Supreme Hidden Dragon in the City-Chapter 365: Asking Liu Yunxi for Help

When Chen Fan saw how certain Mu Tianxiong was, he felt a bit doubtful and asked, "Why?"

Mu Tianxiong spoke gravely, "The Mu Family has developed rapidly in recent years and has quietly been on the verge of becoming a giant in the business world, something the Tianyuan Commerce Chamber is reluctant to see. Therefore, should an opportunity arise to weaken the Mu Family’s power, they will surely not let it pass."

Chen Fan said, "But if the Mu Family falls, it might not necessarily be a good thing for the Tianyuan Commerce Chamber. This is not just about weakening the Mu Family’s strength."

Seeing that Chen Fan did not agree with this view, Mu Tianxiong’s face suddenly showed a bit of embarrassment, then he continued, "Of course, that’s only one of the reasons. I’m so certain because the founder of the Tianyuan Commerce Chamber, Liu Tianyuan... was once my romantic rival."

Both Chen Fan and Su Qingyan widened their eyes in surprise.

Su Qingyan’s gossip-loving soul blazed, and with curious wide eyes she said, "Grandpa, you must tell us the details. It will help us figure out a solution to this problem."

Mu Tianxiong gave Su Qingyan a glance, coughed lightly twice, and said, "Back in the day, your grandma was actually someone I snatched from Liu Tianyuan’s hands. That old guy has always held a grudge against me, so he’ll never lift a finger to help the Mu Family in times of trouble."

Su Qingyan could not help but give Mu Tianxiong a thumbs-up, "Grandpa, I really didn’t expect you to have such skills. Tell us the story of your youth."

Mu Tianxiong glared at her, "Alright, let’s put an end to this matter and focus on the important issues at hand."

Su Qingyan immediately looked disappointed, but considering the current perilous state of the Mu Family, she no longer had the mood to listen to any gossip.

Chen Fan had also not expected that Mu Tianxiong, who always appeared so serious and never frivolous, had once engaged in such an act as poaching someone else’s partner. His understanding of the old man deepened a bit more.

He did not dwell on the gossip and said, "Even though Liu Tianyuan is the founder of the Tianyuan Commerce Chamber, the current president should not be him, right?"

Mu Tianxiong said, "The current president is named Liu Chong, who is the son of Liu Tianyuan. So no matter whether Liu Tianyuan is the president or not, he will not help the Mu Family, and he might even kick them while they’re down."

This Liu Chong must be the father of Liu Yunxi... Chen Fan pondered for a few seconds and said, "I know this Liu Chong’s daughter. Whether it works or not, I have to try first."

Su Qingyan looked at him with curiosity, "How do you know the daughter of the president of the Tianyuan Commerce Chamber?"

Chen Fan smiled and said, "Over the past year, I’ve encountered many things and met many people."

"Oh," replied Su Qingyan, non-committally.

That evening, when Chen Fan returned to his room, he dialed Liu Yunxi’s number.

"Calling me at this hour, do you miss me?" came the playful voice of Liu Yunxi.

Chen Fan said, "Stop joking, I need your help with something."

Liu Yunxi said, "You’ve saved me three times already, even if you wanted me to repay you with my body, it wouldn’t be a problem. Tell me, what do you need help with?"

Chen Fan explained the situation of the Mu Family to her.

After hearing this, Liu Yunxi exclaimed in surprise, "You’re actually offering to help the Mu Family? My grandfather just informed my father today to be sure to bring down the Mu Family this time."

Chen Fan frowned, "Could you plead with your father on my behalf?"

Liu Yunxi considered for a moment, "This matter is a bit complicated. I happen to be in the Capital right now, so let’s meet up and talk about it tomorrow."

Chen Fan agreed, "Okay, we’ll talk tomorrow."

After hanging up the phone, he sighed and thought to himself, hoping that this matter would be resolved smoothly.

At first, Chen Fan thought that since it involved the Tianyuan Commerce Chamber, all he needed to do was to ask Liu Yunxi for help and the matter would be resolved, but unexpectedly, Mu Tianxiong turned out to be Liu Tianyuan’s romantic rival, which suddenly gave Chen Fan a headache.

Without further thought, he quickly entered a state of cultivation and began to practice.

The next morning, Chen Fan went to Su Qingyan’s room, intending to take her along to see Liu Yunxi.

But as soon as he entered, he saw Su Qingyan sitting cross-legged on the bed, eyes tightly closed, spiritual energy converging around her, constantly flowing into her body.

Observing Su Qingyan’s condition, Chen Fan realized she was having a breakthrough.

"She’s advancing again so soon? I really envy her cultivation speed."

Without disturbing her, he quietly exited Su Qingyan’s room and closed the door.

Since cultivation breakthroughs shouldn’t be interrupted rashly, Chen Fan had no choice but to go see Liu Yunxi alone.

Ten o’clock in the morning.

In a high-class café in the Capital.

After entering, Chen Fan searched for a while and found Liu Yunxi in a corner wearing a duckbill cap and sunglasses.

He sat down opposite her and said, "The crisis of the Mu Family this time is caused by Mu Guangyuan secretly transferring key projects of the Mu Family. Even if his methods can’t be faulted, such actions are truly despicable. As the chairman, your father should put a stop to this behavior. Therefore, I’d like to ask for your help in pleading for leniency."

Liu Yunxi removed her sunglasses and looked at Chen Fan with a stern face, "First tell me why you are helping the Mu Family."

Chen Fan watched her with a puzzled look, "Because I made a bet with someone..."

Liu Yunxi snorted coldly, "You’re lying! You’re helping the Mu Family because of that woman Su Qingyan! I had someone investigate last night and found out you actually have an affair with Mu Tianxiong’s granddaughter, you scumbag!"

Chen Fan responded helplessly, "My lady, I know I’ve saved you before, and you might have taken a fondness to me because of that, but Qingyan is the one I love. I’ve already promised her my lifetime commitment. Let’s not kid around and talk about serious matters instead."

Liu Yunxi pouted angrily, "You and she have already promised each other a lifetime, so what else is there to talk about? I can’t help you with this."

Chen Fan sighed, "Didn’t you say before if I needed any help in the Capital I should come to you? How can you be so unreliable?"

Liu Yunxi snorted, "I... I... anyways, I can’t help you. You should know the grudge between my grandfather and the Mu Family head; there’s no room for discussion. Unless..."

Chen Fan asked, "Unless what?"

Liu Yunxi said, "Unless you break up with that Su Qingyan and become my boyfriend. That way, seeing me take away Mu Tianxiong’s granddaughter’s lover, my grandfather might be so happy that he’d let bygones be bygones."

Chen Fan laughed and cried at the same time, "Stop joking."

"Who’s joking with you!" Liu Yunxi glared at Chen Fan, her eyes unexpectedly flashing a hint of grievance.

Seeing her like this, Chen Fan said, "For the sake of my having saved you before, help me out this once. Even if you don’t want to help me, at least taking me to see your father should be feasible, right?"

Liu Yunxi sat with arms crossed and a reluctant face, contemplating why should she help this guy who has his beloved woman, she should have some bottom line, or he would definitely think she’s easy to push around.

But in the end, she softened her heart, because it was Chen Fan asking for help.

"Just this once, if I help you again after this, I’ll stay single for life!"
