Chapter 43 Aviation Events

"Zhang Yuan, we are here!"

As soon as they arrived at the rest area in front of the terminal, Liu Qianqian excitedly waved at him and pretended to run over.

But after being glared at by Liu Xiaoli, she immediately shrank her head.

"Why is Liu Xiaoli here too...that's right."

Zhang Yuan thought about it. There were young people everywhere on the road, and half of them were middle-aged men. It would be a miracle if Liu Xiaoli could let her daughter go out alone.

"Yuan, long time no see. You seem to have become more handsome." Chen Kun stepped forward and greeted him. Qiao Zhenyu was also there.

Shu Chang also walked up to him and nodded with a smile, holding a college entrance examination English textbook in her hand. She looked very quiet with her hidden-frame glasses.

He brings textbooks when traveling and memorizes words while waiting for the plane... He is indeed a top student.

"Zhang Yuan, long time no see." Liu Qianqian took small steps forward.

Xixi was wearing a white printed T-shirt and light blue jeans. She was holding a light-colored straw hat in her hand and looked full of youth.

"I haven't seen you for a few weeks. You seem to have grown taller."

After Zhang Yuan finished speaking, he looked at her chest.

Not all places are long...

Okay, the girl is still young and there is still a chance.

"Hehe, my mom said the same thing." Xixi compared with her palm and found that she was just at the position of Zhang Yuan's lips.

"Hello, Zhang Yuan." Liu Xiaoli also came forward and greeted him elegantly, and asked casually like an adult, "What are you busy with recently?"

"I moved to a new place and took on a new drama." Zhang Yuan openly described his current situation.

"Ah, you've only been away from the crew for a few days, and you've already got a new role!" Chen Kun widened his eyes, unable to believe it.

"Brother, give me some advice!" Qiao Zhenyu hugged his arm and refused to let go.

Liu Xiaoli didn't expect that she would get such unexpected news just by asking casually.

Although his private life is a bit messy, he is still very capable... Aunt Liu thought to herself.

"What crew?" Liu Qianqian looked at him like a curious baby, while Shu Chang beside her had starry eyes.

"Brother Yuan is really amazing..."

"I signed a confidentiality agreement. Sorry, I can't disclose it for now."

"Hmph, so stingy." Liu Qianqian pouted and turned her head away.

"Is the crew big?" Chen Kun also felt envious. Even for him, it was difficult to schedule such a full schedule.

“It should be bigger than The Golden Age.”

"Wow, that's a big movie!" Qiao Zhenyu held his hands even tighter.

"You'll know once the filming starts." Zhang Yuan responded with a smile without elaborating.

The few of them hadn't seen each other for a long time and had a pleasant chat with Zhang Yuan.

After talking so much, they couldn't help feeling thirsty. Shu Chang and Liu Qianqian had already bought some drinks and brought them directly into the airport.

Security checks were not very strict in those days and you could bring large amounts of liquids into the waiting area.

Zhang Yuan stood up and planned to find a vending machine to buy a bottle of Coke to cool off.

At that time, there were no vending machines like those in later generations that accepted card swiping, let alone those that accepted facial recognition. They were all old machines that accepted coin insertion.

The vending machine was not far away, right next to their rest area. Zhang Yuan took out a few coins from his pocket as he walked.

Ding dong!

Maybe because he wasn't used to coins after not using them for a long time, one of the coins rolled out.

He was lucky enough that the coin did not roll under the machine, but instead ran towards a seat nearby.

There happened to be a traveler sitting on a chair, and the coin hit the upper of his shoe, causing him to fall to the ground.

Zhang Yuan hurried forward and bent down.

"What are you doing!"

Unexpectedly, when the middle-aged traveler saw him approaching, he suddenly shouted, which scared Zhang Yuan.

"Sorry, it's my money." Zhang Yuan raised his head and pointed to the coins on the ground with a smile.

"Huh..." The male passenger's face turned pale and his forehead was covered with sweat. He moved away after understanding Zhang Yuan's intention.

"Thank you." As Zhang Yuan picked up the coin, his face glanced at a travel bag on the seat, which should belong to the man.

"Are you okay? It's your first time on a plane. Are you nervous?"

Seeing that the other party was in a very bad state and his eyes were flickering, Zhang Yuan spoke with good intentions.

"It's none of your business, get out of here!" With this attitude... Zhang Yuan just left obediently, thinking that he was meddling in other people's business.

