Chapter 223 - Rescue (5)

The pilot wondered as to who had started the engines of that aircraft. He needed space on the runway to take off. Even though the planes very far apart and the fact that the it moving in the same direction as his meant that he would be able to speed the aircraft in no time. But something was wrong.

There was no one on the airfield. Aleksander's body was thrown out of that aircraft. It was lying abandoned. Almost all of Yang Xinyu's men had left in their cars to go back to their countries. Then who was flying the aircraft?

The pilot started running the aircraft on the runway while watching the aircraft in front.

Yang Xinyu was a little anxious about the pilot's directions for the flight and so he decided to join him in the c.o.c.kpit. Wu Lina stopped him and said, "Yang XInyu, please don't go anywhere. Just sit beside me. It is not safe to walk in the aircraft when it is running on the runway."

Yang Xinyu looked at her lovingly and patted her head. He said, "Don't worry, I will be back as soon as possible. I want to be sure that the pilot have the right instructions. After all now only we are left to guide him."

Wu Lina was not ready to let him go. She had gone through so much past few days that she all she needed was Yang Xinyu's proximity. Yang Xinyu understood her very well, but he did not want the last part of the mission to go wrong. So he assured her again and left her to join the pilot.

When he went there, the pilot greeted him and said, "Sir, the aircraft in the front is also moving. I feel something is not right."

When Yang Xinyu saw it, he started putting the pieces of the puzzle together. The aircraft belonged to Vladimir. Who else would have the guts to fly it other than Vladimir and Aleksander? Aleksander was already dead, his body lying on the airstrip in a pool of blood. In that case could it be Vladimir? Yang Xinyu panicked!

He turned towards the pilot and said, "No matter what, you have to take off. Gain as much speed as possible, as there is enough space in front of you to accelerate the aircraft."

The pilot nodded. He was a skillful ex-militia and knew how to work in complicated situations like that. He said, "Okay sir, I would request you to go back to the cabin and fasten your seatbelts."

At first the pilot thought that the plane in front of them would also catch speed to take off, but while he was speeding his aircraft, to his surprise he saw that the plane in front started turning. It had left the airstrip free for them and turned towards the hanger on the adjacent runway. The pilot grinned and increased the speed.

Just as he was about to take off, he saw that that plane was running towards their direction over the rough strip of land that divided the two runways. Yang Xinyu who was watching outside the window was aghast at the sight. He covered Wu Lina's eyes and buried her head in his c.h.e.s.t. He indicated Yan Xiaojun to look outside. Yan Xiaojun was out of his wits.

Yan Xiaojun looked at Rosa and Ivan and a tear dropped out of his eyes. Was this their end? He was so looking forward to his new life with his family. He wanted to marry her in a church there but the circ.u.mstances were so complicated that he had to convince Rosa's father to let her go with him. He promised that the first thing he would do is marry Rosa as soon as they landed in China. Her father had agreed reluctantly and even went on to say that if he didn't hear the news of their marriage within two days, he would personally come and take her back to Bulgaria.

And now the present was so horrifying.

The pilot increased the speed of the aircraft for take off. He saw that the other plane was coming near them and he couldn't do anything more. The aircraft neared the end of the airstrip, and the plane was about a hundred meters away from them.

Vladimir had been running around the entire mansion along with his men to find the infiltrators, however, he couldn't find a trace of anyone. They were all attacking from discreet locations. He was mad at his men for their incompetency. Remembering that he had asked Yan Xiaojun and Zhao Hai xiang to take Wu Lina to his safe chamber, he decided to join them.

His plan was to take Wu Lina out from there and together they would fly to his safe place in Italy. He had called his men and made all arrangement on his private airstrip. Aleksander was also informed of the same.
