A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)

Chapter 143 Sorry to Disappoint You

In the end, Zhao Li-Chun was taken away. The only things awaiting him in the future were the

merciless sentencing from the court and long days of darkness in prison.

Most likely, Zhao Li-Chun himself had not expected that a country bumpkin, somebody he had looked

down on, would turn out to be the one to seal his doom.

He had treated Ye Fan's warning as nonsense but, as it turned out, the words were a prophecy. In the

end, Zhao Li-Chun could not escape his fate of serving a lengthy sentence in prison.

Before he left the restaurant, Ye Fan's aweinspiring words continued to ring in his ears.

"There are hidden dragons, even in the hinterland!"

"I may be poor, but I am puissant!!!"

"Hahaha! Indeed! There are hidden dragons, even in the hinterland-" "Well said!

"Hahaha-"

"I, Zhao Li-Chun, have misjudged you~"

He looked heavenward and sighed heavily. Tears started to stream down from his eyes and his piteous

laughter resounded through the surrounding area.

Nobody knew just how much regret Zhao Li-Chun was feeling at this moment.

If he had known earlier that Ye Fan enjoyed such power and influence, he would never have

challenged the latter no matter what.

However, there was no "if" in life.

Sometimes, a person's success or failure was decided in the blink of an eye.

Take today for example. If Zhao Li-Chun had not been blinded by greed and if he had not agreed to

help Liu Jia-Wei deal with Ye Fan, he would not have found himself in such a sad state.

When he was being carried away, the surrounding onlookers could not help but sigh feelingly.

To think, the pathetic person before them had been swaggering around like a king just a mere half an

hour ago.

Life was full of unexpected circumstances.

Now that the matter at the restaurant had been settled, there was no reason for Ye Fan to stay. So he

went along with Lei San to the hall where the tournament would be held.

The Mount Tai Hall was located at the foot of the mountain, where it towered over the surrounding area.

It had been constructed with the intention of using it as an arena for underground boxing matches and,

indeed, it had served that purpose. Forthat reason, the building occupied a huge area. The hall was

luxurious and its dome looked like a gigantic sword thrusting upward toward the sky.

"Mr. Chu, these are the clothes you wanted. I got somebody to deliver them here."

Earlier, Ye Fan's clothes had gotten soaked with wine when he was dealing with Zhao Li-Chun and his

men. Afterward, he had asked Lei San to bring him a change of clothes.

Right now, he was wearing a white short sleeve shirt, a black sports jacket and a pair of Nike running

shoes.

"Mm, not bad. The shoes fit me perfectly." It was Ye Fan's first time wearing a pair of branded sports

shoes and, indeed, it felt comfortable on his feet.

Once he had changed into his new clothes, Ye Fan said nonchalantly, "Alright, you go ahead first."

Lei San was confused. "Mr. Chu, aren't you going to enter the hall with me?"

VIPs, such as themselves, had their own exclusive passageway. But it seemed that Ye Fan had no

intention of entering the arena with them.

"No. I will be using the regular passageway. I am going to look for some friends of mine," Ye Fan

replied.

When Lei San saw that Ye Fan had made up his mind, he did not question the latter further.

"Since you have decided to meet up with your friends, I will not impose on you further. I will go to the

venue before you. But Mr. Chu, you have a match later on, so please do not be late. The survival of

Jiangdong rests solely in your hands."

And then Lei San continued to chat about other things. But when he saw that Ye Fan was getting

impatient, he wisely shut up and hurriedly departed for the arena.

After he parted company with Lei San, Ye Fan turned around and left the place as well.

Just then, a white BMW drove toward the spot where Ye Fan and Lei San had been standing and came NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.

to a halt. Afterward, a peerlessly beautiful figure stepped down from the vehicle and started looking

around the building for a parking spot.

"Mm?"

But while the beauty was looking around, a slight frown suddenly appeared on her face. As she stared

at the back of a passerby in front of her, she found herself slightly lost in a daze.

