Chapter 803 - 334: The Shelter and External Reactions

A whole week has passed since the plane crash.

Winslow naturally learned about it first thing.

The event came very suddenly; initially, the signal was lost, and the plane was missing.

The air traffic control system naturally activated the emergency protocol immediately.

Related intelligence was reported to the Civil Aviation Authority.

However, the location of the plane crash was in a remote sea area northeast of the Vava?u islands in the Kingdom of Tonga, beyond the main shipping lanes of the South Pacific.

The search is extremely difficult.

The Malaysian Airlines crash took years to be traced, without success.

And on this private jet, including Li Younan, there were only three people.

Although Li Younan is an immensely influential internet celebrity, comparatively speaking, the number of people is not that high, and for the authorities, it naturally wasn’t a major concern.

Even though, at Winslow’s request, professional aviation rescue teams and even military helicopters and reconnaissance planes were deployed to assist in locating, there was no progress within the 24-hour golden rescue period.

Of course, a very crucial reason was that he himself was not on the plane.

The Civil Aviation Department emphasized this point in its initial statement.

Since it involved business matters, after the Civil Aviation’s news department issued a notice, Winslow also had to command his team to release a statement to confirm the ownership of the plane and explain the identity of the people on board.

A captain and co-pilot went missing, but in fact, most people didn’t care about the captain and co-pilot.

Li Younan was also on the plane.

This is shocking.

Given Li Younan’s current fame, without a doubt, this would be big news.

Fortunately, initially, no one knew that Li Younan was the passenger on the plane.

Winslow’s original idea was to rely on his influence to suppress the public opinion.

He thought about Li Younan’s relatives who would receive this news first, perhaps taking a huge blow.

But even with his influence, he couldn’t control the discourse at this level.

Thus began the first wave of media and public opinion outbreaks.

Mainstream media quickly reported the accident.

The content largely concentrated on the wealthy businessman’s private plane incident, the survival of the owner, and... there was a world-class internet celebrity on board.

How this information got leaked, Winslow was too tired to investigate.

After all, he wasn’t the only one who knew Li Younan was on that searched plane.

Fortunately, the initial information the media received wasn’t very specific.

Who the internet celebrity was, Winslow didn’t immediately disclose.

Citing privacy protection reasons, even though the media was eager to dig in, Winslow initially protected Li Younan’s privacy.

He still didn’t know how to discuss this matter with Li Younan’s team.

Li Younan was invited by him to help him design a weapon.

With such an incident happening, he also felt somewhat sad, but the first thing to do was handle the aftermath properly.

The subsequent matters were somewhat complicated.

A professional investigation was fully launched.

The Civil Aviation Accident Investigation Center led the investigation, adhering to the principle of independent inquiry, unaffected by any entities.

However, so far, the black box hasn’t been found, so the investigation hasn’t made substantive progress.

But he also knew clearly that the information couldn’t be covered up.

Thus, on the second day after the news was released, Winslow still called the emergency contact on Li Younan’s ship.

...

"What, there was a plane crash?"

When the news reached Li Younan’s team, the initial reaction was naturally disbelief, followed by a brief period of chaos.

The first person to receive the call was Huang Xiaoyang.

At the time he received the call, he was spending quiet time with Dan Dan in a corner of a restaurant in Singapore.

Although Liu Li is the closest person to Li Younan and the highest-ranking person on the ship, besides Li Younan, was Qin Yue, Li Younan still designated Huang Xiaoyang as the emergency contact.

Li Younan’s decision made Huang Xiaoyang somewhat satisfied.

Of course, apart from himself, no one else was capable of serving as the emergency contact.

Because if a real emergency occurred, who else on the ship, besides himself, was capable and would weigh all the impacts, considering things as much as possible to handle them the best way?

But when it really required him, the emergency contact, to handle the situation, he realized it was damn not necessarily a good task.

However, despite Huang Xiaoyang’s strong psychological quality, upon learning the news, he also fell into prolonged silence.

The first reaction was... absurd.

How could this happen?

Just a few days ago, that guy was strolling, eating barbecue, drinking beer, and diving in Singapore’s diving spots with him and Dan Dan.

Although he was reluctant in his heart, he had to admit that the guy’s diving skills were truly impressive.

He was like a fish in the water.

Everything was just fine.

How could this happen?

Suddenly there’s a plane crash?

He repeatedly confirmed, trying to find evidence to prove it’s impossible.

However, he was disappointed.

The person on the other end was a wealthy business friend known to Li Younan, who repeatedly apologized and emphasized over the phone, hoping they could endure the sorrow.

"What the hell are you saying?" Huang Xiaoyang immediately got angry.

Winslow paused on the other end, not understanding why the other party suddenly got angry.
