A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)
Chapter 1515 Apologize Personally

Sometimes, you only needed to defeat one party in order to stop the rest from trying.

Ye Fan was going to embark on a long journey, so before leaving, he wanted to cement Xu Lei's position in Yanjing.

If he could trample over the Wei family this time, Yanjing would be peaceful for at least the next decade.

Before coming, Ye Fan had already started thinking about how he could help Xu Lei to keep a tight rein over Yanjing.

Yanjing was a very different place from Jiangdong.

Jiangdong was where Ye Fan was based, and he had been quietly operating within Jiangdong for ten years.

He had won the battle at Mount Tai, held the Feast of the Sea and the Sky, won the fight with Mochizuki Kawa at Dongchang Lake, trampled victoriously on the powerful Lu and Xur families, and struck fear and terror far and wide within the region.

The prestige of Ye Fan had seeped into the very pores of all the rich and powerful of Jiangdong over all these years.

Sometimes he didn't even need to show himself. The name 'Mr Chu' was enough to shake up Jiangdong.

So while it seemed like a mighty task for Qiu Mu-Cheng to govern Jiangdong, the number of obstacles she faced were actually very few and far between.

But what about Yanjing?

This region was way too unfamiliar to Ye Fan.

He had come here no more than five times, and his roots were too shallow here.

Even though he had the support and resources of the Xue and Xu families, and Xu Lei had been helping to manage this side of things, all of them knew that Yanjing only looked peaceful on the surface. There were many unseen undercurrents happening at the same time.

Even if Wei Luo did not appear today, another ambitious person would eventually come to challenge Xu Lei's position and authority.

So Ye Fan needed to defeat someone soundly in order to concretize his legacy in Yanjing.

This opponent had to be someone that was powerful enough to prove Ye Fan's might.

The Wei family of Zhonghai was definitely a suitable candidate.

But of course, Xu Lei had no idea that Ye Fan had all these considerations in mind.

Time continued to pass slowly. Ye Fan remained silent and just sat in his chair confidently.

Meanwhile, Wei Luo made several impatient phone calls to his men.

Very soon, he finished a phone call and smiled threateningly at Ye Fan. "Punk, let me share a piece of good news with you.

The head of the Xue family, Xue Ren-Yang, has agreed to work with the Wei family. Everything you relied on to rule Yanjing is now gone. Once my men return from the Xue family, prepare to die!" Wei Luo had clearly planned for today quite a while ago.

His first move was to team up with the Xu family to topple Xu Lei from her position, then send out his most trusted men to threaten and tempt those who were loyal to Ye Fan like Xue Ren-Yang. Without these subordinates, Ye Fan would be all alone and would no longer have any standing in Yanjing.

"Is that so? In that case, let's wait and see," chuckled Ye Fan. He didn't seem bothered that the Xue family had betrayed him.

Ye Fan's reaction infuriated Wei Luo.

"Punk, you're still acting cool when you're about to die? I'll see if you can still put a smile on when you're on the brink of death later!" Wei Luo was so angry that he gnashed his teeth and wished he could slay Ye Fan right there and then.

But the large majority of the martial artists he had brought along had been part of the team that went to visit the Xue family.

The Xu family had only one Xu Lei to deal with, and he didn't have to be afraid of one weak woman. On the contrary, he was a lot more wary of the Xue family, and so he sent his best there.

If the Xue family did not agree at the discussion table, then his plan was to use force to beat the Xue family into compliance.

But now, it seemed like everything was moving according to Wei Luo's plans.

The only thing that went wrong was Ye Fan's sudden appearance.

But thankfully, the situation was still within his control.

Once his men returned, he was sure that Ye Fan would not be a problem.

Even if his men failed, he still had one more backup plan.

He had planned this trip to Yanjing for a long time now.

Whether the Wei family of Zhonghai could become the most powerful family of China or not depended on whether his plans to conquer Yanjing succeeded or not.

If he successfully took over Yanjing, he would become the top contributor of the family.

Nobody in the family would be able to fight with him for the position of head of the family after that.

VROOM...

While Wei Luo was still in deep thought, the sound of cars driving in could be heard.

Wei Luo and the rest of the Xu family suddenly felt a surge of energy course through their bodies as they all sat up excitedly.

"Haha! My men are back! Punk, just wait to die!" Wei Luo sniggered before running to the door with Xu Mei-Feng to welcome his subordinates.

Several figures appeared within everyone's line of sight.

They were all in neat suits and looked fierce and ruthless.

Strong winds seemed to accompany their confident strides.

Anyone with sufficient sensitivity would discover that these people had a huge amount of internal energy flowing through their bodies.

"These men are all martial artists." Ye Yu-Yan immediately frowned when she saw the men outside.

She couldn't help but feel a little worried now.

Could the Wei family be a martial arts family that had merely hidden themselves well?

The number of martial artists in proportion to the total population of the country was very low.

Ordinary rich families like the Xu family didn't even have a single martial artist among their family members.

But the Wei family had been able to mobilize so many high level martial artists. Ye Yu-Yan couldn't help but be affected by this.

The Lv family had been able to cause so much trouble the last time and made Jiangdong tread on thin ice.

Thankfully, War God Castle did not punish Ye Fan for his deeds, otherwise Ye Yu-Yan didn't even dare to imagine what the consequences would have been.

To Ye Yu-Yan, no matter how powerful Ye Fan was, he couldn't possibly fight an entire nation.

If this Wei family turned out to be one of China's hidden martial arts families and ended up in a fight with Ye Fan, War God

Castle would probably be angered and feel that Ye Fan was acting with impunity just because he had gotten away with it once.

"Uncle Liu, Uncle Li, I'm so glad you're all finally here. I've waited so long for all of you! Hurry now and kill that hooligan for me!" hurried Wei Luo anxiously as he smiled at the men walking towards him. But to his surprise, the men didn't seem to have heard him at all. They walked straight past him and continued walking into the hall.

"Wait, Uncle Liu, where are all of you going? I'm right here! Also, where's Uncle Wang? Why don't I see him?" Wei Luo just thought that they hadn't noticed him and ran after them.

But no matter what he said, everyone ignored him.

Just when Wei Luo was feeling really puzzled, a cold laughter rang from outside the estate. "I suppose you must be Young Master Wei. I'm the head of the Xue family, Xue Ren-Yang. I accidentally killed one of your subordinates, and because I was feeling very guilty, I thought I should come to apologize personally. Tong Shan, fling that body over so that Young Master Wei can take it back."

Xue Ren-Yang waved his arm.

A muscular man beside Xue Ren-Yang swung his arm and flung a corpse towards Wei Luo.

When Wei Luo saw who the dead body was, his entire body trembled violently and his eyes were as wide as saucers.

"Uncle Wang?! This...I... You bastards! How dare you kill Uncle Wang?! Xue Ren-Yang, how DARE you! The Wei family was trying to be polite by offering you a partnership, but instead, you killed one of mine? I'm not going to let you off for this!"

Wei Luo was instantly incensed upon seeing Uncle Wang's corpse.

This Uncle Wang had been his bodyguard since he was a child and they shared a bond that had lasted for decades. He was one of Wei Luo's most trusted men.

He never thought that his Uncle Wang would perish at the hands of the Xue family.

"All of you deserve to die! The Xue family deserves to die! Uncle Liu, Uncle Li, slaughter this old fellow right now! I don't care about any partnership or agreement now! The person who killed Uncle Wang deserves to die! All of you do!" roared Wei Lu ferociously.
