Controlling the Five Thunders and the Two Worlds

Chapter 338 Another aircraft of a certain brand malfunctioned.
Having met her mother-in-law ahead of time, Xiao Ya and Jiang Shishi felt both nervous and excited, and Gu Zhao thus had another pleasant evening.

……

The next day, Li Man, who had endured it all night, finally couldn't hold back any longer. After confirming that the two women had gone to work and that Gu Zhao was alone, she dialed Gu Zhao's number.

"What? Which one to choose?" Gu Zhao asked his mother, and replied matter-of-factly, "Only children make choices; adults want them all."

On the other end of the phone, Li Man and Gu Qi, who was sitting next to her, looked at each other, completely bewildered.

Sensing the murderous intent in Li Man's eyes, Gu Qi couldn't help but jump up and down, "I'll beat you to death, you brat! Don't you understand that it's a one-man-one-woman system now? You want both of them? I'll have you arrested!"

"Who said I was getting married?" Gu Zhao retorted. "Look at the current state of society, marriage is basically just a formality. This piece of paper is only useful for dividing property in a divorce; it has no other purpose."

Li Man and Gu Qi fell silent, but upon closer reflection, it seemed that this was indeed the case.

"So we're still considered old-fashioned?" Li Man was speechless. She still thought she was very young, but she didn't expect that in just over ten years, her marriage was almost falling apart.

"Society is developing too fast; you must keep up with the times," Gu Zhao said calmly.

Li Man and Gu Qi were speechless again. Although they felt that something was wrong, they could not come up with a counterexample.

"Besides, do you care about me getting married? You care about my children, okay?" Gu Zhao went straight to the point. "Wouldn't it be great to have a house full of children and grandchildren?"

Gu Qi immediately smiled and nodded repeatedly, "Good, good, good!"

Li Man flicked him on the forehead, "We're worried you won't handle the relationships well and your family will be in turmoil!"

"Look at the golden bracelets on your wrists," Gu Zhao said with a smile. "How could your home be in turmoil?"

Li Man's eyes lit up. "Xiao Ya and Shi Shi, you gave them the Golden Gang Bracelet too?"

Gu Zhao briefly told his parents about how he cured Xiao Ya's grandfather's poor health with the Heavenly Gang Talisman, and how he helped them escape a disaster during an overseas performance.

"Your son did a hero save the damsel in distress." Gu Zhao smiled smugly, then asked, "Now that both good girls have their eyes on your son, are you planning to break them up?"

Li Man and Gu Qi fell into complete silence.

"Oh, right, there's something else I need to remind you to pay attention to."

"what?"

……

"It's done!"

Gu Zhao hung up the phone, then hummed a little tune as he arrived at the Taoist Research Institute. He sent the cheerful Taoist Master Ming Chong back home and picked up the honest and simple Taoist Master Qing Yuan.

"Uncle-Master, you've gone to a lot of trouble. Uncle-Master Jinghong will come to relieve you in ten days," Gu Zhao said with a smile.

"Not tired at all." Master Qingyuan waved his hands repeatedly. "We have been making great progress in fighting demons and monsters in the other world. It is good for us to take these ten days to calm down and consolidate our foundation. The way of cultivation is to alternate between tension and relaxation. This is actually a good thing for us."

Just then, the telephone in the lobby of the Taoist Studies Institute suddenly rang.

"Huh?" The two of them turned around at the same time.

This is the dedicated phone number for the Taoist Studies Office and the Taoist Studies Research Institute.

Under normal circumstances, the Taoist Studies Office compiles information every few days and sends it to the Taoist Studies Research Institute, where it is placed in the lobby for all Taoist priests to review and understand the current situation. Unless it is a particularly urgent and important matter, they generally do not make phone calls.

But once a call is made, it means the matter is urgent, like the mine incident last time.

So when the phone rang, Master Qingyuan immediately picked up the receiver, "Hello? This is Zhang Qingyuan."

"Hello, Master Qingyuan!" Zheng Hongsheng's voice came through the phone. "A plane flying from Sun City in Tibet Province to Jiangcheng in Hubei Province has malfunctioned in the air and is in great danger. Can you help?" Master Qingyuan hurriedly asked, "Where is it?"

"The plane is currently over Sichuan Province. The cabin door has detached, and broken parts have caused damage to the wing and the engine to shut down. It is currently making an emergency landing, but the landing gear has malfunctioned during the landing and cannot be deployed..."

Gu Zhao continued, "Can you synchronize location information with the security captain's phone?"

“Yes!” Zheng Hongsheng replied immediately.

"Let's go!" Gu Zhao took a step and appeared at the entrance of the research institute's security booth as if he had crossed space. He saw the security captain dozing off while looking at his phone, which was displaying the "Taishang Ganying Pian".

The security captain jumped, "Mr. Gu?"

"Come with us," Gu Zhao called to the security captain.

The security captain, puzzled, still asked as he came out, "Where are you going?"

"Go save people!"

Gu Zhao looked up and saw that Daoist Qingyuan had already taken to the air, so he wrapped the security captain with his true qi and also soared into the sky.

"Oh my god..."

The security captain blurted out half of what he wanted to say, then swallowed the rest. Then his phone rang, and he saw a coordinate and a map sent through the encrypted communication channel.

It also includes the current status of the aircraft and the captain's subsequent handling plan.

The security captain immediately knew what was going on. He quickly opened a system on his phone, found a relative position map of the current coordinates and the target coordinates, and pointed out the direction to Gu Zhao, "Over there!"

Gu Zhao and Daoist Qingyuan exchanged a glance, then quickened their pace.

"Whoosh-"

The surrounding clouds continued to retreat, and the buildings on the ground grew smaller and smaller. The security captain swallowed hard, trying to calm his wildly beating heart, only to find that he felt no acceleration or wind resistance whatsoever. He was utterly shocked. "A protective shield?"

But this was not the time to doubt that. Knowing the priorities, the security captain immediately reported the current situation to Gu Zhao.

"The captain had already started dumping fuel during the rapid descent, but the landing gear malfunction caused the landing to fail. The cabin door detached, and the captain dared not increase altitude, only circling near the airport. He could only hold out for a maximum of half an hour."

The security captain continued, "If the landing gear malfunction is not repaired within half an hour, the plane will have to make an emergency landing at the airport. The airport has prepared fire and rescue services in case of emergency."

Gu Zhao nodded, glanced at his phone, and asked, "Boeing again?"

The security captain nodded and explained, "The production capacity of domestically produced large aircraft can't keep up yet; it will take more time..."

Gu Zhao shook his head. "I know, I was just expressing my feelings."

After saying this, the group stopped talking and flew straight to the northwest.

……

Meanwhile, in Guangzhou below, another security guard at the guard post, unaware of the situation, saw Gu Zhao and his captain disappear in an instant and hurriedly reported, "The captain has been taken away by Mr. Gu!"

"If you can't speak properly, then shut up!" the superior scolded. "Saving lives is like putting out a fire; who has time to explain things to you!"

"Oh, oh!" The security guard immediately backed down, but after learning the details, he couldn't help but ask, "Could you send me next time? The captain is getting old, and I heard he's afraid of heights..."

In the sky, the security captain's eyes were filled with nostalgia, "I used to be a paratrooper..."
