Nie Tao led his men into the queue and it didn't take long for them to reach their destination.
"Sir, please show me your ID."
"Give."
Nie Tao handed over the passport in his hand.
Airport staff will place your passport on the machine for scanning as usual, and as long as your face is scanned, your passport will be returned.
Generally, there are few problems with this process, and the staff also performed routine checks before boarding the plane. Unexpectedly, the machine issued a "ding" sound.
He then looked over in surprise and saw the words "Document does not match" displayed on the computer.
The staff member tried again with the ID that Nie Tao handed to him, but the computer still showed a red cross, indicating that the ID did not match.
The staff member looked up at Nie Tao with a strange look in his eyes. He took his ID and said, "Excuse me, sir, please wait a moment. There is a problem with your ID. I will help others check in first, and then I will help you."
"Impossible, I used it when I first came in and there was no problem." Nie Tao said very dissatisfiedly.
But the staff insisted: "Sir, please wait a moment, I will try to help you later."
Nie Tao's brows were furrowed, and he was in a stalemate with the other party for a few seconds. In the end, he didn't want to cause unnecessary trouble, so he patiently walked aside and waited.
After he left, it was the subordinates who were behind him.
Sure enough, the subordinate's passport also had a problem and he was not allowed to pass either, so he was arranged to wait on the side.
The staff encountered two passengers in a row whose documents did not match, and they all thought that there was something wrong with the airport security machine today.
I was still worried and complaining in my heart, thinking what the hell.
Fortunately, the third person’s ID was found to be fine, and the same situation of ID discrepancies did not occur again afterwards.
After the airport staff let everyone in line pass security and board the plane, they made an internal call and reported the situation to their superiors.
After a while, several staff members came and said to Nie Tao and the others, "Gentlemen, your passports cannot pass inspection. Otherwise, you can go to the office with us to see if it is a problem with your passports or other reasons."
Nie Tao had something hidden in his mind, his face was tense, and his attitude was uncooperative: "I'm in a hurry!"
He was afraid that he would not be able to get on the plane and something unexpected would happen.
The staff member communicated well and assured: "Don't worry, it won't take long. We will ask our colleagues to check if it is a system problem. If it is found, we will arrange for you to board the plane immediately. It will not delay your trip..."
The plane does not take off immediately after all passengers are on board. It needs to wait for the tower to make arrangements and dispatches. Usually, the plane will take off half an hour after all passengers are on board.
Nie Tao felt annoyed as he watched the staff in front of him continue to explain things to him, but he also knew that if he didn't resolve the problem, he would not be able to get on the plane, and might not even be able to leave.
So he could only relent after the other party repeatedly reiterated that he was just taking them to the office to wait for their passports to be checked. "I have important things to do and need to catch that flight. You can check it if you want. I will cooperate. But please hurry up."
"No problem." The staff assured them again and again, and took the two people to the administrative office of the terminal with their passports in hand.
Nie Tao followed behind the staff, dressed in a suit and tie, with a strong aura, and was very cooperative.
Instead, his subordinates quickly chased after him and whispered in his ear, "Boss Nie, could this be... a trap?"
