A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)
Chapter 1628

"Come on, we should go too," Tang Hao turned to Mo Gucheng and said.

They did not make this trip to solve Ye Fan's problem in the first place. In truth, they actually came for a member of Chu Sect.

Earlier, Li Er, who was on his way to the War God Castle in Mount Yan, informed them that Chu Sect had intruded on China's territory, particularly in Jiangdong. Tang Hao came to check it out because he was concerned that warriors with the Supreme title from Chu Sect might have entered the country.

Now that he thought about it, he was relieved that they had come. Otherwise, China would have lost five of the greatest heroes in the world of martial arts.

"We're just gonna leave like this? Are we not gonna stay to see through the War God Castle's verdict on Ye Fan?" Mo Gucheng expressed his dismay.

"That's not the most important thing to do right now. Let's bring this member of the Chu Sect back to Mount Yan and interrogate her first. We need to find out if they had any plans in mind," Tang Hao said in a deep voice.

In truth, this was but an excuse to stop Mo Guzheng from intervening in the matter regarding the War God Castle's verdict on Ye Fan, as he was afraid that the two might end up fighting.

After all, Ye Fan was clearly still furious at that point. Mentioning anything about his punishment would be like adding fuel to the fire.

What if the hot-headed Ye Fan doesn't take it welt? Let's just stay away from this mess for now.

Upon hearing Tang Hao's explanation, Mo Gucheng nodded in agreement.

Compared to Ye Fan, Chu Sect was a much bigger threat. So it was crucial for Tang Hao and Mo Gucheng to figure out their ulterior motive first.

"All right. I'll listen to you this time. Let's return to Mount Yan and interrogate this witch first then!"

Mo Gucheng's expression turned grim, and he swung his hand at Meng Wanyu. She was in so much pain that she started spewing blood.

Mo Gucheng said to her, "You've killed tens of thousands of our people, and now you still have the guts to stir up trouble in China? Do you have a death wish or something?"

He gave Meng Wanyu a murderous look. "We can't do anything to the head of Chu Sect now, but it doesn't mean we don't have the guts to lay a finger on you. I'll skin you alive to avenge our citizens!" Chu Sect and China had been arch enemies for generations.

Quite a number of Supreme Grandmasters from China were killed during the Chu Sect crisis years ago. The number of warriors below the Supreme status who had died in the crisis was countless. A few of Mo Gucheng's uncles had also lost their lives in the crisis.

Although the mastermind behind the incident was not around anymore, Chu Sect still existed.

To further aggravate the situation, the head of Chu Sect had recently carried out a massacre in Yaleview. It was not difficult to understand Mo Gucheng's and Tang Hao's disgust and hatred toward the sect. Everyone believed that Meng Wanyu would suffer miserably underthe hands of Mo Guchengand Tang Hao.

Mo Gucheng lifted his hand and plucked a few branches from a tree nearby.

He then channeled his Qi into the branches, turning them into sturdy metal chains. He used them to tie Meng Wanyu up and walked her like a dog as they made their way to Yanjing. Everyone could only sigh in silence, as no one had the guts to put in a good word for Meng Wanyu.

Qiu Mucheng was the only one who felt bad for Meng Wanyu upon hearing how she cried out in pain. She turned to Ye Fan and asked, "Is there anything you could do to help her? She's not a bad person. She only abducted me on impulse and had no bad intention."

Ye Fan was unmoved. He pressed his voice and replied, "You're too kind and innocent, Mucheng. Danger lurks everywhere. How do you know she's not evil? Besides, she's a member of Chu Sect. I wouldn't rescue anyone from Chu Sect unless there are valid reasons for me to do so."

Qiu Mucheng noticed a slight change in Ye Fan's expression when he mentioned the words Chu Sect.

Her curiosity was piqued, but she did not ask further.

She wondered what sort of grudges Ye Fan held against Chu Sect.

She also wondered what kind of sect it was and why Mo Gucheng and Tang Hao hated them to the core.

Soon after, Qiu Mucheng and Ye Fan got into their car and were ready to leave.

All of a sudden, a clear but breathy voice resonated in Ye Fan's ears. "On the outskirts of Agate City, and in the depths of the rainforest. Ye Fan, do you still remember Angie from the Tree of Primal Spirit?" Meng Wanyu was all tied up, and blood seeped through the corner of her mouth.

The heavy downpour had drenched her entire body. She was in absolute pain.

Yet, she clenched her teeth and used the remaining energy she had to get Ye Fan's attention.

Ye Fan froze when he heard what she said.

The indifferent expression on his face had changed immediately.

"Stop the car!" he ordered the chauffeur.

Ye Fan opened the doorand got down from the vehicle.

He did not get wet in the rain despite not holding an umbrella, as all the raindrops around him had evaporated.

He tilted his head and looked in Meng Wanyu's direction.

In a low voice, he asked the woman from Chu Sect, "You know Angie?" Did she ask you to come and find me? Did something bad happen to her?"

Upon hearing what Meng Wanyu said, Ye Fan could somehow figure out something was amiss.

After all, not many people in Chu Sect knew about his relationship with Angie.

Besides, Ye Fan had never met this woman before.

Yet, she was willing to travel thousands of miles to Jiangdong and asked him if he remembered Angie.

It was clear that Angie sent her to China to look for him.

She wouldn't have bothered someone to look for me had she not been in trouble.

Meng Wanyu said, "So you do remember Angie. Do you know that silly girl has been waiting for you for years? Do you know she forced herself to step into the martial arts world and learn techniques to kill people so that she could lend you a hand?"

She continued, "Do you know she had gone against her family's will just because she wanted to wait for you? She was even willing to sacrifice her life for you." Anger surged within her, and Meng Wanyu's eyes turned red with tears welling up in them. Despite so, she forced her emotions down and pulled herself together. Even though she might die that day, she must still find out the truth on Angie's behalf.

"And what have you done? You're just a heartless man who enjoys basking in all the power and glory you have here, not forgetting the embrace of your trophy wife."

She sneered, "The most powerful man in Jiangdong; the Unrivalled. All impressive titles, huh? But have you ever thought of the girl who's suffering in a foreign country because of you? If you couldn't promise her happiness, why did you mess with her in the first place? Why did you promise her something you can't deliver?"

The tearful Meng Wanyu roared at Ye Fan, "It's all your fault. This is all your fault! You're to blame if Angie dies during her wedding!"

The way she was acting was like a mother-in-law that was reprimanding her son-in-law, who had let her daughter down.

Every was struck dumb upon hearing that.

No one had expected the fight at Yunwu Lake would turn into a scene where a woman dissed a heartless man on behalf of her best friend.

Li Er chuckled. "Wow, what an interesting story about Mr. Chu. How did he manage to have an affair with a woman outside despite having a beautiful wife? I'm impressed!"

He added, "But I guess foreign women with a fair complexion, straight nose, and blue eyes are indeed

exotic. I would be tempted too!"

Li Er was so focused on his joke that he did not notice Qiu Mucheng was already giving him a murderous look.
