A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)
Chapter 1160 Xu Lei Sounds Him Out

Xu Feng-Liang felt that it was impossible for Mr Chu to even defend himself against the Lu and Xur families. How could he possibly have forced them to leave Yanjing? However, Xu Lei shook her head and laughed gently.

"What would you know about Fan's true prowess?" Xu Lei smiled as she took out her phone and called Ye Fan.

She had a feeling that all this had something to do with him.

Even though it defied logic for the Lu and Xur families to submit to Ye Fan, sometimes, her instincts surpassed reason.

However, Xu Feng-Liang remained suspicious after he heard what Xu Lei said until Xu Lei called Ye Fan to ask.

"Fan, are you the root behind the events that happened at the Lu and Xur families?" asked Xu Lei bluntly without any perfunctory conversation.

"What events?" Ye Fan seemed curious and unknowing.

Xu Feng-Liang instantly smiled.

Sure enough, this had nothing to do with Ye Fan.

"I told you that you were overthinking it. Even if the Lu and Xur families were to offend anyone, it wouldn't be Mr Chu."

Xu Feng-Liang shook his head and laughed.

However, Xu Lei ignored what he said and kept asking Ye Fan.

"The Lu family was made to move out of their residence, Lu He was suspended, and Xur Hai-Sheng was..."

Xu Lei told Ye Fan about what happened to the Lu and Xur families briefly.

Ye Fan smiled calmly and said, "Really? I think it had something to do with Li Hong-Ze. He promised to answer to me. I think this is his way of being accountable to

me."

Hmm?

Xu Feng-Liang was instantly stunned, and his eyes hastily widened.

Was Mr Chu really the cause of the catastrophe that befell the Lu and Xur families?

But...how was that possible?

Xu Feng-Liang was filled with shock.

He couldn't imagine someone having the power to make both these families bow.

In the past, Xu Feng-Liang felt that both families were sure to kill Ye Fan.

Xu Feng-Liang even planned on replacing Xu Lei as the head of the Xu family after Ye Fan died.

After all, since time immemorial, a son was called upon to inherit his father's legacy.

Since Xu Lei was a woman, she would have to marry sooner or later and become someone else's wife.

When that happened and Xu Feng-Liang couldn't gain control of the family, the Xu family would fall into the hands of an outsider.

In the past, Xu Feng-Liang didn't dare to touch Xu Lei. This was mainly because Ye Fan was a threat to the Xu family.

Many people knew how close Xu Lei and Ye Fan were.

Xu Lei also became the head of the family with Ye Fan's support.

In other words, Xu Lei wouldn't be where she was today without Ye Fan's support.

If Ye Fan were to die at the hands of the Lu and Xur families, he would no longer be a threat to Xu Feng-Liang.

However, Xu Feng-Liang had been too happy too early.

Xu Feng-Liang had underestimated Ye Fan's true powers.

"It seems this young man is hiding some explosive background or power, right?"

Xu Feng-Liang was even more terrified of Ye Fan now.

All his evil intentions instantly dissipated with the wind.

Fortunately, Xu Feng-Liang didn't attack Xu Lei. Otherwise, he would end up no better than Lu Cang-Qiong and Xur Jun-Lin.

However, Xu Feng-Liang could only think about this in his heart without saying it in the open.

On the surface, he praised Mr Chu for his prowess and his admiration for Ye Fan.

At the same time, Xu Feng-Liang asked Xu Lei curiously, "Can you ask Mr Chu how he managed to make the Lu and Xur family bow to him? in the future, maybe we can use the same trick if they offend us again."

However, Xu Lei paid no attention to Xu Feng-Liang. Instead, she laughed happily, "I just knew you had something to do with this. Fan, now that the problem has been solved, when are you coming to the capital to visit me?"

Xu Lei whined sweetly as she chatted with Ye Fan.

She hung up the phone before long.

Xu Feng-Liang hurriedly asked, "What did Mr Chu say? How did he trample the Lu and Xur families beneath his feet?"

Xu Lei ignored him initially. She just looked back down at the work in front of her.

But after he kept asking her the same question, Xu Lei replied, "Don't you think you have asked too much?"

"I..." Xu Feng-Liang's face twitched as he froze in his steps.

Xu Lei raised her head and looked at him. "Who are you to pry into Fan? I know you've always had a problem with both of us. You think that I am unfit to be head of this household. I know you were waiting for Fan to be killed by the Lu and Xur families, then attack me."

"No...no such thing..." Xu Feng-Liang panicked instantly.

He felt as though the young woman in front of him had seen right through him.

At this moment, Xu Feng-Liang felt she was starting to look less like the niece he knew before.

Xu Lei smiled nonchalantly towards Xu Feng-Liang's explanation, "Don't panic. Regardless of whether you have those thoughts, I don't care. You are unable to hurt me now. In that case, you better prepare yourself mentally and do your job. it is best not to harbor certain thoughts."

Xu Lei looked at her second uncle with her exquisite face beaming.

However, her smile felt spine chilling to Xu Feng-Liang.

For the first time, Xu Feng-Liang trembled in front of this frail woman.

After Xu Lei finished her words, she left and retired to her room.

However, she wasn't making empty threats at Xu Feng-Liang.

How could Xu Lei make no preparation for an attack from this uncle of hers?

A long time ago, Ye Fan pushed for Xu Lei to become the head of the family. So she removed all the people from powerful positions and traded them with her own.

In that way, Xu Lei was in complete control of all the major aspects of the family.

Even if some mishap befell Ye Fan, it wouldn't be that easy for Xu Feng-Liang to take control.

Moreover, the Xue family was still around to protect Xu Lei in Yanjing.
