Chapter 589 Taking the Initiative
Kelly stared at Wang Chao, scrutinizing him up and down with a puzzled and wary look. She felt extremely concerned.
How was this possible?
She had maintained a highly alert state while playing with her phone just now. How could Wang Chao approach her from behind without her noticing?
"This is Miss Kelly, I'm Wang Chao, a customer from the first-class business cabin. I came to have a chat with you. Is that convenient?" Wang Chao smiled at Kelly.
Though he had been resting with his eyes closed, he felt that waiting for the criminals to act in secret was too passive. Therefore, he took the initiative to approach Kelly, hoping to gather some information from her and preemptively prevent any potential disasters, ensuring the safety of Liu Yifei and Shen Bing.
After all, they were thousands of meters up in the sky. If criminals suddenly went berserk and damaged the plane, they would have no way out!
"Sir, this is where the flight attendants work, a private area. Please return to your seat immediately and do not disturb our work," another blonde flight attendant said assertively while walking up to Wang Chao.
At the same time, Macmillan also raised his head and glared coldly at Wang Chao.
This was the place where the flight attendants communicated with the captain. His mission during the flight was to protect the captain's safety. As long as the captain wasn't in mortal danger, he could ensure everyone else's safe return to their home country.
Therefore, he remained cold and vigilant toward anyone who intruded.
Ignoring the other flight attendant's obstruction and Macmillan's cold stare, Wang Chao continued to smile at Kelly. "Miss Kelly, I saw it, can we talk somewhere private?"
Kelly's heart skipped a beat.
Could it be that Wang Chao had seen the message she sent on her phone?
If that were the case, their entire plan might be foiled by him.
However, she wasn't sure if Wang Chao had really seen it or not.
She feigned composure and replied, "What did you see?"
"Of course, I saw the message you were exchanging with your boyfriend on your phone!" Wang Chao continued to smile, saying, "Miss Kelly, would you like to talk in private, or should I read the message out loud for everyone?"
The other flight attendant turned her gaze to Kelly, her eyes unkind. "What message? Kelly, you were using your phone during work hours?"
Macmillan's face also darkened.
As everyone knew, during a flight, passengers were not allowed to use their phones to access the internet, as phone signals could potentially interfere with the aircraft's performance and lead to accidents.
Kelly, being a flight attendant, must have been aware of this rule, but she still broke the law blatantly. She clearly didn't care about the lives of all the passengers and crew on board!
This was a serious offense!
Facing everyone's gaze, Kelly's heart raced with the desire to kill Wang Chao.
She forced herself to remain composed and explained, "I was just reading messages from my boyfriend; I didn't turn on the signal."
Then, she turned the tables, saying, "Everyone, don't listen to this person's nonsense. He intruded here without permission; he must have malicious intentions toward me."
Wang Chao chuckled at her response.
This female thief indeed remained calm, pretending nothing was amiss despite knowing that the situation might be exposed. Her mental fortitude was quite impressive.
Thus, he smiled even more brightly and said, "Miss Kelly, your phone's signal is still on. Just now, you were messaging your accomplice, stating that the target had drunk the water and that you were planning to kill Macmillan and hijack the plane, right?"
He hadn't really seen Kelly's phone. He only deduced from her offering coffee to Macmillan while playing with her phone that she might be relaying information to her accomplice.
As soon as he said this, all the flight attendants' expressions changed dramatically. They turned to stare at Kelly, while Macmillan's gaze turned extremely cold, akin to a sharp sword, fixed on Kelly.
Kelly was frightened by Wang Chao's words and the strange looks from everyone. Cold sweat broke out all over her body, and her heart felt like it was stuck in her throat.
Wang Chao was completely right!
She felt extremely anxious, but maintained a calm demeanor, saying, "Heh, Mr. Wang, you must be joking. Do you really believe what you just said?"
"Believe it or not, take out your phone and check it," Wang Chao replied.
"You have no right to check my phone," Kelly said coldly.
"He might not have the right, but I surely do, right?"
