Chapter 264: Little Q and Ke Bei Discover the Truth About Macedonia Island
That male flight attendant was responsible for the economy class section.
After this male flight attendant was brought over.
The female chief purser in her thirties sternly questioned him about why he was distributing these letters to first class passengers and what he intended to do.
Faced with the chief purser's questioning, this male flight attendant unusually remained silent.
This male flight attendant didn't answer questions and maintained silence.
This wasn't just about avoiding questions, but also a challenge to the chief purser's authority.
Next, the chief purser began verbal threats.
Of course, the so-called verbal threats were nothing more than saying there would be internal penalties for this behavior.
For example, verbal or written warnings.
Flight suspensions, written self-criticisms. Of course, these were still relatively light.
In serious cases, his career might be directly terminated.
But this male flight attendant simply wouldn't speak and remained silent.
Seeing that the male flight attendant refused to speak, the chief purser had no choice.
After all, she had used every verbal threat possible.
Yet the other person completely ignored her.
Of course, having done something like this, it was believed this male flight attendant had already considered the corresponding consequences.
Finally having no other options, the chief purser could only apologize to everyone in first class, including Jiang Ran and the others.
Then she had others take the male flight attendant back.
Immediately as an apology.
The chief purser had the first class flight attendants immediately serve snacks and tea.
Of course, after that wave of kraft paper letters, everyone in first class's attention was no longer on these delicious snacks and tea.
All their focus was on ["Stay away from Macedonia Island!
There's great danger there!"]
This statement.
"Ke Bei, what do you think?"
Xiao Q asked Ke Bei at this moment.
Ke Bei said: "According to what the chief purser and other flight attendants just said."
"This male flight attendant didn't just give them to us, he distributed them to all passengers in other cabins too."
"Currently, everyone in our first class is definitely going to Macedonia Island, but we don't know if anyone from other cabins is going."
"So it's not specifically targeted at us."
"But regardless of whether it's intentionally targeting us or not, the problem we face now is whether this statement is true or false, and whether we should still go to the island to play?"
Xiao Peng seemed to think of something and said in Xiao Q's ear: "Do you think Macedonia Island might really be dangerous? After all, who among us could have imagined that Alice Apartment would also be filled with deadly traps?"
Xiao Q narrowed his eyes, smacking his lips thoughtfully.
At this moment.
Another male student among the international student friends with Su Yang.
Wearing the disposable slippers provided on the plane.
Yawning, stood up and said: "Alright, I was sleeping quite well, but now I've been woken up because of this nonsense."
"Waking me up is one thing, but you're actually sitting here discussing whether what's written here is true?"
"Come on, this is definitely fake!"
"This kind of thing is clearly a business tactic."
"My dad has used similar business tactics before to ruin a tourist destination, saying the place was haunted."
"If you don't believe me, you can ask the flight attendants on this plane - they frequently fly this route and should know whether that Macedonia Island is dangerous or not, and what it's really like."
Su Yang and the others thought this made sense.
Therefore, Su Yang immediately called over several first class flight attendants.
Sure enough, many flight attendants said they knew about Macedonia Island.
But only two flight attendants had actually visited and played there.
And according to these two flight attendants' testimonies.
Macedonia Island was very fun, with excellent hotel service.
As for danger, they didn't feel there was any danger - it was just a normal tourist island.
Hearing this.
Su Yang immediately laughed heartily: "Looks like it's just as my friend said - it's a tactic cooked up by business competitors aiming to ruin Macedonia Island."
This settled the matter.
Because of this, everyone in first class immediately relaxed.
No one took that male flight attendant's letter seriously anymore.
Jiang Ran felt the same way - he also thought what Su Yang's UK study abroad classmate said was quite reasonable.
It should just be a business tactic created by competitors!
At this moment.
Xiao Q and Ke Bei exchanged glances, then both went to the restroom together.
Inside the restroom.
Xiao Q said: "Ke Bei, you probably think the same as me - that this likely isn't some business tactic created by competitors, right?"
Ke Bei remained silent for a moment, then said: "To be honest, if I hadn't seen Jiang Ran on this plane, I would think it's a business tactic."
Xiao Q said: "I know what you're thinking. According to our speculation, inside Alice Apartment, aside from unlucky people like us who signed agreements to enter, there were all kinds of deranged criminals. So you think Jiang Ran is a deranged criminal?"
Ke Bei said: "Jiang Ran saved you before, and my overall impression of Jiang Ran doesn't seem like those deranged criminals - he seems like an ordinary person."
Xiao Q frowned: "Then let's assume he's like us - an unlucky person who signed an agreement to enter."
"Then what's the story behind him so coincidentally appearing on the same plane as us, going to the exact same destination?"
