A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)
Chapter 1607

"Mu... Mucheng?"

"How... how can this be Mucheng?"

"This is impossible! Impossible!"

Han Li and her husband were dumbstruck.

They widened their eyes, which were filled with a look of utter disbelief.

"What about Ye Fan? Isn't he Mr. Chu? Isn't he the head of Jiangdong? How can he call himself a man if he can't even protect his wife? I let my daughter marry him because I want her to be happy, not to suffer with him. Ye Fan! I want to look for Ye Fan! Ye Fan, come out right now!"

After that huge shock, Han Li kept shrieking Ye Fan's name in the crowd like a madwoman.

The fury and worry in her eyes were too obvious.

After all, parents only wanted the best for their children.

No matter how mean Han Li and her husband might be, they could never bear to see their daughter in danger.

After learning that Qiu Mucheng had been kidnapped, they were naturally worried.

Furthermore, Han Li and Qiu Lei had been working all their lives without accomplishing anything much.

Qiu Mucheng was their only pride and pillar of support.

If they lost their daughter, Han Li and Qiu Lei could barely imagine how they would survive alone in the future.

Overwhelmed by anxiousness, Han Li squeezed through the crowd with bloodshot eyes and screamed, "Ye Fan, you b*stard! Come out now! If anything happens to my daughter, I'll not let you off the hook!" Her piercing insults echoed across the venue.

Han Li's voice was already very loud, to begin with. Despite the crowd speaking over each other, Lei San and the rest could hear her clearly from a distance away.

"What happened? Who's making such a huge ruckus? How dare someone speak of Mr. Chu in such a disrespectful manner? Bring the person over!"

Meanwhile, in a pavilion beside the lake, Lei San and the others were discussing something. A troubled look hung on their faces.

There were a few men in suits sitting beside them solemnly.

They were no strangers.

For instance, the burly and intimidating-looking elderly man at the side was Lu Tianhe, the military commander of Jiangdong.

On his left was Han Dongmin, who managed to rise up the ranks and become the governor of the province in his forties. He was a formidable presence in Jiangdong's political scene. Beside him was He Lanshan, who had been evicted by Ye Fan after provoking him. He was forced to go to the countryside to help the poor, before resuming his original position in Jiangdong. However, He Lanshan had been demoted to a position secondary to Han Dongmin's.

In the past, no one would have expected Han Dongmin, who used to be a measly deputy mayor, to have such a smooth-sailing career.

Others might not know why, but Han Dongmin knew the reason very well.

His current accomplishments and status were not only because of his integrity and concern for the people. More significantly, it was due to Ye Fan.

Now, a huge commotion had broken out over Ye Fan's wife being kidnapped.

No matter how important and significant other issues were, Han Dongmin could still ignore them. However, it was impossible for him to stand idly by as Ye Fan was his benefactor's wife. Hence, after hearing about this, Han Dongmin traveled to Jiangdong overnight. He summoned Lei San and the rest to work out a plan to resolve this.

As for He Lanshan, he had been wanting to improve his relationship with Ye Fan for a long time.

Now that Ye Fan's wife was in danger, this was a perfect opportunity for him to mend his relationship with Ye Fan. Naturally, he tagged along too. His daughter, He Yurou, followed He Lanshan there as well.

It had been months ever since the farewell at Jiangbei.

To Ye Fan, he might have already forgotten this gentle lady whom he had only met briefly.

However, for others, a single meeting was enough to ingrain the memory in their minds forever.

He Yurou was like that.

That brief encounter at the Westlake and the sight of that man's back was enough to leave a permanent imprint on He Yurou's mind.

For that period of time, He Yurou had been constantly paying attention to news about Jiangdong and that man.

However, Ye Fan was simply too mysterious.

Although he was a very powerful person, there was barely any news about him.

The only time she could be involved with Ye Fan was during this meeting at Yunwu Lake.

"Ye Fan, will you show up? You'll probably come to save your wife, right?"

Even though the crowd was very noisy, He Yurou was oblivious to it.

Her gaze was fixed on the boat in the middle of the lake.

She had never stopped focusing on Qiu Mucheng, for she wanted to know what kind of woman was able to conquerthat man's heart.

Soon, Han Li and her husband were brought over by a subordinate.

"Mr. Lei, both of them were the ones insulting Mr. Chu. Kneel!"

While the subordinate reported to the rest, he kicked Han Li and her husband, sendingthem toppling to the ground.

"How dare you hit me, you b*stard! How dare you? I'm Ye Fan's mother-in-law. Even Mr. Chu will have to show some respect to me. What right do you have to hit me?" roared Han Li.

Han Dongmin frowned. "I think she's a bit crazy. Bring her to the mental hospital and force her to get treated."

Since Han Dongmin had already issued his command, no one dared to disobey him.

Immediately, a few officials appeared and were about to drag Han Li and her husband away.

"Stop! Who dares to touch them?"

At that moment, someone dashed out of the crowd.

She was none other than Su Qian, Qiu Mucheng's best friend.

"Ms. Su?"

Lei San and Wang Jiexi recognized Su Qian when they saw her.

After all, since Su Qian was constantly by Qiu Mucheng's side, so Wang Jiexi saw her regularly.

"Release them. They're Mucheng's parents. You can't detain them!" insisted Su Qian.

"What? They're really Mr. Chu's parents-in-law?"

When Han Dongmin heard that, his face turned pale as he jumped to his feet.

Although he now had significant power over Jiangdong, he could not remain calm if Ye Fan was involved. Hence, he quickly rushed over to apologize.

"There's no need forthat, Governor Han. Mr. Chu doesn't have a good relationship with them and has already cutoff all familial ties with them. Even if we lock them up, he won't have any issue with it." Only then did Han Dongmin heave a sigh of relief.

"However, since they're Ms. Qiu's parents, it's better if we don't put them in a tight spot. Take them away and settle them down."

Han Dongmin waved his hands, signaling his subordinates to bring them away.

"I'm not leaving. We're not leaving! I want to see Ye Fan! Tell him to come out! He must give us an explanation! We entrusted our daughter to him, but is this how he's taking care of her?" Han Li was still screaming.

"Ma'am, stop kicking up a fuss. Let's talk about it after we leave this place. These people aren't just any ordinary people. If you create a ruckus, no one can defend you, even if you're Mucheng's parents." Su Qin could see how tense the situation was. Knowing that no one there could be easily trifled with, she quickly dragged Han Li and her husband out.

"What should we do now? Do we continue watching just like that?"

After Han Li and her husband left, Lei San and the rest were once again at a loss for solutions.

"Why don't we send someone to attack them outright? We can also dispatch a sniperto blow up that batch's head and save Ms. Qiu," suggested Han Dongming solemnly after a brief silence.

However, Lu Tianhe opposed it vehemently. "No way! You aren't well-versed in martial arts, so you don't know how powerful martial artists can be. I can sense that the woman who kidnapped Ms. Qiu has a very extraordinary aura. It is highly possible that she's as powerful as a Grandmaster. At such a level, there's no need for her to fear bullets. Furthermore, we can't be certain whether your sniper can make the shot accurately. If the attack fails and we end up provoking the enemy, none of us here can bear the

consequences."
