A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)
Chapter 1008 Cousins Bumping Into Each Other

"Thank you, Sir. I will let him know immediately."

In the end, the top brass of the army agreed to give Ye Fan this privilege after Lu Tian-He fought for it.

After coming to an agreement, Ye Fan boarded the car and headed for the army barracks.

Owing to time constraints and the amount of work that had to be done, the moment they found a suitable instructor candidate, they wasted no time.

The Jiangdong military region was located on some barren land to the north of Fenghai and was about three hours away by car.

The doors opened, and a military green off-road vehicle brought Ye Fan into the military zone.

"Mr Chu, please wait in the guesthouse first. I will let the commander know you are here. I'm sure he will see you soon. In the meantime, you can take a look around the military zone and familiarize yourself," said Lu Tian-He as he smiled and led Ye Fan to the guesthouse.

Ye Fan nodded. "There's no hurry. Go ahead."

"Great. Mr Chu, then we will leave you on your own. No, correction, we will probably have to call you General Chu later!" Lu Tian-He and Fang Shao-Hong chuckled before they left.

Ye Fan left the guesthouse and took a walk around the area after resting briefly.

Since this was a recreational area, the atmosphere felt more relaxed.

There was no sign of any intense training here. Soldiers walked by as they chatted happily.

Some of them had washbasins in their hands and had just come back from a shower.

Some of them were drying their clothes while others were running out with a

basketball.

"Zi-Yang, Ming-Bo, come on. Let's go shoot some hoops."

Two tall, handsome men dressed in military uniform came out.

Everyone greeted them instantly and asked them to join them for basketball.

Li Zi-Yang shook his head instead.

"Fei, go on and have fun. We will pass. We haven't finished our training for today yet."

"Zi-Yang, do you have to go all out like this? You do so much more extra work during your free time. You are going to overwork yourself."

"Haha! That's enough. Stop holding them back if they want to do well. Zi-Yang and Ming-Bo were promoted to platoon leader after six months. Also, Zi-Yang and Ming-Bo were shortlisted for special troops. Since they have such a bright future, they naturally want to work hard, right?"

Li Zi-Yang and Ma Ming-Bo disregarded their comments and had already run off.

Based on their plan, they were to run with weights for three kilometers.

"Zi-Yang, why don't we take a break this afternoon? If we keep doing such intense training, we might end up collapsing," said Ma Ming-Bo sadly as he looked at Li Zi-Yang and looked somewhat tired. "No, Ming-Bo. Have you forgotten why we decided to join the army? Before you give up, think about what we want. Think about the humiliation we suffered at the Feast of the Sea and Sky. If you want to surpass him, this is the only way to do it. Even if he is the King of Jiangdong in the corporate world, he will be nothing to us when we become generals, he would have to greet us respectfully when he sees us again!"

Li Zi-Yang clenched his fists tightly.

He could never forget the humiliation he suffered at the hands of Ye Fan at the Feast of the Sea and Sky.

Li Zi-Yang was too afraid to retaliate and had apologized to him like a dog when his father forced him.

But he was a proud man. All these years, his peers looked up to him.

Li Zi-Yang could never allow a man around his age to trample him beneath his feet like that.

Hence, Li Zi-Yang got his father to make arrangements for him to join the army after the feast.

He swore to make a name for himself in the army.

Ten years!

He gave himself ten years to catch up.

In ten years, he wanted to become a general!

"You and I have both surmounted countless obstacles. You are proud and fearless while I am quiet and determined. Ye Fan, there will come one day when I, Li

Zi-Yang, will recover my lost dignity and trample you beneath my feet!" said Li Zi-Yang deeply with resolution in his eyes.

"You are right, Zi-Yang. We have to work hard to surpass him. If we want to become generals, we have to attain military achievements. If we want military achievement, we have to go into the battlefield. Joining the special troops will bring us closer to the battlefield, so this is the perfect chance. Yanjing army is sending their best instructors to teach the special troops. We have to work hard and get ready, so we can join them. Perhaps this is our chance to surpass Ye Fan!"

Li Zi-Yang and Ma Ming-Bo both exploded with boundless drive and enthusiasm as they resumed training.

However, they had no idea that the young man they wanted to trample at their feet was less than a hundred meters away.

Perhaps Ye Fan might have spotted them, but he probably didn't recognize them.

After all, insignificant people like them didn't even amount to an extra in Ye Fan's life.

Why would Ye Fan waste his energy on trivial people?

Ye Fan returned to the guesthouse after taking a quick stroll.

He noticed a silhouette standing in the room when he returned.

The young woman before him was dressed in a floral long dress and was undoubtedly the center of attention since everyone else was dressed in military green.

Her short hair swayed gently in the wind.

Her snow-white neck was flawless.

Her dress was cinched at the waist and complemented her slender waist perfectly.

Her perfect figure was particularly pleasant to the eye.

If the men at the army caught sight of this scene, it would probably awaken their most primal instincts.

But Ye Fan had seen plenty of beauties in his time, so he was much calmer about seeing her.

"Have a seat. There's tea over there. Help yourself.

Ye Fan noticed her right away.

The woman before his eyes was none other than his eldest uncle's daughter, Ye Yu-Yan.

Ye Yu-Yan had always followed Lu Tian-He for training. Since Lu Tian-He was transferred to Jiangdong to set up the special troops, he naturally transferred his favorite disciple as well.

30 minutes ago, Ye Yu-Yan heard her teacher saying Ye Fan was here. Hence, she hurried back to the dormitory to change and came over here immediately.

Despite being cousins, their encounter wasn't as warm as Ye Yu-Yan expected. It was simply cold and indifferent.

Ye Yu-Yan quickly turned around when she heard Ye Fan's voice before meekly greeting him.

Instead, Ye Fan shook his head and smiled.

"If we were still kids living in the Ye residence, I would certainly answer to that. But I've been chased out of the Ye family and your father has already removed my name from the clan records. In other words, we aren't cousins anymore, so stop treating me that way. There is no need for that anymore."
