A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)
Chapter 1601

Never did he think that a crazed woman would appear on his doorstep in a matter of hours.

After defeating all of his guards, the woman barged into his house and demanded to know Ye Fan's whereabouts. Wang Jiexi was flabbergasted.

Had he known that Li Er was telling the truth, he would have fled the country.

However, what truly irked Wang Jiexi was that Li Er was the better person to ask about Ye Fan's location.

Everyone in Jiangdong knew that Yunzhou was where Mr. Chu called home.

"Young lady, I really have no idea," Wang Jiexi continued to beg for mercy.

"Li Er of Yunzhou said that you would know," the woman replied emotionlessly. "What?" Wang Jiexi's eyes bulged out of their sockets at the sound of this.

"That jerk! No wonder he called to tell me to escape! He was the one who threw me into the fire!" Wang Jiexi spluttered angrily. Veins popped out of his neck from exasperation as he cursed Li Er in his head.

"Miss, don't listen to that b*stard. The person who has the highest chance of knowing Mr. Chu's whereabouts is Li Er. If you don't believe me, I can accompany you to Yunzhou and interrogate that b*stard myself." Seething with ire, Wang Jiexi proposed a showdown with Li Er.

The following day, three old men were found hanging from the ceiling of the Lei residence, their limbs tied up in intricate knots and their faces battered beyond recognition.

The three men were the powerhouses of Jiangdong. They held immense power and were second only to Ye Fan.

They were none other than Lei San of Jingzhou, Li Er of Yunzhou, and Wang Jiexi of Jianghai.

"F*ck you, Li Er and Wang Jiexi! The two of you set me up!" Lei San lashed out at Li Er and Wang Jiexi, his face covered with bruises.

"Mr. Lei, we had no choice. It was either this or to die,"

Li Er defended himself sheepishly.

"We had to bring her to you. We thought that you might know where Mr. Chu is," Li Er continued, his tone woeful.

As he spoke, Li Er shot a glare at Wang Jiexi.

Li Er had already escaped after the woman left Yunzhou and washed his hands of the case.

Unfortunately, Wang Jiexi dragged the woman to Li Er's hiding place, thus exposing him.

In hindsight, Li Er realized that it was probably unwise to hide in the club that he and Wang Jiexi frequented.

"Wang Jiexi, I will kill myself before I bring you to another happy ending massage!" Li Er swore, livid.

"How dare you blame me for this! You were the one who threw me under the bus in the first place!" Moments later, three of the most influential people in Jiangdong were squabbling like preschool children.

The sight of this rendered Meng Wanyu speechless.

She figured that Ye Fan must have been blind to leave

Jiangdong underthe care of three idiots.

Nevertheless, Meng Wanyu could not be bothered about Jiangdong's government.

Right now, finding Ye Fan and returning to the Chu Sect before the wedding was of utmost priority.

"Enough!"

A word from Meng Wanyu was enough to shut the three men up.

"My patience is limited. This is your last chance, and it's up to you whether you take it. If you don't, you'll have to endure torture beyond physical pain!"

Whoosh!

Cold wind surged through the open windows, causing the temperature in the room to drop dramatically.

"Hmph."

"Don't you try to threaten us."

"Young lady, my advice to you is to let us go while you can, or you'll suffer greatly when Mr. Chu returns."

At this point, the men had been backed into a corner.

With nothing to lose, they threw all caution to the wind and spoke derisively to Meng Wanyu.

Meng Wanyu scoffed upon hearing their words. "Suffer greatly? I'll be honest with you-although I don't know much about China, I can tell you with absolute certainty that apart from the Six Pillars of China of War God Castle, no one is worth a second glance from me!"

"Shut up! How dare you speak of Mr. Chu with such disrespect?" Li Er chastised. "Mr. Chu's prominence is legendary and unprecedented. He brought thousands of people to their knees and forced the noblest of men to bow before him. You're just an ignorant kid, and yet you have the audacity to blaspheme against him?”

Meng Wanyu burst into laughter upon hearing Li Er's enraged words.

"Who would have thought that a cowardly old man like you would have the guts to speak up for a scumbag. Having said that, I still have no respect for Mr. Chu despite all your pretty words. What kind of man doesn't protect and care for his significant other? The lowliest of men, that's who."

Disgust seeped through Meng Wanyu's words.

After all, from Meng Wanyu's point of view, Ye Fan was the root cause of her best friend's distress.

Had he not stolen Angie's heart, she would never have ended up in this predicament.

Moreover, if he truly cared and loved for her, he should have stood by her side like a man-the two of them against the world. However, instead effacing the obstacles that came their way, the pusillanimous man went into hiding and left Angie to fend for herself.

"You're spouting lies! Everyone in Jiangdong knows that Mr. Chu adores his wife. He gifted her a mansion worth a hundred billion located on Mount Yunding. On their wedding day, Mr. Chu invited the biggest names in the country to witness and bless their marriage. When his wife was denigrated, Mr. Chu massacred thousands of people in Westlake. Miss Qiu must be the luckiest woman on earth! If Mr. Chu is the lowliest of men as you say he is, then there are no good men left in this world," Li Er rebutted.

Meng Wanyu whipped back suddenly as something Li Er said caught her attention. "What did you say? He's married?"

"Were you not aware? Mr. Chu has been married for ages. Miss Qiu might even be expecting a baby. So if you secretly admire Mr. Chu, I suggest you give up right now," Li Er said with a taunting smirk to provoke Meng Wanyu.

"B*astard. How dare he play with Angie's feelings and belittle her loyalty to him? B*stards like him deserve to burn in hell!”

Fury coursed through Meng Wanyu after she learned that Ye Fan was already married.

Her gaze turned glacial as she clenched her fists.

Her delicate face was filled with malevolence.

With that, Meng Wanyu swiftly left the Lei residence.

"Hmm?"

"Where are you going?"

"Aren't you looking for Mr. Chu?"

"Don't leave." "Why don't you wait for Mr. Chu to arrive?"

"Mr. Chu will teach you a lesson!"

The three men were puzzled by Meng Wanyu's sudden departure. Still hanging from the beam of the roof, they called after her.

"All right, that's enough. It'll be too late to beg for your life if she comes back to kill you," Wan Jiexi cautioned.

Unperturbed, Li Er snickered and replied, "Don't worry. I can tell that the girl is interested in Mr. Chu. She wouldn't kill us on his behalf. Didn't you see how her face fell when I mentioned that Mr. Chu's married? She was as pale as a sheet!"

"She's probably hiding in a corner somewhere, curled up and crying about her loss. Mr. Chu, oh, Mr. Chu, how many hearts have you broken?" Li Er lamented sardonically.

Disagreeing with Li Er's rationale, Lei San shook his head. "How are you so sure that she's crying in a corner? Jealousy can be a dangerous emotion. For all we know, she's on her way to Yunzhou to kill Ms. Qiu!"

Li Er's heart skipped a beat as his face turned a ghastly white.

"Sh*t! Q-quick, call Miss Qiu and tell herto run for her life!"
