Chapter 53: The Plane Takes Off, the Investigation Team Arrives Late

Chase!

That word was almost squeezed out of Han Fei's teeth.

The remaining members of the Investigation Team also knew how serious this was.

Without a word, they hurriedly ran out.

They got in, closed the door, and before anyone could settle, Chen Ke slammed the throttle.

At this moment, everyone in the Investigation Team had only one thought.

That was to catch Xu Mo before he boarded the plane and end this game.

Otherwise, the consequences would be severe.

It doesn't matter whether we get to eat at the celebration feast.

Their biggest wish now is to skip the banquet tonight…

Xu Mo was sitting in the Airline Company's shuttle taking employees to the airport.

The Water Friends in the Live Broadcast Room, after seeing this, felt a strange mix of nervousness and excitement.

"It seems Xu Mo and the Investigation Team are both on this highway; I don't know if they'll catch Xu Mo this time."

"They'll definitely catch him; the Investigation Team's car drives like a damn ground‑hugging aircraft, and they don't care about tickets, so catching up to the Airline Company's car is just a matter of time."

"That would be so boring; I still want to watch for a couple more days. Go, Xu Mo!"

"He runs, they chase; he can't fly with clipped wings."

"WTF, there are two police cars next to the Airline Company's minibus; could those be the Investigation Team's vehicles?"

"From the Investigation Team's perspective, you can see a minibus beside them… this damn is a direct hit!"

"Xu Mo, stop staying in the car, get out and run! Dive into the woods beneath the highway; even if the Investigation Team collapses from exhaustion, they still won't catch you."

…

After more than an hour of driving.

The Airline Company's minibus arrived at the airport.

Xu Mo, Yang Jingxuan, Wang Li, and the rest of the crew had changed into their uniforms and boarded the plane.

When the take‑off time arrived, Xu Mo and Yang Jingxuan could leave Yangcheng.

Of course, before take‑off, one task is indispensable.

That is to inspect the aircraft and eliminate every potential safety hazard, even a seemingly insignificant loose screw must be dealt with.

An aircraft isn't like a car; you can't just pull over on the road for repairs.

Once the plane is in the sky, any malfunction becomes fatal.

Xu Mo knows this well, so as the Pilot he checks especially carefully.

He goes through the paper checklist item by item.

…

The Investigation Team arrived at the airport.

What they need to do now is race against time.

Before Xu Mo checks in, yank this kid off the Pilot's seat!

No matter what, they can't let him fly the plane.

After a few of them got out of the car, they immediately ran into the terminal.

At first, some staff tried to stop them.

But after Han Fei and the others identified themselves, the staff promptly indicated willingness to cooperate.

At that moment, Chen Ke spotted, not far away, a person in a Pilot's uniform.

"Now I've got you, you kid, stop!"

He said that and charged straight at him.

"WTF?" the Pilot blurted, froze for a moment, then without thinking bolted.

It would have been fine not to run, but now that he's running—

The Investigation Team instantly confirmed.

This guy is Xu Mo.

Han Fei and Li Chen also charged.

"Xu Mo, stop!"

"I'm not Xu Mo, you've got the wrong person!"

He kept saying that while running, showing no intention of stopping.

But running was useless.

The officers' stamina isn't something to joke about.

Chasing people, they're very skilled.

They've encountered such situations countless times.

The gap between them quickly closed.

Soon, Chen Ke pinned the Pilot to the ground.

"Still running? Let me catch you now?"

The Pilot he had pinned was face‑down on the ground.

"Big Brother… Big Brother, listen to my explanation, this isn't what you think; it was your girlfriend who initiated it! I'm a victim too!"

Chen Ke: "???"

Realizing something was off, Chen Ke flipped the Pilot he had pinned over.

Pilot: "Don't slap my face, don't slap my face!"

Chen Ke saw clearly; this person… wasn't Xu Mo at all.

At this moment, Han Fei and Li Chen, who arrived a step after Chen Ke, also rushed over.

He glanced at the Pilot who had been pressed to the ground.

The three exchanged a look.

Damn, they grabbed the wrong one again!

Originally, the Pilot was still shielding his face with his hand, fearing his face would be hit.

But after waiting a long time, the opponent's fist simply never came down.

He moved the hand that was covering his face away.

He saw clearly the appearances of the three men before him.

He was stunned.

Among these three, none was the Flight Attendant's boyfriend who had been hitting on him.

"Not Xu Mo…," Chen Ke sighed, releasing the Pilot.

Li Chen panted heavily, looking at the Pilot.

"Why are you running?"

"You chase me, how could I not run?"

"We're after Xu Mo; didn't we shout when we were chasing someone? You're not Xu Mo, why are you running?"

"I… I'm scared…"

"You…," Li Chen squeezed his fist.

To be honest, he really wanted to land a punch on this Pilot.

But he knew clearly that he was a police officer, and every move represented the Police, so he couldn't strike arbitrarily.

"Cao!" Chen Ke couldn't help but curse.

"Forget it." Han Fei wiped his face: "Don't waste time; finding Xu Mo is what matters."

After speaking, he reached out and helped the Pilot to his feet.

"Sorry, seeing you run, we thought you were the Xu Mo we were after."

At this moment, the Airport staff also rushed over and explained the identities of these people to the Pilot.

Pilot: "…"

So they were members of the Police.

He even thought, damn, this was that Flight Attendant's boyfriend!

What is this?

He hesitated, then the Pilot looked at Han Fei.

"You're looking for Xu Mo? That newly arrived Pilot? Did he commit any crime?"

"Do you know Xu Mo?" Han Fei asked: "Where is he now?"

"I know him; he's with my Airline Company. Today the new Pilot just arrived, also at the airport; today is his first flight with our company. I don't know exactly where he is, but you can have the Airport staff check for you."

Hearing this, Han Fei looked at the Airport staff.

Without any small talk, he said directly.

"Could you help me find Xu Mo's flight? Please be quick."

"Alright."

Though the staff didn't know why the Police were looking for Xu Mo, they still cooperated.

They immediately looked up Xu Mo's flight.

Soon, the staff returned.

"Found it: MH380!"

Seeing this, the Live Broadcast Room instantly erupted.

"Xu Mo is about to be caught! They even managed to find the flight info, damn!"

"Looks like this episode ends here."

"Hope the Program Crew next time can find someone even more powerful than Xu Mo, so we can run for a year or two and have fun."

……

"Take us there!" Han Fei said.

He thought Xu Mo this time really can't escape, right?

The next second, the Airport staff scratched his head.

"Um… you're late."

He hesitated, then pointed at the plane climbing in the sky: "That one up there is MH380."

Han Fei: "???"
