Supreme Hidden Dragon in the City-Chapter 428: Soaking in the Hot Springs
Chapter 428: Chapter 428: Soaking in the Hot Springs
Xie Lei, upon hearing Wang Shihao’s words, went pale with fright. He yanked Wang Shihao over and glared at him, saying, "What the hell are you blabbering about here? Shut your mouth this instant!"
Wang Shihao looked confused, "Mr. Xie, what’s wrong with you? Didn’t you say that in Qingyang Town, aside from the mayor and a few other directors, no one dares to provoke you? I just cursed him a few times, what’s the big deal?"
Xie Lei was speechless and said through gritted teeth, "The person you cursed is the mayor!"
Wang Shihao was stunned, then felt a chill run down his spine as he stammered, "He... he’s the mayor? How could the mayor be here?"
Xie Lei cursed, "How the hell would I know!"
Wang Shihao glanced at Chen Fan and Su Qingyan again, noticed both of them staring back and smiling, and his body couldn’t help trembling. An unsettling premonition loomed over him.
Zhang Baifa looked at Xie Lei and snorted coldly, "Xie Lei, you sure think highly of yourself. So, you say no one in town dares to provoke you except for me and a few directors, huh?"
Xie Lei hurriedly said, "Town... Mayor, don’t listen to his nonsense, I never said such things."
Zhang Baifa shouted, "Whether you said it or not, Qingyang Town can no longer accommodate you and your father. Today, not one of your family will stay in town!"
As soon as his words fell, the security team immediately rushed over and captured Xie Lei.
Xie Jin’s face was full of resignation, as he had already accepted the outcome.
After all, even if he didn’t want to accept it, there was no other choice.
Without hesitation, the security team grabbed Xie Jin and Xie Lei and dragged them towards the outside.
Chen Fan said at the right moment, "I will make sure to take the gold bars from your house for you."
Xie Jin’s body stiffened, despair on his face now mixed with heartache.
Wang Shihao and Xu Ting were completely dumbfounded.
They had originally come with Xie Lei to deal with Chen Fan. How did it happen that before they even started, Xie Lei was the one taken away?
Xu Ting leaned towards Wang Shihao and whispered, "Honey, what should we do now?"
Wang Shihao said uneasily, "I don’t know either. Who knows what the hell is going on? It just doesn’t make any sense. To be safe, let’s just get out of here for now."
After saying this, he grabbed Xu Ting’s hand, intending to leave this place of trouble quickly.
"Stop right there!" Chen Fan’s voice rang out.
The two of them stopped in their tracks.
Wang Shihao turned to look at Chen Fan, "What... what do you want?"
Chen Fan smiled, looking at the two of them, "You two really don’t learn, do you? If I don’t teach you a lesson, do you plan to keep causing trouble for me?"
Wang Shihao feigned ignorance, "I have no idea what you’re talking about."
Chen Fan sighed, unwilling to continue wasting words with such people, and turned to Zhang Baifa, saying, "Kick these two out of Qingyang Town as well. I don’t want them to spoil my trip anymore."
Upon hearing this, Wang Shihao immediately said with contempt, "Chen Fan, who do you think you are? Daring to ask the mayor to kick us out of Qingyang Town. You really think just because you bought an Exclusive Ticket that everyone has to listen to you? We may have only bought Platinum Tickets, but we’re bona fide guests of Qingyang Town, and nobody can force us to leave!"
Zhang Baifa looked at Wang Shihao and said, "Mr. Chen and Miss Su are two special guests of our Qingyang Town. Their requests take precedence over everything else. You’ve interfered with them, so you’re no longer guests of Qingyang Town. I’ll have your ticket money refunded to you, and from now on, Qingyang Town will not welcome you anymore."
He then looked towards the security team, "Kick these two out as well!"
Both Wang Shihao and Xu Ting were gobsmacked.
"Special guests..." Wang Shihao suddenly remembered the two guests Xie Lei had talked about and realized why the mayor of Qingyang Town was so compliant with Chen Fan’s words. However, he couldn’t fathom how Chen Fan could become a special guest of Qingyang Town.
While still in shock, the security team had already approached and grabbed him, dragging him towards the outside.
Xu Ting received the same treatment as well.
Wang Shihao reacted and began to shout, "On what grounds are you throwing us out? I’m going to file a complaint against you. I’ll take your tourist site to court and get it shut down for good!"
However, no one paid him any mind.
After Wang Shihao and Xu Ting were also led away, Chen Fan finally breathed a sigh of relief, saying, "Finally rid of the pesky flies, the world seems peaceful now."
Su Qingyan nodded in agreement.
Chen Fan looked at Zhang Baifa, "Uncle Jiang taking over as director of the homestay management office must still require a lot of work handover, right? We won’t get involved in the rest, oh, and don’t forget to take the gold bars from Xie Jin’s house."
Afterward, he turned towards Jiang Qing, saying with a smile, "Let’s go, we can finally have some fun."
Jiang Qing nodded happily, leading Chen Fan and Su Qingyan towards the town’s fun spots.
In the days that followed, Chen Fan and Su Qingyan, guided by Jiang Qing, visited all the well-known and not-so-known attractions in town, thoroughly enjoying themselves.
Meanwhile, during these days, Jiang Chunhua officially took over as the director of the homestay management office. After taking office, he not only abolished the set of flattery and sycophancy established by Xie Jin but also introduced proposals that benefited the development of the town’s homestays, earning unanimous praise from the townspeople.
