Chapter 692: The Gap
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“Hello, a member of your staff said he would collect my luggage for me, so I gave him my claim ticket. However, it’s been a while, and my luggage has not yet been delivered. May I ask what’s going on?”
Luo Feng approached the service desk to inquire. The staff there looked somewhat puzzled:
“Apologies, sir. We do not offer a luggage collection service. Are you sure the person you spoke to is an employee of our airport?”
Hearing this, Luo Feng instantly understood. It appeared he had been duped.
Indeed, the meme of Florida Man wasn’t merely a joke; it was a true reflection of the city. At least, that was how Luo Feng saw it.
Although there was nothing particularly crucial in Luo Feng’s luggage, the black card given to him by Charlie was in there.
If that card were lost, he wouldn’t even be able to attend the auction.
Feeling increasingly agitated, Luo Feng sought the airport’s assistance.
The airport staff seemed unfazed by such incidents; they promptly began reviewing the security footage and quickly identified a suspicious individual.
The staff immediately set out to apprehend the suspect, but the man was elusive. Despite chasing him for over twenty minutes, they were unable to catch him. Luo Feng was growing impatient with their inefficiency.
“If your security is at this level, it would not surprise me if any malicious incidents occurred here,” Luo Feng expressed his dissatisfaction, to which the staff could only apologize repeatedly.
“We are truly sorry for the oversight, sir. We will not ignore this. If you are willing, we can compensate you for your luggage first, and once the individual is caught, we will return your belongings to you. What do you think?”
The compensation proposal was certainly reasonable, but for Luo Feng, that was not the point; the black card was.
“Some items in my luggage are irreplaceable, and I don’t need your compensation. Right now, all I need is to retrieve my belongings.”
Luo Feng’s tone was resolute, leaving the front desk staff somewhat helpless.
Understanding that the person at the front desk was merely an employee, Luo Feng spoke again.
“Where did that guy run off to? Give me his location, and I’ll find him myself.” Hearing this, the staff hesitated, torn between adhering to regulations and fearing a complaint from Luo Feng.
“Sorry, sir, I need to consult my manager before I can give you an answer.” The staff then called the manager, who fortunately did not refuse.
“Sir, please put on this headset. We will provide real-time updates on the individual’s location through it.”
Luo Feng put on the headset, which promptly relayed the suspect’s whereabouts, allowing him to lock onto the direction easily.
In fact, when Luo Feng gave chase, he left the airport security far behind.
The security personnel, stunned by Luo Feng’s agility, were left dumbfounded. “Who is this guy? Is he here to apply for a security job and take ours?”
“I don’t think so. His skills are more like a special forces operative. Could it be that some big shot has come here?”
“Stop talking and chase him! If he gets away, we’re all done for!”
While the security personnel were debating, Luo Feng had already caught up with the thief, who was equally surprised. He had committed many crimes in this airport, and although people had chased him, none had ever managed to catch up.
“Give my belongings back to me,” Luo Feng said, standing in front of the thief, who had no intention of cooperating.
“Man, your bag is so small; what could possibly be valuable in it? Is it worth running after me like this?”
“Besides, according to airport rules, once you report the situation, you’ll be compensated based on the total value of the contents. Why be so persistent?”
It seemed the thief was a habitual offender, facing little to no punishment for his actions, making him brazen.
“Others are others; I am me. Right now, I need you to return my belongings.
You just need to say ‘yes’ or ‘no.”‘
Luo Feng’s almost commanding tone seemed to ignite a spark in the thief.
“Since you put it that way, my answer is definitely ‘no.’ But I really want to see how much better you are than those security guys, daring to chase me all by yourself..”
