A group of people who had been focused on gossiping immediately stood up and looked at Li Sikai somewhat guiltily, saying, "Captain, you're back!"

"Hmm, they're all going to rebel. How can you just say things like that?" Li Sikai scolded with a stern face.

"Captain, I'm sorry! The brothers were just too bored, and we got carried away with our conversation, and we didn't know how to watch what we were saying."

"I think you've all become too relaxed outside and forgotten all about organizational discipline. In that case, recite the regulations ten times to refresh your memory."

"No way! Captain, we were wrong! Please don't punish us by making us recite the regulations! There are hundreds of regulations; we couldn't finish even if we wrote until tomorrow night. Besides, these paper and pens are precious resources; how can you let us waste them?"

Li Sikai was so angry at his teammates' pleas that he laughed.

This is temporary housing, and the soundproofing is not very good.

Their dormitory was not far from Yuan Ruoxi's house, and there were many other dormitories nearby housing security guards, workers, and residents providing logistical support. How dare they discuss such a sensitive topic so openly? Weren't they afraid of being found out by the parties involved?

It's true, after being released for so long, they've even lost their sense of crisis. Li Sikai fully realized that discipline had to be restored.

Therefore, there's no room for negotiation. "Go and memorize the regulations!"

Geng Zhixing and the others knew there was no turning back, and they all went to find paper and pens with long faces. But they were still a little resentful.

You think they do nothing all day, not chat or joke around, what else can they do?

Sometimes, I feel like I'm not even as good as a regular security guard in Suzhou. At least they're free and can go on missions from time to time.

Although they are also on a mission, this mission is too difficult. On one hand, they are protecting each other, and on the other hand, they are letting things run wild. I feel like I'm constantly experiencing a mental breakdown. I don't know if I'll go insane after a while.

If the superiors could give clear instructions, even something as simple as telling them to kill someone, it would be much better than this half-hearted search for an opportunity.

But for the sake of their reputation and the harmony of the people, the leadership forbids them from using drastic measures. As a result, the matter has made no progress, and they are practically exiled.

Li Sikai didn't say anything, just watched them scribbling and drawing on the paper, feeling frustrated.

Two minutes later, an auntie in the building let out a loud wails, making the group of people, who were lost in their own emotions, shudder.

They then understood why the captain had been so furious when he saw them gossiping.

If you're not careful, someone might overhear you!

After serving as guards for so many years, they've only been out for less than a year, and they've already thrown all their vigilance to the wind. It's truly unacceptable!

So several people willingly began to memorize the regulations, using them as a reminder to themselves.

Seeing their change in mood, Li Sikai sat down on the bed with a sense of relief, thinking about what had happened yesterday.

Yesterday, as usual, he went to help the Suzhou City Guard Team rebuild the urban area.

I was going to ask Yuan Ruoxi to come along, but she refused to go out, using the excuse that the pustules on her face were uncomfortable.

Li Sikai had no choice but to take his team with him, but he left Sun Sainan to look after them.

Not long after they left, Yuan Ruoxi took Tong Xianbao and Lu Nanfang out. Sun Sainan could only follow along.

The group went to Erlong Mountain in the suburbs.

Yuan Ruoxi took out a picnic blanket from her spatial storage and spread it under the big tree. She then took out a pot of tea, a few biscuits, and some wild peaches, and leisurely followed along as if on a picnic.

Sun Sainan didn't think much of it. Since she had come out for a rare trip, she sat down under the tree and ate and drank with them.

After they had almost finished eating, Yuan Ruoxi said, "I heard there are many peach trees here, let's go pick some peaches!"

Sun Sainan was taken aback and said, "They all have owners, right? It's not right for us to steal them!"

"No way! These are wild peach trees growing naturally in the middle of nowhere! Besides, there are still many Suzhou residents who are out of town and haven't returned yet. If we don't pick them, wouldn't it be a waste for those wild peaches to rot on the ground?"

Seeing that Sun Sainan remained unmoved, Yuan Ruoxi pressed on: "How did you feel about the peach you just ate?"

"They're too small, about the size of a larger apricot. They're all green, a bit sour and astringent, and not sweet at all, but they have a strong peach flavor. You could say they don't meet market demands at all, but they're good for snacking on!"

Yuan Ruoxi nodded and smiled. "Yes, you're right. So who would grow these peaches that have no appealing appearance or good taste to sell? They must be naturally grown and raised by nature!"

"Come on, those peaches won't grow big enough, and many have fallen to the ground and been ruined by worms. If we don't go pick them soon, there won't be a single peach left."

Sun Sainan was persuaded by her. It was the word "waste" that touched his heartstrings.

He had a good feel for what the guards had been eating during this time, so how could he let these not-so-bad peaches be eaten up by insects?

So he asked, "Where is the wild peach tree you're talking about?"

Yuan Ruoxi, Tong Xianbao, and Lu Nanfang exchanged a glance and laughed, "There are about ten trees at the foot of that mountain!"

"Let's go then, let's go take a look! Let's agree in advance that if the trees have an owner and they come looking for us, we'll return all the fruit to them and offer some compensation as appropriate. If these trees don't have an owner, we'll split the harvest in half."

Half is for you, and half is for us guards.

Yuan Ruoxi found Sun Sainan's terms reasonable, yet she couldn't resist her greed. She stopped and asked, "Since that's the case, do you want to take the peaches back yourself?"

"Don't you have your own space? If there were too many peaches, how could I possibly bring them all back by myself!"

"Using my space requires payment, and I want 20% of your half!"

Sun Sainan nodded without hesitation; he never bothered to argue with the other party about such matters.

Actually, you can't argue with her. Yuan Ruoxi always manages to make you want to vomit blood with her greedy attitude.

He walked ahead, thinking to himself, "With all of you skinny guys, won't the burden of picking the peaches fall on my shoulders? Knowing this, you still want to haggle with me over the cost of using the space? You really don't understand human relationships at all."

"I just don't want to waste my time with you guys, otherwise, I would definitely have a serious talk with you."

In fact, Sun Sainan forgot that if Yuan Ruoxi hadn't provided the location of the peach tree, he wouldn't have even gotten 80% of that half.

However, Sun Sainan, who was lost in his own thoughts, had no idea about this. He also didn't notice that Yuan Ruoxi, who was usually very stingy, was suddenly being so generous as to share fruit with him.

He walked forward with his head covered, while the three people following behind were ready to make a run for it.

About half an hour later, the group reached the peach grove at the foot of the mountain.
