Chapter 344: Chapter 343: Jiang Cheng’s Slick Maneuvering (9)

The only thing we can hope for now is that there are no casualties on the plane and that it can safely land at the airport!

Suddenly, a phone call came to a staff member’s cell phone at the airport. The ringtone was quite loud, which gave a scare to the leaders nearby!

What a mess, having a phone on during work hours! A leader, already extremely irritable, frowned and scolded upon hearing the staff member’s ringtone. The staff member repeatedly apologized, took out the phone, and wanted to answer it. But when she saw the name displayed on the screen, her mouth dropped open in shock.

Leader, leader, the woman said, trembling with excitement, calling to the leader beside her.

What is it? The leader asked, not in a good mood.

It’s a call from a flight attendant on the missing aircraft!

She’s my friend, and by the looks of it, the plane is probably not far from landing, so her phone has a signal! The woman said excitedly, then picked up the phone and answered it.

What?

Upon hearing the woman’s words, the leader was also extremely happy. A flight attendant on the plane called, doesn’t that mean they can know about the situation on the plane?

”Put it on speaker!” He shouted to the woman, and then said to the people around him, ”A flight attendant on the plane made a call, you all come listen to the situation!

Everyone around started gathering to listen carefully to what the flight attendant was saying.

”Is this the ground? We... here... is Air China flight XX!” The flight attendant said over the phone, but possibly because of a bad signal, her voice sounded intermittent.

Cut the crap, quickly ask her to explain the situation on the plane! The airport head immediately shouted anxiously to the woman, now the only important thing was to understand the situation of the plane.

The woman glanced at the head, immediately shouted into the phone, ”Alright! It’s good people are alive! How’s the plane’s condition? The situation... doesn’t look good! We encountered a serious hijacking incident, six hijackers sneaked onto the plane, they’ve been subdued, but both pilots have perished and some passengers and flight attendants are dead!” The flight attendant said, almost crying.

What?” The leaders almost felt the sky was about to fall when they heard the word hijack.

Hijacking is a terribly severe accident, and the flight attendant also said a lot of people died, so the leaders of Air China will definitely be held responsible!

If both pilots are dead, who is piloting the plane then? The airport head said gloomily, after a deep breath.

The others were also full of doubts!

Hearing what the airport head said, everyone present realized the critical situation.

The flight attendant said in the phone call that both pilots had died, that means there was no one on the plane to fly it, so who was flying the plane now?

They all had some knowledge of the pilot profession. Flying an airliner required a lot of experience, it was countless times harder than driving a car. With both pilots dead, the plane should have crashed by now, how was it heading towards the airport!

Could a professionally trained hijacker be flying the plane, attempting to orchestrate a terrorist event?

Some couldn’t help but have this chilling thought, who else could fly the plane when the pilots were dead?

But, as the flight attendant said, the six hijackers were already subdued, so who could be flying the plane!

The woman on the phone with the flight attendant yelled towards her phone, ”Then who is flying the plane now?”

The flight attendant said, ”The one flying the plane now is Teacher Jiang Cheng. I’m not sure how much experience he has in flying an airliner, but we can already see the airport now!

”Teacher Jiang Cheng, which Teacher Jiang Cheng, is this a famous domestic airline pilot, why is he on the plane.” A leader at Air China shouted into the woman’s phone, not recognizing the name Jiang Cheng.

The others fell silent upon hearing the name Jiang Cheng. Of course, they knew who Jiang Cheng was. Wasn’t he the one who was recently popular online, who launched the Transparent Phone and researched the smog-curing bacteria. But how well could he fly a plane? The rational airport head asked. Although he didn’t believe that Jiang Cheng, a mobile phone maker and researcher, could understand flying a plane, he still asked.

”I don’t know... Anyway, the autopilot is broken, and Jiang Cheng seems to be doing well.” The flight attendant’s voice was intermittent, then the phone went silent, probably due to no signal!

Beep beep!

Listening to the sound coming from the woman’s phone, these leaders at the airport and the heads all fell into silence.

Letting Jiang Cheng, a company’s chairman, fly the plane, isn’t this a joke of jokes? But apparently, other than him, there might be no one on the plane who could pilot it!

Piloting a commercial airliner requires a great amount of experience and professional training, it’s not something that can be done just like that!

Is there still a connection? Hello? Hello?” One Air China leader snatched the woman’s phone, shouting into it. Blood was boiling inside him, letting Jiang Cheng, a researcher, or a company owner, pilot a plane, this was simply the most absurd of jokes!

”Haha, I guess we’ll all be resigning over this crash incident. Prepare for a way out in the future!” A leader patted the shoulder of another leader nearby, their face darkened with the thought of what may happen next.

The leader who was patted didn’t look any better. A non-professional piloting a plane, anyone could imagine the consequences, what they could do was find a way to mitigate the losses!

But, mitigate losses? With what could they mitigate losses? Could a few more ambulances or fire trucks save the lives of those hundreds of passengers on the plane?

At this time, the other leaders all felt their minds were a mess, completely dumbfounded. The flight attendant said over the phone that the plane’s autopilot system had already failed, only Jiang Cheng could manually operate it now, how should they land when the time comes?

You need to know that landing an airplane is a step that pilots without years of experience can’t handle, let alone Jiang Cheng, a complete amateur.

If Jiang Cheng brought out an astonishing scientific achievement, they might believe it, but saying Jiang Cheng could fly a plane, they really couldn’t imagine that scene!
