Chapter 167 Military Base

"An important person on board that the government cares about?"

Luo Hua murmured unconsciously. She was not the only one surprised; Ye Lian and the co-pilot of the plane were in the same situation.

"Ah, I'm sorry. I know I shouldn't ask such things."

Realizing her mistake, Luo Hua quickly apologized. From the first moment, she and the rest of the passengers saw Xie Feng and Yin Yue demonstrate strength and abilities that went far beyond what an average human being could do, probably the vast majority of them had come to the conclusion that they both belonged to some special department under orders from the government. After all, although many things that happened in movies were fiction, there was also some reality within the fiction.

However, Luo Hua, Ye Lian, and the rest knew that they had no right to know anything about it.

Surprisingly to everyone in the place, Xie Feng answered honestly: " In fact. That silent beauty over there is the daughter of China's highest authority."

"What?"

Ye Lian exclaimed in surprise as she looked at Gu Qianxue. She would never have imagined that the girl beside her, who was as beautiful like a fairy, actually had such a status!

Gu Qianxue smiled sweetly and waved as she introduced herself. Although she did not know the reason why Xie Feng revealed her status in front of these people, Gu Qianxue completely trusted him. If she had doubts in her mind before, what happened earlier had removed any remaining doubts.

Although Gu Qianxue could not see, her other senses were very sharp. She knew perfectly well that more than one person tried to harm them and she also knew that one woman even fired her gun at them. But here she was standing there, safe and healthy... And she knew it was all because of the young man in front of her.

Therefore, what reason would she have to doubt him? Gu Qianxue was sure that Xie Feng would never do anything to hurt her or harm her in any way.

"O-Okay, I'll adjust the plane's course right now." Luo Hua nodded and with somewhat clumsy movements, changed the plane's course to the coordinates indicated by Xie Feng.

Up from the sky, the illuminated lights of the city created a beautiful view similar to the stars in the night sky.

"And to think that such a beautiful sight was actually created by such a vile beast as a human being..."

Sitting on a seat away from everyone, Xie Feng looked at the beautiful sight and couldn't help but murmur. But then, he shook his head:

"No. It may look beautiful from afar. But the closer we get, the more its ugliness shows. Just a temporary false beauty that disappears when we get a better look at it."

Just like a whirlwind; pictures taken from outer space may look beautiful, but the reality was that far from being beautiful, they were ugly and terrifying.

"Xiao Feng, are you okay?"

Shen Xinya somehow managed to escape Xie Yao's gaze and searched for Xie Feng but could not find him. Only after searching for several minutes did she find him in the economic area, alone, sitting on a seat in the back.

Seeing his somewhat lost look, she couldn't help but ask as she sat down next to him and removed the scarf from her face. Anyway, there was no one else in this area, so she was fine.

"I'm fine, why do you ask?" Xie Feng replied with a smile. However, his thoughts were still quite lost as he did not even react to the great beauty in front of him.

"Don't do that." Shen Xinya shook her head and said softly, "Although it's been many years since we last met, I know you. I know that when something weighs on your mind you get philosophical and think bad things like what you were murmuring just now."

At first, Xie Feng was surprised, then he forced an inward smile and shook his head helplessly.

As he looked Shen Xinya in the eyes, Xie Feng smiled bitterly, "Am I that easy to read?"

"No. It's just that somehow I know that now your feelings are somewhat out of place." With a smile and a sad look, Shen Xinya caressed his face gently, "Although I don't know how or why this is happening, ever since you talked to that person earlier I noticed the change in you and since then I myself started to feel uncomfortable."

With a complex look, Xie Feng didn't know what to say so he just listened to her silently.

"Although I don't know what happened, nor do I know what will happen, I believe that if the decision you made even after careful thought makes you feel this way but you still don't regret it, then I'm sure that's the right decision." With a tender smile, Shen Xinya, who had taken off the scarf that covered her face for him, comforted him, "Therefore, don't worry too much. I'm sure you have your reasons."

