Lu Yichen stopped abruptly. Frowning, he turned to them. "Good morning. The person you said was fired — was it the guard from yesterday?" he inquired.
The older guard paused. Remembering him, he explained politely, "Yes, he is. Is there anything I can help you with?"
"When was he fired? Why was he fired?" Lu Yichen probed deeply.
"Uh, this… he was fired yesterday afternoon. As for the reason…" The older guard looked awkward. Glancing at Mu Xiaoxiao, he could only say, "Sorry, this is classified; I cannot reveal this to you."
Even if he didn't say it, Lu Yichen understood what had happened perfectly.
Crestfallen, he nodded in gratitude. "Thank you. I understand."
Then, he walked ahead, seeming to forget Mu Xiaoxiao's existence.
Mu Xiaoxiao was confused. She thought, Was the guard he was asking about the one who had blocked her entry? How did he get fired?
