Chapter 609
Could it be that I overestimated Sun Liancheng?
At Dongfang Airport, Tian Guofu, wearing a mask, was the last to get out of the taxi. He looked at the airport terminal in the distance, which resembled a gaping maw of abyss.
For some reason, Tian Guofu felt a sense of unease and panic, with a premonition that disaster was imminent.
Intuition told him that the best option was to retreat immediately, but Tian Guofu knew very well that he had no way out and could only take a risk and try his luck.
Even if fleeing abroad was a trap, Tian Guofu didn't want to sit idly by and wait for his death any longer. Or rather, the moment he learned that Shen Feng and Sun Liancheng were using him as bait, he was already prepared to die.
On the second floor of Dongfang Airport, in the temporary command room of the task force, a technician pointed to Tian Guofu, who appeared in the surveillance video, and said, "Report, the suspected target has appeared. His current location is entrance A3, and he is walking into the hall."
"Are they here?"
Sun Liancheng, who was leaning back in his office chair and pretending to doze off, opened his eyes and got up when he heard the technical staff of the special task force speak. He went to the surveillance video and locked his gaze on Tian Guofu, who was wearing a mask.
Nodding, Sun Liancheng agreed, "That's right, it's him, Tian Guofu!"
Seeing that Sun Liancheng had confirmed it was Tian Guofu, Shen Feng immediately said, "Old Sun, the targets have all entered the airport. Shouldn't we make the arrests right away? Delay could lead to complications."
Sun Liancheng looked at the surveillance video in the hall, pointed at the video and shook his head, "No, these sixty-odd people are sitting too far apart, and there are too many people around them. The situation could easily get out of control."
Sun Liancheng warned, "Moreover, at this time, Tian Guofu and his men are on high alert. If there is even the slightest disturbance, it will immediately alert them and cause them to flee in panic."
"The airport is so big, and there are so many people. Finding them will be like looking for a needle in a haystack, an impossible task."
Shen Feng glanced at the densely packed passengers on the monitor and the scattered locations of Tian Guofu and the others, then frowned. "Then let's wait. Let them board the plane. They're on the same flight; they'll have to get on eventually!"
"That's not enough!" Sun Liancheng's eyes flashed as he added, "Not only do we let them board the plane, but we also need to make the plane take off as usual to lower their guard and then control them on the plane."
"Notify air traffic control to intercept the aircraft domestically and land it at the nearest airport. Also, notify the local municipal government to prepare for the auxiliary arrest operation!"
Hearing that Sun Liancheng had made such a thorough arrangement, Shen Feng readily agreed, "Okay, I'll make the arrangements."
Shen Feng immediately took out his phone and made a call in front of everyone, ordering without any politeness: "This is Shen Feng. Today, international flight 8690 is carrying major criminals involved in a case. After international flight 8690 takes off, issue an interception order to intercept it within the country's borders and arrange for it to land at the nearest airport."
After hanging up with the air traffic control department, Shen Feng dialed another number. "This is Shen Feng. Based on the existing air routes of international flight 8690, immediately calculate the nearest landing airport and notify the local municipal party committee and relevant airport departments to make necessary preparations."
After ending the call, Shen Feng looked at Sun Liancheng and said with a smile, "Comrade Liancheng, how about we board the plane together and personally arrest Tian Guofu and the others on board?"
Sun Liancheng glanced at Shen Feng and said casually, "You can go, but you have to pay for the plane ticket!"
……
In fact, Sun Liancheng was right. Tian Guofu and the others were indeed very nervous, their minds were on edge, and they were as cautious as startled birds, fearing that this escape abroad was a trap.
Even their positions were very scattered, and they were all located near the door, ready to flee at the slightest disturbance.
However, their worries were clearly unnecessary; everything at the airport was calm and orderly.
It seemed that their arrival did not cause the slightest ripple, as if nothing had happened.
However, Tian Guofu dared not relax his vigilance in the slightest. He had deeply experienced how formidable Sun Liancheng was. As the saying goes, once bitten by a snake, twice shy, he was the best example of this.
As time passed, nothing happened. They went through security with their passports without any problems.
Even after they boarded the plane, Tian Guofu sat there, looking completely bewildered and stunned.
I and sixty-two other members of the organization have successfully boarded the plane and are about to take off, is that right?
wrong!
Something's really wrong!
Everything is going too smoothly!
It didn't feel like an escape; it felt more like a vacation abroad!
How is that possible?
Sun Liancheng knew perfectly well that he had fled to Dongfang City and that he was about to leave the country. How could he not know anything about it? That's unbelievable.
Tian Guofu suddenly turned his head to look at the imposter of Shen Xinghe and said in a deep voice, "Something's not right. All of this is too normal. It makes me feel uneasy. I think it's best to stop the plan and get off the plane immediately."
"Oh..." The imposter of Shen Xinghe was taken aback, then looked at Tian Guofu with a strange expression and asked in a low voice, "Lord Tiger, are you serious? The plane is about to take off, and you're saying you're going to take us off the plane?"
"Isn't this just making things worse? You're practically telling everyone we have a problem!"
The imposter of Shen Xinghe looked at Tian Guofu and whispered reassuringly, "Lord Hu, you don't really need to worry too much. The passports and ID cards that Lin Changhe provided for us are fine, and with the help of the people Lin Changhe arranged, what problems do you think we'll encounter?"
"After all, Lin Changhe is the Party Secretary of Dongfang City. Even if the special investigation team is in Dongfang City, they can't suppress his influence and power, can they?"
Tian Guofu glanced at the closed cabin door and realized that it was impossible to get off the plane now. He muttered to himself, "I hope so. I hope that Lin Changhe, this big tree, can help us escape abroad successfully. It would be worth it for the new life we gave him."
As the plane roared to life and gradually took off, climbing higher and higher until it soared into the sky, Tian Guofu and the others couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
As the plane climbed higher and higher, the heavy weight on their hearts gradually lifted, and according to the timeline, they would be able to leave the country soon.
Then, everything will be completely different!
If you want to arrest them abroad, you need complicated extradition treaties, international procedures, and various restrictions.
In short, the sky is the limit for birds to fly and the sea is the limit for fish to leap.
Only Tian Guofu stared blankly at the white clouds outside the window, lost in thought. Had he really boarded the plane? Had it really taken off?
Was I really wrong?
Or perhaps I really overestimated Sun Liancheng?
Sun Liancheng had no idea where he was; he was just scaring himself.