Hearing her words, Xie Feng was silent as he stared into her eyes as if he wanted to see if what she said was real or just empty words to make him feel better and, as if she knew what he was thinking, Shen Xinya also looked him straight in the eyes.

The two stayed silent like that, while looking at each other, until Xie Feng finally smiled:

"Since we were little it was always like this right? Whenever I felt sad, you were always there to comfort me. Even when those kids bullied me or hit me but I didn't fight back because I didn't want to hurt them, you were always there. Even though your words are a bit harsh sometimes, in hard times you're always there to support the people you treasure."

"Hehe~ If you know that I treasure you, then it's okay!" Shen Xinya smiled beautifully, leaving Xie Feng dazed at such beauty. However, just a second later, the image of Xie Yao appeared in his mind, snapping him out of his daze.

"Thank you for your words. They helped me a lot, really." With a real smile instead of a fake one, Xie Feng gently patted the superstar's head and assured her, "But don't worry. At least, I'll make sure that you won't lose anything. I guarantee it."

"Uh? What do you mean?" Shen Xinya tilted her head slightly.

Seeing her act so cute, Xie Feng couldn't help but gently squeeze her cheeks, earning a reprimanding look from her. Still, Shen Xinya didn't stop him.

"Well, you'll see. For now, it's a secret." Instead of answering her, Xie Feng gave her a wink and then looked out the window once more. Only this time all his doubts were gone thanks to Shen Xinya's words.

'That's right. This is the best thing for them too,' he thought.

Unfortunately, Xie Feng was so focused on the outside, that he did not notice the beautiful blush on the face of the beauty next to him.

Flight number F-98199 arrived safely at a nearby military base. After an explanation by Luo Hua to the passengers through the plane's transmitters, all passengers knew that they would be inspected by the military.

Although they did not quite know what was going on, it seems that Xie Feng and Yin Yue's demonstration helped everyone behave honestly. Even fat Xiong Wang acted honestly like a little mouse and did not dare to complain in the least about the wasted time or the like.

When the passengers began to get off the plane in an orderly manner under the guidance of the stewardesses, they were a little frightened to see the plane being surrounded by several armed soldiers.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please do not panic! In case there are still any evildoers mingling among the innocent people like yourselves, we are doing this to ensure everyone's safety."

A man of about 50 years old dressed in a green military suit and adorned with several medals shouted loudly. Although the man had already entered old age, his body was as straight as a spear and his voice as loud as a lion's roar, successfully attracting everyone's gaze.

Next to the 50-year-old was a man of about the same age as Yin Yue, scanning the crowd attentively and carefully. His eyes had a touch of coldness in them and Xie Feng was sure that the number of people killed by that young man was more than a dozen.

Seeing the medical team approaching, the passengers and flight staff finally relaxed a bit. Although there was only one victim during the whole incident, more than one passenger was beaten by Mo Li earlier; so there were some slightly injured.

The military elder nodded in satisfaction with how everything went smoothly and then approached Xie Feng and the girls.

"My name is Tang Pei, my military rank is Colonel. You must be Special Agent Xie Feng?"

With a casual but polite smile, Xie Feng replied: "Well, rather than 'Special Agent', I guess I'm more of a 'Temporary Agent'..."

Although Xie Feng felt that his attitude was polite enough, it seems that the young man standing silently behind Colonel Tang Pei did not agree with that as he immediately frowned and reprimanded in dissatisfaction:

"How rude. Do you know who you are talking to?"

Xie Feng gave him a sidelong glance but did not respond. He had only just arrived in Beijing, so he didn't want to cause trouble. As much as possible, he would restrain himself so that Xie Yao and Gu Qianxue would enjoy this trip together as much as possible.

Who knows, they might even become friends with Shen Xinya when he introduces them properly. Xie Feng believed that when Xie Yao knew that the superstar she admired so much was by her side, she would probably feel happy.
