A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage) novel Chapter 1052

Luxury cars gathered outside Haiyuan Restaurant.

A mist swirled above the surface of Yunwu Lake.

Any area within a hundred meters of the restaurant had been strictly cordoned off.

A few hundred security guards were guarding this border.

Their ferocious and mean looks made everyone else fearful.

Nobody standing around the restaurant curiously dared to go too close.

They just stood more than a hundred meters away from the restaurant and looked out at what was happening on tiptoes.

"But Mu-Ying, don't you think that Ye Fan died a little too suddenly? Everything was just fine, but we suddenly got news that he's dead. That country bumpkin was such a good fighter and he was even the King of Jiangdong, so do you think a person like that would really die this easily?" Qiu Mu-Qi casually spoke to Qiu Mu-Ying while waiting.

About half a month ago, there was a rumor in Yunzhou about how Ye Fan had died.

Qiu Mu-Qi had heard the rumor too, but nobody believed it and just thought it was nonsense.

It was difficult for anybody to believe something that had no proof.

So Qiu Mu-Qi had been suspicious about this matter right from the start.

"Life is unpredictable and anything could happen to anybody. Someone dies from an accident every single day, so there's nothing abnormal about this situation. Besides, Mufan Group has already been destroyed and Jiangdong is receiving a new leader today. These are all signs that are pointing to Ye Fan's death," replied Qiu Mu-Ying nonchalantly. She didn't think there was anything suspicious about the information.

"But Mu-Ying, these are all conjectures. As far as I know, there's no hard evidence to prove that Ye Fan is really dead. Nobody has found his body either," said Qiu Mu-Qi in a low voice.

Even though he hadn't interacted with Ye Fan a lot, the few times he had interacted with this seemingly harmless young man had left an extremely deep impression on him.

Regardless of whether it was the collapse of Hongqi Group or how his good friend, Wang Sheng-Tian, had desperately run for his life, this live-in son-in-law of lowly birth always seemed so unfathomable to Qiu Mu-Qi.

Ye Fan had been the most formidable person he had ever had to deal with.

Qiu Mu-Qi couldn't help but wonder if such a person would really die this easily.

"Mu-Qi, you're really being worried for nothing. That useless coward was one of those who protected his wife like some madman. If he weren't dead, then why didn't he appear when Qiu Mu-Cheng was chased out of Mount Yunding Villa by Fenghua Group?"

"Besides, even if that useless bum were still alive, what can he do? Mufan Group has already collapsed! Everything that he used to be able to rely on is gone! Even if Ye Fan weren't dead, he wouldn't have any power to get all of this back!"

"On top of that, do you think he'd dare to come back here? As far as I know, Fenghua Group is owned by Lu Ming-Feng and Xur Shao-Hua. Both of these men come from incredibly powerful families! And Ye Fan? He's supposedly the leader of Jiangdong, but he's really more like some gangster boss. Even if I give him another ten clones, he wouldn't dare to return to Jiangdong and try to attack Fenghua Group!” Qiu Mu-Ying's cold laughter resonated loudly.

But immediately after she finished speaking.

HUUU...

A strong wind suddenly gusted even though the air was still just moments ago.

The cold wind brought an iciness with it that filled the whole place in an instant.

Rocks and sand were sent flying and the waters in Yunwu Lake lashed about fiercely.

All the trees were rustling very noisily as a result.

"Oh my god! What's happening? Why is the wind suddenly so strong and so cold?" Everyone in the crowd began exclaiming in shock when the weather suddenly took a turn for the worse.

But while everyone was trying to figure out the weather, someone else looked into the distance and suddenly shouted, "Everyone! Look over there! What's that?!"

He got up, picked up the glass of red wine before him and used that arrogant look to scour the people before him.

"Today, I have organized a banquet here and invited all the rich and powerful of Jiangdong. I am very happy that all of you have come all the way here to show your support. Allow me to give everyone a toast first." Lu Ming-Feng then drank the entire glass of wine down.

After that, he got the waiter to refill his glass and he raised it again. "Half a year ago, Mr Chu held the Feast of the Sea and Sky here, and gained full control over Jiangdong. I know that a number of you are still hoping that Mr Chu will come back. You're all waiting for a miracle to happen, and you're hoping that Mr Chu will victoriously return. But it's too bad - Mr Chu is already dead."

"The era that belonged to Mr Chu has already passed. From now on, Mr Chu will no longer exist and Mufan Group is no more. Jiangdong has a new leader! The 18 cities of Jiangdong will listen to only one voice from now on! That voice is mine, Lu Ming-Feng's! From today onwards, I shall be the King of Jiangdong!"

Lu Ming-Feng raised his glass again as he spoke proudly.

The dominance and conceit in his heart was all mixed into the wine in this glass.

He threw his head back and finished the wine in one mouthful again.

After that, the leader of Nanquan, Baldy Liu, was the first to stand up and clap in support of Lu Ming-Feng. "What excellent words! Mr Lu is definitely the right person to be the King of Jiangdong. That Mr Chu was nothing but some young hooligan, and Jiangdong has endured him long enough.

The Liu family of Nanquan is willing to acknowledge Mr Lu as our leader!" said Baldy Liu respectfully as he bowed and cupped his fists towards Lu Ming-Feng.

"Baldy Liu! You fair-weathered bastard!"

"Mr Chu treated you well, but now you're the first to turn on him?!"

"Aren't you afraid that Mr Chu might really come back alive?”

Li Er, Lei San and Chen Ao intended to combine forces and go up against Fenghua Group, so when they saw Baldy Liu actually side with Lu Ming-Feng at this point, they immediately started shouting at him angrily.

"Master Er, stop trying to use Mr Chu to pressurize me. Mr Chu is already dead, so his era is over. One will only be able to shine when one finds a good leader. And now, Young Master Lu is the leader of Jiangdong!"
