A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)
Chapter 1227 Desperate Struggle

But since Wu Yang had made it to this position, it meant that he wasn't someone who admitted defeat easily either.

"Ye Fan, don't think that you've won! Nobody knows who will have the last laugh yet. You've killed so many from the Jiangdong camp, so I will definitely avenge my men!" Wu Yang clenched his fists as the sun set behind him, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes.

Everything that happened in Jiangbei had thoroughly embarrassed Wu Yang.

On top of that, Ye Fan had also committed so many offenses in Jiangdong before that, so Wu Yang was determined to deal with Ye Fan.

Yang was worried when he heard what Wu Yang said. "Commander Wu, are you going to use the army to deal with him? Please think twice! Using the army is against the rules!"

The army was meant to fight external forces, so if Wu Yang was going to get the troops to fight Ye Fan, that would be against the law. If anyone found out and the higher-ups investigated this matter, Wu Yang could forget about even staying in the army.

Wu Yang shook his head. "Don't worry, it's just one Ye Fan. I'm not going to throw my future away because of him."

"Then what do you intend to do?" asked Yang puzzledly.

Wu Yang laughed mirthlessly. "It's very simple. There's plenty of evidence to prove that Ye Fan has committed murder, regardless of whether it's the death of Chen Lan or the havoc he wreaked in Jiangbei. All of this deserves death! I just have to report all these crimes to the top brass, and they will send someone to arrest Ye Fan. I'm sure the country wouldn't let off this young punk!" Wu Yang's gaze was deep and his hands were clenched tightly.

It wasn't as if using the Jiangdong army to fight Ye Fan hadn't crossed Wu Yang's mind.

But Wu Wang knew that if even someone as powerful as Chen Lan could die at Ye Fan's hands, he would have to use a huge number of troops in order to deal with Ye Fan. The Jiangdong troops wouldn't be sufficient.

But even though Jiangdong couldn't take Ye Fan down, it didn't mean that the country was completely helpless against Ye Fan.

Ye Fan had committed such grave crimes. He was sure that the country would definitely do something about Ye Fan in order to uphold the law and its authority over its citizens.

That night itself, Wu Yang listed ten of Ye Fan's worst crimes and requested that the country send its best fighter to arrest Ye Fan.

In order to pressurize the higher-ups, he even got the other military camps involved in the last battle to sign his petition as well and request that the government punish Ye Fan. One fine day, the sun shone brightly in the sky.

Wu Yang was in an excellent mood, and it was hard to say if that was because of the sunny weather.

He called for a great feast to be prepared the minute he woke up.

"Commander, what's happened? Why are you happy?" asked Yang in confusion.

Wu Yang had been in low spirits ever since Ye Fan and the Green Dragon Force made so much trouble in Jiangbei.

But today, his mood had changed 180 degrees. Yang was very curious about this change.

"Hoho, Yang, I haven't had the chance to tell you yet. Do you remember how I got the other military camps to co-sign a petition of mine to request that Ye Fan be punished for his crimes? I got news from the higher-ups yesterday. They said that they're sending someone personally to Jiangdong to tell me the decision from the

top brass."

"The top brass is sending someone personally all the way here! That shows how much importance they've placed on this matter! In other words, we have achieved our aim. The country is going to deal with Ye Fan directly," said Wu Yang with a malicious smile on his face. He didn't expect things to go so smoothly.

He thought that people like Lu Tian-He and Fang Shao-Hong would try their best to defend Ye Fan.

If they tried to interfere, then it wouldn't be so easy to use the country to arrest Ye Fan.

But it was clear that Wu Yang had been worried for nothing.

He had just sent in this request two days ago, and he got a response yesterday.

And today, someone from the investigation team was actually coming.

At this rate, Ye Fan and the Green Dragon

Force was going to be jailed by the next day.

"Alright, enough of talking. If my calculations are right, they're going to arrive by noontime. Hire a few famous chefs from the city and get them to whip up a welcome feast for the investigation team by lunch time!" Wu Yang instructed his men with the wave of his hands.

At around 11 AM, a few cars with Yanjing license plates appeared in the Jiangdong military camp as expected.

Wu Yang quickly brought his men over to welcome the team from Yanjing.

The sun was high in the sky and a strong wind blew.

Wu Yang's face was full of smiles as he stood at the gate with a respectful look in his eyes.

The car doors opened and several men in military uniforms emerged.

Both sides saluted each other.

"Gentlemen, I've already prepared a feast inside, please come with me," Wu Yang showed them in with great excitement.

But the men remained expressionless even though Wu Yang had welcomed them so warmly.

The one who was leading the men looked at Wu Yang and said coldly, "Are you Wu Yang? The one in charge of this camp?"

Wu Yang was taken a back for a moment. But he didn't think much of these questions and just nodded. "That's right. I'm Wu Yang."

After Wu Yang nodded, the leader took out his document bag and pulled out a file that was stamped with the large letters 'CLASSIFIED'. He started reading the document to Wu Yang, "During Jiangdong Commander Wu Yang's time as commander of the camp, he was unable to make good judgment of his men's character, believed the lies of a wicked man and refused to listen to good advice. He also allowed his subordinates to discriminate against capable soldiers, abused the Green Dragon Force and forced their general off the camp."

"He is a man with no talent, no capability and no ethics! This resulted in very severe consequences which influenced the rest of the military very negatively. After a unanimous agreement among the highest officials of the army, the army has decided to strip Wu Yang of all his military duties. He is to return home and await investigation while reflecting on his own actions!"

"From today onwards, the commander in charge of the Jiangdong military camp shall be Lu Tian-He. His deputy commander shall be Fang Shao-Hong."

It seemed like lightning had just struck Wu Yang on the head. He couldn't move an inch.

His eyes were wide and they nearly popped out of their sockets.

He trembled violently all over.

'This...what?! Why?! Why is it about me?

How...how did things turn out this way? Ye Fan is the one who killed all those people! He's the one who committed all those crimes! Why aren't you arresting him? Why are you stripping me of my title?! Why?! I don't understand! I refuse to accept this!"

Wu Yang almost went insane.

He never thought that the day he was looking forward to so much would turn out like this.

He had hoped to use the power of the country to punish Ye Fan. But he ended up punishing himself instead!

"How did things turn out like that?! Why?! I refuse to accept this! I refuse!!" roared Wu Yang hysterically as his eyes reddened.

He simply couldn't understand why the country would defend a young hooligan and mass murderer, but sacrifice him instead.

While Wu Yang was on the verge of a mental breakdown, an older man was pushed in on a wheelchair.

The man sitting in the wheelchair was Lu Tian-He, while the one pushing him was Fang Shao-Hong.

After these two men appeared, a faint chuckle rang out. "Commander Wu Yang, are you still unable to see the bigger picture? To the country, you are nowhere what Mr Chu is worth. One is an ant, while the other is a dragon. Which one do you think the country would choose?"
