As soon as Lu Zhenghan said this, everyone present turned their gaze to the two of them.

Xia Qiuran blinked her big eyes twice, looking even more puzzled.

Just as he was about to explain, Lu Zhenghan immediately gave him a disapproving look.

"Officer, Xia Qiuran and I have just confirmed our relationship, so I didn't explain the reason directly at the beginning."

"But judging from Comrade Zhao Feng's current attitude, we can't just stay silent. What normal man could stand by and watch his partner being bullied without taking action?" Lu Zhenghan explained with a serious expression.

Zhao Juhua was extremely nervous. If the two were lovers, then the nature of Zhao Feng's beating would be completely different.

If you harass someone's partner and get beaten up, you'll be in the wrong no matter where you go, and you might even get punished by the factory and ridiculed by everyone.

"Nonsense, officers, he's talking nonsense. We've never heard of them being together," Zhao Juhua quickly stepped forward and said to the police.

"I already said we just confirmed our relationship and haven't gone public yet. How did you hear about it?" Lu Zhenghan explained calmly.

Zhao Juhua: "Why didn't you say that before? I think it was a lie you made up to get yourself out of trouble."

"Before, we didn't say it was because we felt the time wasn't right. Besides, is there any need to say anything about this? Have you ever seen a regimental commander accompany his soldiers to set up a street stall?"

Lu Zhenghan's gaze was sharp, his eyes filled with a condescending disdain.

Zhao Juhua unconsciously took a step back, but still refused to believe it.

"That doesn't mean whatever you say goes; we need to prove it."

"We're not married, we have a marriage certificate, how can we prove this?" Xia Qiuran said, blushing.

There are naturally ways to prove that you are dating, and things are not like the feudal society of the past.

Zhao Juhua rolled her eyes, hesitated for a long time, and then spoke.

"Why don't you two kiss? Kissing will prove you're a couple."

The police officer, who was drinking water, almost spat it out and coughed several times.

Zhou Guangming stared blankly at the two of them, his eyes filled with confusion. They had refused so firmly back then, but now they were acting like this. At this moment, he could no longer distinguish between truth and falsehood.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Feng froze on the spot, his face turning deathly pale, as if the last glimmer of light in his eyes had been extinguished.

How could his fiancée be with someone else?

"Zhao Juhua, don't go too far. How can you do something like this in front of others?"

Xia Qiuran's face was flushed, and the blush had spread down to her neck.

Since Lu Zhenghan has already explained their relationship in front of so many people, if she denies it now, she will be harming Lu Zhenghan.

Lu Zhenghan had no choice but to resort to this tactic for the sake of her reputation, so for now, she could only try her best to keep the lie going.

But kissing is too much… Xia Qiuran thought for a moment, then gritted her teeth and grabbed Lu Zhenghan’s big hand.

Her small hand gently covered Lu Zhenghan's palm, their fingers intertwined, and the warm touch instantly intertwined.

Lu Zhenghan's body stiffened as he was gripped, his ear tips turned red, and his heart pounded in his chest like a drum.

"We're holding hands now, is that alright?" Xia Qiuran said quickly, pulling Lu Zhenghan's hand.

Looking at their tightly clasped hands, Zhao Feng felt as if his heart was being squeezed by a machine.

Previously, he had only tugged at Xia Qiuran's finger, which she quickly shook off. Now, she was openly and proactively covering Lu Zhenghan's entire palm.

"Just holding hands isn't enough. That's not how you date. You have to kiss." Zhao Juhua persisted.

Inside the room, the police were completely silent. Zhou Guangming stood silently to the side, as if they were all waiting for the two men's next move.

The two stood there, their faces flushed red, and their palms were covered in fine beads of sweat.

That's enough.

Just as they were at a loss, Zhao Feng suddenly roared, his voice filled with obvious despair.

"Big sister, please stop talking."

After yelling at Zhao Juhua, he turned to look at Lu Zhenghan with eyes that seemed to be coated with poison.

"Lu Zhenghan, what are you so proud of? I've already..."

"Zhao Feng, I advise you to think carefully before you speak. If you walk out of the police station now, I can pretend nothing happened. But if you dare to say another word, I will go to your factory immediately and guarantee you the result you expect."

Lu Zhenghan's brows and eyes were covered with a chilling coldness. He suddenly shouted angrily, his eyes surging with terrifying ferocity, and the air pressure around him was frighteningly low.

Zhao Feng opened his mouth several times, but the words he wanted to say were swallowed back.

The situation is clearly unfavorable to him now. If he continues to slander Xia Qiuran, Lu Zhenghan will definitely not let him off the hook.

No, he can't gamble with his job.

"Xia Qiuran, you can't judge a book by its cover. He has such a bad temper, you'll regret it later."

Zhao Feng avoided Lu Zhenghan's gaze, gave Xia Qiuran a warning, and then ran out.

"Xiaofeng, Xiaofeng!" Yang Yuqin called out as she chased after him.

Yang Yuqin's face turned ashen, as if she had swallowed a fly. Now that the two thousand yuan was out of the question, she couldn't give up the thirty-five yuan. She walked up to Zhou Guangming, still with an arrogant expression.

"Political Commissar Zhou, since things have come to this, and I'm not an unreasonable person, I'll just accept thirty-five yuan."

"What thirty-five! You should be grateful that Zheng Han isn't pursuing your brother's hooliganism now." Zhou Guangming snorted coldly and then walked out.

Zhao Juhua choked and had no choice but to go to the police handling the case.

"Officer, my brother is a victim! He was beaten so badly, you can't just ignore him!"

The police officer shrugged, his eyes filled with disgust: "If we get involved, your brother won't just get punched."

Zhao Juhua stomped her foot angrily on the ground. She should have just asked for the five hundred yuan. Now she had nothing left.

Looking at Xia Qiuran's upturned lips, he became even angrier.

"Hmph, Xia Qiuran, you don't need to be so smug. Just by looking at him, you're obviously a womanizer. You'll be dumped one day."

Xia Qiuran raised an eyebrow and smiled. Seeing Zhao Juhua angry, her mood instantly improved. She held Lu Zhenghan's hand and deliberately teased him.

"Thank you for the compliment. You don't need to worry about that. I just love our Commander Lu's handsome face. Even if he abandons me, I'll still love him."

"Pah... Shameless." Zhao Juhua stood in front of the two of them, her eyes blazing with fury.

"Brother Zhenghan, let's go. Let's not let this kind of person spoil our mood."

Xia Qiuran leaned closer to Lu Zhenghan and deliberately called out in a soft, gentle voice.

Lu Zhenghan felt his heart suddenly tremble, and the tips of his ears involuntarily turned even redder.

Once outside the police station and out of Zhao Juhua's sight, Xia Qiuran quickly released her hand from Lu Zhenghan's, reverting to her usual reserved and polite demeanor.

"Commander, I'm sorry, I was just trying to upset Zhao Juhua."

Lu Zhenghan glanced silently at the hand that Xia Qiuran had just held, his expression seemingly more serious than usual.

"Originally, I just planned to find an excuse to appease them, but now that things have turned out this way, I don't know what those people will say."

Upon hearing Lu Zhenghan's words, Xia Qiuran's fingers intertwined, and she frowned anxiously.

I was so focused on proving that Lu Zhenghan wasn't lying and venting my anger on Zhao Feng's family that I didn't consider the follow-up issues.

"What should I do then? I should have just not said those things."

"You don't need to be too anxious, this is actually easy to solve." Lu Zhenghan lowered his gaze slightly, and a faint smile seemed to appear on the corner of his mouth.
