Chen Shunwei walked quickly, but the security guard still caught up with him.
He was worried and insisted on taking Chen Shunwei to have the wound disinfected and treated before the two left the hospital and returned to Qingyu Community.
They remained silent the entire way until they were almost at the entrance of the residential area, when Chen Shunwei finally asked, "How is Fan Haopeng?"
The security guard was stunned for a moment, not expecting that his captain would still think of his teammates after being wronged.
He thought for a moment and said, "I can't say for sure, but it seems quite serious, with internal bleeding. The Fan family arrived shortly after we got there, and they arranged all the examinations and surgery."
Chen Shunwei nodded, showing some understanding towards the Fan family. He figured they were probably angry and overly worried about Fan Haopeng, which led to their inappropriate words and actions.
He glanced at the security guard, then handed him the bag, saying, "Go to the hospital tomorrow and deliver these things to the Fan family so they can give Xiao Fan some nourishment."
The security guard didn't take it, and looked at Chen Shunwei, asking, "Captain, you're not angry anymore?"
Chen Shunwei shook his head and chuckled, "I'm furious, how could I not be furious! That old woman scratched me, almost disfiguring me, I'd want to kill her, let alone be angry!"
"Then why are you still..." the security guard asked, puzzled.
Chen Shunwei sighed, "I'm angry with Xiao Fan's mother, but we can't just ignore it for Xiao Fan's sake. Besides, I do have some fault in this matter."
"Wasn't it said that it was because Fan Haopeng acted impulsively?"
“Yes, but he acted impulsively because of me.” Chen Shunwei smiled, but there was a hint of bitterness in his smile. “Although I spoke confidently in the hospital, he was injured because he stood up for me.”
We can't just remember people's bad deeds and ignore their good ones; we still need to show them the care and concern they deserve.
The security guard nodded and took the bag from Chen Shunwei. But looking at the gate of the residential complex so close at hand, both of them smiled.
"Hey, Captain, looks like your idea of having me help carry the stuff back is off the table," the security guard joked.
Chen Shunwei pretended to slap the other man on the head and laughed, "You little brat, even if you're only a few steps away, I'll still carry you."
The security guard laughed and shouted "Okay!" before running off in a flash.
Chen Shunwei put down his right hand, which was only meant to be used for show, his eyes filled with a smile of satisfaction.
After they returned to the security room, Chen Shunwei immediately went to find the property management. The group held a meeting for nearly two hours before disbanding.
The property management's point is that the information should be made public. In other words, they need to inform everyone about the thefts occurring on the back of Qingning Mountain. As for whether they will take preventative measures or what preventative measures they will take, that's beyond the control of the staff.
It's not that Chen Shunwei and the other security guards were irresponsible, but there were only about 20 people in total, and they were responsible for the entire community.
With community access control in front, villa residential buildings in the middle, and Qingning Mountain behind, the sheer number of areas to manage inevitably leads to a shortage of manpower.
Even if there are surveillance cameras on the back hill, if a thief really comes to steal the grain, even if they spot it and go to catch the thief, it will probably be too late. After all, this community is huge.
Therefore, this is not a matter of attitude, but a reality that forces them to issue a warning to the residents of the community.
Actually, there was a makeshift house on the back of Qingning Mountain. When the land was first distributed to individuals, the security team had some people guarding it for a while. Later, after the HZ virus incident, the personnel there were withdrawn, and the makeshift house was locked up.
After that, there were both extreme cold spells and earthquakes, so no one was sent to guard the area anymore.
Chen Shunwei thought that this time he would probably have to arrange for someone to stay there again.
However, the conditions on the back of Qingning Mountain are very poor. There isn't even a latrine, and the water pipe is just a plastic one that was barely connected. Often, the water pressure is too low to release water, which is really unbearable for ordinary people.
Fortunately, the summer harvest is just around the corner, and the shifts will only last a few days for each person. Just hang in there and it will pass.
He had just left the property management office and returned to the security room when his phone received a group notification from the property management. After glancing at it and thinking there was nothing wrong, he put the matter out of his mind.
But you can't put your mind at ease too soon. The experience of those pioneers was just the beginning; that very night, someone looted more than ten square meters of a homeowner's land.
It was only because the security guard in the security room saw a shadowy figure in the surveillance video and couldn't tell if it was a resident or a thief, that he asked a colleague to go and check it out. The colleague scared the person away, thus preventing serious consequences.
However, this incident also served as a reminder to them.
That is to say, having surveillance cameras doesn't guarantee peace of mind. In the middle of the night, security guards need to sleep, and they might easily miss any unusual activity. And even if they don't sleep, they can't clearly tell whether it's a resident or a thief from the low-resolution video.
This isn't a normal time of day; almost no one goes to the fields late at night. The sun is too strong now, so most people choose to go out at night. Isn't it perfectly normal for them to be working or harvesting in the fields late at night?
Chen Shunwei forwarded the incident from last night to the group chat again through the property management. At the same time, he also sent out information about the difficulties they were facing in their work.
The homeowners were understanding, but some started to panic. They were finally about to harvest; what if their land was targeted and their harvest was lost?
However, these are the minority.
Most people felt there was absolutely no need to worry, because they had put up barbed wire fences around their fields. All that effort had finally paid off.
However, they were a little too optimistic...
----------
After confirming that the plants would be affected by sunlight, Shen Yanming had been worried about the wheat in his field. However, not wanting his wife to worry, he would force a smile and pretend that nothing was wrong every night when he got home.
But Bi Qiaoan had lived with him for so many years, how could she not see through him? She just didn't expose his disguise.
Feeling annoyed, Shen Yanming ignored everything and retreated to his spatial dimension. Three days later, he came out and saw the property management's reminder.
At this moment, Shen Yanming's heart, which had been pounding with anxiety, finally settled down.
His worst fears came true.
While it's hard to say whether they risked their lives because they noticed the plants were starting to wither, the chaos began nonetheless.
Shen Yanming took a deep breath and called Zhang Heping. He first asked how he was doing, and then he started talking about the family's fields.
"What? Wheat!" Zhang Heping was surprised for a moment before laughing and saying, "If you hadn't mentioned it, I would have forgotten that I even have land. The hospital has been very busy lately, and I haven't had a break since I came back from your place. I haven't even been home, let alone to the fields."
However, haven't you and Lao Ji always been the ones looking after our land? You should ask him instead of me.”
