A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)
Chapter 405 Your Son Is Better

"Congratulations? I don't think that's necessary. Mayor Wu, Mufan Real Estate can't afford to accept your congratulatory words."

"Just a few minutes ago, your son insisted that Mufan Real Estate was operating illegally, accused us of evading taxes and that our fire safety measures are not up to standard. They're here to seal off Mufan Real Estate and are about to take my wife back to the station for questioning."

"We're a company on the verge of collapsing, a company that has apparently broken the law, and a company that has been falsely accused all over the place. Do you think we dare to accept your congratulatory words?"

Ye Fan just shook his head and laughed as he held his teacup.

His cold laughter was filled with sarcasm and displeasure.

On top of that, Ye Fan spoke without even looking at Wu Wei-Tao. He continued to sit at his table and quietly enjoyed the strong tea in his cup.

When Han Li and Qiu Lei saw how Ye Fan was behaving so arrogantly and rudely, they went crazy from their fright.

Han Li's face paled and she immediately started yelling at Ye Fan.

"You useless bum! Ye Fan, are you nuts?

How dare you speak to Mayor Wu like that?! Are you trying to get all of us into trouble?!"

Immediately after Han Li said these words, Lei Ao-Ting slapped her onto the floor again.

"You idiot! How dare you even speak! If you weren't Miss Qiu's mother, these words alone could cost you your life!"

Lei Ao-Ting wasn't trying to scare her.

He had seen how Wu He-Rong swept through 18 major cities of Jiangdong, but Mr Chu just needed one move at Mount Tai to bring him down.

He killed Wu He-Rong like the man was merely a chicken!

After that, Mr Chu unified Jiangdong and Chen Ao and other big shots all looked up to him as their leader.

Han Li was a weak and untrained woman, but she repeatedly offended Mr Chu. If she were anybody else, someone like Li Er would have killed off this blind and noisy woman before Mr Chu did anything. But she was Qiu Mu-Cheng's mother and Mr Chu's mother-in-law.

Lei Ao-Ting and the rest wouldn't dare to kill Han Li.

He had slapped her because he really couldn't stand how this mother-in-law was bullying Mr Chu and insulting him time and again. Lei Ao-Ting couldn't take it anymore and decided to slap her. He didn't dare to do anything more severe than this.

If Qiu Mu-Cheng ended up finding fault with him for slapping her mother, Lei Ao-Ting was sure that Mr Chu would stand on his wife's side and punish him for doing this.

So even though Lei Ao-Ting really couldn't stand Mr Chu's in-laws, he didn't dare to go too far.

But that slap had shocked Han Li sufficiently.

She remained on the floor without daring to move, because she was afraid that Lei Ao-Ting might really kill her the next time she moved.

Nobody cared about how Han Li had been slapped.

A stupid woman like her was just a character who couldn't weigh any situation properly.

If she wasn't the one who gave birth to Qiu Mu-Cheng, a clown like her wouldn't be qualified to stand here.

Ye Fan's cold and icy voice was still ringing in Wu Wei-Tao's ears.

His expression fell and he replied in surprise, "What?"

"Seal off Mufan Real Estate? Arrest your wife? Is this really happening?"

Ye Fan's words made Wu Wei-Tao's heart tremble and he looked a little panicky.

Wu Wei-Tao did know a thing or two about this young man here.

The last time Ye Fan was arrested by Ren Han, Chen Ao, Li Er and even someone from the provincial office came to bail him out.

Apparently this matter had gone all the way up to the capital.

Wu Wei-Tao was involved in this matter back then too, and he found out from there that this third tier city of Yunzhou that he was in charge of was actually hiding such a powerful man. So Wu Wei-Tao wanted to find a chance to get closer to Ye Fan since then.

Mufan Real Estate's opening ceremony was an excellent opportunity.

He wanted to take this chance to truly make friends with Ye Fan.

He had even taken out his ink and brush to write a couplet for the company personally.

But after all those plans, Wu Wei-Tao had left his rebellious son out of the picture.

The moment he heard that his own son had abused his power to pick on Mufan Real Estate, Wu Wei-Tao's expression darkened.

He turned to glare at Wu Yong and yelled angrily, "What is going on? Explain yourself now!"

"Dad, I..."

Wu Yong was clearly panicking. He started stammering when faced with his father's fury and authority, "I...I just heard from someone else that Mufan Real Estate is operating illegally, so I thought I'd get Uncle Wang to have a look. As your son, I also have the duty to maintain order in Yunzhou, so I...I was just trying to share your burden."

Wu Yong's words sounded good, but the way he spoke softly betrayed the guilt in his heart.

When Wu Wei-Tao heard these words, he angrily kicked his son.

He was really angry this time and kicked his son pretty hard.

Wu Yong got kicked out of the door and started crying from the pain. He remained sprawled on the ground and couldn't get up at all. Everyone was shocked to see this.

Qiu Mu-Ying and Chu Wen-Fei's faces turned as white as a sheet. His two best friends, Wang Tian and Nangong Ling, just stood where they were and trembled. They didn't even dare to fart.

"Share my burden? You're just adding to it! How dare you use my name to do illegal things! I have to clear the family of people like you! I'm going to kick you to death! You're ruining everything for me!" Wu Wei- Tao's angry voice was the only thing anybody could hear in the hall.

Wu Wei-Tao marched up to Wu Yong and started kicking him again and again.

"Dad...No...I'm sorry, I was wrong, I won't do it again! I was persuaded by someone else! Dad, I beg you, spare me! I was led astray by someone else! AHH!"

Wu Yong could only curl himself up and clutch his head to howl and cry as Wu Wei-Tao continued to kick him. He kept pleading for mercy and his tears and mucus were everywhere.

Wu Yong was whimpering like a dog and didn't have any of that arrogance and haughtiness he displayed earlier towards Li Xue-Qi and the rest.

"Mayor Wu, that's quite enough, don't hit him anymore. You'll kill him at this rate! He already knows his mistake."

Wang Dong-Lai and the rest pulled Wu Wei-Tao away from Wu Yong after seeing how bruised the boy was and there was even blood on his face.

"This little bastard! I've been living an upright life all my life, how did I end up with such a worthless son!"

Wu Wei-Tao's face was all red from being angry, and his body was shaking.

But Wu Wei-Tao eventually gave in and stopped hitting his son. He kept sighing because his heart was filled with such disappointment.

"Dong-Lai, your son is better than mine. He likes to study, read, improve himself and stays out of trouble. Compared to Wang Tian, my son is just a piece of shit!" spat Wu Wei-Tao angrily out of frustration as he gritted his teeth.

Even though Wang Dong-Lai was happy to hear others compliment his son, he pretended to be modest and waved his

hands about. "Oh no no, my son isn't that wonderful, but it's true that he doesn't get into trouble."
