A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)
Chapter 335 The Shocked Crowd

Lei Aoting was the youngest of three in the Lei family. He had two elder sisters and was known throughout Jingzhou as 'Young Master Ting'.

But he was nothing in front of Mr Chu!

Even his father, Lei San, and the rest of his family were nothing in front of Ye Fan!

But now he had stupidly provoked Ye Fan again. Of course Lei Aoting was terrified.

He was already losing his mind as he hid in the car earlier.

Hadn't he heard Zhou Sheng ask him to come out?

Of course he did! Lei Aoting wasn't deaf, so he could hear Zhou Sheng and his men clearly!

But he didn't dare to get out of the car at all.

Lei Aoting was going to pee his pants soon. His entire mind went blank and he didn't know what to do.

He was so scared that he thought of calling his father for help. He was afraid that he would end up like Wu He-Rong and get beaten to death by Mr Chu.

Lei Aoting was also present at that fight in Mount Tai Hall.

The tragic way Wu He-Rong had died was still deeply etched in Lei Aoting's mind.

The last time in Jianghai, he had provoked Ye Fan because of Mo Wen-Xuan. So this was the second time he was offending Ye Fan. It wasn't hard to tell how terrified Lei Aoting was feeling now.

And that's why Lei Aoting didn't dare to get out of the car and tried to drive the Land Rover away immediately.

But heaven wasn't on his side. The car had barely made it a few meters out and it crashed into a tree.

Lei Aoting knew that he couldn't wriggle out of this one now, so he decided to face the music.

"Mr Chu, please spare me! I...I really didn't know it was you!"

Lei Aoting continued to kneel by the roadside and plead with Ye Fan under the streetlamps. Tears and mucus streamed down his face and he looked so pitiful.

The entire place was deathly quiet.

There were nearly 100 people here.

But even though many were present, nobody said anything.

The entire place was completely silent. One could even hear a pin drop.

Zhou Sheng was even more flabbergasted when he saw Lei Aoting fall to his knees.

He looked at Lei Aoting with disbelief and stood there like he had been struck by lightning.

He felt as though Ye Fan had slapped him hard across the face.

Zhou Sheng never imagined that his greatest backer and his most reliable pillar of support in Jingzhou would kneel without hesitation before Ye Fan.

In that moment, Zhou Sheng finally understood why Ye Fan was so fearless in the face of so many men surrounding him.

He knew why Ye Fan remained calm even though he was supposedly in great danger.

He understood why Ye Fan dared to speak so boastfully even though he was facing so many men all by himself.

So this was what he was relying on!

If Ye Fan could make even Young Master Ting kneel down and beg for mercy, then Ye Fan truly didn't need to fear anybody.

Zhou Sheng wasn't the only one stunned into silence. Lu Ming-Ze was equally stunned.

"This...what on earth is going? What is happening?! How...how could the prince of Jingzhou kneel before that country bumpkin? How could this be?!"

Lu Ming-Ze still found it difficult to accept what was happening before his very eyes.

He stared at this scene and continued to gasp in horror. When he saw Lei Aoting kneel and beg Ye Fan for mercy, huge waves started crashing within Lu Ming-Ze's heart.

He couldn't figure it out. How could the prince of Jingzhou, the biological son of Lei San, the eldest son of the Lei family in Jingzhou, the great Lei Aoting with a powerful background, kneel down before this unknown country bumpkin and beg for mercy?

Wasn't Ye Fan just a country bumpkin who was born into a poor family?

Wasn't Ye Fan just a useless bum who married and lived off his wife's family?

So how could he possibly make Lei Aoting kneel down like this before him?

Could Ye Fan be hiding an immensely powerful identity behind his ordinary and seemingly useless fagade?

Lu Ming-Ze pupils narrowed even more violently and his eyes were even wider than before now.

If this was truly the case, then how powerful was Ye Fan really?

Lu Ming-Ze immediately started to regret it.

He shouldn't have abandoned Ye Fan and he should have listened to his daughter.

"Mr Chu, please spare me! I know I was wrong! I deserve to die! I shouldn't have been brainwashed by this evil man and I should have offended you!" Lei Acting's miserable voice continued to wail as he knelt by the roadside.

Ye Fan looked down coldly at him.

"Lei Aoting, right? Lei San's son? After what happened in Jianghai, this is the second time, right?"

After a long period of silence, Ye Fan's emotionless voice rang out in the quiet night.

When Lei Acting heard Ye Fan's icy voice, he shuddered and lost all courage.

He could tell from Ye Fan's tone that Ye Fan was really angry.

Lei Aoting instantly became even more panicky and started to kowtow profusely as he started pleading once more, "Mr Chu, I really didn't mean to offend you!"

"It's all his fault! That asshole, Zhou Sheng! He's the one who got me into trouble! He wanted to kill you and wanted to get someone to deal with you! It has nothing to do with me! I was tricked into coming here and I didn't know it was you at all! Otherwise, I wouldn't have brought men here to block your way even if you increased my courage by a thousand times!"

Lei Aoting was already at his wits end as he continued to plead on his knees.

He was so frightened and pathetic looking, he didn't look anything like that almighty Young Master Ting of Jingzhou anymore.

He was like a timid dog now.

Ye Fan's expression didn't flinch as Lei Aoting continued to cry and beg for mercy. He threw a phone at Lei Aoting and said, "If you still want to live, call your father and tell Lei San to pick you up."

What?!"

Lei Aoting's face was drained of color when he heard this.

He started bawling, "Nooooo Mr Chu, please don't do this to me!"

"I'm begging you! Please don't tell my father! He will kill me! Please! Please don't tell him! He will beat me to death!!!"

Lei Aoting couldn't stop cry and pleading. He felt as though his soul had left him when Ye Fan told him to call his father.

Lei San had told Lei Aoting to visit Mr Chu in Yunzhou and butter up to Mr Chu!

If his father found out that he didn't get any closer to Mr Chu and even tried to attack Mr Chu, Lei Acting couldn't imagine how violent his father would become.

His father would probably beat him to death!

But Ye Fan ignored Lei Acting's pleas and there was no emotion in his deep eyes at all.

It didn't matter whether Lei Aoting had done this on purpose or not. But since he was guilty of doing this, he had to pay the price!

Zhou Sheng had to suffer the consequences and Lei Aoting had to pay the price too!

After throwing the phone at Lei Aoting, Ye Fan slowly turned and his icy eyes scanned his surroundings. They eventually slowly landed on the petrified Zhou Sheng who was already frightened to bits. Zhou Sheng immediately shuddered and his entire body trembled when he felt Ye Fan's eyes on him.

His face was drained of all color in an instant.

Zhou Sheng finally couldn't endure the terrible fear in his heart and he also fell to his knees with a thud like Lei Acting.

"M-M aster! Please, spare my life!!"

Zhou Sheng's trembling body shuddered violently as he pleaded with Ye Fan miserably with a heart filled with terror.
