A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)
Chapter 453 Not Enough

Wei Lin's icy voice echoed through the hotel lobby.

His authoritative expression and sinister voice made him look like a ferocious man-eating tiger. He stood at the entrance and glared coldly at Ye Fan.

His terrifying stance made the temperature in the hotel immediately decrease.

All the guests had horrified looks on their faces and they felt as though they had all fallen into an ice cave.

Wei Lin's words were very harsh after all.

Kill Ye Fan and smite his family as well?

Everyone's hair stood on end as they felt nothing but terror in their hearts.

Li Xiao-Hong's face became even paler and was on the verge of crying from how worried she was.

She was still worried about Ye Fan.

Her eyes were teary as she gently tugged at her father's clothes and asked in a cracked whisper, "Daddy, is there no hope for Mr Chu?"

Li Lu-Bin was no longer angry with Ye Fan.

After all, there was no point in being angry with Ye Fan now that he was in this predicament. Li Lu-Bin even began to pity Ye Fan.

He sighed when he heard his daughter's question.

"I think it'll be hard for him to come out unscathed. But at least Old Master Wei didn't attack him immediately and is trying to negotiate this situation with him, so perhaps there's still hope for him. As long as he apologizes properly and humbles himself, then even if he has to take a good beating, at least he'd still be alive," replied Li Lu-Bin in a quiet voice.

Of course, he didn't tell his daughter that even if Ye Fan survived, he might be a cripple.

He had broken Xue Ming-Hua's legs, so Ye Fan's legs were probably doomed as well.

The entire lobby was silent as everyone was just watching quietly. Only Wei Lin's voice could be heard.

But after Wei Lin said these words, Xu Lei stood up and defended Ye Fan, "Grandpa Wei, you can't blame Fan for these things."

"My granduncle locked me up in my own house and forced me to marry a useless piece of trash. So Fan helped me to fight back. As for Xue Ming-Hua, he got his just desserts. He was the one who tried to use Fan's family members' lives to threaten him. If he hadn't done that, Fan wouldn't have broken his legs. As for Wei Wu-Ji, he tried to attack Fan first. He wasn't capable enough and got injured by Fan instead, so he got his just desserts too. How could you blame everything on Fan?"

Xu Lei tried to argue logically and spoke in a neutral tone. She didn't seem afraid of Wei Lin at all.

Miss Xu, before you start talking, please remember who you're supposed to be! If I were your grandfather, those words you said are enough to justify me breaking your legs! You've abandoned your family for a louse from a tiny city and you'd rather help someone outside the family? You'd rather go against your elders and go against your entire family instead?"

"You..." Xu Lei immediately became angry when she realized that Wei Lin wasn't going to listen to reason.

"Lei, why get angry with this old and useless fogey? These stubborn old men only care about reputation and profit, so they're not reasonable at all. Come over here and just have tea with me. As for all that talk about smiting my family and killing me here, don't believe any of it. Just one puny Wei family isn't enough to do something like that," said Ye Fan as he shook his head and laughed quietly.

After that, he ignored Wei Lin, and pulled Xu Lei back to his table. He poured a cup of tea for her and continued to enjoy sipping his own.

That fair face of his was filled with disregard for Wei Lin as well as contempt for the Wei family.

"You little punk! You're really bold! I built this family from scratch and used $10,000 to turn into $100 million. That's 10,000 times! Even the four influential families of Yanjing treat me as an honored guest! The financial world treats me as a god of the stock market! You're just a young fellow and you dare to look down on me and my family? Where do you get such confidence from?"

Wei Lin was furious that a younger person was looking down on him like this.

His words were prideful and his heart was cold.

His angry voice resounded loudly in the lobby like thunder.

But despite Wei Lin's anger, Ye Fan just sipped his tea and continued to shake his head and laugh. "You've said a lot, but so what? Never mind trying to harm me or exterminate my family - you're not even fit to carry my shoes! I've never had any regard for you and your family at all."

Ye Fan spoke very calmly, but there was an incredible dominance and authoritativeness in that voice.

"Ha, you're really boastful! If the Wei family isn't enough, then what about the Zhao family?"

Another group of men came in from outside the hotel.

The person leading the way was in a well-fitted suit and his steps carried great weight.

His stiff jawline carried a smile that was so cold and sinister.

"The Zhao family?"

"You mean the one that's one of the three up and coming families in Yanjing?"

"The Zhao family that's in the top ten list of the wealthiest families in China?" "Apparently they own half the pharmaceutical and medicine industry in China." "They're as powerful as the Xue family!"

"Oh my god!"

"You mean someone from the Zhao family is here too?"

"This Ye Fan is doomed for sure!"

The entire hotel was in an uproar after someone from the Zhao family arrived.

The Xu and Xue families weren't here yet, but the powers supporting them were frightening enough.

This Zhao family was as rich as all the guests added together.

"This time, that young fellow is going to give in, right?" someone laughed sadistically amidst the shocked crowd.

Ye Fan's expression had indeed fallen this time.

But of course, it wasn't because of what the Zhao family was capable. It was because of the person leading the men from the Zhao family.

It was the man who used to be the richest man in Jiangdong who got chased out by Ye Fan - Zhao Wu-Ji!

"Mr Chu, how have you been? You're surprised to see me here, aren't you? But I do have to thank you for letting me live back then. Otherwise I wouldn't have been able to return to Yanjing and inherit my family's billion dollar assets," laughed Zhao Wu-Ji coldly. He was smiling, but he looked at Ye Fan icily and murderously.

Ye Fan had told Chen Ao and the rest to break Zhao Wu-Ji's legs, fling him into a coffin and send him out of Jiangdong.

But Zhao Wu-Ji didn't die and was rescued by his family.

So after his legs were treated, Zhao Wu-Ji stayed within the family and started to pull his resources together in preparation to return to Jiangdong and take revenge on those who humiliated him back then. But he didn't expect Ye Fan to come courting death in Yanjing before he could go back.

"You don't have to thank me, I'll kill you in a few moments," said Ye Fan coldly. Zhao Wu-Ji could only swallow the words he wanted to say.

He decided to just fall out with Ye Fan directly and started laughing angrily.

"Mr Chu, you're too used to getting your way in Jiangdong, so you're still putting on a brave front now. But too bad, this is not Jiangdong. This is Yanjing, the capital city of the country. You've gotten into big trouble and offended half the big shots of Yanjing."

"Besides, even without the Xu and Xue families, the Zhao family is powerful enough to make you die a thousand times over! My family is a new up and coming family in this city and we have tremendous influence in the capital. Even the mayor of Yanjing doesn't dare to be rude to my

family. You're just a gangster, so how dare you sit here and speak so boldly?"
