A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)
Chapter 67 She Is My Wife

"Hao, we should stop here for today."

"Yeah, it's getting late. Let's meet another time." Everyone had eaten and drank their fill, so they were getting ready to leave.

"Haha, okay."

"Before I leave, let me offer Mr. Sun another toast. Mr. Sun, when you inherit Baiyi Group and become successful in the future, please do not forget your friends."

Wang Hao laughed heartily, and then the other dinner guests raised their glasses toward Sun Yu-Hao as well. Wang Hao was indeed skilled in the art of flattery. And Sun Yu-Hao took the opportunity to show of by putting on a show of humility. As he accepted the toast, he looked to be in high spirits.

Bang-

Suddenly, the door was suddenly kicked open.

And then a dozen or so heavily built men crowded into the room.

"Mm?"

"What... What is going on?"

Sun Yu-Hao and his companions were dumbfounded.

There are so many men here. What the hell are they thinking of doing!

"Friend, perhaps you have entered the wrong room?" Sun Yu-Hao suppressed his panic and carefully asked for their reason in coming to the dining room. But he was ignored.

"It's him! It's him!"

"Mr. Du, he was the one who hit me!"

Just then, a woman and two men walked into the room. When the sexy lady saw Wang Hao, she immediately pointed at him and started screaming.

And when Wang Hao saw the woman, his heart sank.

This is game over for me. I am in trouble!

But Wang Hao was an astute person. Instead of panicking, he pretended to be confused and said, "When did I hit you? Are you mistaken, lady? I have not left this room once. Why don't I come closer so that you can have a better look at me?"

Wang Hao was a good actor. As he was speaking, he moved closer and closer to the door. And soon, he reached where the woman was standing.

"Is it him?" The bald man asked to make sure.

"Yes, that's right! It's him!" Xiao-Fang shrieked as she looked at the man standing before her.

But to everyone's surprise, and while their attention was elsewhere, Wang Hao suddenly pushed aside the woman and ran out of the room like a madman.

"Shit!"

"That bastard tricked us." "Call the reception counter. Stop him at the entrance."

Sheng Tian flew into a rage and exclaimed, "This is my turf. He thinks he can get away?"

And soon, the group ran toward the main lobby.

Just then, Sun Yu-Hao and his companions were still confused. They had no idea what was going on.

"Yu-Hao, what... what happened just now?" Han Fei-Fei had already turned pale.

Sun Yu-Hao shook his head and said, "Let's go have a look."

Wang Hao was part of their group so, naturally, Sun Yu-Hao could not just abandon him and leave.

Very soon, Qiu Mu-Cheng and her companions reached the main lobby.

At this moment, the main lobby was in a state of chaos. Wang Hao had failed to escape, and was lying sprawled on the floor after getting kicked by an attacker.

Both Sheng Tian and Mr. Du were sitting cross-legged in antique wooden armchairs. They were looking on coldly as Wang Hao took a beating from multiple attackers.

"How dare you cause trouble at my place. You must be tired of living," Shen Tian said sombrely.

When the surrounding diners saw what was going on, they could only shake their heads helplessly.

That fellow has offended Sheng Tian. It is game over for him.

"Yu-Hao, what are going to do? Will they kill Hao?" The violence happening in front of her had frightened Han Fei-Fei out of her wits.

Sun Yu-Hao's face had turned an ugly shade of green. Who would have thought that the man in front of them would turn out to be Sheng Tian, the boss of this restaurant.

Meanwhile, Wang Hao was screaming at Sun Yu-Hao for help.

The latter hesitated for a long while, before stepping forward.

After all, Wang Hao had come to the restaurant with him. Whether for ethical reasons or because he didn't want to lose face, Sun Yu-Hao had no other choice but to lend a helping hand. Also, Qiu Mu-Cheng might think he was a coward, if he did nothing.

"Hi, are you Uncle Sheng? I am Sun Yu-Hao. My father is Sun Xiang. You had dinner with him once last year."

