Chapter 22: Ho Wanping and George
There was no progress in the Internet cafΓ© policy for a while, but Han Baichuan successfully came up with a way, dressed the Americans as local wizards, and brought the wizard's wood carving masks, and then divided them into two times before they successfully sent He Wanping and the Americans to the airport security area, took a charter flight to Hong Kong, and finally let them escape from Indonesia smoothly, while Han Baichuan led the team back to Jakarta to investigate the mastermind behind the riot.
When she first arrived at the airport security area, He Wanping actually didn't have much sense of security, although after meeting those mysterious Chinese a few days ago, her living environment has been greatly improved, but as long as she didn't leave Indonesia, a hellish place, she couldn't really feel at ease, the terrifying encounter more than ten days ago kept reappearing in her mind, whenever she closed her eyes to rest, as long as there was a little noise around her, she would jump up immediately like a frightened rabbit, open her eyes and observe the surrounding situation vigilantly, those Americans are only slightly better than her, after all, there are familiar companions aroundγ
So when someone handed He Wanping a change of clothes and asked her to take a shower and change into clean clothes in the bathroom next to the lounge, she refused without hesitation, she still can't forget that when she hid in her aunt's friend's house and saw the gang of thugs rushing in the bathroom, she was afraid that the same thing would happen, so even if she was dirty, she didn't dare to go to the bathroom alone. It wasn't until everyone boarded the plane, and then the plane left the ground in Indonesia, that her heart that had been hanging finally let go.
He Wanping took her eyes back from the porthole and began to look at the environment in the cabin in a relaxed mood. Maybe there are fewer people on the plane, and when they first boarded the plane, they were arranged in the first class of the plane, but the quiet environment made everyone feel a little palpitating, so at their strong request, they changed to the business class on the lower deck, and the seats were also comfortable and wide, but because they could see the people next to them, everyone always felt a little more dependent. Now that the plane is climbing, the smiling stewardesses I saw when boarding the plane have honestly sat in front at this time, but a few magazines full of square words in the back bag in front of me still make He Wanping feel very intimate and have a sense of returning to civilized society.
The mood relaxed, He Wanping also noticed the ragged clothes on her body at this time, and after the plane was changed to a flat flight, she took her own change of clothes, stood up and prepared to wash up, but I didn't expect those Americans to stand up at this time, and also held their own change of clothes in their hands, everyone couldn't help but be stunned, and then they all laughed.
The flight attendants also unbuckled their seat belts at this time and began to make their own preparations, and one of the slightly taller flight attendants noticed that the passengers were all planning to take a bath, so they greeted them and said in a soft tone: "Hello passengers, if you need to take a bath, please come with me." We had a total of six lavatories on the plane, all with hot water. β
Originally, he was still making eye contact, trying to get out of the crowd who came first and then came, but now he was not in a daze, anyway, there was no need to queue up at all, and he followed the stewardess and went to the bathroom. After receiving the clean towel sent by the flight attendant, He Wanping used the hot water flowing from the sprinkler head to scrub her body with a towel, which was the first time she was able to take a happy bath in more than ten days. After more than half an hour, He Wanping finally walked out of the bathroom refreshed, not only did her clothes change from the inside to the outside, but her whole person also seemed to be completely new, and even the bad luck on her body seemed to be washed away.
Returning to the business class in a relaxed and happy manner, and taking the drink from the flight attendant, He Wanping's mood was also much better, and while drinking the drink, she also greeted the Americans with great interest: "George, how do you feel......
Several Americans have taken a shower and drunk the hot drinks sent by the flight attendants, and they all feel warm all over their bodies, and every pore from head to toe is very comfortable. At this time, the stewardess pushed the cart to bring the dinner on the plane, which is different from the relatively simple diet in business class on weekdays, and the food launched this time is richer than that of the first class, French red wine dinner, English afternoon tea, Chinese food with a variety of colors, and even fresh fish that are rarely seen on ordinary planes......
