A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)

Chapter 142 I May Be Poor, but I Am Puissant!

The seconds ticked by. NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.

And soon, the five minutes would be up.

However, outside the restaurant, things remained calm. Apart from the bustling tourists, there was no

sign of anybody else.

Zhao Li-Chun remained seated. And as he leisurely munched on some peanuts, he continued to hug

his female companion.

As for Ye Fan, he was as composed as ever. With his hands stuck in his pockets, he waited quietly as

the seconds ticked by.

"You bastard. You are a good actor, aren't you?"

"Let's see how long you can keep up this act?"

Zhao Li-Chun snorted as he looked disdainfully and mockingly at Ye Fan.

From the very beginning, he had never taken Ye Fan seriously. So, naturally, he did not believe that

Master Lei San would actually come to the restaurant. The only reason why he was keeping Ye Fan

company was because he wanted the latter to break his own legs.

After all, if Zhao Li-Chun let his men break Ye Fan's legs, then they might encounter some trouble later

on if their victim filed a report with the authorities.

But if Ye Fan broke his legs of his own volition, then even the police would not be able to find fault with

them.

Finally, the hands on the clock reached seven o' clock and thirty-five minutes.

Zhao Li-Chun smiled and said, "Country bumpkin, your five minutes is up."

"But your Master Lei San did not come."

"Go on, break your own legs."

"You are just a lowly country bumpkin. How dare you show off in front of me?" "This is your end." Zhao

Li-Chun smiled lightly. He continued to munch on the peanuts and caress his female companion.

And Ye Fan smiled in return. "Yes, that's right. The five minutes is up."

"And your life is about to end as well."

Mm?

"You bastard! Do you have a death wish?"

Ye Fan's words caused the gangsters to erupt in anger. Their patience was at an end. When Zhao Li-

Chun barked an order, all of his underlings rushed forward at Ye Fan.

However, at this moment, the roar of car engines rang out from outside the restaurant.

The earth trembled and the sound of tires screeching on the ground resounded through the air.

Immediately afterward, the door to the restaurant was kicked open with a loud

bang.

And then a mass of men swept into the lobby like a tide of lava. Their leader was a man with a crew

cut.

Zhao Li-Chun's men were greatly shocked by the intrusion. The vampish-looking woman was so

frightened that she jumped up and started scolding the intruders.

"Where did these ignorant fools come from!”

"This is Mr. Zhao's turf, so how dare you..."

But when Zhao Li-Chun saw the leader of the intruders, a horrible change came over his expression

and a tremor ran through his body. Right away, he jumped up from his seat and slapped the vampish-

looking woman to the floor.

"Mr. Zhao, what are you doing?” The woman's eyes reddened and she nearly wept as she clutched at

her face.

"Screw you! Shut your stupid mouth!" Zhao Li-Chun scolded.

At this moment, he was so frightened that he nearly wet his pants. Without further delay, he hurried

forward and greeted the new arrival with a respectful smile.

"Mr. Yu, what an unexpected surprise?"

"You should have told me you were coming. I would have prepared a reception for you. With plenty of

good food, good wine and beautiful women!”

"But you came without any warning, so I was not able to prepare anything for your arrival."

Zhao Li-Chun put on a fawning look as he spoke to the man with the crew cut, and there was no trace

left of the arrogance he had exhibited toward Ye Fan.

It could not be helped. The person called "Mr. Yu" was a favorite of Master Lei San, and he had been

put in charge of several counties. And it was thanks to Mr. Yu's protection that Zhao Li-Chun was able

to thrive in Anning County.

Privately, the two got along well and they often associated with each other.

Zhao Li-Chun had also personally recruited a number of beauties and delivered them to Mr. Yu.

However, the moment Zhao Li-Chun had finished speaking, the crew-cut man kicked him in the

stomach and sent him sprawling to the floor.

"Prepare?"

"You should be preparing for your death!”

"You reckless fool! You don't give a damn who you offend, do you?" the crew-cut man scolded.

