151: Chapter 151 China Eastern Airlines 768

Time passed quickly.

Lin Heng also piloted the aircraft, flying towards Dragon Capital Airport.

At first, quite a few people were worried.

Because the flight delay was already common knowledge, if any major incident broke out, it would be difficult to handle the aftermath.

But what they worried about most was... if anything happened to the plane, they would definitely not be able to escape responsibility.

Then they would face all sorts of public outcry.

Just as everyone was at a loss, a voice crackled over the radio.

"This is east star 768, requesting landing permission."

"Repeat, this is east star 768, requesting landing permission."

"Received, please confirm!"

Soon, an unbelievable voice came through.

For a moment, everyone in the Dragon Capital control room froze. They never expected that the missing plane... would actually return on its own at this time!

After a moment of stunned silence, they quickly reacted.

A smile appeared on their faces.

Then, one by one, they excitedly hugged each other.

The Director even excitedly snatched the microphone and spoke with great emotion:

"Landing permission granted!"

"We will quickly clear the obstacles on the runway for you—oh wait... there were never any obstacles up there; they were all kept clear for you, always reserved!"

"Landing permission granted!"

"Received, please confirm!"

The Director was visibly excited.

What could be more exciting than bringing the plane back safely?

"Received, received! We are commencing landing!"

Soon, east star 768 received the message and quickly began circling for landing.

Afterward, the people in the control room began tidying themselves up.

The Director straightened his uniform and, leading a group of people, quickly headed to the airport.

This was the moment they welcomed heroes!

How could they not be excited?

Being able to bring back the missing aircraft demonstrated the pilot's capability, and such an event would undoubtedly cause a significant stir outside, which for Donghang Group, was a great way to boost their reputation.

It was entirely beneficial!

"I must give this formidable pilot a promotion and a raise!"

"At the very least, I must reward him with a substantial bonus!"

The Director stated with certainty.

Afterward, all of them arrived at the airport.

They waited on the spot, and behind them, quite a few new media reporters arrived, carrying long lenses and cameras, ready to receive the first-hand scoop.

This made the Director and the others even more spirited.

This represented the image of their Donghang Group!

They absolutely could not show any negative side of themselves to the public.

At this moment, some people in the crowd could no longer restrain themselves from asking Director Li for details.

"Director Li, may I ask how you view the situation of the flight successfully returning after being missing?

"How do I view it? How else could I view it?"

Director Li snorted slightly, and a look of pride immediately flashed across his face.

"Naturally, it's because of our group's excellent pilots and outstanding ground crew who resolved the sudden situation, ended the crisis, and safely delivered all the passengers to their destination."

"It's that simple."

This...

That was truly shameless arrogance...

They didn't even offer a polite word.

However, they didn't make any inappropriate comments regarding what Director Li said.

After all, what he said wasn't wrong.

If anyone could accomplish this, who else could it be besides the personnel of Donghang Group?

It couldn't possibly be the people who were flying, right?

"Director Li, what is your view on this incident of the flight going missing? Do you have any speculation about whether a malicious event occurred?"

Soon, someone else asked.

Upon hearing this, Director Li pondered for a moment.

He continued:

"I believe this was very likely a hijacking incident, but it still relied on our outstanding ground crew..."

"Without them, east star 768 would not have been able to return within two hours of losing contact."

"We must thank the ground crew up there; it must be they who, risking death, resolved the situation with the hijackers, and we will remember the sacrifices they made."

"We guarantee that their injuries will certainly be worth it."

Hearing this, everyone felt a slight sense of emotion.

Director Li was right; if it weren't for those ground crew members, the passengers on board would have been in grave danger.

In the struggle and fight against the villains, it was inevitable that some injuries would be sustained.

These were all sacrifices everyone could see!

"Oh, right... these are all outstanding employees cultivated by Donghang Group. Please make sure to label this incident with the Donghang Group's name, citing their brave fight against the enemy to save the passengers."

Director Li quickly reminded them.

Uh...

The new media reporters were momentarily stunned but quickly recovered.

Director Li really knew how to take credit for himself.

Just then, movement came from the front.

The plane had landed!

Everyone looked excited.

What came before was just the appetizer; the main event was now!

Soon, the aircraft slowly taxied to a stop.

Only then did everyone dare to approach.

"Hey, that's not right... why is this landing distance... much shorter than before?"

As the others stepped forward, Director Li noticed that the plane had landed much more smoothly than before, and the distance was shorter too.

Could it be that after flying internationally, there was a slight deviation in the control of the aircraft?

But that wasn't something he needed to focus on.

No need to worry about such a small detail.

Soon, Director Li and the others proceeded toward the location of the aircraft.

It was less than a thousand meters away from them.

At this time, people were already waiting ahead.

The new media reporters had almost blocked the exit completely.

Only when the mobile ladder was lowered did they clear a space.

Then, people quickly began descending from the aircraft.

The first to emerge were the passengers from economy class.

They scrambled out, not wanting to stay on that plane for even a second longer.

"Damn it! That scared me to death! There really were hijackers! I thought that kind of thing only happened in novels!"

"Damn it! I'm never flying again..."

The people who just got off were cursing.

Seeing the reporters gathered around, their eyes quickly darted around, and they began tidying their appearances.

Soon, one of the reporters asked.

"Excuse me, we heard that the flight you were on, east star 768, went missing for a while. Was it because it was hijacked by terrorists?"

"Then how did you survive this hijacking?"

"What were you thinking at the time?"

Everyone also looked on expectantly.

Hearing the question, the man thought for a moment and then quickly replied.

"Thinking? At the time, we were just thinking how someone in this world could be so outrageous."
