Chapter 377: 【377】Do you believe him like that?_1
Tang Feng’s statement set a very tense atmosphere at the scene.
Especially Yang Dongxu, who widened his eyes like a bull and fixed his gaze on him.
He had been a sharpshooter in the special forces.
Even after transferring to a civilian role, his abilities still stood out in the police force.
He hadn’t expected some brat who appeared out of nowhere to dare to say in his face, “If you can do it, why can’t I?”
If those words had come from a member of the security team, he might have taken them seriously.
After all, anyone who could join the security team must have something exceptional about them.
But a “concerned member of the public” daring to speak such big words?
He felt both amused and annoyed, “Really? Since you talk so big, then let me see for myself just how capable you are.”
As he spoke, he got ready to take a stance and have a go at Tang Feng.
Before Tang Feng could respond, Lu Keke hurriedly stepped forward to defuse the tension, “Mr. Yang, he’s not good with words, please don’t take it personally.”
Although Yang Dongxu was seething, he couldn’t disregard Lu Keke’s face and could only snort coldly, putting his fighting stance away, “I can’t stand those who boast arrogantly but turn into cowards once they face a real fight.”
Tang Feng nodded in agreement, “Same here.”
As Yang Dongxu looked poised for a prickly confrontation, Lu Keke quickly interjected, “Mr. Yang, why don’t you discuss the specifics of this anti-pickpocket operation instead?”
Yang Dongxu gave Tang Feng a glare before turning to Lu Keke, “Actually, we don’t have any specific arrangements. As we’ve intensified our crackdown over the past few years, these thieves have become craftier. Even in plain clothes, they can easily identify us…”
“Yeah, with this aura of righteousness you all have, which thief wouldn’t just walk around you?” At this point, Tang Feng couldn’t help but throw in a comment.
Although Yang Dongxu didn’t think much of Tang Feng, he couldn’t deny this statement.
Those who had served longer in the armed forces or the Public Affairs Hall naturally had a unique aura about them.
Perhaps ordinary people might not notice, but it’s hard to escape the eyes of those seasoned thieves.
Even dressed in plain clothes, they could be spotted at a glance.
This indeed made their arresting job rather difficult.
“This is indeed a problem that has been troubling our operation, and with so many people at today’s event, it’s even harder to spot those thieves in disguise. So far, we’ve come up empty-handed.”
Yang Dongxu didn’t hide anything and laid out all the challenges they were facing.
Lu Keke already had an idea and immediately smiled, “If that’s the case, then let him give it a try. Maybe he’ll produce some unexpected results?”
Yang Dongxu looked back at Tang Feng, “Do you really trust him that much?”
Lu Keke covered her mouth and chuckled, “Mr. Yang, don’t judge by his unreliable appearance…”
“What kind of thing is that to say?” Tang Feng couldn’t hold back from interrupting, obviously not liking the remark.
Lu Keke glared at him, then continued to address Yang Dongxu, “But his ability to catch thieves is quite strong, you might let him have a go.”
Yang Dongxu frowned.
To be honest, he didn’t have a good impression of Tang Feng, finding him too frivolous, too arrogant.
Deep down, he certainly didn’t feel comfortable entrusting such an important task to him.
But Lu Keke seemed to think highly of the man, which baffled him.
Lu Keke was an elite of the security team, and they had interacted a few times recently due to work.
He could feel that despite being a woman, she was quite capable.
So, her words were something he couldn’t ignore.
After hesitating for a moment, he finally nodded, “If the team leader says so, then let him try. Should I assign someone to protect him?”
This time, without waiting for Lu Keke to speak, Tang Feng laughed and intervened, “Who ever heard of catching thieves with protection? Mr. Yang, aren’t you underestimating me a little too much?”
Yang Dongxu huffed softly, “Don’t underestimate those thieves; they can be very vicious when it gets down to it. Being complacent can lead to big losses.”
“Thanks for the heads-up, Mr. Yang. Can I go catch the thieves now?”
Tang Feng appeared nonchalant, which only irritated Yang Dongxu further, although he said nothing more.
However, Lu Keke added, “Mind your measures.”
She knew Tang Feng was no slouch, and she feared he might not control his strength, turning the thieves into serious casualties.
They were only petty thieves after all: a little punishment would suffice. Causing serious harm would get him in trouble as well.
“Don’t worry, I know my limits.”
Tang Feng tossed a confident smile and then headed towards the event site with Xu Xinling.
“This kid really thinks catching thieves is easy? I’d like to see where all this confidence comes from,” Yang Dongxu muttered as he watched Tang Feng’s retreating figure, shaking his head with a smile while he pulled out a pack of Hongtashan cigarettes and lit one in his mouth.
Lu Keke pursed her lips, no longer offering explanations.
…
Tang Feng and his companion quickly returned to the event site.
In just a short while, the place had become even more bustling.
More stall owners had arrived and more people had come to browse.
Estimating the crowd, the number could have been over a thousand.
“With so many people, where do we start catching thieves?”
Xu Xinling initially found the challenge thrilling, but upon seeing the throng, she suddenly felt overwhelmed.
Finding a thief among so many people was like searching for a needle in a haystack.
“Watch me,” Tang Feng pinched his fingers leisurely, looking for all the world like a half-baked psychic.
In reality, he had covertly activated his scanning system.
Xu Xinling thought he had some special method but rolling her eyes when he started to make calculations, “Stop messing about. If you can divine where a thief is, I’ll eat my hat.” @@novelbin@@
Tang Feng retracted his hands and looked at her with a half-smile, “Remember what you said.”
Then, he confidently took the lead and walked ahead.
Though Xu Xinling was confused, she quickly followed.
What do you think?
