A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)
Chapter 1865

Hu Yipeng stood rooted to the ground and stared blankly ahead of him in fright.

Afterward, he didn't say anything more. Instead, he urged Yue Yingchun, "Quick, Yingchun. Help Ye Fan pack his stuff and give him some money. Send him on the train by tonight!" "Hurry!"

Yue Yingchun was scared by Hu Yipeng's reaction.

"What's going on, Yipeng? Don't tell me that this Zhang family is someone that we can't afford to offend!" Terrified, Yue Yingchun whispered.

"Stop asking and start packing for Ye Fan. Send them away from Livingsfill, no, Jiangbei!"

"Don't ever come back here, Ye Fan. Or else you won't be able to escape when they come!"

Hu Yipeng was panicking.

Ye Fan did not expect him and his family to react so badly to the news.

He tried to explain again, "Mr. Hu, it really isn't a big thing. I've had it under control."

"What do you know, child?" Hu Yipeng raised his voice agitatedly. "Do you really think you can get away after fending them off? How are you going to defend yourself from their powerful family when you are just an average worker?"

"Leave this place with your sister before the Zhangs come after you. This is all we have left. It may not be much, but it will last you for a few days at least. Just go!" Hu Yipeng handed a stack of money to Ye Fan as he said.

At the same time, Yue Yingchun came into the room with a box. "I've prepared some food for you. Share this with your sister on the way. Remember to call us once you are safe!"

"Why on earth do bad things have to happen to you?"

Yue Yingchun was not expecting their farewell to come this sudden.

She thought Ye Fan would stay with them for a long time, but alas, she had to send them away because of what happened.

Yue Yingchun teared up as she watched Ye Fan and Junie.

Although they only lived together for less than a month, Yue Yingchun and her family really liked Ye Fan and Junie.

Yue Yingchun liked Junie so much that she wanted to take her in as her god-daughter.

"I'm so sorry, Junie. We are sending you away because we don't have the ability to protect the both of you."

Yue Yingchun held Junie's hand and bid farewell to her reluctantly.

After all, they had no power in the society and all they could think of was to flee when trouble landed.

Seeing that there was no point in further explaining things, Ye Fan kept quiet.

After all, it was time for them to leave too.

Ye Fan had been racking his brains to come up with an excuse to leave Yue Yingchun and her family. Now he was given the opportunity to leave them.

Finally, Ye Fan and Junie left the cozy courtyard where they had been staying for the past two weeks and bid farewell to the kind-hearted family that took them in.

Before they left, Hu Yipeng held Ye Fan's hand and advised, "Ye Fan, I won't probe any further, but I need to tell you something."

"I admire that you are true to yourself. However, you need to have a powerful family as a backbone if you want to stay true to yourself."

"We have no choice but to accept the fact that we are merely ordinary people. We are not born into a prominent family, nor do we have a strong background. More than ninety percent of the people in this world are plain nobodies."

"Hence, you must not act on impulse. You must learn how to be flexible and tactful."

"You will succeed only if you have good people skills and not offend anyone! Remember that any fight you win right now does not mean that you are a hero.”

"A true hero is those who continue to live on with love even when the reality is harsh. I hope you learn from this incident and treat it as a lesson."

"Take care, Ye Fan. We will wait for your good news in the future!"

Hu Yipeng's eyes glazed with tears. His words were filled with hope and blessings for Ye Fan and Junie.

That night, the moon shone brightly over Jiangbei enough to light up Ye Fan's path.

He clasped his fists and bowed sincerely before Yue Yingchun and Hu Yipeng.

After accepting their blessings, he turned around and left.

However, before he could even take a few steps, Tangtang suddenly rushed out of the house.

Crying, she seemed to have overheard their conversation and didn't want Ye Fan and Junie to leave.

She wanted Ye Fan to tell her bedtime stories every night and practice martial arts with him every morning.

"Listen to me, Tangtang. If Ye Fan stays, the bad guys will keep coming after him. You don't want him to get hurt, do you?" Yue Yingchun said to her daughter.

The obedient little girl shook her head.

Tears streaming down her cheeks, she didn't kick up a fuss despite feeling sad and reluctant about Ye Fan's departure.

Using up the energy she had left, Tangtang yelled at Ye Fan's receding figure, "Ye Fan, you must come back and marry me when I grow up!"

The little girl's voice faded into the night as the wind howled.

"Why didn't you explain just now and tell them you are the Hall Master of the Dragon God Hall? That you have enough power to shake up the whole of China?" Junie asked Ye Fan on the way out.

Ye Fan shook his head. "They know nothing about the martial arts world. Even if I told them, they wouldn't have believed me."

"Compared to these titles, I rather they remember me as Ye Fan, an ordinary man who came to Jiangbei for a living."

Junie was stunned momentarily by Ye Fan's words.

She realized that he had changed a lot over the past

few years.

If Ye Fan were a blade that glowed in the dark, now he was a dimmed blade hidden in a sheath except that he was sharper and deadlier.

Junie didn't know what to expect when the day that Ye Fan unleashed his full ability came.

As Ye Fan became more reserved, Junie could feel that he yearn for a peaceful and steady life.

"Maybe he's tired of all the fighting in the martial arts world," Junie thought.

"Let's go, Junie. Let's go to the Lu Clan."

"My life depends on you now, Junie. But don't feel too pressured."

"I have just barely escaped death. If I make it through this test, that means I'm blessed by God. If I don't, then I shall accept my destiny."

Ye Fan smiled gently as he talked about life and death calmly.

Even if Junie didn't tell him, Ye Fan could guess that the treatment that he was about to undergo was

highly risky.

Back then, his father too wanted to heal him of his illness but gave up because the stakes were too high.

If the treatment failed, Ye Fan would lose his life immediately.

That was the reason his father gave up on treating him.

"Don't worry, Ye Fan. I won't allow that."

"I will make sure that you live on."

Junie held his hand and looked at him with determination.

She had seen too many deaths and sent off many of her love ones.

This time, she would do anything to make sure Ye Fan lived on!
