I really don't want to be an official if I transmigrate into Qi Tongwei's life.

Chapter 161 Showdown with the Smuggling Gang (8)

Cao Xinwei, Luo Xiong, and Xie Cheng rushed onto the airport runway and hijacked a plane. The passengers had just disembarked, leaving only the flight attendants and pilots.

Municipal Public Security Bureau, interrogation room.

Hua Meigui sat on the truth chair with handcuffs on, and Qi Tongwei didn't have time to waste words with her.

"Tell me quickly, where did Cao Xinwei go?"

Rose looked at him with disdain, "I don't know."

Qi Tongwei grabbed Hua Meigui's chin, "You filthy bitch, don't think that the wealth you obtained by selling your body belongs to you. You have to spit out every single penny of your ill-gotten gains."

Hua Meigui smiled, a smile that reflected the bittersweet journey she had taken, as well as her resentment at the impending loss of wealth and freedom. But she had changed the fate of her younger siblings. Like a cunning rabbit with three burrows, even after being released from prison, the money she had hidden would be enough for her to live on for the rest of her life.

Suddenly, a policeman rushed in, "Captain Qi, something terrible has happened! Cao Xinwei has hijacked a plane!"

Qi Tongwei was taken aback, then loosened his grip on the blooming rose, saying, "You bitch, you'd better watch yourself."

He immediately ran to Han Weiping's office, where Han Weiping was urgently mobilizing special police, firefighters, and ambulances to rush to the airport.

Just as he hung up the phone, Secretary Zhu called again, "Director Han, rescue the hostages at all costs. We must not let the criminals' plot succeed."

"Yes, Director Han, I'll head to the airport immediately."

Han Weiping was in a real bind. Cao Xinwei's hijacking of the plane might cause a major international news story.

"You brat, come with me to the airport right now!" Cao Xinwei, cornered and desperate, has completely lost his mind.

"Yes, Director Han."

The two jogged along, and Qi Tongwei got into Han Weiping's car, which the driver sped toward the airport.

"Director Han, I request that Shen Guoqing be transferred from the detention center to the airport."

Han Weiping was puzzled, "The reason?"

"Shen Guoqing and Cao Xinwei were university classmates and used to be good friends. Ask him to try and persuade them."

"Okay, I'll arrange it."

Han Weiping didn't care about anything else; he had to try every possible method.

"You must act according to the situation and absolutely cannot let the plane take off."

"Yes, Director Han."

Qi Tongwei understood that hijacking a plane would likely be big news nationwide, and even worldwide, putting immense pressure on his superiors.

He immediately called Zhao Donglai and asked him to take Zhou Lin, who was under his protection, to the airport.

Shanghai Airport.

Cao Xinwei leisurely sipped red wine on the plane, while Luo Xiong and Xie Cheng held the flight attendants and pilots at gunpoint.

He wanted to make a big scene so that he could kill three birds with one stone: leave a major stain on Secretary Zhu's resume, kill Qi Tongwei to avenge himself, and hijack a plane to escape to Hong Kong and seek freedom.

Special police, firefighters, and ambulances are all on standby.

Han Weiping strode into the airport's command center, immediately grabbed the walkie-talkie, and said, "Cao Xinwei, this is Han Weiping. You can state your demands, but please, under no circumstances should the hostages be harmed."

Hearing the voice coming from the walkie-talkie, Cao Xinwei smiled contemptuously and put down his wine glass.

"Director Han, I have two pilots, five flight attendants, and a child at my disposal. I need you to fill the plane with fuel immediately."

Okay, I promise you.

Han Weiping readily agreed, saying that the most important thing now was to buy time and prepare for the rescue.

Cao Xinwei, holding Song Lele, stood up. "Director Han, has Qi Tongwei arrived?"

He's here.

I want to speak with him.

Han Weiping handed the walkie-talkie to Qi Tongwei, saying, "Cao Xinwei, are you making such a big fuss to ensure you're remembered with infamy?"

