Chapter 579: 286 Plotting Attack (Second Watch)
With that, she pushed open the door of the private room and walked out.
As soon as Ming Jing left, Bai Ziyan moved closer to Qu Feitai, excitedly patted him on the back, “Nice, bro, there’s a chance! I support you.”
Qu Feitai slapped away his hand, coldly saying, “Don’t talk nonsense, Ming Jing is helping me.”
She would do the same for anyone in the room.
Bai Ziyan raised his eyebrows: “Bro, I’ll give you seven words: ‘the nearer water platform gets the moon first.’”
Liu Muxue glared at Qu Feitai.
With the halo of being a big star gone, she found him more and more annoying now.
All men in the world are annoying.
Liu Muxue deliberately knocked the cups and saucers to make a harsh noise, not hiding her sarcasm: “I’ll give someone eight words: ‘a toad wants to eat swan meat, huh!’”
She grabbed a handful of melon seeds from the plate, did not care about the others’ interesting expressions, got up, and ran out.
Bai Ziyan’s face turned pale: “Who is she calling a toad?”
Song Yinzhang helplessly said: “I, I am the toad…”
It’s hard to be a human!
Qu Feitai showed no change in expression, looked at the time, and put down his chopsticks: “It’s about time. Let’s go and take them to the airport.”
Everyone was relatively quiet on the way to the airport.
Even the most boisterous Bai Ziyan went silent.
Liu Muxue stood up and looked at the front seat, and found that he was asleep, with saliva almost dripping out.
He either eats or sleeps, like a reincarnated pig.
Liu Muxue took out her phone and sneakily took a photo of Bai Ziyan’s indecent sleeping position.
The “click” of her camera shutter didn’t close.
At this moment, Bai Ziyan opened his eyes, still looking a little dazed. When he saw Liu Muxue holding her phone, he instantly reacted, jumped up and tried to snatch Liu Muxue’s phone.
“You dare to take pictures of me? Delete the photo!”
Liu Muxue refused to give in, and while they were fighting, Bai Ziyan’s face was accidentally scratched by her sharp nails.
Bai Ziyan and Liu Muxue both paused. Before Bai Ziyan could get angry, Liu Muxue quickly said, “Who asked you to grab my phone? I’ll say sorry to you, okay? I never say sorry to anyone.”
She said it as if the person being apologized to was lucky.
Bai Ziyan got even angrier, and just as they were about to start fighting again, Song Yinzhang, who was sitting next to Bai Ziyan and affected by the commotion, said emotionlessly: “Master, stop the car. You two get off and fight.”
The two obediently sat down, snorted, and each settled in their seats.
Ming Jing sat in the back and watched the scene with a slight smile on her lips.
Qu Feitai raised his eyebrows and whispered, “When we were in elementary school, a beautiful little girl transferred to our class and became Little Bai’s deskmate. Little Bai bullied her every day, like setting her braids on fire, hiding mustard in her cookies, putting caterpillars in her textbooks, and all sorts of other mean stuff. That little girl cried and ran home almost every day. One day she stopped coming to school, and the teacher told us she had transferred. Little Bai started crying on the spot.”
“We asked him, ‘Don’t you hate her? You bully her every day. Now that she’s gone like you wanted, why are you so sad?’”
“Do you know what Little Bai said then?” Qu Feitai looked at Ming Jing.
Ming Jing smiled, “To tease someone is not to hate them, but to try to attract their attention. However, he didn’t realize how much trauma and damage his self-righteous behavior could cause a young girl.”
Qu Feitai smiled, “I knew I couldn’t hide it from you. I think Bai Ziyan has met his match this time. One thing will lower another thing, enough for him to be vexed.”
When they arrived at the airport, Qu Feitai couldn’t get out of the car. He said to Ming Jing, “I’ll talk to you about the MV on WeChat tomorrow. Have a good rest tonight and send me a text when you get home.”
Ming Jing nodded, put on her backpack, and got out of the car.
“Chick, goodbye, no, never see you again.” Liu Muxue made a grimace, and before Bai Ziyan could get angry, she hurriedly got out of the car.
“Little Bai, Little Fei, I’m leaving. Come and visit Jiangzhou when you have time.” Song Yinzhang waved and walked out of the car.
Breathing in the fresh air, they finally felt alive again.
