Before receiving any valid news about Luca and Lin Xianghua, Gao Yi had already boarded the plane heading to Japan.
If the persons detained were released, he'd go pick them up.
If they weren't released, who knows what might happen.
The flight was a commercial airline, as it was fast enough, but most importantly, discreet and safe enough.
No doubt about it—Gao Yi wasn't holding back nor planning to compromise. This time, as long as he touched down on Japan's turf, if he didn't stir up a major uproar, it would mean Gao Yi lacked skill and the Garden lacked capable individuals.
The downside of taking a commercial flight was not being able to answer calls. The duration of the flight equaled the time he'd be unreachable, and flying from Los Angeles to Narita Airport took over eleven hours. In other words, Gao Yi would be disconnected from the outside world for twelve hours.