Zhao Li-Chun looked dumbfounded as he laid sprawled on the floor. He wanted to ask what was going

on, but he was not even given the chance to do so.

The crew-cut man simply ignored him and led his men to line up at both sides of the entrance. As they

turned to face outside the restaurant, they bowed at the waist and made respectful greetings.

"Welcome, Master San!”

"Welcome, Master San~"

Boom~

The ear-splitting sound coalesced into a stream and swept through the lobby.

At that moment, everyone was dumbfounded.

Meanwhile, Zhao Li-Chun was overwhelmed with shock and panic. His pupils had contracted and his

eyes were almost popping out of their sockets.

Could it be that Master Lei San was actually here?

As everyone was reeling in panic, a middle-aged man with a bald patch came into the restaurant from

outside. He was dressed in a suit and black leather shoes. When he walked into the lobby, he was

surrounded by his underlings.

At this moment, his face was devoid of all emotions except for anger and coldness.

The moment Lei San entered the lobby, he started to look around. Finally, his gaze landed on a person

in the crowd.

Without delay, he walked over and bowed slightly. And as everyone looked on in shock, he greeted Ye

Fan respectfully: "Mr. Chu, this happened because I have failed in disciplining my men. I am sorry for

causing you distress."

"This-"

"This... This..."

Everyone was shocked by what they were seeing.

Zhao Li-Chun, the vampish-looking woman and everyone else were all dumbstruck.

The gangsters who had wanted to assault Ye Fan with their weapons were especially affected. Their

faces turned pale as panic overwhelmed them. At this moment, they were so frightened that they were

ready to wet their pants.

Meanwhile, Zhao Li-Chun was staring at the young man who was being greeted respectfully by Master

Lei San. Just then, his mind was a blank. He opened his mouth to speak but he could only stammer his

words.

"How... how is this possible?"

Zhao Li-Chun found it hard to believe that a loser from the countryside could have the prestige to

command respect from a personage like Master Lei San of Jingzhou.

Just then, Zhao Li-Chun recalled the phone call he had answered earlier.

Could it be that Master Lei San had really been the caller?

Good heavens!

What have I freaking done?

I told Master Lei San to call me father?

Zhao Li-Chun was completely dumbstruck. His heart was overwhelmed with panic and despair!

Only now did he understand why Mr. Yu had told him to prepare for death when they met earlier.

He had offended two big shots in one go! His life was definitely over!

Inside the restaurant.

Ye Fan stood there with both hands clasped behind his back. In response to Lei San's apology, he

coldly said, "So you do know that you have failed in disciplining your men!"

"This person has just told me that he wanted to break my legs. I expect you know what to do?"

"Mm,” Lei San nodded. "Mr. Chu, please do not worry. I will handle the rest."

Lei San turned around right away and stared sinisterly at the bald man who had dared to pretend to be

his father. His eyes turned cold and then, as he waved his hand, Lei San said softly, "Break all his

limbs."

"And then, send him to the police station."

"A scumbag like him should remain in prison for the rest of his life."

Lei San's words were like a death sentence to Zhao Li-Chun. The latter's face turned white and he

collapsed onto the floor as if all strength had left his body. As he laid there, his heart was filled with

despair.

At this moment, a mass of men, numbering nearly a hundred, marched in from outside the restaurant.

Almost immediately, the new arrivals wrecked Zhao Li-Chun's den and restrained his men.

At the same time, Lei San threw a metal bat at Zhao Li-Chun and told the latter to break his own legs.

Finally, Lei San's men picked up a pain-racked Zhao Li-Chun as if he were a dog and was about to

carry him out when Ye Fan suddenly stopped them with a shout.

Just then, Ye Fan had both hands clasped behind his back and his eyes were sneering at Zhao Li-

Chun as he looked down at the latter's bloodied body. And then he smiled indifferently.

"Before you leave, there is something I would like to tell you."

"So what if somebody is from the countryside, and so what if he is from the city?"

"Whether a person is noble or base depends on his capability! What does it have to do with his birth?!"

"One should not question a hero about his origins!"

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

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