After four years of living alone after marrying far away, he went back to his parents' home and

Before this, Lan Yujuan was unaware that the two not only knew each other, but also seemed to have a history of conflict.

Right now, the most important thing is to determine the authenticity and price of the watch.

So she recounted the whole story briefly.

After listening, both parties expressed their understanding and temporarily put aside their grudges.

"The people who conducted the investigation have all arrived, but what about the two people who went to the restroom? Why haven't they come back yet?" Lan Qingqing muttered nervously in a low voice.

Whether she will have to pay compensation, and how much, depends on the outcome.

The mediator immediately got up and walked out, saying, "Please sit and wait a moment while I go take a look."

Unexpectedly, just as the mediator reached the door, a police officer jogged towards them, smiling as he walked:

"Oh dear, you'd better go check on her right away!"

"Your two clients didn't use the main entrance; they climbed over the wall behind the toilet and accidentally twisted their ankles!"

And after hearing that, his eyes widened immediately, "Huh?"

"Where are the two of them now?"

The police officer, clutching his stomach, laughed and said, "One of them jumped over the wall and escaped!"

"As soon as he jumped off the wall, he ran into Old Wang, who was coming back from running errands, and he was immediately pulled back."

"Luckily, I happened to be passing by and patiently explained the situation, so Old Wang didn't arrest him as a criminal suspect."

"The one who was brought back is sitting in the lobby outside with the one who twisted his ankle!"

"But don't worry too much, Old Wang knows how to set bones. He felt it and said the bone wasn't broken, and a couple of massages would fix it."

Another fifteen minutes were wasted. The two, who were using the excuse of going to the toilet but were actually secretly preparing to escape, were brought back.

The mediator was very puzzled, sat down and scratched his head, saying:

"You two called the police, so why did you sneak off?"

"Just stick to the facts, make sure both sides explain things clearly, and then the matter will be resolved."

In a flash, the mediator sensed something was wrong.

"Could it be that you two did something else that you're afraid people will find out?"

The two unlucky guys, who had failed to escape and were brought back, immediately became tense.

"No, no!"

"It's a misunderstanding, all a misunderstanding!"

"We were just bored and saw that the wall was pretty low, so we thought we'd practice our skills and try to climb over it..."

Among them, the watch expert who had sprained his ankle quietly reached out and gave the foreman a little push.

The foreman, having been subtly hinted at, instantly understood and immediately said in a dry voice:

"Officer, maybe we should just call it quits!"

"It's just a watch. It's already broken. Anyway, it was a gift from someone else, and I didn't pay for it. I won't pursue it."

"Besides, it's not easy for a young girl to work. Even if the appraisal turns out to be worth 20 yuan, she still can't afford to pay it!"

"Let's leave it at that; we won't pursue this further!"

"My friend sprained his ankle, and the injury can't be delayed. I need to hurry and take him to the hospital!"

The mediator was surprised that the other party wanted to drop the case as soon as the appraisers arrived.

"Lan Qingqing, the other party has decided not to pursue the matter against you. Do you agree?"

Lan Qingqing was surprised that the foreman, who had previously vowed to get to the bottom of things, suddenly changed his mind.

On the one hand, she felt that if things ended there, she could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

On the other hand, Lan Qingqing felt extremely unwilling.

After all, she knew from beginning to end that she had never bumped into the supervisor's watch; it was all a staged performance by the other party.

If we just let it go, it would make the other party seem magnanimous for not pursuing the matter, but I'll be stuck with this unfounded accusation from now on.

Just as she was struggling with her decision, Lan Yujuan, who was standing next to her, took her hand.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here!"

"If it's your fault, we'll admit it and compensate you accordingly. If it has nothing to do with you, we must investigate thoroughly!"

"Don't let bad guys get away with it, and don't let yourself suffer."

After hearing this, Lan Qingqing felt much more confident.

Just then, Zhong Ping, who was sitting with her legs crossed next to her, couldn't sit still any longer and asked curiously:

"What kind of watch is it? Why are they demanding 20 in compensation right off the bat?"

"Where's the watch? Let's take a look!"

Sitting opposite Zhong Ping was the owner of a luxury watch buyback studio, who couldn't help but chime in:

"Miss Lan, now that we're here, let's check the time first!"

The mediator immediately stood up, took out a key, opened the cabinet, and took the appraisal certificate and the damaged watch intact.

Zhongqing opened her small leather suitcase and put on white gloves.

As soon as he picked up the watch, his expression changed, and he said with a look of disgust:

"They dare to ask for 20 for this watch? I wouldn't even take it for 200."

After saying that, he immediately put the watch back on the table, too lazy to even take it apart.

The other shopkeeper at the luxury watch buyback store across the street picked up the appraisal report and glanced at it.

"The report is fine, but..."

All eyes turned to the puzzling recycling shop owner. "But what?"

The owner of the recycling shop smiled meaningfully and pointed to the appraisal report, noting the name of the appraisal agency and the individuals involved.

"If I remember correctly, the above-mentioned unit was deregistered last year for some special reasons."

"And this colleague, their license should have been revoked, right? I'm curious, are they still qualified to issue licenses?"

The comrade who failed to escape and twisted his ankle kept his head down looking at his phone the whole time, acting as if he wasn't the person everyone was talking about.

Upon hearing this, Zhong Ping immediately stood up and took the certificate of authenticity. "Let me see! Is this even possible?"

To be on the safe side, Zhong Ping even took out her phone and pulled out last year's detailed announcement.

The mediator took the phone, compared the images, and his face immediately turned green.

"You actually dared to commit perjury! You've got some nerve!"

Seeing that things were not going well, the foreman immediately apologized and begged for forgiveness:

"We're sorry, we were wrong!"

"This watch of mine is really just for show; it's a fake and not worth much."

"But it's true that Lan Qingqing broke my watch. I just want her to pay me a little more money."

"Let's leave this matter here! We're willing to apologize!"

After saying that, the supervisor immediately rushed to Lan Qingqing and apologized.

His current state is completely different from when he came in.

Zhong Ping found the whole thing rather boring, so she packed her things, said goodbye to Lan Yujuan, and prepared to leave.

Unexpectedly, the owner of the luxury watch buyback shop suddenly said:

"Hmm, why does this watch case look so familiar?"

Zhong Ping paused, turned around, and frowned, asking, "What do you mean?"

The owner of the luxury watch buyback shop scratched his brow and chuckled:

"This watch is really interesting. Although the inside is fake, the case is actually real!"

"Look at this back, there's a unique code; it's a custom-made piece."

Upon hearing this, the man who had been silently spraining his ankle turned pale instantly.

With a "thud!", the phone slipped from his grasp and fell to the ground.
