Seeing the guard's expression grow even more dejected, Yan Xianjue clicked his tongue. Poor guy.
But he was still a little curious.
"Does my second sister still have the authority to punish you? I thought she'd have to file a complaint with your superior."
The guard looked at Yan Xianjue, at a loss for words. "Your second sister is my superior now."
"Besides," he pointed out, "I only bought the wrong bag of candy. I didn't do it on purpose. Your sister only asked me to write a self-criticism. You want to get me fired outright."
Getting fired was unlikely, but it still counted as a mistake at work.
Thinking about it that way, Yan Shan actually had quite a good temper.
Though he also felt like the siblings had joined forces to PUA him.
Yan Xianjue himself had no such awareness at all. He called out to Ji Xi, "The self-criticism isn't urgent. I never gave you a deadline. Lei Xuan's side is about to start."
Ji Xi nodded. "Got it."
Before leaving, Ji Xi sincerely advised the guard, "You should probably confess and be treated leniently."
He had a feeling that if Yan Shan found out it had been a prank item, this man would have an even worse time.
Shen Fangli said, "This guard seems a little slow."
Yan Xianjue nodded in agreement. "But my second sister didn't replace him."
Shen Fangli indicated that she understood Yan Xianjue's unspoken meaning.
Then Yan Xianjue's inner voice told her that she understood far too little.
[He's the kind of person who, in the future, would hear my second sister say she wanted to blow up a research institute and immediately light the fuse without asking why.]
After hearing Yan Xianjue's sigh, Shen Fangli fell into a long silence.
