Chapter 296

: Superhero

The screening for the crew was much more stringent, even without Shouta Takashimaya being a hijacker. Since the front freight area had disassembled weapons, the obvious question would be… Who would need to retrieve the weapons? Wouldn’t that be a crew member?

As for the charter flight for the passengers, it wouldn’t need the current crew. In fact, before the screening ended, the whole crew had to stay at the airport or another designated place.

The crew didn’t have as much rights as passengers; they had to obey all the rules.

Shino Shibuya, as Shouta Takashimaya’s fiancée, was a major focus of the investigation. Hideo Ohno, rumored to be having an affair with Shino Shibuya, was also thoroughly investigated.

“Minako.”

When Shino Shibuya finished her interview, she returned to the lounge for the crew. She sat next to Minako Sakurai and whispered, “Were you the whistleblower?”

Minako Sakurai’s face stiffened. Her report wasn’t anonymous; if it was, the investigation wouldn’t be so fast. But her report was confidential; only the airport and airline officials at the highest level knew who she was. The confidentiality helped protect Minako.

Her reward would also be subtle. In addition to a material award, her professional development would be very smooth from now on.

“It has to do with Meng Fan-kun, right?”

Everyone in the crew saw Meng Fan’s action at the airport.

Shino Shibuya wasn’t stupid; she made a guess easily. Seeing Minako Sakurai’s expression now, she was all but certain of her theory.

Shino Shibuya took a deep breath, “Relax, I won’t tell anyone.”

Minako Sakurai answered, “Shino, you know that if the hijacking worked, you and Hideo would both be… be killed. I heard it with my own ears!”

Minako Sakurai didn’t say if Meng Fan had anything to do with it. When the airport officials questioned her, she just said she overheard the plot.

“I know!”

Shino Shibuya lightly patted Minako Sakurai and leaned back into a tight ball. She said, “I don’t hate you. But Minako, do you believe me when I say I really do love Shouta?”

Minako Sakurai was stunned at the words.

To be honest, she didn’t think Shino Shibuya would say something like this. She would never guess what Shino Shibuya would do later after Shouta Takashimaya was sentenced to death.

— Attempted hijacking was a crime considered as hijacking in many countries, not to mention, this one occurred in Singapore, a place with very strict laws.

All of this would happen in the future. For the moment, Minako Sakurai wasn’t worried about any of this; her mind was full of Meng Fan.

Minako Sakurai saw everything Meng Fan did at the airport. The heroic scene was something she would never forget.

The spectacular moments also made Minako Sakurai realize something.

“Meng Fan-kun, actually, you got to know me because of this incident, right?”

“You approached me because you wanted to meet Shouta Takashimaya, right?”

“Actually, you knew Shouta Takashimaya was part of the hijacking from the start, right?”

Other than Meng Fan, Minako Sakurai knew the most about the attempted hijacking. Thinking back to what Meng Fan told her at the cafe, she noticed some holes in his story. Adding everything together, she had reached this conclusion.

“Meng Fan-kun, you’re a superhero, right?”

“Like in the movies, the secret agents from ‘S.H.I.E.L.D.,’ the superheroes from ‘Avengers,’ and Tom Cruise from ‘Mission Impossible,’ you’re always showing up at dangerous places to save the world, right?”

“Meng Fan-kun, my superhero!”

Minako Sakurai became really excited at the thought of being a partner to a world-saving superhero. If there weren’t other colleagues around, she’d have screamed.

A superhero and a beauty partnered together to save the world — or at least an attempted hijacking — is there anything more exciting?

Yes, if they became a couple!

Minako Sakurai thought to herself, if a romance really happened, even if she was in danger of dying like the female protagonists in those superhero movies, or even if she did die, she would do it!

“Minako Sakurai, come on out here.”

While Minako Sakurai daydreamed, an airport employee asked her to leave the lounge. She thought it was for an interview, but Meng Fan appeared in front of her.

“Meng Fan-kun!”

Minako Sakurai ran toward Meng Fan and hugged him tightly.

The nearby police officer watched the scene benovently. Meng Fan was getting a heroic welcome. He didn’t know Minako Sakurai was the whistleblower. The police officer left the lounge to give them privacy.

“Meng Fan-kun, are you okay?”

“I’m fine.”

Meng Fan patted Minako Sakurai’s back gently, retrieving the black technology microphone attached to her pendant. It cost 1,000 points, ok?

As for the black technology microphone on Shouta Takashimaya’s watch: first, Meng Fan had no reason to visit him, who was under close guard; and second, even if he saw the hijacker, his watch was already removed and locked away. Meng Fan wouldn’t have a way to learn other information via eavesdropping, so he started the device’s self-destruct process, losing 1,000 points in the process.

After Minako Sakurai let go of Meng Fan, she noticed Meng Fan winking at her. She knew what could be said and what she couldn’t. She grew excited and got into the fantasy of being the beautiful partner to a superhero again. This was the movie’s sequel!

“Meng Fan-kun, are you still going to Japan? How long will you stay there?”

“I need to stay here for the investigation for a while. Not sure when I can go to Japan yet. If I do go and you’re there, can I look you up?”

Minako Sakurai looked sad at the news that he couldn’t leave with her. She was hoping for more development with him when they toured Japan together. Now, she couldn’t do anything.

“I might stay for three days in Japan. If you can go there soon, it’d be great, if not…” Meng Fan was touched by Minako Sakurai’s forlorn expression. He softened and said, “I will probably go to Japan in the future. It doesn’t mean we won’t ever see each other again.”

“Really?”

Minako Sakurai was so happy she stood up and kissed Meng Fan’s face. She blushed. “I will always remember that morning when I first saw you. Your smile was so warm, it woke up my whole world. Even if I forget my name one day, I will always remember your name, Meng Fan-kun. You’re my superhero!”
