"Distinguished guests, welcome to Kunyang Taoyuan International Airport. For safety reasons, please keep your seatbelts fastened until the seatbelt sign has been turned off..."
A criminal incident had occurred on the plane. As soon as the plane came to a halt, a group of police officers boarded and took control of the situation.
Su He opened the cockpit door, with three police officers standing outside, guns drawn and pointed at him.
"I'm Hou Guangyi, Captain of the Taipei City Criminal Police Brigade. Please cooperate and come with us!"
Su He had anticipated this scene and slowly raised his hands as he walked out.
"Officer, could you please grab my luggage for me..."
At the police station, Su He calmly recounted the events, and the officer did not question him but did not allow him to leave either.
While Su He was having tea at the police station, the internet had already exploded with news.
An hour earlier, the Civil Aviation Administration had issued an emergency bulletin stating that a flight from the capital to Kunyang had encountered an incident, deviating from its planned route and rapidly descending.
However, the Air Traffic Control Bureau had been unable to establish contact with the flight crew. Fifty-eight seconds later, the plane had gradually returned to normal and continued its journey.
At this point, the Air Traffic Control Bureau was still unable to reach the crew, and it took four minutes and twenty-six seconds before communication was restored.
What exactly had happened?
With no follow-up reports, netizens began speculating wildly. However, an hour later, the plane landed safely, and the Kunyang police immediately surrounded it, with ambulances also arriving to transport people away.
Subsequently, various pictures and reports emerged, revealing a shocking incident that had occurred beyond anyone's expectations.
A murder had taken place on the plane, with the co-pilot dead and the pilot seriously injured and unconscious.
Soon, an elderly man with white hair was interviewed.
The old man recounted with lingering trepidation, "At the time, that young man was sitting right next to me. After the plane encountered trouble, he bravely stepped up, just like when I was young..."
"The flight attendants told us to stay in our seats and not move around. I heard someone in the front say there was a dead person, and everyone was very tense. The person in the front said that the young man had entered the cockpit alone, and the chief purser and security officers were shouting from outside... Later, the plane landed safely, and the police and doctors arrived. I saw the doctors carrying the bloody pilot past me..."
The person sitting in the cockpit was neither the pilot nor the co-pilot, but a passenger!
No one knew the passenger's name, and many speculated that he was a pilot.
The police immediately retrieved the surveillance footage from the plane. In the cockpit, the pilot and co-pilot were initially flying normally. Suddenly, the co-pilot removed a necklace from his chest and used its sharp end to viciously attack the pilot.
Caught off guard, the pilot sustained multiple stab wounds, though not deep ones. The pilot immediately fought back, and in the ensuing struggle, he strangled the co-pilot until he stopped moving.
At this point, the pilot was covered in wounds, with blood splattered throughout the cockpit. Mustering his remaining strength, the pilot stabilized the plane, opened the cockpit door, and collapsed.
It was then that Su He entered the cockpit. With the pilot unconscious and the co-pilot dead, Su He saved the lives of everyone on board.
Su He remained at the police station for over three hours until Zhou Bing arrived and took him away.
"Officer Zhou, I..."
Zhou Bing glanced at Su He and replied, "No need to explain. I've read the report. You're a genius; you taught yourself how to fly a plane. Flying a plane and operating an excavator follow the same principle. You're the pride of your Nanxiang Technical School..."
Well, I couldn't come up with a better excuse... Su He didn't really want to fly the plane, but given the situation, if he hadn't intervened, they would have certainly crashed.
As they left the police station, Zhou Bing handed Su He a business card, saying, "In Kunyang, if you encounter any issues, you can contact Captain Hou directly. You... take care of yourself!"
What did that mean?
Su He was puzzled and took the card, asking, "Officer Zhou... what about the case?"
"It's been solved. Don't ask about anything you shouldn't know... Just be careful yourself..."
After establishing contact with Su He and confirming the situation in the cockpit, the police found the co-pilot's diary at his residence. The reason was simple: he was in a relationship with a flight attendant but discovered that the pilot had been unfaithful with her.
Coincidentally, the three of them were on the same flight today, leading the co-pilot to contemplate a murder-suicide.