Seeing the three of them disappear at the entrance of the airport, Qu Feitai pulled back his gaze, saying indifferently, “Let’s go.”
“Where to?” Bai Ziyan suddenly felt bored, the sadness of parting swept over him, making him sentimental.
“I heard that Red Moon got a super hot new girl, and her first night was all the rage. How about I take you there to join the fun?”
Qu Feitai kicked at him, “Get lost.”——
The moment the business car left, a taxi stopped immediately afterwards.
“That’s eighty-two yuan in total.” The driver showed his WeChat code.
However, the passenger in the back seat handed over a hundred-yuan banknote without saying a word, then got out of the car and walked away quickly.
“Hey, I haven’t given you change yet.” The driver stuck his head out of the window and shouted, but the other party seemed to be deaf, not turning back as he entered the airport terminal.
The driver stared at the banknote in his hand and muttered, “What a strange person.”
He was wrapped from head to toe with no skin exposed, which was quite exaggerated even for winter.
Nowadays, young people rarely use paper money, they should keep up with the times.
Could he be a fugitive?
“Beep, beep” a car behind honked. The security guard also gestured at him, so the taxi driver hurriedly started the car and left, shaking his head to cast the strange person out of his mind.
The three of them were in line at the check-in counter to complete their boarding procedures.
Liu Muxue was twisting her head in boredom when she suddenly spotted the strange person. She quickly grabbed Ming Jing and pointed to the man, “Could he be a terrorist? That’s how they play it in movies.”
Immediately, her mind filled with dozens of hijacking scenes.
Ming Jing gave a cursory glance, “Maybe he has a skin condition?”
“He could also be like Nana, recovering from cosmetic surgery and not fit to be seen, haha.” Liu Muxue quickly put the matter out of her mind.
After completing the procedures, the three of them turned to leave the counter, leaving a long queue behind them.
Liu Muxue was texting someone on her phone, Song Yinzhang was checking the boarding passes and comparing them with the flight information scrolling on the large screen opposite, while Ming Jing was lagging behind the two.
As Ming Jing brushed past the man, his fingertips moved slightly, and he lowered his eyes without a sound.
“Excuse me, please show your ID,” the staff at the counter gently reminded.
The man took out his ID card and placed it on the counter.
The staff member took it, placed the ID on the device, and quickly displayed the man’s identity and ticket information on the computer screen.
“Hello, Mr. Cen. You bought today’s J2508 flight to Jiangzhou at 12:45 pm, economy class. The system has automatically assigned you a seat… Do you need to check in any baggage?”
The man shook his head.
With an unchanged smile, the staff member said, “I’m sorry, can you please take off your sunglasses so we can verify your identity?”
Airport staff were used to seeing all kinds of people, but this man’s outfit was quite strange. They had to make sure he wasn’t up to anything bad.
Hearing the request, the man took off his sunglasses and mask. The staff took a close look, confirming the person matched the photo on the ID, a bit handsome, but perhaps having gained weight, as his face appeared puffier than in the photo, with his eyes slightly red.
As long as they confirmed it was the same person and he wasn’t on any wanted list, the staff let their guard down.
“Here’s your boarding pass, please take care of it…”
Before the staff finished speaking, the man took the boarding pass and turned to leave.
Before takeoff, the announcement kindly reminded passengers to turn off their phones or switch them to flight mode.
Seated by the window in economy class, the man looked at the latest message sent by Contact Y five minutes ago on his phone.
It was a person’s information.
——Name: Zhou Xue, age: 29, education: Undergraduate degree in Business Management from Jiangzhou University, went abroad to earn a Master’s in Management from Massachusetts Institute of Technology an M Country, returned to become the assistant secretary of someone…
The list laid out all of the person’s likes and dislikes so clearly that the individual themselves probably didn’t know them so well.
The moment he finished reading the last word, the information was automatically deleted.
To attack one’s plans is to subdue the enemy without fighting.
The man turned off his phone, looked towards the clouds, which were like cotton, getting closer and closer outside the window.
Blue skies represented freedom, seemingly within reach.
Once she thought the same, but in the end, it came at a terrible price.
Now, like her, I have become a prisoner in this cage, unable to break free.
I watch the clouds you once saw, feel the wind you once felt, and walk the roads you once walked.
Never has life been so carefree.
Even if the path he’s on is one that leads to death.
