The purser cried bitterly, apologizing to everyone while recounting her woes: "I really didn’t want this. My husband and I have come a long way, it’s been really difficult. I love him so much, and I love our precious son even more. They are the most important people in my life. I need to protect them. Only by completing the mission can I ensure they survive. I’m just an ordinary wife, an ordinary mother, just trying to protect my family. If this situation fell upon any of you here, I believe you would do the same as me."

Her tearful plea was so pitiable that everyone couldn’t bear to criticize her further. It must be said, selling misery worked pretty well, especially when a woman cried and complained.

But Lin Fan mercilessly exposed her: "It’s indeed touching, but unfortunately it’s fake."

What?

The crowd, upon hearing this, looked around confusedly. Fake? What did Lin Fan mean by that?

Earlier, Chen Long and Lin Fan exchanged a glance, both having already understood. They both possessed keen insight, especially Lin Fan, who had top-notch insight. When others lied, he could recognize it at a glance. Although Chen Long wasn’t as capable as Lin Fan, no one in this world could be as brilliant as Lin Fan, who stood alone as the best. Yet, Chen Long was quite capable too, being an expert in micro-expressions and an international criminal investigator. He had discerned the purser’s deceit.

The purser was undeniably shrewd. Her acting skills could put an Oscar-winning actress to shame, and the average person would easily be fooled by her.

"I nearly fell for it myself. I must admit, your lying skills are remarkably advanced." Chen Long chuckled.

The purser cried: "I’m not lying! Why do you say I’m lying? I’m telling the truth. I know I’ve done wrong, and you don’t want to believe me, I understand, but what I’m saying is true. My husband and son, I need to save them. Everything I’ve done is for them."

Lin Fan calmly said: "Why don’t you tell me why you’re so desperate to expose yourself and poison three Death Warriors?"

Chen Long said: "You heard us say we might soon uncover something, and you immediately turned around and poisoned three Death Warriors. Are you trying to cover something up? What are you afraid we might uncover?"

The purser said: "This... this is also part of my mission. If the three Death Warriors failed in hijacking the flight, they must die. I’m just executing my mission. Let’s say, those people have calculated everything meticulously. Their plan is exceedingly precise."

Lin Fan said: "Enough with the excuses. You should be considerate of me. Watching you lie is difficult for me. I’ll give you one more chance, speak the truth. Don’t force me to act. You’ve heard the screams of those two Death Warriors, right? Do you want to experience it yourself?"

The purser shivered upon hearing this. Those screams indeed were dreadful, causing one’s scalp to tingle. She didn’t know what Lin Fan had done to them.

She undoubtedly didn’t want such a terrifying thing to happen to her.

Lin Fan said: "If you’re merely a wife and mother with your family caught by criminals, forced to aid them, those criminals are quite trusting of you, aren’t they? Letting someone inexperienced like you monitor and clean up the mess. Are they fools? Unlike you, Officer Chen is an experienced international criminal investigator. You are only a flight attendant. Even a spy would find this job challenging, let alone a flight attendant like you?"

Chen Long said: "These people are indeed ruthless but they’re not stupid. Everyone selected for this mission isn’t ordinary. I’m a criminal investigator; two of the three Death Warriors are professional assassins, and one is a retired mercenary. And you are merely a flight attendant?"

The purser: "..."

For a moment, she was at a loss for words.

Lin Fan said: "Have you heard that the eyes are the windows to the soul, which means you can see one’s inner thoughts through their eyes? When you describe your deep feelings for your family, your gaze is hollow, devoid of emotion. Such heartfelt, naturally expressed feelings are hard to feign. If I’m correct, you don’t even have a husband and son, or even if you do, your feelings for them aren’t as profound as you claim."

Chen Long heard Lin Fan say this and got a bit angry because he genuinely had a daughter who was kidnapped, while the purser used this as deception, which was his actual pain being used as a fooling tool!

"Stop wasting time and speak the truth!" Chen Long glared at the purser, angrily demanded.

The purser remained silent.

Her face gradually changed, the tears dried up, slowly, she was no longer the pitiable wife and mother, her expression turned cold, in the end, she seemed like a completely different person.

"Haha, damned it, still couldn’t fool you."

The purser coldly smiled.

"I just thought to delay for a bit, to buy some time. Now it’s impossible." The purser said.

Seeing the purser like this, everyone froze. Those moved by the purser’s sad tale now felt like fools, almost sympathizing with a relentless criminal!

Lin Fan said: "Since you’re done pretending, tell us the real situation. As long as you confess honestly, I promise not to hurt you."

The purser said: "What do you want to know?"

Lin Fan said: "About your mission, I want to know everything you know."

The purser said: "I only know limited information. I’m just a pawn, a pawn following orders. I have nothing to tell you, or rather, you won’t likely find anything useful from me."

Lin Fan said: "Is that so? Back to the same question, why were you so hurried to poison those three Death Warriors?"

The purser said: "Because they deserve death. They failed the mission and might reveal something they shouldn’t expose!"

Lin Fan said: "Such as Guangming?"

The purser coldly said: "You already know."

Lin Fan said: "What else?"

The purser said: "This time, Guangming is protecting an important figure. This mission has to succeed without fail!"

Lin Fan said: "Now that they’ve already failed, what are you planning to do?"

The purser said: "They never imagined the hijacking would fail. As you said, those three Death Warriors are all trained professional killers, plus me secretly aiding them. The only threat on the plane was Chen Long and the flight attendants; but these two, I could handle quietly. What they didn’t expect was you being on the plane."

Those people probably never would have dreamed that having Lin Fan on the flight would ruin their perfect plans.

"If you successfully poisoned me, what would you do next?" Lin Fan asked.