Sun Yu-Hao stopped for a moment and smiled at Sheng Tian. When the latter stayed silent, Sun Yu-Hao was delighted.

It looks like this might work out after all!

So he continued, "Uncle Sheng, this is a friend of mine. May I know how he has offended you? If he has done so, will you please forgive him for my father's sake?

Both my father and I will remember this favor."

When he finished speaking, Sun Yu-Hao looked expectantly at Sheng Tian.

The latter was still seated in his wooden armchair and puffing away on a cigarette. He frowned at Sun Yu-Hao through the curtain of smoke and said, "Young man, what did you just say? Repeat it to me." Sheng Tian's tone was a little cold, and Sun Yu-Hao's heart tightened a little. The young master wasn't so sure about things anymore. But he continued, "Uncle Sheng, my father is Sun Xiang. You had a drink with him once last year. I hope you will forgive my friend just this once, for my father's sake."

When Sheng Tian finished listening, he stared and said coldly, "What the hell did you just say? Repeat yourself."

Damn!

Sun Yu-Hao felt like crying.

If you are not willing to do me the favor, why can't you just tell me directly? Why are you pretending to be deaf?

But although Sun Yu-Hao was panicking, he thought he could still pull this off. After all, Sheng Tian was his father's acquaintance. And Wang Hao was just a small fry. Sun Yu-Hao was confident that, given his father's clout, he would be able to manage the flow of things.

So, Sun Yu-Hao plucked up his courage and repeated himself, "Uncle Sheng, my father is Sun Xiang. I hope you..."

Thump-

But before Sun Yu-Hao could finish speaking, Sheng Tian hurled his cigarette onto the floor and stomped on it. And then his voice resonated in the lobby. "You son of a bitch! What did you just say? Why don't you freaking repeat that for me?"

After Sheng Tian's outburst, Sun Yu-Hao almost wet his pants in fear. His body started shaking all over, and he felt so weak that he was about to collapse on the floor.

This time, he opened his mouth and made some unintelligible noise. But he dared not speak a single word.

"Haha-"

"Mr. Sheng, don't scare him."

"Or his daddy might come after you-"

Mr. Du burst out laughing when he saw the frightened look on Sun Yu-Hao's face.

Finally, Sheng Tian laughed mockingly and returned to his armchair. He looked at the shivering Sun Yu-Hao and smiled lightly. "Young man, it is fine if you want to show off. But before that, you ought to make sure that you can actually afford to do so."

"You are just an inexperienced young lad. How dare you use your father's name in front of me. You want respect? You want me to do you a favor? If your father was here today, he would not dare to accept my favor."

Sheng Tian laughed mockingly, and then ordered his men to continue beating Wang Hao.

"Even... Even if you have power and wealth, you should not go around bullying people. Aren't you afraid of the police?" Suddenly, Han Fei-Fei's voice rang out softly in the lobby.

Qiu Mu-Cheng nudged her cousin and said warningly, "Fei-Fei, stop talking nonsense."

But it was too late.

Sheng Tian turned in the direction of the voice and saw the cousins. He was slightly taken aback.

And then he laughed coldly. "Wow, you are a pair of good lookers."

"Okay. Since you feel sorry for him, I will spare this bastard."

"But, the both of you must come over and have a drink with me and Mr. Du."

Sheng Tian smiled sinisterly and then he gestured for two of his men to go grab the cousins.

"What... What do you think you are doing?"

"Leave us alone~"

Han Fei-Fei was scared out of her wits and she almost burst into tears.

Qiu Mu-Cheng paled and pulled her cousin along as she retreated.

But, just then, a figure stepped forward quietly and stood in front of the two ladies.

Ye Fan stood there with both hands in his pockets. As he looked at Sheng Tian, he said softly: "You are Sheng Tian, right? Do me a favor, will you? Let them go. She is my wife."
