A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)
Chapter 1070 Persuade

"What did you say?! Mr Chu wants to kill Lu Ming-Feng and Xur Shao-Hua? How could he do that? Is he nuts? Or is he unaware of how powerful the Lu and Xur families are?" Wu Wei-Tao couldn't sit still

anymore after hearing what Li Er told him.

He got up from the sofa with a start with widened eyes. His heart was filled with both fear and terror.

He wasn't overreacting, neither was he worrying for nothing. Wu Wei-Tao knew how powerful these two families really were.

These two men were both very likely to become the next head of their families too.

If they both died here, then not only would Ye Fan be in trouble, but he would get into trouble as well since he was the mayor of Yunzhou.

This would also cause a huge shakeup in every circle of Jiangdong.

This was a matter that could affect almost everyone.

It was hard for Wu Wei-Tao to remain calm.

"Li Er, I don't care how you do it, but you have to stop Mr Chu from carrying out this insane and dangerous idea. You know what will happen to Jiangdong if Lu Ming-Feng and Xur Shao-Hua really perish here. You're definitely going to lose your position as the most powerful man in Yunzhou. Lei San of Jingzhou and Wang Jie-Xi of Haozhou are equally in trouble since all of you are in Mr Chu's camp," said Wu Wei- Tao gravely to Li Er with a heavy heart.

Li Er replied him, "Mayor Wu, don't just talk about us. I'm sure you won't be able to keep your position either if it happens!"

"With regard to this matter, we're really all in the same boat. It's impossible for me to talk to Mr Chu anymore, so I have to rely on you to stop Mr Chu from doing something like this," said Wu Wei-Tao in a very serious voice.

Li Er replied in a grim voice, "I will handle Mr Chu's side as best as I can. But I'll need you to keep a close watch over Lu Ming-Feng and Xur Shao-Hua. Don't let those two do anything that might provoke Mr Chu, otherwise, nobody will be able to save them! Also, if you can, get them to leave Jiangdong as soon as possible. This place doesn't belong to them in the first place. Once they return to Yanjing, nothing will happen."

This phone call went on for a long time.

Li Er and Wu Wei-Tao eventually came to an agreement.

Li Er was in charge of persuading Ye Fan while Wu Wei-Tao had to follow up on the two scions.

Since this was an urgent matter, Wu Wei-Tao immediately called Lu Ming-Feng after hanging up with Li Er.

"Young Master Lu, I've heard about what happened at Haiyuan Restaurant. Are you alright? If your injuries are serious, I can get someone to send you back to Yanjing for treat right away. Jiangdong is very backward compared to Yanjing, so our medical facilities are very poor. It's better for you to return to Yanjing and get the best treatment you can."

Wu Wei-Tao really went all out to persuade them to return to Yanjing. He came up with a really lame reason since he couldn't chase them out directly.

Wu Wei-Tao had already offended Ye Fan, so he couldn't afford to offend Lu Ming-Feng as well.

There was no way he could tell them to run for their lives because Ye Fan wanted to kill them.

These youngsters were very prideful, so if he said something like that, they might be even more determined to stay instead.

Wu Wei-Tao had no choice but to use some other roundabout way to force them out of Jiangdong.

"Thanks for your concern. Once I've settled everything here, I will return to Yanjing to be treated. I'll probably go back either tomorrow or the day after," replied Lu Ming-Feng calmly.

He had planned it all out already. As long as tonight's operation went well, he would return to Yanjing within the next couple of days.

Just like what Wu Wei-Tao said, Jiangdong's medical facilities weren't as good as Yanjing's, and Ye Fan had injured him quite badly, so he was definitely going back to Yanjing to get the best treatment he could.

"That's great, that's great. Do let me know when you're leaving, I'll see you off personally."

Wu Wei-Tao breathed a long sigh of relief when he heard that Lu Ming-Feng was leaving so soon.

Once they left, then he wouldn't have to worry anymore.

While Wu Wei-Tao had settled his side, Li Er was also hard at work.

But instead of calling Ye Fan, Li Er called Ye Fan's mother instead.

Li Er and the rest had already tried persuading Ye Fan at the banquet in Haiyuan Restaurant but it hadn't worked, so he knew there was no point in calling Ye Fan to say the same thing. Ye Fan wouldn't have any of it.

In such a situation, Li Er had to make use of someone else close to Ye Fan instead.

He felt that a close relative would be better able to hold Ye Fan back.

The minute Ye Xi-Mei understood the seriousness and implications of the entire situation, she agreed to talk Ye Fan out of it.

"Auntie Ye, Jiangdong is in your hands!" Li Er thanked her profusely.

Lu Ming-Feng and Xur Shao-Hua's deaths would definitely implicate all of Jiangdong.

Their background was simply too powerful for anyone to hold up against!

Ye Xi-Mei and Xu Lei were already on their way to Yunzhou because they were worried about Ye Fan.

Once they found out that Ye Fan had returned to Mount Yunding Villa, they went to look for him.

"Mum, Lei, what brings the both of you here?" Ye Fan quickly ran out to receive them.

"Lei is very worried about you, so she insisted on visiting you," said Ye Xi-Mei.

Xu Lei's face immediately reddened. "Auntie Mei, what are you talking about? If Mu-Cheng hears this, she will misunderstand."

"What's there to misunderstand? You are my goddaughter, so you are Fan's younger sister. There's nothing wrong with a younger sister showing concern for her older brother. Look at how red your face is! Are you guilty of something?" Ye Xi-Mei's words made Xu Lei blush even harder.

This heartwarming scene melted Ye Fan's icy cold heart immediately.

The expression on his face instantly became gentler.

"Alright, Mum, don't tease Lei anymore. Come in, come in. You haven't had dinner yet, right? I'll cook for you guys now," laughed Ye Fan as he led the two ladies in.

The villa was undergoing renovation, but the interior only went through a change of furniture, so that part was already done.

The only renovation work left was some landscaping work in the courtyard.

So it wasn't a problem for all of them to move back into the house.

"Fan, I'll come and help you too." Xu Lei didn't look like the head of some powerful family when she was with Ye Fan. She was lively and casual around him, like a pretty girl who lived in the house next door. "Do you know how to cook at all? Don't be like Mu-Cheng and be more of a hindrance than help, ok?"

After going through a bad experience with Qiu Mu-Cheng when she tried to help him in the kitchen, Ye Fan was quite suspicious of all these pampered daughters' culinary skills.

"Humph! How dare you look down on me! When I was looking for you in Jiangdong, I had to cook for myself most of the time!" grumbled Xu Lei angrily.
