CHAPTER 226: CHAPTER 226: THE PLANE CAN’T BE BOARDED

After hanging up the phone, Lin Xiaoyan logged into the Special Investigation Bureau’s dedicated app and saw a notification for a missed task.

She clicked on it and saw that the reward for this task was actually a hundred thousand!

Lin Xiaoyan clicked to confirm accepting the task, feeling excited about adding another hundred thousand to her small savings!

"Sister Nan, pack your bags, we have a mission!"

...

H Province

After hanging up the phone, Xuan Liu looked at Xuan Wu beside him, "Will saying that... be a problem?"

Xuan Wu glared, "What’s the problem? We didn’t lie to her, there’s really no ghost here!"

Xuan Liu glanced around. Indeed, there were no ghosts, but there were other things...

Hope Xiao Lin doesn’t get scared when she arrives!

Lin Xiaoyan received the location and flight time from Xuan Liu.

The two quickly packed their things and headed to the airport.

On the way, Lin Xiaoyan messaged her brother to say she was going on a business trip and also told He Qi’an about her trip to H Province.

By the time Lin Hao and He Qi’an saw the message, Lin Xiaoyan had already arrived at the airport.

As they walked to the airport, Lin Xiaoyan told Nan Xi about the embarrassing incident during her first flight.

Nan Xi smirked at Lin Xiaoyan’s experience, "That’s normal; everyone acts that way when they’re unfamiliar with something.

It gets better with time."

Lin Xiaoyan nodded, sighing, "Yeah, if it were before, I suppose I would never take a flight in my lifetime."

Nan Xi stayed silent after hearing this.

Soon, it was boarding time, and Lin Xiaoyan and Nan Xi stood up and followed the crowd.

Lin Xiaoyan looked down to reply to He Qi’an, reassuring him.

"Hahaha, this time I’m fully equipped, so we’ll see who’s better at skiing!"

"Sure, whoever falls the most buys dinner!"

"I heard the barbecue in H Province is the best. Let’s go have some then!"

"Alright, the place I went to last time was great, let’s head there then..."

Suddenly, Lin Xiaoyan’s arm was bumped, and Nan Xi immediately protected Lin Xiaoyan, glaring at the person who bumped into her.

A few young men and women noticed Nan Xi’s glare and felt uneasy; Nan Xi looked like someone not to be messed with.

The girl who accidentally bumped into Lin Xiaoyan quickly apologized, "Sorry, I didn’t see you, my apologies."

Lin Xiaoyan looked up, took a deep breath, "It’s okay."

She put away her phone and looked at the others.

Amidst Nan Xi’s gaze, Lin Xiaoyan "accidentally" bumped into many people.

Lin Xiaoyan kept saying "sorry."

The young men and women from earlier saw Lin Xiaoyan’s actions and frowned, wondering if something was wrong with her!

"Let’s go! Let’s go! This person isn’t normal!"

The four young men and women hurriedly left, afraid Lin Xiaoyan would fake an accident.

After "accidentally" bumping into three or four more people, Lin Xiaoyan walked over with a serious expression.

Nan Xi saw Lin Xiaoyan’s serious face and quietly asked, "What’s wrong?"

Lin Xiaoyan looked at the people coming and going, whispering, "We can’t take this plane!"

"All the people I just bumped into had the same vision of the plane crashing!"

Nan Xi: !!!

"Did you... see it wrong?" Nan Xi doubted, "The chance of a plane accident is very low!"

Lin Xiaoyan exhaled, "I also hope I saw it wrong, but... the final scene for those people was a blaze of fire..."

Nan Xi looked at Lin Xiaoyan, her face serious, "I’ll contact the airport right now!"

Soon, the flight to H Province was canceled.

The passengers who were ready to board weren’t pleased and demanded an explanation.

Some insisted on boarding, threatening to file a complaint otherwise!

Others were simply unreasonable, demanding the airport pay them a hundredfold compensation!

...

In short, no one was satisfied with the cancelation, and they strongly demanded the airline provide an explanation.

The staff had no choice but to call in a leader to apologize and explain.

They explained that due to a sudden fault found on the plane that needed emergency repair, the flight had to be canceled.

For those affected, the airline would provide compensation and rebook or offer free transfers to another flight heading to H Province...

With a leader explaining, people’s feelings were finally soothed.

After resolving the matter, the leader’s expression turned grim as he immediately ordered a thorough inspection of the aircraft.

"There’s another flight, but it requires a transfer in Jin City."

Nan Xi looked at the flight and told Lin Xiaoyan.

Lin Xiaoyan checked the time, "That’s fine."

They quickly reached Jin City, and Lin Xiaoyan and Nan Xi checked the time—it was another two hours before boarding.

She messaged Xuan Liu to update him on the situation here.

Xuan Liu quickly replied, saying it was fine as long as they arrived safely.

Lin Xiaoyan put away her phone and looked at Nan Xi, "Sister Nan, are you hungry? Let’s eat nearby."

Nan Xi looked around, confirmed there was no danger, and nodded, "Sure."

"Let me check what’s good around here..."

Lin Xiaoyan looked down at her phone, "There’s a famous dumpling place nearby, let’s try it!"

Nan Xi nodded, pulling her suitcase along with Lin Xiaoyan.

As Lin Xiaoyan grabbed her suitcase to walk with Nan Xi, Nan Xi felt touched, watching Lin Xiaoyan closely.

In the past when she was on missions, she was responsible for ensuring safety, but when no one else was around, she had multiple roles.

She had to ensure the client’s satisfaction to receive a good rating.

Those ratings were very important, like the ratings delivery drivers get.

More good ratings meant more tasks, and she could choose her tasks.

With more bad ratings, not only would she receive less commission and fewer tasks, but people wouldn’t pick her seeing so many bad reviews.

Out of all those missions, Lin Xiaoyan was the only one who was friendly and constantly considered her feelings.

Before, when she protected regular people, they either feared her or ignored her.

"Sister Nan, let’s take a cab. It’s a bit of a distance, but in a cab, it’s just twelve minutes away!" Lin Xiaoyan already booked a cab.

"Okay." Nan Xi smiled and nodded.

Actually... these were all things she had to do, but Lin Xiaoyan always did them first.

Nan Xi thought about it and said, "In the future, let me know what you want to do in advance, and I’ll arrange it."

Lin Xiaoyan: "It’s the same whether you do it or I do it, but there are some things I don’t understand, so I’ll definitely ask you."

The two took a cab to a local specialty bun shop in Jin City.

Lin Xiaoyan expected it to only sell buns, but upon entering, she found it was a large establishment with steamed buns as a specialty but also other Jin City specialties.

Lin Xiaoyan glanced at the menu and asked Nan Xi what she wanted to eat.

After ordering, Lin Xiaoyan looked around the restaurant, "Even at this hour, there are so many people. It means the food here must be good!"

Nan Xi scanned the restaurant and smelled the aroma in the air—it seemed promising for now.
