A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)
Chapter 1033 Seizure

Lu Ming-Feng's laughter dripped with condescension and arrogance.

In his eyes, Qiu Mu-Cheng and her people were simply meat on the chopping board, and he was the one who was holding the cleaver.

He wasn't wrong.

Without Ye Fan's protection, Mufan Group was a hapless lamb trapped in a den of wolves.

Qiu Mu-Cheng's title as the empress of Jiangdong had become nothing but a joke.

As the saying went, a woman's worth was determined by her husband.

When Ye Fan had been alive, Qiu Mu-Cheng had been the empress of Jiangdong and the most powerful woman in the province. She had enjoyed the utmost authority and power.

But now that Ye Fan was dead, her titles no longer meant anything.

Qiu Mu-Cheng was nothing but a lowly woman from a lowly family.

The Lu family and Xur family were two of the most powerful families in Yanjing. Even if Ye Fan were alive and standing in front of them, they wouldn't be afraid of him. Naturally, they weren't going to fear a weak and hapless young woman.

"Dream on! Mu-Cheng's husband paid a lot of money for this mansion. It's still Mu-Cheng's even after her husband's dead. This property belongs to Mu-Cheng. You bunch of assholes have no right to demand her to leave. You should be the ones who should be getting your asses out of here."

Fury churned inside Su Qian.

She had never seen men as arrogant and bold as the two men before her.

They had trespassed on private property and now they wanted to take over the mansion and chase its owner out.

This was outrageous!

Even though this had nothing to do with Su Qian, she couldn't help but condemn their actions. They were utter bullies.

Su Qian's words seemed to have angered Lu Ming-Feng and Xur Shao-Hua.

A stormy look appeared on Lu Ming-Feng's face.

"I'm not going to repeat myself. I've told you. You don't have the right to live here anymore. If you know what's good for you, you'll leave quietly. Otherwise, don't blame me for what's going to happen next. My men are ruffians and gangsters. I can't guarantee your safety if they're the ones who send you out of the house, said Lu Ming-Feng coldly and with a threatening note in his voice.

His guards stepped forward and surrounded Su Qian immediately.

They seemed ready to forcefully escort Su Qian and Qiu Mu-Cheng out of the estate if the two women didn't leave now.

"Stop!" A voice rang out from the house before these burly men could do anything to Su Qian.

Qiu Mu-Cheng walked out in a long dress. Her face was expressionless and her eyes slightly swollen and red.

"Mu-Cheng, these assholes are trying to chase you out of your house. They're trying to take over this mansion." Su Qian ran towards Qiu Mu-Cheng and told her furiously.

"I know. Leave this to me," whispered Qiu Mu-Cheng. This was her and Ye Fan's problem. She didn't want to get Su Qian involved.

"You must be Mr Chu's wife, Miss Qiu Mu-Cheng. I've heard that his wife's a beautiful woman and I didn't believe it then. It seems that it's true. I've seen many beautiful women in my life and you're definitely one of the most beautiful women that I've ever come across. It's a pity that you're married. I would have made you my wife if I had met you sooner." Lu Ming-Feng showered Qiu Mu-Cheng with generous praises on her beauty.

She had one of the best figures and most beautiful faces that he had ever seen.

It was a pity that Lu Ming-Feng only went for virgins.

He wasn't interested in someone else's wife.

Qiu Mu-Cheng disregarded Lu Ming-Feng's compliments and leveled a cold look at them.

"This mansion is the private property of my husband and myself. You've broken the law by trespassing on and attempting to occupy private residential property. I've called the mayor. The officials are going to be here anytime now. You should leave unless you want to get arrested. If you don't leave right now, I'll file charges against you and see that justice is served."

There was no hint of emotion in Qiu Mu-Cheng's voice.

"Justice?"

Lu Ming-Feng and Xur Shao-Hua burst out

into laughter.

It was as if they had just heard the funniest thing in their lives.

Lu Ming-Feng's voice was mocking and condescending as he spoke.

"Miss Qiu, I can't believe that you used to be the woman of the man who ruled Jiangdong. Don't you know that justice is something that applies only to the weak? Laws and rules don't apply to the powerful. They're meant to be broken."

"Is that so?" Qiu Mu-Cheng was unfazed by Lu Ming-Feng's brazen disregard for the law. "We shall see, shan't we?" "Sure, why not? Shao-Hua and I don't mind playing along," laughed Lu Ming-Feng. He seemed confident and at ease. Qiu Mu-Cheng wasn't concerned.

The men were clearly in the wrong. She didn't believe that the cops would take their side when they arrived. Besides, she had made a personal call to Wu Wei-Tao.

They knew each other. Wu Wei-Tao had attempted on multiple occasions to gain Ye Fan's favor too.

On account of their acquaintanceship, Wu Wei-Tao would take her side.

The cops arrived outside the mansion shortly.

The man leading them was Yunzhou's mayor, Wu Wei-Tao.

Su Qian was overjoyed at the sight of Wu Wei-Tao. Like a drowning man who had just spied land, she yelled hurriedly, "Mayor Wu, I'm so glad to see you. These awful bullies trespassed on private property and tried to chase Qiu Mu-Cheng out of her own house. Please do something, Mayor Wu."

Mufan Group was Yunzhou's biggest taxpayer. No matter how big of an idiot Wu Wei-Tao may be, he wouldn't be stupid enough to not take Qiu Mu-Cheng's side.

"Mayor Wu, I'm so sorry for disturbing your rest so late at night. These bullies left me with no choice. Ye Fan isn't around, so you're the only person I can turn to," said Qiu Mu-Cheng as she walked up to Wu Wei-Tao. Her heart had overflowed with gratitude at the sight of Wu Wei-Tao's arrival.

She did not expect him to shove her aside as she was offering her gratitude or to hear the cold voice that rang out next.

"Someone's reported Ye Fan for criminal activities that include illegal fundraising and the possession of large funds from suspicious sources. The relevant authorities have given the orders to seize all assets under the names of Ye Fan and Qiu Mu-Cheng. That includes all properties, vehicles, stocks and other valuable assets."

What?

"Mayor Wu, you...you...?"

Su Qian's eyes widened. Qiu Mu-Cheng froze to her spot as blood drained from her

face.

The savior whom she had thought that she had waited for and had received was the devil himself!
