At the entrance of the neighborhood.
"Yo! Aunt Wu, buying groceries? Let help you carry them."
"Miss Huang, got off work?
"Xiao Hei is out of school? Look, you’ve grown taller again!"
Liu Hai, dressed in a black security uniform, warmly greeted the residents with a smile that was incredibly diligent.
After being busy all morning, he finally stood in the shade of the security booth, took off his hat, and wiped his sweat.
"Captain Liu, have a cigarette."
A fellow security guard offered him a cigarette.
"No, it doesn’t give a good impression to the residents. If you want to smoke, go to the smoking area!"
"Uh... Captain Liu, is it really necessary?" the junior guard reluctantly put away the cigarette.
"Is it necessary? The complaint letters from the hoowners’ association are almost stuffing the mailbox, not to ntion we’ve lost this month’s bonus, and we’re nearly losing our jobs! Do you think it’s necessary?" Liu Hai complained.
Things had really been going from bad to worse recently.
A regular neighborhood security might rule their confined space, but First-class Residence is a high-end community.
In small neighborhoods, small security, here the residents are the real Gods.
So ti ago, a stranger accidentally slipped in, not only got bitten by a dog in the neighborhood, but also nearly fought with Director Zhang.
Director Zhang is not only a governnt official but also quite influential within the hoowners’ association.
That incident had already soured Director Zhang on the community’s security.
As a result, the troublemaking dog was tied up right under Director Zhang’s nose the next day and has been missing since...
There hadn’t even been a call asking for ransom, betting that the dog was likely "disposed of."
But Captain Liu refused to believe it, insisting that the neighborhood security was responsible for finding the dog!
There was no choice, for those couple of days he busied himself looking for clues about the "kidnapper."
But trouble never cos alone—the dog hadn’t been found yet when Mrs. Zhang got hit by an apple falling from the sky and ended up in the hospital.
Guess what happened next?
Director Zhang personally beat his son until his butt was a ss and he had to take several sick days off school.
Tsk tsk!
Thinking of the Zhang family—three people and a dog.
Originally having a house and a dog made life joyous.
Now only Director Zhang remains, lonely and solitary...
This was almost a complete family annihilation!
Truly a human tragedy!
Though most of these affairs had nothing to do with their neighborhood security team.
But with dog bites, dog nappings, and falling objects, the residents couldn’t help but bla the poor property managent.
Of course, the property manager shifted the bla to the security team, and being the captain of the security, Liu Hai was the first to face the music.
"Hey! Captain Liu, look, is that the person who was bitten by the dog the other day?"
While brooding, the junior guard suddenly pointed out.
Liu Hai followed the direction pointed to the main gate.
Yes! That was indeed the "victim" who had almost, fought with Director Zhang last ti.
Seeing that person cavalierly about to follow another resident into the community, Liu Hai hurriedly stopped him.
"Hey hey hey! What’s up? You again?"
"I’ve got sothing to do, let in."
"Do you even know where you are? You think you can just waltz in?
Last ti you trespassed, and I haven’t even settled the score with you yet. And here you are again? Do you think this is your house?"
"Last ti I was looking for sothing, this ti I’m looking for soone!"
"Right! Last ti you were looking for sothing, and ended up fighting with a dog. This ti you’re looking for soone—are you planning to pick another fight?"
Liu Hai was suspicious that the man had recovered and was now coming to seek revenge on Director Zhang.
With the Zhang family already in dire straits, even if not out of duty as a neighborhood guard, he felt he couldn’t let this man enter on humanitarian grounds!
"Relax, I’m not here to fight. Fighting is so low-tech!
Today, I’m just looking for the young brother who spoke up for last ti. By the way, you guys know him, right?"
Young brother?
Liu Hai seed to rember sothing.
However, ng Lang had only recently moved in, so he didn’t know what his na was or where he lived.
Considering the visitor didn’t seem to be bluffing, Liu Hai slightly relaxed.
His eyes shifted.
"I can help you find soone, but first, you have to tell , did you take Director Zhang’s dog?"
Your legs were barely bitten by the dog before it got kidnapped.
Even a fool could see who the pri suspect was, right?
"Oh? The dog was kidnapped, huh? Well, that really did the community a service, haha..." Cheng Biao looked at Liu Hai, not admitting anything.
But that smile was nearly shouting, "It was Laozi who took it."
"You..." Liu Hai glared, about to explode, but realizing the man might still have the "dog hostage," he quickly put on a smile.
"Look, brother, since the owner’s dog is gone, it’s tough for to explain.
How about I convince them to compensate you for the dical and emotional distress, and you return their dog?
We’re all just trying to make a living. Let’s not burn bridges, right?"
Return it?
That’s harder than finding my lost fishing rod!
"Brother Biao!" Just then, his junior, Ah Xing, ca running up behind him, panting.
"Why are you so slow?" Cheng Biao frowned.
"Hey! Don’t even ntion it! I just turned a corner to buy so buns, and soone stole my electric scooter!
I had no choice but to take the bus here.
These darn kids, even daring to steal Ah Xing’s ride! They must be sick of living!
Just let find them. I’ll make sure they learn what a fist as big as a casserole feels like!" Ah Xing clenched his fist and cursed.
