Chapter 2308

The security check process for checked luggage at the airport is different from the security check process for carry-on luggage.

Carry-on luggage is taken through security by the guests themselves, while checked luggage is sent to a special place for security checks via a conveyor belt after the check-in and check-in procedures are completed.

At this time, Ma Lan was still completely unaware of what was about to happen.

After she checked in both suitcases, she took her boarding pass and swaggered to the security gate.

And the woman who was monitoring her nearby, after seeing her finish checking in and the suitcases being sent away by the conveyor belt with her own eyes, felt relieved and immediately stood up and walked out of the airport.

Ma Lan, carrying her Hermès, arrived at the VIP security channel leisurely. After showing her first-class boarding pass, she immediately enjoyed the enthusiastic service of the staff.

While others were still queuing for security, Ma Lan quickly completed the security check and then found a nearby first-class lounge to rest.

At the same time, the two suitcases she checked in were queuing up, waiting to pass through the airport's security machines one by one.

In this process, if no abnormalities are found, they will be released directly and sent to the flight the passenger is taking. Once any abnormality is found in the luggage, the customs border inspection personnel will immediately open the luggage for inspection.

Generally speaking, carefully hidden contraband basically has good concealment. In addition, the risk of leaving the country is far less than entering the country for the local country, so this link is relatively loose. Criminals have at least a 50% chance of successfully passing the exit security check.

However, the entry security check after landing will be much stricter, because many countries and regions have strict entry standards. Some countries do not even allow any fresh fruits to be carried. Even if the fruit the passenger brought on the plane was not finished and one apple was left when landing, if it is discovered by border inspection, it will be heavily fined.

Therefore, the biggest test is actually in the entry link.

In this link, the chance of winning will drop sharply to only about 30%.

Combined with the 50% in the first stage, the total pass rate is actually only around 15%.

Precisely because the success rate is very low, the price of this new type of contraband is surprisingly high in East Asia, with a price per gram as high as more than 2,000 US dollars. It is an exclusive product for super-rich people.

As long as Ma Lan can successfully land in Hong Kong this time and pass the border inspection, the contraband she carries will be worth more than 10 million US dollars.

And at this time, Ma Lan was sitting in the luxurious first-class lounge, drinking coffee while taking pictures and posting a Moments update.

Her caption was: "Preparing to set off back to the country. I'm a bit reluctant to leave. My friend's private jet is undergoing maintenance at Gulfstream, so there's no way, I can only wrong myself and take a regular civil aviation first-class seat."

After editing the Moments, she didn't forget to specifically block Ye Chen, Xiao Churan, and Xiao Changkun.

After posting the Moments, she didn't forget to leisurely make a video call to Xiao Churan.

At this time, Ye Chen and Xiao Churan had already driven away from New York and started to return to Providence.

Xiao Churan, sitting in the passenger seat, answered the video call from her mother and asked, "Mom, have you boarded the plane?"

"Not yet." Ma Lan said with a smile, "Boarding will probably take a while. I'm in the first-class lounge!"

Xiao Churan reminded, "Then you must pay attention to the time. Don't affect boarding. Boarding starts half an hour before takeoff. Go early to avoid rushing when it's late."

Ma Lan said disdainfully, "Pfft, what are you afraid of? I am a distinguished first-class passenger. If I haven't boarded, they wouldn't dare to take off even if they had the guts. Besides, they will definitely call my name over the broadcast to remind me to board. It won't be too late to leave then."

Xiao Churan said helplessly, "Mom, it could clearly be solved in an orderly manner ten or twenty minutes early, why bother others?"

Ma Lan hummed, "Silly girl, do you know that we spent this money on the ticket? Otherwise, why would our ticket be several times more expensive than others? It's only right to bother them."

Xiao Churan only felt a headache.

Sometimes, she felt that she and her mother were people from two different worlds, and she couldn't find the same communication frequency at all.

Moreover, she also knew that her mother was very stubborn. Once she decided on a certain plan, it was impossible for anyone to change her decision.

So Xiao Churan didn't say anything more, just reminded, "Then you must tell me after you get on the plane and before the plane takes off, so I can rest assured."

Ma Lan said with a smile, "Okay, okay, okay, I know. You don't have to worry. Tell my good son-in-law to pay attention to safety when driving. I'll hang up first."

As she spoke, Ma Lan hung up the video directly.

After the video was hung up, Ma Lan immediately went to check the Moments she had just posted. Seeing this made her angry again.

Like the Moments she posted when she took a private jet last time, no one liked it at all.

Ma Lan couldn't help but mutter, "This group of people just can't stand others living better than them! Boring, really boring!"

Just as she was talking, someone suddenly liked the Moments. Ma Lan took a look and was almost angered to death.

Because the person who liked it was Qian Hongyan again.

Among so many WeChat friends, Qian Hongyan's like was the least valuable in Ma Lan's eyes.

Just as she was feeling depressed, Qian Hongyan suddenly sent a video call. Ma Lan couldn't help but feel a headache. At this moment, she even wanted to hang up the video directly.

However, she quickly thought, "Anyway, it's not fun if I don't show off today, so it's the same no matter who I show off to."

So, she pressed the answer button, looked at Qian Hongyan on the other side of the video, and said with a fake smile, "Oh, Hongyan, what are you doing?"

Qian Hongyan said hurriedly, "Sister Lan, I just woke up. Didn't I see your Moments saying you were returning to the country? So I sent you a video to say hello."

Ma Lan asked in surprise, "It's almost evening, and you just woke up?"

Qian Hongyan said hurriedly, "Oh, Sister Lan, you really have a short memory. You forgot that we have a time difference. It's still morning here!"

Ma Lan suddenly realized, nodded and muttered, "How did I forget this... No wonder no one liked my Moments, everyone must be sleeping..."

Qian Hongyan said flatteringly, "Sister Lan, when is your flight? When will you arrive in Jin Ling?"

Ma Lan said proudly, "The plane will take off in about an hour, but I'm not returning to Jin Ling first."

"Ah?" Qian Hongyan couldn't hide her disappointment and asked, "If you're not returning to Jin Ling, where are you going?"

Ma Lan said triumphantly, "The ticket Ye Chen booked for me happens to be a first-class flight to Hong Kong for a layover. I'll take the opportunity to play in Hong Kong for a few days. It just so happens that I have a good sister who has been inviting me to stay in her villa on Severn Road in Hong Kong for a few days. It's really hard to refuse such kindness."

Qian Hongyan said with extreme envy, "Oh my god, Sister Lan! It has to be you! You know everyone! This good sister of yours is the friend you mentioned in your Moments who has a private jet, right?"

"Yes." Ma Lan was flattered by Qian Hongyan, her mood immediately lifted a lot, and she said with a smile, "She is really amazing, with a net worth of billions of US dollars. I heard that she is even a distant relative of our domestic beverage king!"

As she spoke, Ma Lan was already getting carried away and couldn't help showing off, "Hey, do you know how rich this friend of mine is? She bought three 'Rellfas' in one go and said she would give me one when the time comes!"
