A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)
Chapter 338 What...What Did You Say?

"Master...Master Ye, you're just kidding right? You're just teasing me, right?"

Han Dong-Min's face was deathly white as he looked at Ye Fan with an awkward smile on his face. His voice was filled with such terror. He was about to cry soon.

He couldn't imagine what consequences awaited him if this man was really the heir to the Lei family.

Ye Fan laughed quietly and patted Han Dong-Min on the shoulder. "Mayor Han, I know you're hoping that I'd say I was just kidding."

"But I'm sorry, this isn't a joke. This gentleman here is really Lei Ao-Ting, the son of Lei San and the heir to the Lei family."

"But...this..."

Han Dong-Min went green in the face and his entire body was shaking. He stumbled and if his assistant didn't immediately hold onto him, he would have fallen to the ground.

Han Dong-Min was in shock. He turned and looked at the man he just kicked and his face twitched uncontrollably.

Oh my god!

What did he just do?!

He actually kicked the heir of the Lei family?!

He was fucked.

Han Dong-Min was on the verge of tears.

Now he understood why Ye Fan said that his kick was pretty amazing.

That kick of his wasn't doing damage to Lei Ao-Ting. It was a slap in the face to Lei San and the Lei family of Jingzhou.

The Lei family was a well-respected family in Jingzhou!

Before Han Dong-Min went into politics, he

had already heard all about the Lei family.

When he was transferred to Jiangdong, he even paid the Lei house a visit before taking up the position and visited the head of the Lei family then.

It was hard to even imagine the sort of power and influence this family had!

On top of that, the Lei family had been based in Jingzhou for many years with many family members everywhere. Many of them were elites in various industries, and they also had family members on Jianghai's side.

That was how powerful the Lei family was!

So after Han Dong-Min found out that this young man in front of him was the heir to the Lei family, he nearly went crazy. He quickly ran over and apologized to Lei Ao-Ting while trying to help him up. But Lei Ao-Ting adamantly refused to get up.

If Ye Fan didn't say the word, he didn't dare to move.

Of course he didn't dare to move.

He continued to beg Ye Fan for mercy and begged Ye Fan to forgive him.

Ye Fan gave him the same reply, "I told you I can let you off, but Lei San must come here personally."

"I told you to call him. Have you called him yet? If you don't want to call him, I'll help you call him!"

"Please don't do this to me, Mr Chu," Lei Ao-Ting immediately burst into tears. But since Ye Fan was insistent and there was clearly no room for negotiation, Lei Ao-Ting had no choice but to gather courage and call his father.

Jingzhou.

In the Lei residence.

Lei San had just come back from overseas and all the members of the family had come forward to welcome him home.

His wife had even prepared a huge spread to welcome her husband back.

Lei San was the head of the Lei family now, so he had absolute power and sway in the family.

And that was why all the elders of the family had come over just as he reached home.

"San, how's the Jiangdong West issue coming along? Is everything going smoothly?" asked Lei San's younger brother with concern.

Lei San nodded. "Everything is going well. If nothing goes wrong, our family will take one third of what Zhao Wu-Ji had while he was alive. As for the other two thirds, one portion will go to Chen Ao, and the other portion will be under Li Er from Yunzhou. There are also a few scattered companies which will be given to Wang Jie-Xi of Haozhou."

"What? So that means Li Er got one third too? Why did he get so much?" Many of the elders were shocked when they heard what Lei San said.

Before this whole thing happened, the Chen family of Jianghai, the Lei family of Jingzhou and the Wang family of Haozhou were the three most powerful families in Jiangdong.

As for Li Er, he only appeared later and he didn't have much to fall back on. Among all the various powers in the cities of Jiangdong, he would only be considered second tier at best, and he was usually unable to speak to anyone from the other families because he wasn't fit to.

But now, Li Er had actually gotten one third of Zhao Wu-Ji's assets, and that was the same amount as what the Lei family got. Many in the Lei family were upset by this.

But Lei San shook his head. "Times have changed. There's a dragon in Yunzhou now, so Li Er gets first dibs since he's the closest to the dragon."

"If we hadn't joined hands with Chen Ao to beg Mr Chu for mercy, then we might not even get this one third. You must know that after that battle at Mount Tai Hall, Mr Chu initially wanted Li Er to take over all of Zhao Wu-Ji's assets and then Chen Ao and I would just be assisting him. This one third took much negotiation from myself and Chen Ao, so don't be so discontent."

"From now on, Jiangdong will have one supreme power and three strong powers. Mr Chu will be the leader, then it would be split between ourselves, the Chen family and the Li family. As for Wang Jie-Xi in Haozhou, he's too far from Mr Chu and Mr Chu doesn't know him well, so he won't get much. In the future, the Wang family is probably going to drop to second tier," said Lei San in a low voice. There was much sighing in his voice.

As the saying goes, once someone finds the road to success, even a chicken and a dog can become deities.

Someone as incredible as Mr Chu had appeared in Yunzhou, so Li Er had gotten lucky. He was now using Mr Chu to pave his way to success and now he was at the same level as the Lei family.

"If only Mr Chu was from Jingzhou! Then the Lei family would definitely become more powerful and more reputable. We would be second only to Mr Chu and lord it over everyone else," commented several family members with a sigh. They were so envious of Li Er's good fortune.

"Alright now, let's not talk about this. San has come back from a good trip tonight, so let's give a toast to him!"

"Under San's leadership, the Lei family will continue to do better and better!"

"All our descendants will rise like dragons and phoenixes!"

"All our businesses will continue to run and prosper greatly!"

In no time, everyone at the table were raising their glasses and filled the house with much laughter and cheer.

Just at this moment, Lei San's phone started ringing.

At first Lei San didn't pay it any attention.

But the phone couldn't stop ringing.

Lei San frowned and pulled his phone out.

"San, is there a problem?"

"No, it's a call from Ao-Ting," replied Lei San.

"Oho, why don't you pick it up since your son is calling? He's probably calling to congratulate you on a good trip too."

"Ao-Ting is getting more and more mature and he's beginning to look like how you were back then. Now he can represent the Lei family in Yunzhou by himself to discuss business with the Li family and even pay Mr Chu a visit."

"I think, in just a few years' time, Ao-Ting will be able to hold up most of our businesses. When that happens, we uncles can sit back and relax."

"НАНАНА!"

The various members of the Lei family laughed merrily and they were all praising

Lei Ao-Ting.

Lei San also had a comforted smile on his face as he listened to these words.

All fathers wanted their children to be successful.

So it was only natural for Lei San to feel happy that others were complimenting his son.

He then picked up the call and laughed as he asked, "Ao-Ting, it's so late. Is anything the matter?"

But the smile on Lei San's face didn't last long. After three seconds, Lei San got up from his seat with a start and his expression was grim as he started shouting angrily in a low voice. "What...what did you say?!" "You little bastard, say that...say that again?!"
