I put you in charge of the child, and you raised a monster!

Yang Mi's expression changed slightly.

Zhao Lei, who had originally wanted to join in the fun, immediately lowered his voice upon hearing this.

"Teacher Ling'er, don't scare me!"

Shen Ling'er glanced at him.

"I haven't finished speaking yet."

Zhao Lei immediately shut up.

Shen Ling'er continued, "Those two uncles behind him kept looking at him."

"It's not out of curiosity, it's waiting for an opportunity."

Zhao Lei felt a chill run down his spine.

"Could it be a bodyguard?"

Shen Ling'er shook her head.

"When the bodyguards are looking at people, they'll also check the exits and passageways around them. They only look at the boxes."

She paused, then added, "And one of them had such a steady hand, like he'd been holding something dangerous before."

As soon as those words were spoken...

Yang Mi's expression became completely serious.

She didn't immediately alert anyone, but gently took Shen Ling'er's small hand.

"Ling'er, don't move."

Shen Ling'er nodded.

"I know."

Available in the next second.

A low, sharp rebuke in English suddenly came from ahead.

The man sitting diagonally behind him suddenly stood up.

At the same time, another man got up from his seat and reached out to lift his coat.

A section of black metal was visible inside.

Someone in the cabin screamed instantly.

The flight attendant's face turned pale, and before she could even speak, one of them hissed, "Sit down! All of you!"

The atmosphere instantly plummeted from calm to freezing.

Zhao Lei froze.

Bai Sisi instinctively hugged Zhao Mengmeng tightly.

Zhou Chen immediately pulled Zhou Xiaoyu into his arms.

Chen Hao and Lin Jia also sandwiched Chen Doudou in the middle.

The back row of the directing team was deathly silent. The camera equipment had already been ordered to be turned off, and no one dared to make any rash moves.

Yang Mi held Shen Ling'er tightly in his arms, his face pale, but he tried his best to remain calm.

The two men had a very clear objective.

They didn't rob passengers, nor did they look at other people.

One of them walked directly up to the man in the suit, pressed the muzzle of his gun down, and forced him to hand over the briefcase.

The man in the suit was pale, but his hand was still gripping the box tightly.

"no."

His Chinese was a bit broken, but it was understandable.

"I can't give this to you."

The man gave a cold laugh and said a few words in English.

The accompanying translator turned pale and whispered to Zhao Lei, "They said... there are core technical documents in that box."

"They want this person to hand over the unlock key."

Zhao Lei's throat moved.

"Core technology?"

The translator's voice trembled: "It seems to be data from some kind of advanced communication encryption chip."

"That person should be the technical lead."

Zhao Lei felt a chill run down his spine.

This is no longer an ordinary hijacking.

This is a targeted kidnapping.

One of the thugs controlled the aisle, while the other pressured the man in the suit.

There seemed to be accomplices at the front of the cabin, and there were also urgent noises coming from the cockpit.

Soon, a strange man's voice came over the loudspeaker.

"Everyone, sit still and don't move."

"We only care about the goods, not our lives."

"Anyone who resists will bear the consequences."

A suppressed sob filled the cabin.

Zhao Mengmeng turned pale with fright.

Zhou Xiaoyu's eyes were already brimming with tears.

Even though Chen Doudou usually craves food, she didn't dare to speak at this moment, only tightly clutching Lin Jia's clothes.

Zhao Lei whispered, "It's over, this time it's really serious."

As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Ling'er suddenly reached out and gently patted the back of Yang Mi's hand.

Yang Mi lowered his head and spoke very softly.

"Ling'er?"

Shen Ling'er raised her small face.

She didn't look flustered.

There is a kind of calmness that doesn't belong to a five-year-old.

"Mom, don't be afraid."

Yang Mi's heart tightened.

"Ling'er, don't do anything reckless."

Shen Ling'er nodded seriously.

"I won't do anything reckless."

She looked at the two thugs in front of her, then at the aisle, the dining car, the luggage compartment, the flight attendant station, and the technical manager holding the briefcase.

Then she lowered her voice and said to the people around her:

"Everyone, please don't panic."

"What they want most right now is the box and that uncle, not us."

"As long as we don't provoke them, they won't fire indiscriminately for the time being."

Zhao Lei's lips were a little dry.

"Teacher Ling'er, do you...do you have a way?"

Shen Ling'er nodded gently.

"have."

Zhao Lei's eyes lit up, but he didn't dare to speak loudly.

"What method?"

Shen Ling'er looked at the food carts in the aisle.

Then he looked at the glass of water that Zhao Lei hadn't finished drinking.

Finally, she slowly closed her little ledger.

"There's not much stuff on the plane, so I need to borrow something."

Bai Sisi's voice trembled.

"Borrow what?"

Shen Ling'er spoke calmly, yet her words were perfectly clear.

"Borrow the food cart, hot water, blankets, and Uncle Zhao Lei."

Zhao Lei was taken aback.

"what?"

Shen Ling'er looked at him.

"Didn't you say you were going to be a quiet fan today?"

Zhao Lei nodded stiffly.

"Yes...yes."

Shen Ling'er said earnestly, "We don't need to be quiet now."

