Chapter 55

(Seeking recommendation votes)

The first-class cabin was separated from the back by a cabin door. Upon reaching the door, Luo Tai gently knocked a few times. Receiving no response, he knocked again.

The cabin door finally opened slowly, and the sexy flight attendant who had just helped Alice's grandfather stood at the door. She stared at Luo Tai and asked, "Is there something you need?"

Luo Tai looked into her blue eyes and said, "Where is Alice's grandfather?"

The flight attendant sized up Luo Tai, then sneered and said, "A very curious Chinese man... Well, they are inside." She stepped aside, and Luo Tai entered.

Once inside, the flight attendant followed and quickly locked the door behind her.

The first-class cabin was spacious, but only seven passengers were seated. Alice and her grandfather were currently pointing guns at a blonde man in his fifties.

Alice's expression was no longer playful and cute, and her grandfather no longer looked sick; he was full of energy and stood straight.

"Wow! Chinese, how did you get here?" Alice said, pointing her gun at Luo Tai.

"Bang!" Luo Tai was pushed hard by the flight attendant behind him, and he took a few steps forward.

"Hehe, you don't seem scared at all, interesting," Alice sneered.

The seven people in the seats were already trembling, not daring to raise their heads.

"You're not hijacking the plane, are you? Hijacking isn't much fun," Luo Tai asked.

Silence...

"It seems not, just personal grudges," Luo Tai sighed, shrugged, and said, "Then I'm just curious. You... you keep chatting, I'll go back." Luo Tai smiled, but in his heart, he thought, these people are really capable. They managed to bring guns onto the plane, which means this was planned long ago, and the flight attendant must be an insider. However, no matter what, the plane is still flying to the Czech Republic, and he was indeed just looking for trouble out of curiosity!

"Go back?" Alice said coldly, "You can't go back."

As she spoke, her finger prepared to pull the trigger...

"Doing this, you'll regret it," Luo Tai quickly said, "I don't want to kill you."

"Hehe." Alice laughed and said, "Isn't it said that Chinese people don't understand humor? How come you're so funny?" As she spoke, she lowered her gun slightly, apparently preparing to shoot Luo Tai's leg.

"First, I'll cripple you." As she said this, she was about to fire.

At that moment, "whoosh," a pen flew out from Luo Tai's sleeve, straight at Alice's hand. "Zing!" Before Alice could pull the trigger, the pen hit her, its speed exceeding people's imagination.

"Ahh!" Alice's gun fell. The old man, seeing this, quickly aimed his gun at Luo Tai.

"Zing!!" A second pen flew out, knocking the old man's gun away.

At the same time, Luo Tai kicked the sexy flight attendant behind him without even looking, and she fell unconscious. The situation in the first-class cabin was instantly reversed.

Luo Tai slowly walked to Alice, "Ah!" Alice suddenly stood up and kicked Luo Tai in the groin. "Slap slap!" Luo Tai blocked the kick and struck Alice's neck, causing her to faint. Then, he kicked the old man, who was about to charge at him, making him faint as well.

The blonde man in his fifties, trembling, raised his head and looked at Luo Tai, finally saying, "Thank you... thank you... you saved me."

Luo Tai wasn't particularly happy. He shook his head, thinking that this incident was entirely due to his curiosity. He already had enough trouble with the Brotherhood and didn't want to get involved in more trouble in this world.

However, it was too late to think about it now.

"Why do they want to kill you?" Luo Tai asked the man.

"They threatened me to put my fingerprint on a contract," the man replied.

"What contract?"

"The company's share transfer..." the man murmured.

"How much shares are worth all this effort, even colluding with the flight attendant to bring guns onto the plane?" Luo Tai asked curiously.

"1.5 billion US dollars," the man said.

"Do you know these two?" Luo Tai asked.

The man shook his head and said, "I don't know them. They just made me sign and put my fingerprint on the contract. They said if I did as they said, they wouldn't kill me."

Luo Tai looked at the other people and asked, "Are the others from your company?"

"Yes," the man said, "We went to the Czech Republic for negotiations. Since this negotiation was important, we booked the entire first-class cabin. They are my colleagues and assistants..."

Luo Tai slowly bent down, picked up the two guns, and pointed one at the others, saying, "These two won't let you live."

"Why?"

"If they just needed your signature and fingerprint, why did they come to the plane? Wouldn't it be better on the ground?" Luo Tai's mind was racing.

The man was stunned, staring at Luo Tai.

