"Xie Nan."
"It’s Xie Nan."
The bald man readily named the person behind the scenes, believing that Li Xiaoyao was smart enough not to kill him, because if the plane blew up, everyone would be finished together.
"Xie Nan!" Li Tu’s eyes widened; although he had guessed the answer, hearing it from the bald man gave him a different feeling.
"That’s right, it’s Xie Nan," the bald man said. "Mr. Li, now, can you let me go?"
"Of course, I am a man of my word."
"We can’t let him go," Li Tu said. "We need him as a witness."
Li Xiaoyao shook his head, "No need for that."
"But..."
Li Xiaoyao interrupted him, "Do you think the Li Family would actually punish her if they knew she instigated it? Do you think they could kill her?"
"Kill her... It’s not very likely." Li Tu shook his head as, after all, Xie Nan was still Li Chengfeng’s wife.
"That settles it then. Since we can’t kill her, is there any difference whether we have a witness or not?" Li Xiaoyao waved his hand. "You may go, take your men and leave from the cockpit."
"Okay." The bald man turned and left without hesitation, immediately contacting his companions after going downstairs: "Andy, Mike, leave now, leave now, respond when you receive this."
"Boss, is it taken care of?"
"The target is too strong, we can’t handle him, leave immediately."
"What? Too strong?"
The bald man had already reached the part of the plane where cargo was stored, putting on a parachute while saying, "Karl is dead, we need to leave now."
"Karl is dead?"
Andy and his companion exchanged glances, then quickly said, "We’re on our way."
Li Xiaoyao sat quietly in his seat, as if nothing had happened, but the bloodstains and corpses on the ground made it clear that something terrifying had indeed occurred.
"Just like that, you let them go?" Li Tu still couldn’t understand; he had known Li Xiaoyao for quite some time, had seen his decisive killings, but he had never seen this side of him.
"Let them go? Heh." Li Xiaoyao smiled, not explaining much.
Andy and Mike quickly ran downstairs; the three of them put on parachutes, opened the cargo door, and jumped out.
"Thinking of escaping?" Li Xiaoyao watched from the window as three figures jumped from the plane and quickly distanced themselves from it.
The corners of Li Xiaoyao’s mouth curled up in a cold smile, he shook his head and continued to close his eyes and pretend to sleep.
When the three men descended to about five thousand meters, Li Xiaoyao in the plane suddenly let a smile play on his lips and lightly pinched a spell.
The next moment, the bald man suddenly felt his qi and blood churning inside his body, his face turning red.
His stomach swelled more and more, and his body inflated like a balloon before bursting open loudly, warping the very sky around them.
"Bang!"
The three men were instantly blown to pieces by the force, bursting into the sky like fireworks.
"Hum~"
Even separated by several kilometers, the plane was affected by the explosion, shaking violently, and all the passengers on board trembled with fear once again.
Li Tu looked at the energy generated by the explosion below and asked in confusion, "Did you kill them?"
"They killed themselves, it’s got nothing to do with me."
Li Xiaoyao was indeed vengeful; since they dared to come on the plane to assassinate him, they should have been prepared to be counter-killed.
Initially, he also thought about tying them up to testify, but he quickly dismissed the idea himself.
As he had said, even if the Li family knew Xie Nan wanted him dead, what then? Could Xie Nan be punished?
The answer was no.
So, it was better to hold off for the time being and pretend to be unaware of anything.
Li Xiaoyao would never let go of someone who wanted to kill him. However, necessary restraint was essential; otherwise, recklessness would only lead to his own injury and loss.
As evening approached, the plane safely arrived at Qingyang City in the Taihang Mountains.
Li Chengfeng and Li Yiming came in person to pick up the passengers.
But as soon as the plane glided to a stop, a squad of special police hurried over, causing Li Chengfeng and his companion to frown slightly.
"What’s going on?"
Li Yiming looked at the man beside him and said, "Go and find out what’s happened."
"Certainly, Mr. Li, please wait a moment." The man had considerable political clout and quickly obtained information. He returned and said, "There was an incident on the plane."
"Incident? What kind of incident?" Li Chengfeng’s eyebrows shot up, his eyes widening.
"Four foreign passengers brought guns and blades onto the plane, and one of them inexplicably died."
"The passengers on the plane? Was anyone injured?"

The man shook his head: "Only a stewardess was knocked unconscious, but all other passengers are safe and unharmed."
Li Chengfeng spoke in a heavy tone, "Check into the backgrounds and identities of these four men. They must have had accomplices to bring guns and blades onto a plane. I want a thorough investigation."
With Li Chengfeng’s intelligence, based on this information, he almost immediately guessed who might have sent these four foreigners.
The four foreign men, armed with guns and blades, were clearly mercenaries.
And these mercenaries, appearing on the plane at such a time, one could easily guess who their target was with just their toes.
Li Chengfeng was furious. The young man on the plane could very well be his own son. And now, someone was trying to kill him, right under his own nose.
The cabin door opened, and the special police entered in single file.
Each passenger was checked by the special police before being allowed out one by one.
Eventually, all of the passengers had left the plane.
Two figures slowly emerged from the cabin, with Li Tu in the lead, immediately spotting Li Chengfeng and his company waiting below.
"Clan Leader, Third Elder," Li Tu called out, walking down slowly, revealing Li Xiaoyao behind him.
Li Xiaoyao looked at Li Chengfeng, and Li Chengfeng looked back at him. Their gazes met in midair, and for an instant, Li Xiaoyao felt an illusion, as if he had seen this man somewhere before.
That indescribable sense of familiarity made him somewhat reluctant to let go. Continue your journey at Freewebnovel
Li Chengfeng’s hand tucked beneath his wide sleeve was clenched into a tight fist. Beneath his seemingly serene face, his heart was already quivering with excitement.
He’s my son, he’s my son!
If photos and videos couldn’t confirm it, then at this moment, as he laid eyes on Li Xiaoyao, he was certain: this young man was his son who had been lost for twenty-eight years.
"Are you Li Xiaoyao?"
"Mhm."
"My name is Li Chengfeng, I am the head of the Li Family."
"Mhm."
"You must be tired after a day on the plane, right?"
"Not tired."
"Then... are you hungry?"
"Not hungry."
"Oh." Li Chengfeng found himself at a loss for words for the first time, not knowing what to say; his usual authority was no longer present.
Li Xiaoyao said, "Is there something you need? If not, I’ll be going."
"Since you’re here, come home with me first," Li Chengfeng replied.
"Home?" Li Xiaoyao gave a self-mocking laugh; it was Li Chengfeng’s home, not his own.
