"Your box is back to you, untouched."
In the afternoon, Lu Xue'er arrived alone outside the Civil Affairs Office. She reluctantly returned the box to Qin Huaijun, raised her chin, and said haughtily, "Go in once you have all the documents."
On the day of the divorce, Qin Huaijun had no patience to argue with her. Without saying a word, he went inside, leaving her behind.
Lu Xue'er stomped her foot, "You Qin Huaijun, just you wait."
After saying that, he gritted his teeth and followed.
In any case, you still need to maintain a high stance and not let others think that you were dumped by Qin Huaijun.
After reviewing the couple's documents and the stamped divorce application, the clerk's face darkened, and he asked sternly, "What is the reason for the divorce?"
"He hit me." Lu Xue'er preemptively said, revealing her profile in the process.
The clerk glared at Qin Huaijun, but said to Lu Xue'er, "Comrade, this is an internal conflict between you. You can go to the Women's Federation."
Qin Huaijun said, "I did hit her, but she pushed my mother, and my mother was almost paralyzed and is still in the hospital. The injury on the back of my head was also caused by her hitting me with a stool. I can't live like this anymore."
The clerk was startled, then frowned and looked at Lu Xue'er.
Lu Xue'er snorted, "Serves him right for hitting me first."
Qin Huaijun's face turned ugly, and the clerk's gaze towards her also changed.
"Working-class marriages must be disciplined. I see you've only been married for a little over a year, and you're already talking about divorce. This is irresponsible to both of you. It's normal for couples to quarrel. Go back and study 'Discipline and Discipline' to raise your awareness."
The clerk was reluctant to process divorces and tried to mediate as much as possible.
Qin Huaijun and Lu Xueer refused to comply, saying, "We have provided all the necessary documents. We must get a divorce today."
"Yes, please process it for us quickly."
Goodness.
No one had ever dared to speak to her like that before.
The clerk scoffed inwardly, her expression growing even colder, and her words becoming even more ruthless, "Have you thought it through? If you get divorced, it will be recorded in both of your files, and you can forget about ever being recognized as an outstanding employee in your workplace again."
What?
Qin Huaijun's expression changed drastically.
"What kind of logic is that?"
Lu Xue'er didn't care. She hadn't worked since being dismissed from the performing arts troupe, so it didn't matter if she was remembered.
Seeing that Qin Huaijun found it hard to accept, the clerk raised his chin, pushed the documents back to the two of them, and said slowly, "The reason? The reason is that the family is a fortress, and a fortress must not collapse from within."
Qin Huaijun's face was grim, and Lu Xue'er was anxious because she couldn't get a divorce.
"I'll write it down then, who's afraid of who?" Lu Xue'er said gloatingly.
She doesn't need a promotion, but Qin Huaijun... hahaha... she finally got something on him.
The clerk paused for a moment, then looked up. "Are you sure you want a divorce?"
Qin Huaijun naturally couldn't let the clerk make a note in his file. After taking back the materials, he went to a post office and called Fang Yao, asking her to ask her brother for help.
Fang Yao jumped up excitedly when she heard that he was getting a divorce from Lu Xueer at the Civil Affairs Bureau.
The next second, she learned that the divorce was being blocked, and she couldn't help but curse, "Is the clerk crazy? Huaijun, you wait, I'm going to contact my brother."
With victory in sight, Fang Yao was overwhelmed with joy and, ignoring Huang Jian's instructions, made a phone call to him directly.
After waiting for them for a long time, Guan Shan finally intercepted a useful call record.
"Mission accomplished." He smiled.
His young apprentice, Ke Run, squatted down beside him, fiddling with the messy equipment on the table. "Now we can finally convict them directly, right?"
Guan Shan shook his head, "We haven't finished gathering information on Huang Jian yet. The boss said he'd take him with him on this mission, so we should be back by then."
Ke Run shrugged his shoulders. "I thought that guy was weird from the beginning. It's just that Shi Xinglong is a bit dim-witted and he shares a dorm room with him."
Guan Shan packed his things away. "Huang Jian's matter will eventually implicate quite a few people, so everyone should keep their mouths shut."
Ke Run replied seriously, "Understood."
Huang Jian, who received Fang Yao's call, didn't care about anything else and started cursing, "Are you stupid? I told you not to call me, I'll contact you if I need anything..."
Fang Yao's joy was over, and she realized she had made a mistake.
Trembling, she asked, "Brother... what should we do?"
Huang Jian was doing something over there, and Fang Yao vaguely heard the sound of a telegram being sent. After a while, he spoke, his tone sinister, "I've done right by you, Fang Yao. After you marry Qin Huaijun, don't forget what I told you. If you dare to betray me, my brother and I will go to the Yellow Springs together."
Fang Yao felt a chill run down her spine. "I...I understand, brother."
"Tell Qin Huaijun that the matter is resolved." After saying that, Huang Jian hung up the phone immediately.
The guilt he felt towards his younger sister Fang Yao and the desire to make amends to her completely disappeared.
He thought with frustration that he shouldn't have acted impulsively from the beginning.
By involving Fang Yao and Qin Huaijun, the risk of exposure is increasing, but fortunately, his efforts over the years have not been in vain. Those he has turned to the other side can still protect him for a while.
He had to complete the task assigned to him during this period, and incidentally... kill Lin Xiaoxiao.
After receiving Fang Yao's call, Qin Huaijun immediately returned to the Civil Affairs Office. Lu Xueer was still waiting at the door. She was happy because she thought that the divorce would not only get rid of Qin Huaijun, but also make a mark on Qin Huaijun's file.
No matter what, she's determined to leave today.
Anyone who dares to hit her will pay the price.
“We made a deal, whoever doesn’t stay by my side is a dog.” Lu Xue’er said smugly. “If you admit you’re a dog, I can give you a three-day grace period.”
Three days?
Qin Huaijun sneered inwardly. He would like to extend the deadline by three days, but Fang Yao and Huang Jian couldn't wait any longer.
"Fine, let's get a divorce. Just don't beg me for anything in the future." With those harsh words, he stepped into the Civil Affairs Office once again.
Lu Xue'er angrily cursed him, asking who he was and how he dared to beg him.
The clerk frowned when she saw the two of them return. "Are you really determined to get a divorce? Aren't you afraid of it being recorded in your files?"
Qin Huaijun didn't speak, but Lu Xue'er glanced at him and said, "If you're going to write it down, then write it down quickly."
Just as the clerk was about to say something, someone walked over and whispered something in her ear. Qin Huaijun and Lu Xue'er then saw the clerk's expression change, as if she was somewhat surprised.
After that person left, the clerk's attitude softened considerably. "Give me the materials, and I'll process it for you. I'll let the record-keeping issue slide this time."
"Why?" Lu Xue'er frowned and asked, puzzled.
"Why ask so many questions? We have our own rules." The clerk glanced at her impatiently.
Lu Xue'er felt that Qin Huaijun must have done something, so she turned to look at him.
Sure enough, she saw satisfaction on Qin Huaijun's face.
"As the saying goes, a death sentence may be waived, but a living punishment is hard to escape. This kind of behavior should not be promoted or advocated. Let's punish you by making you sweep the streets for a month."