Returning to her seat, Liu Qianqian looked at the Coke in his hand with envy.

"Flight XXX, from Beijing to Qingdao, is about to take off. Passengers, please prepare to board the plane."

"It's our turn." Several people stood up. Liu Qianqian had already pulled Shu Chang and started planning how many shrimps and fish to have for dinner.

But at this moment, Zhang Yuan just stood there in a daze.

"What's wrong, Brother Yuan?" Shu Chang turned around when he saw that he didn't catch up.

At this time, Shu Chang saw that Zhang Yuan's face was quickly losing color and becoming extremely pale.

The air conditioning in the terminal was clearly sufficient, but a circle of cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

Two major events occurred in China's aviation industry this year.

First, the aviation industry was restructured, and three major companies, Air China, China Eastern Airlines and China Southern Airlines, were established, laying the basic structure for China United Airlines.

The second is a notorious case.

When Zhang Yuan was picking up the coin just now, his face passed over the travel bag on the seat and he smelled a strange odor.

Only now did he remember what that smell was.

That's the smell of gasoline!
He glanced at the date on his phone and understood what was about to happen.

His hands were shaking and he managed to stay standing by gritting his teeth. He was almost exhausted.

He instinctively wanted to turn around and run, but he saw that the man who had carried the bag had already entered the boarding gate, and his friends had already started checking their tickets. Zhang Yuan exerted force with his upper and lower front teeth and bit the tip of his tongue, using the pain to sober himself up and regain his rationality.

"Changchang, go tell Brother Kun and Xixi and the others not to board the plane yet."

Shu Chang didn't understand what Zhang Yuan intended to do, but he instinctively trusted him and nodded seriously.

Zhang Yuan found a nearby counter that had not yet started boarding, pulled over a staff member, and told him about his discovery.

Why didn't he look for the flight attendant who was checking tickets in front of him?

Because there are so many people and they all talk a lot, if panic is caused, the consequences will be disastrous.

After hearing what Zhang Yuan said, the staff member's eyes grew as big as light bulbs, and his hands and feet trembled like him. He was stunned for several seconds before getting up and looking for airport security.

Within five minutes, two teams of strong men in police uniforms came running over, holding professional equipment such as explosion-proof forks, batons, blankets, buckets, and fire extinguishers.

At the same time, two police officers came to Zhang Yuan's side, one on the left and one on the right, obviously afraid that he would escape.

Many people report false alarms at airports every year.

In less than ten minutes, surrounded by more than a dozen police officers, the middle-aged man was grabbed by the hands and feet by four policemen and carried out of the boarding gate like a pig.

Behind him, two police officers were carefully holding a large barrel covered with black cloth and moving it cautiously to a deserted place.

In 2002, a man named Zhang Xlin boarded a China Airlines plane carrying seven large Coke bottles filled with gasoline.

After the plane finished climbing and entered level flight, he took out a lighter from his trouser pocket and ignited the gasoline he was carrying.

At this time, the passenger plane, which was traveling at a speed of over 700 kilometers per hour, was instantly ignited and became a firebird falling from an altitude of 8000 meters.

Zhang Yuan heaved a sigh of relief after seeing the police complete their mission. He covered his pounding heart in his chest and collapsed on a chair in the rest area.

Chen Kun and others were called back by Shu Chang. They had just witnessed the police's "big move" and were wondering.

"What happened?"

Zhang Yuan, who had just regained some color, waved to them to gather around him and told them how he discovered the incident and how he reported it.

Gudong!

Liu Xiaoli, who had the most experience and the quickest reaction, felt her legs go weak after hearing this and she almost fell to the ground. Even though her lipstick was extremely bright, it could not hide the paleness of her lips at this moment.

Liu Qianqian hurriedly helped her mother sit on the chair.

Chen Kun and his companions sat down slowly while trembling like the elderly people with Parkinson's disease.

No one made a big noise, there was only endless silence.

Two lines of hot tears flowed down Shu Chang's cheeks, and his face was expressionless.

Chen Kun's eyes were blank and lifeless.

Dong Jie hugged his body tightly with both hands and trembled as if he had been stripped naked and thrown into the snow in the middle of winter.

Zhang Yuan looked around at this time.

Well, they should now understand how I felt in the past few months.

What does it mean to live a new life!
Note: Because this is a real event, the location and time have been modified.
