A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)
Chapter 1872

They watched helplessly as Zhang Zixi's sharp finger cut through the air and went straight into Qiu Mucheng's throat.

She might not be a Grandmaster, but her moves were on par with those high-level skills shared by Mortal Spark on the forum.

Therefore, it was fair to say that Zhang Zixi's capabilities were beyond those of the Grandmasters.

If the Grandmasters had the power to rival the dragon, with Zhang Zixi's current power, she could easily weaponize anything from bamboos to woods. Hence, it was nothing surprising to see her fight with merely her finger.

At that moment, anguish engulfed Qiu Mucheng whereas Liu Tubing and the rest were totally freaked out.

Unexpectedly, Fan Junior who was being guarded by Shen Fei risked his life and darted over.

Just as everyone assumed that Qiu Mucheng was doomed when they saw Zhang Zixi aiming viciously

at her throat, the latter stopped in the nick of time.

Her finger hung mid-air, about an inch away from ending Qiu Mucheng's life.

Blop!

Huge beads of sweat dripped down the sides of Qiu Mucheng's face.

Each drop fell to the ground and splashed into smaller droplets.

That was so close!

It would not be difficult to imagine the fear Qiu Mucheng had at her very first near-death experience.

Her face was ghastly white when she looked at Zhang Zixi, puzzled.

I just can't figure this woman out. What's her motive? If she wants to kill me, why did she save me and risk offending the Mengs? And if her intention was to help me, then...

While everyone was still dwelling in bewilderment, Zhang Zixi discreetly retracted her energy, and her intimidating aura faded away.

Then, she looked menacingly at Qiu Mucheng. Compared to her previous glances thrown at the latter, she now completely despised her.

"I can't think of a reason why he's so fond of you."

Zhang Zixi shook her head at the thought of Meng Chuan before heading out.

She would not kill Qiu Mucheng, and neither did she dare to do so.

She was well aware of Ye Fan's power. Even her own grandfather revered him. With that said, she naturally would not look for trouble by challenging a god-like fighter. Her actions earlier were meant to test Qiu Mucheng.

I thought that she was a unique character, and that's why the man fell head over heels for her. However, I was so wrong. This woman named Qiu Mucheng is just an ordinary plain jane. A weakling, dare I say. I'm definitely better than her in all aspects, be it my great looks, figure, and even my abilities! I just don't understand how could a worthless woman like her win his heart?

Zhang Zixi racked her brains but nothing came up.

Perhaps she lucked out and met him earlier than me, and this has made all the difference.

"Um... May I know why did you help me? Also, who's the man that you were referring to?"

Seeing that Zhang Zixi was about to leave, Qiu Mucheng who had calmed down quickly chased after her, wanting to get some clarification.

Everything happens so suddenly, and I don't have the slightest idea why would she want to help me. What does she mean by the last sentence?

Qiu Mucheng was very curious about all these. She could not help but feel that something fishy was going on.

This was not the first time she came across such a feeling.

Prior to this, she vaguely heard a voice calling out to her right before she was drugged at the office.

When she woke up, she was surprised to find herself in her best friend's house.

Coupled with the presence of this mysterious woman, she had a strong urge to unravel everything.

She felt as if a pair of eyes were watching her, and help would always be extended when she needed it most.

Unfortunately, Zhang Zixi did not answer any of Qiu Mucheng's questions.

On the contrary, she strode forward while pulling Meng Chuan.

When she arrived at the door, she paused and muttered, "There's no need for you to leave this place. Henceforth, no one in Jiangbei will ever hurt you nor are they able to do that anyway. As long as you don't stir up any trouble here, Jiangbei will be a safe place for you."

Though she spoke softly, every word could be clearly heard.

"Who are you kidding? I know you have outstanding skills, but you've pissed the Meng family off today. They are the most prominent and wealthiest family in Jiangbei, the local tycoon in Livingsfill! "Moreover, you've beaten their heir to a pulp. I don't think they will ever let this slide. You're going to have endless troubles from now on. What do you have to give Ms. Qiu any guarantee?"

Shen Fei and the rest were all taken aback by Zhang Zixi's alarming display of power.

However, they had witnessed the same prowess when Ye Fan fought against ten of his enemies.

Thus, they did not have the assurance that Zhang Zixi could tackle the Mengs.

After all, the power of the Meng family in Jiangbei could not be underestimated.

No one knew if they had any equivalent fighters with them.

Once the Meng family found out about the incident, they would surely make a move to avenge their eldest son.

By then, Zhang Zixi could barely able to save herself, let alone care about Qiu Mucheng's plight.

"Ms. Qiu, it's better you leave Jiangbei for the sake of your safety. Maybe you should return to Jiangdong. No, wait... it's not safe in Jiangdong either since there's a drastic change. Mr. Li has washed his hands off all matters in Jiangdong while the governor and General Lu have been transferred out of Jiangdong. Everyone would be wary of you if you were to return.

Who knows if Jiangdong is more dangerous than Jiangbei! Whatever it is, leave Jiangbei at once. We can discuss later where to go next."

Panic-stricken, Shen Fei wanted to send Qiu Mucheng off.

However, Zhang Zixi said again coldly, "Don't worry. The Meng family won't dare to trifle with you."

Then, she tossed her phone at Meng Chuan who was at her feet. "Call yourfather now if you don't want to enter the gates of h*ll yet. Tell them that you're in my hands."

Hearing so, Shen Fei felt a cold chill down his spine.

"Huh? Are you out of your mind? Are you trying to make things worse?" Chu Wenfei was terrified to the core.

Why is this woman so eager to alert the Mengs when we should all be sweeping it under the carpet?

Regardless, Meng Chuan held the phone tightly as if that was his last straw of hope and called for help.

"Help! Dad, I'm Chuan. Hurry up and save me! I'm at the south of Lake Literton. A madwoman wants to kill me. Quick, Dad, come save me now! Remember to bring along more people..." Meng Chuan shouted over the phone.

Soon, Zhang Zixi ended the call and shoved Meng Chuan into the car.

"Wait for me, Ms. Zhang. Let us tag along."

Shen Fei and the gang assumed that Zhang Zixi was going to run away after causing chaos. So, they chased after her and pleaded to enter the car too.

In this situation, it's safer to follow this woman, and let her escort us to the train station or the airport.

Seeing how frantic Chu Wenfei and Shen Fei reacted, Zhang Zixi gave them a laconic reply. "I'm going to the Meng residence."

"Huh? What? Why are you heading there?" Chu Wenfei asked with his eyes wide open.

"I want to warn the Mengs to stay away from Qiu Mucheng," Zhang Zixi answered.

The two men burst out laughing. "Are you serious, Ms. Zhang? This is a joke, right? You're taking this a bit too far. What makes you think that they will listen to you? Are you their ancestors?"

Zhang Zixi replied in a stern tone, "If they refuse, I'll strike them until they listen. I might consider wiping the entire household out too."

"You want to do this all alone?" Shen Fei stared at her in disbelief as if he was looking at a ghost.

"I can destroy the Meng family all alone. Anyhow, I don't mind bringing a couple of you along to clear the corpse."

Zhang Zixi remained stoic as she made the bold statement.

Right then, Chu Wenfei and Shen Fei exchanged a quick glance and got off the car immediately.

They were petrified by her statement.

A few seconds later, Zhang Zixi sped off, leaving the two guys behind.

Everyone was stunned for a long while before a series of cusses broke the silence.

"Darn it, that crazy woman!"

"She's gone nuts. F*ck! She wants us to clean up the mess for her? I would if it's her body we're chucking away."
