In the commune, in the only public security brigade.
Inside the hall, slogans hung on the walls, simple yet dignified. At this moment, only Song Yueying remained, sitting idly on a long bench in the rest area.
She looked up at the portrait of the great man hanging directly in front of her and his quotes beside it. After a while, feeling a slight soreness in her neck, she lowered her head again.
"Sigh, when will my brother finally come out!" Song Yueying muttered boredly.
She followed Qi Yanjue to take the three men to the police station, which startled the police officers.
The statement was concise and to the point, explaining the ins and outs of the matter. After taking notes, the police officer asked the two men for their identities and addresses.
She didn't want to talk, so Qi Yanjue had no choice but to take out his military officer's ID. The older police officer's eyes gleamed with the predatory light of a wolf eyeing its prey when he saw the ID.
He immediately asked Qi Yanjue for help.
Then Qi Yanjue followed the police officers inside, and she sat alone in the hall waiting for him to come out.
Gradually, her vision began to blur, and then her eyelids started to droop uncontrollably.
At this moment, three men and one woman came out from inside.
The two men and one woman were wearing police uniforms; they were police officers from the local police brigade.
The one not wearing a uniform was tall and imposing; it was Qi Yanjue.
Qi Yanjue walked ahead with an older policeman. The older policeman smiled broadly, "Captain Qi, thank you so much for your help this time."
"Captain Li, you're too kind," Qi Yanjue replied calmly.
Captain Li waved his hand and said, "I'm not just being polite; I'm sincerely thanking you. You've solved a huge problem for our police brigade."
Apart from Qi Yanjue, none of the three police officers noticed the little girl sitting on the long bench.
As soon as he came out, Qi Yanjue saw Song Yueying sitting on the long bench. He spoke to Captain Li calmly, "I'm just helping out, Captain Li, don't be so polite."
The little girl was looking down, seemingly lost in thought. Wait a minute, her tiny head bobbed up and down like a chick pecking at rice.
He wasn't thinking about anything; he was just dozing off.
Did he get so sleepy while waiting for him?
How big is this little girl's heart? She can actually sleep in the police station?
Qi Yanjue suppressed the urge to sigh and took a step towards her...
"Captain Qi is too modest. We have all witnessed your abilities." The policewoman took a few quick steps to block his way, her eyes fixed on Qi Yanjue.
"Captain Qi, hello! My name is Luo Ying, and I am a civilian staff member of the Qingyuan Commune Public Security Brigade." Female police officer Luo Ying introduced herself generously.
Luo Ying extended her hand, waiting to shake hands with Qi Yanjue, her eyes revealing no concealment of her appreciation and admiration for him.
Qi Yanjue frowned and ignored Luo Ying.
Luo Ying said with admiration, "For you, it may just be a small favor. But for us, you've done us a huge favor."
"Captain Qi, we really owe you a huge debt of gratitude for catching those three robbers and bringing them to our police station. You've been a huge help to us."
"You have no idea how cunning those three robbers were."
“We received reports from the public a long time ago that three men were robbing people on the road. They were armed and very dangerous.”
"It was also because they were armed that the people dared not clash with them and could only obediently hand over their money and tickets."
“That’s right!” The male police officer next to him finally seized the opportunity to speak, “We’ve set up ambushes several times to try to capture them, but they’ve escaped using all sorts of methods.”
"Yes, yes, Captain Qi, you've really been a great help to our police brigade."
"To express our gratitude to you, let's invite you to our canteen for lunch today," Luo Ying said, taking the opportunity to extend the invitation.
Captain Li and the male police officers also enthusiastically echoed his sentiments.
Despite the three men's enthusiastic invitation, Qi Yanjue declined, saying, "No need. It is a soldier's duty to rid the people of harm."
Hearing the sound, Song Yueying groggily opened her eyes. Perhaps she was too sleepy, as her eyelids felt heavy, so she simply closed her eyes again and continued sleeping.
Comrade Luo Ying's height is not short among female comrades. But compared to Qi Yanjue's height, it is completely incomparable.
Therefore, Luo Ying was able to use her body to block Qi Yanjue's path. However, she couldn't block his view; he clearly saw Song Yueying wake up for a moment.
Then, she closed her eyes and continued to sleep.
"Comrade Qi, you've helped our brigade so much, it's only right that we treat you to a meal," Luo Ying advised, still wanting to try and persuade them further.
