The two cars carrying Ye Chen and Lin Wan’er entered Jin Ling Airport without going through security or customs, and without leaving any official records.
At the farthest remote parking stand on the airport, a Boeing 747 stood quietly in the darkness.
Although this Boeing 747 was registered as a passenger plane, the upper deck was not designed as a cargo hold. Instead, it featured a high-standard cabin reserved specifically for twenty passengers.
For this flight, no cabin crew was assigned. Apart from two sets of pilots, all cabin service staff were royal family butlers and attendants. The pilots did not even have the chance to see the passengers on this flight they were crewing.
The cockpit had been sealed tight with opaque blackout curtains from the inside, with royal staff supervising. All crew members had to remain in the cockpit, not allowed to leave or look out.
Ye Chen and Lin Wan’er’s cars arrived one after the other. After he got out of the passenger seat, Yun Ru’ge and Song Ru’yu stepped out from the back seat.
Immediately after, Lin Wan’er’s car arrived.
Qiu Ying Shan and his wife had accompanied Lin Wan’er to the airport. As soon as they got out, they respectfully followed behind her to Ye Chen.
Seeing Lin Wan’er again, Yun Ru’ge bowed respectfully and said: We meet again, Miss Lin.
Lin Wan’er smiled slightly and returned the bow. She then looked at Song Ru’yu beside her and said with a smile: This must be Miss Song?
Song Ru’yu stared at Lin Wan’er, completely stunned for a moment.
Her family had originally been an affiliate of the Wu family, so she knew some high-level secrets of the Po Qing Society. From childhood, she had known that the Po Qing Society had searched for a girl named Lin Wan’er for several hundred years without success. This Lin Wan’er felt like a legend, resounding in her ears, making her assume it would be an extraordinary and remarkable woman.
Yet she had never imagined that upon truly meeting Lin Wan’er, the other party would be such a young girl, who even seemed not yet of age. Her stunning face carried a full innocence, looking just like a little girl.
She suppressed the shock in her heart and said respectfully: Miss Lin… oh no, Senior Lin, hello… I have long heard of your great name. Today, I finally have the chance to behold your true appearance…
Lin Wan’er covered her mouth with a smile and said: Miss Song, no need to be so formal. Just call me Xiao Wan.
The royal butler recognised Ye Chen. At first, seeing three women of strikingly different styles and stunning beauty beside him, he had speculated about Ye Chen’s relationship with them. But no matter how he looked, he could not discern anything. So after the group exchanged greetings, he stepped forward and said respectfully: Mr Ye, good day. Her Majesty the Queen has sent me to Northern Europe to receive you and your three honoured guests. Today, all cabin service staff are composed entirely of royal family personnel. We will fly direct from Jin Ling to Ao Su City. Upon arrival in Ao Su City, a motorcade will escort you four straight to the polar region. Her Majesty the Queen will await your arrival at the holiday villa in the polar region at that time.
Ye Chen asked curiously: Has Helena already gone to the polar region? Is she not busy lately?
The butler said respectfully: In response to Mr Ye, Her Majesty the Queen happens to need a period of rest as well. Since you and your companions are heading to the polar region, her intention is that if you do not mind, she can serve as your guide.
Ye Chen was somewhat surprised. He had not expected Helena to go to the polar region too.
However, Ye Chen did not mind much. After all, Helena had witnessed his methods at Ye Ling Mountain early on. He had few secrets in front of her. Since she wished to stay in the polar region, so be it. After all, she was the true host.
Thus, he smiled at the butler and said: Then this journey will trouble all of you.
The butler said humbly: Mr Ye, you are too polite. This is what we should do. Time is about right. Shall we board now?
Ye Chen nodded. He greeted Qiu Ying Shan and his wife farewell, waved to Hong Wu, then said to the butler: Let us go.
