After closing the shop and returning home, Xu Kang and Xu Le, who had seen the game of "musical chairs" in a picture book yesterday, pestered Xu An to play it with them.

Xu An had no reason to miss the opportunity to openly bully the two of them, so he readily agreed.

After winning two games, just as Xu An was brimming with confidence and planning for a ten-game winning streak, the two little ones huddled together and discussed it, deciding not to play with Xu An anymore.

Feeling rejected, Xu An could only lock the courtyard gate, lie down on the rocking chair, and fall asleep peacefully amidst the cheerful chatter of Xu Kang and Xu Le.

But this peace didn't last long. Soon, someone knocked on the courtyard gate, and Aunt Hong's voice rang out from outside.

"Anzi, are you home? I need to talk to you about something."

Xu An opened the courtyard gate in a daze and saw familiar people such as Aunt Hong and Uncle Lin. Behind them were a dozen or so people, most of whom looked quite familiar. At this moment, all of them were staring at him, which made Xu An lose all sleepiness.

"Anzi, I heard Guosheng's wife say before that your shop has surveillance cameras installed that can record 24 hours a day, right?" Aunt Hong grabbed Xu An's arm and asked in a very urgent tone.

"Yes, surveillance cameras have been installed in all three stores. Why?" Xu An was completely baffled as to why Aunt Hong and the others would suddenly ask him this.

"Can surveillance cameras be installed in our greenhouses? How much would it cost?" Aunt Hong asked again.

Why would they install surveillance cameras in the greenhouse for no reason?

Xu An's confusion was so obvious that everyone could tell at a glance that he didn't know what was happening in the greenhouse, so they took turns explaining it to him.

After piecing together everyone's account, Xu An finally learned what had happened at the greenhouse.

In short, many greenhouses suffered devastating damage last night.

Yes, the victims were not only the Yan brothers; all the greenhouses in that relatively remote area near the hillside were destroyed, but the Yan brothers were the first to discover it.

Everyone guessed that the thieves were scared away by the light from the Yan brothers' flashlights; otherwise, the damaged greenhouses wouldn't have been limited to the area on the hillside, but could have been much more.

This incident caused widespread panic among the people.

We've been growing vegetables in greenhouses for so many years, and we've never needed anyone to watch over them at night. There haven't been any problems in all these years, and we've never even seen anyone steal our vegetables.

This time, more than ten or twenty greenhouses were destroyed overnight. This is truly unprecedented.

Some people have already planned to pack up and go to sleep outside the greenhouse tonight, since those thieves didn't just steal the fruits and vegetables, they destroyed the greenhouse as well!

Although it was just the film that was damaged, the film wasn't cheap!

But sleeping and taking night shifts in the greenhouse is only a temporary measure.

In the hot summer, it's fine for strong people to sleep outside the greenhouse; but when it gets cold in the winter, whether you sleep inside or outside the greenhouse, it can be deadly!

As they chatted, Aunt Hong remembered the surveillance cameras Xu An had installed in the shop. They filmed 24/7, allowing them to check on the greenhouse at any time, which immediately piqued everyone's interest.

Each greenhouse is equipped with cameras, so if those thieves want to come again, they'll have to think twice.

If their figures and appearances are captured on camera, and such a large sum of money is involved, then they're guaranteed to be caught!

However, Xu An was unsure whether installing surveillance cameras in the greenhouse was feasible, so he could only seek help from professionals.

I took out my phone and contacted the store clerk who had previously installed surveillance cameras in my shop. After asking him, I was told that I would have to see the situation on-site to determine how much it would cost.

As the only person in the group with relevant experience, Xu An was taken to the greenhouse planting area by them.

The greenhouse planting area is usually quite lively, but even the day we argued with Shengli Supermarket wasn't as lively as today.

From a distance, it looked like a sea of ​​people, blocking all the roads in layers. It was estimated that people from several nearby villages had come to see what was going on after hearing the news that there was a problem in the greenhouse planting area.

With everyone's help, Xu An finally managed to squeeze in, and when he saw the greenhouse on the Yan brothers' side, he was immediately stunned.

When he first heard that the greenhouse had been destroyed, he didn't feel anything, but now that he saw it with his own eyes, Xu An couldn't help but curse in his heart, "Those sons of bitches." After cursing, he felt that this was an insult to dogs; even dogs wouldn't do such a thing.

The dozen or so greenhouses in front of me, except for the entrance which was basically intact, were all ripped to shreds, with big holes making the whole greenhouse look like a sieve.

This wasn't about stealing vegetables to sell for money; it was purely about venting anger!

There were also more than ten law enforcement officers inside the scene, inspecting the site and conducting brief inquiries with relevant personnel.

The farmers whose greenhouses were destroyed were all crying and complaining, their voices filled with resentment and gritting their teeth.

When they returned to Aunt Hong's greenhouse, Aunt Hong explained everything to Xu An in detail.

Apart from the Yan brothers, almost all the other families whose farms were destroyed had started their greenhouse farming operations in the last two years after seeing how well the others were doing. They had only had one year's output, and hadn't even recouped their initial investment yet.

First there was the Shengli Supermarket incident, and now this other misfortune has struck. It's uncertain whether the insurance will cover it, how much it will pay, or even whether the greenhouse can be rebuilt.

Xu An shook his head repeatedly upon hearing this. Although greenhouse cultivation yields more and generates higher income than ordinary farmland cultivation, the investment is also much greater!
