She spoke, her expression changing, and then she covered her face and began to cry. “A few days ago, because of this matter, my husband and I had a big fight. If I don’t retrieve the items, our relationship is in jeopardy! Li Wei’s coveting of military property is one thing, but it’s also causing conflicts in our family. This is clearly undermining military families. According to the law, he should be sentenced to several years!”

Although Lin Fan had never been married or been in a relationship with a military person in his previous life, he had some knowledge about military marriages. Li Wei’s actions could definitely be considered as breaking a military marriage.

Yan Shun, who had rushed to the Provincial Theater upon hearing the news, stopped in his tracks, his eyes filled with surprise.

When he arrived at the theater in a hurry, the crowd had already dispersed, and he saw the three people being taken away by the police. The others were looking at him with meaningful glances.

It was Ning Yan who took the initiative to approach him and explain the situation. But he could not understand why Lin Fan had to make everything so public every time, which made him very angry when he arrived at the police station. However, he did not expect to hear these words.

For a moment, his emotions became quite complicated.

Chen Fang sensed the meaning behind Lin Fan’s words and looked at her with some disbelief. “This lady is right. Your name is Li Wei, isn’t it? You gained the trust of a military spouse to deceive her for financial gain, causing discord in her family. You have already violated the law, and when you add up all these charges, they are not insignificant.”

Li Wei was taken aback and immediately panicked. He pointed at Lin Fan and argued, “Officer, you’re only hearing one side of the story! She was the one who approached me first! I never cheated her out of her money; it was all her own choice! I didn’t even know anything about military insignias!”

Li Wei thought to himself that if he ended up in jail, he would carry this stain with him for the rest of his life, and all the efforts he had made before would be in vain!

Lin Fan, upon seeing the situation, smirked inwardly. Had Li Wei really forgotten the old saying: Confession lightens the punishment, resistance brings severity? Did he still harbor any hope at this point?

But now that they were at the police station, she could not easily produce those IOUs. Lin Fan was about to insist on using the military district’s emblem to speak when a voice from outside interrupted.

“On the envelope that contains the money, there’s a red five-pointed star in the corner. Well, that signifies it’s something from the military district. If you don’t want to go to jail, hand over the stuff, let the two policemen verify it, and the truth will come out, won’t it?”

This voice?

Lin Fan was momentarily stunned, then her eyes lit up.

She turned around to see Yan Shun standing at the door, exuding an imposing presence from head to toe. Coupled with his cold, emotionless face at the moment, he looked like a living Yama, the king of the underworld.

However, to Lin Fan’s eyes, this was incredibly reassuring!

“How did you come here?” Lin Fan approached him, surprised by Yan Shun’s sudden appearance.

The moment Yan Shun saw Lin Fan, his gaze softened. “I came to find you, but I didn’t expect you to be dealing with something as well.”

Lin Fan nodded thoughtfully. “Then have a seat for a moment. I’ll resolve this quickly, and you can wait here.”

Chen Fang and Yuan Guo exchanged glances and then stood up straight. They each shook hands with Yan Shun. Chen Fang said, “You must be Lin Fan’s husband, right? Looks like what she said is true. Brother, you have the bearing of a soldier.”

“You flatter me,” Yan Shun replied politely. “I won’t hinder your work; I’ll just wait here, alright?”

“Of course, no problem. Our main focus is mediating civil disputes, trying to turn big problems into small ones and resolving the small ones.” Chen Fang smiled.

When Li Wei saw Yan Shun, he did not know what to do. His heart started racing uncontrollably, and he did not dare to meet Yan Shun’s gaze. His body even trembled involuntarily.

Yan Shun nodded and then casually found a seat to sit down.

At this moment, Lin Fan thought she needed to quickly bring this to a conclusion. It would be better to give Yan Shun an explanation sooner rather than later. Without hesitation, she briskly approached Li Wei, caught him off guard, reached into his bag, and pulled out an envelope, displaying it in front of everyone.

“Officers, take a look. There’s a red five-pointed star on the bottom of this envelope. How could Li Wei not have seen something so conspicuous? He wanted to keep this money for himself and didn’t want to hand it over! Inside, it’s not just 800 yuan; there are also over 100 purchase vouchers for various food items, meat, and fabric!”

Li Wei grew even more flustered. He hadn’t expected there to be an emblem from the military district on it. After all, taking something from the military district was no small matter.

But upon hearing Lin Fan’s words, Li Wei’s emotions surged, and he stood up, pointing at Lin Fan with anger in his reddened eyes. “Nonsense! You’re slandering me! I told you there’s only 500 yuan in there! The total of all the vouchers doesn’t even reach 80!”
