A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)
Chapter 1041 Fury

"What did you just say? Did you just say that Mufan Group has been destroyed?" Ye Fan was stupefied when he heard that. Flabbergasted, he looked up instantly and questioned Jin Bao and Yin Bao harshly. "What about Mu-Cheng? My wife, Qiu Mu-Cheng! What happened to her?"

Ye Fan cared nothing for his position as the leader of Jiangdong or his billion-dollar empire. These were but material gains.

He cared nothing for them. Even if he were to lose them all, he could simply get them back in the future.

But the news of Mufan Group being destroyed unsettled his composure.

Qiu Mu-Cheng had been the person who had been overseeing matters at Mufan Group all this while.

She had been the chairman of the company. Ye Fan couldn't help but worry about the fate that had befallen her after trouble had struck Mufan Group.

Mr Chu, Miss Qiu...she's..."

"Speak! What happened?" yelled Ye Fan.

"Mr Chu, Master Er did his best to protect Miss Qiu," Jin Bao said bitterly. "But our opponent was too powerful. He couldn't save her. Lu Ming-Feng and Xur Shao-Hua chased Miss Qiu out of Mount Yunding Villa few days ago. Those two monsters tried to put their hands on her. Luckily, Miss Xu arrived in time and took her away. But one of Miss Qiu's assistant took a heavy fall when she tried to protect Miss Qiu. She sustained severe injuries and might not survive..."

Jin Bao was still talking when he heard a loud explosion.

A sudden gust of wind surged in the room.

Ye Fan, who had been sipping tea calmly in front of him a few seconds ago, charged out of the room at lightning speed when he heard what Jin Bao had said.

In the room, fierce winds howled in the wake of his rapid departure.

Thrown off their seats by the force of the winds, Jin Bao, Yin Bao and Li Zi-Yang landed hard on their bums.

When they looked up again, Ye Fan was standing a hundred meters away.

"I'm going to be gone for a few days. The Green Dragon Force will continue its training according to the training plan that I have set. I don't want to find anyone slacking during their training." Ye Fan's voice thundered from the other end of the corridor.

His booming voice had Li Zi-Yang and the rest hearing nothing but a steady buzz for a long time.

"This...this..." Li Zi-Yang's eyelid began to twitch. A look of helplessness appeared on his face. Ye Fan was long gone.

Now that was what you called a good Chinese man!

As soon as he had heard that his wife had been in danger, he had left immediately to find his wife. He hadn't waited for them to finish telling him the full story, nor had he left any last words. In fact, he hadn't informed the military that he would be leaving.

"Mr Chu, please return to Jiangdong first and save Master Er! Mr Chu!" cried Jin Bao and Yin Bao pleadingly as they raced out of the room. They had just recovered from their shock. But Ye Fan was long gone "Alright now, you can stop yelling. He's gone. Anyway, anyone would think that Instructor Chu values his wife more than my father," said Li Zi-Yang as he shook his head.

They could only pray that Ye Fan would make a swift return to Jiangdong after he had seen his wife.

"Lu Ming-Feng and Xur Shao-Hua chased Miss Qiu out of Mount Yunding Villa a few days ago."

"But one of Miss Qiu's assistant took a heavy fall when she tried to protect Miss. Qiu. She sustained severe injuries and might not survive..."

The icy winds howled while the tires shrieked as Ye Fan's car sped into the night.

The trees that lined the road blurred into an endless green that streamed down the sides of Ye Fan's vision.

Ye Fan was driving a military green SUV down the highway and heading for Yanjing at full speed.

All he could hear was the sound of air roaring as it rushed past the windows of the SUV.

But he paid it no attention. Nothing could hold his attention now.

All he could hear was what Jin Bao had told him earlier.

He had not expected things to turn out this way.

He had thought that Li Er and the rest would be able to hold the fort in Jiangdong.

After all, Ye Fan had gotten rid of everyone who had not been fully loyal to him.

Jiangdong had been akin to his own backyard. It should have been safe and impenetrable.

As long as Li Er and the others kept the news of his death under wraps, peace and stability would prevail in Jiangdong. Mufan Group would continue to prosper. But perhaps he had underestimated the Chu family.

The Chu family had infiltrated Jiangdong with its forces just because they had wanted to get rid of him.

He wouldn't have cared if they had stopped at destroying the power base that he had built.

He had not expected them to go after his family.

They had taken over his house on Mount Yunding and had chased Mu-Cheng out of their home.

The final straw that had broken the camel's back had been when Ye Fan had found out that Qing Tan had been severely injured and might not survive.

Ye Fan had realized that the assistant that Jin Bao had been talking about had been Qing Tan, whom he had instructed to protect Qiu Mu-Cheng.

Like Tong Shan, Qing Tan had been by Ye Fan's side for ten years.

She had been only seven years old when Ye Fan had gotten to know her elder sister.

Then, she had joined Dragon God Hall like her sister had.

Ye Fan had watched this little girl grow up.

He was naturally worried after hearing that she had been injured.

How was Ye Fan going to answer to her sister if she died protecting Qiu Mu-Cheng?

"Lu Ming-Feng? You better pray that Qing Tan turns out fine. Otherwise, I'll burn your whole family to the ground!" Ye Fan tightened his fists as his eyes shone with fury.

Two beautiful women stood outside a surgery room at the Yanjing General Hospital. They were waiting.

Everyone who passed them in the corridor would instinctively take another glance at them.

Beautiful women drew everyone's attention regardless of where they were.

Besides, it was rare to find a woman as beautiful as the ones in that corridor.

Having two appear at the same time in the same place was like sighting the blue moon. Everyone was naturally blown away by the incredible sight.

Their presence invited adoration and longing from many and from others, envy.

"I wonder which two lucky bastards would end up winning the favor of these two pretty ladies?"

Yet, Qiu Mu-Cheng and Chen Nan seemed completely oblivious to the adoring gazes that they were receiving.

Perhaps they had grown used to such looks from strangers.

"Mu-Cheng, you've been here the whole night. You should go back and rest," said Chen Nan softly after a short moment of silence and as she turned and eyed the pallor of Qiu Mu-Cheng's face.

Qiu Mu-Cheng shook her head. "No, I'm not leaving. Qing Tan ended up here because she tried to save me. I'm never going to

forgive myself if she doesn't survive. I'm going to wait here and see her come out of that room alive."

Her tears began to fall uncontrollably as she spoke.

She looked frail and vulnerable. It was heartbreaking.
