Returning to the mountain village, starting with mushroom picking to get rich

"What happened?"

"What's going on? You messed up at the crucial moment."

In the airport corridor, the gang leader saw one of his companions suddenly collapse from poisoning, and he grumbled inwardly.

They were just beginning to consider how their group should handle the situation that was about to unfold.

Suddenly, the gang leader felt something was wrong with his stomach, as if he had eaten something bad.

Soon, this feeling grew stronger and stronger; my stomach churned violently, as if being stabbed with knives.

It gives people absolutely no chance to breathe.

He tried to overcome the discomfort with his willpower, his face contorted with rage, his teeth clenched tightly.

As a result, his head became foggy and he couldn't muster any energy.

Thump, thump, thump.

Before long, the other three thugs, including the gang leader, also curled up on the ground, their bodies twitching and trembling slightly.

Having learned from the first person's mistake, Yang Lin was a little more cautious this time.

Compared to the burly man who first threatened him, the poisoning doses and symptoms of the later individuals were significantly milder.

Even so, it was enough to temporarily disable their fighting ability.

……

Even after all the criminals had collapsed to the ground, foaming at the mouth and convulsing for a while due to the toxins from the fly mushroom, the airport security personnel were still somewhat dazed.

They really couldn't figure out what kind of act the group of thugs were putting on or what kind of scheme they were using.

Just a second ago, they were a group of burly men who were full of energy and looked fierce.

How did it change so quickly?

"Captain Zhang, it seems they've all really been poisoned!"

"After a thorough inspection," a security guard said.

"This is bizarre...it's really bizarre."

The security captain muttered to himself and quickly organized his men to restore order.

With the thugs gone, order was quickly restored at the airport.

Police officers and chemical defense teams who were sent to the rear also arrived at the scene. After rushing the criminals to the hospital, they cordoned off the area.

Kill all the fruit flies that appear in the surrounding area.

They then took Yang Lin and other affected passengers to a separate area for temporary isolation.

They inquired about the situation from the crowd to learn more details, and provided psychological comfort and guidance to passengers like Yang Lin who had been kidnapped by the criminals.

……

"I'm sorry to have taken up everyone's time."

Two and a half hours later, airport staff brought several senior doctors in white coats with Mediterranean-style haircuts to where everyone was.

"Everyone can go back now without worry."

"Our laboratory analysis shows that the pathogens carried by those fruit flies are only pathogens that affect fruit trees and will not have any impact on human health."

"We deeply regret what you all experienced today, and the airport is willing to provide some compensation..."

"Everyone can leave now without worry."

"What? If it doesn't affect people, why did the thug suddenly fall ill?"

"Well... it's kind of funny."

"We found some digested fungal residue in the perpetrators' vomit and excrement, and detected alkaloid toxins in it."

"It is inferred that they had previously eaten poisonous mushrooms, and the poisoning reaction just happened to occur at this time."

Upon hearing that the reason the criminals had failed and embarrassed themselves in the operation was because they had accidentally eaten poisonous mushrooms, many of the Nanzhao passengers around them burst into laughter.

Upon learning that contact with fruit flies would not result in contracting the disease, everyone wore expressions of relief, as if they had escaped a close call.

Apart from the gang of criminals and a few passengers who were trampled and injured in the chaos, there were no other casualties at the airport.

It can be described as a stroke of luck amidst misfortune.

……

As soon as Yang Lin came out of the airport's security exit, he looked up and saw Su Rong and several company employees rushing towards him.

"Boss, you're finally out!"

"It's on the news! It scared us to death!" Su Rong exclaimed in surprise.

As soon as they arrived in Kunming, they saw news reports about criminals at the airport, and Yang Lin was even seen in the photos. This really frightened them.

If anything were to happen to Yang Lin, where would they find a boss who's so generous with money in the future?

Although they maintained telephone contact with Yang Lin after the assailant was subdued.

However, they couldn't shake their worries until Yang Lin walked out of the airport and returned to them.

"Alright, alright, it's all right now..." Yang Lin waved to everyone in the company and then asked Su Rong and the others about the company's preparations.

"Everything is ready! All that's missing is you, Mr. Lin," Su Rong said confidently.

The chaos at the airport came and went quickly.

Apart from Yang Lin and other close contacts being briefly detained, this small-scale disturbance was not enough to affect the operation of the airport.

During the two and a half hours that Yang Lin was waiting to come out, the company employees had already completed all the necessary procedures for him.

After the plane landed, I also made arrangements with the hotel in Rome and the local guide.

The flight to Italy will depart on time in one hour.

"Okay, I understand."

Yang Lin nodded in agreement, took the plane ticket from Su Rong, and boarded the plane with the company members.

"Those involved are often confused, while bystanders see things clearly."

"Manager Su, since you're outsiders, could you tell me about those thugs?"

While waiting for his flight, Yang Lin asked curiously.

"The report says they were henchmen of a foreign force..."

"That's right, it's foreign forces." Before Su Rong could finish speaking, the airport security captain suddenly walked up to Yang Lin.

They then explained to Yang Lin in detail what they had discovered after their investigation.

"A group of foreign organizations is using new methods of biological invasion to systematically release various highly destructive invasive species into other countries, thereby causing major ecological disasters."

"As for those people who appeared at the airport, they were in debt to loan sharks and were coerced and lured by foreign powers to bring fruit flies into the country on a whim..."

"Their methods and smuggling techniques were very crude, and their response after being discovered was also very amateurish."

"But there are countless people like this every year..."

"I see... Why did Captain Zhang tell me so much?" Yang Lin asked, somewhat puzzled.

"According to our investigation, although those people came from Southeast Asia, the foreign forces that are funding them are very likely from Italy," Zhang said.

"I learned from the airport that Mr. Yang has booked a flight to Italy. Do you have any compelling reason to go to Italy?..."

"No way, Captain Zhang, you suspect me?" Hearing the other party's words, Yang Lin, who felt a little guilty, was speechless.

"What are you thinking? I just wanted to suggest you stay in the country and lay low for a while. If I really suspected you, I would have taken you into custody long ago," Captain Zhang explained.

Yang Lin had close contact with that group of thugs. After analyzing the situation, they worried that the foreign forces behind them might take their anger out on Yang Lin because the operation had failed.
