Meng Hongyao, upon hearing this, passed the used warning talisman to Xun Tianhai, "It wasn’t a hijacking; they wanted to take everyone on the plane with them to the grave, all for insurance fraud."
Xun Tianhai took it and, seeing the current state of the warning talisman, he understood everything, "Did the warning talisman issue a premature alert?"
Meng Hongyao nodded and recounted the events that happened on the plane to Xun Tianhai.
Xun Tianhai broke out in a cold sweat and still felt some lingering fear, "How can there be such perverted people?"
Meng Hongyao laughed, "Has the director not seen enough perverted people?"
Xun Tianhai inexplicably thought of Fu Yuxing...
There really were a lot of perverts these days.
Xun Tianhai said, "Never mind, as long as you’re safe, that’s good. You shouldn’t take on any missions for a short while."
"Don’t worry." Meng Hongyao wasn’t worried at all, "The issue has been resolved, and our fate must have changed. I’ve already booked tonight’s flight to continue with the mission, so the director doesn’t need to worry."
Xun Tianhai anxiously said, "Why don’t you discuss it with me first?"
Meng Hongyao puzzled, "It’s my mission, why should I discuss it with you?"
Xun Tianhai was choked up and almost blurted out that he was concerned.
But as the words reached his lips, he swallowed them back down.
He knew Meng Hongyao’s personality; she had always been fearless, and now that the situation was resolved in advance, she would be even less afraid.
This was also an official assignment.
Xun Tianhai couldn’t stop her, so he looked at Meng Hongyao resentfully and said, "I’ll go and inform the Abbot."
Meng Hongyao shrugged, indifferent.
Xun Tianhai took out his phone and turned around to call Jiangli.
Jiangli had dallied in her room for a bit before sleeping for two hours, then was awakened by the ringing of her phone.
She picked it up with a strong sense of sleepiness and, seeing the caller ID, she understood.
"Director Xun, did something happen to Meng Hongyao?" Jiangli asked directly as soon as she answered the call.
Xun Tianhai was stunned for a moment but quickly composed himself, "Yes, I’m calling the Abbot to report this. Just now, Hongyao encountered some trouble on the plane."
He told Jiangli about Meng Hongyao’s experience and thanked her, "Fortunately, the Abbot’s warning talisman prevented any harm. The Abbot saved not only Hongyao but also many innocent people. Both our Unusual Affairs Management Office and the Xuanmen Association owe the Abbot a favor. If the Abbot needs anything, feel free to let us know, and we’ll do our best to fulfill it."
Upon hearing this, Jiangli instantly woke up, "Then that’s perfect! One talisman costs ten thousand, and saving so many people is a great merit. Consider it like I went on a business trip. Just waive the fee for the two talismans, and Director Xun can just give me eight hundred thousand more."
He suddenly knew how to write the word ’regret’.
He shouldn’t have been so talkative.
He never imagined Jiangli would be such a little money-grubber.
Always talking about eight hundred thousand...
Just yesterday, Xun Tianhai had given away eight hundred thousand on Yan Mountain, and he hadn’t yet gotten over the pain.
And now he had to give another eight hundred thousand...
Xun Tianhai felt like he was even going to lose his kidneys, but he had put himself in this position.
Grinding his teeth, he played the part of the willing, "...Okay, then shall I send it to Xia Xin later on?"
Jiangli’s voice contained a hint of amusement, "Then I’ll thank Director Xun in advance, much appreciated."
Xun Tianhai forced a laugh, which looked uglier than crying.
"What’s wrong?" Meng Hongyao saw his strange expression after he hung up the phone and asked curiously, "What did the Abbot say?"
The smile on Xun Tianhai’s face immediately collapsed, and he said with a pale countenance, "The Abbot said... to give her eight hundred thousand for the business trip fee..."
