A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)
Chapter 1384 A Breathtaking Beauty

But nobody knew that Lv Hua was thinking about as he smiled coldly.

Meanwhile, Qiu Mu-Cheng had heard that War God Castle was sending someone over to visit her, so she was already waiting inside the bungalow.

Besides Qiu Mu-Cheng, Li Er, Lei San and Wang Jie-Xi were also waiting with her.

Since Chen Ao had chosen to stand on the wrong side the last time Jiangdong fell into peril, Ye Fan had punished him by chasing him out of Jiangdong for good. Everything he used to own was now under Wang Jie-Xi's care.

The three with Qiu Mu-Cheng were all Ye Fan's most loyal and long serving regents, and were powerful men in Jiangdong who could stand the test of time.

While Ye Fan wasn't around, these three men helped Qiu Mu-Cheng to manage all of Jiangdong.

Without their help, there was no way Qiu Mu-Cheng could handle such a huge

territory all by herself.

And thanks to their help, Jiangdong had become virtually immovable under Qiu Mu-Cheng's care.

Every powerful family, corporation and business looked up to Mufan Group as their leader.

On top of that, Li Er, Lei San and Wang Jie-Xi had invited the most powerful businessmen of each of the 18 cities in Jiangdong to be part of a chamber of commerce so as to better control the big businesses within the province. Qiu Mu-Cheng was the chairman of this chamber of commerce.

One could say that Mufan Group now had control over all 18 cities, and had built a province-wide business empire.

All of Jiangdong had practically become Ye Fan's backyard.

But of course, all these things had gone so smoothly and all these rich and powerful businessmen had been willing to submit to

Mufan Group only because of Ye Fan.

They respected Qiu Mu-Cheng because she was Ye Fan's wife.

They looked up to Mufan Group because it was started by Ye Fan. Ye Fan's name was like the name of the emperor in Jiangdong.

He was highly esteemed and revered wherever he went.

After the battle at Mount Tai, the fight at Dongchang Lake, and the kneeling of the soldiers at Haiyuan Restaurant, the young man who stepped his way to power on the blood and bones of those who tried to kil him had truly convinced all the leaders in Jiangdong to follow him.

No matter what Qiu Mu-Cheng did, as long as it was in Ye Fan's name, nobody would stop her.

But during this time, Qiu Mu-Cheng had heard some things about Ye Fan, and it made her very uneasy.

In order to find out the veracity of the news she heard, Qiu Mu-Cheng got someone to contact Ye Yu-Yan's teacher, Lu Tian-He.

Lu Tian-He didn't dare to make any judgment on the information himself, so he used his connections to get someone to make some queries at War God Castle, and to let the members of War God Castle know that Ye Fan's family was worried about him.

And that was how War God Castle eventually decided to send a condolences team here.

But when Qiu Mu-Cheng realized that the answer to her worries was really on the way to her home, she started feeling scared.

She sat in the midst of the bungalow without saying a word. Her face was paler than usual, and there was fear and panic in her eyes.

So many mixed emotions were going through her heart right now. She kept downing cup after cup of tea.

"Miss Qiu, don't worry. Mr Chu is a very lucky man, so I'm sure he's fine. All those rumors were probably exaggerated or something. Besides, Yanjing is sending some folks here, right? I'm sure they're bringing you good news," Li Er and the rest tried to comfort Qiu Mu-Cheng with big smiles on their faces when they noticed her restlessness.

Qiu Mu-Cheng nodded.

But the level of worry and fear in her heart didn't decrease at all.

She had not been able to contact Ye Fan for months now. This was even longer than the time he met with that assassination attempt in Japan.

It was hard for Qiu Mu-Cheng not to worry.

She could only pray that Yanjing was bringing her good news.

She didn't know much about what Ye Fan was doing this time round, but she knew that Ye Fan had gone on this trip because he had received a mission from Yanjing.

He was working for the country or something.

After going for so long without any news, Qiu Mu-Cheng could only hope that War God Castle had news about Ye Fan.

Just then, the sound of a car arriving at the foot of Mount Yunding could be heard.

The low rumble of the engine sounded like the roar of a wild animal as it echoed in the mountain.

"Miss Qiu, looks like the people we've been waiting for are here. Let's go out and receive them! General Lu says that the people visiting us today aren't just some small fry," said Li Er as he got up. All of them smiled and walked out with Qiu Mu-Cheng to receive their guests.

Just as they reached the door of the bungalow, they saw two men in smart suits walking towards them.

"Hello there! Are both of you here from Yanjing to visit Mr Chu's family?" asked Li Er politely with a bright smile on his face.

"What Mr Chu? I don't know any Mr Chu," replied Lv Hua coldly with a frown.

He looked around him and asked very rudely, "Isn't this Ye Fan's house?"

"Oh yes, yes, it is," Li Er nodded.

"In that case, where's Ye Fan's family? Why aren't they here to receive us? You mean we have to go in ourselves to look for them?" asked Lv Hua in an arrogant and nasty voice.

"Well, that..." Li Er didn't know how to respond to that.

Qiu Mu-Cheng walked over and said politely, "I am Ye Fan's wife, Qiu Mu-Cheng. Are both of you from Yanjing?"

Qiu Mu-Cheng wanted to confirm their identities first, but Lv Hua didn't reply her immediately. Instead, he went into a daze when he saw Qiu Mu-Cheng.

He looked blown away by her beauty.

"Gosh, that Ye Fan looked so ordinary, but his wife is actually this gorgeous? Even the prettiest woman in my family is nothing compared to her," thought Lv Hua in shock to himself. Qiu Mu-Cheng was extraordinarily beautiful to him.

At the same time, he also felt jealous and envious of Ye Fan.

"My goodness, the wife of a supreme grandmaster is truly a breathtaking beauty. As the saying goes, heroes are always accompanied by beauties!" Lin Si-Cong immediately complimented her.

He smiled and introduced himself to Qiu Mu-Cheng, "Miss Qiu, we have received orders to come to Jiangdong to visit grandmaster Ye Fan's family. We've brought along some gifts, we hope that you will accep them." Lin Si-Cong took out some presents from inside the car and passed them to Qiu Mu-Cheng.
