Supreme Hidden Dragon in the City
Chapter 307: Reap What You Sow

Chapter 307: Chapter 307: Reap What You Sow

Jian Yunzhou’s expression froze, and his body stiffened. "You... You’re not kidding, are you?"

Anxiously, Jian Wen said, "Do you think I would joke about something like this?"

Jian Yunzhou looked at Chen Fan mechanically, with cold sweat breaking out on his forehead, and a sense of indescribable fear rising in his heart.

Back then, Jian Wen had made it crystal clear to him that the fight between Master Chen and Lu Jiuxuan was like a battle between immortals; with a mere wave of their hands, they could take the lives of ordinary people like them, and the Fengyun brothers were a joke in their presence!

This was simply courting death!

Chen Fan watched the scene unfold with a calm expression, his gaze landing on Jian Yunzhou’s face, and asked, "So you really want to take me down?"

Jian Yunzhou squeezed out an awkward smile, "Misunderstanding... It’s a misunderstanding..."

Qin Lan had not heard about what happened on Azure Dragon Mountain and did not know what Master Chen meant; she just thought Jian Wen was messing with her.

With a look of pitiable innocence, she turned to Jian Yunzhou, "Dear, no matter what, you are the renowned real estate tycoon of Gang City, and this guy is just a nobody from Jiangcheng. Now that he has bullied your woman, are you really not going to do anything about it?"

Jian Wen looked at Qin Lan speechlessly and shouted, "You vixen, do you even deserve to be with my father? Stop inciting my dad to make mistakes here!"

Qin Lan touched her tears and sobbed, "Yes, I have no official status and no right to ask for it, but dear, just because of your daughter’s words, are you going to disregard our relationship that has lasted so long?"

Jian Yunzhou was at his wit’s end and explained, "Qin Lan, it’s not like that, this..."

At that moment, he suddenly paused and stared at Qin Lan, "Didn’t you say she was a delivery person? How do you know he’s from Jiangcheng?"

Panic flashed across Qin Lan’s face as she prevaricated, "I... I guessed."

Jian Yunzhou immediately realized that Qin Lan had been deceiving him all along!

Connecting it to Jian Wen’s claim that Chen Fan was Master Chen, he instantly felt a tingling on his scalp; this woman had almost caused him to offend a personage as powerful as an immortal!

Chen Fan looked at Qin Lan with teasing eyes and said, "The reason she knows I’m from Jiangcheng is because she indeed is my ex-wife. She harbors resentment towards me and wants to use you to get back at me. Boss Jian, since your daughter is here, you must also be aware of my identity by now. How do you plan to handle this situation?"

Qin Lan looked contemptuously at Chen Fan, "Chen Fan, don’t you play the saint here with me. Yes, I’m indeed your ex-wife, but don’t think that just because you have some clout in Jiangcheng, you can come to Gang City and run wild!"

"No matter what, I am his woman, and even if I deceived him, he would never help you!"

Jian Yunzhou raised his hand and slapped Qin Lan across the face, "Who gave you the nerve to speak to Master Chen like that?"

In disbelief, Qin Lan covered her face and stared at Jian Yunzhou, "Dear, you... you actually hit me for an outsider..."

Jian Yunzhou snorted coldly, "An outsider? What are you to me? Do you even have the right to say that?"

"Let me tell you, from now on, you’re fired. I, Jian Yunzhou, have nothing to do with you anymore."

"Get out of my company this instant, and don’t let me see you again!"

Qin Lan suddenly panicked; she had not expected Jian Yunzhou to be so ruthless as to sever ties with her on the spot.

She knew that everything she had was given by Jian Yunzhou. If Jian Yunzhou cut ties with her, then she would have nothing left.

She clutched Jian Yunzhou’s arm, begging, "My dear, I know I was wrong. Please give me another chance; don’t send me away!"

Jian Yunzhou yanked his arm, pushing her to the ground, "Who is your dear? I have a wife and a daughter, and my daughter is right here. You still have the nerve to call me that, shameless!"

"Fengyun, throw her out!"

The Fengyun brothers immediately grabbed Qin Lan and dragged her outside.

Qin Lan wailed nonstop. She had never imagined that her once peaceful and comfortable life would shatter again because of Chen Fan’s appearance.

"Chen Fan, you bastard, why do you always go against me? You’ve destroyed everything once more. I will definitely seek revenge against you!"

Listening to Qin Lan’s increasingly distant heart-wrenching cries, Chen Fan couldn’t help shaking his head.

He had never intended to get involved with Qin Lan to begin with. If it hadn’t been for her insistence on troubling him, none of this would have happened.

All of this was just her reaping what she had sown.

After Qin Lan was taken away, Jian Yunzhou approached Chen Fan with a servile expression and respectfully said, "Master Chen, I’m really sorry. I truly didn’t know your esteemed identity before and failed to treat you accordingly, please forgive my rudeness."

"May I ask if Master Chen is satisfied with how I handled this?"

Chen Fan nodded and said, "Let it be, then. I didn’t expect to encounter her here either. Boss Jian, you should pay more attention to your lifestyle in the future to maintain a harmonious family."

Jian Yunzhou gave an awkward smile and quickly said, "I will definitely heed Master Chen’s advice."

Jian Wen excitedly approached Chen Fan and called out, "Big brother Chen Fan, we meet again."

To appear closer to Chen Fan, she deliberately refrained from calling him Master Chen.

Chen Fan nodded at her and said, "I have something to ask your father, please step out for a moment."

Jian Wen’s face instantly fell with disappointment, but she obediently nodded, turned, walked out of the office, and carefully closed the door behind her.

Jian Yunzhou immediately became nervous. Before, not knowing Chen Fan’s identity wasn’t much of a concern, but now, knowing he was the very Master Chen who had slain Lu Jiuxuan, it was impossible for him not to be on edge when such a formidable figure wanted to speak with him.

"Master... Master Chen, may I know what matter you wish to discuss with me?" Jian Yunzhou asked cautiously.

Chen Fan took out the Heavenly Creation Pearl and asked, "Do you still remember this item?"

Jian Yunzhou looked at the item in Chen Fan’s hand, and upon seeing the dark red bead, he was taken aback.

"Is this... the Treasure Bead I sold at the auction a while back?"

Very few knew the origin of the Heavenly Creation Pearl; Yun Tianluo had only learned the name from a wandering sage. Jian Yunzhou was unaware of the bead’s actual name, hence he referred to it as the Treasure Bead.

Chen Fan nodded, "Correct, this bead is the very one you auctioned off. My visit is to inquire about the origin of this bead."

Jian Yunzhou’s eyes flickered, then he said, "Master Chen, to be honest, this Treasure Bead is an heirloom of our Jian Family. Although it is a treasure, I am not clear about its specific use, so I decided to auction it off."

Chen Fan stared into Jian Yunzhou’s eyes, pondered for a moment, and then suddenly shouted, "You’re lying!"
