A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)
Chapter 1072 Stare from the Abyss

Xu Lei and Ye Xi-Mei continued to talk Ye Fan out of killing Lu Ming-Feng and Xur Shao-Hua.

After seeing how worried the two ladies looked, Ye Fan started to waver a little.

He felt that perhaps he should listen to all of them and let Lu Ming-Feng and Xur Shao-Hua off.

Even though Ye Fan really wasn't afraid of the Lu and Xur families, his mother was right. Even if he was confident of being the ultimate victor, Jiangdong would definitely be in turmoil because of his actions. He would also cause all the women in his life to become worried for him.

Ye Fan finally nodded after the two ladies tried so hard to persuade him.

"Alright Mum, I understand. As long as Lu Ming-Feng and Xur Shao-Hua promise to never set foot into Jiangdong again, I will spare their lives and let them leave." 'That'll be for the best." Ye Xi-Mei breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that her son had finally decided to take a step back. The pressure she felt in her heart was finally gone.

Before coming here, Ye Xi-Mei was so worried when she heard about everything from Li Er.

The Ye family was just a small family from the countryside, so they couldn't help Ye Fan at all.

If Ye Fan really went to the extreme, Ye Fan would have to face the wrath of the two powerful families all by himself.

Ye Fan didn't have a powerful family to fall back on like Lu Ming-Feng and Xur Shao-Hua did.

Of course, if Ye Fan had not been removed from the Chu clan's genealogy, his identity as the eldest grandchild with the 'Tian' character in his name would be enough for him to do anything without any fear. But the Chu family had chased Ye Fan and his mother out a decade ago.

This background of Ye Fan's didn't provide him with any protection, and only brought harm to him instead.

So Ye Xi-Mei was determined to talk her son round.

She was so glad that it had gone smoothly.

Ye Xi-Mei knew Ye Fan well. She knew that her son was a sentimental and loyal man.

He didn't mind suffering pain, but he couldn't stand letting the people he loved suffer.

So if she used the safety of people like Qiu Mu-Cheng and Xu Lei to talk Ye Fan round, she knew that her son would relent and let Lu Ming-Feng and Xur Shao-Hua off.

After Ye Fan promised to stop, Ye Xi-Mei gave a call to Li Er and told him about it.

"Has Mr Chu decided to step back? That's great! I'm so glad to hear this! Thank you so much, Madam Ye, thank you! You are a really noble mother and you are a mother to all of us in Jiangdong. You have prevented a terrible catastrophe! You are a benefactor to Jiangdong!" Li Er was over the moon when he received the call.

He didn't have high hopes initially, and getting Ye Xi-Mei to persuade Ye Fan was really a desperate idea.

He didn't expect it to work.

A mother knew her son the best after all.

"Mr Li, you're exaggerating. How could a simple woman like me become a benefactor to all of Jiangdong?" said Ye Xi-Mei in alarm. She didn't expect her son's decision to make Li Er this excited. "No, no, it's not an exaggeration at all. You have really stopped a terrible disaster from befalling Jiangdong," said Li Er gratefully.

After some time, Li Er finally hung up and went to call Wu Wei-Tao to tell him that Ye Fan had decided to let the two men off. He also emphasized on making sure that the two men didn't provoke Ye Fan anymore and leave Jiangdong as soon as possible.

Li Er was also afraid that Mr Chu might suddenly change his mind.

But of course, Ye Fan knew nothing about what was going on between Li Er and Wu Wei-Tao.

It had been such a long time since he enjoyed such peace and quiet.

Ye Fan sat in the living room and watched TV with his mother and Xu Lei.

Ye Fan had tried calling Qiu Mu-Cheng, but the call didn't get through.

He thought that she might be busy, so he didn't call her again and waited for her to return the call.

"Fan, Lei, come and have some fruit." Ye Xi-Mei cut some fruit and brought it out for them.

But since the movie had reached an exciting part, neither Xu Lei nor Ye Fan cared about eating anything now. Their eyes were both glued to the TV.

This was a thriller, so Xu Lei hugged a cushion and curled up on the sofa in fear. She started to inch closer to Ye Fan subconsciously and her body was trembling slightly.

Ye Fan smiled helplessly when he saw this.

Sometimes he felt that women were really very interesting creatures.

Xu Lei was a good example now. She was very scared, but she refused to turn her eyes away from the TV.

This odd masochistic behavior really amused him.

But just when Ye Fan was about to laugh at Xu Lei.

Ye Fan seemed to suddenly sense something and he turned around with a start.

His face instantly paled.

"Oh no! Mum, get down!" shouted Ye Fan.

BOOM!

A loud blast soon followed.

The blast shook the entire house and it was ear deafening.

It sounded like rolling thunder and the sound of a landslide. Mount Yunding couldn't stop shaking.

Almost half of Yunzhou had heard this terrible blast.

When the people nearby looked up, they saw that the peak of Mount Yunding was covered in flames.

"Oh my god!"

"What happened?"

"What was that blast?" "Did the gas explode?"

The foot of the mountain was in chaos.

Many people had gathered and looked in horror at the huge flames rising into the sky.

A man's mirthless laughter could be heard not too far from the site of the explosion. "Mission complete, let's go!"

He flung his cigarette onto the ground and snuffed it out with his shoe.

He disassembled the weapons and was ready to go back and enjoy his wine.

"Team Leader, aren't we going to confirm this first?" asked one of his subordinates.

Yang Yun shook his head. "That won't be necessary. Even if that Mr Chu is made from steel and iron, he would have melted into water from the heat of that blast," said Yang Yun proudly.

He had served in the army for many years and he knew what these grenades were capable of.

One grenade alone could make a hole in the hard exterior of a tank.

They had shot ten grenades just now.

All ten hit the house!

The villa had already been razed to the ground, and the peak of the mountain was on fire.

If that Mr Chu still didn't die under such dire circumstances, Yang Yun was ready to do a live broadcast of himself eating poop.

"Well, that's also true." The other team members nodded in agreement.

The five of them quickly packed up and got ready to leave while it was still dark and the fire brigade hadn't arrived yet.

But before they could leave...

HUU!

A strong gust of wind suddenly blew past them.

Yang Yun and his team saw the silhouette of a skinny young man standing in the midst of the flames.

He stood with his hands behind his back and a cold smile spread across his face.

The flames shot into the sky while the smoke billowed.

He stood in between the dark of the night and the bright and glaring fire.

He looked like a demon that had crawled out from the depths of an abyss and was staring at them from the gates of hell.
