Chapter 134: The Internet Swindler in the Rotisserie!

When it came to barbecue, it was best to go for the buffet option. Especially for people like them, who trained every day and had big appetites due to their high physical activity levels, an all-you-can-eat buffet was the way to go.

Zhang Chenglong took Su Xuan to a barbecue restaurant in the city. It seemed like he was a regular here. He greeted the staff like an old friend and then introduced the place to Su Xuan.

“Su Xuan, 1’11 tell you, even though this place is a buffet, the food is really fresh.”

“They also have a wide variety of options.”

“We can even get a little hotpot later if you want.”

“But let me be clear, I’m not a fan of fishy stuff. So if you want seafood, we can have it a bit later. I can handle it when it’s grilled, but not in the hotpot.”

Zhang Chenglong often dined out with others and, to avoid any misunderstandings, he would discuss his dietary preferences with his dining companions beforehand. That way, no one would accidentally serve him something he didn’t like, and everyone could enjoy the meal without any issues.

Su Xuan nodded in response to Zhang Chenglong’s explanation.

The two of them hung up their coats and Zhang Chenglong led Su Xuan to get the dipping sauces.

Su Xuan had eaten at a buffet barbecue before, so even though this was a new restaurant, he quickly got the hang of it after a brief look around.

Due to their police background, both Su Xuan and Zhang Chenglong subconsciously surveyed the people around them as they moved around the restaurant.

When they reached their seats and looked at each other, they both understood each other’s actions and shared a knowing smile.

“There’s no way around it, we cops tend to be a bit paranoid.”

“But 1 never expected that you, who were just assigned to our anti-theft team, would adapt to this professional paranoia so quickly.”

Zhang Chenglong genuinely marveled.

“No wonder you can catch criminals.”

Hearing this, Su Xuan couldn’t help but sigh.

“Zhang Bro, it’s just something I’ve gotten used to recently.”

“Whenever I go to a new place, I always like to take a look around to see if anything seems off.”

“I understand, I’m the same way!”

Zhang Chenglong said as he checked the hotpot and started putting food into it.

Eating and not talking was impossible, and since they were both naturally cautious, even though they weren’t from the same unit, they still found plenty to talk about.

They discussed topics from all over the map, from past experiences to embarrassing moments on the job.

Zhang Chenglong’s attitude towards Su Xuan became even more friendly. He could tell from Su Xuan’s remarkable actions that he was an experienced officer in the police world. Su Xuan’s methods in several previous cases were incredibly skilled. It was such a waste for him to stay in a small city’s police station.

“I heard that the Criminal Investigation Division wanted you to join them,” Zhang Chenglong remarked, unable to contain his admiration. “You’d be missing out if you didn’t!”

“Us cops, who doesn’t dream of joining the CID?” he continued. “And those criminal investigation cases, even if 1 were involved in just one, I could brag about it for a lifetime!”

Su Xuan flipped a slice of meat with his tongs, sighing in resignation. “It’s not as easy as it sounds. Even if there were such a great opportunity, I couldn’t just abandon my current unit. What would my superiors think if they saw me being poached?”

Zhang Chenglong pondered this for a moment. “You’ve got a point!”
