Chapter 94 She is a big shot!
"Yes, Sister Gao, where are you now? That video from the plane is going viral, and a lot of people are asking if it's real. Were the things that Teacher Lu and the others had given to them by your artists?"
No sooner had she finished speaking than a notification appeared on Gao Min's phone.
Gao Min quickly clicked on it and found it was a short video.
The video was likely taken by a passenger on the plane at the time. A group of masked men, holding guns, were pointing them at an elderly couple and speaking sternly.
And coincidentally, this couple was Lu Jingyun and Qi Jicong, who had just said goodbye to Ye Wanxi the day before.
The robbers seemed to want to take Lu Jingyun, who was relatively easier to control, hostage. Qi Jicong was eager to protect his wife and stood firmly in front of her, not letting these people touch her at all.
This clearly angered the ruthless robbers, and one of them shot him without hesitation.
Many people's expressions changed upon seeing this, and they felt a chill for Qi Jicong.
But then, something magical happened.
The kidnapper pulled the trigger and there was a loud bang. Qi Jicong and the other man were fine, but the kidnapper screamed because his gun exploded!
The shrapnel that flew out due to the explosion flew into the kidnapper's eyes, causing him to fall to the ground with his eyes covered and let out a horrifying scream.
The other kidnappers were as confused as the passengers present. After a moment, they reacted and blamed their companions' behavior on Qi Jicong and the other man.
"What did you do?"
With that shout, another gunshot rang out, and the passengers screamed. But it was the kidnapper who fired the shot who was injured again.
Not only that, those who had guns but hadn't pulled the triggers also started exploding one after another after the shot rang out, almost wiping out the entire group without anyone else having to put up a fight.
If this matter had ended there, it would have been fine. At most, people would have attributed it to the fact that the hijackers were short of money and had acquired a batch of inferior firearms, which cost them dearly.
However, the most magical part was yet to come.
After seeing their companions' guns explode one after another, some of the quicker-thinking individuals decisively discarded their weapons and instead drew their knives.
However, the deterrent effect of cold weapons is obviously not as good as that of guns. Some of the quick-thinking young people on the plane rushed over as soon as they saw these people drop their guns and snatched the knives from their hands.
Wang Chengwen happened to be among this group of people, but unfortunately, he was a bit unlucky.
Although they successfully tackled one of the kidnappers, there was another accomplice nearby.
Seeing that his companion was in trouble, the other party pulled out a knife and stabbed Wang Chengwen in the back.
Lu Jingyun's expression changed drastically upon seeing this, and she exclaimed in alarm, alerting Wang Chengwen.
Wang Chengwen narrowly dodged, but was ultimately too late. The moment he turned around, the other person forcefully thrust the knife toward his heart.
Even Wang Chengwen probably thought he was doomed this time, but who would have thought that magical reality would strike again.
The knife, which looked exceptionally sharp, was stuck in Wang Chengwen's shirt pocket, but it wouldn't go in no matter what he tried.
Wang Chengwen was stunned, and so was the kidnapper. The two stared at each other for a few seconds.
The kidnapper refused to believe it and tried to force the knife in, but to his surprise, the knife didn't go in; instead, it bent.
Fortunately, Wang Chengwen finally came to his senses at this time, kicked the man away, and covered his burning chest, at a loss.
Just then, with the help of some helpful passengers, the flight attendants on the plane captured the remaining kidnappers and successfully rescued Wang Chengwen, who was being besieged.
"Old Wang, are you alright?" With everything settled, Lu Jingyun and the other woman rushed to Wang Chengwen's side and asked with concern.
"It's nothing." Wang Chengwen said with a subtle expression, taking out a blue brocade pouch from the pocket of his torn shirt.
The brocade pouch, like the pocket of the coat, had a hole in it, revealing its contents: a pile of burnt talisman paper.
Lu Jingyun and the other woman were also taken aback when they saw this. They took out their own brocade pouches at the same time, opened them, and found that they were exactly the same as Wang Chengwen's, having already turned into black ash.
"This is a good luck charm that Xiao Ye gave us before she left. I opened it and took a look before I left, and it was a perfectly good yellow charm."
When Lu Jingyun said this, the three of them widened their eyes, obviously thinking of what had just happened.
This scene was completely recorded by a passenger who was recording a video just a few steps away from them, and the conversation between the few people was also clear.
City S, where Lu Jingyun and others were, was much farther away than City A, where Ye Wanxi was, so they set off first that day, but their plane didn't land until the early morning of the next day.
This video was just released early this morning, exactly when Ye Wanxi was helping Xixi get her fate back at the Xiao family.
At that time, Ye Wanxi and others encountered human traffickers while filming a program. The news of rescuing abducted children had not yet faded, and many people knew that the "Little Ye" mentioned by Wang Chengwen was Ye Wanxi.
As soon as the video came out, the internet went into an uproar.
Some people think it's a paranormal event, some think Ye Wanxi is truly demonic, and others believe it's a premeditated publicity stunt.
However, as soon as this last statement came out, it was criticized by many people.
Who would spend so much money to hire a planeload of people to hype this up? This is clearly a serious criminal case. Lu Jingyun and the others are public figures after all. Only someone crazy would hype something like this up.
Some passengers who were present at the time were also unhappy about being labeled as a publicity stunt, and they came forward one after another to prove the authenticity of the video, which made the online noise even more intense.
After watching the video, Gao Min was also deeply disturbed: "You...you knew about them all along, didn't you...they..."
Otherwise, they would not send them off early or late, but would gather together and send one person off each when they are about to leave.
Before Ye Wanxi could say anything, her cell phone rang again, but this time it was not Gao Min's, but hers.
"Aunt Lu?"
"It's me." Lu Jingyun's heart was still not completely calm as she whispered, "Did you see what happened last night?"
"I just saw it and was just about to call you. Are you, Uncle Qi, and Uncle Wang all alright?"
"It's alright, it's alright, we didn't even get a scratch, we're completely unharmed."
"That's good."
Lu Jingyun was silent for a moment, but still couldn't help asking in a low voice, "Wanxi, the amulet you gave us..."
“I see. This thing is a consumable; it’s useless once the mission is complete. If you want it, I’ll give you another one next time we meet.”
This statement can be seen as an indirect admission that everything that happened on the plane was related to her talisman.
Lu Jingyun gasped. She hadn't just met a nice junior; she'd clearly met a big shot!
