Legendary Captain

Chapter 240 Miraculous, but nothing more.

"Miss, I've already spoken with Dean Chen, and his suggestion is also to go abroad for treatment," Yang Ning reported softly to Wen Jingshu.

At this moment, Wen Jingshu's gaze was fixed on Xu Xian, who was sitting not far away, and it was unclear whether she was even listening to Yang Ning.

"Miss?" Yang Ning sighed softly, noticing Wen Jingshu's absent-minded expression, and called out again, "Miss?"

Wen Jingshu trembled slightly, like a frightened kitten. Coming to her senses, she said apologetically, "Aunt Ning, what did you just say?"

Yang Ning gave Wen Jingshu a deep look. At this moment, Wen Jingshu seemed to have no room for anyone else in her eyes. However, this was Wen Jingshu's own choice, and Yang Ning could not interfere.

"Dr. Chen said that if you want to get the best ophthalmological treatment, he recommends going abroad. If you agree, he can contact hospitals abroad on your behalf."

Wen Jingshu glanced at Xu Xian out of the corner of her eye, as if afraid he would disappear, before replying to Yang Ning: "Dean Chen said so too, then that should be the situation. Aunt Ning, could you ask Dean Chen to contact hospitals abroad? Also, find two trustworthy people beforehand, preferably women, so they can accompany Lian Shanxue if she needs to go abroad for treatment, and also take care of her."

This Dean Chen is the president of Renxin General Hospital, and he's quite famous in the domestic medical community, so his words are highly credible. Dean Chen's suggestion to seek treatment abroad basically confirms that the level of ophthalmology in China is indeed inadequate, which aligns with the doctor's opinion earlier.

If that's the case, then going abroad for treatment is inevitable.

It can only be said that Wen Jingshu is very thoughtful. After all, it is quite inconvenient for Lian Shanxue to go out for treatment in a foreign country. It would be much better if someone could help take care of her.

"Miss, don't worry, I'll arrange it all." Yang Ning is an expert at these things. As long as Lian Shanxue is willing to go abroad for treatment, she will definitely be able to arrange everything perfectly.

"Hmm!" Wen Jingshu responded softly, then glanced at Xu Xian and lowered her voice, saying, "Aunt Ning, could you please step aside for a moment?"

Yang Ning paused for a moment, then seemed to understand what Wen Jingshu wanted to do. She glanced around and finally said, "Then I'll go to the stairwell. Miss, call me if you need anything."

Wen Jingshu nodded, and after Yang Ning left, she got up and walked towards Xu Xian with some trepidation.

Perhaps he had truly lost his mind, for Xu Xian did not notice Wen Jingshu approaching at all.

At this moment, Xu Xian lowered his head, and Wen Jingshu could only squat down to look at Xu Xian's face from below.

"Xu Xian." Wen Jingshu called out softly, but Xu Xian did not react at all. In his eyes, there was no light left.

The person who used to exude a lively spirit is now like a walking corpse.

Wen Jingshu felt a pang of pain in her heart and reached out to hug Xu Xian. She didn't care about the clothes stained with toxic substances; she only wanted to give warmth to the person she loved.

Just as Wen Jingshu reached out her hand, Xu Xian's previously stiff body suddenly moved. He grabbed Wen Jingshu's right wrist with his left hand, raised his head slightly, looked directly at Wen Jingshu, and said coldly, "Don't touch me!"

"Xu Xian." Wen Jingshu slowly stood up, and Xu Xian's gaze followed her as she gradually rose. By the time Wen Jingshu was fully standing, her eyes were already brimming with tears: "Are you really going to do this to me?"

Xu Xian released his left hand, gradually withdrawing his gaze from Wen Jingshu, but remained silent.

Wen Jingshu stood before Xu Xian, her eyes red-rimmed: "Since you're going to treat me like this, why did you agree to the engagement in the first place? Why did you come to see me that night?"

Although Xu Xian and Wen Jingshu's engagement party was ultimately canceled for some reason, the decision to get engaged was made with Xu Xian's approval. The reason they didn't get engaged in the end was probably more due to external factors, at least that's what Wen Jingshu always thought.

Years ago, Wen Jingshu and Xu Xian first met at a gathering of prominent entrepreneurs. Wen Jingshu went with Wen Mingyuan, while Xu Xian went with Xu Jingyang. The adults chatted together, while their children gathered in another area.

That day, Wen Jingshu saw for the first time in her life a person with such spirit and vitality. It was as if all the spiritual energy in the world had gathered in one person. No matter where he went, he was dazzling.

