"The Lord of Dragon City enjoys a good drink alone!"
A voice rang out, causing the Lord of Dragon City to tremble.
He was a War Spirit expert. If anyone approached him, he would sense it instantly. Yet now, the voice had arrived, and he didn't know where the speaker was. If it were an enemy, he feared he would be in great trouble.
"No need to look, I am right in front of you!"
Lu Fan's expression was indifferent as he looked towards the Lord of Dragon City. He didn't pay much attention to a mere city lord.
"So it's Lord Lu!"
The Lord of Dragon City quickly cupped his fists, his expression changing. The day Lu Fan annihilated the Xia family was a mere wave of his hand. Now that he had arrived at the City Lord's mansion, it made him uneasy.
"I've heard that many businesses in Dragon City are related to the City Lord's mansion!"
Lu Fan sat down, narrowing his eyes.
"Your Lordship, you are mistaken. Although many businesses in Dragon City are related to the City Lord's mansion, I dare not claim them for myself!" The Lord of Dragon City said repeatedly, "These things all have to be handed over to the Dragon Kingdom!"
"I see!" Lu Fan nodded slightly. "So, this matter has nothing to do with you?"
"What happened? Why has Your Lordship personally come!" The Lord of Dragon City probed, not daring to be negligent.
He knew Lu Fan's methods and status. If he didn't take good care of Lu Fan, it would be his fault.
"A friend of mine attended a painting exhibition and bought a 'Peacock Linglong' painting!" Lu Fan said coldly. "He spent a full ten million, and the final appraisal result was that it was fake!"
"Painting exhibition?" The Lord of Dragon City was stunned and then looked at the old man beside him, "Steward Wu, is this painting exhibition managed by the City Lord's mansion?"
"Lord City Lord, the painting exhibition is indeed a property of the City Lord's mansion!" Steward Wu nodded. "However, the auction houses within the painting exhibition generally abide by rules and regulations. How could they dare to do such a thing!"
"Then what you mean is that I am slandering them?" Lu Fan glanced at him. "Or, you think I've come to the City Lord's mansion to extort?" Su Dan Novel Network
"I dare not!"
Steward Wu quickly knelt down, his face turning pale. Even the person the Lord City Lord feared, how could he dare to offend him in the slightest? If the gentleman in front of him was unhappy, he feared disaster would befall him.
"Your Lordship, please don't be angry!" The Lord of Dragon City said repeatedly. "It's just a matter of ten million. I'll send someone to get it now. I won't trouble Your Lordship!"
"Ten million is just a number in my eyes!" Lu Fan said coldly. "I've come today to have you investigate clearly whether the auction house tampered with anything! If that's the case, then justice will be served!"
"I understand!" The Lord of Dragon City quickly nodded.
"Tomorrow, at Jiangjing Longting, I expect to see you there!"
After Lu Fan finished speaking, he walked towards the outside. "Remember, don't reveal my identity!"
After Lu Fan left, the Lord of Dragon City's expression instantly changed. He looked at Steward Wu and said, "How did you handle this? If I remember correctly, the painting exhibition was your responsibility!"
"Lord City Lord, please calm your anger. I will investigate now!" Steward Wu quickly said, not daring to delay.
"It's best to have results tonight!" The Lord of Dragon City said directly. "This person is not someone to be trifled with. If we offend him, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that even the City Lord's mansion would be destroyed!"
Steward Wu nodded repeatedly. How could he not know this? Lu Fan's name in Dragon City was deafening.
The next day, at Jiangjing Longting, Lu Fan woke up early, made breakfast, and waited outside the living room.
In recent years, he had spent less and less time with Lin Ke. Lu Fan's diligence was naturally meant to make up for it.
Looking at the breakfast on the table, Jiang Meili was surprised, "Did you make this?"
"Naturally!"
Lu Fan nodded slightly. "Seeing your spirit, it seems you've recovered well. You lost ten million yesterday, but you don't seem to be bothered by it at all!"
"It's better if you don't mention it. Now that you've said it, my heart aches again!" Jiang Meili rolled her eyes.
"Xiao Fan, what's wrong with you today?" Lin Ke came downstairs. "You've made so much breakfast?"
"For all these years, I've been busy with my own affairs and haven't had time to take care of you, so I want to treat you better!" Lu Fan chuckled.
"Wow, so happy!"
Jiang Meili pulled Lin Ke. "Xiao Ke, you are truly too happy!"
"Cough cough!"
Lin Ke coughed, her face showing a hint of embarrassment. "Sister Jiang, you lost all your savings yesterday, yet you're acting like nothing happened today!"
"Alas, I don't want to be like this, but things have already happened, and I can't do anything about it!" Jiang Meili said helplessly. "But don't worry, Xiao Ke, the two million you lent me, I will definitely repay you, even if I have to sell everything I own!"
"Saying that makes us strangers!"
Lin Ke said directly, "We were college roommates, and you even helped me connect with Zhao's Group. A mere two million is nothing!"
"It might really be nothing to you, but it's not the case for me!" Jiang Meili said seriously.
"Don't worry, didn't I say it yesterday? Looking at your luck, that ten million will be recovered soon!" Lu Fan said with a smile.
Jiang Meili could only give an awkward smile. She knew these were Lu Fan's comforting words and naturally didn't take them to heart.
As they were talking, several cars suddenly arrived outside. These cars looked quite special, making Jiang Meili a little flustered.
"May I ask if you are Miss Jiang?"
The Lord of Dragon City inquired, and then glanced at Lu Fan, his eyes filled with respect.
"That's right, I am Jiang Meili!"
Jiang Meili nodded. "Are you...?"
"This is the Lord of Dragon City!" Steward Wu said. "There was a quality issue with the 'Peacock Linglong' painting you bought at the painting exhibition yesterday. The Lord City Lord has personally come to apologize!"
"The Lord of Dragon City, personally apologizing!"
Jiang Meili trembled violently, her heart filled with unease. She was just a small manager in a company. How could she deserve the personal visit and apology of the City Lord?
"Miss Jiang, I'm truly sorry. There was an oversight at the painting exhibition!" The Lord of Dragon City said solemnly. "However, I have dealt with them. Here is ten million!"
The Lord of Dragon City held out a card and handed it to Jiang Meili.
Jiang Meili was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to respond. She had never imagined that this ten million could be recovered.
"To compensate for the oversight at the painting exhibition, the Lord City Lord personally found the authentic 'Peacock Linglong' painting and is gifting it to Miss Jiang for free!"
Steward Wu said with a smile. "Bring the painting up!"
Two attendants carried the painting and approached Jiang Meili.
"This absolutely cannot be done!" Jiang Meili said repeatedly. "I am already very grateful that this money has been returned. How could I dare to let the City Lord spend more!"
"After all, it was the City Lord's mansion's fault. This is all deserved!"
The Lord of Dragon City said repeatedly, occasionally glancing at Lu Fan, as if acting based on Lu Fan's expression. If Lu Fan were to become displeased, not only would he lose his position as City Lord, but his life might also be in danger.
