Chapter 1228 - 1227: Change in Flight Path

The setting sun is like blood, and in the blink of an eye, it was evening.

At this moment, in Lin'an City International Airport, Lu Yu and Leng Qingqiu sat in the departure lounge, watching the comings and goings of pedestrians and travelers, with a hint of depth in their eyes.

Airports and stations have always witnessed too many farewells, thus such places always give one a sense of profundity.

"Lu Yu"

As she watched the people wandering in the departure lounge, the bored Leng Qingqiu suddenly spoke thoughtfully, "When you kill, do you feel fear inside?"

As she spoke, Leng Qingqiu's gaze turned to Lu Yu, her beautiful eyes filled with questions.

Now, she wanted to understand Lu Yu on a deeper level.

Today, Leng Qingqiu was dressed in a light blue casual outfit, her long black hair tied at the back. Her beautiful appearance matched with the casual outfit, giving a rather clean and neat feeling, attracting the quiet attention of some passersby.

However, among the crowd discreetly watching Leng Qingqiu, there were two men dressed rather low-key, with magazines in their hands. Their eyes were full of malice, coldly watching Lu Yu, and filled with viciousness.

These two men seemed like two venomous snakes, at a glance giving a feeling of sinister viciousness.

"At first, yes"

Sitting cross-legged in the departure lounge seating, Lu Yu spoke lightly: "But to survive, you have to kill, because if you don't kill others, they will kill you. At that time, I had to kill, there was no choice."

As he spoke, Lu Yu's words were indifferent, as if recalling: "So, at that time, to survive, there was no other choice."

The expression on Lu Yu's face was filled with melancholy, not shying away from his past.

The airport's background noise was loud, bustling, and Lu Yu's subdued voice quickly drowned in the cacophony, not drawing anyone's attention.

Yet even so, such words still reached Leng Qingqiu's ears.

"To survive..."

Hearing Lu Yu's words, Leng Qingqiu softly murmured, her words full of contemplation.

Since her birth, Leng Qingqiu had led a pampered life, so she still couldn't comprehend Lu Yu's predicament of killing to survive.

"Alright, you don't have to think too much"

As if perceiving Leng Qingqiu's inner thoughts, Lu Yu momentarily smiled, speaking: "Without such experiences, understanding such a past is absolutely impossible, so it's quite normal that you can't figure it out."

"All you need to know now is that I'm not a bad person"

As he spoke, Lu Yu subtly smiled, a trace of calmness appearing on his face.

Upon hearing Lu Yu's words, Leng Qingqiu was about to say something, when at that moment, an announcement echoed through the airport: Dear passengers, your flight to Europe is about to take off, please proceed to the gate for boarding procedures.

"Time to board"

Upon hearing this announcement, Lu Yu slightly smiled, then said: "Get ready to board, after all if we miss this flight, we will have to wait until tomorrow morning."

As he spoke, Lu Yu's words held a hint of a smile.

Hearing Lu Yu's words, Leng Qingqiu nodded, then stood up and walked with Lu Yu towards the boarding gate.

However, just as Lu Yu and Leng Qingqiu got up to walk to the boarding gate, two men wrapped up tightly also stood up, following closely behind Lu Yu, striding towards the boarding gate.

...

A moment later, the plane took off, soaring into the pitch-black night sky, appearing like a giant beast charging into the firmament, giving a sense of ferocity.

On the plane, Lu Yu and Leng Qingqiu sat in first class. During the flight, Leng Qingqiu looked at the bright moon outside the window and the rolling sea of clouds, her beautiful features tinged with contemplation.

All along, Leng Qingqiu had been engrossed in work, rarely having time to admire such a scene of the moon illuminating the clouds. For a moment, her eyes were deep, her thoughts drifting far away, and she seemed somewhat lost.

The current scene was undoubtedly a rare relaxation for Leng Qingqiu.

Compared to Leng Qingqiu quietly enjoying the scenery, at this moment, Lu Yu's gaze also turned outside the window, his eyes full of pensiveness. However, unlike Leng Qingqiu's relaxation, Lu Yu was in deep thought.

This journey to Europe, Lu Yu faced not some local bigshot, not just an ordinary dark organization, nor a modest official group, but the formidable European Federal Authority!

The European Federal Authority, an official entity controlling European power, held considerable strength, with a large number of soldiers under its command, undoubtedly a very tough opponent. So now, Lu Yu was contemplating the difficulties and unexpected events he might encounter en route to Europe.

As it was nighttime, the guests in first class quietly drifted into slumber. Apart from some light snoring, only the sound of everyone breathing and flipping through books echoed, making it particularly tranquil.

The moonlit sea of clouds and the current quiet made the atmosphere exceptionally peaceful.

Buzz!

However, at that moment, the plane's body suddenly jolted, this time a very violent shake that knocked over many passengers' cups, spilling water onto them, causing quite some consternation.

This incident immediately left many passengers bewildered, having no idea what had occurred.

"I…I apologize"

After the fierce turbulence, a sweet voice of a stewardess came through: "The plane encountered a sudden airflow, causing the body to be somewhat unstable, we apologize for the inconvenience."

Sudden airflow is something planes often encounter, and upon hearing this explanation, all passengers were relieved, complaining a little before resuming their rest.

Nevertheless, just when all passengers were resting, Lu Yu's eyes changed, and he slowly turned his head to look out of the window, his gaze turning even colder.

"Lu Yu"

Just as Lu Yu's eyes were full of coldness, the visibly scenic Leng Qingqiu lightly tugged on Lu Yu's clothes: "Did you notice?"

As she spoke, Leng Qingqiu's voice was slightly heavy, clearly having discovered something.

"Yeah"

Hearing this, Lu Yu nodded, then looked at the scenery outside the window, speaking: "The flight path has changed"
