“滴——”

Zhao Fan was observing with the corner of his eye when the horn suddenly blared. He looked at the driver, who roared with a fierce expression, “What are you looking at? Haven’t you seen a van before!”

“Indeed, I haven’t.”

Zhao Fan replied leisurely, then suddenly opened the car door. In the driver’s surprised gaze, he kicked out with his foot.

“Bang!”

The gazes of all surrounding car owners were drawn. What was happening?

Zhao Fan crooked his finger: “Get down.”

The driver was stunned, too surprised to react.

Seeing this, Zhao Fan could only repeat the words he had already spoken.

“Get down.”

The driver was enraged. “Bang!” He slammed the door open.

“What, you want to fight me?”

Zhao Fan noticed that even when enraged, the driver did not forget to close the door.

Thinking of the hand he had seen earlier, Zhao Fan decided to take a risk. He must confirm the situation of that hand.

“I do want to fight with you. Come on.”

Zhao Fan’s nonchalant attitude made the driver very angry. He raised his fist and slammed it toward Zhao Fan’s face.

However, Zhao Fan would not let him hit, so with a slight retreat, he dodged the driver’s punch, swept his leg, and sent the driver sprawling to the ground.

Just when everyone thought Zhao Fan would press the advantage, he instead ran toward the van’s door.

“Shua la——”

The door was pulled open, and the situation inside was laid bare.

Someone inside the nearby van shouted, “There’s someone behind being held down!”

“Mom, save him quickly!”

“...”

In this world, there was no later indifference. Seeing the person pressed down in the car, everyone rushed over.

There were also others on the van, but they could not resist and were dragged out by seven hands and eight feet, pinned down, including the driver.

“Call the police, call the police...”

Amid the various noisy sounds, Zhao Fan dug his ears, completely unconcerned with the driver’s angry gaze toward him. Smiling, he returned to his own car.

He was in the front, so he remained unaffected. When the green light came on, he stepped on the accelerator and drove away directly.

By the time others reacted, the person and car who had started it had long disappeared.

“Person and car drove off directly, didn’t plan to stay at all?”

“I think so too. Tsk, this mindset, impressive.”

Doing good deeds without leaving a name is fine, but not everyone can do it.

In the crowd, the window of a car slowly rolled up.

Wu Qingfeng smiled lightly. “They are quite enthusiastic, and have good observation skills.”

The woman sitting beside him was somewhat curious. “Second Master knows that person just now?”

“Seen him a few times.”

The traffic flow eased, the cold wind whistled by, and the incident was buried just like that.

Having bought the fireworks, Zhao Fan smoothly returned home, but when passing the entrance, he felt a bit strange. Wang Ying was actually not there.

However, upon second thought, Zhao Fan suppressed this idea. No matter how Wang Ying caused trouble, he would not associate with the greedy Wang family again.

On New Year’s Eve, Zhao Haitian took Zhao Yun’er out to play.

Zhao Fan stayed at home, pasting couplets with Zhao’s father and mother.

That night, the family gathered around the table to watch the Spring Festival Gala.

After New Year’s Day, time seemed to have fast-forwarded, and it was soon time for school to start.

Students had just returned to school when a test came.

Chen Tianyu and Duan Gaoxuan, because of Han Chen’s tutoring, felt very good after the exam. The two hooked shoulders and found Zhao Fan.

“Brother Fan, how did you do on the exam?”

“That’s right, right, how did you do?”

Glancing at the two, Zhao Fan smiled slightly. “Definitely better than you two.”

Chen Tianyu and Duan Gaoxuan: “...”

This wasn’t wrong.

Seeing them not speaking, Zhao Fan found it a bit funny. “What’s wrong, already hit?”

Chen Tianyu and Duan Gaoxuan rolled their eyes simultaneously and said in unison, “What joke is this!”

Everyone gets hit, but they two are definitely not in the category of being hit.

Duan Gaoxuan said proudly, “This time the best scorer, treat to a meal.”

Chen Tianyu immediately nodded. “Yes, yes, the best scorer this time, must treat to a meal.”

Zhao Fan: “No problem.”

Treating to a meal is nothing. Zhao Fan had no problem.

While chatting, a few people passed by. One of them saw the three and showed disgust.

“I don’t know how powerful you are, actually just a few poor students.”

Zhao Fan recognized the speaker. The person who had become first in grade after he dropped out seemed to be named Chen Sicheng. He could not help but laugh.

“If I remember correctly, that person before seemed to always be the eternal second, huh? Couldn’t compete on ability, and only after someone dropped out could reach first. Is that something to be proud of?”

Zhao Fan’s light words made Chen Sicheng furious.

“Zhao Fan, what do you mean?”

“My meaning is so obvious you didn’t understand? Tsk, your brain isn’t working. Still first in grade?”

“Zhao Fan!”

Chen Sicheng shouted, rushing to wave his fist at Zhao Fan.

Zhao Fan’s expression cooled. In the moment Chen Sicheng’s fist came down, he grabbed it.

“What, can’t help but want to fight? Chen Sicheng, your mindset isn’t good. You should change it.”

Just as the words fell, Zhao Fan heard a reminder from beside.

“Old He is here!”

Old He is here?

Zhao Fan instantly loosened his hand, and almost at the same time, He Yongshan’s figure appeared at the end of the corridor.

“How come so many people gathered? Just finished the exam and comparing answers here?”

Two consecutive questions, many students around lowered their heads.

He Yongshan surveyed the circle, his gaze locking onto Zhao Fan in the crowd.

“Zhao Fan, explain to me?”

Zhao Fan smiled, walking out generously. “Making connections.”

He Yongshan was amused by anger. “So many people standing here making connections, Zhao Fan, are you stupid or am I stupid? Chen Sicheng, you say what happened.”

Chen Sicheng touched the hand grabbed by Zhao Fan and said calmly, “We were just making connections.”

Zhao Fan spread his hands. “See, I didn’t say wrong. Just pure making connections, no other business.”

“That’s right, that’s right, just making connections.”

“Zhao Fan is right.”

“...”

With many responses, He Yongshan said nothing, just dispersed the surrounding students.

“Don’t think that after finishing the exam you can relax. There’s still a lot to do. Go back to class to review.”

The gathered crowd dispersed, and Zhao Fan and the three also wanted to leave, but He Yongshan called out.

“You three don’t go.”

Zhao Fan and the three: “...”

A few minutes later, Zhao Fan and the three followed He Yongshan into the office, and after being questioned by He Yongshan for half an hour, they were released.

Zhao Fan sighed. “Old He’s nagging has improved quite a bit.”

Chen Tianyu and Duan Gaoxuan nodded deeply. Each holiday, Old He’s nagging gets one level better.

Then the three left.

Not long after the new semester started, Zhao Fan suddenly received a call from Shi Wenxuan. The call content was only three words: “It’s on.”

Staring at the hung-up phone, Zhao Fan’s eyes flashed with coldness. He had been waiting for the Bai and Yang families to act, waiting and waiting, and finally it had arrived.
