Chapter 1476: Acquaintance
"Which window handles luggage check-in?"
Lu Mingfei dragged his suitcase, held a plane ticket in his mouth, held a Coke in his left hand, and a sausage in his right hand, and walked around O'Hare Airport. As usual, Lin Nian followed him with a backpack.
"Why don't you carry your bag? What are you carrying?" Lu Mingfei wanted to ask this question a long time ago, but he was forced to do so because of the awkward atmosphere before. Now that the conversation was finally over, he could say some random things. He felt relaxed for the first time in a long time. The person who designed this trip was really a genius. He really wanted to give him a gold medal peacemaker medal.
"It's uncomfortable to carry it. I don't like carrying things. It feels like being restrained." Lin Nian held the bag in his right hand and swiped his phone with his left hand. "Did you get off Air Travel?"
"What is that?" Lu Mingfei struggled to move the plane ticket to his other hand, freeing his mouth to start feasting on the real meat sausage bought on the streets of Chicago.
"The new APP released by CAAC allows you to check in in advance, see a lot of flight information, and see exactly where you are sitting on your phone." Lin Nian was swiping his phone, "I have some good news, would you like to hear it?"
"Let me tell you the bad news first." Lu Mingfei munched on the sausage.
"There is no bad news." Lin Nian raised his phone to Lu Mingfei, "The school has booked a first-class cabin for us, so you don't need to worry about the luggage check-in allowance."
"First-class cabin?" Lu Mingfei tilted his head to look at the information on Lin Nian's phone and couldn't help showing surprise.
To be honest, Lu Mingfei has never sat in first class since he was a child. The few times he took a plane with the mission of Kassel Academy, it was either a high-tech and hard-working Sleipnir, which was fast, but the riding experience was no different from that of a tractor, or a red-eye express, which was very anxious, and the riding experience was super economy class, which was terrible.
The only thing that might be good should be the red-eye flight I took to Beiyi last time, but it crashed halfway through the ride, let alone economy class and first class.
"First class on the three Middle Eastern airlines, isn't it cheap?"
"You shouldn't pay for it anyway."
"The school is really generous. The board of directors is really generous. I finally feel that my hard work has not been in vain."
Lu Mingfei dragged his things to the check-in window. The queue was almost full. When he was worried, Lin Nian grabbed his shoulder and pointed to the first-class check-in window not far away. There were only a man and a woman standing there checking in. He suddenly realized and pulled his luggage over.
"I'm going to the toilet." Lin Nian said to Lu Mingfei, and Lu Mingfei just turned around and responded briefly.
After leaving the queue window, Lin Nian walked to a row of automatic check-in machines not far away, took out a passport from his backpack, scanned it through the machine, chose to print out a United Airlines ticket, folded the ticket and passport and put them back in his backpack. After doing all this, he walked back to where Lu Mingfei checked his luggage.
Lu Mingfei was queuing not far away. After Lin Nian came back, he stood not far away with his backpack waiting. However, while waiting, he took a second look at the woman in front of Lu Mingfei. Her golden hair was wrapped in a black veiled headscarf, which looked a bit like a modern girl. From the side, you can see that she was wearing a pair of Dior square-framed sunglasses, and her whole body was wrapped tightly in a brown single-piece coat.
Lin Nian looked at her more not because she was beautiful or because she was blonde, but because he felt that this woman looked familiar, and was very similar to someone he had seen in his memory, but he didn't have any impression of the man standing behind her.
When Lu Mingfei finished checking in his luggage and walked over with his hands empty and relaxed, he saw Lin Nian's eyes following the backs of the man and woman who had checked in and left before him, and his eyes followed them, "Acquaintance?"
"Maybe." Lin Nian withdrew his gaze.
"Aren't you going to say hello?"
"No, we'll meet in a while anyway."
Lin Nian followed the two people with his bag. He wasn't following them, but the first-class lounge was on the same side before the flight. That's what he meant by meeting soon. Qatar Airways had only one flight this afternoon, and the fact that they could check in here naturally meant that they were on the same route, so they would bump into each other again no matter what.
"Will there be no trouble?" Lu Mingfei muttered.
Following Lin Nian, he passed the security check step by step, walked around the airport to find the VIP lounge near the boarding gate, and after finding it, the ground staff at the door opened the door and led him in. In the private space decorated in a modern style illuminated by warm yellow light, several cubicle-like sofas were scattered here and there. There was a buffet on the table running through the lounge, and you could enjoy it at will while waiting for the flight.
"It's really her." As soon as Lin Nian entered the VIP lounge, his eyes locked on the modern girl with a headscarf who was sitting on the sofa in the corner drinking water and resting. Now she had taken off her headscarf after entering the lounge, and Lin Nian recognized who she was at a glance.
"Why does she look a bit like that guy? That movie star." Lu Mingfei squinted and looked at her.
