A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)
Chapter 400 Everything Turned to Nothing

BAM!

But just when Lei Ao-Ting was pitifully apologizing to Ye Fan with a heart filled with terror.

There was a loud bam as someone kicked the door of Mufan Real Estate open.

More than ten uniformed civil servants came rushing into the building.

They were all expressionless and looked aggressive as they pushed aside the security guards and asked the guests in a stern voice, "Which one of you is the legal representative of this company, Qiu Mu- Cheng?"

"I...I am. What's the matter?"

This suddenly change of events shocked everyone present.

Qiu Mu-Cheng's face paled and she had a bad feeling in her heart.

"Good evening. I am from the Yunzhou police and we have received a tipoff that your company is operating illegally. Please show us your operating license and cooperate with the investigation," said a middle aged man with an authoritative expression on his angular face.

This man was the leader of this team, and his name was Wang Lin.

"Operating illegally? Did you make a mistake? Your team just checked not too long ago and you want to check again?" Qiu Mu-Cheng's assistant, Du Juan, immediately retorted angrily when she heard their reason for coming.

Wang Xing-Duo had used this reason to seal off Mufan Real Estate the last time too.

It hadn't been too long since that happened, and Du Juan was surprised that someone had reported them for the same crime.

"Who are these heartless bastards who keep trying to falsely accuse us? Isn't your team supposed to check if this is a false report before coming? We're holding our opening ceremony right now and you're making things difficult for our company by doing this," said Du Juan angrily.

Anybody who ran into such a problem during their opening ceremony would be angry and dismayed.

"The law does not care for such things. You should have seen this day coming from the moment you started operating illegally. Please cooperate with the investigation," said Wang Lin in a low voice.

His tone of voice did not allow for them to refuse him.

"Why, you..." Du Juan got even angrier now. This man hadn't even conducted an investigation yet but he sounded like the company was definitely guilty.

"Du Juan, go to my office and bring the operating license out to show the officers."

There was no point in fighting with the police, so Qiu Mu-Cheng just decided to settle this peacefully by getting Du Juan to bring out all the necessary documents. "This license is a genuine one?"

Wang Lin was clearly surprised that Mufan Real Estate actually had the necessary documentation.

According to the information he got, Mufan Real Estate should not have gotten the approval for this application.

"Officer Wang, I hope the misunderstanding is resolved? My company has always been operating in accordance with the law. In fact, we had to cease operations for several months just to get these documents processed. I really don't know who's trying to accuse us of doing such things, but I hope that you will be a fair and just person, and make sure that we are not falsely accused for nothing," said Qiu Mu-Cheng politely and firmly to Wang Lin.

Wang Lin's expression was quite complicated and he wasn't sure how to respond because this wasn't what he expected.

He excused himself to make a phone call.

"Young Master, there's a bit of a problem. Mufan Real Estate's paperwork is in order and they're not operating illegally."

What?

"How can that be? How could Wang Xing-Duo approve their application?" came a rather shocked female voice over the phone.

That voice belonged to Qiu Mu-Ying. She cut in when she heard Wu Yong and Wang Lin's conversation over the phone.

Wang Lin's expression immediately darkened. "Are you referring to Wang Xing-Duo who was in charge at the Industry and Commerce Bureau? He's stopped being the one in charge of real estate agencies with effect from about two weeks ago."

There was a short period of silence.

Wu Yong quietly said slowly, "Uncle Wang, the process is not important. All I want is the result. You should be able to

understand what I mean."

In no time, Wang Lin had hung up and had returned to Mufan Real Estate.

"Sirs, if there's nothing else, isn't it time you left? Your presence here is affecting the mood of our guests." Du Juan didn't talk very nicely to them because they always meant trouble.

But Wang Lin shook his head as he said quietly, "Miss Qiu, the report is not just about operating illegally, but there's also a tipoff that your company has evaded taxes, and your office building doesn't meet fire safety standards."

"In any case, we will need Miss Qiu to come with us. Don't worry, if we find that it's a false accusation after we've conducted our investigations, there will be no records on Miss Qiu. Take her away! Also, all management staff are to cooperate with our investigations!"

After Wang Lin gave orders, his subordinates came forward to hold onto Qiu Mu-Cheng and were about to handcuff her away. Other team mates also came forward to arrest the management staff of Mufan Real Estate.

It was certainly embarrassing for the CEO and her management staff to be arrested on their opening day.

Everyone in the office was filled with panic.

Many people watching outside were pointing fingers and murmuring among themselves.

Life was really unpredictable.

Just minutes ago, so many important people had come to congratulate Mufan Real Estate and they had enjoyed such great honor.

And now, the tables had suddenly turned.

The CEO was under arrest and all her management staff had to be taken away as well.

All this fame and glory could really turn to nothing overnight.

"What are we going to do? What do we do now? Mu-Cheng, what did you do? How did you end up running into something so unlucky on a happy day like this?" Han Li didn't care about the stinging pain on her cheek anymore and started to seriously panic.

The last time they were investigated, it was Wang Xing-Duo and his team from the bureau, so they didn't have the right to send Qiu Mu-Cheng to jail.

But these police officers here could.

If Qiu Mu-Cheng got arrested, then what were they going to do in the future?

The entire company was suddenly a mess, while Han Li and her husband were on the verge of tears from this situation.

Lei Ao-Ting and the rest with him didn't say anything because they were in Yunzhou and they did not have power here.

Besides, Mr Chu was here, so it wasn't up to them to do anything.

"Fan, aren't you going to save Mu-Cheng?" Chen Nan started to worry about Qiu Mu-Cheng's situation and turned to ask Ye Fan softly.

Ye Fan didn't say anything and sat there quietly watching and listening.

The mastermind behind this hadn't appeared yet.

So it was not time for him to do anything.

This time, Ye Fan was going to see who was trying to pick on Mufan Real Estate, and who was trying to pick on his wife.

Ye Fan quietly sipped his tea, but nobody noticed that Ye Fan's eyes were already as cold as eyes.

But when Han Li and Qiu Lei saw Ye Fan behaving this way, they were so angry that they wanted to kick him.

His wife was about to be taken away, and this useless bum was still in the mood to sip tea?!
