A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)
Chapter 1446 He's Apparently Dead

Qiushui Logistics ended up going bankrupt, and the Qiu family went into decline, so Chu Wen-Fei's parents were against his relationship with Qiu Mu-Ying and wanted him to cut ties with her. Chu Wen-Fei then met Tian Xiu-Xiu, and they eventually decided to get married.

But as fate would have it, their wedding date clashed with Ye Fan and Qiu Mu-Cheng's.

Also, he had stupidly insisted on taking Tian Xiu-Xiu to Ye Fan and Qiu Mu-Cheng's wedding location.

In the end, the joyous occasion ended in tragedy.

There was no way Chu Wen-Fei's wedding was unable to go on after such a fiasco.

Chu Wen-Fei and Tian Xiu-Xiu eventually broke up and stopped talking to each other.

Chu Wen-Fei was almost incapable of recovering from these repeated setbacks.

Those were the darkest days of his life.

As the saying went, phoenixes rose from ashes.

After a brief period of self-doubt, Chu Wen-Fei decided to leave Jiangdong.

Chu Wen-Fei finally realized that with Ye Fan around, he would never be safe.

That man was a nightmare to him. God must have sent Ye Fan to punish him.

A few days later, Chu Wen-Fei packed his bags and left Yunzhou without hesitation and threw his sad memories behind him.

He wanted to go far away from Ye Fan and make a new start.

After Chu Wen-Fei left Jiangdong, he quickly established himself in Lin'an.

In just a year, he became the deputy CEO of a local group.

Although Chu Wen-Fei's father helped to use his connections, it was still mostly

thanks to his own abilities.

Since he had come from a rich family, he received the best education as a child.

Even though Chu Wen-Fei was often pretentious, he was still genuinely capable in certain aspects.

Chu Wen-Fei finally recovered his confidence now that his career was rising.

Also, his primal instincts started to awaken.

This time, he had his eyes on He Yu-Rou.

The young woman before him completely surpassed Tian Xiu-Xiu in the looks department and had an extraordinary family background.

When Chu Wen-Fei was in university, he used to fancy He Yu-Rou.

If he could manage to win He Yu-Rou's heart, it would help make up for his regret.

Chu Wen-Fei planned this trip in Lin'an

precisely for that reason.

"Uh huh. Since all those things are in the past, why bring them up? Everyone has a past. In any case, men with experience are more charismatic. These days, women all like men with a story." Yang Zi-Jiang held Chu Wen-Fei by the shoulder as he laughed.

In a few words, he made Chu Wen-Fei's failed relationships sound like an edge.

Of course, Yang Zi-Jiang had mainly said it for He Yu-Rou to hear.

He naturally knew what his buddy was after.

His main job was to help matchmake Chu Wen-Fei and He Yu-Rou and make his buddy's dream come true.

"Let's go sightseeing. Wen-Fei, have you thought about where to take us? Since we had a hard time convincing Yu-Rou to come, you have to be extra attentive to her," said Yang Zi-Jiang as he chuckled. "That goes without saying," replied Chu Wen-Fei. "Let's go. I'll take you to West Lake and see Leifeng Pagoda. I already bought the tickets a couple of days ago and have been waiting for you to come." Chu Wen-Fei led them to West Lake as they bantered.

Since he had left in Lin'an for over a year and was familiar with most of the tourist locations, it was only right that he played host.

Before long, Chu Wen-Fei led them up the tour boats and took a ride on West Lake to enjoy the scenery.

During this time, Chu Wen-Fei took the initiative and kept talking to He Yu-Rou. He would introduce the sights, recite some poetry about the West Lake or share a funny story.

Yang Zi-Jiang and Zhang Xin-Yu didn't get in their way and even deliberately went to the other end of the boat to give them more space.

He Yu-Rou suddenly asked Chu Wen-Fei, "Wen-Fei, I recall you know Mr Chu. Have you heard from him recently?"

"Mr Chu? Are you talking about Ye Fan?"

Chu Wen-Fei's heart skipped a beat.

He hated hearing this name.

He left Jiangdong to escape this man.

He didn't expect to hear Ye Fan's name in Lin'an.

"I'm no longer in contact with him, so I don't know how he's doing, but my dad told me he's dead," said Chu Wen-Fei coldly.

Although Chu Wen-Fei had decided to let go of the past, the moment he heard Ye Fan's name, he was incapable of staying calm. After all, Ye Fan had hurt him too deeply.

How could Chu Wen-Fei let go of someone who had hurt him through and through so easily?

"Dead? Are you for real?" asked He Yu-Rou in surprise as she stood up as her face instantly paled.

"Do you know him?" Chu Wen-Fei was surprised by He Yu-Rou's reaction.

After asking her casually, he continued, "Dad only heard about it, so who knows whether it is true? But I'm guessing it's probably true. People like him who survive using brute strength lead dangerous lives. Regardless of the glory they might receive, their lives are constantly in a precarious position, so it's normal for them to suddenly die."

The more Chu Wen-Fei spoke, the more worried He Yu-Rou looked and the colder she felt in her heart.

Just as He Yu-Rou was about to ask more, someone suddenly stopped their boat.

"The waters up ahead are closed to the public. Please leave." A few employees steered a boat towards them and stopped them.

"What? Are they closed to the public? But why? Isn't West Lake public property? Why can't we go?"

Zhang Xin-Yu was instantly displeased.

Chu Wen-Fei frowned. When he saw a few boats up ahead enter the waters, he became even more displeased.

"If these waters are closed to the public, why could they enter? My friend, do you think we are pushovers because we are young?" asked Chu Wen-Fei coldly. "That's different. They have already applied for permission to enter and showed us the paperwork, but you clearly don't have a permit," explained an employee.

"I don't care. Since you've allowed them entry, then you have to let us through as well. Or else, I will lodge a complaint," threatened Zhang Xin-Yu sternly. "Please go ahead. In any case, those were the orders I received," said an employee calmly.