Xu Xian was once free from any constraints in his life, freely displaying his dynamism to the outside world. His existence seemed to be about showing the world what true talent and beauty are, and even the brightest stars could only be seen in Xu Xian's eyes.

The moment Wen Jingshu saw Xu Xian, she knew she would never be able to look at another man again in her life!

That very night, as if by fate, Xu Xian, who had never shown much interest in the opposite sex, inexplicably became interested in Wen Jingshu and took the initiative to strike up a conversation with her.

Wen Jingshu, who had already fallen in love with Xu Xian at first sight, devoted her entire heart to him after getting to know him better.

After that, the two began to contact each other more frequently until they eventually confirmed their relationship.

That night, if Xu Xian hadn't taken the initiative to chat with Wen Jingshu, perhaps Wen Jingshu would have only been amazed by Xu Xian's temperament and appearance, and remembered him deeply. But anything more would have been impossible. Because Wen Jingshu wasn't the type of girl to take the initiative; even if she seemed to like someone terribly, she would still act quite reserved.

However, it was different when Xu Xian took the initiative to approach her. The two had mutual feelings for each other, and their relationship naturally followed.

Therefore, if Xu Xian had remained aloof and indifferent to women as before, he and Wen Jingshu might have missed each other.

Now that Xu Xian is like this, Wen Jingshu wishes he had never come looking for her in the first place, so she wouldn't be so heartbroken.

"Xu Xian, I've never wronged you. Why are you treating me like this? What right do you have to treat me like this?"

Xu Xian's eyes reflected Wen Jingshu's tear-streaked face. In her entire life, apart from the day she canceled her engagement, she had never cried so sadly.

"You didn't do anything wrong to me, but your Wen family did!" Xu Xian's gaze hardened, became resolute, and turned furious!

Xu Xian took a deep breath: "I really shouldn't have contacted you that night!"

Upon hearing this, Wen Jingshu felt as if she had been struck by lightning, and she almost lost her balance. She said in disbelief, "Xu Xian, you know that matter has nothing to do with me."

Prior to this, both Xu Xian and Wen Jingshu had roughly guessed that Wen Mingyuan had betrayed the Xu family years ago, leading to the Xu family's bankruptcy. However, they both tacitly avoided mentioning it. Wen Jingshu never expected that at this time and place, Xu Xian would break their unspoken understanding.

What terrified Wen Jingshu even more was that Xu Xian actually thought it was a mistake to go to see her that night!

"If we hadn't met, perhaps we could have continued living our lives as before," Xu Xian said with a touch of melancholy.

Everyone who knows Xu Xian knows that someone as talented as him could not possibly enjoy flying, a job that involves a lot of repetitive labor.

Xu Xian initially applied for a job at Xingyou Aviation because his family was struggling to make ends meet. Later, when his family's finances improved, he still had to continue working to fulfill the expectations of his mentors, Qin Zongyang and Xu Qing.

If Xu Xian hadn't met Wen Jingshu, Wen Mingyuan wouldn't have been able to use his future in-law status to extract secret information about Xu Jingyang's business dealings, thus stabbing the Xu family in the back.

Xu Jingyang will not become despondent and give up on himself because of his family's bankruptcy, which would worsen his condition.

He didn't need to be a civil aviation pilot, let alone encounter Lian Shanxue, which led to Lian Shanxue's tragic end.

Xu Xian's words nearly shattered Wen Jingshu's world of beliefs, causing her voice to tremble: "You really think so?"

"When Lian Shan entered the cockpit to take over from me, air traffic control told me that keeping my eyes open for an extended period in a toluene diisocyanate environment could potentially cause permanent blindness. I was terrified! I didn't even argue much before acquiescing to Lian Shan taking over the controls. I should have been the one who went blind, but in the end, she bore the brunt of it all." A hint of desolation flashed in Xu Xian's bloodshot eyes: "Someone like me doesn't deserve Lian Shan's sacrifice, nor does he deserve yours!"

In fact, after air traffic control informed them that prolonged eye exposure in a toluene diisocyanate environment could potentially lead to permanent blindness, Xu Xian's resolve to prevent Lian Shanxue from taking over aircraft control softened. The reason? Simply put, fear was at play!

Xu Xian was afraid of losing his sight; he felt that if he could never see anything again, it would be worse than death. Because of this fear, Xu Xian didn't show much resistance and simply went along with it, acquiescing to Lian Shanxue taking over the controls of the plane.

