A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)
Chapter 1069 Threat

"Mr Chu? Mr Chu, this is really a misunderstanding!" shouted Wu Wei-Tao desperately into the phone with a bitter feeling in his heart.

But the call had already ended.

Wu Wei-Tao's heart sank when he heard the dead tone of the phone.

But just when Wu Wei-Tao was on the brink of despair, the same number started calling again.

Wu Wei-Tao was instantly overjoyed.

He quickly picked up the call and used his most humble and respectful voice to say, "Mr Chu, you're willing to listen to my explanation? Everything before this was really just a misunderstanding!" Wu Wei-Tao thought Ye Fan had called him back, so he quickly took this chance to continue apologizing and explaining himself.

"Huh? What misunderstanding? Mayor Wu, what are you talking about? This is Niu Zhao-Yang. What do we do now? That young punk doesn't intend to leave at all.

Why don't you get someone over here to arrest him?" came Niu Zhao-Yang's rather puzzled voice over the phone.

It was obvious that Ye Fan wasn't leaving even after he had spoken to Wu Wei-Tao.

So Niu Zhao-Yang had no choice but to call Wu Wei-Tao again.

"Bloody hell, Niu Zhao-Yang, you've really done me in this time! Die by yourself if you want to! Hurry up and scram! Get out of there! Otherwise, if Mr Chu beats all of you to death, I won't bother collecting your bodies!" yelled Wu Wei-Tao explosively once he realized it was Niu Zhao-Yang on the line.

"But Mayor Wu, we're not done with the renovation work yet..."

"Forget about it! If you want to die, then continue to renovations! Damn it! Why do I know an idiot like you?!"

Wu Wei-Tao was going to die from his anger soon.

He even felt like kicking Niu Zhao-Yang if he could.

He had already offended Ye Fan, and Niu Zhao-Yang's phone call had made things even worse.

Now Ye Fan had both old and new scores to settle with him.

Wu Wei-Tao was really worried that Ye Fan would come and teach him a lesson.

After hanging up, Wu Wei-Tao was still visibly shaken and his expression was nasty.

"Wei-Tao, what's happened? Why do you look so frightened? Did something bad happen at work?" asked a beautiful lady by his side.

She had married him for so many years and this was the first time she had seen him so terrified.

Wu Wei-Tao sighed. "I'm afraid I've really angered Mr Chu this time round. It's my fault too. I shouldn't have been part of

such things."

Wu Wei-Tao felt a deep sense of regret.

He didn't need to take sides in this sort of thing in the first place. He should have remained neutral so he would help neither side and offend neither side. He would have been safe that way.

But Wu Wei-Tao thought that since Ye Fan was already dead and Mufan Group was like a toothless tiger now, he didn't need to be afraid anymore.

So he ended up trying to get close to the Lu and Xu families by helping them to chase Qiu Mu-Cheng out from Mount Yunding Villa.

It wasn't really anything serious and nobody died anyway. But Wu Wei-Tao never expected that Ye Fan wasn't dead and actually came back.

He had definitely made Ye Fan furious this time.

After all, everyone in Jiangdong knew how much Ye Fan loved and protected his wife at all costs.

Everyone in Jiangdong knew how much Ye Fan doted on his wife.

After that battle at Mount Tai, Ye Fan had even turned down an invitation to dinner by the mayor of Jingzhou because he was in a hurry to go home and cook for his wife.

This time, Wu Wei-Tao felt like he was standing right in front of the barrel of a gun.

"Mr Chu? You mean that so called King of Jiangdong? Isn't he just a gangster? It's so easy for you to deal with him, so he should be the one who's afraid of you. Why are you afraid of him instead?" his wife was still confused.

"You're just an ignorant woman! What do you know?!" shouted Wu Wei-Tao so suddenly that his wife shut her mouth in shock.

"Don't tell me you really think that Ye Fan is just some hooligan with no background? The head of the Mo family in Yanjing was so respectful to Ye Fan back then. I don't think this Ye Fan is as simple as he looks. Even though I don't know what he's relying on, I'm very sure he's not someone we can afford to offend." Wu Wei-Tao's expression was grim and he was feeling terribly worried.

"Then...then what do we do now?" His wife started to feel frightened as well after hearing what Wu Wei-Tao said.

Wu Wei-Tao shook his head. "I don't have good ideas. I suppose we have to just do what we can and hope for the best."

After that, Wu Wei-Tao found Li Er's number and decided to give Li Er a call.

He had clearly fallen out of favor with Ye Fan, so he needed a third person to mediate between them.

The best person for this job was obviously Li Er.

"Oh my, what a rare call! Mayor Wu, you're always so busy, I didn't expect you to have time for uncouth people like me," came Li Er's rather sarcastic voice.

Li Er could already guess why Wu Wei-Tao was calling him.

"Mr Li, don't tease me like that. Even if I don't have time for anybody else, I will definitely make time for you. You are Mr Chu's right hand man now, so I have to count on you to throw in a few good words for me in front of Mr Chu from now on," said Wu Wei-Tao very politely as he humbled himself as much as he could.

He needed Li Er to do him a favor after all.

"Oh please don't say such things. I won't be part of your feud with Mr Chu. You've dug this grave for yourself, so you can be the one to fill it," Li Er refused him outright.

The person Wu Wei-Tao had offended was Mr Chu's wife.

Everyone knew that doing such a thing would land one in hot soup!

Wu Wei-Tao was now in hot soup.

Li Er wasn't going to put himself in the same bowl of soup for Wu Wei-Tao's sake.

"Mr Li, are you really going to sit back and not do anything? You should know that if Mr Chu and I fall out with one another, the rest of you might run into some unforeseen circumstances," said Wu Wei-Tao in a colder voice than before.

Li Er burst out laughing.

"Mayor Wu, leave these threatening words for Mr Chu instead. Since we're friends, I'd advise you not to do that. Mr Chu is someone who prefers a softer approach. If you threaten him outright like this, I'm afraid you might not be able to bear the consequences of doing so."

"Just last night, Lu Ming-Feng threatened Mr Chu. I'm sure the Lu family is a much more powerful and influential family compared to you. But do you know what Mr Chu said?" "What did he say?" Wu Wei-Tao quickly

asked.

Li Er paused for a moment before replying, "Mr Chu wants to make sure Lu Ming-Feng and Xur Shao-Hua both die in Jiangdong!"

WHAT?!
