Supreme Hidden Dragon in the City-Chapter 473: Seeing Su Jinyun Again
Chapter 473: Chapter 473: Seeing Su Jinyun Again
Chen Fan looked at Jiang Wanrong with some astonishment. He had expected her to lash out at him, but he never expected her to comfort him instead, leaving him somewhat at a loss.
But soon, a twinge of sourness welled up inside him. He knew that Jiang Wanrong’s heart must be in great pain, yet instead of blaming him, she chose to give comfort, which must have involved a lot of struggle within her.
If Jiang Wanrong had scolded him, he might have felt better; her consolation only intensified his guilt.
Su Zhenyun also stood up, looking at Chen Fan and said, "Chen Fan, Qingyan being taken away has naturally saddened us, but complaining won’t solve anything, and you shouldn’t blame yourself too much. We’ve already thought it through."
Chen Fan took a deep breath, nodded to the two of them, and then said solemnly, "Uncle, Auntie, don’t worry. I will definitely find Qingyan. Even if it costs me my life!"
Jiang Wanrong wiped away her tears, then smiled and pulled Chen Fan toward the sofa, "Don’t just stand there like a fool, come and sit. Let’s talk, shall we?"
The three of them sat down on the sofa together.
It was then that Chen Fan reacted to Jiang Wanrong’s previous statement and asked, "Auntie, you just mentioned that the Su Family is in turmoil. What’s happening?"
Jiang Wanrong and Su Zhenyun exchanged glances, their expressions growing somber.
Su Zhenyun explained, "You must already be aware of the incident where Hillside Villa was seized by those who claimed to be from the Divine Covenant. Among them, there was a man named Su Che who proclaimed his affection for Qingyan. He came here to ask us to choose him as our son-in-law, flaunting his frightening power and scaring us considerably."
"Just based on character alone, we knew that this Su Che was no match for you, so we flatly rejected him."
"Not long after, news of your disappearance with Qingyan reached the Capital. Su Che, upon learning this, actually had the audacity to come and mock us, saying if we had chosen him as our son-in-law, Qingyan wouldn’t have gotten into trouble."
"At that time, Jinyun heard the news and returned from the Provincial City to discuss this matter with us. Su Che happened to encounter Jinyun. That young man is a lecher; after seeing Jinyun’s looks and figure, he couldn’t take his eyes off her. With Qingyan missing, he audaciously shifted his target to pursuing Jinyun."
"Although Su Che has remarkable strength and seems to have a powerful background, Jinyun has no respect for such people. Moreover, she said she had someone special in her heart and thus firmly rejected Su Che."
"Perhaps feeling stung from being rejected twice by the Su Family, and with his pride wounded, Su Che began threatening Jinyun, claiming that if she didn’t become his girlfriend, he would ensure the Su Family couldn’t survive in Jiangcheng."
"You should be familiar with Jinyun’s temperament—there’s no way she would agree. True to his word, Su Che started targeting the Su Family. His background and tactics are indeed formidable; he specifically propped up the Qin family, who have a grudge against you, making them Jiangcheng’s leading family to suppress us."
"Now, the Su Family is constrained at every turn in Jiangcheng. Many collaborations have fallen through, and the family’s businesses are on the verge of collapse. It won’t be long before we have to declare bankruptcy."
"The only way to save the Su Family is if Jinyun agrees to be Su Che’s girlfriend."
After hearing this, Chen Fan’s face darkened. He hadn’t expected Xiao Che to be so despicable, resorting to such methods to threaten Su Jinyun and the Su Family.
Jiang Wanrong added, "You were once the son-in-law of the Qin family, and later you got involved with our Su Family. The Qin family certainly suffered losses because of that, and now that they’ve gained power, they’re unbearably arrogant. Especially that former mother-in-law of yours, she nearly floated up to heaven bragging in front of me, she even lacked just a bit of trampling on my face outright. Just remembering her clawing at me makes me furious. Fortunately, that ex-wife of yours, Qin Lan, seems to have vanished into thin air, otherwise our situation would definitely be even worse."
