Stop pretending, I'm a security guard, a five-star general!

Half an hour later, after a dozen prison guards worked hard to put out the fire in the office, the fire was finally extinguished.

Looking at the devastated office before him, now a charred ruin, Wang Hai felt his blood pressure soaring.

He clutched his chest, desperately suppressing his anger, and roared in a hoarse voice:

"Investigate! Investigate thoroughly!!"

"We'll dig three feet into the ground to find this criminal who dared to set fire to my office and tear him to pieces!"

"Wang, Warden Wang, the cause of the fire has been found. It was caused by a still-burning cigarette butt that fell onto the office floor."

The prison guard standing nearby looked at Wang Hai with a strange expression and answered.

"Cigarette butt?"

Wang Hai was taken aback when he heard this. He then suddenly remembered that when he burned his mouth with a cigarette butt earlier, he had accidentally flicked the cigarette butt away and then forgot about it!

"Warden Wang, our surveillance footage and evidence review have revealed that only you have been entering and leaving your office during this period..."

The prison guard spoke cautiously in a low voice, but stopped mid-sentence.

But the meaning is actually quite obvious.

It was you, old Deng, who started this fire!

Wang Hai: "..."

The two looked at each other, speechless, and the room fell into a deathly silence.

"Ahem, well, I think the security cameras were broken recently, right?"

After an unknown amount of time, Wang Hai suddenly patted the prison guard on the shoulder with a smile, and asked a question with a threatening look in his eyes.

"Um, well, it seems like... it's broken, right?" the prison guard replied uncertainly.

"Sigh, there's nothing we can do if the surveillance cameras are broken; we can't find the arsonist."

Wang Hai sighed helplessly, "By the way, you did a good job putting out the fire this time, so you'll get the highest performance bonus this month."

Upon hearing this, the prison guard's face immediately lit up with excitement and joy, and he patted his chest to assure him:

"Warden Wang, rest assured, I will definitely keep this a secret!"

"Ok?"

"Pah! I meant I'll work even harder from now on and live up to your expectations."

"Yes, do a good job, I believe in you."

Wang Hai smiled and patted the prison guard on the shoulder, then dismissed them all.

Afterwards, Wang Hai walked back into the office, which had been charred black by the fire, looking somewhat depressed.

A quick glance immediately caught sight of the perfectly intact calligraphy brush lying on the table.

He immediately looked surprised.

After a major fire, everything in the office was reduced to ashes.

But this calligraphy brush was completely unharmed!

What kind of amazing treasure is this?

Wang Hai held it in his hand, examining it carefully, and couldn't help but recall Qin Yu's earlier warning to him.

Anyone who gets this eyebrow pencil will be plagued by bad luck.

Could it be that what this kid said was true, and he wasn't lying to me anymore?

Wang Hai frowned slightly. After experiencing two unfortunate events in a row, his heart was already somewhat shaken.

But he quickly shook his head.

impossible!

Absolutely impossible!

I'm a staunch materialist, how could I possibly believe in such feudal superstition!?

Wang Hai smiled and shook his head.

He refused to believe it and vowed to make him suffer again if he dared!

After making this prediction, Wang Hai quickly looked around warily, fearing that something unfortunate might happen again.

However, after a nerve-wracking half hour, nothing else went wrong.

Wang Hai finally breathed a sigh of relief and shook his head with a smile.

He said it himself: this stuff is just feudal superstition and shouldn't be taken seriously.

Afterwards, Wang Hai returned to his dormitory, washed up, and lay down on his bed to go to sleep.

However, at this moment,

A phone call came in; it was from his beloved daughter.

"Hey, sweetie, why are you calling Daddy so late? Do you miss Daddy?"
