Chapter 122 Dramatic Reversal

At this time, at the boarding gate, the passengers of Ruiling Airlines AF1431 kept looking down at the time on their mobile phones, their faces filled with extreme impatience.

"Can it still fly? How long will the inspection take?"

"That female officer isn't a professional security officer. There's so much cargo in the hold, it's probably impossible to leave."

Just then, the announcement at the boarding gate sounded.

"Attention passengers on Airline flight AF1431. We regret to inform you that this flight will be cancelled due to special circumstances. We apologize for the inconvenience this may cause you..."

After the broadcast message was played, it caused an uproar.

"Dangerous items were indeed found on the plane"

"So what about us passengers who are rushing to fly to the Land of Cherry Blossoms? We are stuck at the airport."

…

Zhang Weinian, who had previously been the most vocal and enthusiastic in stirring up trouble, was now stunned. "Oh my god, did that little police officer really discover any dangerous goods?"

He swallowed his saliva, and suddenly remembered all the things he had been targeted at, and his face felt a little hot.

At this time, Zhang Weinian's cell phone vibrated and his assistant called.

"Mr. Zhang, Ruiling Airlines called and said they found a problem with the biological sample box we checked in!"

This sentence hit Zhang Weinian hard!

The shock made his mind go blank.

"No, it's just a coincidence..."

The color drained from Zhang Weinian's face instantly. His voice trembled as he prayed frantically in his heart, "Which airline carried the biological sample box?"

"That's the AF1431 you took today!"

The assistant was also very panicked. Was their company going to be ruined?

"The airport police have called us and are going to start an investigation immediately!"

"Mr. Zhang, those 'biological samples' in the cargo hold..." the assistant's voice leaked out of the receiver, "are NX-7 prototype batteries that the R&D department unauthorizedly checked in..."

The phone fell to the ground with a clatter.

After just a few words on the phone, Zhang Weinian was already drenched in cold sweat. He slumped down on the ground near the boarding gate in a completely undignified manner. "I... I didn't know there were NX-7 batteries in the checked luggage. Who checked this thing in?!"

“Who wants to harm me?”

Before the assistant could say anything, Xia Lili and two airport police officers walked from the ground to the second-floor boarding gate. Following them were Liang Chuyue and Xu Zhifeng, who were both filled with low pressure. The two men followed Xia Lili dejectedly like defeated roosters.

The appearance of these people instantly attracted the attention of passengers at the boarding gate.

"What the hell is going on, officer? What happened?"

"Officer, are there really any dangerous items on the plane?"

"What will happen to us passengers if the flight is cancelled?"

Two airport police officers strode toward Zhang Weinian, explaining to the passengers as they walked: "High-density energy lithium batteries were indeed detected on the plane, which are prone to fire and explosion."

"Officer Xia is correct. The item was found in the biological sample box. We are still investigating the details of the case."

"If a flight is canceled, the airline will have contingency plans and remedial measures. Please consult the service staff of Ruiling Airlines for details."

…

The two police officers did not reveal much and walked up to Zhang Weinian.

The police officer said in a serious tone, "Mr. Zhang, you are the person in charge of Zhuyang Industry, right? Please come with us."

Although they spoke politely, they were rude in their actions and lifted up Zhang Weinian who was lying limp on the ground.

This situation made all the passengers on the flight open their eyes wide in surprise.

How come Mr. Zhang, who has the highest profile, was arrested?

Is it because he offended Officer Xia, who has a big background?

Zhang Weinian was so anxious that he almost cried. His previous arrogant expression disappeared. "It really wasn't me. I took this flight myself. I carefully packed and checked in such dangerous goods. Isn't this sending myself to death?"

"This time, our company is responsible for shipping the display samples..."

When Zhang Weinian said this, his face turned even paler.

There is a mole in their company!

This seems like they want to kill him!

Zhang Weinian's words immediately made the passengers on the flight understand what was going on.

It turned out that the dangerous goods that the female police officer wanted to check had been found, and it was also found out that they were shipped by Mr. Zhang’s company!

This turn of events caught everyone off guard.

"Oh my god, there really are dangerous goods batteries, and they're consigned items from Mr. Zhang's company!"

"Mr. Zhang was the most aggressive just now..."

"I think he was really wronged. Who would plant a time bomb for themselves..."

"Haha, you still sympathize with him. He was the one who instigated us to go to the airline and put pressure on Officer Xia. If Officer Xia hadn't resisted the pressure and insisted on opening the box himself, we would be flying high in the sky, waiting to die."

…

Xia Lili watched coldly as Zhang Weinian staggered back two steps.

Zhang Weinian's eyes met Xia Lili's, as if he had grabbed a lifeline: "Officer Xia! I'm truly innocent. I even boarded this flight myself. How could I have deceived anyone by smuggling such dangerous goods and harming myself?"

"You are so good at investigating cases, you must know that I was framed, right?"

Xia Lili just looked at him calmly: "I already understand the information you mentioned."

"Don't worry, the police won't wrongly accuse you of something you didn't do."

The police officer nearby also witnessed how Zhang Weinian incited other passengers to attack Xia Lili. He couldn't help but say, "It's really fortunate that Officer Xia insisted on checking it himself this time. Otherwise, these batteries would have been in the air..."

Zhang Weinian was horrified. He knew exactly what a disaster it would be for Zhuyang Industry if the plane crashed. This was the business he had built from scratch, and it had nearly been destroyed by his arrogance.

Only then did he realize how bad and stupid his behavior was to urge the flight to take off and to use all kinds of means to attack Xia Lili.

"I'm sorry, I'm really sorry. What I said to you just now was mean-spirited. I was judging you by my own standards."

Zhang Weinian slapped himself as he spoke, looking extremely disheveled. His neatly tailored suit and shirt became wrinkled.

He cried and bowed deeply to Xia Lili to apologize, "I'm sorry, Officer Xia. I was so anxious and confused earlier. I was rushing to sign the contract and made a reckless and foolish move. I'm really sorry."

"Zhuyang Industry owes you a huge favor, and I, Zhang Weinian, owe you my life..."

The other passengers who had just targeted Xia Lili now had pale and blue faces and were extremely scared!

Although the police did not reveal the full story, they now understand through conversations between several people:

If Officer Xia hadn't withstood their fury and stopped the inspection, allowing the plane to take off—

The fate they face is likely to be death in a plane crash!