That's right, Lian Shanxue said she didn't have the ability to land a single shot, and only if Xu Xian preserved his strength could they have a chance to survive. But even if this objective reason existed, Xu Xian couldn't deceive himself with it. He was indeed afraid at the time, and it lingered in his mind like a demon.

On the plane, after hearing air traffic control mention the possibility of permanent blindness, Lian Shanxue still insisted on piloting the aircraft. Xu Xian asked her if she wasn't afraid.

At the time, Lian Shanxue said, "Because I'm willing, I'm not afraid!"

These words lingered in Xu Xian's mind like a ghost, impossible to shake off.

Every moment was agonizing for Xu Xian, tormented by self-reproach and guilt. He didn't know how to escape these emotions. After countless failed attempts to banish these negative feelings, Xu Xian couldn't help but think that if he hadn't met Wen Jingshu, he might still be that carefree rich second-generation playboy. He wouldn't have to bear the burden of expectations, nor would he have to endure the torment of his conscience.

Xu Xian had certainly entered a dead end in his thinking, but as long as he didn't figure it out, he would only be stuck in this dead end.

Wen Jingshu couldn't believe her ears. She had originally thought that Lian Shanxue's actions had left a deep mark on Xu Xian's heart, causing Xu Xian to become estranged from her. But now it seemed that the situation was much more complicated.

"I've already contacted hospitals abroad. If she's willing, I can send her abroad for treatment anytime. Maybe there'll be a chance?" Wen Jingshu said anxiously.

She didn't know Xu Xian's current mental state, only that it was extremely abnormal. In such a chaotic situation, the key to unlocking everything was still healing Lian Shanxue's eyes.

If Lian Shanxue's eyes can be cured and everything restored to normal, Xu Xian might be able to recover from this experience.

However, Wen Jingshu's words did not cause Xu Xian any ripples.

Kunlong Aviation Headquarters, Flight Department General Manager's Office.

"Instructor, this is the grounding video of Star Travel 6333!" The general manager of Kunlong Airlines' flight department was extremely respectful in front of Han Qi, not daring to even breathe loudly.

Han nodded, his gaze falling on the computer screen, which displayed a video of Xu Xian landing the plane.

The video was very short, less than ten seconds long. But even with Han Qi's experience, watching this short video still made him feel terrified.

"Are you sure the crew couldn't see outside at the time?" Han Qi asked.

The Flight Department General Manager immediately replied, "According to Chengdu Air Traffic Control, the cause of the emergency involving Xingyou 6333 was a leak of the hazardous materials it was transporting. It seems the shipper concealed the contents, replacing a large amount of toluene diisocyanate. The gas released from this substance is extremely irritating to the eyes; even a small amount will cause severe pain. The crew, in order to operate the aircraft, certainly cannot keep their eyes closed for extended periods, and thus will inevitably be affected by the toluene diisocyanate gas, making it normal that they cannot see outside. Furthermore, I heard that Xingyou 6333 used a microwave landing system for its diversion to Xianchi Airport, but it seems there was a problem with the aircraft's receiver, resulting in a very unstable signal. The crew immediately requested that all lights except the runway centerline lights and runway end lights be turned off to prevent interference. Therefore, it seems that even if the crew could see the outside situation, it would be very unclear."

The fact that they had to turn off other lights to highlight the runway centerline lights and runway end lights shows how poor the crew's visual ability was at the time.

After the description from the general manager of the flight department, Han Qi roughly understood the predicament faced by the Xingyou 6333 crew at the time. If even seeing the lights was so difficult, then they probably couldn't even see the runway surface clearly; the rumors seemed to be true!

The crew of Xingyou 6333 completed a near-miraculous low-altitude, level-off landing maneuver of about five feet using only their sense of touch. The video quickly spread to major airlines, including Kunlong Airlines.

"Incredible! It's truly amazing!" Han Qi exclaimed.

The general manager of the flight department frowned: "Instructor, is he really that good?"

Han Qi glanced at the general manager of the flight department with extreme disgust. How could such a piece of trash sit in the top position of the flight department? It was clear that Kunlong Aviation was rotten to the core.

Too lazy to waste words on such ignorant people, Han Qi ordered, "Arrange a local flight for me tomorrow."

"Flying to the main airport? Whose main airport?" The general manager of the flight department was taken aback.

"I want to fly!" Han Qi paused for a moment, "And the people who will be assisting me must be at least Class B instructors. You can arrange that later. Oh, and the aircraft must be an 800, don't assign me a 700 model."

The general manager of the flight department couldn't understand why Han Qi suddenly wanted to fly to the local airport, but he still agreed.
