#217 - Chapter 217 Lin Chen’s suspicion!
Hanging up the phone, the smile on Lin Chen's face disappeared.
“Encountering two aircraft malfunctions in just a few months, the probability is not quite normal.”
Lin Chen thought to himself.
The probability of aircraft accidents is very, very low.
The probability of malfunctions is different from the probability of accidents; it is much higher, but for his family to encounter it twice in a few months, the probability is still much higher than normal.
“Beep beep!”
Lin Chen dialed Tian Lang's number.
“Mr. Lin, what's the matter?”
Tian Lang quickly answered the phone and asked.
Lin Chen said: “Tian Lang, do you know about the aircraft malfunction that my parents-in-law were on? I suspect this accident is not that simple.”
Tian Lang's expression on the other end of the phone was grave.
“Mr. Lin, I know.”
“Do you think this matter might be man-made?”
Lin Chen: “We bought foreign planes, which almost all have backdoors. Some people can tamper with them through the backdoors. Can I inspect this plane?”
Tian Lang said: “If you apply to the higher-ups, Mr. Lin, you should be able to inspect it, but Mouyin Company probably won't let you inspect it alone, and you will definitely be exposed.”
“Now your chances of being exposed are not low, but it's better than you standing up to inspect it and being 100% exposed.”
“If it's man-made, this accident might be aimed at you… someone within us might have a problem.”
Lin Chen thought for a while and said: “The outsiders who know I understand airplanes are either those professors and academicians, or the two people who came here to deliver books to me.”
“The professors and academicians know my strength, but they don't know my identity; the two people who delivered the books know me, but they don't know how strong I am.”
Tian Lang said seriously: “Mr. Lin, we will investigate immediately, and if there is a problem, we will find it.”
“Mr. Lin, don't investigate yourself for now.”
“We will give you an explanation for this matter.”
Lin Chen said: “Okay.”
Hanging up the phone, Tian Lang quickly contacted the higher-ups. If it was man-made, this matter would definitely have to be dealt with seriously.
Over in the capital, the plane quickly landed.
The passengers had no idea they had just walked through the gates of hell.
“What happened? Police cars, fire trucks, and ambulances are all here.”
“It's estimated that there's an aircraft emergency.”
“It's a good thing it wasn't our plane.”
Through the windows, the passengers saw many vehicles parked in the distance, and they discussed among themselves, unaware that those vehicles were there because of their plane.
During the flight, they heard a strange noise, but later they didn't find any problems.
After the passengers left, the plane slowly taxied into the hangar.
Some experts were preparing to enter the plane.
Several of these experts were foreign experts.
“Please wait a moment.”
Several people from State Security rushed over.
“Experts, don't rush to enter the plane. Our security department needs to rule out the possibility of a terrorist attack first. This is also for the safety of you experts.”
A foreign expert complained: “It's just an ordinary accident, how is it related to a terrorist attack?”
“Exactly.”
“You're making a mountain out of a molehill.”
The other experts also spoke up one after another.
A middle-aged man leading the State Security team said: “Experts, I understand that you want to know the cause quickly, but we also have our work to do.”
“Please understand.”
The people from State Security entered the plane first, and they thoroughly inspected and recorded everything.
At the same time, others were investigating elsewhere.
They were mainly looking for spies.
Lin Chen is Lin Yu, which is definitely not a secret to top foreign intelligence agencies. It's normal for intelligence agencies to pay attention to him.
Knowing that he reads a lot of books about airplanes, some forces might frantically try to verify it.
However, Lin Chen felt that this possibility was lower.
The biggest possibility is that one of the professors or academicians who contacted him has a problem, and the other party knows that his knowledge is very comprehensive.
The other party doesn't know his identity, but after passing the information out, the intelligence agencies are likely to suspect it's him.
Tampering with the plane his parents-in-law were on to test his strength would make sense.
Even if he doesn't help, Lin Chen estimates that someone will eventually stand up to “help” solve the problem.
“The tree wants to be still, but the wind won't stop.”
Lin Chen muttered to himself.
“Beep beep!”
Lin Chen's phone rang; it was Xu Guofeng calling.
“Dad, are you alright?”
Lin Chen quickly answered the phone and asked.
Xu Guofeng: “We're fine, but thinking about it now, this matter is a bit strange. Perhaps I shouldn't have contacted you; it might bring you trouble.”
“Dad, I understand what you mean.”
“But we can't gamble; the consequences of losing are too serious.”
Lin Chen said.
Now that the matter was resolved, he could tell that even if he didn't take action, someone might have stood up to “help,” but he definitely wouldn't have dared to gamble just now.
The plane included his parents-in-law and a plane full of passengers.
Moreover, the plane was flying to the capital!
If that's really the case, this is a conspiracy in plain sight.
“Lin Chen, take the high-speed rail.”
Xu Guofeng said with some lingering fear.
“Okay.”
Lin Chen didn't want to risk taking a plane now.
Hanging up the phone, Lin Chen called Xu Mengyao.
“Husband, why did you suddenly change to high-speed rail?”
Xu Mengyao asked in confusion.
Changing to high-speed rail meant they had to leave today. She needed to get off work early; Song's family's birthday banquet was at noon tomorrow.
“Take Qianqian to experience it.”
Lin Chen said.
“Alright then… I'll get off work early.”
“Liang Ye will take me to the high-speed rail station; we'll meet at the high-speed rail station.”
Xu Mengyao didn't ask any more questions.
Lin Chen's answer might indicate a special situation.
“I'll book the tickets.”
“Okay.”
Soon Lin Chen booked the high-speed rail tickets.
For ordinary people, flying is safer. If something happens to a high-speed rail traveling at 300 kilometers per hour, the mortality rate is not much different from flying.
The aircraft accident rate is lower.
But for Lin Chen, high-speed rail is safer.
If an accident occurs, he can protect himself and also protect Xu Mengyao and Lin Xiaoqian.
In the evening, Lin Chen and Lin Xiaoqian arrived at the high-speed rail station.
They didn't wait long before Xu Mengyao arrived.
“Mommy.”
Lin Xiaoqian said happily.
“Husband, how long have you been waiting?”
Xu Mengyao reached out and hugged Lin Xiaoqian and asked.
Lin Chen smiled and said: “Less than ten minutes. Let's go in quickly; the train leaves in half an hour.”
Not long after, Lin Chen and the others arrived on the high-speed rail. Lin Chen booked business class, which was very comfortable to ride in. Lin Xiaoqian curiously looked around.
Lin Xiaoqian used to travel long distances by private plane.
“Daddy, can you fold a train?”
Lin Xiaoqian asked in a childish voice.
Lin Chen shook his head: “Daddy can't do that. The train is so long; Daddy doesn't know how to fold a train. Qianqian, if you're bored, Daddy will teach you how to fold an airplane?”
“Okay.”
Lin Xiaoqian giggled.
Lin Chen brought a lot of origami paper, and Lin Xiaoqian followed Lin Chen and folded them seriously.
Xu Mengyao sat in the seat next to her and watched, a sweet smile on her face.
Five minutes passed, and Lin Chen began to gain aircraft manufacturing experience.
His aircraft manufacturing is now at the Grandmaster level.
This level is quite high, but it's still not enough!
