A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage) -
Chapter 1060 Ye Fan's Real Plan
"This...this is impossible. This is definitely impossible. Elder Wei is a grandmaster and he's hired by Shao-Hua to protect the entire clan. How could he die like this? This is simply impossible!" Lu Ming-Feng was beginning to panic when he saw the very cold and dead body lying inside the coffin.
It was impossible for him to stay calm now.
Besides his powerful background, the other thing he was relying on to conquer Jiangdong was Wei Wu-Ya.
But now, Wei Wu-Ya was dead.
Lu Ming-Feng was panicky and frightened.
"What...what did you do? What on earth did you do?! How dare you kill Elder Wei?!" Lu Ming-Feng was on the verge of losing his mind as he started yelling and questioning Ye Fan loudly with reddened eyes.
But Ye Fan couldn't care less about what he was saying. His striking features were covered with a layer of frost.
His icy voice sounded like it came from the depths of an abyss, which made everyone shiver in fear.
"I not only dare to kill him, but I also dare to kill you too!"
HUU!
A cold wind suddenly gusted.
Ye Fan's expression suddenly became even more frosty than before.
Murder seeped from his very pores.
"You...what are you trying to do?!" Lu Ming-Feng was really frantic now.
He realized that none of the things that had protected him all these years were working now.
Even his identity as a descendant of the Lu family wasn't providing him any protection now.
This was the first time he was left completely defenseless in front of
someone else's execution blade.
Lu Ming-Feng was in such a panic that he stumbled over his own feet and collapsed onto the floor.
He looked in despair as Ye Fan's footsteps drew near to him.
But just before Ye Fan could strike, someone suddenly dashed forward and held Ye Fan back.
"Mr Chu, don't do it! The Lu family is extremely powerful and we really can't afford to offend them. If you really kill him today, his family will make sure that disaster befalls both yourself and Jiangdong! Besides, his best friend, Xur Shao-Hua, is also the scion of another powerful family in Yanjing. If Lu Ming-Feng dies, Xur Shao-Hua will probably avenge him too."
"If two extremely powerful families decide to strike you at the same time, I'm afraid that you will be in grave danger! Mr Chu, please consider the bigger picture first before letting your anger get the better of you," pleaded Li Er in a miserable voice as he stood in front of Ye Fan.
Lei San and Wang Jie-Xi also stumbled over in support of what Li Er said. "Mr Chu, he's right. This Lu Ming-Feng has already learnt his lesson, so there's no need to kill him off. It's better to look at the bigger picture for the sake of Jiangdong!" they tried hard to persuade him against killing Lu Ming-Feng.
They were sure that the Lu family would fly into a rage if Ye Fan really killed Lu Ming-Feng now. They knew that Lu Ming-Feng was the heir to the Lu family and was of very high standing in the family.
If he was killed, the Lu family would definitely go all out to make sure Ye Fan paid for doing such a thing.
Once that happened, Ye Fan would find himself in very dangerous circumstances again.
And Ye Fan wouldn't be the only one receiving the brunt of the Lu family's wrath either. All of Jiangdong would suffer along with him.
That wasn't something that Li Er and the others wanted to see.
In the end, Ye Fan held himself back after the three older men stopped him.
He looked down at the pathetic looking Lu Ming-Feng at his feet and said coldly, "Since Li Er and the rest have spoken up for you, I'll let you off this time. Get lost before I change my mind. Get out of Yunzhou and out of Jiangdong."
These words were spoken without any emotion whatsoever.
They were as calm as the waters inside an ancient unused well.
Ye Fan was always like this. He was calm even when he was saying nasty things.
He looked so nonchalant, it was as if he was just casually catching up with Lu Ming-Feng.
But the severe implications of those words were fear-inducing.
Lu Ming-Feng didn't dare to say anything now.
He had already lost all courage when he saw Wei Wu-Ya's dead body earlier.
He didn't care about his image or dignity anymore and literally scrambled out of the restaurant.
"Phew..."
Li Er and the rest breathed a long sigh of relief after Lu Ming-Feng ran off.
The pressure they had felt in their hearts had dissipated.
"Oh my god, that was frightening. Mr Chu, I'm so glad you let him off. Otherwise, I really don't know what terrible things might befall Jiangdong in the future. I was really afraid that you were going to kill him earlier," said Li Er as continued to calm himself down.
He sounded like he had just survived a terrible ordeal.
Li Er and the other two had really been terribly anxious.
Just a few minutes ago, their hearts were about to leap out of their mouths. They were afraid that Ye Fan might really kill Lu Ming-Feng in an act of rashness.
After all, it was in line with Ye Fan's character to do something like that.
Thankfully, Ye Fan stopped himself in time.
As long as Lu Ming-Feng wasn't dead, then there was still a chance to turn the tables on him.
Jiangdong would still be Mr Chu's.
But Ye Fan didn't reply Li Er. Instead, he walked to the sofa and poured himself a cup of tea.
The fragrance of the tea soon rose into the air along with the steam, but it failed to warm up Ye Fan's frosty look.
"These people have made a mess of Jiangdong, destroyed my business, hurt my wife and tried to kill my mother. Did you think I would really let him off so easily?" sneered Ye Fan coldly as he held the teacup in his hands.
The iciness in his eyes remained chilling.
Li Er was stunned to hear these words. "Then Mr Chu, just now you..."
Ye Fan shook his head and laughed. "If I didn't let him go, how would I be able to find out where Xur Shao-Hua is hiding himself? I'm not going to let go of either one."
What?
Li Er and the other two men shuddered at this.
Their eyes widened in shock.
"So...so...Mr Chu, you intend to...kill them both?" asked Li Er in horror. He was feeling numb all over from fright.
He thought that Ye Fan had shown Lu Ming-Feng mercy because he heeded his advice and was afraid of blowing matters up since the Lu family was really formidable. But his assumptions had been wrong.
Perhaps, Ye Fan had never intended to let them off from the beginning.
Li Er's horrified voice was still echoing in the ballroom.
But Ye Fan didn't reply and just smiled.
He picked up his teacup, threw his head back and drank the whole cup of tea down.
HUUU...
The wind made the clouds roll quickly through the skies.
An ominous feeling went through the doors and windows to blow through the ballroom.
Everyone couldn't help but shiver.
