Chapter 119 My Family’s Airline
Soon, officers from the airport police station arrived. Seeing Xia Lili blocking passengers from boarding the plane, they stared at her sternly, "What's going on? Which unit are you from?"
“Is the ID fake?”
Someone in the crowd shouted, and Xia Lili's fingers, which were holding her police ID, stiffened slightly.
She wore a light blue dress with butterfly embroidery to meet the guests at the airport today. Her pearl earrings swayed gently with her rapid breathing. She looked more like a young lady on vacation than a police officer on duty.
The officer on duty repeatedly looked over her ID, his brow furrowed. "Comrade Xia, you're only a Level 2 officer. You don't have cross-jurisdictional law enforcement authority, and you don't have approval from your superiors. It's against procedure to rashly request a flight stop and inspection like this."
The passengers around have begun to complain impatiently:
"With such strict security checks, how could any dangerous goods be missed?"
“Is this a prank? Who’s responsible for delaying the flight?”
“She wasn’t even wearing a uniform, so who knows if she was a real police officer?”
Xia Lili's ears felt hot, and she was about to explain again when her cell phone suddenly vibrated - it was a string of numbers.
She quickly picked up the phone, and Li Qihan's low voice came from the other end:
“Did the airport police cooperate with you?”
Xia Lili glanced at the police officer who still had a cold face and lowered her voice: "They said they have to go through the procedures. It may be too late..."
Li Qihan didn't waste any more words: "Write down the number and ask them to answer after dialing it."
After hanging up the phone, Xia Lili quickly dialed the number Li Qihan gave her, and the call was connected almost instantly.
"Hello, Comrade Xia."
"This is the Civil Aviation Administration of China's Aviation Security Department. Could you please pass the call to the airport police station?"
Xia Lili's heart skipped a beat, and she immediately handed the phone to the police officer: "Looking for you."
The other party took it suspiciously, and just after he said "Hello", his face changed.
"Yes! Understood! Execute immediately!"
After hanging up the phone, the police officer's forehead was already sweating. When he handed the phone back to her with both hands, his tone softened completely:
"Officer Xia, we'll arrange a second security check immediately!"
The next second, the airport broadcast suddenly sounded -
"Dear passengers, please note that flight AF1431 has been suspended for safety reasons..."
The official voice announcement from the airport instantly caused the crowds queuing to go wild!
"Are you kidding? I'm rushing to Neon to sign a contract!"
A middle-aged man in a suit pushed through the crowd, the Rolex on his wrist reflecting a dazzling light.
He was followed by two men who looked like assistants, who were anxiously checking their watches.
Xia Lili scanned his boarding pass - Zhang Weinian.
She studied finance in college and had read reports about this person in related courses. He was the president of the well-known industrial company Zhuyang Industry.
Zhang Weinian glanced at Xia Lili and asked, "What's going on? After you came here, no one was allowed to board the flight."
"It's an aviation safety regulation."
Xia Lili calmly blocked the boarding gate and said, "Please cooperate with the inspection."
"Regulations?" Zhang Weinian sneered. "I pay 100 million in taxes every year, and this is the kind of service I get in return?"
He whipped out his phone and said, "I want to file a complaint!"
There was a chorus of agreement from the crowd.
A lady dressed in elite attire also stepped forward and said, "I have to fly overseas to sue a client. I'm wasting time. Can you afford to compensate me? My one-minute consultation fee is in US dollars!"
"Girl, I have to give an academic lecture. Today's flight can't take me there, and there are no other suitable flights. Do you want me to take a rocket there?"
…
Faced with heavy pressure, Xia Lili broke out in cold sweat on her back. She used to be particularly afraid of these client bosses when she was at work, not to mention that the person standing in front of her now was not just one person, but a group of people!
"What's going on? Hasn't it been checked?"
"How long will the secondary security check take?"
The passengers in the queue cursed and complained, and under the leadership of Zhang Weinian, they directed their anger at Xia Lili.
In their opinion, it was Xia Lili who prevented the plane from taking off, and Xia Lili did not have the skin bonus of the uniform, so she looked like a college student and had no deterrent effect.
"What's going on? I've already boarded the plane and I'm being called back!"
A crisp female voice came from the direction of the covered bridge. A young girl wearing JC luxury high heels and carrying a Birkin walked out with a frown on her face. As she walked, she complained to her phone:
"Dad! Didn't you say this flight was absolutely fine? I was already seated and I was kicked off!"
This young girl is Liang Chuyue, the second daughter of the CEO of Ruiling Airlines.
The other end of the phone seemed to say a few words of comfort, but she became even more impatient: "I have a restaurant appointment tonight and I have to watch the fireworks display. If I'm late, my bestie will definitely scold me to death!"
She hung up the phone, pursed her red lips tightly, and her eyes were full of "I am very unhappy".
At this moment, Zhang Weinian saw her and his eyes lit up, "Chu Yue, are you taking this flight too?"
"Uncle Zhang?" Liang Chuyue was slightly surprised.
The two seemed to know each other.
Zhang Weinian glanced at Xia Lili. "This young officer insisted there was something wrong with our flight, that there were dangerous goods in the cargo hold, and insisted on grounding the flight and conducting a second inspection of the cargo hold!"
Liang Chuyue's eyes instantly fixed on Xia Lili, looking her up and down - she was wearing a light blue dress, pearl earrings, and not even a decent watch on her slender wrist.
"Just you?"
She looked Xia Lili up and down, and suddenly laughed out loud, "Do police recruit people based on appearance these days?"
Xia Lili responded calmly: "There may be unreported lithium batteries in the cargo hold, and a second confirmation is required."
"Impossible!" Liang Chuyue sneered. "Railin Airlines' cargo hold screening is the most stringent in the industry. Every batch of cargo must undergo triple verification!"
She knew this so well, of course, because it was her uncle who was in charge of Ruiling Air's freight forwarding.
Although security checks are the responsibility of the airport security department, airlines must also bear responsibility for submitting documents such as cargo lists and dangerous goods declarations to the security department!
If there is a problem in this area, her uncle will be in trouble.
So Liang Chuyue was very panicked.
She became more and more excited as she spoke, and suddenly her eyes became sharp as if she had thought of something:
"Wait... Could it be that someone is deliberately looking for trouble?"
Liang Chuyue took a step forward, her high heels clicking with an imposing manner:
"Did you accept money from another airline? Are you deliberately creating panic and discrediting Ruiling?"
Xia Lili's pupils trembled when she heard this:?
This conspiracy theory is a bit too outrageous.
She frowned slightly, but before she could speak, Liang Chuyue had already taken out her cell phone and quickly dialed: "Uncle! Someone is deliberately causing trouble for us!"
"There's a problem with the cargo hold, the plane can't fly, and now the passengers are saying they want to complain to our airline!"
…
"Okay, the results of the second examination are out. Call me right away so I can tell you the time!"
Liang Chuyue hung up the phone helplessly and looked up at Xia Lili. "Miss, if there's nothing wrong with the cargo hold, how are you going to compensate our airline and the passengers for the missed flight?"