Macmillan's gaze grew colder as he stood up and extended his hand towards Kelly, saying coldly, "Give me your phone, let me see it!"
As the security officer responsible for this flight, Macmillan took Wang Chao's words very seriously and chose to believe there might be something to them rather than dismissing them.
If Kelly really intended to hijack the plane, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"Mr. Macmillan, I..." Kelly looked hesitant.
"Give me the phone!" Macmillan's voice turned extremely chilly, and his eyes stared at Kelly like daggers.
The other flight attendants also focused their attention on Kelly with hostile expressions.
Hijacking a plane was a serious matter!
If Kelly was indeed colluding with others, it would be hard to guard against such an inside job.
Under everyone's scrutinizing gaze, Kelly's expression was as ugly as if she had swallowed a few live flies.
She glared fiercely at Wang Chao and reluctantly took out her phone, handing it to Macmillan.
Macmillan took the phone, opened it, and carefully checked it. His face grew increasingly gloomy.
"How about it? Did she communicate with her accomplice?" Wang Chao asked.
Macmillan looked up, his gaze icy as he said to Wang Chao, "This gentleman, please return to your seat immediately and stop disturbing our cabin crew's work. Otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite to you!"
With that, he tossed the phone back to Kelly and said coldly, "There's nothing on this phone!"
He had already checked it; there was no internet connection or messages exchanged with anyone.
In his eyes, Wang Chao was clearly causing trouble for no reason!
"Nothing? That shouldn't be right!" Wang Chao was taken aback.
He had clearly seen Kelly using her phone and sending messages earlier. Why was there nothing now?
To prove her innocence, Kelly took out her phone, opened the messaging app, and placed it in front of Wang Chao. She said in a cold voice, "Mr. Wang, open your eyes wide and see for yourself whether I sent any messages!"
Wang Chao took a closer look.
Indeed, everything on Kelly's phone seemed normal, with no signs of interaction with anyone about a hijacking plot. He furrowed his brows.
To vindicate herself, Kelly showed her phone to the other flight attendants as well.
No matter if it was messaging apps or text messages, there was nothing indicating any kind of plot.
After seeing Kelly's phone, all the flight attendants' expressions changed, and they glared at Wang Chao.
At this moment, they all believed that Wang Chao was causing trouble for no reason and falsely accusing Kelly.
Especially a beautiful senior flight attendant, her eyes cold as she said with an air of arrogance and disdain, "Sir, please leave immediately. If you continue to make trouble, we'll notify the authorities to apprehend you when we land!"
Her voice was melodious, but her tone was icy and threatening.
Wang Chao noticed Macmillan and the other flight attendants' attitudes and realized that it wasn't the right time to take action now.
If he acted, he would become the enemy of all these people.
He glanced at Kelly and smiled, saying, "Actually, I just saw how pretty Miss Kelly is and wanted to pursue her, so I was looking for an excuse to be alone with her. I didn't expect to cause trouble for everyone. I apologize."
"If there's no problem, I'll leave now."
"Miss Kelly, I genuinely like you, so I hope you can give me a chance in the future."
After saying that, Wang Chao winked at Kelly before turning to leave.
Kelly stared at Wang Chao's back, her eyes flickering. She gritted her teeth and uttered coldly, "You desire to pursue me, huh?"
"Fine, I'll give you a chance to be alone. Explain to me properly why you did this!"
"If you can not give me a reasonable explanation, do not blame me for being impolite to you."
Wang Chao stopped in his tracks and turned back with a smile, saying, "Sure, let's have a private chat then."
Kelly turned to Macmillan and said, "Mr. Macmillan, I'll handle a personal matter with him first. Is that okay?"
Macmillan's face remained cold as he simply waved his hand, indicating his agreement.
With that assurance, Kelly's mood brightened. She immediately led Wang Chao to a private room.
After they entered, she locked the door behind them and stared coldly at Wang Chao with a murderous glint in her eyes. "Did you really see it just now?"
