Chapter 522: Exposed
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Seeing the guard’s firm attitude, the suspect knew that he could not escape. He deliberately put on a helpless expression and turned his head slightly. From the corner of his eye, he saw that his companion was experiencing the same thing as him.
At this moment, he instantly understood. Whatever the reason, their intentions had already been discovered by the airport’s security personnel. Otherwise, it would be impossible for them to be investigated at the same time.
Gradually, panic began to well up in his heart. For a moment, the suspect’s brain seemed to be in a daze, not knowing what to do next.
If he cooperated with the guards’ investigation, as long as the bag beside him was opened, the entire matter would be exposed. At that time, not to mention him, even his accomplices would not be able to escape.
However, if he refused to cooperate with the investigation, he would definitely be treated as guilty. Perhaps he would be arrested on the spot without even needing to investigate.
No matter what choice he made now, the outcome would not be good. If he wanted to live, there was only one way. That was to show the bomb and make everyone not dare to approach rashly so that he could fight for the opportunity and conditions to escape.
“Are you listening, sir?” The guard waved a hand in front of the suspect’s eyes.
A shout interrupted the suspect’s train of thought. At this point, he couldn’t think of anything better to do in the short span of seconds. Helpless, he could only make one last struggle. If he still failed, he could only make a Hail Mary effort and take it one step at a time. If he still failed, he could only accept his fate.
“Officer, I’m listening to you. But no matter how big the rules of your airline are, they can’t be greater than the national laws. As a guard, you should know more about these laws than I do.”
The suspect pretended to be calm and tried not to show too much panic. “If you insist on checking my things, then you’re breaking the law. Moreover, you’re knowingly breaking the law. You’ll only be guilty.”
Although what the suspect said was nonsense, it hit the nail on the head. People who knew the law and broke it would indeed be more guilty. It was this sentence that scared the guard who was originally firm in his belief.
At this moment, he thought about his future. His life. He still needed to support his family. The thought of retreating gradually began to sprout. The guard could not lose everything he had for this uncertain risk factor.
The suspect who was facing the guard quickly caught the hesitation on the other party’s face. He understood that his words had worked. As long as he spoke in this direction, the guard would definitely not act rashly.
Shan Yue, who was at the side, could clearly see the change in his mentality, but she could not say anything now. As long as she spoke, the suspect would immediately understand that an ambush had been set up.
A dog would jump over a wall when it was desperate, let alone a living person.
If she really forced the suspect into a corner, he might do something unexpected. Now, she could only pray silently that the guard could firmly hold onto the belief in his heart. The success or failure of the entire matter depended on this final step.
Even if he did well in the beginning and failed at the last step, it was no different from not doing it.
Just as the atmosphere at the event location fell into a short silence, the airport announcement traveled into everyone’s ears again.
“Attention, passengers heading to Country H. The ticket inspection has already begun. Please queue up and enter the passageway in an orderly manner. Take good care of your personal belongings. Be careful. United Airlines wishes you a pleasant trip here.”
It was this timely announcement that allowed the suspect to seize the opportunity to escape for a short period of time. “I’m sorry, you heard the announcement. 1 don’t have time to waste with you here. I’m boarding.”
Just as Shan Yue thought that the guard was about to collapse, she was about to step forward to help him out and find an opportunity later. Unexpectedly, before she could move, he smiled again.
“Do you mean that you’re taking this flight to Country H?”
“What else? Haven’t I made myself clear enough? I’m going to get on the plane. If I can’t leave because of your current actions, can you bear the responsibility?” the person asked..
