CHAPTER 1718: CHAPTER 2141: PROMISING

As a people’s teacher, he actually went to climb the window of a girl’s house. What an achievement! I wonder who taught him that.

"I, I was afraid something might happen to you, so I came specially to check on you," Lan Shao explained.

He just couldn’t sit still, constantly worried about her safety, insisting on coming no matter what.

"What nonsense could happen? Didn’t I tell you? I’m perfectly fine now," Fan Rou angrily pointed at him. "Are you deaf? Didn’t you hear what I said?"

Lan Shao held her finger, interrupting her, "Okay, I’ll be careful. Nobody has discovered me, right? Don’t worry, I just came to see you. Now that I see you’re safe, I can be at ease."

"Did you see me now? Hurry up and leave!" Fan Rou urged him.

Lan Shao held her slightly tighter, pulling her into his arms, "I won’t leave. I’ve managed to see you, so I have to look at you for a bit longer before going."

"Are you crazy? Once night falls and the area is on alert, it will be impossible for you to leave," Fan Rou pushed him away forcefully.

"Have you forgotten what I told you before?" Fan Rou’s gaze was stern. "You should leave quickly before anyone notices."

In the end, Lan Shao listened to Fan Rou and left reluctantly.

But as he got downstairs, Fan Er happened to return.

How could Lan Shao be a match for Fan Er? He was quickly captured.

"To think you dared to sneak into the Fan family’s place. Are you tired of living?" Fan Er punched Lan Shao hard.

Lan Shao silently endured it.

"Lock him up," Fan Er instructed the people behind him.

The two soldiers behind him immediately dragged Lan Shao away.

Fan Rou watched all of this from behind the curtain, and her cane almost slipped from her hand.

She was stunned for a moment, then quickly reacted, hurrying to call Huo Yi.

No one answered Huo Yi’s phone, so Ye Ranran anxiously called Ye Ranran’s phone.

Ye Ranran was in the shower, and Jun Xiaobao happened to come looking for her. Hearing the phone ring, he quickly picked it up and walked to the bathroom door, shouting to Ye Ranran inside, "Mommy, Aunt Rou called."

"Help me answer it and tell her I’m in the shower; I’ll get back to her in a bit."

The sound of the water made Jun Xiaobao unable to hear Ye Ranran clearly, but he got the general meaning.

He answered the call, but before he could speak, Fan Rou’s anxious voice came through: "Hello, is this Ranran? Lan Shao was caught by my second brother, what should I do?"

"Aunt Rou, it’s me. My mommy is in the shower. She’ll call you soon," Jun Xiaobao’s childish voice replied.

Fan Rou felt a sense of despair.

As if sensing the thoughts on the other end, Jun Xiaobao comforted Fan Rou, "Aunt Rou, don’t worry. Calm down, and you’ll think of a solution. There is always a way to solve things."

"Mmm, I know, thank you, sweetie." Fan Rou was surprised by Jun Xiaobao’s sensitive mind, and his interruption seemed to have eased her anxiety a bit.

She tried calling Huo Yi’s phone again, but still, no one answered.

She could only pin her hopes on Ye Ranran then.

Ye Ranran found it strange for Fan Rou to call her so late, but she still returned the call to her.

"Ranran, Lan Shao was caught by my second brother, what should I do?" Fan Rou was frantic.

"What happened? Why was he caught for no reason?" Ye Ranran asked while drying her hair.

Fan Rou briefly explained the situation to Ye Ranran, who was dumbfounded. After hearing it all, she said, "I really didn’t expect Lan Shao to do such a thing."
