A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)
Chapter 1873

Astonished, Chu Wenfei and the others regarded Zhang Zixi's action as maniacal.

They had been living in Jiangbei for many years and knew that the status of the Meng family was not to be challenged. The family reigned in Jiangdong, just like Mufan Group in the past.

Although Chu Wenfei could not grasp how powerful the Mengs was, he was well aware of what Mufan Group could do.

Both Shen Fei and Han Shaojie strongly believed that someone as incredible as Ye Fan must have existed in the Meng family. Otherwise, they would not have become the richest in Jiangbei. Without the protection of a great fighter, the Mengs would not have attained everything they had today.

Therefore, Chu Wenfei and the gang found Zhang Zixi's plan unbelievable. It reminded them of the incident when Chen Ao appeared at Mufan Group, declaring to take Ye Fan and his family down. Zhang Zixi must be delusional to think that she could succeed.

"Don't bother about her, Ms. Qiu. Let us get you out of here. You're the only woman that Ye Fan has ever loved. Though he's no longer here with us, we vow to protect you as his fellow comrades," urged Shen Fei.

He had no time to worry about Zhang Zixi.

Meanwhile, at the Meng family manor, Meng Wanjun was infuriated when he found out that his son was in danger.

In an instant, he called upon all senior members of the family for an emergency meeting.

After a detailed discussion, they decided to send someone to rescue Meng Chuan.

Upon Meng Wanjun's command, everyone started taking action simultaneously.

Cars after cars were seen traveling from all of Meng's properties across Livingsfill and into the manor.

Within a short period of time, hundreds of people had gathered around the residence.

The passers-by outside of the manor could sense the tension in the air as though a fight was going to break out soon. Subconsciously, they quickened their steps and stayed away, not wanting to be dragged into the

mess.

"Mr. Meng, all of the Meng family members in Livingsfill are here now. They are all on standby outside, waiting for your instructions. Please give us your orders," a subordinate reported.

Wearing a menacing look on his face, Meng Wanjun exclaimed, "Great, follow me to rescue my son later! I want to see who dares to challenge the Meng family and kidnap my son in my territory. Seems like we've been staying low profile for too long. That's why no one reveres us anymore. Today, I shall restore the glory of the Mengs and send a strong message to those insignificant pests that there's only one family who reigns over the skies of Jiangbei-the Meng family!"

Meng Wanjun exuded an oppressive and domineering aura amid sheer coldness in his tone.

No father could stay calm when they see their child's life being threatened.

"Wanjun, something seems to be amiss. When Chuan left this morning, he brought quite a number of people with him. If he could be abducted underthe noses of all his subordinates, it goes to show that our opponent this time isn't any Tom, Dick, or Henry.

Shall we approach this in a diplomatic manner and check the other party's intention first? Resorting to brute force might not play to our advantage," a senior standing at the back of the hall expressed his

concerns.

"My dear great uncle, you're being too cautious here. It's them who raised a ruckus, we're merely responding to their call. How can we be diplomatic when our rival has already crossed the line?" "Had this news gone viral, we'd be mocked as a laughingstock."

"How then will we be able to keep our heads up and rule over Jiangbei in the future?"

Before Meng Wanjun had a chance to say something, a few from the younger generations within the family chimed in and refuted the senior angrily.

"That's right."

"The audacity of them to kidnap the eldest son of the Meng family is intolerable!"

"We must make them pay the price for this."

A few others roared.

"But the opposite party's capability is..." The senior was fretful and apprehensive about the whole situation.

Meng Wanjun said, "I know where you're coming from. You're worried that the person is a martial artist, right? Even so, we Mengs are fearless. I've recruited several strong fighters these few years. It's a perfect time for them to show us what they've got. Anyhow, I do have a plan B if we lose."

Considering how resolute Meng Wanjun was, the senior sighed, knowing that there was no way he could convince the group.

