Chapter 180: He Tian’s Disciples Everywhere

With the involvement of the National Security Bureau, coupled with Hu Hailiang's own influence and the widespread attention from numerous high-ranking figures gathered in an extremely short span of time, the Nanjing Military Region command was issued swiftly. The order was directly dispatched to a naval aviation squadron stationed in Zhoushan, instructing them to stand by for the landing of flight ATH3862...

Furthermore, the Zhoushan naval aviation squadron was urged to render every possible assistance to ensure the safe landing of the passenger airliner. At the same time, the squadron was ordered to establish contact with He Tian, who was currently piloting the aircraft.

"Boss, what's the situation now? It seems like this has blown up into a huge deal?" Divine Wind had been right by He Tian's side all along and was well-aware of the current predicament. However, he had no idea whether He Tian would actually be able to pilot the plane all the way to Zhoushan Airport.

"Could it possibly not be a huge deal? Whether it's a hijacking or critically low fuel, this is the kind of incident that will get a massive batch of people disciplined. And once a plane crash happens, none of those officials are going to keep their jobs!" He Tian understood all too well what was making certain people on the ground so nervous.

"I couldn't care less about their official positions! Can we land successfully or not?" Divine Wind was much more concerned about this point.

"I'll need your cooperation!" He Tian checked the flight path and the remaining fuel, then said earnestly.

"I don't know how to do any of this... Just tell me what to do!" Divine Wind declared.

"You just need to follow my instructions and operate accordingly!" He Tian said in a deep voice. "In aviation, there is a specialized flight procedure for when fuel is nearly exhausted! It's going to be a bit bumpy. Connect me with Huihui!"

"Got it!" Divine Wind gave He Tian his unconditional cooperation at this moment.

Divine Wind certainly didn't want to reach the end of his life because of an airplane crash.

Life was far too wonderful; Divine Wind was not willing to leave it just yet.

"Please fasten your seatbelts, everyone!"

"The plane will experience some turbulence, but please remain calm!"

"Our pilot will land the aircraft safely!"

……

After He Tian communicated with Huihui, she, along with Hongmei, Xiaohong, and the other flight attendants, stepped forward to explain the situation to the passengers. They personally accompanied the passengers to weather the turbulence together.

Faced with various questioning from numerous passengers, as well as their intense desire to know the truth, Huihui and the others maintained their smiles and composure throughout. While informing them of the facts, they also instilled strong confidence in the passengers!

In truth, for Huihui, Xiaohong, and Hongmei, experiencing something like this was utterly terrifying. Yet, their strong sense of duty caused them to mature at an extraordinary speed amidst such a crisis.

The plane felt as though it was about to touch down at any moment!

The command center, which had been tracking the aircraft, stared in gaping disbelief as they observed the plane's bizarre and unfathomable flight maneuvers!

Only the colonel from the National Security Bureau maintained a solemn expression, his eyes filled with profound gravity.

He understood very well that this was an extreme flying technique employed under conditions of critically low fuel. Utilizing this method could drastically reduce fuel consumption, thereby achieving the objective of flying a greater distance with a limited amount of fuel!

And such a method... could never be executed by anyone who did not possess exceptionally superb piloting skills.

Right now, he was consumed by curiosity!

A passenger had not only subdued two operative hijackers but also possessed such master-level flight skills!

The colonel whispered a few instructions to someone nearby, and that person immediately left the room.

When encountering a person of this caliber, the colonel's instinctive reaction was to investigate!

"Boss!" Divine Wind high-fived He Tian excitedly!

The plane was safe and landed without a hitch!

Military runways were superior to civilian ones! As long as there was fuel, landing posed no problem whatsoever!

He Tian smiled faintly as he looked at the large crowd of military personnel outside the aircraft, and then at the security personnel and flight attendants helping the passengers disembark. A profound sense of accomplishment washed over him...

Without a doubt, claiming that He Tian had saved these people's lives was an indisputable fact!

Furthermore, upon seeing Liu Qigang and Huang Jie being immediately carried away by military medics, while John and Chekhov were escorted away under military guard, He Tian felt even more at ease.

"Boss, what do we do now?" Divine Wind asked.

"What else can we do? We can't just leave right now!" He Tian said with a smile. "Relevant departments are already tracking us down! But I'll handle that end of it. For now, we just need to wait until all the regular passengers have left before we head out."

"Heh... They're actually investigating us! We just saved a bunch of people's lives!" Divine Wind sneered slightly.

"Little Madman, that's enough! Complaining is useless!" He Tian could understand Divine Wind's sentiment; after all, someone like Divine Wind despised being investigated above all else!

How to evacuate these passengers, how to comfort them, and a series of other logistical issues were not things He Tian needed to worry about.

"You guys are amazing!" Xiaohong threw herself directly onto Divine Wind, her face radiating excitement!

Having escaped the danger and now looking back on it, Xiaohong and the others felt an unprecedented thrill.

The performance of He Tian and Divine Wind had left Xiaohong and her colleagues utterly in awe.

What was called turning the tide and saving a desperate situation? This was precisely it...