After dinner and a short rest, the plane began to descend slowly. It is also that thrilling rappelling, which brings everyone the feeling of riding a roller coaster in a playground, thrilling all the way, once stopped, there is only the feeling of the rest of the life left in the heart, just like the encounter in Indonesia for more than ten days.
The cabin door opened, and He Wanping walked out under the guidance of the flight attendant, and what appeared in front of her was the familiar Kai Tak Airport, where she had to come and go many times a year, but there was no such deep feeling as that time. He Wanping walked down the gangway slowly, looking around casually, several black Mercedes-Benz cars parked not far away attracted her attention, and then she found a few familiar figures standing next to the car.
"Daddy~" He Wanping rushed down from the gangway and threw herself into the arms of a middle-aged man, tears gushed down from her eyes, and at the same time, there was a "click" sound from the far surroundings, and bursts of snow-white flashes instantly illuminated the scene as if it were daylight......
Dai Shihua, who was standing on the side, and Tong Huanyun, the general manager of Shuxiang Newspaper, glanced at each other, and they both showed smiles on their faces. Dai Shihua looked at He Wanping, who was crying in his father's arms, took out his mobile phone from his arms, walked away a little, and dialed Zhang Lexing's phone.
Zhang Lexing and Chen Zishan were having dinner at home at this time, and as soon as they picked up the bowl villa, the phone rang, Zhang Lexing put down the dishes and chopsticks in his hand, came to the sofa and picked up the phone.
"Boss, good news, He Wanping has returned. Dai Shihua's joyful voice came from the phone.
"That's great, how is her situation?" Although Zhang Lexing already knew that He Wanping would be sent to the airport before, sometimes there were likely to be some unexpected situations, and it was not until now that he heard that the plane had landed and He Wanping arrived safely, and he was relieved.
"It's in a good situation and the spirit looks good. However, I estimate that there will be a lot of reporters who have come to inquire about the news during this time, and maybe their family's life will be disturbed a little. β
"Well, you ask He Wanping if she is willing to hold a press conference to introduce her experience during this period to reporters, of course, if she is unwilling, she must not be forced. If there is a reporter who wants to follow up and interview, he Wanping's family can go to the group's hotel for one night tonight, and talk about it tomorrow. β
"Okay, boss. There are also a few Americans who are coming back on the same plane as He Wanping, how are we going to arrange it?"
"Arrange them to live in a hotel, remember to arrange them on the same floor as He Wanping's family, and arrange a few bodyguards to ensure their safety, and don't do anything else. β
"Okay, boss, I'll arrange it. β
Hanging up the phone, Zhang Lexing returned to the dining table and sat down with a happy face, Chen Zishan glanced at it curiously, and asked, "Lexing, what are you so happy about?"
"He Wanping of Scholarly Newspaper has returned from Indonesia, safe and sound!"
"Ah," Chen Zishan recalled the bloody photos and videos she saw some time ago, and couldn't help but sigh: "A girl is so lucky to come back alive from that kind of place!"
Zhang Lexing also said with emotion: "Yes, her luck is really good!"
"Lexing, why don't we go and visit her, after all, she is also an employee of your company. β
"Okay, then we'll go tomorrow morning. β
"Hmm. Chen Zishan responded, her face suddenly became a little gloomy, and the chopsticks in her hand were pulling the food in the bowl indiscriminately, but she didn't plan to eat it at all.
"Shanshan, what's wrong with you, your face is so bad. Zhang Lexing noticed that Chen Zishan's expression was a little wrong, and hurriedly asked with concern: "Do you remember what you saw that day again?"
"Hey~" Chen Zishan didn't speak, just sighed.
Since Chen Zishan saw the riots in Indonesia from TV, she has always been in a bad mood from time to time in these days, although she is still the same as before when she should go to work and go home, but Zhang Lexing can still feel that her mood has not been good, but fortunately he has been prepared.
