Chapter 396: Storm
It was not until the word "Me" came out at the end that Su Yun, who was ambushed by someone beside her, suddenly realized that Tom was not calling her by her English name, but wanted to say "Marry Me" to her - that is, he was expressing his feelings to her and proposing to her.
No wonder the tone is a little unusual and weird.
I thought I had misheard, but it turned out to be this...
The above thoughts passed in just a moment, and the two men's hands holding the control sticks were still together. Instead, they forced themselves to calm down amid the violent shock of the forced landing, and exerted even more force on their hands.
The runway is neither short nor long, but it is definitely not an easy test for these two co-pilots who are rushing to get on the plane.
Seeing everything ahead, both of them were determined to fight to the death. Their spirits were strained to the limit, and their hands were so strong that they shouted out loud—
It was not until the vibrations of the entire plane gradually subsided that the two men stared at the dim morning light ahead with bloodshot eyes. Only then, in the aftermath of the excitement of surviving a disaster, did they confirm that the plane had successfully landed.
Although the landing angle seemed to be a little off, and the runway had almost "run" to the end, but - in the end - the emergency landing was successful, safe, and without any damage!
I subconsciously looked at the person next to me, and couldn't help but laugh out loud with a complex feeling of escaping death.
Soon, ground crew, medical rescue teams and police officers who had been waiting nearby came over and worked with the flight attendants on the plane to start taking the injured out of the plane.
Fortunately, apart from the captain who had been confirmed to have died suddenly but insisted on activating the aircraft's autopilot system at the last moment of his life to buy a glimmer of hope for everyone, the injuries of the other crazy passengers and those injured by the crazy passengers in the melee, although different, were basically not life-threatening.
As for the man with the bouquet who got on the plane under the pretext of proposing marriage but actually came to take revenge on Mireles, after being caught and interrogated by the police, they soon found out the reasons and consequences of his actions.
The man holding the flowers is the younger brother of one of the two gangsters who died in the Miami incident, and he himself is also a member of that organization. After learning that Mireles was the old agent who ended the battle, the seed of revenge for his brother has been quietly planted in his heart.
Considering that Mireles was under heavy protection at the time, he decided to wait for the right moment and come up with a foolproof revenge plan.
As a result, before this revenge plan was ready, it encountered the tragic ending of the Miami incident. The relevant law enforcement agencies, especially the FBI, suffered from insufficient firepower and insufficient protective gear. Not only did they launch a comprehensive plan to replace weapons and protective gear, they even planned internal adjustments. It seemed that they had learned a lesson from this incident and wanted to desperately correct the deficiencies that had been exposed.
This will inevitably cause a lot of trouble for them in getting things done in the future.
With all the new and old grudges accumulated, how could the man holding the flowers not hate Mireles to the core?
He waited for more than two months before Mireles was released from protection. Then, according to the itinerary arranged by the police, he secretly chartered the first-class cabin of a night flight of an ordinary passenger plane, intending to hide his name and identity and recuperate in a place where no one knew him.
Originally, the airline wanted to cooperate with the police and refund the tickets of all passengers who had booked first-class seats on this flight. However, it was discovered that two people refused to refund. After checking the names of the two people and confirming that there was no problem, Mireles did not make things difficult for the airline. Instead, he said that it would be easier to conceal his presence with someone nearby - especially since the two people in the same area as him were big stars known to many people. If anything happened, it would definitely attract all the attention that wanted to be focused on this area.
What was unexpected was that the gangsters, who had been quiet for a long time, were actually planning such a revenge.
"If you two hadn't stepped forward, this would have become the biggest case of the Miami incident." Mireles looked at Su Yun and the others gratefully, "Thank you very much..."
Thanks to his momentary overthinking, he allowed these two people on the plane. Otherwise, after the two pilots were deliberately dealt with by the man with the flowers, this plane would have surely carried with it his ruthless mentality of destroying both himself and the enemy, taking away nearly a hundred lives.
"We are just trying to save ourselves, it's not that great." Su Yun waved his hands quickly.
"Yeah, we didn't do anything either." Tom also expressed his opinion.
"No matter what, we have to thank you this time..." The police officers sitting next to Mireles also thanked Su Yun and the others, and then added, "We will try our best to help you solve other problems. After you finish recording your statements, someone will take you out through the back door - or do you plan to stay in the police station and avoid the limelight for the time being?"
