Yan Shun sat there, legs crossed, his eyes turning cold at the words.
Chen Fang and Yuan Guo immediately stepped forward to restrain Li Wei. "What are you getting so worked up for? Sit down!"
Lin Fan completely ignored Li Wei's emotions and instead smirked, "Wouldn't it have been better if you admitted it earlier?"
Feng Li remained frozen in a state of doubt, shock, and disbelief. Her entire body began to tremble.
"Li Wei, I never thought you were this kind of person."
After saying this, Feng Li left the police station without looking back.
"Li Li!" Li Wei finally snapped out of it and tried to go after her, but two police officers stopped him.
"You can't leave. According to regulations, we have to detain you. You'll await further trial," Chen Fang said, producing handcuffs to restrain Li Wei.
"Lin Fan! It's all your fault! You've ruined everything for me!" Li Wei vented his anger on Lin Fan, his eyes burning with rage as if he wanted to devour Lin Fan in the next moment.
Lin Fan remained fearless, even provokingly waving an envelope in front of Li Wei. He said coldly, "Li Wei, you can't blame me for this. You brought this upon yourself."
After that, Lin Fan willingly shook hands with Chen Fang and thanked him with a grin. "Thank you, Officer Chen and Officer Yuan, for helping us recover what we've lost so quickly! I'll make sure to publicize your heroic deeds in the future!"
His words made both officers feel a bit embarrassed. Chen Fang responded, "It's our duty to serve the people; it's the least we can do."
Lin Fan did not say anything more, just smiled in silence.
"Oh, by the way, Mrs. Lin Fan, and Mr. Yan Shun, please check if the money in the envelope is missing. If it is, we will further investigate Li Wei's responsibility!"
Lin Fan and Yan Shun exchanged a glance, saying, "That's right."
The envelope already showed signs of being opened. She only briefly glanced inside, feeling excited, but she kept a calm demeanor. Lin Fan said, "It's all there, the amount is correct, and all the purchase receipts are here. Thank you, comrade officer!"
"Not a problem, just glad you got it back!"
Li Wei was quickly taken away. Lin Fan and Yan Shun bid farewell to the two police officers and left the police station.
On the way back, Lin Fan handed the envelope to Yan Shun and said earnestly, "I feel like I owe you an apology. I made a mistake in judgment earlier, causing our family to unnecessarily spend a lot of money and almost getting into trouble. If the military funds and purchase receipts were lost, it would have implicated you even more. These things were all my fault, I'm sorry."
While Yan Shun had witnessed Lin Fan's efforts to recover the money, he did not expect her to apologize to him.
He recalled that ever since the incident in the water, Lin Fan seemed like a changed person, no longer irritable, planning to lose weight and cook herself... Did this mean she wanted to live a peaceful life with him?
"You..." Yan Shun still could not believe it, fearing it might be a dream, and he would wake up to find it all gone.
"Do you think it's not real?" Lin Fan asked with a playful smile.
Yan Shun's uncertain gaze drifted, and at this moment, he truly resembled a cautious kitten... though that analogy wasn't quite accurate, Lin Fan felt her cheeks warming.
But Yan Shun did not say anything, which was his way of agreeing.
Lin Fan did not bother teasing him further. "You mentioned you had something to discuss with me earlier, right? What is it? Tell me."
"It's nothing," Yan Shun felt there was no need to bring it up anymore.
Lin Fan had made a change and intended to live peacefully with him, so he did not need to speculate on whether she would divorce him because of Li Wei.
Yan Shun had thought it through. If Lin Fan asked for a divorce, he would readily agree. He had married Lin Fan out of gratitude in the first place, and if she had someone she liked now, he had no reason to hold her back.
Moreover, losing military property was a serious matter. He wanted to handle his and Lin Fan's affairs before reporting to his superiors.
But now that everything had been recovered, all those thoughts naturally faded away.
Thinking this way, Yan Shun suddenly felt joyful and quickened his pace.
Seeing Yan Shun hurrying ahead, Lin Fan touched her head, not understanding why he had suddenly changed his focus. But seeing him in such high spirits, she smiled.
After returning home, Yan Shun opened the envelope and took out its contents, ready to double-check everything.
Although Lin Fan had said at the police station that the amount was correct, he had clearly noticed a flicker of surprise in her eyes at that moment, making him feel something was amiss.
Just as Lin Fan entered the house, Yan Shun had finished counting.
Yan Shun looked at Lin Fan in astonishment and pointed at the envelope on the table. "You noticed it back at the police station, didn't you?"
