Utter Defeat

The 77th man stood up, his gaze devoid of any emotion other than a chilling coldness. "Special Operations Team, Group Three, Zhang Hu!"

"Oh……"

Looking at the 77 people, including men, women, children, the elderly, the weak, the sick, and the disabled, Tian Guofu's mind went blank, and he was momentarily lost and confused.

Is this serious?

Flight 8690 is an international flight on a narrow-body aircraft with a rated capacity of 158 passengers. Excluding the 8 people in first class, that means that apart from our own people, the remaining 73 people in economy class are all members of the action team.

Nima!

Tian Guofu fell silent again!

At that moment, he even felt like dying!

escape?

What's the point of running away?!

Apart from myself and the other 73 people on the entire flight, everyone else on the plane was a member of the task force that was there to arrest me. Was there any point in continuing to escape?

As for resistance?

Tian Guofu had never even dared to consider this immature idea. Now that things had come to this, how could he possibly resist?

To send our old, frail bodies to fight against a battle-hardened task force? To describe us as "throwing eggs against rocks" would be an understatement.

The main thing is that Tian Guofu also realized something else: Sun Liancheng let him on the plane not only to disgust him, but also to trap him like a turtle in a jar.

There's nowhere to run!

There's nowhere to run!

Taking hostages? There are no hostages, only members of the special operations team. Go ahead and take them if you can.

This not only disgusted him, but also eliminated all his chances of escape, trapping him like a turtle in a jar, wiping him out in one fell swoop.

Just as Tian Guofu's heart sank into an icy abyss, misfortune never comes singly. A sweet female voice came over the loudspeaker again, "Dear passengers, due to special circumstances, this flight will soon be returning to its origin. The crew expresses its sincerest apologies for any inconvenience caused to you."

"After returning to the departure airport, passengers can go to the service hall to get a refund or rebook their tickets. The crew thanks you for your cooperation, understanding and support."

Hearing those words, "sincere apologies," over the loudspeaker, Tian Guofu finally lost his composure. His face turned a deep purplish-red, and he nearly coughed up blood.

Are you sure this broadcast is for real?

Is there still a need for broadcasting?

Aside from the 73 people I organized myself, the rest of the people on the plane were from the action team. The return flight was planned in advance, so who should I apologize to?

Should I apologize to myself?

Does an apology help?

What's the use of apologizing when you've already ruined your own life?

To Tian Guofu, this routine broadcast sounded less like an apology and more like sarcasm and ridicule!

Catching a turtle in a jar!

She was mocking herself for being a "turtle"!

Tian Guofu's face turned extremely ugly. He was so angry that he was trembling all over, his teeth were almost ground to powder, and his eyes revealed a fierce and hateful glint.

He doesn't agree!

He is not willing!

I clearly did nothing wrong. Every step, every choice, every decision was the optimal solution after careful consideration.

Tian Guofu couldn't understand why.

Why did I end up failing miserably?

Is Sun Liancheng really that amazing?

In Handong Province, he had clearly fooled Sun Liancheng by pretending to be crazy and using Sun Liancheng as a pawn, so why did he lose so completely this time?

Tian Guofu couldn't understand it, and he couldn't comprehend it at all. He clearly had thirteen members of the Dongguang Provincial Party Committee in his hands, and even had Yuan Hui, a hidden pawn who had been lurking for thirty years.

How did such a winning hand end up like this?

However, Tian Guofu knew very well that the one who caused all these tragic consequences was none other than Sun Liancheng!

His menacing gaze swept across the surroundings, and Tian Guofu couldn't help but roar, "Sun Liancheng! Get out here! Do you think you've really won by capturing us? Wishful thinking, a pipe dream!"

"Even if we lose, you won't win. You don't know how powerful the organization behind me is; you've only seen the tip of the iceberg."

"you……"

Tian Guofu was about to say something when he was interrupted by a loud round of applause. Sun Liancheng walked out of the first-class cabin clapping, accompanied by Shen Feng, the head of the special task force, and Li Yunfei, the other head of the task force.

Sun Liancheng looked at Tian Guofu with a smile and asked meaningfully, "Tian Guofu, you say that my arrest doesn't count as a victory? You say I didn't know how powerful the organization behind you was? You even say I only saw the tip of the iceberg?"

"You're a prisoner now, and you still dare to yell at me? What are you relying on? What gives you your confidence? Who gave you that self-assurance?"

"Is it them?" Sun Liancheng said, taking the tablet computer from Shen Feng beside him and handing it to Tian Guofu.

Tian Guofu did not reach out to take the tablet computer, but immediately saw the photo on the tablet computer. Six people in prison uniforms stood in a row, holding up signs on their chests.

These six people are none other than Shen Feng, Li Yunfei, Gao Yuliang, Fang Ren, Ge Zhong, and Zhang Han!

He had previously created false identities for them, allowing the six of them to scatter and escape while he fled abroad to draw attention to them, and then reunite in Qingcheng City.

But now things are different. He hasn't even been caught yet, but all six of them have already been arrested and changed into prison uniforms.

Upon realizing the true identities of these six men, Tian Guofu was utterly terrified. He snatched the tablet from Sun Liancheng's hand and shook his head repeatedly, saying, "Impossible! This is impossible! How could they all be captured? How could not a single one escape?"

"I clearly gave them fake identities, arranged unlicensed taxis for them, and specifically instructed them to escape during our boarding period. How could they all have been wiped out?"

Sun Liancheng looked calmly at Tian Guofu, a playful smile playing on his lips. "Tian Guofu, you're not afraid of them being arrested, are you? You're worried that their true identities will be exposed, causing irreparable damage to your organization's final plan."

"Am I right?"

Sun Liancheng's words were like an extremely sharp knife, deeply piercing Tian Guofu's heart, causing him to catch his breath.

The next second, he abruptly looked up at Sun Liancheng, his eyes filled with disbelief. "You...you know who they really are? You...you...you even know our organization's ultimate plan?"

Faced with the panicked Tian Guofu, Sun Liancheng didn't answer the question, but instead uttered two words mockingly, "Guess whether I know or not?"

Tian Guofu narrowed his eyes, meeting Sun Liancheng's deep, ocean-like gaze. He didn't guess; he was afraid!

He was afraid that Sun Liancheng knew nothing and was just bluffing!

He changed the subject, no longer mentioning the organization's ultimate plan, but instead asked the question that had been bothering him: "Sun Liancheng, I'm not surprised that you know we're going to flee abroad, but I just can't understand it."

Tian Guofu pointed at the 77 special operations team members and asked in surprise, "How could you possibly know in advance which flight I was taking and change the passengers to special operations team members beforehand?"

"There's simply no time to arrange a schedule for these 77 people, but I can't possibly know which flight I'm taking before I've even decided to escape, can I?"

"Haha..." Sun Liancheng looked at Tian Guofu and said seriously, "Who said I knew in advance which flight you were taking? I didn't know. I was able to arrange the members of the action team in advance because of an anonymous tip-off letter."
