Chapter 104: Ada Wong (Revised)
After spending the day accompanying Ye Qi around Nandu and having a wild time, Sun Cheng finally sent her off on the train to Shanghai on the morning of the 21st. Having been delayed for several days by her arrival, he finally began to get busy.
Utilizing the abilities of Defender, Sun Cheng did not even have to submit any materials; after spending less than half an hour obtaining a passport from the Nandu Police Bureau, he purchased a ticket to Panama City that same morning for the afternoon flight.
He placed his bag on the security scanner, and while he was at it, he also placed the camera hanging around his neck and the ultrathin laptop he was holding onto it as well.
Sun Cheng waited patiently for the security check to finish before picking up his luggage and walking toward the boarding bridge.
"... As expected, I was overthinking it..."
He glanced at the camera and ultrathin laptop in his arms. He had been worried that the two small Decepticons might not pass the security check; after all, when he was in the other world, the Americans had once used detection methods to discover him.
Thinking about it now, it was true that in the real world, there was neither an AllSpark nor a Sector 7 Base, so human detection equipment was indeed unable to capture the special fluctuations on a Decepticon.
Guided by the flight attendants, he boarded a Boeing 747. Because the flight was long, Sun Cheng had bought a business class seat; at least it wouldn't affect his rest too much.
Although China and Costa Rica had a mutual visa-exemption agreement, there were no direct flights. The China Aviation airliner taking off from Nandu could only fly to the capital of Panama first.
Fortunately, Panama and Costa Rica were neighboring countries separated by a body of water, so transferring from Panama City to San Jose was convenient; if he were to take a plane, it would only add about an hour to the journey.
"Sir, your seat is here..."
After finding his seat in business class under the guidance of a flight attendant, Sun Cheng nodded slightly to the tall attendant to thank her.
He scanned the business class cabin and found that there were still many empty seats. Not far from his position, at a double seat, a young man and woman who looked like a couple were being sweet and intimate with each other.
Perhaps because it was in the front row, right next to the business class entrance, Sun Cheng's seat was a single seat located right by the window. Aside from the one opposite him, there was only one other such single seat in the entire business class cabin, which was quite nice.
After the flight attendant helped him put his luggage into the overhead bin, she saw him place the camera and ultrathin laptop on the table in front of him and couldn't help but smile and remind him: "Sir, please pay attention to the regulations on the use of electronic products!"
Sun Cheng nodded, "My phone is already in flight mode, and the other electronic devices are all turned off..."
It was not that electronic products could not be used on the plane; it was mainly because wireless signals might interfere with the aircraft's electronic equipment. Therefore, devices like laptops and mobile phones were generally not allowed to use their built-in functions to connect to the internet while on the plane.
Most of the time, except before takeoff and landing, there would be a period where the use of electronic products was prohibited to avoid interfering with the aircraft.
Perhaps feeling that anyone who could afford business class should be aware of some of the taboos on a plane, the flight attendant bowed slightly to him and exited the business class cabin, not knowing where she went to patrol.
Once she left, Sun Cheng felt at ease. He sank his body into the seat behind him, and his thoughts immediately began to wander.
His sudden decision to go to Costa Rica was not solely to prove whether those two mysterious, aimless invitations were real or fake.
Sun Cheng had another matter he wanted to verify, which was that Defender had been tracking all information regarding 【Jurassic Park】 on the internet. In the end, he found that the few scraps of information he uncovered all pointed to International Genetic Technologies and a private island located within Costa Rica—Nublar Island!
Therefore, only after making full preparations did he embark on this trip to Central America.
Sun Cheng had boarded the plane early. After he arrived, it wasn't long before the business class cabin began to fill up, no longer as empty as it was just now.
Although he was resting with his eyes closed, he had developed a vigilant nature in the other world. Every time someone walked by, he would open his eyes to confirm the person's identity and subconsciously judge the level of threat they posed to him.
Following a slight tapping sound of high heels against the cabin floor, Sun Cheng soon heard the conversation, which had been restrained so as not to disturb others, suddenly grow louder.
"Hey, look. The beauty who just came on board!"
"What a great figure, she's practically a goddess!"
"Honey, if you dare to take one more look, see if I don't gouge your eyeballs out!"
"Hey, honey, don't actually do it!"
His nose keenly caught a whiff of an alluring, rich fragrance. Sun Cheng subconsciously opened his eyes, preparing to look toward where the scent was coming from. He never expected that as soon as he opened his eyes, he would see a very charming young woman sitting down in the single seat opposite him.
With short dark brown hair and brown pupils, she looked like a person of mixed heritage. The lines of her face possessed the soft beauty of an Eastern woman, but in her brows, nose bridge, and lips, one could clearly see some of the sexiness and charm of a Western woman.
The woman was wearing a coffee-colored plaid professional suit. Although Sun Cheng could not identify the brand, the clothes looked especially fitting on the young woman.
Her figure was very proud. Although the buttons of her top were fastened, her full bust still pushed the neckline high, and through the gap, a large expanse of dazzling skin and a hint of a lacy, push-up bra were visible.
Although the woman had sat down, the pair of long, beautiful legs under her professional miniskirt still exposed her nine-head-tall, slender figure.
After subconsciously calculating the approximate data in his mind, Sun Cheng couldn't help but feel a bit surprised. The young woman sitting opposite him, even without the support of high heels, was likely around 1.75 meters tall. Even the tall Ye Qi was not her equal in this regard.
After the woman sat down, she took a file folder out of the business briefcase she was carrying and placed it on the table in front of her.
She then beckoned a flight attendant over and ordered very skillfully, "Bring me a cup of black tea, with half a spoonful of sugar and four spoonfuls of milk..."
Judging by her tone, attitude, and attire, she was either from a prominent family or a successful young career woman.
As soon as this woman entered the business class cabin, she immediately became the focus of all eyes.
Sun Cheng could not be an exception, and he was slightly distracted by her for a few seconds.
The young woman seemed to have long been accustomed to this treatment. She only looked around slightly when ordering from the flight attendant. After she finished ordering, she sat back in her seat and took a thick document out of the file folder she had placed on the table in front of her.
"Swish..."
Perhaps her movements were too large, as a golden card the size of a New Year's card was accidentally pulled out and fell, drifting right to Sun Cheng's feet.
He subconsciously picked up the golden card and was just about to hand it back to the young woman, but after his gaze subconsciously swept over the card he had picked up, Sun Cheng's expression changed slightly.
"To: Atlas Venture Capital Fund. We are honored to extend an invitation to your fund. International Genetic Technologies will hold its third investor meeting on April 23rd on the private island within Costa Rica—Nublar Island. Please be sure to attend; Doctor Hammond will have a surprise in store!"
"Note: Nublar Island is a private island; there are no international flights or other transportation that can reach it directly. Please keep this invitation safe. We have arranged reception personnel at the Larvis Hotel in San Jose, and you will need it then!"
"John Hammond looks forward to your arrival!"
This was actually a golden invitation identical to the one he had received earlier, also from International Genetic Technologies!
In an instant, countless thoughts raced through his mind.
However, Sun Cheng's movements were not slow. He picked up the invitation, stood up, walked to the young woman, and handed it to her: "Miss, you dropped something!"
"Thank you..." The woman stood up with him and smiled, proactively extending her hand: "Ada Wong, hello!"
PS:
Regarding Ada Wong, there are two opinions: that she has pure Chinese ancestry or is of mixed heritage; the former has more supporters. But I really like the 3D movie 【Resident Evil: Damnation】, and this is the version of Ada Wong used.
Recently, the plot progress has been a bit slow because my personal train of thought hasn't been very smooth, but I will pick it up.
