A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)
Chapter 553 You'd Better Run

"Son, get yourself a good meal, then run for it. Our company can't be saved. Over the last few minutes, corporations in Yanjing, Jinling, Gangdao and other major cities have attacked the company at the same time. Even international financial corporations and oligarchs are attacking Shuntian Group! Everyone is trying to draw the line with us right now."

"We're doomed, we're really doomed this time. The business that our ancestors have built up is gone just like that. After I go to jail, you must change your name and never say that you have anything to do with Shuntian Group." Wang Sheng-Tian's father sounded like he was saying his last words to his son.

Just a few minutes ago, Wang Sheng-Tian was still arrogantly laughing away and boasting of his might.

But now, disaster had fallen from the sky and his family was going to collapse. In just a few minutes, everything that Wang Sheng-Tian was so proud of had shattered to pieces.

How could Wang Sheng-Tian accept such a devastating loss in such a short time?

After hearing his father sound as if he was saying his last words, Wang Sheng-Tian actually started crying even though he was nearly 30 years old already.

"Dad, what's wrong? What's happened? Everything was fine yesterday and we just celebrated your birthday last night. Why do I have to run for my life now? What about you? And Mum? You want me to change my name, but where are both of you going? If you're not coming with me, I'm not going anywhere!" Wang Sheng-Tian continued to weep fearfully.

But the man on the other line got angry.

"Hurry up and go! Sheng-Tian, the company can fall and the Shuntian Group can be destroyed, but you must leave right now! If you still treat me as your father, then you must run for your life right now. Someone from Zhonghai is already on their way to arrest you, so if you don't run now, the Wang family is really doomed. Leave Yunzhou and change your name, don't be a Wang anymore!"

Suddenly, an ear-piercing noise came through the phone.

It was followed by silence.

"Dad, Dad!" Wang Sheng-Tian shouted hysterically in the office.

Perhaps he was feeling both terrified and frightened, so Wang Sheng-Tian was trembling all over.

But no matter how loudly he shouted, nobody replied him.

The call had been cut off.

Wang Sheng-Tian couldn't figure it out at all.

How did this happen? How?

What could have made Shuntian Group collapse overnight?

Besides other corporations in China, even oligarchs from overseas were attacking

Shuntian Group and causing its downfall.

It felt as though the entire world was turning on Shuntian Industries at the same time.

"Mr Wang, I think we should run now!"

"We must have offended some really big shot!"

"HQ has already lost all hope. If our branch office continues to stay here, we're just going to perish eventually."

Many employees in the office were frightened and they all started to persuade Wang Sheng-Tian to make a run for it.

But after hearing what his subordinates said, Wang Sheng-Tian shuddered all over.

He spun around violently to look at the man on the sofa.

That fair faced man was still sitting there with a smile on his face and drinking his tea.

He was as calm as the surface of a lake.

His calmness didn't seem to fit in with the rest of the panicky office.

"It's you! You bastard, it's you! You did all this! What are you trying to do?!"

Wang Sheng-Tian's eyes were bloodshot and he had completely lost control of himself and started shouting hysterically at Ye Fan.

Ye Fan ignored him and looked like he hadn't heard anything. He just sat on the sofa and casually sipped his tea.

He looked so leisurely, it was as if he was just watching a show.

"You..."

Wang Sheng-Tian clenched his fists tightly when he looked at Ye Fan's expression. His eyes were filled with deep hatred and anger as he looked at Ye Fan.

But after some time, this intense hatred finally turned into a great wave of terror.

THUD.

Wang Sheng-Tian finally ended up kneeling at Ye Fan's feet after all.

After he calmed down, Wang Sheng-Tian finally realized how frightening this man really was.

In just a matter of minutes, all of Shuntian Group was suddenly on the brink of collapse all because of what this person said.

The Wang family's numerous assets turned out to be so fragile in Ye Fan's hands.

Wang Sheng-Tian didn't dare to imagine what sort of frightening power this man truly held.

He looked at Ye Fan and smiled bitterly to himself.

"Countryside louse? Cowardly live-in son-in-law? That was just a cover. We've been fooled. We've all been fooled. With just one word, you could push Shuntian Group to the brink of collapse. With just one word, you could destroy the billion dollar empire that my family has built over the last few decades overnight. If you don't have an incredible background, power or influence, you wouldn't be able to do this!" "You're no cowardly live-in son-in-law. Who on earth are you?" Wang Sheng-Tian asked Ye Fan in a miserable voice with a heart full of dejection and self-deprecation.

The heaviness in his heart also contained shock and confusion, but he also felt terrified at how little he knew about this man before him.

Ye Fan sipped his tea and looked up at Wang Sheng-Tian. The teasing look on his lips intensified. "Mr Wang, instead of being concerned about who I am, why don't you think of a way to save your parents and save the Shuntian Group that you're so proud of?"

Wang Sheng-Tian's face trembled at this.

He knelt on the floor and looked up at Ye Fan as he anxiously asked, "Ye...Mr Ye, is there still hope for my parents? Is there still hope for Shuntian Group?"

Wang Sheng-Tian was already in despair.

He thought that he had angered Ye Fan to the point where the company was beyond saving. But after hearing what Ye Fan said, Wang Sheng-Tian saw a glimmer of hope.

"As I said, Shuntian Group is merely an ant to me. If I can make it live, I can make it die. Since it's just an ant, I can kill it or revive it with just the word." Ye Fan spoke very calmly, but the weight of his words were significant.

After hearing this, Wang Sheng-Tian immediately started to kowtow and beg for mercy.

His forehead hit the floor again and again, and there was soon blood on his skin.

"Mr Ye, what do you want me to do? I'll agree to anything. Please, please let us off, let off my father, let off Shuntian Group! Mr Ye, I was the one who was blind and I beg you, please let us off!" Wang Sheng- Tian couldn't stop crying and his tears mingled with his blood as they flowed down his face.

His assistants were completely stunned as they watched their boss literally kneel down at Ye Fan's feet to beg for mercy.

Not too long ago, Wang Sheng-Tian was still looking down at Ye Fan as if Ye Fan was merely his servant, but now Wang Sheng-Tian was as frantic and helpless as an injured dog.

Ye Fan looked at Wang Sheng-Tian, listened to him plead and then laughed. "Mr Wang, I said that it would only take five minutes for you to kneel down and beg for mercy. You didn't believe me and you thought I was joking. What do you think now?"

Ye Fan chuckled as he lifted up his cup to give the frightened man in front of him a toast.

Then he lifted his hand and knocked back the entire cup of tea!