"Shanshan, I'm going to take some rest next month, are you interested in accompanying me to Europe to have fun? β
"Next month, it seems that there is a research project that has reached a critical time, and I am afraid that I will not be able to leave. β
"Work is always busy, you haven't had a good rest for months, it's time to relax, and besides, you don't worry about the ability of your subordinates. It's really not good, let's bring a laptop, you can email me if you have something, just accompany me. β
"Okay, okay, I promise you, but you'll have to give me a little time. β
"Okay, then give you a week, it should be enough. Zhang Lexing's face showed a smile of victory......
That evening, after receiving a warm reception, several Americans went back to their rooms to rest. One of them, named George, returned to his room, and did not immediately go to bed, but sat on a chair in the guest room, looking out the window at the night scene in a daze, until the clock rang at nine o'clock, he seemed to suddenly react, came to the bedside and picked up the phone to dial an international call.
The phone rang for a long time before someone picked it up, "Hello~", a tired and hoarse male voice came from the phone, which used to be George's extremely familiar voice. When this simple question was transmitted through the telephone network, George, who had always thought he was very strong, his voice involuntarily choked: "Dad, I am in Hong Kong now, very safe and ......"
β¦β¦
George, who had finished the call, sat in the room for a while, feeling very bored, so he got up and was about to go to his friends, and as soon as he walked out of the door, he saw an acquaintance in the corridor.
"Miss He, you haven't rested so late?" George greeted in English very politely.
"Feeling a bit bored and wanting to get out and walk. He Wanping smiled and said, "George, what about you?"
"Me too!" George shrugged and invited with a smile, "I heard that there is a nice cafΓ© on the second floor here, I wonder if Miss He is interested in going and sitting together." β
"Okay. He Wanping smiled and nodded, this is the group's own hotel, and the security is much better than the ordinary hotels outside, and there is no need to worry about so many reporters like flies staring at the airport, so she dared to agree to George's invitation.
The two took the elevator to the cafΓ© on the second floor, deliberately chose a seat that was not close to the window, each ordered a cup of coffee, asked for some snacks, and then chatted casually while tasting.
"Miss Ho, this is my first time in Hong Kong, although the road is only a passing by, but I also think the city is beautiful, especially at night. β
"yes, George. He Wanping took a piece of sugar and threw it into the coffee, and replied casually while stirring it with a spoon.
"Miss Ho......"
"Hmmm......"
"Miss He, I feel like you're a little preoccupied, is it convenient to say it?"
"Actually, as you know, when we first got off the plane, there weren't a lot of reporters around trying to do an interview, and if someone hadn't stopped us, maybe we wouldn't have been able to leave. β
"Yes!" George nodded in agreement.
"When I left the airport, there were a lot of reporters driving behind me, so I didn't dare to go home. My boss suggested that I hold a press conference and take the initiative to tell the reporters what they want to know, so that the reporters would not bother me all the time. But I couldn't make up my mind whether to hold a press conference or not. George, what do you think?"
"Miss Ho......"
"Just call me Wendy. β
"Wendy, in fact, this matter still depends on your own meaning, because what you want to say is your own private matter, and you can not tell anyone at all. β
"But what happened to my cousin's family, and what happened to my aunt and her friend's family, I don't want to just pass it off as if it didn't happen. β
"Wendy, I don't know your justice system, I can only give you a reference. If I were in such a situation, I would go to the U.S. District Court and sue him, and I trust that our judicial system will protect me. β
He Wanping actually didn't know much about the law, so after listening to George's words, she was even more troubled, originally she was just thinking about whether to hold a press conference to deal with reporters, and now she had to think about where to sue those Indonesians in order to get justice for her cousin's family and herself.
Knowing that she returned to her room after drinking coffee, He Wanping was still distressed by this, lying on the bed tossing and turning and couldn't sleep, so she had to get up and turn on the TV to kill time. The TV series that happened to be broadcast talked about the persecution of the protagonist and his family, and in order to resist, he exposed all the information he had to the press, which brought great pressure to his persecutors. Seeing this, He Wanping felt a flash of inspiration in her mind and thought of how she should choose.
"Maybe it would be a good idea to tell everything......" He Wanping sat in a chair by the window, thinking to herself.
