A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)
Chapter 1124 Please, Help Turn the Tides!

Thousands of soldiers had surrounded Haiyuan Restaurant.

The restaurant that had long been a symbol of status and power was now in a crisis.

Everyone in the restaurant was still arguing with one another. The grand and opulent wedding banquet had turned into chaos.

Shen Fei's face was also covered with fear. He peeked out and saw the huge numbers of soldiers outside and his gaze was filled with despair.

Was there really no way out?

Did they really have to become criminals now?

But Shen Fei didn't want his life to end this way. He hadn't gotten married yet and he hadn't carved a career out for himself yet either. His life had barely just started.

He shook his head profusely with fear in his eyes. He refused to accept the idea of spending the rest of his life in jail.

In his panic, he looked at Ye Fan once more.

To him, the only person who could possibly get them out of this crisis in this entire restaurant had got to be Ye Fan.

Left with no other choice, Shen Fei walked towards Ye Fan, bowed deeply and pleaded with Ye Fan.

"Jiangdong is in trouble and we have nobody to turn to. Mr Chu, please think of something and help us to get out of this crisis!" Shen Fei then got down on his knees and lay prostrate in front of Ye Fan as he continued to beg Ye Fan.

"Mr Chu, please, save Jiangdong!" Shen Fei's voice rang out brightly and echoed through the whole hall.

The entire restaurant fell silent.

Old Master Xia stopped quibbling and Ma Fei stopped arguing.

Li Er and Lei San also looked towards Ye Fan.

Ye Fan was still sitting calmly in his chair.

Despite the troops outside the restaurant, this man remained as calm as ever.

Regardless of how heavy or turbulent the storm might be out there, none of it seemed to affect him in any way.

He was still eating and drinking at the table with his wife next to him.

His tranquility was in stark contrast to the quarreling and panic of everyone else.

Shen Fei was still pleading with Ye Fan as he remained kneeling on the floor. His reverent pleas echoes in the restaurant. Just then, Xia Xue came walking over with a pale face.

She fell to her knees like Shen Fei did, and begged him in a respectful voice, "Mr Chu, please, save Jiangdong!"

Her eyes were red as she kowtowed to Ye Fan. Her gentle voice was filled with great resolute and confidence in Ye Fan.

It was as if she was entrusting her life to Ye Fan alone.

Ye Fan looked at the two kneeling in front of him and laughed. "Oh? How interesting. Your father told me to run, while your grandfather told me to go out and surrender. None of the bigwigs of Jiangdong think I have the ability to tide through this crisis. Why do you two young ones trust me so much? Are both of you truly convinced that I have the ability to fight the army and powerful Yanjing families?" asked Ye Fan curiously as he looked at Shen Fei and Xia Xue while drinking his tea.

He was still so calm. The soldiers outside didn't ruffle him at all.

"There's no concrete reason, I just believe in you, Brother Fan. I believe that you're not someone who talks bigger than what you're capable of. You said that you weren't afraid of the Xur family, or Yanjing families or even the entire nation. Master Er and my father may not believe in you, but I, Shen Fei, absolutely trusts in you. I've known you for so long, and every time you say something that sounds crazy, it turns out to be 100% true," said Shen Fei in a passionate voice.

Shen Fei had hung out with Ye Fan for so long. He had known him from the battle at Mount Tai, until the Feast of the Sea and Sky, and now, they were surrounded by thousands of soldiers.

Shen Fei was the one who watched Ye Fan go from a despised live-in son-in-law to eventually stand at the pinnacle of power in Jiangdong.

During this journey, Ye Fan had been doubted and disdained so many times.

Nobody thought Ye Fan would win at Mount Tai, but he took only one blow to kill Wu He-Rong!

Everyone thought that Ye Fan had run away from the battle at Dongchang Lake in fear, but Ye Fan got the last laugh in the end.

Nobody expected Ye Fan to know anything about rock gambling during the

Midautumn Festival Night auction, but he ended up discovering the rock with imperial jade.

History had proven time and again that this young man seated here was able to pull off miracles. Shen Fei didn't need any other reason to believe in him.

"That's right. I knew Mr Chu wasn't an ordinary person from the first time I met you. You are so young, but you became the leader in Jiangdong. One should not use an ordinary lens to view someone like Mr Chu. You created a miracle back at the battle of Mount Tai, so I believe that Mr Chu can turn the tides again and save our Jiangdong!" said Xia Xue in her gentle voice. She looked at Ye Fan with great reverence and admiration.

This baseless admiration for Ye Fan was what made Xia Xue believe in Ye Fan. She was very certain that as long as Mr Chu was alive, Jiangdong would remain standing!

As long as Mr Chu did not fall, then all the powerful of Jiangdong would not fall

either.

Xia Xue and Shen Fei's passionate voices echoed for a long time in the hall.

The words of the two youngsters might have seemed childish and naive to the older ones, but they made sense too.

Throughout Mr Chu's journey to success, he had made the impossible possible, and had turned the tables despite everyone's doubts of him.

The same thing had happened at Mount Tai, the Feast of the Sea and Sky, and Dongchang Lake.

Many of the people in the restaurant stopped fighting with one another, turning instead to kneel before Ye Fan like what Shen Fei and Xia Xue did.

"Jiangdong is in danger and we are surrounded by soldiers! Mr Chu, please turn the tides and save our Jiangdong!"

There was a domino effect once one person came forward.

More and more people started coming forward with pleading and hopeful looks in their eyes as they fell to their knees and begged Ye Fan, "Mr Chu, please save Jiangdong!" "Mr Chu, please save Jiangdong!"

Their cries of help merged into one and filled the restaurant like a strong gust of wind.

Li Er was stunned by this change in attitude.

He felt that Shen Fei and Xia Xue was crazy for saying such things. That was as good as sending Mr Chu to his death.

There were thousands of soldiers out there. How could Mr Chu take them on by himself?

He would definitely die!

But Lei San laughed and shook his head. "Li Er, perhaps we should trust in Mr Chu too. We should believe in him the same way we believed that he could turn the tides back then. If even we don't believe in M Chu's abilities, then how could we continue working for him?"

Li Er remained silent for a long time after hearing what Lei San said. Then he slowly broke into a smile.

Lei San was right. As Ye Fan's subordinates, they had to trust in their leader's abilities.

Li Er and Lei San quickly went up to kneel down and plead with him as well.

"Mr Chu, please save Jiangdong!"

"Mr Chu, please turn the tides and save Jiangdong!"

Their voices merged into one and no other sound besides their pleading could be heard.
