A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage) novel Chapter 1036

"This...this is..."

The sudden loud rumbling had everyone present stunned momentarily.

They turned and saw numerous cars headed up the mountain.

Lu Ming-Feng and Xur Shao-Hua frowned.

"Shao-Hua, are those your men?" Lu Ming-Feng turned towards the other young man with confusion in his eyes.

Xur Shao-Hua shook his head. "No. Elder Wei is the only person I brought with me to Jiangdong."

"That's odd. Who exactly are they?" Doubt rose inside Lu Ming-Feng.

He had noticed that these cars had Yanjing-registered license numbers.

These men had come from Yanjing.

Lu Ming-Feng and Xur Shao-Hua could do whatever they wanted in Jiangdong without fear of repercussion because of their powerful families.

But they would have to show some measure of respect to these people if they were from Yanjing.

Yanjing was the capital city of China, after all. There were plenty of other powerful families and bodies running around in that city.

They might come from powerful families themselves, but they would never dare to act brazenly in Yanjing.

An act of recklessness could invite needless trouble for their families.

Suspicion began to unfurl inside Lu Ming-Feng's mind as he watched those cars approach and stop in front of them.

The door to one of the cars opened.

A beautiful yet stern looking young woman stepped out of the car and into the sight of everyone.

The hems of her cream-colored coat fluttered lightly in the wind while her long, dark hair cascaded down her back. Her black heels made her a tall, striking figure in the night.

She exuded an air of cool elegance.

Her eyes were those of a leader who had had a firm and long rule.

The sight of the cold and stern young woman sent Lu Ming-Feng's eyelid twitching. Somehow, she looked really familiar.

Suspicious of who she might be, Lu Ming-Feng spoke politely as he stepped forward and inquired her name. "Miss, may we know whom you are and what you are doing in our estate so late in the evening?"

Lu Ming-Feng had clearly deemed the estate on Mount Yunding as his.

After all, he had expelled Qiu Mu-Cheng from the mansion.

He was going to move into the mansion tomorrow morning and officially become the owner of this place.

"Xu Lei," said the young woman coolly and without any hint of emotion in her voice.

Her words were as cold and unfeeling as a rock.

"Xu Lei?" Lu Ming-Feng froze for a moment before he reeled back with surprise. "Are you the head of the Xu family in Yanjing, Xu Lei?"

The Xu family, like the Lu family, was one of the most powerful families in Yanjing.

Xu Lei had assumed the position of the head of the Xu family and taken over the family business at an extremely young age. The news had caused quite a stir then.

Everyone in Yanjing knew who Xu Lei was.

In fact, Lu Ming-Feng's father had often told Lu Ming-Feng to learn a few things from Xu Lei.

Naturally, Lu Ming-Feng had been surprised to find out that the woman standing before him was Xu Lei.

The smile on Lu Ming-Feng's face grew wider.

This was the head of the Xu family they were talking about.

They wouldn't have feared anyone else from the Xu family. They were members of powerful families themselves, after all.

But Xu Lei was the head of the Xu family. Her position warranted their caution.

If driven into anger, Xu Lei might do something crazy.

Lu Ming-Feng was quite sure that his father would kill him if he caused trouble for their family.

"Let her go." Lu Ming-Feng eventually

caved.

Xur Shao-Hua nodded and with a wave of his hand, got Elder Wei to stand down.

"Miss Xu Lei, we'll spare them on your account. You should keep a close eye on Miss Qiu though. If she decides to brave a return to Jiangdong and falls into my hand, you can't expect me to go easy on her on your account then,” said Lu Ming-Feng with a seeming smile and a hint of threat in his words.

Xu Lei turned around and leveled a hard look at him.

"Let me give you a word of advice too. Not everyone has the ability to take over and run Jiangdong. You should stop what you're trying to do if you want to live a few years longer. I can guarantee you that you will suffer terribly when he comes back. I'm quite sure you've done your research and you know what Fan is capable of."

Xu Lei smiled suddenly.

The bright smile was sharp and carried an

edge of icy hostility.

Xu Lei brought Qiu Mu-Cheng back with her to Yanjing.

She also found the severely injured Qing Tan and brought the young woman back with her.
