Supreme Hidden Dragon in the City-Chapter 459: Opposing Mr. Chen, It Won’t Do You Any Good

Chapter 459: Chapter 459: Opposing Mr. Chen, It Won’t Do You Any Good

Qin Long shouted furiously, "So what? Your severing of my Qin family’s lineage justifies me taking your life!"

Chen Fan spoke indifferently, "Won’t you ask about the cause and effect first?"

Qin Long was taken aback, then asked, "Then tell me, why did you sever my Qin family’s lineage?"

Chen Fan recounted the incident once more.

After listening, Qin Long’s face darkened as he glared at Qin Hao; he had no idea that his son had been engaging in such deeds behind his back.

With a face full of grievance, Qin Hao said, "Father, although I did make a mistake, he should not have turned me into a eunuch. I’ve looked into this guy; he’s an outsider, and he might have come here to escape debts. He has no background. It would be easy for us to deal with him. Father, call some people over; I won’t be satisfied until I’ve turned him into a eunuch as well."

Qin Long glared at him and scolded, "Shut up! You became a eunuch because you deserved it! Damn it, I’ve told you a thousand times not to cause trouble when you’re outside, but you just wouldn’t listen. Now you’re reaping what you’ve sown, aren’t you?"

Chen Fan raised an eyebrow, thinking to himself that Qin Long was a reasonable person, not an unreasonable villain. Originally, if both father and son had been bullies, he was prepared to take some measures to replace the owner of Qianda Mall.

Now it seemed that more subtle approaches could be taken.

Qin Long looked at Chen Fan again, his face stern as he said, "Although it was my son at fault, you have no right to sever the Qin family’s lineage. You must give me an explanation for this!"

Chen Fan pursed his lips, "Your son has ruined many girls. Have you given them an explanation?"

Qin Long felt a pang of guilt but still insisted, "I was not aware of his actions before. The girls he bullied are none of your business. I want an explanation for you severing the Qin family’s lineage!"

Chen Fan chuckled, "The wrongs your son has done would justify even killing him. Now I’ve merely taken away his ability to further harm others, which is already quite lenient. If you feel discontented, I don’t mind teaching you a lesson as well."

Qin Hao sneered from the side, "What’s with the act? As if killing someone is as easy as cutting leeks. Do you have the guts?"

Chen Fan turned his head and glanced at him, coldly saying, "Would you like to try?"

Qin Hao shivered, feeling his body hair stand on end involuntarily, and fear crept into his heart. He couldn’t explain why, but Chen Fan’s gaze made him believe that this man really could kill, and without batting an eyelid at that.

With a somber expression, Qin Long looked at Chen Fan and said, "You’re an outsider; you may not realize the influence of Qianda Mall in Jade River County. I’m not bragging when I say that I’m a significant figure in Jade River County. The county chief is sitting in my office right now. I won’t claim to have great power, but causing trouble for an outsider like you is easy. So you’d better think carefully about whether you want to settle this."

Chen Fan laughed, "It seems you still don’t understand what I’m saying. Well, it looks like I’ll have to take some measures for you and your son to understand the predicament you’re in."

"You feel confident talking to me now because of this mall. If this mall were to fail, you’d no longer be a big shot in Jade River County, would you?"

Qin Long couldn’t help but laugh, "Qianda Mall has stood in Jade River County for many years. No one has ever dared to say it will fail. Don’t you find it ridiculous for an outsider like you to make such a claim?"

Qin Hao scoffed as well, "You’re the biggest bluffer I’ve ever met, more so than a blowfish."

Chen Fan responded calmly, "Since you don’t believe me, then I might as well give it a try."

"The county chief is inside, right? I want to meet him."

Saying this, Chen Fan walked towards Qin Long’s office.

Qin Long’s face changed, "The county chief isn’t someone you can just meet. Stop right there!"

Chen Fan paid him no heed and entered the office directly.

Yang Gang was chatting with the beautiful secretary when a stranger walked in, causing him to look up in surprise.

Chen Fan approached and asked, "Are you the county chief of Jade River County?"

Yang Gang nodded, "Yes, who are you?"

At this moment, Qin Long rushed in, anxiously shouting, "County Chief Yang, don’t pay him any attention. This guy is here to cause trouble. I’ll have him thrown out right now!"

Chen Fan took out a token from his Heavenly Creation Pearl, the very War God’s Order given to him when he was appointed an honorary War God.

He waved the token in front of Yang Gang and said, "I would like to have a word with you in private."

Yang Gang’s eyes fixed on the War God’s Order, his pupils contracted sharply as he stood up from the sofa.

Qin Long tried to intervene, "Who do you think you are? The county chief won’t talk to you. You better get out now, or if you offend County Chief Yang, you’ll regret it!"

Yang Gang, however, glared at Qin Long and ordered, "Get out!"

Qin Long was stunned, looking incredulously at Yang Gang, "County Chief Yang, he..."

Yang Gang frowned, "Enough. This young man wants to talk to me in private. Didn’t you hear him?"

Qin Long could only nod and, after glancing at Chen Fan, said, "Fine, then let’s step outside..."

