Chapter 473: You Finally Came Back (Part 3)
"Li Weiwei?"
In the VIP room, Sheng Jianan squinted at the woman in front of him.
The man’s eyes were very dark and profound. Although he hadn’t done anything, he inexplicably gave off a suffocating sense of oppression.
Li Weiwei was momentarily stunned and nodded, "I... I am Li Weiwei, may I ask who you are...?"
Sheng Jianan passed his phone to her, "Where is this person?"
Li Weiwei looked at the not-so-clear picture on the phone, swallowed, "Su... Sister Su?"
"Where is she?"
"She... she... she already went through."
"Went through?"
"She just called me saying she’s already finished with security."
For international flights, it’s border control first, then customs, and security last. This means that once security is done, you can wait to board the plane.
The aura around Sheng Jianan became stern, but his tone remained calm, "Do you have her phone number? Call her."
"Oh... oh."
Li Weiwei dialed Su Anle’s phone number but was informed that it was currently busy. Everyone present could feel the coldness on the man becoming even stronger.
"It didn’t... didn’t go through."
Sheng Jianan retrieved the photo from his own phone and once again placed it in front of Li Weiwei, "Is it her?"
Li Weiwei stared at the person in the picture for a long time, then nodded, "She looks very similar, but the sense is different."
Someone came in from outside, awkwardly speaking to Sheng Jianan, "Mr. Sheng, over by border control... when do you think it can open?"
Sheng Jianan didn’t even lift his eyes, "Let them go through, but don’t let the planes fly."
"This... yes."
Li Weiwei was stunned, oh my! Who is this person? Can he just say no flights and they’ll stop?
Li Weiwei called Su Anle again, this time finally getting through. After a few rings, a calm female voice came from the other side, "Hello?"
Holding Li Weiwei’s phone, Sheng Jianan’s fingers trembled slightly, and the coldness disappeared, replaced by a kind of desolation, an endless emptiness.
Years later, someone posted a comment thread online titled: When have you seen a man at his most desolate?
One of the top-voted answers—"One moment, I thought he was so powerful, so cool, in control of the entire world. The next moment, I realized, he had lost everything in the world."
This was Li Weiwei’s most fitting response to the scene before her.
The person on the other end of the phone, just a single "Hello", while the person on this side seemed like land parched for years receiving a rush of fresh spring water.
Sheng Jianan handed the phone back to Li Weiwei, covering the mouthpiece, "Tell her to come here."
"Su... Sister Su, there’s a problem here, can you come out to get me?"
Su Anle listened to Li Weiwei’s clearly trembling voice on the phone, and didn’t expose it; this explanation was full of loopholes.
Yet she simply replied, "I’ll be out soon."
Inside, people were already clamoring, broadcast announcements informed that due to a control tower issue, all planes would suspend departure, and the crowd inside was already restless.
Su Anle believed that even if she didn’t go out, that person would come in. Since he caused this much commotion at the airport, he wouldn’t let her leave peacefully.
Technically, those who have passed through customs and security would find it complicated to come out again, but Su Anle smoothly exited, the border control outside had resumed, with long lines forming, occasionally hearing disgruntled complaints.
