A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)
Chapter 1612

"W-What's going on, Mr. Lei? Why has Mr. Chu become a criminal all of a sudden? What is this War God Castle? Why did you call them imperial commissioners?" Han Dongmin asked in confusion. Although he had been promoted to the governor of Jiangdong, he still regarded Ye Fan as a god among men.

After all, Li Hongze had personally made a trip to Jiangdong just to award Ye Fan the title of "The Nation's Pride."

The fact that Ye Fan received such treatment meant he had contributed greatly to the country, so Han Dongmin had always assumed no one in China would dare mess with him.

As for Meng Wanyu, he simply saw her as a crazy woman bold enough to kidnap Qiu Mucheng in order to get her revenge on Ye Fan.

Hence, Han Dongmin was very surprised to see someone marching into Jiangdong and accusing Ye Fan of being an enemy of the country.

"It's a very complicated story, Governor Han. All you have to know is that the War God Castle is the highest authority in the world of martial arts here in China. The power they possess is similar to that of government officials," Lei San replied with his face all pale.

Han Dongmin knew nothing about the martial arts world, but he understood the last sentence very well.

If the War God Castle represents the government of China, then it was the government that branded Ye Fan as a national enemy!

"H-How did this happen? What's going on, Lei San? I remember the government awarding Mr. Chu the title of 'The Nation's Pride' a little more than a year ago, so how did he become a national enemy now? What on earth is going on here?" Han Dongmin asked while glaring at Lei San with reddened eyes.

He was really anxious as he had risen to power mainly because of Ye Fan's help, which made him one of Ye Fan's associates to a certain degree.

It was because of the government's respect toward Ye Fan that Han Dongmin career as a governor had been smooth sailing over the past two years.

Therefore, Ye Fan losing his title would also bring forth the end of Han Dongmin's career.

I'm well aware that nothing lasts forever. I've never expected Ye Fan's glory days to go on indefinitely, but I didn't think it'd end this soon! It has barely been two years since Ye Fan was awarded his title! Is this all really going to end now?

"Please don't ask me any further, Governor Han. I'm not too sure what this is all about either. You may reserve your questions for Li Er when he gets here later."

Lei San and Wang Jiexi were both stressed out of their minds as the War God Castle's sudden intervention had disrupted their plans completely.

The two of them then turned toward Lu Tianhe in hopes that he could come up with an idea.

"Sigh... What could I possibly do in such a situation? I may have some influence in the military, but I'm just a nobody in the martial arts world. The War God Castle is the highest authority in China for a reason, you know? No one dares go against them because no one is capable of doing so. I got a little worried when Mr. Chu publicly challenged the War God Castle during the Jiangbei incident, but I had assumed they would leave him alone out of appreciation for his talents. Well, it looks like I was wrong about that. Seeing as these five Grandmasters have come all the way to Jiangdong to arrest Mr. Chu, it would appear that the War God Castle is determined to take action against him. I suppose that's why Mr. Chu rarely comes out these days. I used to think that the reason Mr. Chu rarely comes is that he fears the power of Chu Sect that is backing Meng Wanyu up. Now, I see that he is actually avoiding the War God Castle instead..." Lu Tianhe exclaimed helplessly.

The questions he had in his mind had all been answered.

At that moment, Li Er came rushing over looking extremely worn out.

Lei San and the others immediately ran up to him and asked, "What's going on here, Li Er? You were supposed to seek reinforcements in Yanjing, so how did you end up bringing a bunch of imperial commissioners instead?"

"Things aren't looking good for Mr. Chu. The War God Castle is serious about taking action against him," Li Er replied with a solemn expression.

He had been waiting for days at the bottom of Mount Yan, but he never saw the King of Fighters, Sword

Saint, or the others.

With no other choice, Li Er decided to pay off all the staff at Mount Van for information on what was going on.

He figured the War God Castle would at least allow him to meet them due to his connection with Ye Fan.

However, Li Er was told that the War God Castle had recently held a grand meeting a few days ago. The only topic on the agenda was how they would punish Ye Fan for his crime.

Li Er knew the situation had to be serious if the War God Castle was gathering support from forces all over the country just to arrest Ye Fan.

He then returned to Jiangdong and rushed over to Yunzhou as quickly as he could.

"What happened? How did Mr. Chu end up becoming a national enemy all of a sudden? Is this about that incident in Jiangbei? Wasn't that already taken care of? Is the War God Castle seriously raking up old grievances?"

Lei San, Wang Jiexi, and Han Dongmin were all clueless as to what this was all about.

Li Er shook his head. "No, I think Mr. Chu has gotten himself into some new trouble. The high-ranking officials of the War God Castle are really pissed at him."

Lei San and the others shuddered upon hearing that.

"Oh, Mr. Chu... Could you please stay out of trouble for once? Even if you're not afraid of trouble, you should at least think about your subordinates here in Jiangdong..." they exclaimed with wry smiles on their faces.

The fact that Ye Fan had become an enemy of the country left them all pale from fear and nervousness.

"Where are you, Ye Fan? Turn yourself in now!"

The Grandmaster's cold voice sounded deafening in the silence of the night.

Li Er and the others were so intimidated by the authoritative air of the five Grandmasters that they trembled while hiding in the crowd.

"You are but mere Grandmasters, and yet you dare address a Supreme by name? One would assume people of your age would at least have some manners."

The faint voice of a woman could be heard coming from the crowd.

Lu Tianhe and his men were all frozen in shock when they heard that.

Who could possibly be so bold as to insult the Grandmasters?

Li Er turned around in response, only to realize it was the beautiful CEO of Hongqi Group, Xu Lei.

"Watch your tongue, Ms. Xu! You could die if you piss these guys off!" he warned her.
