Chapter 238 Intricate Web Spread, Ninth Master Gives Into Her

Another fifteen minutes passed, and she scanned every corner of the arrival hall, but still couldn’t find him.
Jiang Fuyue walked up to the counter. “Can you please check for a passenger named Jiang Chenxing on flight AG856?”
“May I ask who you are?”
“I’m his sister, and he’s not of legal age.”
“Okay, please wait a moment.”
The ticket was booked by Jiang Fuyue, and last night, they even talked on the phone.
Little Brother Jiang was so excited on the other end, “I’ll see you tomorrow, sis, that’s great!”
“Sis, I bought you a gift. You must like it!”
“It’s okay if you don’t like it. I have pocket money, I can buy you something you like again, okay?”
“Mom and Dad miss you. They sent me as their representative. So, when we’re in the capital, I’ll make sure to look at you a lot more! I’ll have to see you enough for Mom and Dad’s portion.”
“Sis, aren’t you going to sleep? Don’t you have classes tomorrow? If you’re busy, you don’t have to pick me up! I checked the guide online on how to take the subway from the airport to Q University, so it should be fine.”
“Sis, I miss you so much these past two weeks… Who’s crying? I’m not crying, my nose is just a little stuffy…”
“Goodnight, sis, see you tomorrow.”
Little Brother Jiang’s soft voice still echoed in her ears, but now he was nowhere to be found.
When the mechanical voice on the phone said, “The number you dialed cannot be reached at the moment,” for the third time, the staff finally pulled up the flight information—
“Flight AG856 departed from Linhuai at 8:20 in the morning. There is indeed a passenger named Jiang Chenxing in seat 31A in the economy class, but the query results show that he did not board.”
Jiang Fuyue’s eyes widened in astonishment. “Didn’t board?! Are you sure?!”
“Yes.”
She left the counter and dialed Little Brother Jiang’s number for the fourth time, but still couldn’t get through.
Jiang Fuyue’s expression turned completely cold, and she immediately called Jiang Da.
After a long beep, there was a cold prompt of “no one answered.”
She called Han Yunru next, getting the same result.
Her heart sank to the bottom of the valley.
Countless speculations flashed through Jiang Fuyue’s mind, both good and bad, but ten seconds later, she forced herself to calm down.
She picked up her phone and dialed Niu Rui’s number.
“It’s me. Now set up surveillance in Linhuai, sync it to my phone.”
“This operation requires permission…”
“Let Niu Chunhua open!”
Niu Rui was startled, and finally realized that the mood on the other end was not right. He did not dare to delay and immediately found Niu Chunhua to open the permission: “…Okay.”
“Focus on monitoring Linhuai’s Linnan district, especially the provincial highways, waterways, and the airport. See if you can find any trace of this boy. His personal information and photo have been sent to your phone, so check it.”
“Yes.” Niu Rui didn’t dare to ask anything, just followed the instructions.
The second after the call ended, Jiang Fuyue dialed Liu Jinzhong.
Same instructions, but with an addition: “Send someone out to search, especially focus on hospitals, clinics, and pharmacies.”
“Got it.”
Next call: “Hu Ben, it’s Jiang Fuyue…”
“Little Six, it’s me…”
After a few calls, like a big net spreading out from various directions and angles, Linnan district was tightly covered.
In the end…
“What’s the earliest flight to Linhuai now?”
“It’s at 3:40 in the afternoon.”
Jiang Fuyue glanced at her watch, her brows furrowing tightly, there were still four hours left.
“Is there any earlier one? It’s urgent. I’ll accept any class, any seat!”
“Sorry, the earliest flight is in one hour, but the tickets are sold out.”
Jiang Fuyue looked at her, enunciating each word, “I have something urgent. Can you help me?”
“I’m really sorry…”
“What if someone refunds their ticket?”
“What?”
“If someone on that flight right now refunds their ticket, can you guarantee that I can buy the ticket they refunded?”
“Well…”
“Yes, or no?!”
“I think it’s possible.”
“Good. Let me use your broadcast.” Jiang Fuyue walked up and turned on the microphone switch.
“Attention all passengers coming to and from the airport. If there are any passengers on flight PN454 from the capital to Linhuai who haven’t checked in yet, I’m willing to pay ten times the price for your ticket. If you’re willing, please come to the B2 front desk immediately! From the moment you hear this broadcast, you have fifteen minutes. After fifteen minutes, the broadcast will expire automatically.”
Twenty minutes later, the flight would stop checking in.
Even if someone refunded their ticket, Jiang Fuyue couldn’t buy it anymore.
That’s why she gave a fifteen-minute time limit.
Five minutes passed, and no one came.
Ten minutes passed, still no one.
Just in the last three minutes, when Jiang Fuyue had decided to give up on this flight and ask about the next one, a pair of long legs encased in a suit stopped in front of her.
“I’ll give it to you.”
A familiar voice echoed in her ears, and she instinctively looked up, seeing the cold and handsome face of Xie Dingyuan.
He glanced at the time. “You have two minutes to refund the ticket and buy the new one. Five minutes to check in.”
Jiang Fuyue suddenly realized. “I’ll do it now!”
