"Ladies and gentlemen, the plane has arrived in Jincheng. Please take your belongings and disembark in an orderly manner! Thank you!"

The announcement from the airplane's PA system rang out, and the passengers in the cabin began to rise and head toward the exit.

Jiang Chen glanced at the two short middle-aged men. As expected, they sat still, and to reach the exit, one would inevitably have to pass by the aisle next to them.

Li Zhen obviously noticed the anomaly of the two short men as well, and his brows furrowed tightly. He looked at Jiang Chen and the others, then whispered to the old man, "Elder, let's wait a bit."

"Alright," the old man nodded, cast a glance at the two short men, and said with a light chuckle, "I didn't expect these guys to be so bold as to want to make a move at Jincheng Airport!"

"This time the elder's trip to other countries has indeed spoiled their plans," Li Zhen spoke in a low voice.

"Li Zhen, watch your words!" The man next to Li Zhen hissed in a low voice.

Li Zhen gave the man a look and smiled lightly, "Wang Gang, he's not an outsider. He's the chief instructor who sent Long Ya back to the special forces, Jiang Chen!"

"Oh?" Wang Gang looked at Jiang Chen in surprise, and the old man and the woman both turned their heads to look at Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen chuckled lightly and nodded to the old man, his lips silently forming the words, "I'll hold them off, you all get off the plane."

"Young man, how old are you? I am almost sixty!" the old man said with a light laugh looking at Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen paused slightly, then quickly realized that the old man was telling him that he himself was old and that Jiang Chen was still young, not wanting to burden him!

With a faint smile, Jiang Chen replied softly, "Being an Innate Grandmaster is not such a big deal."

The old man was taken aback, a hint of astonishment flashing in his eyes as he sized up Jiang Chen, the question clear in his gaze.

Jiang Chen nodded slightly, then glanced at Yan Hu and Leng Ye, smiling as he said, "It's enough."

The old man was truly startled this time. He looked at Yan Hu and his companion, then back at Jiang Chen, and let out a light laugh, "The dragon doesn't cross the river without fierceness; it seems Jincheng is about to buzz with excitement!"

After a pause, the old man looked meaningfully at Jiang Chen, "Young man, brute force can't solve everything. Some matters require a bottom line."

"If others don't offend me, I won't offend them. If others do, then by the same means used against me shall it be done to them. Of course, as long as it doesn't harm my family," Jiang Chen replied with a slight smile, neither overbearing nor servile.

The old man looked deeply at Jiang Chen and nodded lightly, then reached into his pocket and handed him a clunky old cell phone, "This is my phone number, try calling to see if there's still credit on it."

The woman, Li Zhen, and Wang Gang all looked at the old man with surprise. That was the old man's personal phone, and the idea of lacking credit... the old man's phone credit could never run out, which clearly meant that he wanted to give Jiang Chen his phone number.

"Alright," Jiang Chen was surprised for a moment. He hadn't expected the old man to do such a thing, tantamount to agreeing to help him at least once, although some things simply could not be stated openly.

Taking the old man's phone, Jiang Chen turned it on to dial his number, then handed it back to the old man, "Elder, your phone doesn't have any overdue charges."

"Good," the old man said, chuckling as he took back the phone.

"Let's go," Jiang Chen called softly and got up to walk toward the exit. Leng Ye moved behind Jiang Chen, pulling Ye Jingyi to one side and moving along the right edge of the aisle, where the two short men were positioned.

Jiang Chen was in front, Leng Ye in the middle, Ye Jingyi beside Leng Ye, and Yan Hu following behind. As the four arranged themselves in this formation, Li Zhen, protecting the old man, moved to Yan Hu's left side, and Wang Gang, shielding the woman, followed behind Yan Hu.

Walking past the two short men, Jiang Chen deliberately leaned towards the seats and, smiling at the two men, said, "Excuse me, my phone is out of battery. Could you tell me the time, please?"

Taking advantage of Jiang Chen speaking, Leng Ye pulled Ye Jingyi past Jiang Chen's back and then stopped in front of him. Knowing she couldn't be of help, Ye Jingyi went to the exit alone.

Behind her, Yan Hu stopped as he came in front of Leng Ye, and alongside Jiang Chen, they formed a human wall.

Only then did Li Zhen, escorting the old man, walk past Jiang Chen.

"My phone is out of battery too." The faces of the two middle-aged men changed, and the one closest to the aisle spoke softly, standing up, "Excuse me, sir, please let me pass. I need to disembark."

"What a coincidence, sir, your phone is out of battery too?" Jiang Chen said with an unbelieving face.

They couldn't strike first. Even though they felt the men's murderous intent, there had been no action yet. And with the two men wearing Beihai National Embassy badges, if they hit first, they might be accused in return.

As the old man was about to pass behind Jiang Chen and the others, the middle-aged man by the aisle had a cold flash in his eyes and said in a low voice, "Move aside, we're getting off."

"Whoa whoa whoa, what's this about? You want to hit someone? So what if you're from the Beihai National Embassy? Can embassy staff hit people as they please?" Jiang Chen spoke dramatically while giving Yan Hu a meaningful look.

Realizing the gesture, Yan Hu emanated a subtle yet powerful presence, his gaze fixed on the two middle-aged men, "Gentlemen, it'd be better for all of us if you wait a little longer to disembark."

The two middle-aged men were startled for a moment, their brows furrowing. They knew their intentions had been discovered, and that their mission for the day was likely to fail.

An Innate Grandmaster plus two Semi Innate Grand Masters at the elder's side most definitely ensured that they couldn't kill the old man instantly. And...

Wariness flashed in the eyes of the two men as they glanced at Jiang Chen and Leng Ye. Both had only recently broken through to Innate Grandmaster, and they hadn't sensed Yan Hu's strength. If Yan Hu was an Innate Grandmaster, might these two men, brazen enough to stand in their way, also be...

They didn't dare gamble and could only watch as their target disembarked from the plane.

"Alright then, I'll believe that your phones are out of battery," Jiang Chen said with a slight smile, turning to walk toward the exit.

The two men truly wanted to punch Jiang Chen in the back, but they dared not. Apart from the two others watching them closely, even if there were no one else, striking now would be futile.

It wasn't until Jiang Chen got off the plane that Yan Hu and Leng Ye, one after the other, started toward the exit, with the two middle-aged men reluctantly following behind them.

Once off the plane, Jiang Chen was slightly surprised. He expected Ye Jingyi to be waiting for him, but not that the old man and the others would be waiting too.
