116 "Left engine failure."

Meng Liyue received a call from her mother, walked out of the lounge, stood in the corridor, and asked her: "What are you doing now?"

"I was just about to go out, so I thought I'd give you a call to talk about something."

"Okay, I'm free, go ahead."

"I, well..." Mother was a lot more nervous than usual, "There's Uncle Feng. When you have a break, can we have a meal together?"

Hearing this, Meng Liyue immediately guessed the reason. She was happy for her mother, but also very curious: "When did you meet? How come I didn't know about it? Why did you keep it a secret from me for so long?"

"Isn't it because you're busy with work? I want to wait until everything is settled before telling you."

Mother Meng said this with some embarrassment: "He was my former classmate, but we were not together at that time for various reasons."

"Back then, I married Xu Dejin, and he also got married and had children, but his ex-wife was doing business overseas, and he still felt that life in China was more stable, so we were separated and divorced within a few years. He never looked for another wife afterwards."

"After meeting him a while ago, I found that he and I had a good affinity, so I decided to give it a try."

Meng Liyue understood the general situation and of course supported her mother in finding her happiness. She had the right to continue pursuing love at any time and at any age.

"Okay." Meng Liyue agreed readily, "I'm off tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, so we can make an appointment to meet first."

With her daughter's support, Mother Meng naturally felt more confident and relieved: "Well, I will discuss it with your Uncle Feng now. Let's meet and ask him to come with us!"

"Okay."

"You are still at work, I won't bother you for now, I will arrange a time later."

After the call, Meng Liyue became happy. Everyone has to move forward. She was very happy that her mother had the courage to start a new life.

At this time, Li Fuzheng had already landed in Shenzhen.

He finished his trip, turned on his phone and saw a message from Meng Liyue.

Wife: “I miss you so much.”

The curve of the man's mouth became more and more obvious. The co-pilot Song Xiao beside him even joked: "Brother Zheng, you must be reading the news about your sister-in-law. You are smiling so happily."

"Yes, she asked me to go home early."

Li Fuzheng raised his wrist. This flight was on time. It would take off in three hours and land before half past six. He would be outside the control hall at half past seven. After waiting for half an hour, Meng Liyue would be off work.

The man who seemed a little cold and difficult to approach during the flight now had a completely different demeanor.

Song Xiao also said boldly: "Seeing you like this, I kind of want to get married as soon as possible."

Li Fuzheng shook his head: "Marriage is not the goal. What's more important is whether you can meet someone worth marrying."

After returning to China, he seldom thought about the issue of marriage. He never paid attention to his mother's urging and did not think it was worth his energy.

It was not until he met Meng Liyue that he finally realized that it was not that he did not yearn for her, but she had not appeared at that time.

The backseat observer is very young and has just joined the airline. He is very excited. Even though he has not sat in the right seat many times, as long as he posts career-related updates on social media, it will arouse the interest of many people.

There are many beautiful girls who take the initiative to get to know her.

He was dazzled by the choices, and when they talked about marriage, he expressed his opinion: "But Captain, you are not even thirty yet, and you are so handsome, don't you feel it's a shame?"

"Loss?" Li Fuzheng smiled faintly, "If I don't get married soon, my wife will be snatched away by someone else, and I will be at a loss."

He doesn’t care what young people think, and no one else will know... how good Meng Liyue is.

Whether it is her charm at work or the unique treatment she provides him in life, everything about her attracts him all the time.

The brief conversation between Bodaoli and Meng Liyue was something that Li Fuzheng had actually repeated countless times before her.

In English, it is "with you", in Chinese, it is "at your command", or it can be a greeting before the start and a thank you after the end. Many pilots will communicate with control in this way on the frequency.

This is just a procedural pattern. After being repeated too many times every day, some people gradually began to skip it in order to communicate more briefly.

However, Li Fuzheng was accustomed to the strictness of the instructions.

Not only did he say the same thing to Meng Liyue, but it was only Meng Liyue who had an unexpected encounter with him and a commitment that he wanted to have for a longer period of time.

After a quick lunch, we waited for the maintenance staff to complete the transit inspection and started preparing for the next leg of the flight.

It was the same process that had been repeated countless times. The moment the plane took off, a total of 232 passengers on board, including 12 crew members, were all looking forward to arriving at their destination.

However, the weather was a bit bad on the return route. When passing Guangxi, the Li Fu Zheng made a slight detour, 50 nautical miles away, to avoid the thunderstorm.

Fortunately, the weather area scanned by the onboard radar was not large, and the aircraft returned to the original route soon and continued to move forward.

The weather was fine at this time, and the aircraft, which was handed over to autopilot, was operating smoothly and still in cruising mode. Everything was normal.

Li Fuzheng stared at the instrument, and soon the plane entered the descent phase.

Outside the window is the blue sky and cotton-like clouds.

In the passenger cabin, many window-sitting passengers were taking photos, and the crew was preparing to carry out passenger cabin work during the aircraft's descent.

Without any warning, the fuselage shook violently, the left engine of the plane surged noticeably, making a strong "bang" sound, and the entire plane began to shake abnormally.

A pungent smell spread throughout the cabin, and almost instantly everyone smelled something unusual.

The accident happened without any signs, causing panic and fear to spread in the cabin. The shrill cry of a baby also broke the silence at this time: "Wow——"

"Oh my God, what's going on!"

"What's going on... Is the plane broken down?!"

"Staff! Steward!"

"Nothing will happen to us, right?"

Fear of the unknown was written on every passenger's face. At an altitude of more than 8,000 meters, any small accident could turn into a fatal danger.

Inside the cockpit, Li Fuzheng had also discovered the abnormal situation.

Song Xiao quickly asked him: "Brother Zheng, was there a bird attack?"

At this altitude, the birds are well within reach of the aircraft's engines.

Sniffing the smell coming from the cockpit, Li Fuzheng just frowned slightly and quickly shook his head: "It shouldn't be a bird attack."

If a bird strike had caused an engine fire, there would have been a very distinct smell of burning meat, but this stench was more like the burning texture of the engine itself.

"Fire alarm, engine failure alarm..."

Song Xiao looked at the alarm information on the control panel and spoke faster: "The left engine failed."

The back-row observer swallowed nervously.

Then Li Fuzheng calmly ordered: "Shut down the left engine."
