A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)
Chapter 1389 Lv Hua's Wooing Attempt

"Stop! Don't you dare touch her!" A low voice rang out suddenly.

And very soon after, a heroic figure flew past Qiu Mu-Cheng as quickly as a hawk.

BAM! BAM! BAM!

The heroic figure had knocked down the three men with just three successive kicks.

Those gangsters groaned as they rolled on the ground in pain.

"Who are you?"

"How dare you poke your nose into our affairs?"

"Get lost now if you know what is good for you! Otherwise, don't blame us for what we will do to you!"

After helping the rest up from where they fell, these gangsters glared at the handsome young man who had appeared from nowhere.

They even flashed the short knives which they now held in their hands.

The sharpened blades reflected off the blazing sun rays.

"Just with the few of you? The bunch of you even dare to threaten me?" The young man laughed softly and suddenly gave the ground a hard step with his foot.

A cold blast of wind immediately formed and sent sandstones and fallen leaves swirling up in the air.

It was in the midst of the sandstorm that the young man raised his arm with his palm out.

A small pebble was held in between his slim and long fingers.

With a burst of his internal energy force, the pebble was sent flying from his fingers!

SWOOSH!

His energy force created a buzzing sound which could be heard all around as it

whizzed across the sky like a bolt of lightning.

The pebble flew past the gangsters and with a thud, embedded itself into a tree trunk a distance away from them.

It was only after the pebble had landed exactly where it was targeted, that the gangsters started to feel stinging pain on their faces.

Soon, they realized that blood was streaming down from their cheeks.

"This..."

"This... This..."

"That pebble was swift like lightning!"

"What kind of technique is this?"

"Could this man be a martial artist?"

The skills displayed by the young man had intimidated these gangsters.

Petrified, every one of them stared un bl in ki ng ly at the young man in front of them.

The gangsters were adept at fighting but the fights with their opponents only involved the use of fists and legs.

They had never seen skills like these being used in their fights.

A single step of the foot could bring about a sandstorm and sent pebbles up in the air.

A pebble could even be struck into a tree with just the flick of a finger!

The leader of the bunch of gangsters finally realized that the young man was a high level martial artist and started pleading with him, "Ma... Master...please... please spare us. It's our fault for not recognizing who you are and offended you..."

"We promise never to do this again!" "Please have mercy on us and spare us!'

The few of them begged for their lives.

The young man sneered and said, "Not bad, you guys have some smarts. Remember what you said today. Don't blame me for not showing any mercy if it gets to my ears that you are still planning anything against Miss Qiu."

"Get lost!" the man gave a low thunderous roar.

The gangsters started to run for their lives as soon as they heard that they were free to go.

Once the gangsters had left, the young man turned and asked a pale looking Qiu Mu-Cheng, "Miss Qiu, are you alright?"

It was only then that Qiu Mu-Cheng finally got a good look at the man who had saved her.

It was Lv Hua, one of the guests from Yanjing who had visited her yesterday.

Lv Hua was wearing a well-ironed suit and his hair had been impeccably styled.

Together with his handsome look and gentlemanly manners towards Qiu Mu-Cheng, Lv Hua had drawn the attention of some young ladies who were walking by the roadside.

He even stretched out to take Qiu Mu-Cheng's hand in his, to see if her hand had been injured earlier.

"I'm alright, thank you, Mr Lv," Qiu Mu-Cheng thanked Lv Hua politely as she skillfully avoided his hand.

Li Er, who was following behind Qiu Mu-Cheng, arrived belatedly.

"Miss Qiu, what happened? Were you in an accident? Are you alright?" Li Er asked anxiously when he saw the extent of damage to Qiu Mu-Cheng's car.

Qiu Mu-Cheng's bodyguards soon arrived on the scene as well.

Qiu Mu-Cheng had always disliked being on the same ride with others, especially with members of the opposite sex. And so, her bodyguards had always followed her around in a separate car.

Because of this, it took them a while to react and reach her when the incident happened.

"I'm alright. There were a few gangsters who tried to abduct me," Qiu Mu-Cheng explained without any fuss.

But Li Er was angered the moment he heard what had happened.

"What? Someone tried to abduct you? Who on earth has the guts to abduct Mr Chu's wife in Yunzhou? Miss Qiu, don't worry, leave this to me. I will get to the bottom of this and have these people arrested!" Li Er said angrily.

He started to make arrangement to have this incident investigated.

"Forget it, they were just a few small-time gangsters. They had probably formed the idea of abducting Miss Qiu when they saw her beauty. I had already taught them a lesson, so there's no need to make a mountain out of a molehill. People in high positions should be more magnanimous," Lv Hua interrupted and tried to persuade Li Er to drop the investigation.

"No way! How can I let them off just like that? They are not showing me any respect if they had dared to do such a thing in my territory," Li Er refused to let the matter rest.

When he saw how Li Er had reacted, Lv Hua decided not to persuade him any further.

While Li Er stayed behind to handle this incident, Qiu Mu-Cheng continued to make her way to the office as planned.

Other than being startled, she was not injured in the incident earlier.

But just as Qiu Mu-Cheng was about to leave, Lv Hua walked up to her and asked with a smile, "Miss Qiu, aren't you going to treat me to a meal since I had saved you earlier?" "Oh..." Qiu Mu-Cheng said awkwardly, "Mr Lv, I still have some matters to attend to.

I'm afraid I will have to take a rain check for the meal."

"Oh? It's ok, I can wait. I am available whenever you are. I have some things that I would like to discuss with you alone," Lv Hua said with a polite smile. His gentlemanly behavior made him seem like a completely different person from the one who went on the same mission as Ye Fan a few months ago.

"You are being too polite, Mr Lv. You did save me earlier, so the meal should be on me. It's just that I really do not have the time over the next few days," said Qiu Mu-Cheng. After exchanging a few pleasantries, she finally left the scene and headed to her office.

Qiu Mu-Cheng spent the rest of the day working like any other day. She gave no sign that things were any different.

Mufan Group and Jiangdong remained calm and peaceful.

Time passed by quickly and soon, Qiu Mu-Cheng was preparing to return to the villa

after a day's work.

She thought about a lot of things, and decided that she should have a meal with Lv Hua.

There were some details on Ye Fan's matter that she needed to understand from Lv Hua.

What Qiu Mu-Cheng did not expect was to see Lv Hua waiting at the entrance of the office the moment she walked out of the company's entrance.

"Miss Qiu, do you have time now? Would you like to have dinner with me?" a smiling Lv Hua asked.
