Transmigration: The Little Chef Calls The Shots-Chapter 1376 - 200, Found (One More Update)_3

Lao Fan did not return with them this time. He stayed in the Capital, ostensibly to help Lin Yuan look after the house, but in reality, he wanted to sneak up to the third floor of Dong Tian while Lin Yuan and Xia Zheng were away. Ever since Ma Junying hosted a banquet in Dong Tian, and Xiao Linshuang and Zhao Hongyan secretly played on the third floor, Lao Fan’s heart had been itching to see it.

Lin Yuan didn’t care, but Xia Zheng cherished his hard-collected treasures from all over the place, so he firmly disagreed with letting Lao Fan in. No sooner had they left than Lao Fan disguised himself and headed to Dong Tian.

Speaking of disguise, it was really just a layer of mud on his face; he didn’t even change his clothes. Wearing Wu Family’s famous Cui Jin yet with a dirty face, he naturally became the most eye-catching figure on the street.

And yet, this old man remained blissfully unaware, happily assuming he had gone unnoticed!

Shopkeeper Liu had been working at Fuman Building for many years, always following Lao Fan’s lead. Despite Xia Zheng’s repeated instructions not to let Lao Fan in, he still gave Lao Fan access.

Cheerfully, the old man went to play on the third floor, worrying Shopkeeper Liu -- what if something went missing?

Lao Fan didn’t care about such worries and scrambled up to the third floor. At the corner of the second floor, Yao Hanai suddenly stopped, turned her head sharply, puzzled by the fleeting figure she saw.

"That person just now looked very familiar! Isn’t that Old Mr. Zhen?"

Graduate Yao, too, was a decent scholar. When he was ill, Lao Fan personally attended to him. Yao Hanai was naturally very familiar with Lao Fan.

Mo Zhu also turned her head and looked for a while but saw nobody. "Miss, who did you just say? Old Mr. Zhen? The one who is a highly skilled doctor and particularly fond of food?"

"Mind your manners!" Yao Hanai scolded, and Mo Zhu pursed her lips and lowered her head, remaining silent.

However, Yao Hanai had only glanced briefly and was unsure. After all, if Old Mr. Zhen had returned, the whole Capital would have been abuzz. But there was no news at all. Could it be someone else?

Yao Hanai thought about following him to see, but two servant girls politely but firmly stopped them at the staircase to the third floor.

Annoyed, Mo Zhu felt an inexplicable schadenfreude upon seeing Yao Hanai thwarted, startling even herself.

Unable to go up, Yao Hanai had no choice but to return to the dining room with her friends, but she was not easily dissuaded.

Lao Fan stayed on the third floor all day until the sun set, and the room’s magical lighting faded before he was willing to leave.

But having come all the way to Dong Tian, he naturally could not leave on an empty stomach. Lao Fan entered the second floor’s specialty gallery, where he secretly ate some sushi and quietly picked some meat from the plates about to be served until he was full. Reluctantly, under cover of darkness, he returned to Lin Mansion.

At the Dongtian entrance, Yao Hanai’s carriage was hidden in the darkness.

Peeking out from the gap in the carriage curtain, her face showed an expression of realization.

"Follow him, see where he actually lives."

Indeed, Old Mr. Zhen had returned, and no one in the Capital was aware. It seemed he was hiding somewhere. Wasn’t this a perfect opportunity if she found out where he was hiding?

After all, Old Mr. Zhen was very close to Xia Zheng.

Lao Fan walked slowly; Yao Hanai’s carriage followed leisurely behind. But the more she followed, the more uneasy she felt.

Even Mo Zhu muttered, puzzled, "Isn’t this the road to our home? Could it be that Old Mr. Zhen’s residence is near ours?"

Suddenly, a thought flashed through Yao Hanai’s mind, and as she suspected, Lao Fan indeed entered the gates of Lin Mansion.

"Ha! I should have guessed!" Yao Hanai angrily punched her own palm. "Old Mr. Zhen loves gourmet food, and there is Lin Yuan, not to mention her relationship with Xia Zheng. No wonder Xia Zheng often comes here."

She suddenly recalled the day Lin Yuan first arrived in the Capital city; could it be that Old Mr. Zhen was in that carriage that entered the mansion directly?

Biting her lip in frustration, Yao Hanai berated herself for claiming to be smart yet had been fooled for so long! frёeweɓηovel.coɱ
