Chapter 300: 136, offering a big reward for hiring mercenaries! Important intelligence about Chen Shanhe!_1
Northern Sea City didn’t have direct international flights to New York, so Lin Mo and the others drove to Nanning Wuxu International Airport.
The car was parked in the underground parking lot, and then Lin Mo informed the previous car rental shop through WeChat to send someone to pick up the car.
They would definitely pay a bit more money, but the convenience was the main selling point.
Once out of the car,
everyone carried their own luggage and headed towards Terminal 2.
Maybe because it was just after the New Year, there were a lot of people at the airport, including many foreigners.
Lin Siyu, looking a bit nervous, asked softly, “Brother, with our current situation, we won’t be found out during the security check, right?”
After all, they were using fake identities, making everyone feel insecure.
Even Lin Xiaoxiao felt the same way.
Lin Mo had also cautioned his daughter beforehand that if they were accidentally discovered, they would be eliminated by the production team.
“Don’t worry, it definitely won’t be a problem,” Lin Mo reassured in a low voice as they walked, “And even if there’s a chance we might be exposed, we can’t change anything now, we’ll just have to deal with it as it comes.”
Zhang Li nodded in agreement and added reassuringly, “Don’t worry, I… I’ll protect you.”
He had been out with Lin Mo before and knew the power of disguise, and that Lin Mo never acted carelessly, so he wasn’t very nervous.
Upon hearing Zhang Li’s words, Lin Siyu felt a touch of warmth in her heart. She wanted to thank Zhang Li but was afraid she would become overly engrossed in personal emotions, so in the end, she didn’t say anything.
Subsequently, they breezed through the airport security check without any incidents – their passports were fine, they weren’t carrying any prohibited items, and they traveled with little luggage, so they weren’t afraid to undergo checks.
Once everyone had passed security, they came to the exclusive first-class lounge.
There was an ample array of buffet food available.
Tons of afternoon tea desserts were also abundant, and what’s most important is that everything here was free of charge – you could eat however you wanted.
They had just seen someone who only wanted the beef from a bowl of beef noodles, so they asked the flight attendant to help them with it. The attendant didn’t say anything and simply fished out a big bowl of beef slices for them.
After waiting around an hour in the lounge, they began to go through the boarding security check.
This was the moment when the family was at their most anxious, probably only Lin Mo was relatively calm.
Li Jinwen, who was pregnant, clutched Lin Mo’s hand tightly.
Especially upon seeing the patrolling police and dogs among the crowds, their hearts nearly leapt to their throats.
“Don’t be nervous, you’ll give us away like that.”
“Our identities are safe, don’t worry.”
Lin Mo gave his family a reminder.
Once everyone had calmed down a bit, Lin Mo proceeded to Gate 3 as arranged by the hacker previously.
The check was effortless and went very smoothly.
The staff simply cross-checked their flight information, conducted some token checks, and then let them through.
The entire process was silent, faster than the usual domestic flight checks.
Walking along the jet bridge, Lin Siyu, still nervous, patted her chest and said, “Bro, I was scared to death just now; if we stayed any longer, I might have not been able to resist the urge to run.”
Lin Mo furrowed his brows slightly and reminded her in a quiet voice, “Little sister, try not to talk about these things.”
Lin Siyu got the hint and quickly nodded her head.
Today’s technology was incredibly advanced, especially various surveillance cameras and recording devices that had become smart enough to analyze the content of their conversations through big data.
Some smartphones would, upon hearing their owner’s conversation, collaborate with other apps to push related content.
For example, if you were discussing with a friend what to eat for lunch, Meituan might quickly pop up with a notification, recommending nearby delicacies and shops.
Although the phones they used were specially made and did not have these risks, they still had to be cautious because speaking too much could potentially be picked up by a passerby’s phone.
While the probability of such an incident was very low, as long as there was a possibility, Lin Mo would find a way to avoid it.
They could not afford any mistakes.
Since they were flying first-class, they were able to board early, so there weren’t many people on the jet bridge, and they soon arrived at the airplane’s door.
“Good afternoon, sir; welcome aboard.”
“Good afternoon, madam; welcome aboard.”
“Good afternoon, sir; I’m the captain of this flight, welcome aboard.”
Several flight crew members, including the captain and chief flight attendant, stood at the airplane door, with a dedicated flight attendant leading Lin Mo and his family to the first-class section and seating them according to their boarding passes.
You have to say, having money is really nice.
Lin Mo’s previous impression of airplanes was of noisy cabins, narrow aisles, and cramped seats – like the scenes described in “Voyage of the Penitent.”
But none of that existed in first class. There were only two seats per row, and the seats could recline fully, with doors on the side that could be closed for privacy and comfort.
What’s more, there was WIFI on the plane.
Once connected, the internet speed was acceptable, sufficient for watching movies and browsing Douyin without any trouble.
As for Lin Siyu and Li Jinwen, upon entering the luxurious first-class cabin, their expressions were somewhat constrained as they struggled to adapt.
And that was them trying to keep up appearances. Otherwise, they probably would have been as overwhelmed as Old Mrs. Liu entering the big city.
After all, not long ago, they were all part of the lowest strata of society, doing menial work, and their savings for an entire year might not even cover the cost of a one-way ticket on this flight.
