A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)
Chapter 1427 Ye Fan's Rage

A chilly wind swept across the hall as a voice filled with cold fury filled the room.

Ye Jian and the others were startled by the unexpected voice.

Everyone turned towards its source. A slim figure appeared in their sight.

The man was young, slim and almost pretty.

An invisible force erupted from his person as soon as he appeared, sending everyone else in the room trembling uncontrollably.

Ye Jian, who had appeared fearless a moment ago, widened his eyes instantly. It was as if he was looking at a ghost.

His eyes seemed as if they were going to pop out of their sockets.

Fear and horror darkened his eyes and swelled inside him like a tsunami.

"Cou...cous..."

Before Ye Jian could finish what he was trying to say, the interviewers seated next to him had gotten to their feet.

They slammed their fists on the table and began yelling at the young man. "Who the hell are you? How dare you show such disrespect to Mr Ye? Guards, give this ruffian a good thrashing and throw him out of the building. Mufan Group isn't a place where you can do whatever you please!"

Their faces flushed as they thundered at the top of their voices. They were seriously pulling out all the stops to prove their loyalty to Ye Jian. After yelling at Ye Fan, they turned towards Ye Jian immediately and showered their attention on the latter. "Mr Ye, I hope that didn't scare you. Don't worry, we'll make sure he pays for his disrespect!"

The interviewers wouldn't stop cursing Ye Fan. Ye Jian, on the other hand, had slumped into a quivering heap.

In fact, Ye Jian had nearly had a heart attack when he had heard them calling Ye Fan a ruffian and had ordered the guards to beat him up and throw him out.

"What the hell! Are you trying to get me killed?" Ye Jian cursed as he kicked the interviewers hard and sent them sprawling on the ground. "You fools, how dare you disrespect my cousin? How dare you? I'm going to kill you! There's no Mufan Group without my cousin, and where would you be without Mufan Group? You should be kissing my cousin's feet. How dare you curse at him and tell him to get out! You're asking to be fired!"

Ye Jian wouldn't stop hitting the interviewers like a man gone mad.

Lin Yu-Han was stupefied by the sight before her.

She had no idea what had happened to the young master of the Ye family. He had seemed so smug and full of himself a moment ago. Why was he acting like a mouse that had just seen a cat? Honestly, Ye Fan's sudden appearance had sent Ye Jian into sheer panic.

He had always been a little fearful of Ye Fan.

After all, Ye Fan had beaten him up on multiple occasions. He had even broken his leg once.

When he had grown older, he had abused his father's power and influence and had constantly pitted himself against Ye Fan and tried to make life difficult for the latter.

Then, during that particular new year, Ye Fan had shown what he was truly capable of. Figures of influence from all across Jiangdong had come to show their respect to the man. Ye Jian's fear of his cousin ha amplified into full-blown terror. From that moment on, he had stopped all his antics and had never dared to cross Ye Fan again.

But here was Ye Fan, appearing suddenly, out of nowhere, and reprimanding him harshly. Ye Jian was naturally terrified. He was afraid that Ye Fan was going to break his leg again.

But no matter how terrified he was, he still approached his cousin and greeted him.

"Dear cousin of mine, why are you here?

Why didn't you tell me you were coming so that I could prepare myself and receive you in person? It's been a year since we last met. I really miss you. Really, I do. I dream of you every night when I sleep. My dreams are filled with the teachings that you've imparted." Ye Jian plastered a smile on his face as he tried to suck up to his cousin.

You could hear the tremor in his voice though.

"My teachings?" Ye Fan scoffed. "If you do take them to heart, you wouldn't be abusing your power and pushing people around!"

"I..." Caught red-handed, Ye Jian stammered, then hastily tried to formulate an excuse. "Brother Fan, this is a misunderstanding. It's all a terrible misunderstanding. I'm a righteous man and reasonable man who does what's right. I'm not a criminal who commits unscrupulous acts. Ask them if you don't believe me." "Silence!" thundered Ye Fan furiously. "Are you still going to deny that you haven't done anything wrong and refuse to repent? Do you really think that I won't dare to do anything to you because you're my cousin?"

"Please don't, Brother Fan! Alright, I was wrong! I was wrong and I'm sorry! Will that do? This isn't a big deal. I promise I won't do this again," pleaded Ye Jian, as if he had finally realized the severity of the situation.

Ye Fan didn't care at all.

He laughed coldly. "Again? Do you think you're going to get another chance to make a mistake? As the boss of Mufan Group, I'm stripping you of your office in the company. You're blacklisted. You'll never get another job in Mufan Group."

What?

Ye Jian trembled."

You can't do this. I'm your cousin. You can't be that heartless. Dear cousin..." pleaded Ye Jian desperately to no avail.

His cries seemed to fall on deaf ears. "Are you really going to do this to your own cousin and for an outsider? How could you be so cruel?"

"My cousin?" Ye Fan laughed derisively. "Did you remember that I was your cousin when you insulted and bullied me? When you and your family chased me out of your house, did you remember that I was your cousin? You got your position and got to make a name for yourself in Jiangdong because of my mother's kindness. You had your chance but you spat on it. You thought you could do as you pleased. You made a mess of the human resource department and gave my company a bad name. You should be grateful that I didn't break your legs and kill you. But instead, you act shamelessly and stick around, exploit the fact that we're related by blood and stubbornly refuse to admit wrongdoing. Do you have no shame at all?"

Ye Fan was livid.

His furious words reverberated in the room and rumbled like thunder.

Ye Jian's eyes filled with terror as he fell silent.

The other interviewers quaked silently.

They had joined Mufan Group six months ago. Prior to that, they had heard of the man who owned Mufan Group and how terrifying and intimidating he was.

They had just witnessed it with their own eyes.

The devil incarnate himself, Ye Jian, had submitted to him obediently. Before Ye Fan, he dared not make a single sound.

No one blamed Ye Fan for his fury.

A single anthill could cause the collapse of a massive dam.

Mufan Group might be a behemoth, but if everyone were to do as they pleased like Ye Jian had, it would hardly take a blink of an eye before the corporate behemoth collapsed. Besides, what Ye Jian had done today hadn't just been a simple favor for a friend.

He could have ruined a young woman.

Ye Fan wasn't an unprincipled man. It didn't matter if Ye Jian was his cousin or his brother. He wasn't going to forgive Ye Jian for what he had done!
