"What?"
"Your territory?"
"The grand Shanhai Pavilion dares to claim it as your territory?"
Nan Baixuan and the other two were shocked, staring at Chu Fan as if he were an idiot.
Zhao Jiayu and Nan Baixuan, already aware of Chu Fan's tendency to brag, quickly calmed down.
Xu Gensheng continued to stare at Chu Fan, his brow furrowed, his eyes flickering with hesitation.
"This person, isn't he too bold, daring to call Shanhai Pavilion his territory?"
Nan Baixuan, who already held a strong opinion of Chu Fan, recovered her senses, and the suppressed anger from before erupted once more.
"You lunatic, will you die if you don't brag?"
"You bumpkin who knows nothing, do you even know what Shanhai Pavilion is?"
"Do you know whose Shanhai Pavilion is?"
"Shanhai Pavilion belongs to the King of Shanhai, so if you say Shanhai Pavilion is your territory, doesn't that make you the King of Shanhai?"
Nan Baixuan's gaze swept over Chu Fan from head to toe, her face filled with disdain.
"You don't even look in the mirror, what part of you resembles the King of Shanhai."
The King of Shanhai was someone Nan Baixuan admired and liked.
"A loser like you isn't even fit to carry his shoes!"
"Let me tell you, you'd better move out of my house quickly and leave Shanhai City."
"Otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite!"
After roaring, Nan Baixuan immediately pulled Zhao Jiayu and left.
Xu Gensheng glanced at Chu Fan twice more before turning away, his eyes filled with deep suspicion.
Because of his father, he knew very well that not just anyone could enter Shanhai Pavilion.
He had searched inside Shanhai Pavilion earlier, and the only outsider he saw was Chu Fan.
And Chu Fan had even said that Shanhai Pavilion was his territory.
This made Xu Gensheng wonder, could he really be the owner of Shanhai Pavilion?
Or perhaps, did he really follow them through the secret passage?
Catching up to Zhao Jiayu and the other, Xu Gensheng asked curiously, "Jiayu, who was that person just now?"
"A lunatic who likes to brag!"
Xu Gensheng frowned, "Why doesn't it look like it?"
"Maybe, he really is..."
Before he could finish, Zhao Jiayu let out a cold laugh.
"Doesn't look like it?"
"If it were you, would you dare to say that Shanhai Tower is yours?"
"Dare to say that the Five Great War Emperors have to kneel before you."
"Dare to say that there's nothing in this world you can't handle?"
So arrogant?
It seemed like he really was a lunatic.
Xu Gensheng's guess that Chu Fan was the King of Shanhai vanished like smoke.
Wan Shushan Villa.
Chu Fan, who had been out all night and unreachable, naturally incurred Qin Xue's scolding.
When his aunt had finished speaking, Chu Fan asked, "Aunt, has Mom ever mentioned anything about ancient families?"
Qin Xue frowned and shook her head.
"Xiao Fan, have you found anything?"
Chu Fan nodded, "The dragon-shaped jade token I had before, according to Mr. Guan, involved a mysterious and ancient family."
"I've searched the entire Dragon God Kingdom recently, but I still haven't found any trace of Mom."
"I suspect she might have gone into that mysterious ancient family."
"Places like this are hidden very deep and are difficult to search."
Qin Xue gave a wry smile, "Xiao Fan, after my sister and I separated when we were thirteen, we didn't see each other again until she was pregnant with you."
"Although we are sisters, we rarely communicated with each other!"
Asking was just to increase clues from multiple angles, Chu Fan continued to ask, "Aunt, when you were in contact with Mom, did you notice anything different about her?"
The more he investigated and explored.
Chu Fan discovered that his mother seemed to be more complicated than he thought.
Qin Xue was about to shake her head when she suddenly said, "I do remember something."
"What is it?"
"My sister has always had great strength. Things I couldn't lift, she could lift easily. Does that count?"
Strength varies from person to person.
Chu Fan couldn't make a judgment easily and didn't ask any more questions.
Evening.
Nan Baixuan's family of three went out for a walk, chatting about the owner of Shanhai Pavilion, the King of Shanhai.
As Nan Baixuan was saying that she would soon know who the King of Shanhai was, her eyes widened as she looked forward.
Ji... President Ji?
Not far away, Ji Ningyue was walking towards them.
Her powerful aura and beautiful appearance and figure made it difficult for anyone passing by to look away.
"What a beautiful woman!"
Even as a woman, Qin Xue couldn't help but praise her.
A flash of burning desire crossed Nan Zi'an's eyes, but with his wife and daughter beside him, he couldn't stare directly at Ji Ningyue.
"President Ji!"
Nan Baixuan took the initiative to step forward, her expression filled with excitement and joy, not expecting to see Ji Ningyue in this place.
"You are?"
Ji Ningyue pretended not to know her.
As Chu Fan's subordinate, she had the information of everyone in the Nan family, let alone Nan Baixuan.
She knew Chu Fan didn't want the Nan family to know his identity, so she feigned ignorance.
"President Ji, my name is Nan Baixuan. I just joined Qinglong Financial Group a couple of days ago."
"You might not have noticed me, but I've already made you my future benchmark for effort."
Before Nan Baixuan could finish, Ji Ningyue suddenly said with realization, "I remember now, you were very beautiful among the employees that day, I did notice you."
"Really, President Ji?"
Seeing that Ji Ningyue recognized her, Nan Baixuan felt proud from the bottom of her heart.
"Of course, it's true."
"You are also a little beauty. With you joining Qinglong Financial Group, it will surely be even more glorious!"
Praised by her idol and superior, Nan Baixuan's pretty face turned red with excitement.
"Thank you for your compliment, President Ji. Baixuan will definitely not disappoint your expectations."
She hadn't come forward on her own to chat aimlessly with Nan Baixuan; the young master was still waiting for her.
Ji Ningyue smiled gently, "Okay, then keep up the good work."
"I have something else to attend to, so I won't chat with you any longer."
After watching Ji Ningyue leave, Nan Zi'an asked curiously, "Xuanxuan, who is she?"
"She is the current director of Qinglong Financial Group, Ji Ningyue, ranked fifth on the Dragon God Kingdom's beauty list, known as the 'Iron Lady of the Financial World'."
"I didn't expect President Ji to remember me!"
"I wonder why President Ji came to Wan Shushan? Could it be that someone living here is President Ji's friend?"
Nan Baixuan looked curiously at Ji Ningyue, who was walking towards the top of Wan Shushan, wondering who lived at the summit that would warrant President Ji's personal visit.
In the pavilion on the mountaintop.
Chu Fan was meditating when Ji Ningyue walked in and stood respectfully.
"Young master, I've discovered some new information."
"Speak!"
"We found that your mother, who had returned to the Dragon God Kingdom back then, once came to Shanhai City."
"At that time, she was being pursued again and was severely injured. If it weren't for a kind couple, she might have already..."
Chu Fan opened his eyes and stood up, "Give me the address of that couple!"
After Ji Ningyue sent the address and was about to suggest taking Chu Fan there herself, a gust of wind blew through the pavilion, and Chu Fan disappeared.
While someone could escort him, it wasn't that Chu Fan didn't like it.
It was just that Ji Ningyue was like a pearl in the dark night; wherever she went, she attracted a lot of attention.
Bringing her along would be inconvenient.
When the sky completely darkened, Chu Fan appeared in the Fukang residential area in the old city of Shanhai City.
He glanced at the door, confirmed he was in the right place, and walked in.
Chu Fan had strong principles as a person.
None of those who had harmed his mother back then would escape.
Those who had helped his mother back then would definitely be repaid with boundless gratitude for any favor, however small.