"Carlyle Capet, the heroine of "The Hunt", but she seems to have made a more popular movie recently, and her masterpiece has become the recently released "48 Hours at Sea." Lin Nian said her name, put his backpack in a compartment of a VIP sofa, and walked to the buffet table, "I have seen her several times when I was on a mission before."
"How many times have you seen her? Is she so unlucky?" Lu Mingfei followed Lin Nian to get the plate to pick up something.
If you can see Lin Nian on a mission, whether it is a target mission or just passing by to do odd jobs, you are extremely unlucky, because when Lin Nian is on duty, there are no small incidents, only troubles.
"I saw her on my first mission. At that time, she was almost killed by the dangerous hybrid targeted by the execution department. Fortunately, I used "Moment" for the first time to rush to the door." Lin Nian looked at the face of the female star wearing sunglasses and spoke with a little reminiscence.
"Well, does she still remember you?"
"Probably not. Afterwards, the Psychology Department hypnotized the people involved in the case, and she was the focus of attention. After all, she is a public figure. If she lets something slip, it will be very troublesome to deal with it later."
"It means she was brainwashed."
"Well, and then the second time we ran into each other, the time in Chicago Port, the luxury cruise ship, do you remember?"
"Oh, oh, I remember it." Lu Mingfei slapped his head, "She was on the same boat with Shao Nanyin at the time, and I almost forgot it. I said I had some impression of it." Then he looked at Carlisle Cape with sympathy, "Oh my god, she is so unlucky."
But from another perspective, until now, she has not lost any parts and can still pursue her acting career. In a sense, she is lucky.
"Have you seen her new movie?"
"No, what's it about?"
"It's about a shipwreck at sea, a group of international robbers hijacked a gambling ship, she fought wits and courage with the robbers, and finally escaped."
"Uh, why is it a bit..."
"The director, film critics and audiences all think that she has portrayed the fear and helplessness of being in distress vividly, and she should be nominated for an Oscar this year."
"What's this, a blessing in disguise?" Lu Mingfei grinned, how could it not be vividly portrayed? He remembered that the female star was on the yacht on Lake Michigan at the time, which was considered to be immersive. With a little acting talent, it was easy to reproduce the emotions at that time in the script.
"What about the other times?"
"This time counts as one."
".Do you think something will happen again on this trip?"
Lin Nian shook his head, "No, I just think it's too coincidental. I've met her twice, and both times something went wrong. Now it's the third time, I can't say."
"Don't say the word 'coincidence', I'm really scared, brother." Lu Mingfei also smiled bitterly. He has been tossed so hard that he doesn't believe in the word coincidence at all. In his dictionary, coincidence is basically equal to conspiracy.
Lin Nian couldn't deny it. Seeing that he didn't say anything, Lu Mingfei touched his forehead, but immediately gave up worrying. Instead of worrying about this, it's better to worry about whether the flight will be delayed.
This time, he and Lin Nian came out alone, without any relatives. Are they afraid that someone will cheat them? He even dug up his ancestral graves!
Lu Mingfei and Lin Nian sat in a sofa compartment next to each other with their plates. The food on their plates was piled up like a mountain. The ground staff lady standing in the corner not far away was hesitating whether to come over and persuade them to take a moderate amount of buffet food at one time.
No longer talking about the female star, Lin Nian and Lu Mingfei sat in the sofa compartment and chatted while eating. They talked about the review of Beiyi Nibelungen, finding problems and faults with each other, highlighting the spirit of self-examination three times a day, and correcting all the mistakes.
"Speaking of which, why did you come to Nibelungen late at that time? At that time, you, Li Huoyue, and the three of us were in the apple orchard. Your man hung me up like a pig and bled me to open the door of Nibelungen. If you went in with me directly at that time, I think many things should be caught up. If we were not separated, nothing could stop us." Lu Mingfei asked puzzledly.
"Don't you know about Li Huoyue?"
"I know that she seems to have a grudge against the five clan leaders, but why would you help her get revenge? This is what I don't understand." Lu Mingfei asked while eating, with a puzzled expression, "This is an internal affair of the orthodox, how can you interfere?"
"She proposed a deal and gave me an offer that I couldn't refuse."
"What deal? Can you tell me?" Lu Mingfei buried his head in eating.
"She gave me a file report that may be related to my life experience, and only she has the power to retrieve that report."
"Your life experience? Didn't you grow up in an orphanage?"
"I grew up in an orphanage, but I wasn't born in an orphanage." Lin Nian glanced at him, "I care about that report, so I agreed to the deal with her. Do you remember that after we landed in Zhengtong, we went to the courtyard to have dinner, and she and I stayed there? It was at that time that she talked to me about this deal. When she thought it was appropriate, I needed to take the initiative to cooperate with her actions."
"Help her kill the five clan leaders? Are you serious?" Lu Mingfei tried hard to swallow the food in his throat, and looked up at Lin Nian, "Is that document so important that it can make you do this."
