Supreme Hidden Dragon in the City-Chapter 371 I Did It on Purpose to Trick You

Mu Guangping suddenly felt like he had a fishbone stuck in his throat, his mouth agape but unable to utter a word.

Now that he no longer had the significant projects of the Mu Family in his hands, those willing to cooperate with him would definitely be few and far between. With Chen Fan’s move, even enterprises that had the intention to cooperate would certainly give up on working with them.

The Mu Family members were plunged into complete despair. Just yesterday, they were still congratulating themselves on making the right choice, believing that following Mu Guangping would ensure a continued life of glory and wealth. But in just a single day, reality had slapped them harshly across the face.

The crisis of the Mu Family was resolved, Chen Fan was now the King of Towers, and he was cooperating with Tianyuan Commerce Chamber; things would only get better from here. Those who had stayed with the Mu Family would live even better lives, whereas they would be left with nothing.

Regret was written all over their faces, which quickly turned into hatred. One by one, they glared fiercely at Mu Guangping. In their eyes, if not for Mu Guangping’s coaxing them to defect, they wouldn’t have made such foolish decisions.

"Mu Guangping, you son of a bitch, didn’t you promise to lead us to great wealth? Look at us now because of you! We’ve parted ways with the Mu Family, and we’re not getting any benefits from your side either! You’re nothing but a curse!" ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com

"I’m so angry, if I had just insisted and stayed with the Mu Family yesterday, I would have witnessed them rising to new heights. But now, I have nothing. It’s all because of your stupidity!"

"Mu Guangping, you owe us an explanation. Your damn company can’t even keep going. What are we supposed to do in the future?"

...

Surrounded and accused by the Mu Family members, Mu Guangping felt his head was as heavy as a thousand pounds, unable to lift it.

He also felt incredibly wronged. How could he have known that Chen Fan would be the King of Towers’ heir? If only he had known earlier, he would never have opposed Chen Fan’s relationship with Su Qingyan, or overstepped his boundaries to be driven out of the Mu Mansion by Mu Tianxiong.

With the Mu Family members now questioning and blaming him, the more he thought about it, the angrier he became. He then looked up and roared at Chen Fan, "Since you’re the new King of Towers, why didn’t you say so! If you had told me earlier, I would never have done what came afterwards. You... you did it on purpose to trap me!"

Chen Fan could not help but laugh. Being the new King of Towers was suddenly a fault. Indeed, when someone wants to blame you, even your breathing is wrong.

His lips curled up as he deliberately said, "I did it on purpose to trap you. What can you do about it?"

Mu Guangping, driven to the extreme, broke down and cried openly.

Then he ran over to Chen Fan, speaking in a low, pleading tone, "Chen Fan, please, for the sake of me being Qingyan’s uncle, spare me."

He looked at Su Qingyan, wiping away his tears as he said, "Qingyan, please, speak up for your uncle. We are family, after all."

Su Qingyan’s face hardened, and with a cold snort, she said, "I don’t have an uncle like you!"

Mu Guangping completely collapsed, sitting down on the floor with a thud.

Meanwhile.

In the Mu Mansion.

Inside the meeting hall, the remaining high-ranking members of the Mu Family gathered, each of them with a grave expression.

Mu Tianxiong sat in the main seat, his brow furrowed with concern.

"The day is almost over, and Chen Fan hasn’t made a single move. I think his claim that he could resolve the situation today is nothing but a bluff!"

"Exactly. With things having come to this, what can change in one day? He’s just needlessly dragging out the time."

"Not long ago, I saw Chen Fan taking Qingyan out. Do you think, this guy might have taken the opportunity to elope with Qingyan?"

At this remark, everyone’s faces changed instantly.

One person glanced at his watch, a serious look on his face as he said, "It’s already this late, and they still haven’t returned. It’s very likely they’ve run away because they couldn’t solve the problem!"

"Damn it, I knew we couldn’t trust that kid. We need to send someone out immediately to bring him back!"

Mu Qingsong looked at Mu Tianxiong and said, "Patriarch, there’s no time to waste, please send someone to arrest them both quickly. Chen Fan is so certain of his claim, he must take responsibility for this!"

Mu Tianxiong tapped on the table and said in a deep voice, "Everyone, calm down. Chen Fan is not such a person. There’s no need to make a big fuss about it, today isn’t over yet."

Suddenly, someone unconvinced said, "It’s already dark, and even if there are a few hours left before the day is over, what significance does that hold?"

The restless mood made everyone present somewhat impatient.

At that moment, a servant rushed in and shouted, "Patriarch, a bus has arrived outside. They said it was sent by Chen Fan to pick you up!"

Everyone turned to look at the servant.

Mu Tianxiong asked, "Pick us up? For what purpose?"

The servant shook his head, "I’m not sure of that."

After contemplating, Mu Tianxiong stood up and said to everyone, "Let’s go. Since it’s Chen Fan who sent for us, I presume there must be some outcome to this matter."

Then he walked out of the council hall, with everyone quickly following suit.

A group boarded the bus.

Mu Qingsong asked the driver, "Master, do you know what we are being picked up for?"

The driver said, "To Tenglong Hotel, it seems like it’s for a celebration banquet."

Everyone was puzzled.

"A celebration banquet? Could it be that Chen Fan really resolved the Mu Family’s crisis?" someone gasped.

Immediately, someone objected, "How is that possible? What capabilities does Chen Fan have to hope for changing Tianyuan Commerce Chamber’s mind? In my view, it could be that Chen Fan knows he can’t solve it and specially invited us for a meal to apologize. The driver doesn’t understand the situation and mistook it for a celebration banquet."

Quite a few people agreed with this possibility.

"This damned Chen Fan, does he think that treating us to a meal will make us forgive him? With the Mu Family in this predicament, who’s in the mood for eating!"

"When we get there, I’m going to fiercely rebuke that guy, even if he is powerful, I must vent the anger in my heart, and none of you should stop me!"

"Alas, is Chen Fan planning to allow the Mu Family to have our last farewell meal..."

...

A group of people chattered and criticized Chen Fan all the way.

Mu Tianxiong wore a look of helplessness, his last sliver of hope fading, "It seems this youngster ultimately couldn’t work miracles after all."

After a short while, the bus arrived at the entrance of Tenglong Hotel.

The Mu Family members got off, looking fierce as though determined for battle, their aura overwhelming.

"Let’s go in and confront Chen Fan! The Mu Family’s rise and fall are beyond redemption, but this kid must receive the punishment he deserves!"

The crowd, like warriors headed for the battlefield, walked furiously towards the inside of Tenglong Hotel.

Once in the lobby, they quickly located Chen Fan and were about to surround him.

However, when they saw Tianyuan Commerce Chamber’s Chairman Liu Chong chatting cordially with Chen Fan at that moment, Mu Guangping sitting not far away crying his eyes out, and those from the Mu Family who had pledged their allegiance to Mu Guangping yesterday looking disheartened and despairing, they were instantly stunned.
