Hu Zi's opening remarks immediately dampened the mood of the others.
"Hu Zi, you're using your position for personal gain," one of the security guards said.
"How many times have you guys been there? Clearly, you don't stand a chance," Hu Zi chuckled. "Maybe this chance is reserved for me."
"We scorn you," everyone showed Hu Zi the middle finger.
Hu Zi didn't seem to care. He walked into the washroom, grabbed two buckets of water, and headed out.
"Brother, what did you do before?" After Hu Zi left, one of them asked Qin Han Chu.
Qin Han Chu replied, "I worked in tech at a technology company."
"Why are you doing security with that kind of expertise?"
Hearing Qin Han Chu's answer, the others were quite puzzled.
Technicians from technology companies were considered highly educated professionals. Why would he come to work as a security guard?
"Because of some matters," Qin Han Chu said with a hint of awkwardness.
Seeing Qin Han Chu's expression, the others realized it might not be a pleasant matter, so they didn't press further.
"Let's go, I'll take you on patrol and familiarize you with the neighborhood."
When the alarm sounded, one of them said to Qin Han Chu.
Qin Han Chu nodded and followed him out.
Each patrol consisted of four people, and they each had their own routes.
Since Qin Han Chu was new, there were five people out on patrol today.
A young man named Ah Ming was responsible for showing Qin Han Chu the layout of the residential area.
As the most upscale community in Lin Cheng, the environment here was naturally very pleasant.
Along the way, he saw several middle-aged and elderly people walking their dogs.
As a security guard for the community, Ah Ming knew the identities of all these people.
While strolling, Ah Ming told Qin Han Chu about their identities one by one.
"You must be polite when speaking to these people."
"Last month, one of our colleagues had a disagreement with an owner and was fired on the spot."
"There's still quite a bit of benefit in our line of work."
"If an owner is happy, they might casually tip you a few hundred or even a thousand yuan."
Qin Han Chu wasn't particularly bothered by this.
Although his powers were sealed, he wasn't so desperate as to live a life of subservience.
As they chatted, the two arrived at Building Eight.
Just then, Hu Zi walked out with two empty buckets.
"Captain, what's up?" Ah Ming asked in a low voice, with a slight smile.
"It's just the first time, what could be up?" Hu Zi said sheepishly.
Ah Ming sighed, "Let's not be like toads wishing for swan meat. In the end, we won't get the girl and might even lose our jobs."
"Next time, let Jun Cai try. If he fails too, we'll give up," Hu Zi said.
Qin Han Chu frowned, "What do you mean?"
"Let's talk about it somewhere else."
Led by Hu Zi and Ah Ming, the three of them got into a golf cart.
After driving the golf cart a distance away, the two explained the situation.
It turned out that a wealthy and beautiful woman had just moved into Building Eight, and these guys were all trying to use their charm to attract her.
If they could win the favor of this "white swan," they might be able to marry into wealth.
"You guys keep trying, I won't get involved."
"Maybe after a few more tries, you'll catch the white swan's attention."
Qin Han Chu had a family background. Even though this was another world, he would never cheat.
"I think so too," Hu Zi said.
Upon returning to the security room, they happened to be changing shifts.
Qin Han Chu went to the guard post and took his position.
Although Qin Han Chu's elemental power was sealed, his physical body was incredibly strong.
Even a Martial King realm cultivator would be no match for Qin Han Chu without his elemental power.
With such a robust physique, standing guard was a piece of cake.
Seeing Qin Han Chu standing perfectly still in the guard post, Hu Zi remarked, "Jun Cai has good stamina, standing so still for so long."
"He's a natural for security work," Ah Ming chuckled.
"With you saying that, our profession sounds quite prestigious," another person quipped.
"Tao Yi Fei is here!" At this moment, a security guard looked up and pointed into the distance.
Everyone followed his gaze and saw a convertible sports car approaching.
A beautiful woman with long hair was seated in the driver's seat of the sports car.
She was Tao Yi Fei from Building Eight.
In terms of both appearance and figure, Tao Yi Fei was top-tier.
Her elegance and beauty were in no way inferior to A Xiang or Jin Hai Lu.
Qin Han Chu merely glanced at her before returning his gaze to his post in the guard booth.
Tao Yi Fei gave Qin Han Chu a curious look before driving away.
For Qin Han Chu, this security job wasn't tiring at all.
Besides standing guard and patrolling, security guards had plenty of rest time.
Unknowingly, it was already noon.
Just then, an owner from Building Five requested a security guard to deliver water.
"You guys go eat first, shall I deliver it?" Qin Han Chu offered.
"Alright, remember to be polite."
"After delivering the water, go directly to the property management office to eat."
Qin Han Chu nodded, "Understood."
Leaving those on duty behind, Hu Zi and the others went off to eat.
Qin Han Chu picked up two buckets of water, placed them in the golf cart, and drove to Building Five.
The weight of the two buckets felt like feathers to Qin Han Chu. He leisurely walked into the elevator of Building Five.
A moment later, Qin Han Chu rang the doorbell for the owner of unit 902.
The door opened, and a middle-aged woman appeared before Qin Han Chu.
Qin Han Chu calmly stated, "I'm here to deliver water."
"Put it over there!" the middle-aged woman said imperiously, pointing towards the kitchen.
Qin Han Chu paid no mind to the middle-aged woman's attitude. He set down the water and said, "There's still some water left in this bucket. If you take it away next time, I'll pour it out for you."
"Take it, I don't want it," the middle-aged woman replied.
Qin Han Chu said nothing more and directly picked up the empty bucket.
At that moment, a muffled groaning sound came from within the room.
A hint of disgust flashed across the middle-aged woman's face. She walked into the room and snapped, "What are you groaning about? Be quiet!"
Groan...
The old man continued to cry out, his voice laced with pain.
"Shut up, or I'll slap you, believe it or not?" the middle-aged woman said angrily.
Qin Han Chu walked over and saw an old man lying on the bed, groaning.
"He seems to be in a lot of pain. Should I call an ambulance for you?"
Qin Han Chu knew how critical the old man's condition was.
It was still possible to call an ambulance now; if they delayed for another hour, the old man might lose his life.
"It's none of your business. Why are you being so nosy?"
The middle-aged woman glared at Qin Han Chu.
Hearing this, Qin Han Chu turned and left.
The old man's life and death were not his concern. If the middle-aged woman refused his kind reminder, so be it.
As soon as Qin Han Chu left, the old man's groans turned into agonizing cries.
Clearly, his pain had intensified.
Hearing the old man's agonizing cries, the middle-aged woman, who had previously been dismissive, began to panic.
She quickly picked up her phone and dialed for an ambulance.
This middle-aged woman was not the old man's daughter but a caregiver hired by his son.
Because the old man was unable to speak and was paralyzed, the caregiver treated him very poorly.