Over the years, she has met many men, but Qi Yanjue is the one who best suits her taste.
Qi Yanjue's overall demeanor clearly indicated that he grew up in a big city. He was capable, held an important position in the military, and had a bright future ahead of him.
If she could marry Captain Qi, she could go with him to his military post after the wedding. They could live in the family compound, where she wouldn't have to do any work and could still live a comfortable life.
It sounds wonderful.
Captain Li also chimed in to persuade Qi Yanjue, "Yes, yes, we'd like to discuss the methods and approaches for interrogating prisoners with you again during dinner."
The male police officer leaned close to Captain Li and whispered a reminder, "Captain, it's almost 2 p.m., and we've run out of food in the canteen."
The cafeteria is now not only out of food, but the cooks who prepare the food have also gone home.
Captain Li frowned, then hardened his heart and said, "Our canteen is out of food. That's alright, we can invite Captain Qi to eat at the state-run restaurant."
This Captain Qi is clearly no ordinary person; his demeanor is something that rural farmers could never possess.
Talk to him more; it won't hurt to build a relationship. Having a meal together would be even better, as it would deepen your bond.
Unfortunately, Luo Ying had been talking so much that they hadn't had a chance to speak.
Seeing that Captain Li was helping her keep her people, Luo Ying instantly perked up. She felt that winning over Captain Qi would increase her chances of becoming an officer's wife.
"Captain Qi..." Luo Yinggang called out shyly.
Suddenly, a gust of wind swept past her side, and the man who had been blocking her path disappeared.
She looked questioningly at her male colleague across from her.
Her male colleague pointed behind her, and at the same time, a conversation began. Luo Ying suddenly turned around to look behind her.
"Why are you sleeping here?" Qi Yanjue looked down at the little girl sitting on the long bench.
Her big, watery eyes, filled with a sense of confusion and languor, resembled those of a little animal that hadn't woken up yet.
Song Yueying said irritably, "Waiting for you! You went to do your work with them, and I'm all alone in the hall. I'll wait and wait until I get sleepy and then I'll go to sleep."
"Waiting for you!" These three words struck a chord with Qi Yanjue. He coughed lightly to cover his discomfort. "So, are you awake now? We have to go."
He even fell asleep while waiting, which was his fault. He got so busy that he forgot she was waiting outside.
"To be able to speak to you so clearly, you must be considered lucid, right?" Song Yueying replied, feigning uncertainty.
Hearing Song Yueying's words, Qi Yanjue immediately concluded that she was conscious. So he asked her, "Shall we leave here now?"
“I think it’s a good idea,” Song Yueying said, standing up.
The man she had her eye on was standing in front of a young girl. The girl had a fair face and long hair braided into a large plait that hung down in front of her chest.
She remembered the little girl; she had come with Captain Qi.
Who is the person who came with Captain Qi? What is her relationship with Captain Qi?
Luo Ying suppressed the jealousy welling up inside her and walked to stand beside Qi Yanjue. She first glanced shyly at Qi Yanjue, and then looked at the little girl.
She shouldn't be twenty years old; she's still in the early budding stage of youth. A young girl like her, besides her pretty face, she has nothing else to offer.
Luo Ying immediately stopped worrying. Captain Qi was an upright soldier who wouldn't ruin his reputation for a young girl and risk being labeled as an old man dating a young woman.
If she were Captain Qi, she would definitely choose this beautiful budding flower.
She admitted the girl was pretty, and would definitely be even prettier in a few years. But that would be years from now; for now, the girl was just a tender flower bud.
A few years later, she and Captain Qi had two children.
While Luo Ying was sizing up Song Yueying, Song Yueying was also looking at Luo Ying. However, she was simply observing without giving any opinion of Luo Ying.
"Hello, little sister, my name is Luo Ying, and I'm a clerical worker in the commune's public security brigade." Luo Ying introduced herself first, then smiled and asked, "What's your name?"
"No comment." Song Yueying's answer was only these four words, concise and to the point. It also indicated that she did not want to get to know Luo Ying.
"What did you say?" Luo Ying thought she had misheard, and the smile on her face turned into astonishment.
"I won't repeat myself." Song Yueying's reply remained concise.
Luo Ying stared at Song Yueying in disbelief, her jealousy turning into anger. She took a deep breath, trying to suppress the rising rage within her.
Even so, Luo Ying's voice still rose a little: "How can you talk like that?"
