A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)
Chapter 1122 Who Do You Think You Are

Immediately after Ye Fan finished saying these words, someone started applauding.

A man in military uniform smiled as he made his way up the stairs of the front entrance of Haiyuan Restaurant.

He appeared at the door without any fear.

He laughed and clapped merrily at the same time.

"My my! Someone who doesn't fear a powerful family, and doesn't fear the country. I, Xu He, have seen many people in my life after being the commander-in-chief of a million valiant soldiers. But I have never seen someone who is as bold as you, Mr Chu. You actually dare to say that you can fight the entire country all by yourself? I wonder if your capabilities match up to your boldness!" said the man in a cold and sarcastic voice, as a nasty and unfriendly expression covered his face.

He wasn't afraid of Ye Fan at all, and his words were both mocking and provoking.

"How dare you! Who are you! How dare you speak to Mr Chu this way! Are you tired of living?!" shouted Li Er furiously.

But Lei San tugged at Li Er and whispered, "Li Er, watch your words. Look at the emblem on his shoulder - I'm afraid he's someone from the military." Lei San was more observant and noticed the golden emblem on the man's shoulder immediately.

"Golden leaves and one gold star. This man...this man is a major general?" someone in the crowd suddenly exclaimed loudly.

Many of the guests gasped and trembled when they heard this.

They immediately paled as they looked at the intruder.

A military man was a powerful weapon of any country!

A military commander was like the sharpest knife that a nation possessed.

Once one had control over the army, it was as good as being in control of the entire nation!

The army in itself represented strength.

An army general naturally had great strength in his hands.

Even though Li Er and the other men in the room had billions in assets and businesses, none of them dared to go against a military general.

Every general was backed by a tremendous amount of power.

These were people who could crush anything in their way with just one command.

After realizing Xur He's status, Li Er and the rest realized that the Xur family was already upon them.

Their hearts were immediately filled with despair.

Was death going to befall them after all?

The entire restaurant fell silent.

Nobody dared to say anything anymore.

Even the most powerful among them like Li Er and Lei San didn't dare to even make a squeak in front of this general.

This man exuded an air of authority by just standing there.

Only someone of high standing, one who could command thousands, could possibly exude such an air.

His stern and unforgiving expression looked authoritative even if he wasn't angry. Just the look on his face already sent chills down everyone's spine.

The only person who could still remain calm was Ye Fan.

Ye Fan was still seated at his table with his wife leaning against him even though Xur He had just said such provoking words.

Ye Fan put an arm around his wife, and used his other arm to raise the teacup to his lips.

He looked so relaxed and unworried, and was in stark contrast to the terror that was written all over everyone else's face.

"Young man, didn't you hear me talking to you? Aren't you going to answer me?" Xur He started to feel annoyed by the way Ye Fan was ignoring him, and the iciness on his expression intensified.

Ye Fan burst out laughing. "I'm not your father, you're not my son either. We don't know each other and we're not related by blood. Why should I answer you at all?"

"Why, you!" Xur He nearly fainted in anger at Ye Fan's response. His face was livid as he roared angrily, "How dare you spout such nonsense when you're already on the brink of death!"

"You are cruel to the people and you killed my nephew in Jiangdong. You have sullied your own reputation and your crimes are unforgivable! I have been commanded to kill you as well as all the other wicked powerful people who support you. Do you admit to your guilt?"

"Your nephew?" Ye Fan smiled even more brightly than before.

"Looks like you must be the uncle of that Xur Shao-Hua. Since you're a major general, I suppose you have your own troops to command and manage. I used to think that someone who could be entrusted with the military would be someone who could tell right from wrong, and would be a reasonable person. But it seems like all of you are just a bunch of barbaric idiots after all."

"Shut up! You little punk, how dare you insult me!" Xur He flew into a rage.

"Did I say something wrong? The first thing you did was to ask if I'm guilty of killing your nephew. But why didn't you ask why I wanted to kill your nephew? I have nothing to do with the Xur family in the first place. We don't know each other and we had no feud. But your nephew went around to get the powerful men in Jiangdong to gang up and harm my family, destroy my home, coveted my wife and even tried to blast me to death."

"If you really want to talk about crimes, your nephew is guilty of more crimes than anybody else could possibly think of. He deserved to die for all the things he did. If you knew how to differentiate right from wrong and was mature enough to understand the situation, you should be bowing to thank me for not punishing the rest of the Xur family along with him. Or at the very least, you should just remain silent and pretend that all this didn't happen."

"But it's too bad - you've chosen the worst path possible. If you're not an idiot, I don't know what you are," said Ye Fan as he shook his head. The iciness in his voice intensified as he went on. The temperature in the hall immediately dropped drastically.

"Nonsense! Shao-Hua has always been someone who abided by the rules, was sensible in the things he did and never went against the law! You are trying to wriggle out of this by accusing my nephew falsely! What a wicked man you are! I, Xur He, shall kill you today to uphold justice and protect this country!" roared Xur He furiously.

Ye Fan just shook his head.

If Xur He had decided against taking revenge after hearing what Ye Fan said, Ye Fan was prepared to let him off.

But he had overestimated Xur He.

Xur He looked like he was here to uphold justice and was a righteous man, but he turned out to be a man who didn't care about the facts and just wanted to avenge his nephew. Since that was the case, Ye Fan didn't see the need to be nice to him anymore.

He put his cup down and looked up coldly at the man before him before sneering, "You want to kill me? I'm afraid you're not capable of doing so." "What a joke! China has vast amounts of land with millions of soldiers! How could we possibly fail to take a mere gangster like you down? Today, I, Xur He, shall represent China in getting rid of you!" laughed Xur He mirthlessly as his angry and valiant sounding words blasted loudly in the restaurant.

"Represent China?" Ye Fan raised an eyebrow and snorted sarcastically.

"Out of the vast amounts of land that China has, how much of it could you represent? Out of the millions of soldiers this country has, how many do you really have control over? You're just a major general and you wouldn't have more than a few hundred at your command. You're nothing but an ant, a weakling, a despicable man who uses his power to meet your selfish goals! How dare you boldly claim to represent China? Who do you think you are?" Ye Fan asked question after question relentlessly in anger.

Every question he asked made Xur He's face turn a brighter shade of red, and he didn't know how to respond to Ye Fan.

The last question rumbled like thunder,

and the sheer pressure of Ye Fan's questioning made Xur He unconsciously take three steps back.