Soon, Meng Wanjun exited the hall to address the crowd of subordinates. "Peeps, someone has abducted my son and challenged the power of the Mengs. What should I do?"

"Kill them!" one man yelled.

"Kill them!" another one bellowed.

In the end, the hundreds at the manor chanted in unison.

They deafening roars shook the earth.

It was obvious that the group summoned by Meng Wanjun was no ordinary men.

They were the ones he had depended on to run the entertainment centers.

It was hard to find someone who could match their frightening zeal and ruthlessness.

In their midst, there were also martial artists who had stained their hands with blood resulting from murdering others.

As Meng Wanjun continued adding fuel to the flames, the group of men got all hyped up into a frenzy.

The Meng family members could sense the raging fury of the head of the family.

As a father, he had developed a strong murderous intent upon discovering the abduction of his son.

"Very good! I shall depend on all of you to defend the honor ofthe Meng family. Undoubtedly, I'll also be with you each step ofthe way. I, Meng Wanjun, shall work with everyone as we head over to Lake Literton, Livingsfill to capture the culprit."

The thundering voices resonated through the hall, and Meng Wanjun's gaze turned even colder.

Then, he waved his arm to initiate the attack.

"Listen up, men, and follow my lead!"

Boom!

Right when Meng Wanjun's authoritative voice was ringing out at all corners of the manor, a loud explosion was heard.

Subsequently, all of them felt a tremor followed by an incessant bellow, seemingly from a beast. The raucous got increasingly louder as it came closer and closer to the manor.

What greeted everyone next was a shocking scene! A black SUV sped in, smashing down the stainless steel gate as well as numerous plants and trees along the way.

In the end, it halted abruptly at the sound of its tires screeching and engines revving.

As the car door was flung open, a sullen woman got out of it.

She tossed a bloody figure on the floor with a loud thud, causing the crowd to disperse at that instant.

Moments later, they heard someone shrieking in pain. It finally registered in the minds of the Meng family that the man thrown on the floor was actually Meng Chuan. "There's no need for you to head out. I'm here," said Zhang Zixi contemptuously.

A dead silence ensured.

Terrified, Meng Wanjun and the others gazed at each other.

They did not expect their enemy to show up so quickly, way before they could even leave the manor.

What's this all about? Is she turning herself in?

After trembling for a long while, Meng Wanjun glared at the intruder and yelled, "Who... Who are you? Why are you targeting the Mengs?"

Zhang Zixi lifted her eyes and queried, "Mr. Meng, don't you remember me? I'm Zhang Zixi. I come here today under the orders of my grandpa, Zhang Jiuling, to warn the Meng family not to lay a finger on Qiu Mucheng henceforth. Otherwise, the entire Meng

family will share the same ending as the Lu Clan."

"Nonsense. You're going overboard!" Meng Wanjun felt that the dignity of his family was at stake.

To share the same ending as what has befallen the Lu Clan? That means to wipe us all out completely!

Her words enraged all the seniors in the family.

"Who on earth is this brat? How can she be so audacious to threaten the Meng family?"

"How insolent! This is ridiculous!"

"Wanjun, what are you waiting for? Go ahead and instruct..."

All the seniors started grumbling, and none hesitated to comment further.

Right then, Zhang Zixi made a turn and launched a powerful move with a strike of her palm.

A stupendous force gathered around her. All of a sudden, her palm developed into a massive one covering the skies.

Her boundless energy cultivated from all directions, sweeping all of Mengs' subordinates like a whirlwind as if she was reaping a harvest.

A while later, everything stopped.

A hall that was initially filled with impressive fighters now saw hundreds of men knocked to the ground, moaning in pain.

"Mr. Meng, is the family going to heed my grandpa's command?"

Retracting all of her energy, Zhang Zixi exuded her usual calm and regal aura.

Scanning across the hall at all the terror-stricken cowards, she smirked.

That was the very first time Zhang Zixi smiled to outsiders, and she looked very attractive.
