A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage) -
Chapter 1521 Wei Family Meeting
"Is that so?" Ye Fan laughed mirthlessly in the face of Wei Luo's threats.
"In that case, I'm going to just sit here and wait. I'm going to see what this supposedly powerful family of Zhonghai is going to use to kill me" His resolute words and majestic voice shook the entire hall like gold clattering to the floor.
Ye Fan then took a seat again.
He looked like he was really prepared to fight the Wei family of Zhonghai head on this time.
"Fine! That's what you said! If you run before my family arrives, then you're not a man!" Wei Luo purposely tried to agitate Ye Fan.
Initially, Wei Luo was afraid that Ye Fan might find a chance to escape before his family got here, but Ye Fan's words were exactly what he hoped to hear.
But Xu Lei couldn't help but worry, so she tried to advise Ye Fan softly, "Fan, don't fall for his tricks. He's trying to agitate you into staying here. If Wei Luo has already called his family for help, I'm sure the Wei family will be well prepared before coming. We're not prepared for this at all, so if we fight the Wei family head on like this, we might suffer losses instead. Fan, I think we should avoid trouble for now and take time to plan a counterattack. The Wei family is really no ordinary family. Even the Lu and Xur families didn't dare to provoke them in the past."
It was precisely because Xu Lei had an understanding of the Wei family, she became wary and worried.
She was really afraid that the whole situation would reach the point of no return.
She knew that Ye Fan would really fight the Wei family head on, and that would cause a huge uproar within China.
That was exactly the situation that Xu Lei didn't want to see.
She didn't want to see him fight and fall out with others anymore.
Wherever war broke out, there would be casualties, and one side had to concede defeat.
Even though Ye Fan always emerged victorious all these years over numerous battles, Xu Lei was really afraid that one day, he would be the defeated one.
So she tried her best to avoid getting into any conflict with any party that was very powerful.
But fate often had a way of playing with people's lives.
The thing that Xu Lei was most worried about happened despite her best efforts.
"Lei, you don't have to worry. This one tiny Wei family is nothing but an ant to me. From today onwards, I'm going to make sure the whole world knows that my younger sister is not someone to be trifled with!" His thunderous voice carried a great amount of authority that caused a strong wind to howl through the living room. His dominance, heroism and prestige were contained in these words, causing everyone's hearts to tremble.
"Ha! Anyone can boast and say what they like! We're just ants? You're going to tell the world? Fuck you! You'll soon see how childish and ridiculous these words are to the Wei family!" Wei Luo continued to clench his teeth and berate Ye Fan even though he had been forced to kneel. He just hated how Ye Fan seemed so pretentious.
One commendable thing about Wei Luo was probably this pride of his. At least he didn't embarrass his family in that aspect. But the rest of the people in the hall remained completely silent.
It seemed as though a solemn and oppressive air was weighing upon the Xu family estate.
It felt as though they were experiencing the strong winds that preceded an imminent storm.
They looked in shock and surprise at the young man who was still able to remain calmly seated.
They were really curious now. Was this young man from the countryside named Ye Fan really afraid of nothing at all?
Wei Luo already said that his family was on the way, but Ye Fan was still so calm and steady.
Was he really not going to plan his escape?
Was he truly confident of winning?
Or was he just putting up a brave front?
None of them knew the answer.
Meanwhile, miles away in Zhonghai, it was already evening time and the red sun was slowly setting in the west.
The river waters were dyed a dreamy red by the rays of the evening sun.
Huge ships sounded their horns loudly as they sailed down the river.
The roads of the city were full of cars.
Many pedestrians walked along the streets.
Zhonghai constantly reflected how busy and lively it was.
Right by the very valuable land next to the Huangpu River stood an enormous estate.
Whenever pedestrians walked past, they would glance towards the estate.
Some women in particular, fantasized about getting married into this family and becoming a rich man's wife.
This enormous estate belonged to the most powerful family in Zhonghai, the Wei family.
A humming sound could be heard on the estate's private H-pad.
A row of men were standing in front of a huge helicopter and reporting to the head of the Wei family.
"Mr Wei, don't worry, we will carry out your orders accordingly. We will head to Yanjing and bring your son back in one good piece. We will also return with the dead body of the man who offended him," said an old man with white hair.
The old man spoke in a low and calm voice, but he exuded an authority that could make one shudder.
"I will leave it to you then, Grandmaster Han." The head of the Wei family, Wei Chen, cupped his fists and spoke politely to the old man.
His tone of voice was filled with respect for the old man.
Powerful men were respected everywhere they went.
Even a rich and powerful family with a long history like the Wei family respected an extremely powerful man like this old man with white hair.
After a brief exchange, the white haired old man boarded the helicopter with several others and headed straight for Yanjing.
Shortly after he sent the men off, Wei Chen received a call.
After hanging up, Wei Chen gave instructions to his niece, Wei Lu, who was standing next to him. "Lu, tell all the highest ranking members of the family to gather in the meeting room in one hour!" "Even if they have to fly, they'd better get here on time. This is a matter of the family's future, so nobody is allowed to be absent," said Wei Chen in a stern voice.
"Uncle Chen, what's wrong? Did something happen?" asked Wei Lu worriedly.
Wei Chen didn't say much and just replied her simply, "Your father is back."
One hour later, the meeting room was filled with people.
The only people allowed in this room were members of the family who held high
positions within the family business.
"What do you think happened? Why were we called over in such a hurry? I was halfway through a meeting."
"I was on drip in the hospital and I had to get it removed halfway to get here in time.
I wonder what could possibly be so urgent. Did something go wrong in Yanjing?"
Wei Luo's plan to conquer Yanjing wasn't a secret within the family.
In fact, he had gotten the support and agreement of many in the family, so a lot of them knew about this.
Now that an urgent meeting had been called, many of them guessed it had something to do with this.
"We should stop speculating and just wait for the head of the family to tell us."
Everyone who had rushed over were discussing among themselves in the meeting room, and a number of them were quite unhappy about this sudden meeting. They had been called over in such a hurry, and hadn't been able to make any preparations for their absence at all.
"He's here, he's here!"
A flurry of footsteps came from outside the door.
Wei Chen soon walked into the room with wide strides and a solemn expression on his face.
There was one more person behind him.
He was dressed in a black coat and high boots, and looked a lot like Wei Chen.
To most people, this man in black was probably a stranger to them.
But to the highest authority of the Wei family, this well-travelled looking man in black was no small fry.
This was Wei Guang, Wei Chen's younger brother and second-in-charge of the Wei family!