She could not explain why, but she felt that the person's back view greatly resembled Ye Fan's.

"Cheng-Cheng, what are you looking at? Have you found a parking spot?” Su Qian's head popped out

of the car's window and started complaining at her friend.

"Mm mm, I am searching right now." Qiu Mu-Cheng pulled back her gaze from the passerby and

started to help her friend find a parking spot.

But before she left, Qiu Mu-Cheng turned around again to take another look. Finally, she heaved a sigh

inwardly.

What was wrong with her?

Why had she slipped into a trance? Why did she keep seeing Ye Fan wherever she looked?

Did she really miss him that much?

"Impossible. Why would I miss a jerk like him?"

"It has been a whole day already. How dare he not give me a call—"

When she thought about Ye Fan, Qiu Mu-Cheng could feel an inexplicable anger rise up within her.

She had already made up her mind. If Ye Fan was not going to take the initiative to call her, then she

was not going to take the initiative to call him either.

I hope you will leave me alone forever!

Just then, Qiu Mu-Cheng was feeling great resentment toward Ye Fan and it looked like she was

ignoring him in order to spite him.

While Qiu Mu-Cheng and Su Qian were outside looking for a parking spot, Li Xiao-Hong and Chen Nan

were inside the hall and they were starting to get worried.

"Uncle, why isn't Ye Fan here yet? Do you think he has encountered some problem?"

Earlier, Li Xiao-Hong had been addressing Ye Fan as "Mr. Chu," but the latter had smiled and said it

sounded aloof. He had told her to just call him by his name. So she had started to call him "Ye Fan"

since then.

"That's right, Uncle Wang. Why is Fan chatting so long with his friend?" Chen Nan was also feeling

worried. She was ready to go back to the restaurant and search for him.

But, just then, both Wang Yu and Liu Jia-Wei were feeling smug as sinister smiles appeared on their

faces.

You still think your boyfriend is coming?

I am afraid you are going to be disappointed.

I am afraid he is not going to show up tonight.

Liu Jia-Wei estimated that, at this moment, Zhao Li-Chun and his men had already broken the country

bumpkin's legs and dumped him in a gully somewhere.

But although they were thinking such dreadful thoughts, both Liu Jia-Wei and Wang Yu continued to put

on kindly smiles.

"Miss Chen, nothing will happen to him.

Stop thinking about him.”

"That Ye Fan is just a country bumpkin. How is he worthy of you?”

"If he never returns, isn't that for the best?"

"At that time, you and Young Master Liu can become a couple. Nobody will stand in your way then. Am

I right?" Wang Yu smiled creepily.

Now that Ye Fan was not around, Wang Yu could afford to speak without restraint.

But Chen Nan looked a little unhappy. She glared at Wang Yu and said, "You are not to speak of Fan

this way."

"Alright alright alright. I won't say anything."

In any case, that country bumpkin is not coming back. They have probably beaten him to death

already.

Wang Yu sneered as he thought this.

And Liu Jia-Wei had a gleeful look on his face.

When they were at the restaurant, Ye Fan had embarrassed him several times. Liu Jia-Wei had already

wanted to kill Ye Fan back then. And now, by making use of Zhao Li-Chun, he had managed to get rid

of the country bumpkin. Undoubtedly, that was the result Liu Jia-Wei wanted.

Young Master Liu, I am afraid you have to be disappointed."

Just as Liu Jia-Wei and Wang Yu were sneering to themselves, a faint voice rang out from behind

them.

They turned around and saw a slim youth with a faint smile on his face. And as he walked toward them,

they could see that he was completely unharmed.

"Fan-"

"Ye Fan!”

When Chen Nan and Li Xiao-Hong saw Ye Fan, both of them were overjoyed.

But Liu Jia-Wei's face trembled a little and his pupils contracted. He was shocked.

How... how is this possible?

How is it possible for him to come back?

And he is unharmed? He even changed his clothes?