Chen Fan sighed. The shifting dynamics between the Su Family and the Qin family was something he hadn’t anticipated.
He looked at Su Zhenyun and Jiang Wanrong and said, "Uncle, aunt, don’t worry. I will handle Su Che’s matter properly. If he dares to pressure the Su Family like this, then I’ll make sure he tastes what regret feels like."
Su Zhenyun asked, "Can you really contend with this Su Che? I heard his father is one of the high-ranking officials in the Divine Covenant, and that the Divine Covenant is brimming with masters. Even the Mu Family seems like ants before them. Don’t overexert yourself—if it comes down to it, we can just give up the Su Family’s assets."
Chen Fan smiled and replied, "Uncle, you should know what kind of person I am. If I wasn’t sure, I wouldn’t say such things. Besides, I’ve come to this city with the intention of teaching those people from the Divine Covenant a lesson."
Su Zhenyun nodded, understanding that Chen Fan indeed wasn’t one to act recklessly. Since that was the case, he saw no need to interfere too much.
At this moment, Jiang Wanrong, with a face full of gossip, abruptly asked Chen Fan, "Chen Fan, Jinyun said she has someone she likes now, but when we ask her who it is, she refuses to tell us. You’re quite familiar with Jinyun—do you know who this person is? What does he look like? What’s his family background? What’s his temperament like? Is he worthy of Jinyun?"
Chen Fan was dumbfounded by Jiang Wanrong’s barrage of questions.
Recalling Su Jinyun’s various affections towards him and all the embarrassing incidents from the past, Chen Fan narcissistically thought to himself that there’s an eight or nine out of ten chance that I’m the one she likes.
But how could he possibly disclose such a thing to Jiang Wanrong and Su Zhenyun!
He said with an awkward expression, "No... I don’t know."
Just then, a voice filled with the charm of a mature woman, tinged with a hint of grievance, rang out, "Of course he doesn’t know who my beloved is. The person I fancy is known only to me. I certainly wouldn’t share such a secret with a blockhead like him."
Chen Fan turned his head to look and saw that the person who had come was none other than Su Jinyun. She was wearing a white dress patterned with clouds, her figure curvy and well-proportioned. Her long, shapely legs were on full display, her shoulders and collarbones exposed, complemented by her wavy, curled hair. The word "sexy" was personified perfectly by her.
Hearing the complainant tone in Su Jinyun’s voice, Chen Fan awkwardly called out, "Yun..."
Su Jinyun snorted and walked over with her long legs, thinking to herself, You’re lucky, kid, that you still know to call me ’Yun’. If you dared to call me ’auntie’ today, I’d never forgive you!
She sat down next to Chen Fan and glared at him fiercely.
To ease the awkwardness, Chen Fan asked, "Where’s Keke?"
Su Jinyun answered, "Keke is still studying in the Provincial City. I’ve arranged for someone to take care of her."
Chen Fan nodded.
Then Jiang Wanrong asked, "Jinyun, now there’s no outsider here, so just tell us who is the man you fancy. I’ve been curious for a long time. Each day I don’t know, it itches in my heart."
Su Jinyun said, "Oh, there’s nothing much to say, just an annoying jerk. Sister-in-law, you better not ask."
Jian Wanrong was not giving up, "Just tell me, I’m almost dying of curiosity here..."
Chen Fan felt even more embarrassed and suddenly stood up, saying, "I have limited time this trip back, I need to deal with Su Che’s matter first. You guys chat, I’ll make a trip to Hillside Villa."
Su Jinyun immediately got up and followed, saying, "Su Che is mainly targeting me, I’ll go with you."
Both of them left the Su Family Residence in a hurry.
Jian Wanrong looked bewildered and muttered to herself, "What’s the harm in telling me, it’s not like I’m going to oppose you two..."
...
