Qi Xiaoyan held the watch in her own hand and refused to give it to Guo Cuicui no matter what.

"Officer, Qi Xiaoyan stole my watch! I'm reporting this to the police!" Guo Cuicui panicked. Even if the engagement was called off, she wouldn't return the watch. Her family probably had the money to buy another watch, but they didn't have the ration coupons.

Old Wu looked at Qi Xiaoyan and said, "Isn't what you're doing inappropriate?"

Qi Xiaoyan glared and said, "Officer, you heard it too. She wants to break off the engagement with my second brother. Since the engagement is broken off, all the betrothal gifts that our family sent must be returned to us. You know, my second brother's allowance in the army isn't much, and this is his hard-earned money. I've already sent someone to inform my father and Guo Cuicui's father to break off the engagement on the spot."

Xiao Chen was taken aback and said, "Then you can just ask for it back after the engagement is called off, right?"

“Of course not. That despicable couple has no character. If Guo Cuicui takes such a valuable item, she won’t get it back,” Qi Xiaoyan said, refusing to hand over the watch no matter what.

Old Wu is having a headache. He's brought back a mess. These people haven't committed a crime; it's just a moral issue.

When Guo Cuicui heard Qi Xiaoyan say this, she scolded, "I haven't broken off the engagement yet. I'm still your second brother's girlfriend, and that thing is still mine."

"Hmph, if you don't break off the engagement, we will," Qi Xiaoyan said. "Just wait, both families should arrive tonight, and we'll be waiting."

"This is a police station. What do you think this is?" Xiao Chen said angrily. He thought it was a place for arguing and there was a case going on. He didn't expect that people would come here to mediate a broken engagement.

He Tiantian stepped forward and said with a smile, "Officers, Qi Rongjun has shed blood and sweat in the army. Because of his work, he can't go home often. Now that something like this has happened, it's time for us, his family, to step in. If we let people like Guo Cuicui run rampant, wouldn't that leave those who shed blood and sweat in the army with nothing to worry about?"

Old Wu, a former soldier himself, nodded and said, "Yes, you're right. Since we've brought you here today, let's resolve this matter amicably. Now it's up to you whether you choose voluntary mediation or to follow the proper procedures."

Qin Hai was taken aback, and quickly said, "Mediation, mediation."

If they follow the proper procedures, it will inevitably alarm their workplace, and then they will all lose their jobs.

"Why mediate...?" Guo Cuicui acted arrogantly. Her father was also the village party secretary, so why should she be afraid of Qi Xiaoyan?

"Shut up!" Qin Hai said sharply, glaring at Cuicui.

Guo Cuicui was stunned again. Qin Hai had never been so strict with her before, but she liked Qin Hai and dared not say anything.

Meanwhile, Niu Lili quickly sent someone to inform Secretary Qi of Qijia Village.

Qin Hai forced a fawning smile and said, "I have something to do, can I go now?"

"No way!" Qi Xiaoyan sneered. "You have the ability to seduce and sabotage, but you don't have the ability to take over?"

Qi Xiaoyan's words made Qin Hai so angry he felt like he was going to vomit blood!

"This...this..." Qin Hai rubbed his hands awkwardly. He wanted to dump Guo Cuicui, but this was a police station. What he was most worried about was if Guo Cuicui accused him of indecent assault, which would be a crime.

"Don't argue," Xiao Chen said, looking at Qi Xiaoyan. "Is this supposed to be mediation?"

Qi Xiaoyan looked at He Tiantian. Things had escalated to this point, and she wanted to teach the two of them a lesson.

He Tiantian whispered, "Wait for your dad to come."

However, Guo Cuicui is hateful, but since it concerns Qijia Village and Guojia Village, it's not something Qi Xiaoyan can decide. Let's wait for her father to come.

"Whether to mediate or go through the proper channels, let's wait for my dad to come and then decide," Qi Xiaoyan said. "Thank you both, but this matter must be resolved."

Old Wu chuckled and said, "Yes, this kind of thing can't be delayed. If it were an ordinary person, it would just be an ordinary dispute. But since it involves your second brother, it can't be handled like an ordinary matter."

Soldiers are highly respected nowadays. Even though they are not engaged in military marriages, they are still properly married and their engagements are handled accordingly.

So these people waited there.

The police station has a canteen, but Qi Xiaoyan, Guo Cuicui, and the others have to pay for their own meals. Fortunately, they all have money and tickets, so they don't have to go hungry.

Now, Niu Lili wrote a note and sent someone to deliver the letter by bicycle at top speed.

In the afternoon, Secretary Qi, who was busy with spring plowing at home, received the note and, disregarding everything else, had someone drive an oxcart to find the village secretary of Guojia Village.

If it's true, then break off the engagement; if it's a misunderstanding, then shake hands and make peace.

When the village party secretary of Guojia Village saw that Secretary Qi had passed by, he said that the younger generation of both families had been detained in the police station. Without having time to ask in detail, he hurriedly followed Secretary Qi onto the oxcart, but he also brought two or three people with him.

"Brother Qi, what exactly happened?" Secretary Guo asked cautiously. "I got Cuicui a temporary job at the textile factory, and she was doing just fine. How did she end up in the police station?"

Secretary Qi looked at Secretary Guo with difficulty and said, "I'm not really sure either. I just received a note. Take a look."

Although Niu Lili's note was short and slanted, it still clearly explained the main points.

Secretary Guo stared in disbelief, stammering, "Brother Qi, this is absolutely impossible. Cuicui is very satisfied with Rong Jun, how could she possibly be interested in someone else?"

That was his own daughter; he couldn't possibly contradict himself.

"Sigh!" Secretary Qi sighed, "Whether it is true or not, we'll find out once we send someone out."

Secretary Guo felt bitter. Could this brat have really done such a thing?

Qi Rongjun was a company commander. He felt that his daughter, a country girl, was not good enough for him, so he went to great lengths to find her a temporary job in the county town. He thought that as a worker, a city girl, she was worthy of Qi Rongjun.

But...but...sigh...

They traveled in silence until they reached the county town, when it was already dark.

At the police station, Lao Wu and Xiao Chen were on duty, living directly at the station, taking turns watching over Guo Cuicui, Qi Xiaoyan, and others.

It was Xiao Chen's turn to be on duty at that moment. When he saw Secretary Qi arrive, he was overjoyed. He quickly tried to smooth things over so that they could go back and rest. Staying at the police station all the time would be unacceptable!

Guo Cuicui felt more confident when she saw her father arrive.

There are two things to do now: first, cancel Qi Rongjun's engagement; second, take this opportunity to solidify your relationship with Qin Hai.

“Dad, Dad…” Guo Cuicui ran over. “Dad, I’ve only met Qi Rongjun once, and I can’t even remember what he looks like now. I want to break off the engagement.”

Secretary Guo prayed all the way, hoping it wasn't what he suspected. But as soon as he entered the door, his daughter's words almost made him collapse.

In front of everyone, Party Secretary Guo slapped his daughter across the face and said, "Shut up!"

Such a wonderful marriage, others would kill for it, and this brat is pushing it away. (To be continued.)
