Chapter 519: I’ll Bear It
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Seeing how disrespectful the guards were to Shan Yue, Ye Ying couldn’t stand it anymore. He stepped forward slightly, wanting to say something.
However, Shan Yue pulled him back and whispered into his ear, “There’s no time to argue with them now. The more this is the case, the more we have to maintain the most basic calmness.”
Then, Shan Yue smiled at the guard again. “I’m the boss of the Shan Corporation, Shan Yue. I suspect that there are prohibited items in the items of those three people. It’s very likely to cause harm to the crowd at the airport.”
“Forget about which company you’re the boss of. Even if your official position is higher, you still don’t have the right to casually inspect other people’s personal belongings. This is a rule clearly stipulated by the law.”
The guard gradually stopped smiling. “It’s not that we don’t want to help you. If we casually check someone else’s things and find nothing inside, who do you think should bear this responsibility…”
“I’ll bear it!” Before the guard could finish speaking, Shan Yue shouted, “I’ll bear any consequences. It has nothing to do with you. What else do you have? Can we move now?”
“Bearing the responsibility is a problem. The most important thing is that you don’t have any reason to touch other people’s things. If the passenger is dissatisfied and he reports me to United Airlines, my job will be gone.”
The guard’s words revealed the same meaning, which was to reject Shan Yue’s request. However, this was also a normal phenomenon. After all, the written rules were indeed true, and there was no evidence.
As the saying went, every man for himself. It was understandable that the guards wouldn’t do something risky for their own future.
However, time waited for no one. If they really waited until it was too late, it would be too late to say anything. Now, Shan Yue no longer had the good temper from before and could slow down to talk.
“I’ll tell you one last time. You just have to do as I say. Whatever happens after the examination, I’ll take the blame for you.” Shan Yue’s long and narrow eyes were as cold as ice, making one feel afraid and break out in a cold sweat. “I seriously suspect that there’s going to be a terrorist attack at the airport. Those three people are carrying a small bag that might contain a bomb.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the guards could no longer squeeze out a smile. It was as if time had frozen, and their expressions froze for a moment. After all, this was the first time they had experienced such a scene. They could no longer sit on the stool in peace. They instinctively rubbed their ears, afraid that they had heard wrongly.
“What… What did you say? There’s going to be a terrorist attack at the airport?”
“Am I not clear enough? There’s no time for you to consider now. It’s naturally best if there’s nothing after the checkup. If it’s true, do you think you can bear this responsibility?” Shan Yue was merciless and hit the nail on the head. “Do you dare to gamble with the lives of thousands of people at the airport?”
The guard’s lips trembled slightly. For a moment, he did not know what to say. Panic had already surged into his heart. He wanted to make his next move, but his body seemed to be out of control. He could not exert any strength.
Shan Yue looked at the useless people in front of her and shook her head helplessly. After a few seconds of silence, the guards finally moved.
“Please… Please wait a moment. After all, this matter is too important. Small guards like us don’t have the right to make decisions at all. I’ll call my superiors immediately.” The guard tried his best to suppress his fear and look calm. “As soon as the leader agrees, we can immediately take action to interrogate or capture the suspect.”
“Then what are we waiting for?” Shan Yue was a little worried. After all, the more time passed, the higher the possibility of facing danger. “We have to be fast. If we delay any longer, none of us will be able to escape. We’ll all be finished..”
