Chapter 920 - 932: Departure for the United Kingdom (Part 2)
Chapter 920: Chapter 932: Departure for the United Kingdom (Part 2)
"What, no plane tickets left?"
Lin Xi found that, whether on third-party apps, the official website, or any airlines, all the tickets were sold out!
"So many people going to the United Kingdom?"
Not far away, Su Qiaoqiao, who was accompanying Mengmeng in class, saw an opportunity to tease Lin Xi.
She looked at him like he was some country bumpkin and said, "Of course, don’t you know what day it is today!"
"What day?" Lin Xi looked over.
"It’s Friday!"
Lin Xi, "..."
"So it’s crowded on Fridays?"
"Of course, it’s crowded!"
"But little girl, what’s with that look? Is your butt itching for a spanking?"
Su Qiaoqiao, "..."
Still, she edged closer to Mengmeng, genuinely afraid Lin Xi might hit her on the... yeah, butt!
There’s not much meat there originally, what if it gets flattened?
Lin Xi was just trying to scare her, not taking it seriously.
"But what about the plane tickets?"
"Should I force my way onto a plane?"
"Or find someone to help?"
Finding Elder Yang should work!
As he was thinking this, Su Qiaoqiao, relentless, continued asking, "You want to go to the United Kingdom?"
"What are you going there for?"
"Do you have a passport? Or do you even know what a passport is?"
This time, Lin Xi took two steps to get beside her, and before she could react, pinched her cheek, "If you say another word, I’m really not going to be polite!"
Mengmeng, emerging from her study state at this time, looked at Lin Xi, "Daddy, you’re going to the United Kingdom?"
Lin Xi nodded, giving a brief explanation that he had friends over there who were in trouble and needed his help!
Mengmeng’s eyes lit up immediately upon hearing this.
She had been studying with Teacher Mei for so many days and basically learned all kinds of knowledge.
So, she had some understanding of the United Kingdom.
Clearly, she was eager to go as well.
Su Qiaoqiao, rubbing her cheek on the side, showed a hint of anticipation, wanting to go too.
But Lin Xi didn’t wait for the two little ones to speak and directly refused, "I’m going for business, not for fun!"
"Besides, you don’t have passports, so you’ll stay at home obediently and not go anywhere!"
"Tell Bai Bing when she comes back tonight."
After giving these non-negotiable instructions, he went to his room, took out the shabby bag he had when he came down the mountain, packed a few clothes, and left.
As soon as he went out, a liberating smile appeared on Su Qiaoqiao’s face.
It seemed like she had some kind of plan.
Just as Lin Xi walked out, he was about to call Elder Yang yet found he didn’t know Elder Yang’s phone number at all.
Instead, a business card fell from his pocket.
This business card was Gu Long’s!
The most formidable intelligence officer under Dragon King.
And he had a very deep impression of this person!
Once this person went into hiding, even Lin Xi couldn’t find him, unless he knew where he hid from the start.
"Wouldn’t it be more convenient to find him?"
Thinking this, he didn’t hesitate and called him directly.
As soon as he dialed, the other party answered almost instantly.
"Mr. Lin, is there something you need from me?"
His tone clearly revealed a trace of shock, as if entirely unexpected.
Next, Lin Xi explained the situation – he needed the earliest flight to the United Kingdom.
Yes, just one seat!
Gu Long didn’t ask why Lin Xi was going to the United Kingdom, instead he responded without a hint of doubt, saying it was no problem!
Lin Xi wasn’t surprised, nor did he doubt his words.
Such matters shouldn’t be an issue for him at all.
He flagged a taxi and headed straight to the airport.
Upon arriving at the terminal, Lin Xi saw Gu Long waiting from afar.
After getting out and expressing gratitude, Lin Xi followed him into the airport.
After passing security, an elderly man in airport uniform came over, leading them through a special passage.
This old gentleman seemed to be some leader at the airport.
Ultimately, Gu Long and the elderly man escorted Lin Xi all the way to the boarding gate and watched him board the plane before leaving.
On the plane, a sweet-looking flight attendant immediately welcomed him.
His seat was in the first class, right by the window in the first row.
Moreover, this flight was a large aircraft, a Boeing 747.
Its first class was extremely luxurious, allowing a full recline for sleep, and if tired, there was a bathroom available for a soak!
Each person in first class had half an hour of bathing time.
On the seat, various snacks, drinks, and wine were available, all high-end configurations.
Lin Xi estimated that this ticket must cost at least thirty to forty thousand RMB.
In the past, he would have never been willing to take it, wasn’t this too extravagant!
Moreover, the funds given by the old man were pitifully small.
After lying in bed for a while, other passengers gradually boarded, and he roughly estimated that there were at least 400 people, with over 60% being Chinese.
Among these Chinese, a small portion were students, while the rest were quite fashionable.
They seemed more sophisticated or upscale than ordinary people.
Many of them, passing by Lin Xi, couldn’t help but show a hint of disdain at the tattered backpack by his seat.
Could such a person really belong in this seat?
Not like that aunt from a while ago, who was supposed to be in economy class but insisted on staying in first class.
Claimed that since no one was sitting there, why shouldn’t she?
Not that she hadn’t paid or anything...
Lin Xi paid no mind to their gazes; instead, he opened a bottle of high-end red wine and sipped it while enjoying the scenery outside the window.
But as the last group of passengers boarded, he couldn’t help but furrow his brows slightly.
Because this group didn’t have the aura of ordinary people.
Instead, they gave off the scent of those who went through special training, and on quite a few of them, he could sense the smell of death.
"Could they be special forces?"
Lin Xi glanced over and then immediately shook his head; they didn’t seem to be.
At this moment, the leading foreigner seemed to notice something and looked over at Lin Xi.
Seeing a young man, he bared his teeth and smiled at Lin Xi.
However, Lin Xi didn’t pay him any attention, continuing to enjoy the view outside while drinking wine and occasionally glancing at the stewardesses’ long legs as they passed by.
Well, might as well take a look!
Looking wouldn’t get them pregnant!
Besides, with almost twelve hours, didn’t finding some enjoyment help pass the time rather than being too dull?
Of course, as for things like movies’ hijacking incidents or mercenary attacks.
He wasn’t afraid of these, but he also hoped to avoid them.
After all, he wanted to get to London as soon as possible, without delays.
Otherwise, it’d be hard to say if Dili Bare and Xie Ziqi would be safe.
So he mused to himself, "Hopefully, nothing happens, else don’t blame me for being harsh!"