Xie Jin’s family was completely removed from Qingyang Town’s records, and Zhang Baifa even pursued some issues from Xie Jin’s tenure, resulting in his arrest as soon as he returned to the city.
After being kicked out of Qingyang Town, Wang Shihao and Xu Ting did indeed file a complaint with the relevant authorities, but in the vast tourist area of Qingyang Town, it was not unusual to have complaints, and theirs didn’t stir up the slightest ripple.
The two of them became visitors in the history of Qingyang Town who barely arrived, didn’t enjoy any attractions, and were directly expelled.
...
This afternoon, Jiang Qing ran over to Chen Fan and Su Qingyan excitedly and said, "Brother, sister, let’s go to the hot springs this afternoon. In the mountains not far from the town, there’s a natural hot spring that very few people know about. The temperature of the water there is very comfortable, the scenery is pleasant, and most importantly, hardly anyone knows about it. We can relax properly, and I feel that soaking in that hot spring water also has beauty and skincare benefits."
Su Qingyan nodded hurriedly, "Sure, sure!"
Not for anything else but for the beauty and skincare benefits, she also had to experience it for herself.
Chen Fan naturally had no objections and followed the two girls to the location of the hot spring.
Of course, you can’t wear regular clothes to a hot spring, so before going, the three of them especially went to buy a few swimsuits to take with them.
Under Jiang Qing’s lead, the three of them first arrived at the edge of Qingyang Town and then followed a small path into the mountains, walking a long time to reach a secluded valley.
From a distance, they saw an extraordinary pool of water, milky white throughout, like milk, with steam continuously rising from it.
"We’re here, this is the place!" Jiang Qing said with a smile.
Su Qingyan looked around and laughed, "This place has such a nice environment, and it’s very serene. The hot spring seems so unusual too. If you hadn’t told me, I would have thought this was a spring made of milk."
As soon as she finished speaking, she noticed that there seemed to be a figure already soaking in the distant hot spring.
She quickly pointed and said, "Look, there’s someone over there!"
Chen Fan and Jiang Qing both turned to look.
The person soaking in the hot spring also noticed the three of them, stood up, and revealed an almost perfect body before them. She was wearing a black bikini, and her hot figure was vividly displayed, with the flowing hot spring water adding a touch of allure, making even Chen Fan’s heartbeat speed up a notch when he saw her.
"It’s An Lan!" Su Qingyan exclaimed.
An Lan tossed her wet, wavy hair, a seductive motion, and looked at Su Qingyan and her companions, quite surprised, "You guys actually know about this place."
Her gaze fell on Chen Fan, and a hint of teasing flashed in her eyes.
Su Qingyan, clearly excited to see her idol, asked, "Can we join you in the hot spring here?"
An Lan smiled, "Of course, you can."
Su Qingyan handed Chen Fan his clothes and then went with Jiang Qing to find a place to change.
Chen Fan was looking at An Lan somewhat skeptically, wondering what her purpose was for being here.
After Su Qingyan and Jiang Qing left, An Lan proudly thrust out her chest and asked Chen Fan, "Do I look good?"
Chen Fan coughed lightly and quickly averted his gaze, also going to find a place to change.
While changing, he couldn’t help but think, "Could she have come here for me?"
Then he shook his head, finding the idea somewhat amusing.
"I didn’t expect I’d become so narcissistic," Chen Fan laughed at himself and headed towards the hot spring.
Su Qingyan and Jiang Qing were already soaking in the hot spring, chatting away with An Lan.
When Chen Fan arrived, the three women were laughing and talking like they had been close sisters for years, appearing very cordial. fгeewebnovёl.com
Chen Fan felt odd inside, thinking that they’d only just met and were already acting like lifelong best friends?
Women really are an unfathomable creatures.
An Lan glanced at Chen Fan, and when she saw his bronze skin and the muscular physique exuding strength, she was slightly stunned, and her face grew unusually red before she quickly looked away.
"Chen Fan, come on in, the water is really comfortable," Su Qingyan urged.
Chen Fan said, "I’ll not join you guys, I’ll soak over there."
Jiang Qing laughed, "Oh come on, Chen Fan, we girls didn’t make a fuss, why are you getting all shy?"
Chen Fan had no choice but to get into the water.
The four of them chatted together in the water.
An Lan’s attitude was much improved from the other day, and she wasn’t carrying that haughty queenly air about her. This approachability actually made Chen Fan’s impression of her improve quite a bit.
After a while, Su Qingyan suddenly blushed and said, "I... I need to go to the restroom."
Jiang Qing chuckled and then stood up, "Come with me, Qingyan, I’ll take you there."
Quickly getting up, Su Qingyan even turned to look back at Chen Fan and said, "An Lan is so pretty and has such a hot body, you better not hit on her."
Chen Fan smiled helplessly, "Don’t worry."
Su Qingyan was just joking; of course, she trusted Chen Fan.
The two didn’t hesitate and quickly went to find a restroom.
Only Chen Fan and An Lan were left in the hot spring.
Thinking about what he had said to An Lan the other day, Chen Fan felt somewhat embarrassed and didn’t plan to talk to her, pretending to look into the distance.
An Lan teasingly stared at Chen Fan, and after biting her lip, she moved closer to him.
