Of course, the last person they could forget was Lao Fan. That day, after Xia Zheng sorted out the Rice Flower Fragrance issue, he took Lin Yi and galloped off to "steal" Lao Fan back. Saying stolen, it was actually just to avoid letting Zhao Hongde know their whereabouts and go back to leak them to someone.
What Xia Zheng wouldn't know was that a particular vengeful old man had already thoroughly leaked all of his deeds.
Perhaps thinking of the future spectacle involving Xia Zheng, Lao Fan unusually didn't throw a temper tantrum at him this time upon his return. This really scared Xia Zheng silly, as it was completely out of character for the old man.
However, after repeatedly confirming with Lin Yi that Zhao Hongde and the others hadn't shown any peculiarities, Xia Zheng finally reluctantly breathed a sigh of relief.
