A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)
Chapter 413 A Surge of Undercurrent

Qiu Mu-Cheng's furious shouts kept reverberating through the office.

Ye Fan could perceive that he had gotten into trouble, so he chuckled sheepishly and snuck off without turning back.

Mufan Real Estate's opening ceremony had undoubtedly ended on a good note.

The Qiu family would probably avoid making mischief after the incident, and Qiu Mu-Cheng could put Mufan Real Estate's development on track in the future.

The things that were weighing on Ye Fan's mind had been sorted out.

"Young Master, you have been distracted by Miss Qiu for a while now."

Ye Fan sat by the window as he drank tea and admired the calm autumn scenery.

The old trees by the roadside had lost almost all their leaves. There was almost no sign of any wild geese as they had flown south.

"It looks like autumn will be over soon."

His tea misted densely. Ye Fan didn't reply the old man and only enjoyed this unusually relaxing evening instead.

The sun slowly set in the distance.

The last ray of sunlight created long shadows behind the passersby.

After a long time, Ye Fan shook his head and gently smiled as he said, "Yes, you're right, Han. I was distracted for quite a while. But I had no choice since Mu-Cheng is my wife. I'm her husband, so I couldn't leave her in the lurch. If we were to have a child, I don't want my son to hate his father the way I do."

Ye Fan held up his teacup to take a small sip before laughing softly.

His soft laughter sounded filled with a hint of self-ridicule instead.

Ye Fan's childhood experiences had traumatized him and deeply affected the rest of his life.

A deep voice came through the phone again, "It's so enviable that Young Master loves Miss Qiu so dearly. But I hope that Young Master can focus on what matters now! I have waited in the Chu family for ten years and hope to see Young Master claim your place like a king. I can't wait to see the day when flames scorch the earth."

Han's deep voice gradually billowed around the room, along with the vapor from the teacup.

Ye Fan nodded his head as he said, "Don't worry, Han. You have my word that I won't leave you waiting at the Chu family for long. Now that Mufan Real Estate is on track, Mu-Cheng can probably solve the rest of the problems independently, so I can replace time now to work on things as well. Tell me, is there anything I need to handle lately? Has the Chu family not given up on killing me and sent someone else to do it? Wu He-Rong was considered pretty renowned in the western underground circles. I'm sure the Chu family won't be able to sit tight when they found out that he died in my hands."

Ye Fan spoke composedly and with nonchalance as though these were completely mundane things.

But everyone knew that the Chu family, which Ye Fan was referring to, was a mammoth enterprise.

Ye Fan was probably the only person who could speak of it so nonchalantly.

"No they haven't. I made sure that the news was locked down, so for the time being, no one knows about Wu he-Rong's death and the Chu family probably won't make any other moves on Young Master for now. But the opening ceremony today might attract the Chu family's attention considering all the commotion it created, right?" said Han somewhat worriedly through the phone.

Ye Fan opened his eyes wide as he said, "Is this considered a big commotion? I already made it more low key. Otherwise, the ones who came to congratulate us wouldn't be kids like Lei Ao-Ting and Wang Yu- Chen, but their fathers, Lei San and Chen Ao."

After Lei San and Chen Ao found out about Mufan Real Estate's opening ceremony, they immediately prepared gifts and planned on coming on their own to give their good wishes.

Ye Fan told them to keep a lower profile. If they wanted to congratulate the company, they could send a random representative.

So the ones who came were all youths like Lei Ao-Ting, and Li Xue-Qi while their heads of the family didn't come.

"But Young Master, Wu Wei-Tao and the others went too, so this is enough to garner the attention of some forces. You must know that many Chinese families are the Chu family's subordinates and serve as their spies in the country. If they reported it, then the Chu family will probably take notice of you sooner or later," said Han deeply.

"Spies?" asked Ye Fan as he raised his brow and laughed coldly, "In the case, let's pick off his spies and kill his minions! Help me replace out right away which other powers are related to the Chu family other than Zhao Wu-Ji whom I have exiled from Jiangdong. Consolidate a list and sent it to me. Jiangdong is my territory, so I must rid it of all the Chu family minions."

Ye Fan sounded biting, and there was a cold expression on his face.

His mother and wife all lived in Jiangdong.

Ye Fan didn't care about any other place, but he had to ensure Jiangdong's security. He couldn't allow all the people he cared about to be placed in danger.

"Yes, Young Master. I will investigate it. Since Zhao Wu-Ji's forces were eradicated by Young Master, even if the Chu family has any other men left in Jiangdong, they are probably small fry. Chen Ao and Li Er can definitely take care of them. The most important thing for Young Master now is Yanjing."

"What?" said Ye Fan as he frowned, "Did something happen to our man in Yanjing?"

Ye Fan planted Sparks all over the world, so he had someone in Yanjing too.

Also, he was as important as Chen Ao from Jiangdong!

Han nodded and said, "Yes, Young Master. Something has occurred in Yanjing, and our spark has asked for help. You were so busy with Miss Qiu that I didn't have the chance to tell you about it."

Ye Fan's expression turned serious as he said deeply, "Do you need me to do anything?"

"Not for the time being. I already sent Tong Shan over. He ought to be able to settle it," replied Han.

Ye Fan nodded his head and said, "Okay, keep a close eye on Yanjing. The moment anything happens, report it to me. You must know how important Yanjing is. We can't lose this Spark, understand?" Ye Fan sounded serious as he instructed Han solemnly.

Yanjing was the capital of China.

Although the capital looked tranquil, many powerful forces secretly wrestled beneath its calm fagade, including a massive enterprise like the Chu family.

Ye Fan put in a lot of effort and paid a high price to help his Spark gain a foothold in Yanjing back then. After many years of painstaking efforts, his Spark finally gained some influence in Yanjing.

It was too great a loss for Ye Fan to lose this Spark.

"Young Master, I certainly do, so don't worry, I will take care of it."

"Okay, good. Don't force yourself if it can't be helped. I will take care of it personally if necessary," said Ye Fan deeply.
