Supreme Hidden Dragon in the City-Chapter 25 Qin Lan Learns to Bark Like a Dog

The stone-gambling master, following Lu Jinyuan’s instructions, drew a line on the inside of the cutting face and made another cut.

Qin Lan and Sun Jiancheng sneered continuously.

"Chen Fan is such an idiot to seek death, even when the jade is revealed, he actually dares to question the authenticity of this raw gemstone, especially since it was appraised by Ghost-eyed Pang San," Qin Lan looked at Chen Fan with disdain.

Sun Jiancheng praised Qin Lan, "What you just did was good, now we’ve impressed Boss Lu and humiliated Chen Fan at the same time, killing two birds with one stone."

Qin Lan proudly raised her head, "As clever as I am, of course, I wouldn’t miss such a great opportunity."

Soon, the stone-gambling master stopped his actions and removed the piece of raw gemstone he had cut.

The cut surface was rough and lusterless, without a hint of green to be seen.

Everyone looked over, each emitting a sound of surprise.

"How is this possible! Didn’t it just reveal full green? How did it become an ordinary stone just by moving a bit inward?"

"That guy actually got it right, was it really not just a wild guess?"

"Damn, this is the first time I’ve seen full green turn into an ordinary stone. I remember Vietnam had developed a new technique to fake jade in regular stones to deceive people..."

...

The smiles on the faces of Qin Lan and Sun Jiancheng also abruptly came to a halt, with a sudden flash of panic in their eyes.

"How could this be? Revealing full green, even if it was of poor quality, there should still be jade inside, how did it turn into an ordinary stone?" Sun Jiancheng’s brows were knotted.

Qin Lan was extremely frantic, "Dear, what does this mean? Could there be a mistake?"

Lu Jinyuan, who was previously full of confidence, also stiffened upon witnessing this scene.

He turned his head to look at Pang San beside him, his hand tightening on Pang San’s shoulder.

"Cut the other raw stones again!" Lu Jinyuan ordered.

The stone-gambling master immediately made another cut inside along the previous cutting face, and the result was the same as the first one, it turned out to be ordinary stone.

The so-called full green was just a thin layer.

After all the raw stones were cut a second time, Lu Jinyuan’s face had turned extremely grim.

He turned to look at Pang San, his hand gripping Pang San’s shoulder as if it could dig into the flesh, "What is the meaning of this, explain yourself to me!"

Pang San sweated profusely, "Boss Lu, stone gambling always involves risks, I can’t guarantee that jade will always emerge!"

Chen Fan came over and reached into Pang San’s pocket, pulling out a plane ticket, "A ticket for a flight out of the country tonight? Master Pang, what’s the urgency in going abroad?"

Lu Jinyuan saw the ticket and narrowed his eyes, instantly realizing what was happening.

He kicked Pang San, "Motherfucker, so you and your friend thought you could scam me?!"

"I wondered how my luck could be so good, earning so much on my first try at stone gambling, turns out this was a fucking trap you set for me!"

"Someone, chop off this bastard’s hands for me!"

Many uniformed bodyguards rushed in from all around the hall.

Pang San immediately knelt and begged for mercy, "Boss Lu, I realize my mistake, I will return all the money to you, please spare me!"

Lu Jinyuan snorted coldly, "Drag him out!"

The group of bodyguards immediately hauled Pang San away.

Everyone was stunned, this turn of events was completely unexpected.

Lu Jinyuan looked at Chen Fan, his face riddled with guilt, and he lowered his stance to the utmost, "Young man, I’m really sorry, I wronged you, I was offensive before, please forgive me."

Chen Fan waved his hand dismissively, "It’s no big deal."

Then he turned to look at Qin Lan and Sun Jiancheng.

At this moment, the two of them were immersed in self-doubt.

"Qin Lan, you should kneel down and bark like a dog now!" Chen Fan’s tone was icy.

Qin Lan’s body trembled, "Why... why should I? I don’t want to, you being right is one thing, why gloat!"

Chen Fan scoffed, "You really are as shameless as ever!"

Lu Jinyuan stepped forward, "Honor the bet, submit to the loss. If you don’t kneel down and bark today, I’ll chop off both your hands together!"

Qin Lan’s face turned instantly pale as paper.

Sun Jiancheng was terrified, and he kicked Qin Lan, "What are you waiting for? Kneel down quickly!"

With a thud, Qin Lan knelt down on the ground.

She looked around in despair, and in the end, she could only grit her teeth and open her mouth, "Woof! Woof! Woof!"

Everyone burst into hearty laughter.

Sun Jiancheng walked up to Lu Jinyuan with a bent back and a flattering smile, "Boss Lu, actually, I..."

Lu Jinyuan glared at him, "What, do you want to bark like a dog, too?"

Sun Jiancheng’s expression froze, knowing his hopes of getting in good with Lu Jinyuan tonight were completely dashed.

"Bring someone here to throw these two dogs out!" Lu Jinyuan ordered.

Sun Jiancheng and Qin Lan were thrown out by Lu Jinyuan’s bodyguards like trash.

Su Qingyan walked up to Chen Fan somewhat awkwardly, "Chen Fan, I’m sorry..."

Chen Fan laughed, "It’s all right, I was presumptuous, you don’t have to feel bad."

"You can gamble stones, too?" Su Qingyan noted that Chen Fan wasn’t angry with her and let out a quiet sigh of relief.

Chen Fan shook his head, "I don’t know much about stone gambling, but I can see some things others cannot."

As he spoke, his gaze landed on Su Qingyan’s chest, then he suddenly began to cough violently.

Su Qingyan quickly reached out to pat his back, caring, "What’s wrong? Do you need me to get you a glass of water?"

Chen Fan quickly averted his gaze and waved his hand, "No need, no need, I might be a bit ’hot’,’ it’s not a big deal."

Lu Jinyuan, standing on the side, sized up the two of them, then suddenly laughed, "Miss Su, you really do have an extraordinary eye. Brother Chen Fan is such a talent, I initially didn’t recognize him as your boyfriend, even mistaking him for your driver, which is truly my fault."

Su Qingyan’s cheeks flushed, "He’s not my boyfriend!"

Lu Jinyuan immediately slapped his own mouth, "Look at my blabbermouth, always saying the wrong thing, I should sew it shut. Please don’t take it to heart, Miss Su. Brother Chen Fan is indeed outstanding. Apart from being a boyfriend, I can’t think of any other role for him."

Su Qingyan felt a shy pride in her heart and stole a glance at Chen Fan, but said nothing more.

Chen Fan smiled as he looked at Lu Jinyuan, thinking to himself that the man, being the second biggest property developer in the city, had a way with words that made him feel elated without seeming artificial.

At that moment, his Heavenly Eye was still activated, and when his gaze fell on Lu Jinyuan, he saw a darkening on Lu Jinyuan’s forehead and a cluster of dark aura forming over his head, quite sinister.

Chen Fan frowned and quickly went through the memory of the Jiuyou Immortal Emperor in his mind, "A darkened forehead, shrouded in malevolent qi, an omen of great misfortune?"

After a brief contemplation, Chen Fan asked Lu Jinyuan, "Boss Lu, have you been feeling particularly unlucky lately?"
