Outside the restaurant, Tang Huan and Wan Xin walked side by side on the street.

After all that has happened, it's almost midnight now, and there aren't many people around.

"Did you know Liu Xuan would definitely come?" Wan Xin asked Tang Huan.

Under those circumstances, Wan Xin was somewhat uncertain.

Whether or not he comes depends entirely on Liu Xuan's decision.

Even under such uncertain circumstances, Tang Huan insisted on sitting in the restaurant and waiting for half an hour.

Even Liu Ming wasn't sure about something, yet Tang Huan dared to gamble on it, which is truly admirable.

"I'm not sure he'll definitely come."

Tang Huan's casual reply left Wan Xin speechless.

After composing himself, he continued, "If we're not sure, why keep waiting?"

Tang Huan smiled and said, "Anyway, I have nothing else to do, so I'll just wait and see. Besides, there's a way to deal with him if he comes and a way to deal with him if he doesn't. In any case, I'll definitely stand up for you."

The first part of the sentence left Wan Xin feeling somewhat helpless.

Helpless because of Tang Huan's tendency to do whatever comes to mind.

But the second half of the sentence moved him deeply. In this trouble, the Wan family did not stand up for him, forcing him to endure a certain humiliation.

But Tang Huan did exactly that.

Tang Huan did a better job than the Wan family in this matter, which made Wan Xin feel more gratified and happy.

Feeling the cold gun in her hand, Wan Xin examined it closely.

He lightly pressed one finger on the trigger, trying to see the structure of this mysterious weapon.

"Can such a simple tap unleash a powerful attack?"

As she spoke, Wan Xin couldn't contain her curiosity and made a move to press the button.

Tang Huan, who had remained calm and collected throughout, finally showed a change in expression upon seeing this.

Before Wan Xin could make a move, he snatched the gun from her hand.

Just in case, Tang Huan even pressed down on Wan Xin's hands forcefully.

This scene left Wan Xin somewhat bewildered.

Tang Huan smiled and brandished the gun in his hand. "Don't play around with it, people can die."

"Didn't you say you were out of bullets?"

When Tang Huan explained it this way, Wan Xin had no doubts. After all, if a powerful weapon were handed to her, Tang Huan would also face a threat.

I believe Liu Xuan and the others also believe this.

"How can I support you without bullets? Those words were just for show!"

After saying that, Tang Huan raised his pistol and pulled the trigger at Wan Xin as proof.

There was a loud "bang".

Then came the loud barking of dogs from all directions.

This sound broke the silence of the night.

Wan Xin listened to that familiar voice, which was exactly the same as the ventriloquism Tang Huan had imitated in the room.

However, the sound he heard just now was real, and he even felt a slight pain in his ears.

Tang Huan quickly removed the bullets from the gun and handed the empty gun to Wan Xin.

Upon handling it, you can feel the barrel getting extremely hot.

This confirms that guns are indeed a threat.

Wan Xin's expression was complicated. He gripped the gun tightly and asked with some confusion, "You handed me a weapon like this. Aren't you worried that I might have acted impulsively and killed Liu Ming and Liu Xuan back then?"

This gun belongs to Tang Huan; it already bears his mark.

Once the gun goes off, no matter who dies, someone will eventually use that as leverage to cause trouble for Tang Huan.

"Kill them if you want."

Tang Huan spoke nonchalantly.

Seeing Wan Xin's confusion, he asked in return, "Have you heard about the matter concerning the Vice Minister of the Court of Judicial Review?"

"I've heard about it. Rumor has it that he was attacked by bandits during his time in the countryside and brutally murdered. To avoid being implicated, the magistrates of the surrounding counties all sent his body to the capital. It seems to have happened within Yingzhou, not far from Qihuai County. Didn't you know?"

Tang Huan smiled and said, "He wasn't killed by bandits; I chopped off his dog's head with one stroke."

Unexpectedly, the Vice Minister of the Court of Judicial Review met such an end, dying quietly without leaving any trace.

Upon receiving this news, Wan Xin was greatly shocked. He stopped in his tracks and looked at Tang Huan with a serious expression.

"You killed him?"

Tang Huan grabbed Wan Xin and said, "I killed him. He annoyed me, so I killed him in a fit of anger. Those county magistrates came to the capital to complain about me."

"But two months passed and nothing happened. Instead, I came back perfectly fine."

"What I'm about to tell you is that I don't care about the death of a Vice Minister of the Court of Judicial Review. Even if you kill those two people in a fit of anger, I can still take care of it for you, so don't be afraid."

After a long silence, Wan Xin said solemnly, "Thank you."

"You're welcome. You took good care of the South District while I was away, and you did a great job with the Fenjiu business. I'm very satisfied."

After half a year, Fenjiu became almost the best-selling liquor in Beijing.

Even restaurants and inns with good relations with the Liu family use this kind of wine, which is enough to demonstrate Wan Xin's contribution in this matter.

"Go back and get some rest today. Tomorrow I'll take you to meet someone."

"Meet someone?" Wan Xin frowned. "Aren't we supposed to meet the person behind Liu Xuan tomorrow? Is there still time to do other things?"

"He's just a guy from the Ministry of Revenue, not worth mentioning. Let's go meet him first, and remember to prepare some gifts in advance."

The two parted ways at an intersection and returned to their respective homes.

The following morning, Wan Xin arrived at the mansion carrying several packages and gift boxes.
