A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage) -
Chapter 1234 Look After Her
Ye Fan continued to wait for news from Ye Qing-Tian.
But two days later, Lu Tian-He suddenly called him to ask after him. "Mr Chu, thank you for saving me that day in Jiangbei. If I wasn't having trouble walking, I would definitely have dropped by your place to thank you in person," came Lu Tian-He's respectful and reverent voice.
After that battle in Jiangbei, Ye Fan's position in Lu Tian-He's heart had gone up tremendously.
After all, Ye Fan had turned the tides singlehandedly at Jiangbei, thrashing the three chief military instructors and essentially stepped all over China's military.
Something like this really continued to make Lu Tian-He shiver in excitement by just thinking about it.
After witnessing it for himself, the shock that Lu Tian-He had felt certainly increased enormously.
Lu Tian-He treated Ye Fan like his idol now.
Back when he first saw Ye Fan in Jingzhou, this young man was so ordinary that he hadn't even bothered himself much with him.
Who would have thought that the boy who had been outcast and despised by his own family would grow to become someone so formidable today?
He had risen above the nation's military and had been accorded so much respect by the country.
They even made Lu Tian-He the commander in charge of the Jiangdong military camp so as to get into Ye Fan's good books.
One could say that both Lu Tian-He's life as well as the power he had now were thanks to Ye Fan. So Lu Tian-He truly admired this young man.
"There's no need to be so polite about it. You were injured because you were trying to protect the Green Dragons. I should be the one thanking you on behalf of the Green Dragons," said Ye Fan nonchalantly. Ye Fan always spoke so calmly and unaffectedly, even though he was speaking to a general.
"Oh no no, Mr Chu, don't say that. I trusted you, and that's why I let the Green Dragon Force join the competition with me. If anything happened to them, then I wouldn't be able to face you even if I died," said Lu Tian-He as sweat trickled down his forehead.
Ye Fan didn't continue this display of formalities and just asked about his injuries.
When Ye Fan rescued Lu Tian-He that day, Lu Tian-He was very severely injured and was left with his last breath.
Ye Yu-Yan thought that Lu Tian-He wouldn't make it.
But after Ye Fan sent over some 'super medicine', Lu Tian-He managed to survive this ordeal.
Of course, there was nothing magical about this 'super medicine'. It was just a medicinal bath made from the recipes that he got from his great grandmother so that Lu Tian-He could recuperate by soaking in it every day.
"Mr Chu, thank you for your concern. Thanks to the herbs you sent over, my condition has improved by a lot. Besides still being unable to walk, all my other injuries have healed up."
After a few exchanges, Lu Tian-He finally reached his real motive for calling. "By the way, Mr Chu, I believe General Ye has already talked to you about the trip to South America? The original plan was for all the chief military instructors to go together, but since that incident happened, we have to trouble you to go instead."
"Also, I've received news that three others will go along with you, and one of them includes my daughter. This daughter of mine is quite gifted in martial arts, but she can be a little rebellious at times. If she does anything to offend you, please go ahead and discipline her, no need to worry about me. And if all goes well, they will arrive by afternoon," said Lu Tian-He respectfully to Ye Fan.
Ye Fan nodded and replied, "So after going on and on for so long, you're calling to ask me to take care of your daughter on this trip, right? Don't worry, I will look after her as far as I am able to." "Thank you so much, Mr Chu." Lu Tian-He hung up after thanking Ye Fan.
Just as Lu Tian-He had mentioned earlier, a group of three appeared at Jianghai International Airport that very afternoon.
One of them was dressed in a long gray robe and his hair was graying, but his steps were strong and confident, and there was an invisible authoritativeness in his eyes. He was clearly someone who had been in a high position for a long time.
The other two comprised of one man and one woman, and they were younger.
They both looked around 30 years old or so.
But the two of them possessed looks that were certainly above average.
The man was in a suit, and his well-defined brows and eyes made him look strong.
The woman was wearing a red leather jacket and had a slim but curvaceous figure. The fitting dress she wore accentuated her curves even further.
She drew many stares along the way.
It was rare to see a woman who had both the looks and the figure.
The two younger ones walked on both sides of the older man, and their gestures and speech were exceptionally polite.
"Elder Kong, we've reached Jiangdong. But my father said we have to meet with Mr Chu in Yunzhou first before heading to South America, so the journey will take another few hours," said the woman politely to the older man while looking at her phone.
"What? We're still not there yet?" The old man was clearly displeased when he realized they still hadn't reached their destination yet, and he started to frown.
Logically speaking, it was more direct to take an international flight out of Yanjing to head for South America.
But War God Castle insisted that they make an extra trip to Jiangdong and pick up someone called 'Mr Chu'. This made the old man very upset indeed.
He was the leader of this team after all, but he had to go and pick up one of his team mates? Wasn't that an insult to his position?
"Yan-Xi, who is this Mr Chu? Why do we have to go personally to his house to pick him up? It's fine if they sent us younger ones, but Elder Kong is a respectable senior in the martial arts world, and also the leader of this team. Mr Chu should be the one coming out to see Elder Kong. Why did the higher-ups tell us to go all the way to Yunzhou to see him instead? This is ridiculous," grumbled the handsome young man rather unhappily.
Lu Yan-Xi shook her head and replied, "I'm not sure why either. But I heard from my father that he's someone who's pretty formidable. Apparently the chief military instructors of Jiangbei, Xinan and Xibei were defeated at his hands during the National Special Troops Contest that was held some days back."
"Is that so?" Lv Hua snorted. "No wonder he's behaving like such a big shot. So he's become famous recently. But even so, he's not worth Elder Kong going all the way to pick him. Why don't we wait here instead? Tell him to come to Jianghai to look for us. We'll save some time this way. We have to take a flight out from Jianghai later anyway."
