A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)
Chapter 1050 Outside Haiyuan Restaurant

"Nobody knows what will happen in the future, and nobody knows when you will be suddenly down on your luck. Ye Fan, oh, Ye Fan, your luck has finally run out. There is a god after all!" All of Jiangdong was buzzing with the news of how Mufan Group had been destroyed.

All the Qiu family members had heard about it.

Qiu Mu-Ying and the rest of the family felt so vindicated and over the moon after hearing the news.

Back in the day, the Qiu family used to be a rather reputable and well-to-do family in Yunzhou after all.

Even though they weren't a top tier family, they were still considered second tier or so.

At their peak, the Qiu family had received a $50 million investment from Hongqi Group and signed so many contracts.

The Qiu family had been doing so well and was at the pinnacle of their success.

But thanks to Ye Fan and Qiu Mu-Cheng's attacks, the Qiu family had completely fallen apart in just one year.

Qiushui Logistics went bankrupt and had to be auctioned off, while Qiu Mu-Qi and Qiu Mu-Ying had their bank accounts frozen. Any properties they owned were taken back by the court to service their bank debts.

The Qiu family was really living from hand to mouth now.

Even someone who grew up as a privileged rich man's daughter like Qiu Mu-Ying had to be a waitress at a restaurant.

Qiu Mu-Qi had to be a food delivery boy to earn money.

Logically speaking, their educational qualifications and experience in business should have helped them to land a job in another company easily even after Qiushui Logistics went bankrupt.

But unfortunately for them, every business in Jiangdong knew that the Qiu family had offended Mr Chu in the past.

So even if the Qiu family members applied for a job in their companies, nobody dared to hire them.

They had no choice but to do more menial work in order to make ends meet.

Some time back, Qiu Mu-Qi hoped to use the influential family background and high standing of the daughter of the Mo family to make a name for himself in Yanjing.

The Qiu family thought that the tides were finally turning forthem.

But in the end, thanks to Ye Fan and Qiu Mu-Cheng, this entire plan fell through as well.

The head of the Mo family was so furious that day, he slapped his daughter and forced him to sever all ties with the Qiu family. It was impossible for the Qiu family to rely on this connection anymore. Qiu Mu-Qi still couldn't contact her to this day.

The last bit of hope they had was destroyed by Ye Fan and Qiu Mu-Cheng once more.

It wasn't hard to imagine how much the Qiu family hated this couple now.

They were constantly thinking of ways to take revenge on Ye Fan and Mufan Group.

Unfortunately, they weren't powerful enough, so there was no way they could even make a dent on a corporation as huge as Mufan Group.

But now, Mufan Group's retribution had come forthem.

"Hoho, Ye Fan, I'm so glad you're dead. This is retribution! All of this is your retribution! I'm here to watch for myself how everything you used to own will now belong to someone else."

Qiu Mu-Ying and Qiu Mu-Qi stood among the crowd and smiled maniacally. Their faces were filled with hatefulness and smugness.

The Qiu family had watched how this couple started. They had watched Ye Fan marry into the Qiu family, Qiu Mu-Cheng get disowned and thrown out, then the establishing of Mufan Real Estate and finally Ye Fan rising to become the leader of Jiangdong.

They had seen Ye Fan at his worst, and Qiu Mu-Cheng at her most helpless.

They had also witnessed the glory and honor that Mufan Group enjoyed.

One was a hero of the land, while the other was the empress of Jiangdong.

The Qiu family had watched how this couple had slowly risen to reach the pinnacle of all power in Jiangdong.

But now, they were also going to witness how this couple was going to be completely destroyed.

"It's like watching him build a tall building, host great banquets and shine brilliantly, then watch as the building collapses..." Qiu Mu-Qi and Qiu Mu-Cheng just kept smiling coldly to themselves like two idiots. These two had already fallen on hard times, but they didn't take any pity on Ye Fan and Qiu Mu-Cheng. Instead, they laughed merrily at their misfortune.

Perhaps that was human nature after all.

But while these two cousins were smiling wickedly within the great crowd of people outside the restaurant, the rich and powerful of the province had started to arrive.

Lei San of Jingzhou, Chen Ao of Jianghai, Li Er of Yunzhou, Wang Jie-Xi of Haozhou and anybody who was considered a rich and powerful person within Jiangdong were walking into Haiyuan Restaurant right

now.

The last time they came here, it was the Feast of the Sea and Sky that Mr Chu had hosted.

That banquet was held barely half a year ago, but things had changed so much in this short time.

Jiangdong was going to have a new leader today.

But this time, nobody felt much anticipation in their hearts.

The atmosphere was rather gloomy, in fact.

Li Er and the rest just filed into the restaurant with no expressions on their faces.

It didn't take long for all the guests to arrive.

The entire restaurant was now out of bounds to everyone else.

Nobody was allowed to go in or go out.

Everyone outside the restaurant had a bad feeling in their hearts when they saw this scenario.

"It's just a banquet, isn't it? Why did they close all the doors and windows as well? That's so weird," said someone in the crown quizzically.

The atmosphere before them was a little strange alright.

"Can't you see what's really happening? Today's banquet is clearly a trap for all these people. After this banquet, everything in Jiangdong will change completely," sighed an older man quietly.

A youngster next to him got a fright when he heard these words. "Are you saying that someone is going to die in there today? My god! Every person inside the restaurant right now is a rich and powerful representative of every city in Jiangdong! Surely the CEO of Fenghua Group isn't bold enough to actually kill them?"

The old man shook his head and replied, "One can be a king today and a commoner tomorrow. If Fenghua Group wants to truly take control of Jiangdong, then they have to get rid of all the factions that still support Mr Chu. The Li family of Yunzhou, the Lei family of Jingzhou and the Chen family of Jianghai in particular, are Jiangdong's most powerful families because they were the closest to Mr Chu."

"Do you think that the new King of Jiangdong would allow the powerful families closest to Mr Chu back then to survive? I'm afraid our Master Er might not survive tonight...After all, many lose their lives in a battle for power and profit since time immemorial." The old man let out a long sigh.

After Qiu Mu-Ying heard these words, she laughed coldly and said, "If that happens, he deserves it! It's too bad that Master Er chose the wrong team back then. What's this nonsense about Mr Chu? He's just a lowly country bumpkin and a cowardly live-in son-in-law. He used to be so influential and mighty, but he was just someone who looked good on the outside but had no substance on the inside."

"Look at what's happened now! Once that Mr Chu died, Mufan Group collapsed as well. If he was really that capable, it wouldn't have collapsed so quickly. Master

Er was blind for pledging his loyalty to such a man. Now that someone else is taking over and might get rid of him, Master Er can only blame himself and nobody else," said Qiu Mu-Ying mirthlessly. But while everyone was saying all these things, they had no idea that a green SUV had parked itself outside a shop several kilometers away.

The car door opened and a skinny young man walked out.

The man's icy gaze swept past the shop and landed on the wood carpenter standing at the door. His low voice quietly rang, "I want a coffin done in ten minutes."