Zhao Lei: "..."

At this moment, he was almost left speechless, both amused and exasperated by those words.

Shen Ling'er continued in a low voice, "Wait a minute, you're going to make a fuss."

Zhao Lei swallowed hard.

"Why are you making noise?"

Shen Ling'er looked ahead.

"Just like usual."

Zhao Lei: "..."

Bai Sisi: "..."

Zhou Chen and Chen Hao both looked at Zhao Lei.

Zhao Lei's lips twitched.

People usually find him noisy.

Now we actually have to rely on his arguing to save our lives?

Shen Ling'er said, word by word, "They were very nervous and focused on the box."

"They will definitely be distracted if someone suddenly creates reasonable chaos."

"Just one second of distraction is enough."

Zhao Lei's voice was weak.

"Teacher Ling'er, are you sure one second is enough?"

Shen Ling'er glanced at him.

"You used to freeze in shock after I hurt you, even for half a second."

Zhao Lei: "..."

What time is it?!

And he didn't forget to deliver the final blow!

For some reason, after Shen Ling'er said that, Zhao Lei was no longer as panicked as before.

Yang Mi whispered, "Ling'er, it's too dangerous."

Shen Ling'er squeezed her mother's hand.

"Mom, I won't rush over there."

"I'm just letting them make a mess of things."

After she finished speaking, she gently pointed to the position of the thugs in front of her.

"The uncle standing in the aisle has a slight limp in his left leg, and he puts all his weight on his right leg."

"If the food cart slides past from the side, his reaction time will be slower than normal."

"The other uncle who was pointing a gun at the box had his fingers very tight, which showed that he was afraid of failure. He would subconsciously turn around as soon as he heard something happen behind him."

"They're not here to fight; they're here to take things."

"People who want to take something are afraid that things will become complicated."

Zhao Lei felt a chill run down his spine.

Bai Sisi murmured softly, "She can see so clearly even at a time like this..."

Zhou Chen's eyes were serious.

"Don't forget, when she watched the game, she was focused on why people were running and why they were in such a hurry."

Chen Hao lowered his voice: "What she's looking at now is why they're afraid."

Inside the cabin, the perpetrators were still interrogating the technical lead.

The man in the suit was covered in sweat, but he still gritted his teeth and refused to give in.

"The key is not in the box."

"Even if you take it, you won't be able to open it."

The thug's face turned grim.

His patience was clearly wearing thin.

Shen Ling'er glanced at it and whispered, "We can't wait any longer."

"He's starting to get anxious."

Zhao Lei took a deep breath.

"I'll listen to you."

Shen Ling'er nodded.

"Don't move yet."

She turned to look at the flight attendant next to her.

The flight attendant was already pale with fright, but she still tried her best to remain calm.

Shen Ling'er asked in a very low voice, "Sister, where are the brakes on the food cart?"

The flight attendant was taken aback.

Shen Ling'er added, "If you don't tell us, we're in even more danger."

The flight attendant's throat moved slightly, and she pointed very quietly to the area under the dining car.

"Left side...bottom."

Shen Ling'er nodded.

"it is good."

She then looked at Zhao Lei.

"When I say 'the water spilled,' you stand up, pretend to be burned, and shout loudly."

Zhao Lei's expression was complicated.

"What are you shouting for?"

Shen Ling'er thought for a moment.

"Calling you the one who shouts the most."

Zhao Lei: "..."

This evaluation doesn't sound like a compliment at all.

But he was unable to refute it.

Shen Ling'er then whispered to Chen Hao, "Uncle Chen Hao, when he calls, throw the blanket into the aisle."

Chen Hao nodded, his expression tense.

"clear."

"Uncle Zhou Chen, hold Sister Xiaoyu tight and don't let her get scared and startle her."

Zhou Chen nodded.

"rest assured."

"Aunt Bai, cover Mengmeng's ears."

Bai Sisi's eyes reddened, but she immediately nodded.

"it is good."

Finally, Shen Ling'er looked at Yang Mi.

"Mom, just hold me."

Yang Mi's voice trembled slightly.

"Ling'er..."

Shen Ling'er looked at her and softened her tone a little.

"Mom, I'll be alright."

I promise you.

Yang Mi's eyes were slightly red, but she still nodded.

She knew her daughter wasn't reckless.

Shen Ling'er may seem arrogant at first glance, but when she's truly in danger, she's actually calmer than anyone else.

Ahead, the assailant had already grabbed the technical supervisor by the collar.

"The last time."

"Key".

The technical lead was pale, but still shook his head.

The thug's eyes hardened, and he slightly raised the weapon in his hand.

That is, in this very instant.

Shen Ling'er spoke softly:

"The water spilled."

Zhao Lei reacted almost instinctively.

He suddenly stood up, spilled the water glass in his hand on himself, and then let out an extremely exaggerated scream.

"Ouch!!!"

"It's burning me!!!"

"My pants! My legs! My highlight of life!"

That shout was on par with variety shows.

Everyone in the cabin was startled.

Even the two thugs instinctively turned around.

"Shut up!"

The thugs in the corridor were about to turn around and shout at them.

