Extreme Almightiest Young Master

Chapter 909: Yes, Shen Tian!

"Boss, something has happened, I don’t know what’s going on, but there’s a problem with the plane’s satellite guidance, what should we do?" The man who ran out said in a panic, as nobody had expected that there would be a problem with the plane’s satellite guidance system. How could he not be flustered?

"How could this happen? Wasn’t the plane checked before it took off? How could such a situation arise?" Upon hearing what his subordinate said, Yang Shu felt very puzzled, thinking to himself that the plane had been specially checked before departure. How could it have a problem midway through the flight? It was too much of a coincidence. Could his subordinates have made a mistake?

"Boss, it’s true. Just now, the satellite guidance system malfunctioned and suddenly sounded the alarm. Then it stopped working. Now we can only control it manually." Hearing what Yang Shu said, the subordinate immediately explained on the side. This was an extremely helpless situation. Now there was a real problem. It wasn’t a mistake on his part. No one expected that the satellite guidance system would fail midway through the flight.

"Then control it manually. As long as we can make it back to our place, that’s all that matters." Yang Shu was somewhat reassured upon hearing that the plane could still be controlled. Such a situation was manageable. Wasn’t it still possible to manually fly back to the intended location? As long as they could return to their planned location, wouldn’t that be enough? Perhaps the plane really suffered some unexpected failure, and they just happened to encounter it. Since this issue had arisen, they could only deal with it accordingly.

"Boss, we can control it manually, but we will definitely deviate from the flight path. If the fuel on the plane isn’t enough, we’ll have to make an emergency landing. I wanted to inform you in advance. Without satellite guidance, nobody can control the deviation from the flight path." The subordinate shared his difficulty with Yang Shu, saying that at present, he could only try to minimize the deviation. Beyond that, he could not guarantee anything. If they really had to make an emergency landing, he just hoped the boss wouldn’t hold it against him.

"Okay, as long as you can make it back, that’s fine. If it really comes to it, losing the plane is not an issue. Go ahead and do it." Yang Shu waved his hand, indicating that the subordinate should hurry back to the cockpit to pilot the plane. He understood what his subordinate had explained. In such a situation, there really weren’t many options to handle this matter. They would have to take each step as it came.

However, at that moment, a wave of suspicion suddenly rose in Yang Shu’s heart. For some reason, he felt that the situation wasn’t that simple. Why he had such a feeling, Yang Shu didn’t know. After thinking about it, since the plane had always been in their hands and no outsider had touched it, it could only have been a coincidence that such a thing happened. With that thought, Yang Shu felt relieved. Perhaps it was just bad luck to run into such an event, and there was nothing they could do about it.

"Okay, boss, I’ll head back now." The subordinate, hearing what Yang Shu said, quickly returned to the cockpit to pilot the plane, but as soon as he entered the cockpit, he saw fighter jets suddenly appearing outside. The sight left the subordinate baffled: how could their private plane be targeted by fighter jets? What... what... what was going on? Without time to think further, the subordinate shouted to Yang Shu, who was still inside the cabin.

"Boss, fighter jets have suddenly appeared outside and surrounded us!" The subordinate said, more frantically now. It was no surprise he spoke that way. After all, they were in a private plane with no defensive capabilities. If the fighter jets wanted to do something to them, even though they were martial experts, they wouldn’t stand a chance at thousands of meters in the air.

"Fighter jets? What the hell is happening? Quickly make contact with them and find out what’s going on!" Hearing his subordinate shouting about fighter jets made Yang Shu’s heart skip a beat. He was also worried about one thing: all of his subordinates were real experts, unstoppable on land. But now, thousands of meters up in the air at this moment, if they were hit by fighter jets, it wouldn’t matter how powerful they were; they wouldn’t survive. How would he seek revenge then?

Thinking this, Yang Shu couldn’t control himself any longer and shouted at his subordinates, thinking that fighter jets had appeared and they hadn’t immediately asked for the other side’s intentions. If they were misunderstood, wouldn’t that be seeking death? Wasn’t that obvious, as dumb as pigs!

Once the subordinate heard what Yang Shu said, he immediately calmed down and, following Yang Shu’s instructions, contacted the fighter jets. Eventually, they figured out why they were being surrounded: several countries were conducting a joint military exercise, and all the airspace ahead was completely blocked off. Not just here, either; this time the entire Southeast Asia region was involved in the joint exercise. That meant, with the exception of Huaxia Country’s airspace, all other airspace was already blocked. They were also warned not to continue flying forward; otherwise, their plane would be shot down.

