Extra Chapter 26

The old man received a phone call and heard that all aircraft systems in the United States had been paralyzed. Now the whole world knows about it.

Most importantly, the dozen or so experts who were supposed to be sent back today can't come back either. Old Master Chang's expression was grim; he didn't know if this was true or a conspiracy by the United States. Chang Yin had a gut feeling that this was related to Yueyue.

Upon hearing the news, Chang Yin's expression instantly turned serious, and a strong sense of unease welled up within him. He disregarded everything else and hurried towards his room, unsure how Yueyue had managed it; each step was filled with barely concealed anxiety.

As soon as he entered the room, he immediately took the transmitter out of his ring. At this moment, he no longer cared whether Yueyue liked him or not, and went straight to asking about the United States.

While waiting for Tang Yue's reply, Chang Yin's fingers unconsciously tapped on the table. His eyes were fixed on the transmitter, hoping that Yueyue was safe.

Therefore, every second of waiting felt like torture; time seemed to have deliberately slowed down, causing him immense suffering.

In an empty room of a high-end hotel in the United States, Tang Yue leaned lazily against a soft sofa. Sunlight streamed through the window, casting a small, elongated silhouette on her. A slight smile played on her lips, and a mischievous glint gleamed in her eyes.

Sensing the spatial anomaly, he immediately took out his transmitter and saw a message from Chang Yin: "Hmm, everything's normal today."

"Sigh, it would be great if I could talk to the battalion commander before I leave. But if I make a call before leaving, I might get targeted by the US, so I'd better not!"

Tang Yue was in a good mood and immediately sent a reply, her tone full of undisguised joy. "Haha, Battalion Commander, you're so smart. It really was me."

When Chang Yin received this message, he could imagine Tang Yue's appearance at that moment. She must be very happy, still smiling, her eyes curving into crescent moons, looking like a little fox who had just stolen some fish.

Before Chang Yin could finish processing the information, another message came in. Chang Yin continued translating.

"I spent a long time collecting information from various research centers in the United States, and combined it with my previous knowledge and experience, and finally designed this program. Last night I implanted the program into the US aviation system."

Now everyone in the US can see a veiled skull on their aviation system, I'm dying of laughter!

Chang Yin felt that Tang Yue was standing right next to him, talking and gesturing, and he couldn't shake off his excitement.

Chang Yin felt that Tang Yue wouldn't do something like this without a reason. It seemed that American airlines must have offended Yueyue. Or perhaps, something was related to aviation.

Chang Yin thought this through and asked directly.

This time, Tang Yue's tone became serious. "Battalion Commander, the US's plan this time is extremely malicious. They coerced and lured 12 experts back to China, intending to use them against China. These experts were coerced by the US into secretly sending all of China's technology and secrets to the US."

I just finished translating this one, and another one came in. "I will absolutely not let them succeed! That's why I struck first and crippled their aviation system, temporarily halting their plans. But they certainly won't give up easily, so we need to find a way to deal with them."

At this moment, Old Master Chang was unaware that Chang Yin had already contacted Tang Yue. He was worried about the experts' inability to return to China. Just as he was wondering who to discuss this issue with, the phone rang again.

Grandpa Chang answered the phone and, upon hearing that there was a continuous signal coming from his house, he paused for a moment. "I understand. I'll check what's going on now."

Chang Yin learned of the US conspiracy. Without waiting for Tang Yue's further message, he took the translated contents and went out. As soon as he opened the door, he saw Old Master Chang coming upstairs.

Chang Yin walked over and handed the paper to the old man. The old man's face darkened upon reading the contents. So that's how it is. "It seems the US not only prepared these twelve experts, but Yueyue must have done this to cut off the US's supply of personnel."

After all, this is just one city.

Chang Yin nodded. Yueyue was probably afraid that the same thing was happening in other parts of the United States. So she simply cut off all transportation, temporarily immobilizing the US. This gave China enough time to prepare.

Grandpa Chang took the paper and went straight out the door.

In those short ten minutes, the news of the US plane's malfunction was like a boulder thrown into a calm lake, instantly stirring up a huge wave in the international community and sparking widespread attention and heated discussions around the world.

Media outlets around the world turned their cameras and pens to the incident, with reports flooding the headlines and dominating major publications. The American newspaper, The Times, ran a striking headline, "US aviation system suddenly paralyzed, chaos shocks," detailing the scenes of stranded passengers and disorder at US airports and analyzing the potential ripple effects on the global aviation industry and economy.

The French newspaper The Times published a commentary questioning the safety and stability of the U.S. aviation system, arguing that such a large-scale outage exposed serious problems in the U.S. aviation technology and management.

Russian media also paid close attention to the matter. The Russian Sputnik News Agency reported that the paralysis of the US aviation system not only affected the US's own transportation and economy, but also brought a huge impact to the global air transport network, raising new concerns about international aviation safety.

Governments around the world reacted swiftly, issuing statements to express their concern.

After a meeting of Chinese leaders, including President Chang, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated that China is concerned about the US aviation system outage and hopes that the US can investigate the cause as soon as possible, take effective measures to restore normal operations, and ensure the safety and rights of passengers.

This international turmoil triggered by the malfunction of a US aircraft has not only made the US the focus of global attention, but has also prompted countries around the world to rethink aviation safety and international cooperation.

In other circumstances, countries might not have commented so quickly, especially regarding the situation in the United States. However, everyone understands the importance of aviation to a nation, and the fact that the US is facing such a crisis, which it cannot resolve in a short time, has given people a new perspective on the US's power.

Perhaps this is a public test.

Inside the Oval Office of the White House in the United States, the atmosphere was so heavy it seemed like it could be squeezed out of water. The president, his face grim, sat at his desk, his eyes glued to the constantly flashing computer screen in front of him, which scrolled through reports of chaos at airports across the country.

His hands were clenched into fists, his knuckles turned white from the force, and the veins on his forehead bulged slightly, clearly indicating that he was suppressing his anger and anxiety.

"What exactly is going on? It's been so long, and we still can't find the cause?"

The president slammed his hand on the table, stood up, and roared at the politicians standing beside him, his voice filled with anger and dissatisfaction.

A senior politician cautiously began, “Mr. President, our technical team and intelligence agencies are investigating with all their might, but the attack was extremely sophisticated and covert, and we have not yet found any concrete leads.”