Chen Hao had already thrown the blanket into the middle of the aisle, just as Shen Ling'er had instructed.

At the same time, the flight attendant gritted her teeth, raised her foot, and gently kicked the brakes off the food cart.

The food cart slid forward abruptly due to the slight turbulence of the plane and the slope of the aisle.

The speed wasn't fast.

But the angle was extremely accurate.

It struck the side of the thug's calf, who had a slight limp in his left leg.

boom!

The assailant lost his balance instantly.

He instinctively reached out to steady the seat.

Just as his weapon veered away, the blanket wrapped around his foot.

He fell directly into the aisle.

Exclamations erupted in the cabin.

The other assailant heard the noise and turned around abruptly.

In that one second of distraction...

The technical lead suddenly smashed the briefcase hard against his wrist.

The muzzle deflected.

Shen Ling'er's eyes lit up.

"Now!"

A tall male passenger in the front row, who was clearly already at his limit, instinctively lunged forward upon hearing the sound.

Another passenger rushed over as well.

The two of them worked together to pin the assailant down between the seats.

The thug who fell in the aisle tried to get up, but his leg got stuck in the food cart. Zhao Lei, screaming in pain, "accidentally" pounced on him and pinned him down.

"oops!"

"I can't stand up!"

"I didn't mean to!"

Zhao Lei was pressed down on the thug like a big blanket.

The assailant's face was deformed from being pressed down.

Watching this scene, Shen Ling'er couldn't help but comment:

"Uncle Zhao Lei, your argument was very effective this time."

Zhao Lei lay on top of the thug, his voice almost crying.

"Teacher Ling'er! Is this considered a formal praise?"

Shen Ling'er nodded.

"Calculate."

Zhao Lei almost burst into tears.

"I received the highest recognition at the scene of the hijacking!"

Yang Mi: "..."

Bai Sisi: "..."

Zhou Chen: "..."

What time is it, and he still remembers this!

However, the cabin, which was extremely tense, surprisingly relaxed a little because of Zhao Lei's words.

Soon, the flight crew security personnel and several passengers worked together to rush out and completely subdue the two assailants.

There was also movement coming from the cockpit ahead.

Clearly, there were more than two accomplices.

The captain's calm but tense voice soon came over the loudspeaker.

"Passengers, please remain calm."

"The crew is handling the emergency."

"Please remain seated."

Shen Ling'er sat back in Yang Mi's lap.

Yang Mi held her tightly, his hands still trembling.

"Ling'er..."

Shen Ling'er looked up and reached out to touch the back of her mother's hand.

"Mom, I told you I wouldn't do anything reckless."

Yang Mi's eyes immediately reddened.

"You scared your mother to death."

Shen Ling'er thought about it seriously.

"Then I'll explain in more detail next time."

Yang Mi felt like crying and laughing at the same time.

There will be no next time.

Shen Ling'er nodded.

"That would be best."

Zhao Lei was helped up by the crew. His pants were soaked, his hair was a mess, and he looked extremely disheveled.

But there was a strange sense of pride on his face.

Bai Sisi quickly asked, "Are you alright?"

Zhao Lei shook his head.

"fine."

He looked at Shen Ling'er and lowered his voice.

"Teacher Ling'er, how did I do just now?"

Shen Ling'er said earnestly, "Very good."

Zhao Lei's eyes instantly turned red.

"real?"

"real."

Shen Ling'er nodded.

"You're always making noise, you're just causing trouble."

"The argument just now was a tactic."

Zhao Lei: "..."

Bai Sisi was initially very worried, but upon hearing this, she immediately burst into laughter through her tears.

"That assessment is incredibly accurate."

Chen Hao also breathed a sigh of relief.

"Zhao Lei, you've finally put your talent to good use."

Zhou Chen rarely joked: "The production team can give you a new job experience in the future."

Zhao Lei asked, "What?"

Shen Ling'er continued.

"Bait".

Zhao Lei: "..."

Several passengers in the cabin who understood Chinese couldn't help but laugh out loud.

The tense atmosphere finally eased a little.

But the crisis is not over yet.

The crew at the front are still dealing with their accomplices.

The technical manager walked over carrying a box, his face pale, but his eyes were full of shock as he looked at Shen Ling'er.

"Just now... was this something you arranged?"

Shen Ling'er glanced at him.

"You're making it too obvious that you're carrying the suitcase."

The technical lead was stunned.

"What?"

Shen Ling'er said seriously, "If you don't want others to know that the box is important, then don't keep touching the combination lock."

"The more you touch it, the more the bad guys will know that this thing cannot be lost."

Technical lead: "..."

Zhao Lei whispered from the side, "After saving the plane, Teacher Ling'er also took the opportunity to give counter-surveillance training to national-level technical personnel."

Shen Ling'er looked at him.

"I was just reminding him not to be so obvious next time."

The technical lead gave a wry smile, then said to her with utmost seriousness:

"Thank you."

Shen Ling'er nodded.

Don't thank me too soon.

Everyone was taken aback.

Shen Ling'er looked towards the front of the cabin, lowering her voice even further.

"There are still people who haven't been caught."