After all, in order to keep in touch with the police, Su Yun kept the black technology live broadcast on. Apart from the possibility that their faces and identities would be recognized by the criminals, their celebrity status and the proposal at the critical moment... were enough to attract the media's attention.
Anyway, there is no need to ask colleagues outside, the police officers on the scene can guess how many reporters who have heard the news are "ambushing" outside the police station gate.
Su Yun and Tom were of course no exception to such speculation and psychological preparation, so Tom lowered his head and apologized to Su Yun embarrassedly, saying frankly that he was too impulsive at the time and brought her trouble again.
"Forget it, it's hard to blame you." Su Yun sighed and shook his head.
The reason why Tom expressed his feelings to her and proposed to her directly at such a life-and-death moment was largely because it was already a moment to leave everything to fate - so it is not difficult to understand why he did not want to leave this world with regrets.
If someone directly confessed his love and proposed to her in some romantic occasion, Su Yun would think that such a "surprise attack" would only cause her trouble.
But in that situation, he desperately summoned up the courage to speak out those words that went from friendship to secret love, and then to confessing his feelings and wanting to take responsibility for his life at a moment when everyone thought he might leave...
Perhaps it was the suspension bridge effect, but it is undeniable that Su Yun herself was almost moved for a moment.
But after being moved, her remaining rationality and the dangerous reality quickly brought her back to her senses, so that she did not speak a single word to Tom from the moment she got off the plane to the moment she was protected in the office to be questioned by the police.
It was not just out of anger, there was also emotion and feeling - anyone who heard that there was a person who had been secretly in love with him/her for a long time, but never dared to express his/her feelings for fear of causing trouble to his/her sweetheart, until he/she felt that he/she was worthy of his/her sweetheart, and then he/she expressed his/her feelings at the critical moment and risked everything at the same time, it would be hard not to be moved by such deep affection.
Especially when the person who confesses his love to you and proposes to you is a super handsome man in his prime.
In this circle, this age is the best period for career development, and at the right time, a blockbuster movie that can make you a national idol is coming along. If you rashly make your relationship public, your career will definitely suffer a big blow.
But he still said it, and even prepared the ring...
Although she herself was in the development stage of her career, the romantic love movie-like plot caused by such an accident really touched her...for a moment.
When she got off the plane, some gossipy passengers came up to her and asked her if she and Tom were in a secret relationship because they were dressed up like this and took a red-eye flight together...
"Hemosa Beach is a famous couple's beach!" Those love-brained gossip-lovers had just escaped death, so they were naturally in an extremely excited mood. Moreover, Tom is a popular national idol and the dream lover of thousands of women recently. If they could really gossip about his "secret love affair", it is estimated that the shock of the incident would be no less than this plane accident.
If ordinary people were so concerned, let alone Ovitz, who had been closely following the news of the accident and had learned that Su Yun and the other person had made a safe emergency landing.
He was on business in Los Angeles at the time and rushed over overnight. He was troubled by the two people hiding in the lounge provided by the police and not daring to go out.
"I've told you many times that you should think before doing anything, why don't you listen!" Ovitz mainly vented his anger at Tom: Although both of them had problems, Su Yun was his partner and the one who was proposed to, and Su Yun's past deeds were basically all about buying, buying, and buying in various risky investments. So in Ovitz's eyes, Tom, who made stupid mistakes from time to time, was the "mastermind" of this turmoil.
Tom obediently endured the training, and Su Yun drank water guiltily. After a while, when Ovitz was finally tired of spraying, the two of them relaxed a little.
However, Ovitz did not intend to let them off so easily. He looked at the two men seriously and asked, "What are you going to do next this time?"
Even though he said "you guys", it seemed that Ovitz's eyes were mainly looking at Su Yun - perhaps Tom was already a trouble-maker in his eyes, so he was ignored on the spot.
"I already have some ideas..." Su Yun was about to speak, but suddenly Ovitz, who suddenly realized that he had thought of something, raised his hand to stop her from speaking.
"Let's not talk about that for now. You'd better answer this question honestly - why did you two secretly make an appointment to go to... the famous couple's beach?"
