Rural Mad Doctor

Chapter 306 Her dad is like a thief

The two of them found a rhinoceros horn by chance.

We'll continue walking and see if there's anything worth buying.

Just then, Lanlan's phone rang.

After taking it, he said to Cao Erdan:

"Excuse me, Xiao Cao, my father has returned from the Western Regions and he's waiting for me at the airport to pick him up."

"You're only being notified now?"

"Yes, he always does things on a whim. I guess he changed his mind at the last minute and asked me to pick him up, otherwise he probably would have given me a real shock when he got home!"

Lanlan is going to borrow her father's money.

Cao Erdan couldn't just stay here and watch her take a taxi away.

"Then I'll drive, and we'll go together."

Lan Lan hesitated for a moment:

"No, please take me back to get my car, then I'll go."

"why?"

"My dad likes to talk nonsense, I'm afraid you won't be comfortable with it!"

Cao Erdan laughed:

"I'm the most adaptable person. Let's go, stop beating around the bush. Even if you keep your dad waiting, I can accept it if he sees me as his son-in-law!"

Lan Lan laughed and slapped Cao Erdan across the face:

"You're just like my dad, you love to talk nonsense!"

After getting into Cao Erdan's car, we drove all the way to the airport.

From afar, I saw a man with graying temples and a somewhat thin frame sitting in front of the airport security room, holding a small suitcase.

He looks very wary.

Lan Lan's wave and calling him "Dad" startled him.

Get up quickly:

"You've finally arrived! Did you bring your car?"

"Get in my car."

Cao Erdan's words startled the old man again:

"Who the heck is this? Who is this person?"

He immediately glared at him warily, took a step back, and made a gesture as if to kick Cao Erdan.

Cao Erdan was somewhat bewildered:

"Is your uncle... a former soldier?"

The words that were on the tip of Cao Erdan's tongue were, "Did Uncle steal something from someone? He seems to be acting like he has a guilty conscience," but he didn't dare to say them.

I changed one sentence at the last minute.

Lan Lan also found it strange:

"Dad, why are you so wary? This is my friend Xiao Cao, from Shuiling Town, Yangcheng, Cao Erdan!"

"What? Shuiling Town... Dahuanshan?"

I thought the old man would understand after the explanation.

But when I mentioned his hometown, he jumped up again.

But then, seeing Cao Erdan smiling and showing no hostility, he realized he had gone a bit too far.

Take a deep breath.

Straighten up and lower the box you were holding to your chest:

"Oh, your friend? How long have you known him? How did you meet?"

"We met by chance, and we found we shared the same interests, so we became friends..."

Before he could finish speaking, Lanlan's father grinned.

He flashed a set of white teeth:

"You two are kindred spirits. Looks like you've finally met the right person. I used to tell you to find a good man and marry him, but you always made excuses. Is this the right person for you now?"

Lan Lan's face turned red:

"Why are you talking nonsense again? We've only known each other for two and a half days. We're really just friends. It's not as complicated as you think!"

The old man has stopped paying attention to Lanlan.

He stretched out his hand towards Cao Erdan:

"My name is Lan Haowen, hello Xiao Cao!"

Hello, Uncle Lan.

"You're here just in time, it makes us one more person. I was going to go back by myself, but I felt someone was following me, so I found a security room to sit down and wait for you."

Cao Erdan looked around; the passengers were like a tide, and he couldn't tell who was paying attention to Uncle Lan.

Lan Lan is a queen of transformation; she has a different look every time you meet her.

Her father was indeed fickle; in just a short while, he had changed sixteen different expressions on his face.

Could the old man have delusions?

Reach out to help him with his suitcase:

"Then let's get in the car, Uncle."

"Need not!"

Lan Haowen immediately hugged the suitcase to his chest.

Cao Erdan wasn't allowed to touch it.

Seeing that Cao Erdan had run into a snag, Lan Lan smiled at him, offering words of comfort.

Three people walked out in a triangular shape.

Cao Erdan and Lan Lan shielded Lan Haowen in the middle.

Lan Haowen still couldn't help but look left and right.

The more Cao Erdan looked at him, the more he seemed like a guilty thief.

If this outfit were to linger in the airport for too long, it would probably attract the attention of security guards.

Once in the car, the father and daughter both sat in the back.

While Cao Erdan was driving, the two chatted, and Cao Erdan realized that Lan Lan's appraisal skills were mostly learned from her father.

Lan Haowen is also a national-level expert in appraising antiques.

It has a great reputation in Nantong.

Cao Erdan was very curious to know what was in the box he was holding.

But even while driving, he didn't dare turn around and use his X-ray vision to stare at the box in Lan Haowen's hand.

That way, the old man would be so scared that he would jump out of the car.

I thought to myself that something that could make this appraisal expert so cautious must be a priceless treasure.

She glanced back unintentionally and met Lan Haowen's gaze.

Lan Haowen then instinctively picked up the box he had put down again.

Cao Erdan smiled and asked:

"Uncle, have you ever been to Dahuan Mountain?"

"Dahuan Mountain..."

Lan Haowen looked out the window, gazing up at the sky at a 45-degree angle, as if he had entered a memory.

"The Great Ring Mountain holds many of my memories..."

Cao Erdan wanted to hear the rest of the story.

Little did he know that the old man was reminiscing on his own, without sharing it with him.

Just then, the old man suddenly realized:

"Is that car following us?"

Cao Erdan glanced at the rearview mirror.

A few dozen meters away from my Land Rover, there was a silver-gray Hyundai Tucson.

Even if there aren't many cars on the road, you can't be sure that someone is following your car.

Perhaps the old man is neurotic.

Cao Erdan stepped on the gas and accelerated, overtaking the car in front.

The Tucson behind also accelerated.

Cao Erdan slowed down, trying to let them pass.

However, Tucson also slowed down, maintaining a distance of several tens of meters from Cao Erdan's car.

"You know what, it really was the car that was following us!"

Upon hearing Cao Erdan's words, Lan Haowen immediately became extremely nervous:

"I knew someone was watching me at the airport. Luckily I didn't go out on my own, or I would have been robbed! Quick, let's get home faster!"

Lan Lan asked worriedly:

"Dad, have you offended someone? Should we call the police?"

"Don't call the police, go home. As long as you hide my things well, I won't be afraid!"

Cao Erdan couldn't help but laugh:

"Uncle, you've underestimated them. If you bring home something they're interested in, you'll bring danger home!"

Lan Haowen said:

"I can put it in the company safe; the company has security guards!"

Cao Erdan smiled and said nothing more.

It's clear that the other party is a skilled driver, calm and collected, and definitely not an ordinary petty thief.

The security guards who work there for a living may not pose a threat to them.

For Lan Lan's sake, I'll just go all the way and be a good Samaritan!

With a turn of the steering wheel, we drove off the dirt road and headed towards a small hill on the side.

"Oh, where are you going? Don't take the side roads, it's safer to take the main roads!"

Lan Haowen was practically standing up from behind, sticking his butt out and pressing his face against Cao Erdan's to give instructions.

Cao Erdan laughed:

"Don't worry, Uncle, I'll help you solve the problem at its root."

The car behind us was getting off.

Moreover, it needs to accelerate to overtake Cao Erdan's car.

Lan Haowen was extremely nervous.

Lan Lan also became anxious:

"Dad, what did you take that made people chase you? Did you steal it from someone?"

"Nonsense, I bought this. I haven't stolen anything in years!"

Cao Erdan: "..."

It seems the old man really was a thief when he was young!
