Chapter 318 What kind of conditions can your Bai family offer?
Bai Zixuan was sitting in a very luxurious private jet.
This plane is specifically used by the Bai family for long-haul international routes.
He leaned back in the large leather chair, a cup of coffee in his hand, his eyes gazing at the clouds outside the window.
The plane is flying smoothly over the Pacific Ocean.
Bai Zixuan had always had an indescribable feeling in his heart.
He felt that going to America to meet Li Ze would definitely not be an easy thing.
Li Ze is too mysterious and too powerful.
Bai Zixuan kept calculating in his mind what tone he should use and what conditions he should propose when he met Li Ze so that Li Ze would agree to release Bai Qianyue.
He knew that Bai Qianyue was very important to the Bai family, and his grandfather, Bai Qiuzhan, had given her a firm order.
Therefore, he can only succeed this time; he cannot fail.
While Bai Zixuan was still mentally rehearsing the details of the negotiation...
suddenly!
"boom--!"
A tremendous explosion came from behind the plane.
The entire plane suddenly shook violently, as if it had been hit hard with a sledgehammer.
The coffee cup in Bai Zixuan's hand flew out, spilling scalding hot coffee all over him.
He was thrown into the air by the enormous force and then slammed heavily onto the seat.
"What's going on?!"
Bai Zixuan shouted loudly, his face instantly turning extremely pale.
The red warning lights inside the aircraft cabin began flashing wildly, and the piercing alarm blared incessantly.
The captain's panicked voice came through the intercom:
"Young Master! Something terrible has happened! The tail of the plane has exploded! The engines have lost power! The plane is now completely out of control!"
"We are falling! Please fasten your seatbelts immediately! Prepare for an emergency landing!"
The captain's voice was filled with despair.
Over the Pacific Ocean, the plane lost power. This so-called forced landing was no different from simply falling into the sea and waiting to die.
Bai Zixuan gripped the armrests of his seat tightly, feeling the plane plummeting downwards at an alarming speed.
Through the window, he saw the clouds outside rapidly receding upwards.
The feeling of weightlessness made him feel like his internal organs were about to be vomited out.
"It's over..."
Bai Zixuan thought to himself in despair.
He knew he was doomed this time.
He never imagined that he would die on the way before even meeting Li Ze.
Just as he closed his eyes, preparing to face death.
suddenly!
He felt his body being enveloped by a very strange force.
The feeling of weightlessness vanished instantly.
The loud wind and alarm sounds were gone.
The surroundings suddenly became very quiet.
Bai Zixuan opened his eyes in disbelief.
He discovered that he was no longer sitting in the plane that was falling.
He was sitting on a very comfortable sofa.
The sofa is in a very spacious and bright living room.
The living room is decorated very luxuriously, with a soft carpet on the floor.
Through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows in the living room, he could see a very beautiful lawn and fountain outside.
And in the distance, the sea sparkles in the sunlight.
This is clearly a very beautiful manor!
Bai Zixuan was completely stunned.
He opened his mouth wide and looked around with his eyes.
His mind went completely blank.
"Where...where am I? Wasn't I on an airplane?"
"Am I already dead? Is this heaven?"
Just when Bai Zixuan was completely confused about the situation.
A very relaxed voice, with a hint of a smile, came from the side.
"This isn't paradise. This is Long Island."
Bai Zixuan was startled by the voice.
He turned his head to look over.
On the other side of the living room, a man dressed in very comfortable, high-end casual wear was sitting on a single sofa.
The man was about forty years old and very handsome.
He was holding a string of beads in his hand, slowly twirling them.
He looked at Bai Zixuan with a gentle smile on his face.
This person was none other than Li Ze.
Bai Zixuan recognized Li Ze's face immediately.
Because he had already seen Li Ze's photos countless times before this.
"You...you are Mr. Li Ze?"
Bai Zixuan stood up from the sofa, his voice still trembling.
Li Ze nodded, pointed to the sofa opposite him, and said:
"Sit down, don't be so nervous. Now that you're here, you're safe."
Bai Zixuan stood there, feeling his legs go weak.
He sat back down on the sofa.
He looked at Li Ze, and asked with great incomprehension:
"Mr. Li, what exactly happened? I was just on the plane when it exploded and started falling... How did I suddenly end up here?"
Li Ze picked up a cup of tea from the table and took a sip.
He answered very calmly:
"It's simple, because I saved you."
"My team has been monitoring your schedule. When they discovered there was a problem with your plane, I immediately used some special methods to transfer you from that plane that was about to crash."
Li Ze paused for a moment, then said with a smile:
"However, I can't control your captain and other crew members. After all, I only agreed to meet with you, not to rescue them."
Bai Zixuan was completely shocked after hearing Li Ze's words.
How can people be transferred directly from a plane crashing over the Pacific Ocean to a Long Island estate thousands of miles away?
This is even more incredible than magic!
This is something no human being could do!
However, Bai Zixuan no longer had time to delve into what kind of high technology or superpowers Li Ze had used.
He knew that Li Ze had saved his life.
Bai Zixuan immediately stood up from the sofa.
He walked up to Li Ze, bowed very respectfully, and gave a deep bow.
"Mr. Li, I will never forget your life-saving grace!"
"If it weren't for your help, I would definitely be dead in the Pacific Ocean today."
"Thank you so much!"
Li Ze waved his hand, gesturing for him to sit down:
"Alright, no need to be so polite."
"I saved you only because you said you wanted to see me, so I have to make sure you see me safely."
"I don't want others to think that I, Li Ze, broke the rules and sabotaged you halfway through the journey."
Bai Zixuan sat down again.
Although he is safe now, he still feels very scared.
He recalled the explosion that occurred at the tail of the plane.
That was definitely not some ordinary mechanical malfunction!
The Bai family's private jets used for international long-haul flights are maintained very strictly, undergoing several rounds of inspections before takeoff.
It is impossible for an explosion to occur without a reason.
Someone must have tampered with the plane!
Someone wants him dead!
Bai Zixuan's face turned extremely ugly.
He looked at Li Ze and pleaded urgently:
"Mr. Li, since your men were able to discover that my plane had a problem, they must also know what happened."
"Please tell me, who tampered with my plane? Who wanted to kill me?"
Li Ze looked at Bai Zixuan, who seemed still shaken.
He smiled.
He placed the beads in his hand on the table.
Then he looked at Bai Zixuan and said in a very relaxed tone:
"It seems the internal affairs of your Bai family are more complicated than I imagined."
"You just stepped out the door to come and negotiate with me, and someone in your family is already itching to kill you."
"It seems that many people do not want you to successfully bring Bai Qianyue back."
When Bai Zixuan heard Li Ze say this, his fists clenched tightly together.
He certainly knew how fierce the internal struggles within the Bai family were.
But he didn't expect that the other party would dare to use a deadly attack!
"Mr. Li, please tell me, who exactly is that person!"
Bai Zixuan asked through gritted teeth.
Li Ze leaned back on the sofa, not immediately answering Bai Zixuan's question.
He simply looked at Bai Zixuan and waved his hand casually.
"We'll talk about who wanted to harm you later. Now that I've saved you, I'll tell you everything I know."
"But now..."
Li Ze paused for a moment.
He leaned forward slightly, his eyes becoming very serious.
He looked at Bai Zixuan and asked directly:
"Why don't we talk about what exactly you want from me, representing the Bai family?"
"What terms can your Bai family offer in exchange for Bai Qianyue?"
