Supreme Hidden Dragon in the City-Chapter 457: There’s Money in the Card

Qin Hao and Lao Cai both were startled by the sound of the door being kicked in and hurriedly stopped their actions, turning their heads to look.

Chen Fan stood at the door with an indifferent face, exuding an oppressive aura like an Asura that had walked out of hell, making it difficult for one to look directly at him.

When An Lan saw Chen Fan appear, she cried harder than before, but unlike earlier, there was a glimmer of light in her eyes, and a trace of joy appeared on her face.

Lao Cai looked at Chen Fan with a face full of suspicion and questioned, "Who, who, who are you? Who let you in!"

Qin Hao also looked at Chen Fan coldly, never having imagined that someone would come to spoil his plans.

"I don’t care who you are, get out of my villa right now, and I can let this slide. Otherwise, don’t blame me for being rude!"

Chen Fan paid no attention to the two of them, and in a flash, he appeared in front of Qin Hao, punching him in the stomach and knocking him to the ground.

Then he slapped Lao Cai across the face, the force so great that Lao Cai’s body instantly lost balance, and with a bang, he fell to the ground.

Having dealt with the trouble, Chen Fan walked up to the sofa and looked at An Lan with tearful eyes like blooming flowers, he sighed, "Couldn’t you have discussed whatever was bothering you with me? If it weren’t for my curiosity about what you were up to today, and that I secretly followed you, you might have fallen victim to these two today."

An Lan looked up with a face full of grievance, climbed up from the sofa, and threw herself onto Chen Fan in a cling, then opened her mouth and bit down on his shoulder.

Chen Fan was about to push her away when he realized she was holding on to him very tightly, as if using all her strength, so he gave up.

He said in a speechless tone, "Why are you biting me?"

An Lan’s eyes were tearful and she spoke with a choked voice, "Just want to bite, just want to bite!"

She didn’t know why, but she just felt like biting; doing so made her feel secure inside.

Chen Fan thought she must have felt incredibly despairing earlier, and this behavior might be her way of venting her inner fears, so he simply let her carry on with her antics.

After a while, An Lan’s emotions gradually calmed down, and she conveniently wiped her snot and tears on Chen Fan’s clothes.

Chen Fan looked at her incredulously and then asked, "Tell me what exactly happened."

An Lan then recounted the whole story.

She held her head up proudly, "I know that things have come to this for the two of us, with not a bank card or mobile phone to our names. To get money in a short time, pawning was the only option. I didn’t want to earn your praise; had today’s events not occurred, I wouldn’t have told you. There’s no need for you to be too moved, I did this purely by my own will."

After saying that, she sneaked a glance at Chen Fan, secretly hoping that he would look at her with a moved expression and casually say some words like ’how considerate you are’ or ’how great you are.’

However, Chen Fan looked at An Lan as if she were an idiot, and asked, "If you needed money, why didn’t you tell me?"

An Lan said, "That day, the fire burned everything you had except for two broken beads and a small sword. Where could you have had money? Those two beads of yours looked worthless; the small sword probably a toy for children, not worth much if sold. I know you’re saying this out of guilt for all the silent sacrifices I’ve made. Really, it’s nothing for me to suffer a little bit..."

As Chen Fan listened to her talking to herself, he silently took out the Huaxia Divine Dragon card from the Heavenly Creation Pearl and handed it over to her.

An Lan glanced at the bank card and asked with confusion, "What are you doing with a bank card?"

Chen Fan said, "There’s money in the card."

An Lan frowned, "Money? Is this a new card you’ve gotten? How much could possibly be inside?"

Chen Fan said, "I’ve had this card for a while now, I don’t remember exactly how much is in there, but there should be several billion at least."

An Lan’s eyes widened, her face full of disbelief.

Even in his agony on the ground clutching his stomach, Si Nian, could not help but spare a thought to scoff that this guy really knew how to play it cool, casually claiming to have tens of billions, speaking of Joss Paper, no doubt!

Lao Cai was thinking along the same lines, only he had been slapped silly by Chen Fan and now his head was buzzing, unable to contemplate anything else.

Snapping back to reality, An Lan asked, "That day on your body, aside from two beads and a small sword, you had nothing else. Where did you get this bank card from?"

Chen Fan said, "I took it out from that red bead you mentioned. I call it the Heavenly Creation Pearl; it has a unique space inside where I can store things."

An Lan’s expression stalled, and she remembered that Chen Fan was not an ordinary person. The two beads had remained unscathed even in the roaring flames, they were certainly not ordinary; she should have realized Chen Fan had other means at his disposal.

"So you’re saying, my silent sacrifices all this time were just self-consolation, this guy clearly had so much money, yet I went to great lengths to pawn my own belongings for cash, I, I, I... am I not just an idiot?"

Her heart began to crumble; she hadn’t expected such determination to pawn her most beloved possessions would end up being nothing but a joke.

An indescribable emotion welled up inside her, followed by a furious outburst as she stormed up to Chen Fan and started pounding on his chest with her little fists.

"You jerk, why didn’t you tell me you had so much money earlier? You made me worry so much, not only did I pawn my favorite watch, I even pawned the earrings my mother left me, and I almost got tainted by those two beasts, do you find it amusing now, are you happy to mock me..."

While speaking, she couldn’t hold back and kicked Qin Hao in the face.

Chen Fan watched An Lan with a smile and then said seriously, "It’s indeed my fault, I’m sorry."

Seeing that Chen Fan wasn’t mocking her, An Lan’s face showed surprise, "You... you’re not supposed to mock me?"

Chen Fan shook his head with a smile and seriously said, "Thank you."

An Lan’s face flushed, and she suddenly felt a bit out of her element.

Turning her head to one side with a touch of embarrassment and a hint of haughtiness, she huffed, "You’re welcome."

Chen Fan’s gaze fell upon Qin Hao and Lao Cai, "Now that things have been clarified, it’s time to settle accounts with these two fellows first."

An Lan also quickly collected her thoughts, glaring angrily at Qin Hao and the other, "We must teach these two a harsh lesson."

Chen Fan walked over and stepped on one of Qin Hao’s hands, asking, "Using such means against a girl, what sort of punishment do you think I should give you so you’ll learn your lesson?"
