A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)
Chapter 1737

Ye Fan's voice resounded from the peak of the mountain.

He was incensed, but Tang Yun could not understand his fury. "What do you mean? What happened to her?"

It was true that she was informed of what the Chu family did, but with regards to Angie, she was completely not in the know.

She was confused when Ye Fan suddenly brought up Angie.

"For real, Ms. Tang? Are you really asking me this question? You're the head of the sect, and yet you can't even protect a girl?" Ye Fan scoffed deridingly.

He found her reply preposterous.

Seeing his response, Tang Yun turned and looked at the elders of the family.

"I think someone owes me an explanation. What exactly happened to the Jones family? Where's Angie? Bring here her," she said commandingly.

Although she was not angered by Ye Fan's attitude, it was still apparent that she took the matter seriously.

The group of elders shied away from her glare when they were interrogated. Chu Zhengliang was especially nervous. He tried hiding so Tang Yun could not see him.

"Did y'all not hear me?" Tang Yun shouted forcefully.

Everyone was startled at her voice. They were so afraid they faltered backward.

When they saw that there was no way they could evade giving an answer, the head of the elders came forward slowly. "Ms. Tang, Ms. Jones met with a plane crash a few days ago. She did not survive," he reported remorsefully. "We just found out about it as well."

"What did you say?"

Tang Yun was shook. The dreadful news unnerved her.

"Was it really just an accident? Did any of you look into it?"

She showered them with questions.

"Yes, we did. We sent someone over to look into the matter with the Jones family. I think they will report back to us soon."

Tang Yun finally understood why Ye Fan stormed his way up the mountain. She looked back at him in guilt and grief.

"I'm sorry for what happened. I understand your loss. None of us saw this coming. This is just an accident, and I'm sure it has nothing to do with us. You can't just hold us accountable for an accident. As for the apology that we promised, I will see to it that they do it the proper way. We will go to Jiangdong ourselves this time. I hope you can put an end to all this killing. If you're willing to retreat now, you will not be held liable for the lives you took today."

It seemed like Tang Yun was willing to let him walk away with impunity after all he did. This was partly because she knew she was in the wrong for not ensuring that the Chu family live up to their promise. She was aware that the family should have taken their promise seriously and deep in her heart, she felt guilty for what happened to Angie as well.

Tang Yun was not an unreasonable person. She was willing to bear the responsibility for her negligence,

yet the others did not agree with her.

"Ms. Tang! We can't just let him go! He killed so many of us. How can we just let him go away?"

The elders were the first to voice their dissatisfaction.

They were hell-bent on having Ye Fan pay for the damage inflicted on the family, but when they saw Tang Yun's face, they stopped talking immediately. They were able to tell that Tang Yun was piqued.

"I don't want to hear another word. I will explain my decision to the Old Master."

Tang Yun disregarded theiropinions and insisted on her stance. She made it clear that she would let Ye Fan go free.

Just when she thought the issue came to a resolution, Ye Fan burst out laughing.

"Tang Yun, do you think you can fool me with your act? Do you actually think I'll buy it?"

Ye Fan did not believe a word she said. To him, everything was nothing but a joke.

"Do I look like I'm lying?" Tang Yun questioned with a frown.

She was starting to feel annoyed.

She could not understand how Ye Fan could take the casualties he caused so lightly.

Given what he did, the Chu Sect had all the right to kill him.

She took his side and gave him a way out despite how the elders were against it.

She did not expect Ye Fan to behave so impertinently. Not only was he not grateful to her, but he also mocked her.

"Should I take you seriously?" Ye Fan continued. "You said Angie's death was nothing but an accident. Do you think I believe you? I commissioned you to protect her a month ago, and now this happened. I don't think this is just pure coincidence. Who knows if you're condoning what they did to her? They might well be the reason why Angie died. Your inability to stop them from taking her life means you're responsible as well." "Ye Fan, I already told you I will give you an explanation for what happened," Tang Yun said calmly, trying to placate him again.

"Everything is still under investigation. If there's really a culprit behind, I will see to it that that person pays for-"

"Enough," Ye Fan interrupted. "Your promises mean nothing to me. I will avenge Angie's death myself."

Now that Ye Fan made up his mind to take things into his own hands, he directed his gaze toward the crowd and started looking for Chu Zhengliang. "W-what do you want with me?"

When Chu Zhengliang sensed Ye Fan's wrath, he stuttered in fear with his face paled. He could feel Ye Fan's glare drilling through him.

"Ha. Do you really not know what I'm here for? I'm here to kill you. I should've ended your life a lot earlier. Yourtime is up, Chu Zhengliang. I will make sure you pay for what you did to Angie. You are a shame to the family."

Ye Fan pronounced judgment on the man. Chu Zhengliang was overwhelmed by Ye Fan's wrath and froze right where he was, unable to move an inch.

"What did he just say?" Tang Yun mumbled to herself. She realized something was not adding up. "Chu Zhengliang!" she shouted. "What is going on? Are you hiding something from me? Don't tell me you have something to do with Angie's death!"

She knew what kind of a person Ye Fan was. He would never kill for no good reason.

The fact that he butchered so many people just to make his way here to face Chu Zhengliang meant the latter must have done something unforgivable.

"Ms. Tang!" Chu Zhengliang shouted. "Don't listen to him. I didn't do anything. He's the one who's responsible for what happened. He must have wanted Angie's powers. That's why he dug out her eyes! The accident has nothing to do with me!"

Chu Zhengliang could not imagine what would happen to him if he fell under Ye Fan's hands, so he quickly defended himself and put all the blame on Ye Fan.

"What? What did you say happened to her?"

Tang Yun was confounded.

She was so young! She still had a good life ahead of her. Who did that to her?

Even Tang Yun struggled to keep her calm when she found out about the truth. So this is why Ye Fan is so worked up.

"Ye Fan, you must trust me. I will get to the bottom of this. I care for Angie as well. I saw her grow up and she is like my own sibling to me. I will not spare whoever did this to her."

"Tang Yun, are you still taking the Chu family's side now? You don't even need to go looking for the culprit! He's right here! I didn't say what exactly happened to Angie, but Chu Zhengliang said she was blinded. How does he even know about it?"
