The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family novel Chapter 6187

The Department of Homeland Security received a crucial tip early in the morning.

An agent affiliated with the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) had reported to the National Security Agency (NSA) that someone was carrying highly classified information related to defense chips on a business jet that had taken off from New York a few hours ago and was heading to Oskia.

The NSA received numerous similar reports daily through various channels, but the investigation had shown that the vast majority were unfounded, and some were even pranks.

However, this tip came from an agent in a sister agency, which significantly increased its credibility.

They were all agents who understood the seriousness of the national defense work, which directly affected their jobs and corresponding legal responsibilities. No one would joke about such matters.

Just as the NSA was discussing countermeasures, they received another shocking piece of news. The DIA agent who had provided the tip had fallen to his death!

Although it was currently impossible to determine whether the agent's death was a suicide or homicide, based on the circumstances he had just reported, everyone at the Department of Homeland Security felt a sense of unease and instinctively believed that there must be a conspiracy involved.

Therefore, they promptly organized an emergency meeting and formulated a contingency plan.

First, the target aircraft would be ordered to turn back and return.

Secondly, given the events of 9/11 over twenty years ago, to prevent any irrational actions from the other party, they could not be allowed to return directly to the prosperous metropolis of New York. Therefore, the security agency identified a small airport in northern Vermont, near the U.S.-Canada border, and instructed the aircraft to land at the designated airport.

For such a long distance, the charter fee alone would cost around thirty hundred thousand dollars, but at this moment, there was not a single passenger in the cabin except for the crew members.

The city of Burlington was only 60 kilometers from the U.S.-Canada border, and the small airport to its north was less than 20 kilometers from the border.

This airport had been gradually abandoned by the commercial aviation system in recent years and was currently used mainly by American civilian flying clubs.

Since the air traffic control did not explain over the radio why the flight had to turn back unexpectedly and land at an airport that had almost been abandoned by the commercial aviation system, the captain inquired about the reasons for the return order.

However, air traffic control only informed them that the return order had been issued by U.S. air traffic control and that they were not privy to the details. They stressed that the crew must comply with the directive to return. Otherwise, the crew members could face arrest for refusing to obey air traffic control.