Su He not only saved himself but also rescued 122 people on board. He was initially poised to be hailed as a hero and interviewed by various media outlets, but Su He chose to keep the matter confidential and not disclose it publicly.
Brushing off the matter, concealing his deed and reputation, Su He hailed a taxi and said, "Driver, the Grand Hyatt Hotel, please."
The taxi driver glanced at Su He in the rearview mirror and smiled, "You're from mainland China, aren't you?"
"Yeah!" Su He responded briefly.
Noticing Su He's reluctance to converse, the driver focused on driving.
The radio in the car was on, "Last night, a home invasion and murder occurred in Kaohsiung City. According to the police, this was the third homicide case this month, with all victims being young women..."
Su He was immediately intrigued and listened attentively.
Seeing this, the driver remarked, "Ah, handsome guy, you don't need to worry... Taipei has excellent public safety..."
Su He replied in surprise, "Really? That's reassuring. It's my first time in Kunyang, and hearing this news made me quite scared..."
The driver paused, then laughed, "Handsome guy, the way you speak is even more colloquial than me. You can speak standard Mandarin with me; I also know several mainland dialects..."
"Got it, driver. Step on the gas; I'm in a hurry to be reincarnated."
They arrived at the hotel three hours later than expected, and Su He had a scene to film in the evening. Yu Qing had already sent several reminders.
Upon arriving at the hotel, a woman named Fan Xiaotong, the assistant arranged for Su He by Yu Qing, helped him check in and then drove him to the filming location.
"This is Jiufen in New Taipei City. The movie 'In the Mood for Love' starring Tony Leung was filmed here. You can see those Japanese-style buildings and even find the inspiration for Hayao Miyazaki's 'Spirited Away.'"
"The director is currently filming the lead actors' scenes. Should I take you for a tour first, or do you want to go straight to the set?"
Su He didn't respond, staring at something posted on a nearby utility pole.
Fan Xiaotong followed his gaze.
"'Seeking Surrogate Mother, Fulfill My Mother's Dream.'" A flyer displayed a solemn and virtuous-looking woman, young and fair-skinned, married to a billionaire businessman. Her husband was infertile, and she had a dream of becoming a mother. Upon successful surrogacy, a million-dollar reward was promised, with discretion assured.
Fan Xiaotong's face turned red as she looked at Su He and said, "Su He, are you in dire financial need? But this is a scam..."
In Su He's line of sight was a reward notice issued by the Kunyang police for the three recent home invasion murders in Kaohsiung City. Anyone providing leads that assisted in solving the case would be awarded one million New Taiwan dollars, approximately 220,000 Chinese yuan based on the current exchange rate.
Hearing Fan Xiaotong's remarks, Su He shook his head.
"I believe this is real..."
e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.

nd fell into a coma while saving his younger sister from an out-of-control car. He became a vegetable. No one knew that his consciousness had crossed into a world of cultivation. Over the course of sixty years, he began as the lowest kind of mine slave, struggling to survive amid mountains of corpses and seas of blood. By sheer chance, he eventually obtained the complete memories of a fallen Immortal King. Alchemy, medicine, formations, feng shui, physiognomy, artifact forging… Every great inheritance of the cultivation world was now his. But when he opened his eyes again, he discovered that ten full years had passed in the modern world. To pay for his treatment, his father had sold the family’s shop and house, leaving himself covered in lasting injuries and illness. His mother had cared for him day and night, and more than half of her hair had already turned white. His younger sister, who had been only fifteen back then, was now twenty-five. To help repay the family’s debts, she had been forced to lower her head and put on a smiling face in places of glittering lights and endless revelry. Only then did Chen Xuan understand that what he had lost was not merely ten years. He had lost the life his entire family was meant to have. The good news was that he had brought back the memories of an Immortal King’s entire lifetime. The bad news was that his soul had returned alone—his cultivation had not come with him. Spiritual energy was scarce, resources were depleted, and the modern world still had firearms, surveillance, capital, and laws. If he wanted to protect his family, break free from everyone’s control, and become truly invincible beneath the heavens, he would have to start all over again.
