understood.
"Yes." Jiang Cheng nodded. "But I still need the help of the captain. Just open the door a little. But before that, have you found the mole?"
"Found it. If Cheng Ge wants to see him, I'll bring him over immediately. Although he's unconscious now, there are ways to wake him up." The members of the Lung Hing Society snorted coldly. They didn't expect to be set up like this. Even if they didn't die, it was still a new lease on life. When the time comes, they would teach this old man a lesson!
"Forget it. There are still 20 minutes before the plane lands. We won't be able to get anything out of him in such a short time. Besides, it's not convenient on this plane. Let's lock him up and bring him out secretly. If we're still alive!" Jiang Cheng said with a murderous look on his face. It was really dangerous this time. If the assassin was willing to be a human bomb and didn't want to escape, they wouldn't have been able to escape this time. They were only lucky to be alive.
