Chapter 337: Flying to Eireng

Nan Yan stood still, her eyebrows furrowing.
Bai Chen had already walked to the door and noticed she wasn’t moving. He asked, “Little Yanyan, what’s wrong?”
Nan Yan replied indifferently, “The flight to Eireng has been canceled, and the rescheduled flight time is uncertain.”
Could it be this coincidental?
Before she had any plans to go to Eireng, the flights were operating normally. But now that she intended to go, they canceled her flight?
The turmoil in Eireng had been ongoing for some time; if they wanted to cancel flights, they could have done it long ago. So, Nan Yan felt it was someone’s deliberate interference.
“What are you going to do then?” Bai Chen asked.
“I’ll change my flight and go to another country, then transfer to a flight to Eireng,” Nan Yan replied.
Bai Chen nodded. It seemed that Little Yanyan had made up her mind to go to Eireng, so he would accompany her on this journey.
After Nan Yan and Bai Chen headed to the airport, news of the situation reached Shen Junqing.
After Tang Cheng reported the situation, he added, “Third Young Master, there’s no way we can intervene in flights to other countries!”
He was afraid that Third Young Master would suddenly ask him to find a way to suspend all flights to Eireng.
Actually, even if all flights were suspended, she could still use a private plane. With her capabilities, using a private plane wouldn’t be an issue.
Clearly, Shen Junqing had also considered this.
“Arrange a plane; I’m also going to Eireng,” Shen Junqing instructed.
“Eireng is in a complicated situation, and Qin Lu’s whereabouts are unknown. I can’t rest easy if you’re going alone, ” Tang Cheng replied.
He was somewhat speechless. He had gone through so much trouble to temporarily suspend all domestic flights to Eireng, only to find out that they would still be going in the end.
All that effort had been in vain.
Eireng.
Nan Yan and Bai Chen left the airport, and it was already 10 PM local time.
As newcomers, they needed to find a hotel first and then investigate Qin Lu’s whereabouts tomorrow.
However, they had tried several hotels, and none had any available rooms. Finally, around midnight, they found a somewhat run-down inn that had a room available.
It appeared quite old, like a building from the last century. Given the special circumstances, it had only one room left.
Nan Yan didn’t hesitate and booked the room. Inside, there was a simple wardrobe for clothes and two single beds spaced about two meters apart.
Fortunately, the room had a private bathroom and a shower, so they didn’t need to use a shared restroom with other guests.
Nan Yan wasn’t picky about her accommodations. As long as there was a bed to sleep on, she was fine. Even if there were no beds, she could sleep on the floor.
As for sharing a room with Bai Chen without any privacy, Nan Yan was calm about it. She trusted Bai Chen completely, and in terms of their relationship, he was like family, so there was no need to feel awkward.
After storing their luggage and taking out the necessary toiletries, Bai Chen said, “The locals here are quite xenophobic and hostile toward outsiders, so, Little Yanyan, you must be careful no matter what you do here.”
“I know,” Nan Yan replied.
She sat on the bed and opened her notebook. The situation in Eireng was more severe than she had expected.
Even in the peaceful zone, she could hear artillery fire, and warplanes frequently passed overhead. The sounds were clear, even with doors and windows tightly closed.
She currently had no leads whatsoever. Eireng’s territory, while not large, was still the size of a medium-sized province in China. Without knowing Qin Lu’s exact location, finding him here was like searching for a needle in a haystack.
Furthermore, Eireng had completely lost its communication network, and even cellphone tracking was no longer effective.
Bai Chen, standing by the bed, felt a bit uneasy but managed to suppress his cleanliness obsession. He sat down on the bed, seeing Nan Yan continually typing on her notebook.
“What are you doing?” he asked.
Nan Yan replied calmly, “I’m trying to infiltrate Eireng’s communication satellite to see if I can use it to contact Qin Lu.”
Bai Chen was momentarily surprised and couldn’t help but praise her, “You’re still quick on your feet…”
He hadn’t even thought of this method.
With the ground communication tower destroyed, most of Eireng’s communication devices were in a state of paralysis. Regular phone lines, wireless networks, and Ethernet connections had all ceased to function, rendering phones useless.
But there was still one line that had a signal: the JUN network. By hacking into the JUN network’s communication satellite, they could continue to use these devices in this situation.
“It’s getting late; you should get some rest,” Nan Yan suggested.
“Forget it, I’d rather sit here. Just being able to sit on this bed is good enough for me. I absolutely won’t lie down on it!” Bai Chen stubbornly maintained his position.
“Suit yourself, just don’t disturb me,” Nan Yan replied, continuing to accelerate her efforts to breach the communication satellite’s firewall.
In a building located in the conflict zone:
Qin Lu’s black eyes exuded an icy coldness. He had been trapped here for several days, and his patience had worn thin.
He gazed grimly at the flickering red dots in the sky and said coldly, “Wu Yue, go tell Caesar that I must return to China tomorrow.”
Wu Yue sensed the pent-up anger in his young master and lowered his head as he softly replied, “Young Master, I think it might not be possible…”
He didn’t know which bastard had spread the rumor that the Qin family openly supported Caesar’s power grab, claiming that they would appear at Caesar’s mansion. As a result, when the turmoil erupted, they became the most closely watched individuals.
Outside the building, nearly fifty snipers lay in ambush. If they left the room, they would likely be turned into Swiss cheese in an instant.
In a way, he and his young master were being indirectly detained here.
Caesar, the instigator, was still swaggering outside. Except for the steward of this place, no one else could contact him.
However, considering Caesar’s current attitude, Wu Yue had ample reason to suspect that he had orchestrated this himself, deliberately using the young master’s name to incite the rebellion!
Qin Lu’s aura grew even more terrifying, causing Wu Yue to lower his head to the ground.
Inwardly, he couldn’t help but curse. He wasn’t Caesar, so could the young master please not release his stress on him!
The pressure on him is really too great!
After a moment, Qin Lu calmly said, “Then have him send me a phone that can be used to contact the outside world.”
Wu Yue breathed a sigh of relief and quickly said, “I’ll go negotiate with the steward right away!”
Glancing discreetly at his young master’s cold and lonely figure, Wu Yue left Qin Lu’s room.
Later, he found Neo, the steward, on the first floor and conveyed Qin Lu’s request.
“Steward Neo, my young master wants you to find a way to get him a phone that can be used to contact the outside world.”
“Mr. Wu, it’s not that we don’t want to provide one for Mr. Qin, but I’m truly powerless!” Steward Neo, speaking fluent Chinese, sounded quite helpless. “Let me be frank with you, the estate is completely cut off from the outside world right now….”
