A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)
Chapter 440 A Great Storm

Ye Fan said those words as if he was just joking.

But even he found it hard to imagine how the goddess of Yunzhou whose name along could shake up Jiangdong and the CEO of Hongqi Group whom Li Er treated as his greatest enemy, was now such a cute and shy young lady.

Li Er and the rest would never believe him if he told them about this scene.

Xu Lei blushed and smiled as she didn't say anything.

She just grumbled a little in her heart.

What sort of question was this? Back when she had eaten the apple that Ye Fan used his teeth to pare, she already had no image to speak of.

Come to think of it, Xu Lei started wondering if Ye Fan had purposely used such a method to take advantage of her back then.

"Alright now, Fan, let's not talk about this.

You're not really going to wait for them at Wolong Hotel tomorrow, right? The Xu and the Xue families are both powerful families in Yanjing. Even though the Xu family isn't as powerful as we used to be, my uncle, Xu Feng-Liang, has been operating in Yanjing for many years and he has clout on both sides of the law, as well as in both the government and corporate circles. You've injured his wife and made his father kneel, and we've only managed to get away today because my uncles weren't around."

"On top of that, you also injured Xue Ming-Hua. His elder brother, Xue Ming-Zhi, is the current head of the Xue family. The Xue family has grown from an unknown little family to become a bright star over the past few years, and they are now considered one of Yanjing's three new wealthy families with the Song and Zhao families, and they are comparable to the four influential families. So they're all potentially able to topple any of us. The Xue family has already accumulated more wealth and businesses than the Xu family. If the Xu family didn't have enough reserves, we'd have lost to the Xue family." "Fan, everybody you've offended today comes with an incredibly powerful background. So I think we'd better quickly return to Yunzhou now, don't clash with them anymore."

Xu Lei was filled with worry as she thought about what happened earlier in the hall.

She didn't want to tell Ye Fan about these things because she was afraid that he would get involved and thing would become beyond saving.

After all, Ye Fan had already left the Chu family and even if he was powerful in Jiangdong, that place was no match for a place like Yanjing.

Yanjing was the most powerful, so even if Ye Fan was the king of Jiangdong, powerful families like the Xu and Xue families wouldn't care for him at all.

But the thing she feared most still happened anyway.

Ye Fan had already moved in on the two families, and neither would let him off

easily for sure.

So the best thing to do right now was to hurry up and return to Jiangdong.

Even a strong dragon would think twice about attacking a snake in the snake's territory.

Given Ye Fan and Xu Lei's status and influence in Jiangdong, it would be difficult for the Xu and Xue families to attack them within Jiangdong.

But Ye Fan just shook his head and smiled gently as he comforted her, "Lei, don't worry, it'll be fine."

"Your Fan has grown up. Now I am able to make these so-called powerful families bow to me even without the help of the Chu family. Besides, I have other matters to settle in Yanjing. How could I return to Jiangdong without getting those things done?" Ye Fan spoke very calmly and nonchalantly.

It was as if all that happened earlier didn't worry him the slightest bit.

Since Ye Fan was already decided, Xu Lei decided not to persuade him anymore.

She knew Ye Fan's personality. Once he was decided, there was no point in trying to advise him otherwise.

The only thing she could do now was to stand firm behind Ye Fan to support him.

"Fan, even if you have to go through hellfire tomorrow, I'll be with you to face it together," said Xu Lei decidedly in her heart as she looked with determination at Ye Fan's hard lined profile. After that Xu Lei followed Ye Fan back to Wolong Hotel.

Xu Lei went back to her room to rest, while Ye Fan sat in the living room and drank tea while calling Han.

"Young Master, the tallest tree in the forest is the first one to be toppled. You've acted a little rashly today, and this is going to attract the attention of some people.

These people might prove to be a threat to you. You're going to be in a very dangerous position," came Han's low and worried voice over the phone.

Even though Ye Fan didn't tell him anything about what happened at the Xu house, Han clearly already found out about it.

They had been hatching a plan for the past ten years and had informants everywhere. Ye Fan had created such a huge commotion today, so of course Han found out.

But Ye Fan just shook his head and laughed as he took a sip of strong tea.

He just quietly replied, "Dangerous? If I was afraid of danger, I wouldn't come to Yanjing. I was just worried that those people wouldn't come looking for me. If I can draw them out this time, then it'll save me a lot of trouble. I'm waiting to make them pay for all those stab wounds on Tong Shan!"

HUUUU...

A cold wind blew in from the dark night sky outside the room.

It enveloped Ye Fan's icy words and howled in the room.

"Have you found out if those people who hurt Tong Shan have anything to do with the Xu family?" Ye Fan asked in a low voice after pausing for a moment.

"I haven't been able to find out yet. But I think the person we have in Yanjing should know better than we do. That person has already returned to Yanjing. When would you like to see him?" asked Han politely. Ye Fan thought about it. "I should do it as soon as possible. I don't want to stay here for too long, I need to go back and attend a class gathering with Mu-Cheng. I'll meet him tomorrow, tell him to contact me about the time and venue."

"Sure, I'll contact him now. Young Master, do you still remember the nickname of this person?" came Han's respectful voice again.

Ye Fan laughed quietly and replied, "Of course I know the nickname of the one and only person we planted in Yanjing." "Long-Yang, right?"

His faint voice rang out as an arrogant smile continued to cover Ye Fan's lips.

It was as if a high and mighty king was going to call one of his officials to see him in the royal court the next day.

Ye Fan then raised his cup and drank the tea down in one gulp.

There was a cold air current outside, causing the winds to rise and the clouds to billow.

The incident where someone made a scene at the Xu family's birthday banquet was beginning to fester within the city of Yanjing.
