“Didn’t you see how anxious Mrs. Hu is? Hurry up and check all the items to see what went wrong.”
Yu Feng pretended to be a peacemaker and stood between the two of them. “If there’s no big problem after the checkup, quickly get her to catch the plane. Even if it’s for official business, we can’t delay other people’s matters.”
When Mrs. Hu, who was in a fit of anger, heard such reasonable words, her mood immediately eased a little. “There are indeed people with brains in the airport. They’re different from this one-track-minded guard.”
However, what Mrs. Hu did not expect was that this was also part of the other party’s plan.
The guard finally opened Mrs. Hu’s box as instructed and found the source of the alarm. It was a flammable and explosive canned cosmetics.
“Reporting, the root of the problem has been found. The plane clearly warned not to bring anything flammable and explosive, so this thing can’t be brought on the plane…”
“This isn’t mine.” Before the guard could finish, Mrs. Hu interrupted him with obvious confusion in her eyes. “Someone must have wanted to frame me. That’s why they put this in my luggage.”
“Then may 1 ask, Mrs. Hu, from your departure point to the security checkpoint, has anyone else touched your luggage?” the guard asked.
“My luggage has always been in the hands of the bodyguards.” Mrs. Hu’s words were very firm. “And the people around me were chosen after thousands of selections. How can I let others touch my things?”
“Since no one has touched your luggage, this contraband must belong to you.” Yu Feng’s tone was very casual. “And regardless of whether this thing is yours or not, it has been found in your luggage. No matter how you explain it, you won’t be able to escape in the end.”
“If this had happened a month ago, Mrs. Hu, you wouldn’t have to worry too much. This thing isn’t anything important, but you can’t bring it on the plane.”
The guard changed the topic and immediately replied, “But the rules of the flight have just been changed recently. Now that such a situation has happened, not only do we have to detain your things, but we also have to register and report to the higher-ups. As long as the higher-ups think that the matter is not serious and allow you to leave, it’s fine. If the leaders don’t let you leave, you can’t leave even if the flight is delayed.”
“Why should I? This doesn’t belong to me. Why should 1 report it to the higher-ups and detain me?”
Mrs. Hu could no longer suppress the emotions she had been holding back for a long time. She said angrily, “Let me tell you, there’s a limit to my patience. I don’t have time to continue wasting time with you. No one can delay my flight.”
“Mrs. Hu, 1 understand how you feel now, but we’re just following the rules.” Yu Feng deliberately put on a very sincere attitude. “Don’t be anxious. We’ll report to the higher-ups immediately. 1 believe it won’t take long to get a reply. At that time, if you want to leave, no one will stop you.”
“Stop talking nonsense with me. Let me tell you the truth. If 1 want to leave now, on what basis do you think you can stop me? Do you dare to compete with my professionally trained bodyguards with this little effort?”
Mrs. Hu did not suppress the anger in her heart and showed her mockery unscrupulously. “I advise you to get my phone over now and send us to the plane immediately. This way, nothing will happen.”
“Aren’t you too naive? Mrs. Hu, don’t tell me you really think that the security officers nowadays are all vegetarians?”
Yu Feng knew that the time was basically ripe, so he added, “But if you really think so, you can try. We’ll definitely accompany you to the end.”
This time, there was no need for Mrs. Hu to continue retorting. One of the bodyguards stood up. “Damn it, I’ve already tolerated you for a long time. Do you know who you’re talking to now? If you think you’ve lived too long, 1 can help you with that..”
