The old man’s head started ringing when he smelled the rich scent of the tea.
A tea connoisseur was capable of determining the quality of tea just from its scent. Also, its unique box made him sure it was the same box of tea that belonged to his collection.
The old man looked fixedly at the orange-colored tea in the cup. He simply could not wrap his mind around it. How did his tea end up here?
He picked up the teacup with trembling hands and took a sip. Its sweet taste spread across his tongue. Even though the tea was excellent, it felt like he was drinking Chinese medicine now.
He felt so awful that he wanted to cry.
Huo Jinyan failed to detect the old man’s expression. After sampling the tea, he closed his eyes to appreciate it before he commended. “At first taste, the tea is cold, sweet, and fragrant. Its scent is strong but not overpowering. This aged Da Hong Pao certainly tastes great.”
The old man felt even more heartbroken when he heard such praise.
Of course, it was great! He had saved this tea in his collection for seven to eight years and could not bear to drink it!
Huo Jinyan poured himself another cup. He noticed the old man’s cup was empty too, so he filled it as well and asked him. “What do you think of the tea?”
The old man’s hand trembled again. He smiled forcibly. “P-pretty good…”
A few seconds later, the old man’s eyes landed on the tea box on the table. He couldn’t help himself and asked Huo Jinyan. “Where did you buy this tea from?”
Huo Jinyan warmly smiled before he turned to look at Huo Yao, who was sitting on the couch nearby playing with her phone. “I didn’t buy it. Yaoyao’s friend gave it to her.”
The old man instantly exploded inside when he heard what Huo Jinyan said.
The stupid kid gave his tea to someone else as a gift.
He was wondering why the brat did not come home when he was in the capital. He must have been feeling guilty.
“Why don’t you take some when you go? Even though there isn’t much of it, you can still sample it every now and then,” said Huo Jinyan courteously.
The old man looked at Huo Jinyan. He was already incapable of smiling, but he forced himself to turn down the offer as he shook his head and said, “I can’t take it. A good man does not snatch what others love. I was already very lucky to have the chance to try it.”
Huo Yao raised his head to glance at him when he claimed to be a good man.
If he were a good man, he would not have scammed his way into her home.
Smirk!
The old man lowered his head and continued drinking. Since he was upset about the tea, he was not in much of a mood to chat.
The old man ended up being so angry that he pulled out his phone and swiped down to a number in his phone book. He composed a text slowly before sending it out.
“You are done for, brat!”
After sending the text, he turned off his phone.

Meanwhile, next door, Min Yu only saw the text 30 minutes later.
“Judging from the message, Old Master must have been very angry when he sent it.” Zhuo Yun took Min Yu’s phone and analyzed the text carefully.
He put down the phone and asked him. “Yu, what have you done to make Old Master so mad?”
Min Yu glanced at him calmly. “Have you found him yet?”
“N-no.” Zhuo Yun scratched his head sheepishly.
Since they have not found Old Master yet, how could his boss have offended him?
Then, why did Old Master send a text message like this out of the blue?
Zhuo Yun could not wrap his head around it. He turned to look at Yang Yi sitting next to him and pondered before asking him. “Can you trace the area where the Old Master sent the text from?”