"Boss, they said that all the airspace ahead is being used for an exercise, and they won’t let us continue flying forward. According to them, the only airspace not blocked is Huaxia Country’s. We can only turn back to Huaxia Country now. But the problem, boss, is that we don’t have enough fuel to make it back to Huaxia Country. What... what should we do?"

The subordinate was even more anxious now. Their present situation was truly not good. Flying forward was not possible, and flying back was even less so. What... what to do? Could they really have to fly into the sea...

"Didn’t you tell them about our current situation, that we only have enough fuel to make it back to Jil Island? Ask them to give us a break." When Yang Shu heard this, he too was stunned. He hadn’t anticipated such a situation, which added to his frustration. What on earth was happening today? How could all this be happening? First, the satellite guidance system of the plane developed a problem, and then they encountered a joint exercise out of nowhere. What the hell was going on? This was far too coincidental!

"Boss, I told them, but they said it doesn’t matter what we do; they just follow orders..." The subordinate hurriedly responded to Yang Shu’s words. How could he not communicate this matter with the other party? But they simply didn’t give them a chance, and he was at a complete loss.

"This..."

Upon hearing his subordinate’s explanation, Yang Shu grew even more suspicious. Something about today’s events felt wrong to him. Everything that had happened was too out of the ordinary. The other party’s actions were utterly unreasonable; such a situation couldn’t possibly arise. If they were to return to Huaxia as demanded, they could not possibly fly inland. How could the other party disregard human life so carelessly? It simply didn’t make sense. What on earth did they mean?

Logically speaking, even if various countries joined for a military exercise, they wouldn’t do this. Sending several fighter jets after a private plane was unheard of. Furthermore, the idea that Southeast Asian nations would arrange a joint military exercise was preposterous. Everyone knew the relations between these countries—getting them to train together was almost an impossibility. And there was another thing: if there really were a joint military exercise happening, why hadn’t he received a notice from air traffic control from the start? Why had it only arrived when he got to this location? Such things don’t just happen!

Yang Shu’s expression darkened. By now, if he didn’t understand what was happening, he would be a fool. He guessed that this situation was certainly orchestrated by someone, with the likely aim of forcing them to return. According to the others, the fighter jets wouldn’t harm them only if they turned back. If they really followed these instructions, then upon returning to Yuegang, Shen Tian would undoubtedly be overjoyed!

Right, Shen Tian!

It must be Shen Tian!

It must be Shen Tian who had found some powerful connections!

...

Suddenly, Yang Shu felt as if he understood everything. All the current clues pointed to one thing: it must be Shen Tian who had managed to enlist the help of influential connections, getting the Southeast Asian military involved, intending to force their return to Yuegang. Otherwise, such an event—it was completely irrational to have a surprise military drill—could only be Shen Tian’s doing.

But thinking this far, Yang Shu felt that Shen Tian being capable of such a feat seemed unlikely. Although Shen Tian was powerful and wealthy, mobilizing the military fighter jets of Southeast Asian nations was stretching believability. Shen Tian was just a businessman; it would defy common sense for him to have connections with the military apparatus of these countries, much less the authority to mobilize fighter jets.

Then... what was really going on? Who had sent the fighter jets to force their return?

Yang Shu reviewed all of Shen Tian’s known associates and still found no one with such capability. In his quest for revenge over the years, he had researched Shen Tian so thoroughly it was almost exhaustive, and none of his connections seemed capable of liaising with military forces. So, whose doing was this?

All of a sudden, Yang Shu thought of the one person he had overlooked: Lin Feng. Lin Feng was the only one not mentioned in the information, and remembering Lin Feng’s earlier words, he instantly felt something was amiss. Now, he was almost certain that all of this was Lin Feng’s doing. Besides the unpredictable variable of Lin Feng, nobody else could have such capacity. What Lin Feng had done was beyond imagination. Without a doubt, he was forcing their return, and Yuegang was already a spider’s web waiting for their arrival!

If Lin Feng could communicate with the military forces of Southeast Asia, then it was even more likely that he could liaise with the military of Huaxia Country. This was entirely plausible!
