A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)
Chapter 1447 Highly Controversial Character

"Forget it, Xin-Yu. Let's not make things difficult for them. We don't really have to go there since West Lake is huge and has great scenery in all directions."

Since He Yu-Rou grew up in a family of politicians, she knew how hard it could be for low level employees.

These lower-level employees were always caught in between their duties and the public's demands.

"Forget it? I won't let them off for their lousy attitude. Don't worry. I know someone, so once I make the call, they won't stop us from entering," said Chu Wen-Fei somewhat angrily as he stood up.

"That's brilliant!"

Zhang Xin-Yu and Yang Zi-Jiang instantly cheered.

Chu Wen-Fei took his phone and made a call.

Since Chu Wen-Fei was in the real estate trade, he worked with the government all the time, so it was easy for him to pull some connections.

A few minutes later, Chu Wen-Fei hung up the phone disappointedly.

"Wen-Fei, how did it go?" asked Zhang Xin-Yu curiously.

Chu Wen-Fei shook his head. "It's no use. Commissioner Wang said someone was holding a celebration here today, so big shots throughout the country will be here."

"Really? It seems we really won't be able to enter." Zhang Xin-Yu shook her head disappointedly.

In the end, the four of them turned to leave.

However, Zhang Xin-Yu kept thinking about it on the way back.

"What kind of party do you think is happening here? They sealed off half the lake, and even a Commissioner doesn't have the right to permit entry. Is it the G20 or something? Where leaders from all countries gather to discuss important matters?"

The more Zhang Xin-Yu went on, the more incredible she made it sound. He Yu-Rou and the others couldn't help laughing.

"Xin-Yu, there you go with your nonsense. If it were the G20,1 think the entire lake and its vicinity would get cordoned off and not just the center of the lake," said He Yu-Rou as she laughed.

A lot of boats steered towards the sealed-off section of the lake as Chu Wen-Fei left.

"Yu-Rou, Wen-Fei, don't you think the people on the boat look strange? Why are most of them wearing long robes? If I didn't know better, I would have thought they were holding some martial arts conference, and all the heroes were gathering here today," said Zhang Xin-Yu as she laughed softly.

Chu Wen-Fei and the others also noticed that the guests were dressed unusually when Zhang Xin-Yu brought it up.

"No, now I really want to see what's going on." Zhang Xin-Yu couldn't suppress her curiosity.

She decided to steer the boat towards the venue.

"Hi, there! Excuse me!" shouted Zhang Xin-Yu from behind.

Before long, the people on a boat in front of them noticed their presence.

"Our boat is out of gas. Mind if we take your boat? We don't mind paying," shouted Zhang Xin-Yu as she waved her hand.

Chu Wen-Fei didn't think Zhang Xin-Yu's ploy would work. Before long, a boat stopped and put down a ladder to let them board.

"Wow. I can't believe it worked."

Chu Wen-Fei and the others were surprised.

Zhang Xin-Yu rubbed her nose smugly before getting onto the boat with them.

"You kids must have run here on your own against your master's orders, right? These days, youngsters are so impatient. They come running whenever something exciting happens. If you spent your time practicing martial arts and succeed in the future, you wouldn't need to come to places like this as a guest to congratulate someone else. Instead, you can be the star of the show just like Old Master Lv and sit back while everyone bows to you. Oh yes. I forgot to ask which sect you are from," a kind-looking old man smiled as he spoke to them.

However, Zhang Xin-Yu was at a loss about what he said.

What martial arts?

What sect?

Had they transmigrated to ancient times where there were swordsmen aplenty?

He Yu-Rou cleverly recalled a man's name while Zhang Xin-Yu and the others hesitated. She replied quickly, "We don't belong to a sect, but Mr Chu from

Jiangdong gave us a few pointers before, so we are his disciples to a certain degree."

"Mr Chu from Jiangdong?" The man on the boat was stunned. One of them said in surprise, "Are you talking about Ye Fan?"

There were barely any famous people in Jiangdong's martial arts circles.

Ye Fan was the only one who was famous throughout China.

Hence, they naturally recalled Ye Fan when she mentioned Mr Chu from Jiangdong.

"I can't believe you are his disciples. Your master was a real prodigy. Sadly, he died young. My deepest condolences." Someone on the boat sadly sighed as he shook his head.

"Humph. What prodigy? He is just an arrogant kid who had a stroke of luck. I heard that he was cocky and disrespectful to even a pillar of the nation like the King of Fighters. How can the kid disrespect War God Castle? It's better for people like him to die. Otherwise, his pride will land us in trouble one day," someone in the crowd spoke in contempt.

Ye Fan was a highly controversial character in the Chinese martial arts circle.

Everyone in the world was surprised by his talent but hated his arrogance.

To them, a younger one ought to behave like one.

Regardless of how powerful a youngster was, they ought to show respect to their elders.

He Yu-Rou looked even more disappointed when she heard that Ye Fan was dead.

Was that brilliant young man from Dongchang Lake really dead?

He Yu-Rou rarely paid any attention to a man. In her university days, a lot of the girls around her were fans of celebrities, but He Yu-Rou was disinterested in girly-looking men. However, Ye Fan was an exception.

He Yu-Rou couldn't help admiring Ye Fan when he defeated martial artists from Japan at Dongchang Lake.

All year round, she had been quietly keeping tabs on any news of him in the hope that they would cross paths again.

She did not expect the next thing she heard about him to be about his death.

For that moment, He Yu-Rou felt indescribably sad.

"Yu-Rou, look at that! Look at how grand the setup is!"

Just as He Yu-Rou slumped into disappointment, Zhang Xin-Yu suddenly started shouting excitedly.

He Yu-Rou raised her head and saw a posh and exquisite open-air venue set up on the island.

There were flowers as far as the eye could see.

The fiery red carpet looked like flames covering the entire island.
