A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)
Chapter 660 Response from Various Parties

It was one thing to be able to truly cut Meng Group off from every business in Jiangdong. But even if they managed to achieve that, so what?

Meng Group was backed by a powerful supporter in Yanjing.

As long as the Zhang family in Yanjing was still doing well, the Meng family wouldn't collapse either.

Even if Ye Fan used all of Jiangdong's resources, there would be nothing they could do about them.

So Li Er didn't hold very high hopes about this operation.

But Li Er didn't have any choice. Ye Fan refused to listen to his advice and insisted on carrying on, so Li Er had to just carry out Ye Fan's instructions.

After he got back home, he had a video conference with Chen Ao and Lei San.

"How did it go? Did you manage to persuade Mr Chu? Mr Chu just became the king of Jiangdong and his position isn't stable yet. It's definitely a bad time to fall out with the Meng family," said Lei San anxiously.

The three of them were now in the same boat as Ye Fan.

If anything happened to Ye Fan, the three of them would be in trouble too, so it was only natural for them to be exceptionally concerned with Ye Fan's decision.

Li Er gave a long sigh. Tve said everything I could, but Mr Chu has no intention of changing his mind. Besides, he just passed the death sentence on the Meng family earlier. He wants us to take action tonight. We have to cut off all revenue, imports and sales channels that the Meng family has. Also, we have to try to get all their business partners to terminate all contracts with them. He wants to completely isolate the Meng family from the rest of Jiangdong!"

What?

"Mr Chu is serious about this? Li Er, why didn't you tell Mr Chu about the possible consequences of doing this? Does he think doing this will work? As long as the ones backing up the Meng family are still standing strong, the Meng family will never be isolated and left helpless!" said Chen Ao anxiously.

Li Er continued to shake his head. "There's no point telling me about this. I've already said everything I could. But you two know Mr Chu's personality. Once he's decided on something, even if all three of us kneel before him and plead with him, he's not going to change his mind."

"What are we going to do now?" asked Lei San in a grim voice.

It was silent for a while.

After a moment, Chen Ao finally shook his head and sighed. "What else can we do? We have to carry out Mr Chu's instructions."

Lei San sighed bitterly as well. "Mr Chu is still too young after all. Young and rash. He'll probably get it after he gets his fingers burnt."

The three of them hung up with a heavy heart.

They started their plan to attack the Meng family from all sides that very night.

Back at Mount Yunding Villa.

The pile of documents was still on the table, but Ye Fan didn't look at them

He just scoffed quietly. "The Zhang family in Yanjing?"

His light chuckles echoed softly in the room and it was filled with disdain.

Ye Fan picked up his phone and was about to give Xu Lei a call when his phone started ringing first.

It was Xu Lei.

"Hello Lei, I was just about to call you, but you came calling first," said Ye Fan with a faint chuckle after he picked up the call.

"Is that so? So you still remember I exist? You've returned to Jiangdong for so long but you haven't called me at all," grumbled Xu Lei.

Ye Fan laughed bitterly, "But I'm on the phone with you now. It's 1 st January, so happy new year, Lei."

"Humph, that's more like it." Xu Lei nodded satisfactorily and she wasn't so angry with him anymore.

She too, wished Ye Fan a happy new year.

"By the way, there's something that I'll need to trouble you about."

"Ha, I just knew it. You wouldn't remember me if you didn't need me to do something for you," Xu Lei started grumbling again.

Ye Fan barely managed to humor her with an apology.

"What is it?" asked Xu Lei.

Ye Fan explained to Xu Lei about the Meng family.

Xu Lei immediately frowned upon hearing this.

"Fan, don't worry about the Zhang family, I'll settle it. I'll make sure the Zhang family doesn't provide the Meng family with any help until they surrender to you. They wouldn't dare to try!" Xu Lei's voice was rather icy now.

Anybody who threatened her Fan's family or influence was her enemy!

She would never let them off.

"Lei, I'll have to trouble you to do this then. I'll get the Xue family to help you as well."

After that brief conversation, Ye Fan hung up as well.

Ye Fan remained exceptionally calm and there was no worry nor anxiety on his face at all.

Li Er felt that the Zhang family from

Yanjing was a powerful enemy.

But they were nothing to Ye Fan.

Ye Fan didn't even care for the most influential families of Yanjing. So what was one tiny Zhang family to him?

Then again, Li Er, Chen Ao and Lei San were just pawns in Ye Fan's hands, so they only knew a fraction of what Ye Fan was capable of. It was only natural for them to be worried.

The night passed very quickly.

Chen Ao, Li Er and Lei San had spent the night making arrangements.

The next day, every business and family who partnered Chunhua Group within Jiangdong announced that they were terminating their partnerships.

At the same time, as the chairman of the Jiangdong Business Association, Chen Ao declared that they were going to discipline the Meng family for disrupting market operations, so he called on all major corporations in Jiangdong to boycott Chunhua Group.

After Chen Ao made this announcement, Li Er and Lei San immediately supported him.

Mr Chu didn't appear in any of this, but it was obvious that he was the one trying to attack the Meng family.

At the Wang family's bungalow in Haozhou.

"Dad, what do we do now? Should we support Chen Ao and the rest in this move?" asked Wang Yu-Chen as he sat next to his father, Wang Jie-Xi. Wang Jie-Xi was deep in thought after he had received the news from Chen Ao.

After a short period of silence, Wang Jie-Xi shook his head. "We'll sit and observe for a while. The Meng family is not as powerful as Mr Chu within Jiangdong, but they have a strong backer. If Mr Chu pushes them into a corner, it's hard to say who will eventually win. It's better to just wait and see for the moment," said Wang Jie-Xi quietly.

Over at the Xia family in Yunzhou.

The Xia family wasn't one of the top families in Yunzhou, but they were quite influential.

More importantly, the Xia family had always worked very closely to with the Meng family.

But now that Mr Chu suddenly wanted to make things difficult for the Meng family, the Xia family was now in a dilemma.

Should they continue their partnership or terminate it?

The Xia family was now faced with an extremely tough question.