After leaving the Su Family Residence, Su Jinyun walked over and fiercely pinched Chen Fan.
Chen Fan grimaced in pain, saying, "Yun, I didn’t provoke you, why are you pinching me?"
Su Jinyun huffed, "You know very well why I’m pinching you."
Chen Fan sighed, saying, "Yun, don’t worry, I’ll give Su Che a good thrashing, I guarantee he won’t dare to have designs on you again."
Su Jinyun rolled her eyes at him, "I thought you’d try to get rid of me by playing matchmaker for the two of us."
Chen Fan was at a loss for words at her comment.
Su Jinyun looked at Chen Fan and asked, "Chen Fan, Qingyan was taken away, I... forget it, let’s just hurry to Hillside Villa."
What she wanted to ask was that now Qingyan had been taken away, even if her life wasn’t in danger, there was no telling whether she could ever come back. She wondered if Chen Fan would give her a chance.
But then she thought that by asking such a question, it would make her seem too scheming, as if she was really hoping for Qingyan to be caught.
Moreover, she was well aware that there was simply no chance between her and Chen Fan; asking wouldn’t give her the answer she wanted, so she decided not to ask at all.
The two of them drove to the Hillside Villa.
In the Yunwu Villas community, on the road leading to Hillside Villa.
Su Jinyun glanced at Chen Fan nervously and asked, "Can you really handle that Su Che? His power is terrifying, and there’s more than one expert in the villa."
Chen Fan smiled and said, "Now that I’m not even afraid of his dad, taking care of him will just be a matter of minutes. You just wait outside, I’ll make it quick."
Su Jinyun could only nod her head; all she could do was to trust Chen Fan.
Inside Hillside Villa.
Su Che was sitting on the couch, enjoying grapes with a satisfied expression on his face.
After a series of difficult struggles, he had finally gathered all the resources needed for his breakthrough and successfully advanced to the second rank of the Divine Realm.
In addition to him, there were five others in the villa who were at the first rank of the Divine Realm.
This lineup reflected how much Xiao Zhantian valued the Five Elements Fusion Spirit Formation.
"Now that I’ve successfully broken through, that bastard Chen Fan has disappeared. Otherwise, I would have made him taste my power, see if he dares to compete with me for women," Xiao Che mumbled to himself.
Normally, having made it to the second rank of the Divine Realm, he was supposed to undertake more important tasks. Yet, for some reason, several Heretical Factions suddenly declared that they would stop at nothing to take his life, which honestly scared him.
He couldn’t recall when he had provoked anyone from the Heretical Factions to attract such animosity from the Evil Sects. Even his father was baffled and at a loss.
The Divine Covenant conducted an internal investigation and eventually found out that the order was issued by someone claiming to be an Ancient God from a Heretical Faction. As for the reason, it remained a mystery.
Xiao Zhantian thought that those from the Evil Sects were already out of their minds, so it made sense that they would target his son abruptly. He arranged for Su Che to undertake this relatively safe task to protect his safety.
Su Che was more than happy to undertake such leisurely tasks, where he could flirt with beauties whenever he wanted, which was nothing less than delightful.
"Though it’s a pity that Su Qingyan has disappeared, Su Jinyun isn’t bad either, that figure of hers is just incredible. If I can get my hands on her this time, that would be a huge win. Hopefully, those people from the Su Family know what’s good for them and send Su Jinyun straight to my bed," he fantasized.
He began to imagine all sorts of lewd scenes with Su Jinyun.
Outside the villa, Su Jinyun said to Chen Fan, "That Xiao Che is incredibly sleazy; he might be fantasizing about bullying me right now. If possible, could you kick him hard in the groin a few times for me, to give me some satisfaction?"
Chen Fan smiled and said, "Roger that."
Inside the villa, Xiao Che suddenly sneezed uncontrollably.
Confusion crossed his face as he mumbled to himself, "Am I catching a cold? That shouldn’t be right. Or does it mean something bad is going to happen..."