Qin Hao and the others following behind were all shocked. They hadn’t expected that Chen Fan would want to have a private talk with the county chief and that the county chief would so readily agree.

"Dad, how could the county chief agree to talk to him alone? He’s clearly just some guy from out of town," Qin Hao asked quietly.

Qin Long said, "I want to know that too, let’s go out quickly. The county chief has spoken; we just do as we are told."

Even An Lan was somewhat surprised and didn’t know how Chen Fan had managed it.

But in her memory, there was nothing Chen Fan couldn’t accomplish, so she wasn’t too astonished.

After the group left, they also closed the door to the office.

Once Yang Gang and the others had left, he immediately put on a smile, leaned forward slightly, and gestured to Chen Fan, "War God, please have a seat. How should I address you?"

Although Chen Fan was only an honorary War God, in terms of rank, he was higher than the county chief. Besides, even a fool knew that people from the War Zone weren’t to be trifled with, so Yang Gang didn’t dare to show any neglect.

"Just call me Chen Fan," Chen Fan said, taking a seat opposite Yang Gang.

...

Outside the office.

Qin Long paced back and forth anxiously at the office door.

Enduring the pain in his hands and crotch, Qin Hao asked Qin Long, "Dad, do you think the county chief agreeing so quickly to talk to him alone means this guy isn’t simple? What if he really can mess up our Mall? What are we going to do?"

Qin Long glared at him and scolded, "Then I’ll beat you to death!"

Qin Hao wore a terrified expression and stepped back in fear. If that were the case, he would have the urge to beat himself up. Had he known Chen Fan was so formidable, he would never have even thought of seeking revenge.

Qin Long continued, "But the likelihood of that is probably not high. Although I don’t know why the county chief would agree to talk to this youngster alone, our Mall is a major consumption hub in Jade River County. Even the county chief couldn’t just shut us down on a whim."

"I think in the end it’ll be the county chief stepping in to mediate among us, trying to defuse the situation. That should be the worst case scenario," he added.

Qin Hao nodded, "Dad, you make sense. That kid can’t make much of a splash."

Listening to them talk like this, An Lan felt disdain in her heart, thinking they were vastly underestimating Chen Fan. If he said he could take down their Mall, then there was no chance it could continue to operate.

After a while, the door to the office opened.

Qin Long and the others quickly went inside.

Yang Gang looked at Qin Long with a calm face and said, "Qin Long, after some deep consideration, the county can no longer give the key business support slot to your Mall."

Qin Long’s face changed, and he asked hurriedly, "Why? County Chief Yang, we had an agreement."

Yang Gang said, "I’ve already discussed it with Mr. Chen. He plans to invest in a large-scale mall in the county, which will far surpass Qianda Mall in scale, and it is tentatively named Wanda Mall. The county’s support is prioritized for new enterprises. Your Qianda Mall has already taken support for many years; this year, let’s change things up."

Qin Long was dumbfounded, looking incredulously at Chen Fan and asked, "He wants to invest in a mall? County Chief, he’s fooling you, isn’t he? How could he possibly have the capacity?"

Yang Gang said, "I can tell you very clearly that Mr. Chen has the capacity. In addition to the support quota, some preferential policies the county has for your Mall will also need to prioritize Mr. Chen’s mall now. I’m letting you know in advance so you won’t complain that I didn’t inform you later."

Qin Long took a deep breath of cold air; Yang Gang was clearly determined to help Chen Fan ruin him!

He looked at Chen Fan, unable to comprehend why things had turned out like this.

At that moment, Chen Fan stood up, smiled at Qin Long, and said, "Now do you believe I have the ability to take down your Mall?"

"Actually, I just wanted to prove a point. If you accept what happened to your son and promise never to make such a mistake again, I can give up investing. From now on, in Jade River County, it will still be your Qianda Mall’s world. What do you say, do you accept?"

Qin Long, gritting his teeth, was clearly unwilling to accept the offer, as Chen Fan had cut off the future of his Qin family; how could he just let it go so easily?

Yang Gang looked at Qin Long several times, then stood up, walked over to him, and said softly, "You’d better do as Mr. Chen wishes. Let me tell you, Mr. Chen holds the Divine Dragon Card of Huaxia, with a net worth of at least a hundred billion. Moreover, he has another identity as the honorary War God of the War Zone. I think you know what that means."

Qin Long’s face changed, looking at Chen Fan in disbelief. He couldn’t have imagined that Chen Fan’s background was so formidable.

Yang Gang continued, "Furthermore, Mr. Chen told me that he just wants you to realize your mistake and doesn’t truly intend to corner you. If you’re willing to accept your son’s situation and apologize to Mr. Chen, he will give up the investment. The support for your Mall will continue, and Mr. Chen will donate a billion to the county, on the condition that he can decide at any time whether or not the county should continue to support your Mall. You should just accept this reality. The extinction of the Qin line is still better than the destruction of your entire family. Opposing Mr. Chen won’t do you any good."

After hearing all this, Qin Long felt an overwhelming sense of despair within him.