Huihui also looked at He Tian with a face full of undisguised adoration... In fact, Huihui felt even more pride and elation than Xiaohong! From Huihui's perspective, He Tian's role was even greater than Divine Wind's!

Well, women can sometimes be wonderfully illogical. Comparisons that one could never imagine might have already taken root and sprouted within their hearts!

He Tian and Divine Wind received the gratitude of all the airline crew members as if they were heroes...

This scene only came to an end when airline personnel finally requested them to vacate the area!

As for He Tian and Divine Wind, they were escorted by the garrison to the camp!

"Please wait a moment, gentlemen. Some people wish to see you," a lieutenant colonel said with a gentle smile, his attitude exceptionally courteous. Having learned the full sequence of events, he was likewise filled with curiosity about He Tian and Divine Wind.

"Little Shun... Exactly who wants to see us? We are heroic figures here, treating us like this is going a bit too far, isn't it?" He Tian said with a beaming smile.

The lieutenant colonel was momentarily stunned, looking at He Tian in disbelief, his face a mask of utter confusion.

"Are you asking for a beating? Is that how you look at your own instructor?" He Tian scolded playfully, reaching out to rap the lieutenant colonel sharply on the head.

"In... Instructor? Is it really you? But..." Wan Shun's face was a mixture of astonishment and joyous surprise.

"Your appearance has changed, right?" He Tian laughed and scolded, "But my voice hasn't changed, has it? You brat didn't even recognize it. Don't you deserve a beating?"

"Instructor... I... I had some doubts just now, but I never expected it to be you, Instructor! Ah, just a few days ago I heard Zhu猛 bragging about seeing the instructor again! I never thought I, Wan Shun, would get to see the instructor too!" Wan Shun appeared even more emotional.

"Alright, alright! Not bad at all, you're a lieutenant colonel now. You brat got assigned to naval aviation?" He Tian patted Wan Shun's shoulder and said, "Good, as long as you can fly planes, it doesn't matter where you are!"

"Instructor..." Wan Shun's eyes reddened slightly. Hearing He Tian's familiar voice once more truly moved him deeply, and the scenes of being trained by He Tian flooded back into his mind!

He remembered when a bunch of hardened men had first burst into laughter upon seeing a mere kid show up to train them... He remembered how the instructor had used concrete actions to silence one pilot after another who thought of themselves as geniuses. He remembered the strict yet selfless care beneath that stern exterior, and the wonderful times spent mingling as one with the instructor...

Wan Shun, a man forged of steel, could not help but soften.

"Aha... Little Shun, are you trying to make a fool of me?" Sensing something amiss, He Tian realized he had better intervene before Wan Shun's deeply sentimental side fully took over.

"Instructor, I..." Wan Shun was still profoundly emotional!

"Pull your sentimentality together and pack it away! How many times have I told you? As a pilot... you must be one hundred percent rational. You can never let sentimentality dictate your actions during a mission! It seems you haven't taken that to heart at all!" He Tian turned stern!

"Instructor... I, I will definitely change!" Wan Shun lowered his head, and when he raised it again, the iron-willed soldier had fully returned!

Watching He Tian exchange banter and laughter with Wan Shun, Divine Wind felt an overwhelming sense of... admiration!

This only served to make Divine Wind even more intensely curious about He Tian's past!

First there was Zhu Meng, and now another character named Wan Shun popped up!

Just how many disciples did He Tian actually have?

Moreover, what was most terrifying was He Tian's current age... Just how old had he been when he was training these lieutenant colonels and colonels? Pondering this, Divine Wind's curiosity burned hotter than ever.

After He Tian chatted with Wan Shun for a while...

Yang Haiyang, Hu Hailiang, and the National Security Bureau colonel arrived in Zhoushan and sought out He Tian!

Yang Haihai and Hu Hailiang stood to the side first, while the National Security Bureau colonel approached He Tian.

"Mr. He, thank you. Thank you for the extraordinary contributions you and your companion made during this hijacking incident," the National Security Bureau colonel said with a faint smile.

"Colonel... We did all of that! Yet we weren't allowed to leave like the other passengers! And truth be told, we were passengers ourselves to begin with!" He Tian smiled faintly, but his words carried a sharp edge!

From Wan Shun, He Tian had already learned that Wan Shun had received a request from this National Security Bureau officer for assistance—specifically, a request to detain He Tian and Divine Wind should they attempt to leave!

Detain was merely a polite word!

Stripped of pretense, it amounted to house arrest!

Although He Tian knew this was a routine investigation the National Security Bureau was bound to conduct, experiencing it firsthand still left him feeling deeply displeased!

More importantly, the smile plastered across the National Security Bureau colonel's face made He Tian feel even more repulsed!

He Tian knew that the duties of the National Security Bureau, the Military Intelligence Department, and the Dragon Group were entirely different, and he had heard rumors about their various operational styles. However... this was his first time experiencing it personally.

This feeling of being subdued by a soft blade was far more aggravating to He Tian than confronting a hard one!

"Mr. He, please don't misunderstand! I simply wish to ascertain a few more details, that's all! It's standard procedure," the National Security Bureau colonel said with a placid smile.