Both Xiao Q and Ke Bei felt things were becoming increasingly complicated.
Actually, when they first encountered Jiang Ran in the first class cabin of the plane.
They had already felt suspicious - how could it be such a coincidence?
But they didn't take it too seriously, thinking it might genuinely be fate.
Especially since Xiao Q still remembered Jiang Ran's life-saving grace from before.
After all, back then, when they were fleeing, only Jiang Ran had opened his door, even though they had forced their way in...
So Xiao Q and Ke Bei hadn't discussed this suspicion with each other at the time, only thinking about it privately.
Next, the two left the restroom.
To verify some things, Xiao Q went to Jiang Ran's side and pretended to chat casually: "By the way, Jiang Ran, I haven't asked yet - what a coincidence that we're all going to Macedonia Island on the same day. What made you think of going there to play?"
Jiang Ran, thinking it was just ordinary conversation, said: "Apartment benefits."
Xiao Q was startled: "Apartment benefits? Can you elaborate?"
Jiang Ran said: "Not long after I moved into the apartment, I became the assistant manager."
"Then, this apartment benefit actually belonged to Manager Xiao Zhang."
"He said there's an annual free apartment trip, and this time it's Macedonia Island, but he has thalassophobia so he gave it to me."
"Hey, why are you asking in such detail?"
"By the way, you're asking how I got to go - I wanted to ask how you got to go too?!"
Xiao Q said: "I came because Ke Bei won first prize at the Wangchuan Grain Pancakes shop in the city. Free travel."
Jiang Ran was stunned, then smiled: "What a coincidence! I won first prize at that pancake shop before too!"
Hearing this, Xiao Q felt like he'd been struck by lightning internally.
But on the surface, he still pretended to be calm.
"What was your first prize?"
Jiang Ran said quietly: "An Alice Apartment unit."
"Otherwise, how do you think an ordinary person like me could afford to live there?"
Xiao Q was completely dumbfounded at this point.
He returned somewhat dazed to Ke Bei's side and told him what had just happened.
Both were intelligent people.
Although they didn't know the truth, if Jiang Ran wasn't lying, then based on everything, that pancake shop probably had problems...
Thinking about it now, when have domestic businesses ever been so conscientious?
Looking back now, it all feels like traps.
Then, returning to this Macedonia Island seven-day tour.
Combining two points: Jiang Ran's Alice Apartment prize was an extremely dangerous place.
Then the Macedonia Island seven-day tour they won - could it also be an extremely dangerous place?
"Wait, Macedonia Island seven-day tour? Seven days? Isn't that the same as the seven-day agreement we signed to live in Alice Apartment?"
At this point, these two increasingly felt that it might be exactly as the male flight attendant's statement said.
That Macedonia Island has great danger - this might actually be true.
The two went to the restroom together again.
Ke Bei said: "It's still not too late to not go to Macedonia Island now. Anyway, after getting off the plane, we'll be on another island. Only afterwards do we take a boat to Macedonia Island. Now it depends on what Xiao Peng says?"
Xiao Q said: "If we tell Xiao Peng about this, he'll definitely choose not to go too. After all, everyone was quite terrified in the apartment."
"But this trip - it won't work! I also invited Su Yang, and Su Yang invited his classmates and friends!"
"If I back out halfway, what would Su Yang think?"
"And if I tell him these truths? Would he believe me?"
"He absolutely wouldn't! Instead, he'd think I'm messing with him halfway!"
"I brought him here, so I have to take responsibility!"
Ke Bei leaned against the washbasin, thinking for a long time.
Then, he said quietly to Xiao Q: "Maybe our earlier speculations were all wrong, and there's no danger on this trip."
Xiao Q remained silent.
Ke Bei: "Of course, that's optimism. Even if I say there's no danger, you wouldn't believe it."
"And assuming there is danger, I don't think the danger would be greater than Alice Apartment."
"Think about it - Alice Apartment was a confined space."
"While that island is a tourist destination - besides us, there will definitely be other tourists."
"With so many people, generally it's not easy for incidents to occur."
"Having many people around brings a sense of security."
Xiao Q looked up and said: "How about this, Ke Bei - you tell Xiao Peng the truth later, and the two of you don't go. I'll accompany them alone. They came because I invited them, so I have to take responsibility for them."
Xiao Q was quite a good person, at least at this moment not considering running away alone.
Ke Bei smiled: "Do you think Xiao Peng and I would do something like that?"
"After all, we're partners who've been through life and death together."
"As for if there really is danger on the island..."
"To be honest, people face many dangers in life, and it's not like you can avoid them just by knowing about them."
