A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage) -
Chapter 1202 The Repentant Seeks the Punishment He...
Lu Tian-He was going to blow up.
He had spent a great deal of effort and time to get Ye Fan to accept the position of instructor in the military.
But these idiots had just driven away the man whom he had worked so hard to get into the military.
That wasn't the worst of it all.
Wu Yang had offended Ye Fan. The grave offense that he had caused Ye Fan might result in Lu Tian-He having to suffer Ye Fan's wrath too.
Ye Fan was a man whom Ye Qing-Tian held in high regard and a powerful martial artist who had earned the rights to enter War God Castle. Lu Tian-He would do anything to earn Ye Fan's favor. But now, Wu Yang had done the opposite and offended Ye Fan so terribly that there was no way Ye Fan would think well of them.
Wu Yang should thank the heavens for his position as the commander-in-chief. Lu Tian-He would have killed anyone else with a lesser office for what he had done.
"These idiots have ruined our grand plans!"
They were going to drive Lu Tian-He into an early grave.
The Green Dragon Force had meant a great deal to the military. The two military camps had collaborated to build a special troops unit not because they had wanted to groom a future batch of powerful soldiers but because the special troops were going to play an important role in an upcoming mission.
In fact, the other military camps had been increasing their efforts in training their own special troops as well.
Lu Tian-He had pinned his hopes on the Green Dragon Force and had been looking forward to the unit's performance. He had hoped that under Ye Fan's leadership, the Green Dragon Force would shock China with an astounding performance and boost the Yanjing military's failing reputation.
But Wu Yang had thwarted his plans.
"I can't just return to Yanjing like that. I have to have find a way to save the situation. I hope I'm not too late." At that thought, Lu Tian-He instructed his chauffeur to turn the car around. Instead of heading back to Yanjing, the jeep raced into the heart of Jiangdong.
Meanwhile, in a room somewhere in Yunzhou, Jiangdong, Li Er was reporting to Ye Fan the progress of the mansion's construction.
"Mr Chu, the skeleton of the mansion has been fully constructed. We'll have the fagade done within three months. But I'm afraid you can only move in at the end of the year."
Even though Li Er had hired hordes of workers to work on the mansion's construction, it remained a massive project that necessitated a year's work before it could be completed. They might be done with the skeletal structure, but there were still walls to be painted and interiors to be decorated. Those took time too.
Ye Fan frowned slightly. "Three months?"
Ye Fan could only set up the Invoke the Celestial Sky Formation after the exterior of the mansion was fully constructed.
Otherwise, subsequent construction work could damage the formation that he had put in place.
Beads of cold sweat appeared on Li Er's forehead.
"That's right, Mr Chu," said the man nervously. "That's the quickest we can go without compromising quality and safety. Any quicker and we risk compromising quality."
Ye Fan nodded.
"Alright, three months it is then. But I will not tolerate any delays. If the main construction is not completed by then, you'll have to answer for it."
"Yes, Mr Chu," said Li Er as he nodded fearfully.
Li Er couldn't help but feel a suffocating aura exuding from Ye Fan every time they were in the same room. The weight of that aura often left him breathless.
He had become used to the feeling of near suffocation.
But when Ye Fan got angry, Li Er would be seized by sudden terror. It was akin to staring into a deep abyss.
Serving an emperor was akin to serving a ferocious beast that might devour you without reason or cause. Ye Fan might not be an emperor, but he might as well be one.
Jin Bao and Yin Bao pushed the door open and entered the room suddenly.
"Didn't I tell the two of you to stand guard outside? Why have you interrupted our conversation?" asked Li Er with a hint of displeasure in his voice.
"Master Er, someone wishes to speak to Mr Chu," reported Jin Bao dutifully.
"Who is it?" asked Ye Fan coolly.
Jin Bao shook his head. "We don't know. He's not someone from Jiangdong. He's wearing a military uniform so he might be someone from the military." "Someone from the military?"
The mention of the military made Ye Fan frown.
Had Wu Yang changed his mind and decided to arrest him and the Green Dragon Force after all?
Ye Fan knew very well that Wu Yang wasn't a forgiving man.
He had been prepared for an all-out war with the Jiangdong military.
After all, Ye Fan had defied Wu Yang's orders in public and had killed Chen Lan, ar! instructor whom Wu Yang held in high regard. Wu Yang must have been livid. Ye Fan had known that Wu Yang wouldn't let him leave that easily.
That had been why he had been surprised when Wu Yang had reined in his anger and hadn't ordered his soldiers to attack him.
When Jin Bao had said that their visitor appeared to be from the military, Ye Fan's first thought had been that Wu Yang had sent someone after him and the Green Dragon Force.
If that were truly the case, Ye Fan wouldn't hold himself back either.
"Wu Yang, I hope for your sake that you wouldn't do something so foolish. I've massacred the Japanese military and I would happily do the same to the Jiangdong military!" murmured Ye Fan to himself as a murderous glint flashed across his eyes. With a casual wave of his hand, he said coolly. "Let him in."
Jin Bao and Yin Bao left immediately.
Within moments, a sprightly old man hurried into the room.
He seemed overwhelmed with emotion when he saw Ye Fan.
"Instructor Chu, I've finally found you! I went looking for you in Jingzhou, then in Jianghai. I'm so glad to have found you in Yunzhou."
Ye Fan frowned when he saw whom his guest was. "I wasn't expecting you. Did Wu Yang send you to arrest me?"
"Of course not! Instructor Chu's a powerful martial artist who none can rival. I wouldn't dare to disrespect you in any way," Lu Tian-He said hastily. Bitterness and helplessness colored his eyes as he continued speaking.
"I'm here to seek your forgiveness, Instructor Chu. I've heard about the humiliation that you and the Green Dragon Force have suffered in the Jiangdong military. It's all Wu Yang's fault. He's a fool who didn't consult any of us before he put the Green Dragon Force through such hardships and dismissed you. I had no idea what he had done until it was too late. Otherwise, I would have done all that I could to prevent you and the Green Dragon Force from having to suffer such abuse."
Ye Fan burst into a laughter that was cold and sharp with mockery.
"General Lu, it seems like you have nothing to do with this matter. You can't be held accountable for my dismissal or for the Green Dragon Force's suffering. Why are you here seeking forgiveness then? It seems completely unwarranted. Please leave. You don't have to ask me for anything. I have nothing to do with you or the military. Our paths will never cross again."