Luo Tai handed the man a gun, but he hesitated to take it, "Quick, trust me. There's a traitor among your assistants, or they are all traitors."

"It's impossible," the man said, wiping the sweat from his forehead.

At this moment, a middle-aged woman in the second row was about to stand up. Luo Tai pointed his gun at her and said, "Stay seated."

The woman sighed and sat back down, her face pale.

"What's your name?" Luo Tai asked the man.

"Lawrence, Lawrence John," the man said.

Luo Tai nodded and said, "I'll help you analyze this for free."

Lawrence nodded and said, "Okay."

"Have you seen the transfer contract?" Luo Tai asked.

"Not yet," Lawrence said.

"Alright, they must have drafted a low-price transfer contract. I don't know the details, but it's definitely for money. First, they wouldn't use guns to kill you on the plane; that would make even the dumbest police officer realize it's a murder," Luo Tai said.

Lawrence frowned and slowly reached out to take the gun from Luo Tai.

"They want your signature and fingerprint, but as I said, this could be done on the ground. Why come to the plane?" Luo Tai said.

Lawrence seemed to understand something and said, "Is it related to this negotiation? We are negotiating the acquisition of a Czech company. If... if they get my shares, they can remove me as CEO, or even... even kick me out of the board..."

Luo Tai, who didn't understand business, shook his head and said, "Don't tell me these things. I'll tell you something straightforward. If I were them, I'd kill you on the plane, but not with a gun!"

"Really?" Lawrence said.

"Are you stupid?" Luo Tai said, "These two threatened you to sign and put your fingerprint, and your colleagues and assistants saw it. Did they just stand there? To get your shares? If they tell the police, the person who planned this would get nothing and be arrested. Is he stupid?"

"You mean these two will kill all seven of us?" Lawrence said, surprised.

"Damn it," Luo Tai used a Chinese phrase, which Lawrence didn't understand. He then said in English, "Killing seven people on a plane? Does the person who planned this want to become a wanted criminal in the whole country?"

"But... but..." Lawrence couldn't speak.

Luo Tai thought for a moment and said, "They will only kill you."

"But my colleagues saw it, didn't you just say that?" Lawrence said.

"What do you think?" Luo Tai coldly looked at the six colleagues sitting in the back.

Lawrence, his voice trembling, said to the woman in the second row, "Mary... do you know what's going on?"

The woman lowered her head and didn't speak.

Lawrence closed his eyes in pain and then shouted at the man next to Mary, "Russo... you damn tell me... do you know?!"

"Enough, John!!" Russo suddenly shouted, "You idiot, we've followed you for so many years. How have you treated us... everything is over... over..." As he spoke, he glared at Luo Tai and shouted, "You damn Chinese, who the hell are you? Who are you? You ruined everything, everything!"

"Bang!"

Luo Tai took two quick steps to Russo and punched him unconscious.

"I hate it when you call me Chinese!" Luo Tai said, shaking his hand.

At this moment, Lawrence was already in tears, clearly understanding everything. It was all planned by his six best colleagues and assistants.

They hired professional killers, Alice and the old man, and coerced him to sign and put his fingerprint on the plane. As Luo Tai said, they would use other means to kill him, making it look like a sudden death, leaving no trace. Since all six betrayed him, there would be no evidence. Then, Russo would take his place in the company.

To set this up, they bribed some airline personnel, including the flight attendant, to bring the guns onto the plane. The guns were to threaten him and as a backup.

Everything seemed perfect, but it all went wrong because of Luo Tai's appearance.

For Luo Tai, this had nothing to do with him. He saved Lawrence purely out of curiosity!

These people were eventually caught at the Czech airport.

Lawrence wanted to give Luo Tai a large sum of money, but Luo Tai politely declined. Luo Tai knew he wouldn't stay in this world for long, and the money here wasn't very useful. Lawrence regarded Luo Tai as his savior and, in Chinese terms, wanted to become his sworn brother. He gave Luo Tai his business card and instructed him to find him when he returned to New York.

During this time, Lawrence kept asking Luo Tai why he could see through Alice and the old man as killers and why he could save him in time.

Luo Tai replied to Lawrence, "Curiosity killed the cat!"

In fact, "curiosity killed the cat" is a Western proverb: "Curiosity killed the cat." According to Western legend, cats have nine lives and can never die, but they ultimately die from their own curiosity, showing how dangerous curiosity can be!

However, despite the danger, Luo Tai didn't die, and this incident earned him 400 points of merit, bringing his total to 528 points, allowing him to draw a prize again.
