A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)
Chapter 1523 Why Panic?

Wei Guang was unsurprised by everyone's shock.

Even Wei Guang found it unbelievable when he learned of this previously.

"The fact is anything is possible. I have checked with several parties, so this information can't be wrong. The Lu and Xur families suddenly collapsed thanks to this man," Wei Guang spoke expressionlessly in a deep tone.

"That doesn't make sense. How can a young man be that powerful? Also, Jiangdong is just some backwater compared to Yanjing. How could someone from a tiny place like Jiangdong overturn the Yanjing elites? Don't tell me the young man comes from an even more powerful family? Could he be from the Mo clan?" asked someone from the crowd.

Very few families in China were capable of destroying the Lu and Xur clans outrightly, and the Wei family could barely be counted as one of them.

The other family was the Mo family, leader of the elites of Yanjing, which kept a low profile and was mysterious.

All these years, they were rarely involved in the mundane world's conflicts but kept their position as leader of the elite families in Yanjing.

Before the Wei family patriarch died, he visited Yanjing annually to pay his respects during the Lunar New Year.

Also, he said that no other family in China could compare to them other than the Mo family.

He warned all the Wei family's progeny to never provoke the Mo clan.

Regardless of how powerful the Wei family became, they kept a respectful distance from the Mo clan.

Hence, the Wei family had businesses all over the country except for Yanjing.

They were fearful of threatening the Mo family's interests.

Now that the Lu and Xur families were destroyed overnight, everyone naturally thought Ye Fan was related to the Mo family.

Wei Guang shook his head once more. "I investigated Mr Chu thoroughly. He comes from a very humble background. He was brought up in the countryside by his mother before he married into the Qiu family." The entire Wei family was shocked to hear what Wei Guang said.

The eldest daughter of the Wei family, Wei Lu, opened her eyes wide in shock.

It was unbelievable that the man who destroyed two elite families in one fell swoop was from the countryside and a live-in husband.

Wei Lu found this information shockingly dramatic.

"D-doesn't this only happen in fiction?" asked Wei Lu gently with her voice trembling.

She was suddenly curious about the young man.

She really wanted to meet this legendary Mr Chu and find out what he was like.

Wei Lu wasn't alone. The rest of the Wei family felt the same way.

He had started out as a humble live-in husband but eventually trampled the Lu and Xur families under his feet. Anyone would have been shocked by this unexpected twist.

"Uncle, did you send Grandpa Han to handle someone called Mr Chu?" asked Wei Lu worriedly as she turned to look at Wei Chen when she suddenly recalled something.

Wei Chen waved his hand nonchalantly as he replied, "I told Grandmaster Han to take care of a Mr Chu from Yanjing. The man your father is talking about is a different the one from Jiangdong, so don't worry."

Wei Lu nodded in relief.

Wei Guang suddenly opened his eyes wide and said anxiously, "Chen, what did you say you did? Did you say you sent someone to the capital to handle the King of Yanjing?"

"That's right. I was about to tell you about it. Wei Luo met with some trouble in Yanjing. A few hours ago, he asked for help, saying the King of Yanjing has showed up. All the martial artists he brought to Yanjing have been killed, so I sent Grandmaster Han this time. Since we have been eyeing the Yanjing market for a long time, we can take over his territory if we kill the King of Yanjing with overwhelming force," said Wei Chen confidently in a calm tone as though everything was in his control.

The moment Wei Chen finished his sentence, Wei Guang instantly became anxious.

He jumped from his seat and shouted at his older brother anxiously, "Are you stupid? Call Grandmaster Han now and tell him to come back. Otherwise, it will be too late."

Wei Chen was instantly confused before he said confidently, "Guang, what do you mean? Why panic? He is just the current King of Yanjing and an up-and-coming fighter. Do you think I can't handle him? Just relax. I always pick my battles. Although he has gained quite a reputation in recent years, he relies on the Xu and Xue families. Both those clans combined can't outdo us. Last year, the Xu family even apologized to us because we were too powerful."

"Exactly. He is just an up-and-coming martial artist. We can take him down in a second."

"Why panic?"

The rest of the elders chimed in.

However, Wei Guang interrupted anxiously, "You shouldn't have done that. The King of Yanjing is the same man who destroyed two Yanjing elite families, Ye Fan!"

What?

It felt as though a huge boulder had fallen

into the sea and left a tsunami in its wake.

In an instant, everyone was dumbstruck.

The place fell into a complete silence!

Wei Lu opened her eyes wide while Wei Chen's face twitched.

All the elders of the Wei family gasped in shock.

"A-are they the same man?"

"Heavens!"

"How could a young man control both Jiangdong and Yanjing?"

"How is that possible?"

"Is Mr Chu a god or something?"

Everyone in the family trembled from hearing the news. They couldn't believe someone was capable of doing that.

Wei Chen couldn't help feeling worried after hearing the news from his brother. He frowned hard as he looked at Wei Guang and asked. "Is your information accurate? Is the King of Yanjing really Mr Chu from Jiangdong?"

"It's absolutely true. The head of the Xu family, Xu Lei, used to be the CEO of Hongqi Group in Jiangdong and was the goddess of Jiangdong. She probably got to know Ye Fan back then. She was later called back to the family to go through with an arranged marriage. However, Mr Chu went to Yanjing on his own in a fury to stop this! He made a name for himself at the battle of Yanqi Lake and all of Yanjing submitted to him after that. Also, he made Xu Lei the Queen of Yanjing to run the place for him. Both these Mr Chus are the same man!"

Wei Guang was so anxious that he was practically roaring.

He knew that the family wanted to control Yanjing, so he investigated the downfall of the Lu and Xur clans. While he was at it, he checked on the King of Yanjing since he had risen through the ranks swiftly. Wei Guang suffered a major shock after learning the truth.

After Wei Guang learned the truth, he hurried straight home to stop his family from having a head-on conflict with Ye Fan.
