Old Zeng and Lei Guohong exchanged a glance.

Don't let Xiao Lü's usual carefree and irresponsible attitude fool you; when it really matters, he shows the true colors of a police officer!

"Little Qin, I advise you to confess carefully. If they find out anything after we get back to the village, you won't be treated leniently then," Old Zeng said, playing the bad cop.

Qin Meiru trembled all over, and tears streamed down her face.

This is a lament for his future miserable life.

She hates it so much!

She resented her younger brother's gluttony, which led him to steal grain seeds from the brigade's warehouse, and she hated her parents even more for ruining her marriage with Chang Kun!

Otherwise, the person traveling with Chang Kun by train now wouldn't be that woman named Cheng Min, but myself!

"Xiao Qin, just tell me. Wasting time is useless. We definitely need to find out the results of this matter today."

"If you want to deny it, that's fine with me, but if the investigation results are different, then you'd better think twice."

"Okay!" Qin Meiru sniffled and cried, wetting the clothes she had carefully prepared for the blind date that morning.

"These cornbreads were made from corn seeds that my brother stole from the brigade's warehouse. My parents secretly ground them into cornmeal, and while the villagers were working in the fields, I steamed the cornmeal into cornbreads."

Everyone in the office remained silent.

This family is truly complete.

The division of labor was quite clear: those who stole the seeds, those who disposed of the stolen goods.

"How did your brother manage to steal the corn seeds? Was there no security guard at the place where the seeds were stored?"

As a veteran police officer, Lao Zeng would not be fooled by Qin Meiru's evasiveness; he would definitely pursue the details of stealing the seeds.

"This..." Qin Meiru hesitated for a moment, then gritted her teeth.

Now that things have come to this, there's no use denying it anymore. Even if I don't say anything, my brother will confess everything when I interrogate him later. It's better to confess now and try to get lenient treatment.

"In the seed warehouse of the brigade, there was a security guard. That day, I took the opportunity to talk to him, and my younger brother sneaked into the warehouse while he wasn't looking..."

"You're talking to the security guard?" Old Zeng frowned. So, this Qin Meiru had personally participated in the theft.

"You think it's that easy for your brother to sneak into the warehouse just because you talked to the security guard?"

Qin Meiru hung her head and said, "That security guard... likes me a little, so when I talk to him, he doesn't care about anything else."

"Ha!" Old Zeng turned to look at Lü Jiawei. "They've even resorted to using a honey trap!! You guys are really something!"

Lu Jiawei gritted his teeth, veins bulging on his temples.

I never expected that the person I was set up with on a blind date would be such a scoundrel, willing to sacrifice his body just to steal grain seeds.

Absolutely! Shameless!

What was I thinking, to fall for a woman like that the other day?!

Thinking of this, his face flushed red again.

He realized he was no different from the security guard who was watching the warehouse; both of them were lustful at first sight.

I was careless. Even after Chang Kun reminded me that the Qin family had gone back on their word and demanded more dowry, showing their bad character, I hadn't taken it seriously.

Hou Jun walked up gently and patted Xiao Lü on the shoulder.

"This isn't your fault; you're just unlucky to have encountered such a thing."

Lü Jiawei sighed softly, feeling a little disheartened.

Why is my path to finding a partner so bumpy!

After confessing her story, Qin Meiru closed her eyes tightly, letting her tears flow freely.

Her life is over!

Judging from Lü Jiawei's tone, he would never have anything to do with him again.

Full of confidence and excitement, I went on a blind date, only to be sent to jail by my date. Only those who have experienced it can understand...

By this point, she was too weak to struggle and didn't even want to think about the fate of her parents and younger brother.

I just hope this is a nightmare and that I can wake up soon.

"We've asked enough questions. Who should take him to the police station?"

Stealing grain seeds in the village is not under the jurisdiction of the railway police station; you can only go to the police station to which Qinjiacun belongs.

Lu Jiawei thought for a moment. Since the matter was caused by him, it wouldn't be good to trouble his master, Monkey King, and the others to make the trip.

"Master, this is something I should handle. I'll take her to the police station and follow up to see what the outcome is."

"Hmm, that works too! Little Lü, you need to be aware of this!" Old Zeng pointed at his apprentice, his words carrying a hidden meaning.

Lü Jiawei gave a wry smile: "Master, don't worry, I wouldn't do something like that."

Hou Jun stepped forward and put his arm around Xiao Lü's shoulder: "Brother Hou, I'll go with you. Anyway, there's not much to do at the unit right now. I'll go and talk to the section chief."

Monkey King knew that Xiao Lü had suffered another setback in his blind date, so he decided to accompany him for a walk and a chat.

Qin Meiru was in front, followed by Lü Jiawei and Hou Jun, presenting a warrant for escort.

Just as I stepped out of the police compound, Aunt Song returned from running errands.

"Xiao Lü, are you taking your partner home? Why don't you stay at work a little longer and introduce her to everyone?"

Lü Jiawei was both amused and exasperated. He sighed and nodded, "Take her home..."

Not only will they send her back to her hometown, but they might even go straight to the labor camp and find her a bed.

Seeing that Qin Meiru in front and Lü Jiawei behind looked off, Aunt Song chuckled awkwardly.

"Alright, I have some things to take care of too, I'll be going now..."

Looking back at the three of them, including Lü Jiawei, walking away, he shook his head and muttered to himself, "That Lü, he doesn't cherish such a beautiful girl. It looks like she cried. I wonder why..."

"Since we're free now, why don't we go to Xiao Lü's office and ask around..."

……

On the platform, at Chang Kun's feet, were piles of bags and packages.

Cheng Min wiped his sweat and said, "Why did you bring so much stuff? You look exhausted."

Chang Kun gave a wry smile: "You think I wanted to bring them? Most of them were brought by my mother and the others."

If it weren't for having Cheng Min with me the whole way, and having space that I couldn't use, it would have been so convenient to put all these things in my space.

The two had long since put Qin Meiru's matter out of their minds; such a trivial matter wouldn't spoil their good mood for the trip.

"Chang Kun, Cheng Min, the car hasn't arrived yet?"

Lei Guohong, Lao Zeng, and Xiao Yu rushed over and greeted Chang Kun with smiles when they saw that he hadn't gotten on the bus yet.

"Master, Uncle Zeng...where are Monkey King and Little Lü?"

Lei Guohong waved his hand dismissively, as if to ward off bad luck: "Hey! Those two are taking that Xiao Qin to the police station!"

Cheng Min was taken aback and hurriedly asked, "Did Qin Meiru really steal the brigade's grain?"

"It wasn't just grain they stole; they stole corn seeds meant for autumn planting. Now, their village doesn't know how they're going to plant their autumn corn!"

"Tsk! I never would have guessed that a girl like Qin Meiru would steal!" Cheng Min sighed, thinking that Chang Kun almost married this woman.

"Do you know how she stole it?" Lei Guohong, unaware of Chang Kun's relationship with Qin Meiru, leaned closer and whispered gossip.

"They used a honey trap! They bewitched the guards at the warehouse and managed to steal the grain seeds."

what?

Chang Kun and Cheng Min stared wide-eyed, never expecting that such explosive news was hidden beneath the case of stealing grain seeds.
