Enchanting His Heart: His Little Fox-Chapter 327 - 237: Outside the Restaurant, Ambulance
The little girl ran away, and Zhou Liang smelled a faint fragrance on her.
Unable to distinguish what it was, he turned to look again, thinking it might be something like baby cream applied by adults.
...
Zhou Liang sat down and introduced himself to the woman he was speed dating with.
The woman was considered pretty, but while Zhou Liang drank from his cup, he felt that this woman held no attraction for him.
Having met women like Song Yi, who exude a sense of sophistication and natural charm, Zhou Liang really felt she was just average.
Sometimes, after being surrounded by attractive people for long, your aesthetic standards rise significantly, especially with someone like Tang Si, who is like a male enchantress.
Facing such a refined face every day, Zhou Liang felt that though he wasn’t bad looking, he never felt truly handsome because of Tang Si.
"Isn’t your profession pretty dangerous?" The woman hesitantly asked, looking at him.
"Yes." Zhou Liang said, "There’s a chance it might cost lives. If you’re concerned, that’s okay. Let’s just consider today’s date a failure."
The woman hesitated slightly with her cup in hand: "I’m really sorry, I actually..."
"No need to explain." Zhou Liang smiled gently: "I know you all have concerns. I’ve been on many dates, and the ladies do feel my profession is not ideal."
"I don’t have much time to accompany you in a relationship. Maybe we’re just meant for a lonely end." Zhou Liang’s voice carried a tragic undertone.
The woman pulled her lips into an awkward smile.
Zhou Liang looked at her, took a sip of water, raised his eyebrows slightly, and smiled without speaking.
What wrong have they committed? They’re denied even the chance to meet due to their professions.
Although he no longer had the desire to meet someone, this was a forced situation.
He sighed internally. Why talk about love? Wasn’t exploring the gym equipment and case files in the team just as fulfilling?
"So..." Zhou Liang put down the cup, "Shall I take you home?"
"No need, I’ll just grab a cab, I’ll go pay the bill." The woman said as she picked up her bag, ready to pay.
Zhou Liang: "No need, I’ve already paid."
The woman looked at Zhou Liang with a puzzled expression on her face.
Leaning back in his chair, Zhou Liang smiled slightly: "I knew from the start you wouldn’t like my profession, guessed we wouldn’t eat much, so I paid in advance."
These words made the woman feel a bit embarrassed.
"Sorry, your mom said your job was decent, and the salary stable, but I didn’t know you were in this line. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have agreed to meet, making you come for nothing. Next time, have your mom explain clearly."
"I respect your profession, and thank you for your contribution to the people, but it’s not suitable for daily life."
After saying these words, the woman gave a slight bow and left.
Zhou Liang watched her leave, sighing softly, crossing his legs, and his lips curled mockingly: "Not suitable for daily life, does that mean not fit for daily life?"
He sat there for a few minutes, and then the phone rang.
It was his mother calling.
"Didn’t I tell you to hide it?" His mother angrily said, "You ungrateful child, when will you find a wife?"
Zhou Liang laughed: "Mom, I can’t lie. As a people’s police officer, I’m not supposed to lie."
"Huh." His mother let out a sarcastic laugh: "Don’t pull that on me. I’ve seen you lie plenty during interrogations of criminals. When I ask you to date, haven’t you given me enough excuses?"
His mother continued with a torrent of words.
Zhou Liang, frowning, helplessly dug around his ear, listening silently to his mom’s nagging.
Once the nagging was done, the call was likely to end.
That’s when a crowd suddenly gathered outside, followed by the sound of an ambulance.
Looking outside, Zhou Liang said: "Mom, I’ve got something to attend to here."
After hanging up, Zhou Liang walked out of the restaurant, just as the ambulance left.
He casually asked a bystander: "What happened just now? Why did an ambulance come?"
"A little girl fainted. Maybe she ate something bad, probably food poisoning, now they’re taking her to the hospital for examination."
"I think she probably ate something from this restaurant, or maybe it’s an allergy."
"This restaurant might be under investigation."
Zhou Liang nodded thoughtfully.
As he left, he saw police had already arrived, likely the girl’s family had reported it, and the police came to investigate the situation.
The police response was quite quick.
Must be the colleagues from the sub-bureau.
Zhou Liang wasn’t one for rubbernecking and left in a taxi.
If it’s just food poisoning and operational misconduct, this won’t reach the city bureau.
No deaths, no involvement of drugs, it’s not a criminal case.

Criminal Investigation Corps.
Wen Mu entered and saw Tang Si sitting in the duty room.
The man had a thermos cup by his side, black and looking very high-end.
He had his legs crossed, leaning against the chair, holding a phone, eyes down looking at it.
Wen Mu pursed his lips and walked in slowly: "Bro."
Tang Si heard the sound, put away the phone, looked up at Wen Mu, and his lips curled slowly: "What is it?"
"Brought you some food, Mom said you might be hungry." His tone was mild, placing the things he held onto the table.
"I know you can’t stand me, I’m just here to give you food. I’ll leave now."
Tang Si’s lips still carried a faint smile, not answering Wen Mu.
Wen Mu naturally knew it was time to leave.
He understood Tang Si well; he had always been a cold person, someone he didn’t want to interact with, you’d never be able to interact with him.
The circles he wanted to integrate into, there was none he couldn’t get into.
Wen Mu had seen the most adaptable man, who could bend and stretch, and that was Tang Si.
Just at the doorway, Wen Mu suddenly stopped: "By the way, I just saw sis-in-law at the entrance, said hi, and suggested she come in, but she said she was busy and left."
He felt it necessary to tell Tang Si about it.
Tang Si paused for a second, then smiled: "I know, she texted me."
"Really?" Wen Mu lightly laughed, "Then I spoke out of turn."
Wen Mu left.
Tang Si looked at the food on the table, recalling Wen Mu’s earlier words, and let out a snicker.
When he had no ability, he didn’t see that woman treat him well at all. Now that he could feed himself, did he need this additional support?
Tang Si’s lips curled mockingly as he shook his head, spun his phone in his hand, pocketed it, lit a cigarette, and squinted his eyes, thinking of Wen Mu’s departing words.
Song Yi... did she really come?
