"The plane is ready for takeoff, ma’am. Please fasten your seatbelt," the chief flight attendant came over to remind at this moment.
Meng Hongyao grabbed her hand with a beautiful but chilling face, "What’s the name of your co-pilot?"
"Are you referring to Captain Xiao? Did he do something unsatisfactory?" Upon hearing Meng Hongyao’s question, the chief flight attendant thought she was upset with Captain Xiao and wanted to file a complaint, so she intended to mediate.
Meng Hongyao replied coldly, "Has he encountered something recently? Any significant changes in his personality?"
The chief flight attendant was startled, "Do you know Captain Xiao?"
Meng Hongyao replied with a frosty voice, "Is it true?"
"This..." The chief flight attendant couldn’t grasp their relationship and was hesitant to discuss someone else’s private matters, trying to deflect the situation.
Meng Hongyao stood up and gave a signal to the two people accompanying her.
The other two immediately stood up as well.
Before the chief flight attendant could comprehend what was happening, she saw Meng Hongyao and her three companions heading towards the cockpit.
"Wait, ma’am, that is the cockpit, and unauthorized personnel are not allowed inside—"
The chief flight attendant quickly chased after them, trying to stop them.
Meng Hongyao frowned impatiently, took out a credential, and showed it to the chief flight attendant, "Police investigation. I now suspect there’s a danger on your plane that needs to be checked. You need to cooperate with me for a discreet inspection."
The chief flight attendant looked at Meng Hongyao’s police badge, taken aback.
The Unusual Affairs Management Office, being part of the police force, had special work IDs to facilitate investigations.
Seeing the police badge, the chief flight attendant said anxiously, "What’s happened? We have not received any notification..."
"This is an emergency situation, I don’t have time to explain to you. We need to act quickly; any carelessness could put the lives of everyone on this plane at risk. Do you understand?"
Meng Hongyao interrupted her, her voice icy, "What you need to do now is to pretend as if nothing has happened and tell your captain that we are going inside for an inspection." Meng Hongyao put away her police badge with a chilly demeanor.
The chief flight attendant was in a tough spot, "The plane is about to taxi..."
Meng Hongyao cut her off sternly, "Do you think I am asking for your opinion?"
The chief flight attendant: "..."
Seeing Meng Hongyao’s fierce expression, the chief flight attendant could only nod, "I’ll, I’ll try..."
"Just ask the captain to open the door," Meng Hongyao said without the patience for any delays.
Without any option, the chief flight attendant walked over anxiously and used the internal communication system to call the captain.
The captain quickly responded.
The chief flight attendant glanced at Meng Hongyao’s cold expression and couldn’t bring herself to say that the passengers wanted to enter the cockpit, so she said reluctantly, "Captain, there’s a situation outside. I’ve forgotten something inside, could you please open the door..."
The chief flight attendant’s words lacked coherence.
Yet the captain didn’t give it much thought and quickly opened the door.
Upon seeing this, Meng Hongyao gave the chief flight attendant a look.
The chief flight attendant had no choice but to lead them inside.
The captain and the co-pilot turned their heads as they heard noises.
The captain was surprised to see the chief flight attendant bringing several people over and was just about to reprimand them.
Meng Hongyao and her two colleagues suddenly took action, directly moving towards the co-pilot and holding him down.
All the people in the cockpit were in a state of shock at the moment.
"What are you doing?" the captain returned to his senses with shock, pressing the emergency call button while trying to intervene.
The co-pilot seemed to realize something and began to struggle fiercely with a ferocious expression.