"Just like before I signed the agreement to enter Alice Apartment, I already felt that apartment wasn't simple, but didn't I still go in?"
'Knowing there are tigers in the mountains, yet deliberately heading for the tiger mountains.'
"That's what makes life exciting."
"And if, after we go to the island, we might die there."
"Then that's fate."
"I accept it."
Xiao Q looked at Ke Bei before him, feeling that Ke Bei had a certain radiance about him.
A radiance of facing life and death with complete openness.
Ke Bei noticed Xiao Q looking at him strangely.
He quickly coughed a few times: "Of course, when facing danger, we should still try our best to survive. It's not about waiting to die when danger comes."
Xiao Q smiled slightly: "It's really good to know you."
As everyone knows, airplane restrooms aren't very spacious.
Economy class ones are smallest, only accommodating one person - two people would be crowded.
While first class restrooms, though larger than economy class ones.
Only accommodate two or three people.
Therefore, the longer the two stayed.
The more the air between their mouths and noses circulated between them.
Both inexplicably felt that if this atmosphere continued, it would become somewhat awkward.
Just then, someone knocked on the door from outside, finally ending this atmosphere that neither knew how to conclude.
The one knocking was Jiang Ran.
When Jiang Ran saw the restroom door open.
He absolutely didn't expect there to be more than one person inside - there were two people.
What? Are you two using the restroom together???
If Jiang Ran didn't have stomach pains, he would have definitely questioned them properly.
There's only one toilet in this restroom - how did you two use it?!
The two were also somewhat embarrassed. After returning to their seats.
They temporarily decided not to tell Xiao Peng about the matter.
They thought that if something really happened on the island, they would tell him then.
If nothing happened, they would treat it as an ordinary trip.
No need to spoil Xiao Peng's mood.
...
After that, the flight proceeded quite normally, with no more unexpected incidents.
And Jiang Ran also discovered a characteristic of first class flight attendants.
That their service was truly impeccable.
They would come around frequently asking passengers if they needed anything.
To the point that passengers were getting somewhat annoyed.
...
The plane reached its destination in the early morning of the next day, in the darkness of night.
Of course, the destination mentioned here.
Was Wilson Island, one of the large Pacific island groups with an airport.
After Jiang Ran and the other first class passengers arrived at Wilson Island Airport.
They encountered two people there to meet them.
These two people meeting them were specially arranged by Macedonia Island to be responsible for passengers going to Macedonia Island for vacation.
Both people meeting them were quite young, in their twenties or thirties.
Wearing black professional attire.
One male, one female, both white with blond hair and blue eyes.
Both were above average in appearance.
When Jiang Ran saw these two people meeting them.
Looking at the tall signs with Chinese characters they were holding, and knowing their identity.
He felt he was doomed for what came next.
Because he didn't know foreign languages.
He could only follow others around like a headless fly, doing whatever others did.
But to Jiang Ran's great surprise, these two people meeting them could speak Chinese.
And their Chinese was extremely fluent.
If you covered their faces, probably no one would guess that someone with such authentic Chinese would be foreigners.
The two people successfully met Jiang Ran and the others.
Then took them outside the airport and boarded a luxury coach.
Together heading to the pre-arranged hotel.
The hotel was very luxurious.
With a strong Western modern style.
After arriving at the hotel, Jiang Ran and the others each pulled their own suitcases and received their hotel room keys from the people who met them.
Then, they received this notification:
The ship heading to Macedonia Island would depart in three days.
Everyone, please stay at the hotel for these three days. Of course, if you want to explore this current Wilson Island, that's also possible, but please pay attention to the time and don't miss the ship departure in three days.
Otherwise, the next ship would be much later.
After announcing this, the two people who met them left.
As soon as they left.
Su Yang and the others pulled their suitcases, carried their bags, and headed to their hotel rooms one by one.
Jiang Ran also followed behind them, as their rooms were all arranged on the same floor.
Jiang Ran's hotel room was 1509 on the 15th floor.
He swiped his key card, entered the hotel room, inserted the key card into the power card slot below the light switch inside the door - only this way would the room have electricity.
After inserting it, Jiang Ran turned on the light, and immediately the room brightened up.
Jiang Ran could see everything in the hotel room clearly.
He briefly looked around the hotel room.
He was quite satisfied with this hotel room.
Especially the balcony, which was quite spacious, but since it was currently early morning and pitch black outside, he couldn't see what the actual view was like.
And within the entire room, what Jiang Ran was most satisfied with was the bed.
When Jiang Ran lay on this bed, it was neither too soft nor too hard, extremely comfortable.
And very large, allowing him to roll around freely.
While Jiang Ran was continuously rolling around on the bed.
Some people who had the Black Software received a message.
