A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)
Chapter 1880

Naturally, Ye Fan had a bad feeling after hearing Mrs. Wang's words.

He quickly ran forward to grab hold of her and asked anxiously, "What's going on, Mrs. Wang? What happened to Mdm. Yue and Mr. Hu? Also, where's Tangtang? What on earth happened here?" Could it be that their enemies have come seeking revenge? But Mr. Hu and his family are just ordinary people living an honest life! What sort of enemies could they possibly have?

Ye Fan began to panic at the thought of that.

Sighing, the older woman replied, "Honestly, I don't know what else to say about you. Mr. Hu and his happy family have sacrificed themselves in order to protect you! You should leave now. Don't let their sacrifice be in vain."

Although Mrs. Wang didn't say much, there was a hint of hatred toward Ye Fan in her tone.

It was obvious that the residents believed that Ye Fan was the reason behind the tragic fate that had befallen Hu Yipeng and his family.

Ye Fan's face turned pale instantly. "Are you saying something happened to Mr. Hu and his family?"

It seemed that the one thing he dreaded the most had happened.

Not wanting to waste another second, Ye Fan started running toward Hu Yipeng's house like a madman.

"Hey! What are you doing? Why would you go there? Are you trying to get yourself killed? Do you want Mr. Hu and his family's sacrifice to be in vain?" Mrs. Wang shouted angrily at Ye Fan when she saw him heading toward their house instead of running away.

However, Ye Fan was so worried and confused that he didn't hear her at all.

Something has definitely happened to Mr. Hu and his family, but who could've done it? Who would possibly go after them? The Zhang family? That doesn't seem very likely. Zhang Zixi may have followed me all the way to Mr. Hu's house, but he had already given the Zhang family a stern warning! Could it be that the Zhang family decided to go after them while I was recovering from my injuries in order to get at me? No, that doesn't make much sense either. The Zhang family must also know about my reputation if they know my identity. Unless they've got a death wish, they

would never do something stupid like this. But, who else could it be if not the Zhang family?

"Don't tell me it's..."

While still lost in thought, Ye Fan had arrived at the place where he and Junie used to stay, but the courtyard was no longer there.

The beautiful house that Hu Yipeng and his family of three occupied was gone.

All that remained in its place was a pile of ashes, rubble, and scorched earth.

Ye Fan froze as he stood there and stared at the ruins in complete shock and disbelief.

Are Tangtang and the others beneath the rubble?

The thought was so scary that Ye Fan couldn't bring himself to think any further.

Right as he was drowning in sadness and despair, a weak voice could be heard from behind. "Y-Ye Fan..."

"Tangtang! That's Tangtang's voice!"

Overjoyed, Ye Fan quickly spun around.

However, what greeted him was the sight of three figures hanging from the branches of a huge tree.

The trunk had been stained red by their blood, and the three figures were none other than Hu Yipeng and his family members.

Yue Yingchun had already passed out and was barely breathing at that point.

Hu Yipeng, on the other hand, was still somewhat conscious.

Upon noticing Ye Fan standing there, his lips trembled as he mumbled something very weakly.

Ye Fan leaned in closer toward him and strained his ears just to hear what he was saying.

"Leave..."

Hu Yipeng was asking him to leave, but Ye Fan couldn't possibly bring himself to leave them like that. With a wave of his arm, Ye Fan unleashed a short burst of Qi to cut all three of them free from the tree. "T-The bad guys asked where you were, Ye Fan... B-

But I didn't tell them..." Tangtang mumbled weakly as she lay in Ye Fan's arms.

Her body was covered in blood, and her breathing was so weak that it felt like it would stop at any moment. Despite being in great pain from all her wounds, she still forced a smile on her face when she saw Ye Fan. Nonetheless, that doesn't hide the fact that there were two lines of tears trickling down her big, doelike eyes. "I know. You did a great job, Tangtang."

Ye Fan's eyes reddened as well as he wiped the tears off her face.

"Ye Fan... A-Am I about to die?" she asked.

"No, Tangtang. Neither you nor your parents are going to die. I'll definitely save you all."

Ye Fan's voice trembled slightly as he tried his best to comfort her.

It really pained him to see them like this.

Who the hell did this? Who could possibly be so cruel as to hurt a weak little girl like her?

Ye Fan's train of thoughts was interrupted when a strong gust of icy-cold wind started blowing all of a sudden.

Seconds later, a few figures came into view.

They were all armed to the teeth and had cold looks in their eyes as they glared at Ye Fan.

The man leading the group had a sinister smile on his face as he stood behind Ye Fan and said, "So, you're finally here. My boss was right about you. He knew you'd come back to save them and end up delivering yourself to us. We already have you surrounded, so I suggest you not make any pointless struggles. Don't try anything funny or we'll pump you full of lead!"

Thinking he had already won, the man spoke with an insane amount of confidence and arrogance.

Still holding Tangtang in his arms, Ye Fan asked without even turning around, "Are you guys working for Meng Chuan of the Meng family?"

"Heh... Not bad! It's good that you know who you crossed. Not only did you humiliate Mr. Meng at the auction, but you even stole the miracle drug. You see, Mr. Meng has been too busy with other affairs to deal with you. Now that everything has been taken care of, it's time to settle the score with you!" the man replied with an evil chuckle.

Ye Fan simply ignored his statement and asked, "Why?"

"What do you mean 'why?' What on earth are you going on about? You'd better get on your knees right now before I hurt you!" the man threatened.

"Why hurt them like this? They didn't do anything to you guys. They're just an ordinary family living a peaceful life here. In fact, Mr. Hu is struggling really hard to look after his young daughter with his disability. This family has suffered enough as it is, so why would you guys do this to them? Why couldn't you guys just leave them alone?"

Ye Fan's voice sounded so monotone and soft that it was impossible to read his emotion.

Little did they know, hidden beneath that calmness of his was a boiling, murderous rage that was on the verge of being unleashed.

He truly regretted coming to Jiangbei, coming to

Livingsfill, and renting a place in Yue Yingchun's house.

I shouldn't have come here... They'd probably still be living a happy and safe life instead of getting caught up in this mess if it weren't forme... "Hahaha! Are you an idiot or what? Why are you still taking pity on others when your own life is at stake? You should worry about yourself instead!" While the man was still laughing, Ye Fan slowly stood up with Tangtang still in his arms.

The calm look on his face had been replaced by an icy-cold and vicious expression dripping with murderous intent.

"Back then, I annihilated the Lu Clan and painted both Westlake and Jiangbei red. The people of Jiangbei and the martial arts world of China hated me so much that they drove me to the point of despair, and no one helped me because of how powerful China is. I wasn't planning on killing anymore now that I have finally returned to Jiangbei once again, but you guys just had to force my hand. Well, whatever... So what if Jiangbei and the martial arts world of China hate me? Even if the entire world sees me as a monster, I'm still going to kill you b*stards because you asked for it!"
