Long Xiaohan didn't understand and looked at Tang Xin in confusion.

Tang Xin explained: "Someone couldn't hold back any longer."

Long Xiaohan looked at the tied-up woman again, "What happened to her?"

Tang Xin turned around and glanced at the pool of liquid on the ground. "She wanted to throw that on me, but she failed."

Long Xiaohan followed his line of sight and looked at the pool of liquid on the ground. His brows suddenly tightened and his face became even more gloomy.

He recognized what it was at a glance. The floor tiles had been corroded by the liquid and a hole had been formed.

"Did you call the police?"

Tang Xin nodded: "I have reported it, it will probably be here soon."

As soon as he finished speaking, two policemen came over.

"Hello, are you the ones who called the police?"

Tang Xin responded, "Yes, police officer, I was the one who called the police. This woman wanted to throw sulfuric acid on me. There is evidence over there."

One policeman took the woman to the car, and another policeman took photos for evidence. After they were done, they said to Tang Xin, "Madam, we'd like to trouble you to go to the police station with us and make a statement."

Tang Xin would naturally cooperate. Long Xiaohan drove Tang Xin behind the police car all the way to the police station.

When they arrived at the police station, Tang Xin explained the whole process and all his judgments.

There are some things that Tang Xin must make clear. After all, the police don't know the whole picture, and any missed detail may leave the Tang family with an opportunity to take advantage.

She would never give the Tang family this opportunity!

When they came out of the police station, it was already dark. Long Xiaohan wrapped a scarf around Tang Xin and said, "Do you want to eat out tonight? If we go home and cook now, it will probably be very late before we can eat. I'm afraid you'll be hungry."

Tang Xin looked around and found that the weather was particularly cold today.

"I want to eat hot pot."

This kind of weather is perfect for hot pot.

Long Xiaohan smiled and replied: "Okay."

Long Xiaohan took Tang Xin to a hot pot restaurant. There were quite a few people queuing in front of the restaurant. Tang Xin's eyebrows tightened: "With so many people, it will take a long time to queue, right?"

Long Xiaohan said: "No need."

After saying that, she led Tang Xin directly into the store, and the waiter at the door did not stop him.

The people in the queue behind started to shout in displeasure: "Hey, what's going on? How come they can go in right after they arrive? We've been waiting in line for so long and we haven't even had a meal yet! They just jumped in line and added three more people to the queue. What kind of character is that?"

The complaints were shut out directly.

Tang Xin turned around in surprise: "Isn't this a bad idea..."

Before she finished speaking, the manager on duty came over and said, "Mr. Long, everything has been arranged for you. Please follow me."

Tang Xin was stunned, this scene seemed a little familiar!

Then, she asked Long Xiaohan tentatively: "Have you made an appointment a long time ago?"

Long Xiaohan just smiled and said nothing.

The two entered the private room, and the manager asked, "Mr. Long, today's mutton was airlifted from City N this morning, and..."

After the manager's introduction, Tang Xin understood one thing.

The ingredients here are really great, all of them are airlifted from the place of origin on the same day, and the emphasis is on getting the best and freshest ingredients.

Long Xiaohan asked Tang Xin to order, but Tang Xin thought it was too much trouble: "Just take care of it. You know what I like anyway."

After Long Xiaohan took the order, he started to use hot water to scald Tang Xin’s tableware.

Tang Xin couldn't help laughing as she watched: "You're like this on your first day."

Long Xiaohan just glanced at her and said, "Good habits should be maintained."

Tang Xin had a bold guess, "Long Xiaohan, could this store be part of your Long family's business?"

This was what happened last time in Ya Zhai. Afterwards, she thought about it for a long time and there was only one possibility: that Ya Zhai’s store was related to Long Xiaohan.

But what is strange is that from the way Long Xiaohan gets along with the Long family, it can be felt that Long Xiaohan is not involved in the Long family's business. Could it be that Long Xiaohan has a small share?

In fact, for a family as big as the Long family, it is normal for Long Xiaohan, as a descendant of the Long family, to go for a meal even if he does not have shares.

But Tang Xin could tell from the tone and attitude of the manager when talking to Long Xiaohan just now that the manager definitely didn't act like he was facing a child of aristocratic family. Instead, it was more like he was reporting to the boss, especially when he emphasized the freshness of the ingredients, which was very obvious.

Long Xiaohan smiled faintly and admitted it directly: "It is, but it's not! I invested in this store, and the Long family has nothing to do with it!"

Tang Xin was not too surprised and said with a smile: "No wonder you are so generous as to buy several floors of apartments in a building! If you really rely on your allowance, it will probably only be enough to pay the property management fee."

Tang Xin was not looking down on Long Xiaohan's profession, she was just stating a fact.

After Long Xiaohan finished scalding the tableware, he poured Tang Xin a cup of tea: "When I bought so many apartments, I thought that when grandpa and dad get older, we can move in with them. Living in the same building will make it easier to take care of them, but they won't affect each other."

Tang Xin said: "Then there is no need to buy so many sets!"

Long Xiaohan bought at least ten properties in that building. If only the three of them lived there, they would not be able to occupy all ten houses.

Long Xiaohan continued to explain: "Besides that, I wanted to buy a few more sets just in case. Many of my comrades-in-arms come from poor families. What if..."

Tang Xin immediately understood what Long Xiaohan meant. She didn't let him finish the rest of his words and held his hand: "Alright, no need to continue reporting. I understand."

Some words are so cruel that they are better left unsaid.

Soldiers are in danger at all times. Even in peacetime, these people are always at the forefront of danger.

For them, the saying “I don’t know which will come first, tomorrow or an accident” is more appropriate.

Long Xiaohan shook Tang Xin's hand in return: "Xin'er, thank you."

After the two of them finished eating a hot pot, Tang Xin suddenly felt a lot more relaxed.

It feels like I've been "putting out fires" all day today, it's really tiring.

The two walked out of the hot pot restaurant. There were still people waiting for a table at the door, and the person who had just questioned Long Xiaohan and Tang Xin for cutting in line was also there.

However, it wasn’t that he hadn’t gotten his turn yet, but that he had been turned away!

Seeing Long Xiaohan and Tang Xin coming out, the man immediately came forward and said, "Big guy, you just cut in line and made me miss my meal, do you know that?"

Long Xiaohan looked at the man coming towards him aggressively and subconsciously protected Tang Xin behind him.

Tang Xin looked at the man jokingly and couldn't help but admire him.

It’s so cold. Are you standing outside in the cold for so long just to get slapped in the face?

Is this person a masochist?

Before Long Xiaohan could speak, the manager came over with a few waiters: "Sir, I have just made it very clear to you that our store refuses customers like you to enter the store."

The man had just had a conflict with the waiter, and the manager refused to let him into the store on the grounds that he was afraid that he would threaten other customers dining.

The man was not convinced, so he waited at the door, wanting to wait for Long Xiaohan and Tang Xin to come out so that he could vent his anger on them and extort some money from them.

Then he said, "I didn't enter your store. I just wanted to argue with this big guy. What? Is that getting in the way of your business?"