Cao Xinwei laughed heartily, "Qi Tongwei, I didn't break my promise, did I?"

"Stop talking nonsense, what exactly do you want?"

"Qi Tongwei, are you feeling particularly anxious right now, with a deep sense of powerlessness?"

Qi Tongwei now wished he could tear him to pieces. "Cao Xinwei, you call me crazy? I think you're even crazier than me. Vice Mayor Cao has already surrendered, so why are you still struggling?"

Cao Xinwei suddenly erupted in rage, "Qi Tongwei, you're the one who caused this whole mess! You should die!"

Qi Tongwei chuckled, "I'm standing right here. Go ahead and kill me, you idiot."

"Very good, very good, Qi Tongwei, sometimes you're quite amusing. You wanted to save Song Shuguang's daughter, right? Handcuff yourself, take off your clothes, get on the plane, and trade your life for hers. Do you dare?"

"it is good"

Qi Tongwei didn't hesitate at all. Saving lives was the priority, and he knew very well that Cao Xinwei's target was him.

"You've got guts. I'll give you three minutes to prepare."

Cao Xinwei felt a sense of control over everything, and humiliating Qi Tongwei brought him pleasure.

Qi Tongwei remained resolute: "See you in a meeting."

Han Weiping immediately made arrangements, with special police on standby at any time. "You can choose not to go, kid."

Qi Tongwei took off his clothes, leaving only his underwear. "Director Han, I am a police officer. There is no reason for me to back down when facing criminals."

Han Weiping was very worried because Cao Xinwei was blaming everything on Qi Tongwei, saying, "This trip is a matter of life and death, have you thought it through?"

"Director Han, I've made up my mind. If I really die a glorious death, just scatter my ashes at sea. There's no need for a tombstone."

A somber atmosphere quickly enveloped the command room. Han Weiping saluted Qi Tongwei, and Qi Tongwei returned the salute.

Everything was unspoken; in the face of life and death, words seem pale and powerless.

Qi Tongwei put on handcuffs, ready to die.

Shen Guoqing and Zhou Lin were immediately brought over.

They were all shocked to see Qi Tongwei like this.

Qi Tongwei walked up to them and said, "To make a long story short, I'm going to board the plane now to negotiate with Cao Xinwei. After I get on, you guys shout things at him to provoke him."

Before they could react, Qi Tongwei was already gone.

When Cao Xinwei saw Qi Tongwei walking towards him naked, knowing full well that he was going to die, he still dared to go without hesitation. He really admired him. No wonder he was defeated by him.

Amidst the biting wind, Qi Tongwei, with his hands raised, walked step by step onto the plane.

"Cao Xinwei, I'm here."

"Qi Tongwei, you son of a bitch!"

Luo Xiong rushed over and punched Qi Tongwei several times in the face. He was only in this state because of Qi Tongwei.

"Stop hitting!"

Xie Cheng also punched Qi Tongwei twice, and Cao Xinwei shouted to stop them.

Qi Tongwei wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. "You two are idiots. You insisted on getting shot because of them. Didn't you think about your families and children?"

Cao Xinwei, holding Song Lele in one arm and pointing a gun at Qi Tongwei with the other, said, "Qi Tongwei, fortune favors the bold. Throughout history, those who have achieved great things have all been ruthless. Your life is now in my hands. I only need to pull the trigger, and you'll be dead. What use is honor once a person is dead?"

Qi Tongwei laughed heartily, "Cao Xinwei, if I die, I'll be a martyr; if you die, you'll be a criminal. That's the difference between us."

"Mr. Cao, let me shoot him dead."

Luo Xiong now wishes he could skin Qi Tongwei alive to vent his hatred.

Cao Xinwei was very confident. "No rush. I want him to see how we escape from the police's encirclement."

Han Weiping's voice came through the walkie-talkie, "Cao Xinwei, airport staff are coming over to refuel the plane."
