Chapter 192: Chapter 191 Elder Han’s Investigation

"Captain Liu, there’s no need to apologize. From your perspective, you weren’t wrong, after all, I didn’t have permission to enter the cockpit without consent. As long as you no longer think I’m a pervert, that’s enough." As a girl, she was broad-minded enough to admit her mistake, so Lin Tian wasn’t petty enough to dwell on the issue and said it nonchalantly.

After hearing Lin Tian’s words, she reverted to her usual demeanor, and Captain Liu still spoke somewhat aloofly, "Each matter should be treated on its own merit. Though I was at fault earlier, my impression of you still hasn’t changed."

I know you’re straightforward, but do you have to be so blunt? Did I really focus too much on some protruding parts when I looked at her? Lin Tian tried to recall, remembering that his gaze was appreciative, yet in her eyes, it turned into something creepy, which was simply outrageous.

"Lin Tian, we truly owe you big time for this." Mrs. Xiao came over and stood between them, saying, "Whether it was the explosion in the kitchen or this wiring fault, speaking of which, your nose is really sensitive, making you the perfect candidate for a perfumer. Would you be interested?"

Mrs. Xiao was probably worried that they might conflict again, and Lin Tian understood her intention, so he didn’t dwell on it with Captain Liu.

"Mrs. Xiao, if you ask me to become a perfumer, it’ll be a disaster for our vast male population," Lin Tian continued, though the underlying meaning of his words was somewhat puzzling.

"What do you mean? Isn’t creating better perfumes a good thing?" Miss was curious and wanted to know what messy thoughts he had in his mind.

Lin Tian chuckled and said, "Miss, let me give you an example. You’re already very beautiful. If you were to use a perfume I created, wouldn’t that knock thousands of men off their feet? The turn-back rate could be 200%, and the likelihood of men walking into poles might increase by 300%—isn’t that harming our male population?"

"You..." Miss had never heard someone praise beauty with such bold logic before, and her pretty face turned slightly red.

"Ahem, let’s head out. We shouldn’t disturb the captains any further." Mrs. Xiao quickly ushered everyone out of the cockpit. She started the conversation, and she truly feared that the reckless Lin Tian might use her as an example.

Mrs. Xiao had been a widow for many years and always referred to herself as Mrs. Xiao to prevent idle gossip for the sake of protecting the Xiao Family. If Lin Tian made an analogy with her, others might indeed think she was dressing up to attract men. Such rumors were not good, as over the years, there had been no shortage of men paying attention to her.

Everyone left the cockpit, and the beauties, after several ordeals, were tired and went to rest. Lin Tian lay on the sofa, closed his eyes to rest because though the plane was still flying on a single engine, at this point, worrying was useless. With Captain Liu’s experience, managing a plane with such a fault was still feasible.

As for the mess in the kitchen, it would naturally be cleaned by professionals after landing.

Forty minutes had passed fixing the faults, and not long after the people dispersed, the flight attendant announced the landing. The plane began taxiing, and no further mishaps occurred. Landing a plane with a malfunctioning engine on one side was a real test of the pilot’s skills, but under Captain Liu’s control, the plane landed smoothly on the runway.

When the plane stopped, fire trucks, ground support vehicles, and ambulances came rushing over surrounding the aircraft. Lin Tian was startled as he stepped out the cabin door; the scene was indeed a bit much.

"Don’t be surprised; our plane was an emergency landing, and it’s standard procedure for the airport to deploy fire, police, and medical services to react quickly to any larger incident that might occur during landing," Xiao Manxue stood next to Lin Tian, seemingly noticing his confusion, and explained softly.

"Oh, I see." Lin Tian nodded, suddenly enlightened.

Private plane management is rather strict, unlike private cars which when left in a parking lot and involved in an incident might not be dealt with, and ultimately the management tries to shirk responsibility.

The leadership of the airport coordination organization arranged for an evacuation first, but Miss still communicated that caution was needed when unloading the goods from the plane, as they contained valuable items.

There were professional maintenance personnel to check and repair the plane’s malfunctions, so Lin Tian did not need to worry and left the tarmac with everyone else.

"Young Madam, over here..."

Just as Lin Tian stepped off the tarmac, a familiar voice reached him; he followed the voice and saw an amiable elder standing not far away, gesturing.

Was it Elder Han? Lin Tian recognized the elder; it was he who had introduced him to the Xiao Family, allowing him to return to campus to continue his studies. Even without all that, on the day the robbery occurred at the Xinyi Mall, Elder Han had bravely stood up despite the risk to his life, which made Lin Tian feel that Elder Han was a respectable and dear person.

"Grandpa Han..." Xiao Manxuan was also very happy, running over and cooing, "Grandpa Han, where have you been recently? You haven’t come to see me."

"Haha, you little girl, coming to see you means you’ll probably ask me to go horse riding again, my old bones can’t handle that much exertion anymore," Elder Han said kindly, smiling and pointing out Xiao Manxuan’s subtle intentions.

"I’m not as naughty as you say..." the little girl glanced at Lin Tian secretly, only relaxing when she saw he wasn’t paying attention.

Elder Han, who missed none of her small actions, teased, "The Second Miss now has someone else to accompany her; she doesn’t need this old man anymore."

The little girl, ever so clever, caught on immediately that Elder Han was referring to Lin Tian. She stomped her tiny feet in embarrassment and annoyance, saying, "Grandpa Han, I did not, you can’t say that."

"Alright, alright, I won’t say it, haha, I’ll go talk to Xiao Tian." Elder Han laughed heartily and walked towards Lin Tian and the others, leaving Xiao Manxuan puffed up with anger, yet somewhat uneasy.

"Elder Han, long time no see, you still look so energetic," Lin Tian said cheerfully, greeting Elder Han with a big smile upon landing safely.

"Old now, what energy? I can’t compete with you young folks. This trip of yours to the Gambling Stone Festival in Zhonghai City, you’ve really made a name for yourself, the undisputed king without a crown!" Elder Han sincerely praised.

In front of Ou Qinglan, there’s no need for false modesty, but in front of Elder Han, Lin Tian felt embarrassed to be high-profile and modestly said, "Elder Han, it was just one or two lucky cuts, compared to the old masters in the circle, I am far behind."

"Old masters, heh... Old masters..." Elder Han’s smile gradually faded, replaced by a trace of sadness and anger in his eyes.

What was going on? Lin Tian didn’t understand why his good mood had suddenly turned somber. Neither Miss nor Xiao Manxuan seemed to understand, but Mrs. Xiao seemed to know something?

"This is...?" Lin Tian looked at Elder Han and Mrs. Xiao, voicing his confusion.

"Young Madam, let me explain," Elder Han seemed reluctant to talk about it, but still said in a low tone, "The reason you haven’t seen me recently is because Mrs. Xiao assigned me to investigate the matter of the mole within the Xiao Family, and the results are quite heartbreaking."