"You have absolutely no manners or manners. Do your family members know that this is how you talk to people?"
"Whether I'm polite or not, whether I'm well-mannered or not, is none of your business," Song Yueying retorted directly. "Also, don't yell at me; I've been afraid of dogs since I was a child."
If you say she's ill-mannered, is she herself very well-mannered?
"You called me a dog." Luo Ying's face turned red with anger, and tears began to well up in her eyes.
Song Yueying spread her hands, her face innocent and sincere, "I never said anything like that. You're the one who took it personally. It has nothing to do with me."
"You...you..." Luo Ying was furious. She turned her head to look at Qi Yanjue, hoping that Qi Yanjue would speak up for her.
Unfortunately, she was disappointed. Qi Yanjue not only didn't speak up for her, but he didn't even glance at her.
Luo Ying angrily questioned, "Captain Qi, wasn't she someone you brought?"
Song Yueying looked at Qi Yanjue with a half-smile, waiting for him to say something.
Captain Li and the male police officer felt embarrassed by Luo Ying's exasperated state. Looking at Song Yueying, they thought this young girl was truly fearless.
In just a few words, Luo Ying's anger was ignited to its peak.
“That’s right, I brought her. I’ll take her away now.” With that, Qi Yanjue grabbed Song Yueying’s arm and turned to leave with her.
As Qi Yanjue led the way, Song Yueying asked with some concern, "Won't there be any problems if we leave like this?"
"No." Qi Yanjue withdrew his hand and said apologetically in a low voice.
Song Yueying didn't know why he was apologizing to her, and was just about to speak when three police officers caught up, followed even by Luo Ying, the PR person who spoke with an air of superiority.
"Captain Qi, Captain Qi." Captain Li quickly caught up. "I'm so sorry! Our comrade misspoke. I apologize on her behalf."
"No need, we'll be going now. Captain Li, please wait." Qi Yanjue glanced at Captain Li, but didn't stop walking.
Seeing that Qi Yanjue showed no sign of stopping, Captain Li knew that he was angry, and he now regretted his previous attitude of just watching the show.
He naturally noticed that Luo Ying had designs on Qi Yanjue, but he didn't stop her out of consideration for Luo Ying's father.
He hadn't expected that his leniency towards Luo Ying would offend Captain Qi from Beijing. Captain Li knew that regret was useless; the one who tied the knot must untie it.
He turned around and winked at Luo Ying.
Catching a glimpse of Captain Li's actions out of the corner of her eye, Song Yueying smiled. She had fully awakened the moment Captain Li invited Qi Yanjue to lunch.
She heard everything they said. The policewoman named Luo Ying had taken a liking to Qi Yanjue, and Captain Li noticed it but didn't stop her; instead, he helped her get closer to him.
Song Yueying glanced at Qi Yanjue's handsome face. Being good-looking really is an advantage! They're not even divorced yet! And he's already got suitors?
To be honest, she didn't like this police officer named Luo Ying being her sister-in-law.
Receiving Captain Li's hint, Luo Ying braced herself and jogged a few steps to block Qi Yanjue and Song Yueying's path. "Captain Qi, I apologize for my inappropriate words just now."
Qi Yanjue frowned, but did not respond to Luo Ying's words.
Why does this woman always like to block other people's way? Song Yueying frowned, looking just like a well-behaved younger sister following her older brother.
Qi Yanjue and Song Yueying remained silent, feeling both angry and somewhat embarrassed.
Captain Li and the male police officer exchanged a helpless glance, neither knowing what to say to ease the tension.
Luo Ying's expression faltered; in her heart, she not only cursed Song Yueying but also harbored resentment towards Qi Yanjue. She vowed that once Qi Yanjue fell in love with her, she would make him suffer.
She would never easily agree to marry him.
"Um..." Captain Li started to say something, but was interrupted by a clear voice.
"Captain Li, may I ask you a question?" Song Yueying asked with a smile.
Having his words interrupted, Captain Li was somewhat displeased. His gaze shifted to Song Yueying beside Qi Yanjue; the girl was quite pretty.
Captain Li's displeasure vanished instantly, and he nodded with a smile, "Sure, sure, little girl, what question do you want to ask me?"
"Does our commune have a bus to the county right now?" Song Yueying asked.
As soon as Song Yueying asked this question, Qi Yanjue knew what she meant.
