Supreme Hidden Dragon in the City-Chapter 31 Regretful Lu Jinyuan

Miss Su Qingyan was also startled by those little skulls, but she quickly regained her composure.

She looked at Zhao Cheng with an icy glare, "Zhao Cheng, what on earth are you trying to do!"

Zhao Cheng’s face was a picture of panic, and his eyes flickered, "I... I didn’t know there was such a thing inside the Buddha Beads! This... This must be the doing of the person who sold me the beads, I’m going to reason with him right now!"

With that, he turned and tried to run.

Miss Su Qingyan snorted coldly, "Zhao Cheng, don’t think that my usual disregard for you is out of fear for your Zhao family, and don’t forget, in the eyes of my grandfather, your Zhao family is worth nothing!"

Zhao Cheng was sweating profusely, and his eyes darted around.

"I will tell your father about this, and if I find out you have dishonorable intentions towards me, I will make your Zhao family disappear from Jiangcheng overnight!" Su Qingyan’s presence was commanding, "Now leave!"

Zhao Cheng forced an awkward smile, "I’m going to confront the person who sold me the Buddha Beads, someone must be trying to frame me, how could I possibly harbor any ill intentions towards you, Qingyan, believe me, I... I will definitely explain things to you!"

After speaking, he left in a sorry state.

Miss Su Qingyan glanced at the broken Buddha Beads and little skulls on the ground and said in a deep voice, "Someone, clean this up!"

Immediately, several people ran over and began sweeping everything up with brooms and dustpans.

Chen Fan looked at Su Qingyan with concern, "Weren’t you scared?"

Miss Su Qingyan smiled, "After all, I’ve seen some of the world, I still have that much composure."

"Accompany me outside for some fresh air."

Chen Fan followed Su Qingyan and took a walk on the street in front of the company.

"I grew up in the Capital. It’s a place of grand mansions and bizarre happenings, I’ve seen it all. In the end, it all comes down to human nature; so the things Zhao Cheng pulled don’t frighten me," Su Qingyan spoke indifferently.

Chen Fan pondered for a moment, then turned to ask, "Are you tired of this kind of life?"

Miss Su Qingyan began to smile, "I’ve been tired of it for a long time, but what’s the use? It’s my fate."

Chen Fan said earnestly, "I can help you escape this life."

Miss Su Qingyan chuckled, "I hope so."

Both fell silent.

All of a sudden, a bold idea crossed Chen Fan’s mind, making him nervous.

He pretended to be casual as he moved his hand closer to Miss Su Qingyan’s.

Miss Su Qingyan noticed his movement but did not call him out. Instead, she slightly curled her lips into a smile.

Eventually, Chen Fan mustered the courage and took Miss Su Qingyan’s hand.

But in that instant, the desires within Chen Fan’s heart were magnified to the extreme, frightening him into quickly releasing Miss Su Qingyan’s hand.

Miss Su Qingyan looked at Chen Fan quizzically, "What’s wrong?"

Chen Fan was embarrassingly awkward, coughing lightly, "I... my hands are sweaty, I didn’t want to dirty yours."

Miss Su Qingyan pursed her lips in a smile, "Silly." She continued walking forward.

Meanwhile, Chen Fan was calculating in his mind, "It seems I must figure out quickly the issue with Qingyan’s and my constitutions. Otherwise, I won’t even be able to hold hands without making an effort; how can I endure this."

He also confirmed that he would gradually lose control only when he made skin-to-skin contact with Miss Su Qingyan. Earlier, when Miss Su Qingyan hooked his arm, there was no sensation because it was separated by a sleeve.

They hadn’t gone far when a man, his head covered in blood, dressed in a suit, but with his clothes charred and full of holes, ran towards them.

"Chen, I beg you, please save me!"

Chen Fan looked over, studied the man for a while, and finally recognized him as Lu Jinyuan.

He reached out to support Lu Jinyuan, "Boss Lu, what happened to you? How did you get into such a sorry state?"

Su Qingyan also looked on in surprise.

With a face full of regret, Lu Jinyuan looked at Chen Fan, "This morning, I had my driver take me to the company, but shortly after we hit the road, a truck crashed into us. Luckily, my car had good safety features, and both my driver and I were unharmed." freewёbnoνel.com

"Later, I took a taxi to continue my way, but just as we started moving, the taxi caught fire. If I hadn’t reacted quickly, I would have been burned to death."

"That’s when I realized it must be the bloody disaster you were talking about, so I didn’t dare delay. Knowing you were holding a press conference at Miss Su’s place, I rushed over here to find you."

"Afraid of another accident, I didn’t dare take another car and walked here instead. But just when I was close to this place, a flowerpot fell from a building above and hit me squarely on the head."

"Chen, you have to save me, or I’m afraid I won’t live through the day!"

Chen Fan quickly activated his Heavenly Eye and saw that the malevolent aura on Lu Jinyuan had reached an extreme, a clear sign of imminent disaster.

He frowned at Lu Jinyuan, "Didn’t I give you a disaster-avoiding talisman? Could it be that it wasn’t enough to ward off this disaster?"

Lu Jinyuan’s face was guilty as he avoided Chen Fan’s gaze, "I... I thought you were just bluffing, so I carelessly gave it to one of my subordinates."

Chen Fan: "..."

Suddenly, Lu Jinyuan knelt down with a thud in front of Chen, kowtowed several times forcefully, and confessed, "Chen, Brother Chen, Ancestor Chen! I was arrogant, second-guessing your intentions, and gave away what you gifted me for my protection. I was blind and failed to recognize your kindness!"

As he spoke, he fiercely slapped himself several times.

"But I beseech you, considering I have sincerely admitted my mistake, please provide me with another talisman so I can avoid this disaster. I am willing to pay ten billion for one, I really don’t want to die!"

In her heart, Su Qingyan secretly cursed Lu Jinyuan for his stupidity, while her admiration for Chen Fan grew.

Chen Fan looked at Lu Jinyuan with resignation, "It’s not about money. The malignancy has taken shape on you; one talisman won’t be enough to stop it now."

Lu Jinyuan felt like he had fallen into an abyss, nearly passing out, "Then... then am I just waiting to die?"

Chen Fan waved his hand, "There’s still a way, but it’s rather complicated. Do you have many people at home?"

Lu Jinyuan nodded quickly, "Yes, many, I have over a dozen servants at home!"

"Then I’ll make a trip to your house with you," said Chen Fan.

Without any hesitation, Lu Jinyuan agreed, "Okay, thank you, Brother Chen, I’ll never forget the great debt I owe you!"

Chen Fan turned to Su Qingyan, "Qingyan, you better head back first."

Su Qingyan nodded, hesitated briefly, but then spoke up, "Be careful."

...

Lu Jinyuan lived in a luxurious estate that covered ten acres.

The splendor within made Chen Fan marvel.

When they arrived at the estate’s house, Lu Jinyuan called all his servants together.

Chen Fan glanced at the servants and spoke indifferently, "Prepare ten silver needles, a bowl of black dog blood, a bowl of black chicken blood, a large pot, and fill the pot with water to boil. And make it quick!"
