Of course, this is a long-term consideration; the impact is not apparent in the short term.

However, Shen Yanming felt that there was a serious problem at hand that everyone needed to consider.

That is, the plant withers.

With the summer harvest approaching, any problems that arise at this time could be very troublesome.

The storm a couple of days ago already snapped some wheat and corn stalks, but that was only a minority. These past two years have been tough enough; if sunlight really does affect plant life, it could drive people to despair.

Shen Yanming was filled with worry, unaware that the world was never short of clever people, and that evil was already quietly growing.

----------

In the Qingyu residential community in Shanghai, a group of people went to the security office and made a scene, demanding an explanation from the security guards.

Chen Shunwei came out of the security office, frowned, and asked the residents who had come to cause trouble, "Excuse me, what is the matter?"

A middle-aged man angrily pointed a sickle at Chen Shunwei and cursed, "What kind of damn security work have you been doing? Our family's grain has been stolen, and you didn't even know?"

"Yes, all the food in the house has been squandered. How are we supposed to live? We worked so hard all year, just waiting for the summer harvest. Are we going to starve now?" An elderly auntie said, then collapsed to the ground and began to wail.

The young man shouted, "That's right! Didn't they say there were security cameras on the back hill? What a load of crap! I think you're the ones who stole from the mountains!"

"Yes, pay up! Oh no, pay up with grain! If they don't pay, we'll smash up the security office today and make them take money without doing anything!"

"Yes, we should call the police and have them all arrested and jailed. I bought this house in Qingyu Community because of its good security, but in reality, it's probably worse than other places. At least in other communities, we haven't heard of any large-scale grain thefts!"

......

It took Chen Shunwei a while to sort out his thoughts. It turned out that everyone who came to demand an explanation today had had their farmland stolen.

He was on the verge of a breakdown because his security team had always been diligent and responsible, and they genuinely hadn't discovered any troublemakers. But these residents were so aggressive that he felt he had no choice but to give them an explanation.

After everyone had finished their cursing and swearing, Chen Shunwei gave a wink to Fan Haopeng, the security guard next to him, signaling him to call the police. Then he said, "Everyone, please be quiet and let me say a few words, okay?"

Upon hearing this, everyone suspended their attack.

Chen Shunwei nodded. "I know everyone is very anxious about losing the food, but our surveillance footage hasn't shown any suspicious individuals. I can pull it up for everyone to see anytime."

Also, I've already sent a colleague to call the police. Losing grain is a serious matter, and our security capabilities are limited; we can't afford to take full responsibility. But we can't just let this go, and we can't let the perpetrators get away with it. So, it's best to let the police handle it.”

Chen Shunwei's words seemed to have provoked public outrage.

The crowd, which had quieted down, started clamoring again: "Hey, young man, how can you talk like that? We've been living here and our food has been stolen. You think you can just let it go by saying you didn't notice?"

If there's really no problem, why would we need to come to you?

"You're trying to accuse us of framing you, right? Then you need to provide evidence! Don't you have CCTV footage here? Show us the evidence that we're trying to frame you!"

"Exactly! They're just using the title of security guards at Qingyu Community to do nothing. I don't know how the property management company even hired a bunch of pests like you!"

They got more and more excited as they talked, and all sorts of nasty things started coming out of their mouths.

The veins on Chen Shunwei's forehead throbbed, but he still maintained a certain level of rationality.

He tried to calm himself down, but Fan Haopeng, being young, couldn't contain his anger and yelled at them, "Don't wrong people! We patrol Qingning Mountain several times a day and haven't found anyone's land being stolen from."

"You little security guard, you've gone too far! You're on patrol, but you've been patrolling all the way to the dog's belly!"

"Exactly, you're just making it sound nice. If there were patrols several times a day, would our food supplies be lost?"

Faced with the crowd's rebuttal, Fan Haopeng retorted directly: "Who knows what's wrong with you? The residents of Qingyu Community are all very civilized. Who would act like you, coming in like shrewish women and cursing right away!"

Chen Shunwei hadn't expected Fan Haopeng to be so audacious, and he couldn't stop him even if he tried. He glared fiercely at Fan Haopeng: "Are you trying to make things worse than they are?"

Fan Haopeng flinched, but still insisted, "Captain, I did nothing wrong. They weren't originally residents of Qingyu Community, they..."

"Oh my god, this world is unbearable! Even a lowly security guard dares to yell at us! So what if we're not homeowners? Who says we can't stay with relatives? Everyone says Qingyu Community has top-notch service, but I think it's just as bad as they say!"

"That's right, our grain has been destroyed, and we can't even get an explanation. Is this how your security team bullies newcomers?"

"What a display of official arrogance! Do you only offer compensation if my relatives come here?"

"They're not homeowners, but I am, right? You have to give me, the homeowner, an explanation!"

Chen Shunwei's nails dug into his palms, and he was about to fight them when he heard one of the young men shout, "Brothers, let's go! Why bother talking to them? A beating will make them behave!"

And then everyone responded to his call!

Before Chen Shunwei could even put his idea of ​​reasoning about right and wrong into action, he was besieged by a group of people.

Because his attitude had been relatively humble, the punches that landed on him were delivered with less force.

But things were different with Fan Haopeng. They all seemed to be going all out, beating people until they were screaming and howling, but no one stopped.

Chen Shunwei's eyes turned red. Were they taking advantage of him because of his position and couldn't act against him? Ha, this is really going too far! Today, he's risking being fired to stand up to them.

Chen Shunwei fought back, but the middle-aged men who took the opportunity to vent their anger on him were no match for him. They were quickly knocked to the ground, crying out in pain.

He didn't stop, and hurriedly went to pull away the people who were punching and kicking Fan Haopeng.

However, there were too many people here. He took down one or two, but there were still a group. He noticed that Fan Haopeng's face was bruised and purple, and he was afraid that he was seriously injured.

He became agitated and shouted, "Stop! Are you trying to kill him? You won't get away with it! I have CCTV here; none of you who committed this will escape!"

Chen Shunwei's words poured cold water on the group of young people who were immersed in the pleasure of beating someone up. They stood there dumbfounded, staring at Fan Haopeng, who lay motionless on the ground, his face ashen.

Then, hearing the middle-aged men who had fought alongside them lying on the ground groaning in pain, they all breathed a slight sigh of relief.
