A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)
Chapter 526 The Worm in Summer Knows Not What Ice Is,...

"Dragon Master, ever since you showed off your prowess at Yanqi Lake and turned the tides, all the various powers in Yanjing have come to pay their respects. I would say that all of Yanjing belongs to you now!"

Ye Fan was in the hotel room and he had already hung up the phone.

Xue Ren-Yang was now reporting to Ye Fan about the situation among the powerful in Yanjing.

After the match, the Lin family was destroyed, the Zhao family gave up their assets and the Xue family was the only one standing among the three up and coming families.

The head of the Xu family, Xu Feng-Liang had stepped down and passed the century old family assets to Xu Lei.

Ye Fan's arrival had turned Yanjing upside down!

"All of Yanjing is left with only one voice, and that's your voice!" Xue Ren-Yang had an excited look on his face and his voice was filled with reverence.

Ye Fan shook his head and laughed. He picked up his tea and sipped it. "Longyang, don't you think you're being to optimistic? Yanjing is the capital of China. Did you think one simple fighting match could make the entire corporate world of Yanjing become mine?"

"Huh?" Xue Ren-Yang was stunned.

"Dragon Master, isn't that so? Everyone acknowledged you as their king at the coronation banquet! Then at tonight's dinner at the top of Great China Building, so many rich and powerful people came to pay their respects as well. Isn't that proof that everyone already regards you as the king of Yanjing?"

Ye Fan laughed quietly. "Yanjing isn't Jiangdong. If it were so simple, then why would I make sure a Dragon is here to hold the fort?"

"This..." Xue Ren-Yang was surprised in his heart. He narrowed his eyes and looked back at Ye Fan. "Dragon Master, are you saying that there is still trouble lurking in

Yanjing?"

"I wouldn't consider them trouble. I will just say that there are powerful opponents that we ought to be wary for. Remember, Yanjing has four influential families. The only one under my wing right now is the Xu family. Have the other three families come to pay their respects?" said Ye Fan in a low voice.

Xue Ren-Yang went into deep thought and shook his head. "It's true that the other three have not come to pay their respects. It looks like they're not going to acknowledge you as the king of Yanjing."

Ye Fan nodded. "I expected as much. The remaining three families have much to fall back on. The Xur family is powerful in politics, while the Ye family has a god of war in the army. The one we should take note of most is the He family."

What?

"The He family? You mean the He family is even more powerful than the Ye family? The Ye family has Ye Qing-Tian, and he's the top person in the military, highly reputed in all of China!"

Ye Qing-Tian was famous throughout the military world.

Xue Ren-Yang had also heard much about him.

It could be said that for as long as Ye Qing-Tian did not fall, the Ye family's position in Yanjing and even in all of China would never fall!

And so, all along, Xue Ren-Yang always thought that the leader of the four influential families, the Ye family, would be the most powerful!

But now, Ye Fan was saying that the one they should be wary of was the He family, the family that seemed to barely exist.

The Ye family and Xur families were very stable in their positions and didn't care to fight for money or market share.

But it was still possible to see the two families appear in the media.

Only the He family remained mysterious and low profile!

They never got involved in any business fights, and never participated in any activities.

And that was why the He family was a rich and powerful family that didn't even seem like it existed.

"A frog in the well will never see the birds soaring in the sky. If you stand at the foot of the mountain, of course you won't be able to see the trees at the top of the mountain! This He family is unknown in the corporate circles, but they are famous in the martial arts world. The most powerful fighter from the He family is one of the pillars of this nation in Chinese martial arts! He is not any less than Ye Qing-Tian if you talk about prestige and capability. Besides, the He family is a famous martial arts family in China. The family has produced so many powerful men whom the country relies on. The He family may not have as deep roots as the Chu family, but they're not far."

Ye Fan's low voice echoed quietly in this hotel room. He said these words as he looked out of the window with deep eyes.

Who knew how many more tigers and dragons were hiding in this seemingly peaceful place?

But Xue Ren-Yang was even more shocked by this.

"The martial arts world? Pillars of the nation? Dragon Master, what are these things? Do they seriously exist? Why have I never heard of these things?" asked Xue Ren-Yang confusedly. He just felt that he had uncovered a new corner of the world.

Ye Fan sipped his tea and continued speaking quietly, "Just because you can't see it doesn't mean it isn't there. The frog in the well doesn't know about the sea, but the sea exists. A worm in summer doesn't know what ice is, but winter exists. When you stand at a high place, you will be able to see many things you didn't see before."

"You don't have to ask too much, you just have to help me to control the business world. As for the martial arts world, the other Dragons will help me to settle it."

"But I can tell you that there are people in this world who are so powerful that they do not fear guns or cannons."

"As for the pillars of the nation, that refers to the group of people who stand at the very peak of China's martial arts world. In other words, they are the leaders of Chinese martial arts."

Silence.

There was a long silence.

All these years, Xue Ren-Yang had been dwelling within the corporate circles and he never knew that there was another world out there.

"Alright now, I'm just telling you all this as a reminder. Without my instructions, do not provoke the He family. We are not afraid of trouble, but we shouldn't go round looking for it. Do you get what I'm saying?" Ye Fan specially instructed Xue Ren-Yang in a low voice.

He was leaving the next day, and nothing in Yanjing posed a threat to him now.

Ye Fan was just worried that Xue Ren-Yang might become too complacent with this immense amount of power and simply go around provoking others for nothing.

It wasn't so bad if they offended ordinary folk, but if they offended people like the He family, it would become tricky for even Ye Fan to handle.

One Chu family was enough for Ye Fan to deal with. He didn't want to end up with another powerful opponent.

"Dragon Master, don't worry. I will make sure that we remain stable within the powers of Yanjing and we will not attempt to expand nor find any trouble," Xue Ren-Yang promised him.

Ye Fan nodded. "As long as you understand. Also, help me to look out for Lei. She's just a girl after all. Even though she made a name for herself in the last ten years in Jiangdong, she will still need seniors like you with more experience to

guide her along."

"But of course. No matter what happens in Yanjing, I will definitely make sure to protect Miss Xu's safety!"
