A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage) novel Chapter 292

In no time, Ye Fan and the rest reached the house of the deputy mayor.

Since he was a high-ranking leader in the city, he lived in a standalone bungalow arranged by the city administration.

The bungalow wasn't very luxurious, but it was pretty big. There were several uniformed guards patrolling outside the estate.

After all, this neighborhood was filled with other government officials, so the security in this area was particularly strict.

Even though Han Shao-Jie was the son of the deputy mayor, he still had to register his guests before he could bring them in.

"Wow, this is really a government official's house alright. If you don't know anyone inside, you probably can't come in at all,” remarked Shen Fei as he noticed how tight the security was.

Even though Shen Fei was close to Han Shao-Jie, he rarely came to Han Shao-Jie's house.

After all, Shen Fei knew that his reputation in Yunzhou wasn't the best. He had never gotten himself into serious trouble before, but he had gotten himself into small issues every now and then, so he was really afraid that if he went to the deputy mayor's house, he might never walk out again.

Ye Fan and the rest had already gotten out of the car.

There were several luxury cars already parked in front of the bungalow and Han Shao-Jie immediately frowned at this. "Mr Ye, it looks like my dad has already started to check the stones. We'd better go in quickly!"

Han Shao-Jie could tell that these license plates belonged to people from out of town, and figured that these cars were probably owned by those jadeite suppliers.

He thought that his father would be checking the rocks only in one or two days. He didn't expect his father to act so quickly.

Had his father already found some great master who knew about rocks?

Han Shao-Jie thought about these things as he brought his friends into the bungalow.

There were four or five middle aged men seated in the living room. They were all in neat suits and leather shoes with a tie. The way they spoke and moved made them look respectable and authoritative.

It was clear that everyone here was probably someone of high status.

The one seated right in the middle was wearing glasses and looked fairly scholarly and reserved, but that look of authority that belonged to a leader was very clearly displayed on his face.

Indeed, this man was Han Shao-Jie's father, the deputy mayor of Yunzhou, Han Dong-Min. Next to him was an elderly man with white hair wearing a tangzhuang. His eyes were slightly narrowed as he remained silent and looked like he was above the rest.

But Han Dong-Min was not upset by his behavior at all and poured tea politely several times for this elderly man, and looked at the elderly man with great respect.

There were nearly ten rough stones on the table in the middle of the living room and a red cloth covered them.

Just as they were conversing, the living room door was opened.

Han Shao-Jie came in with his friends.

"Dad, you haven't started yet, right? Phew! I'm glad I made it in time," Han Shao-Jie immediately breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the rough stones still placed neatly on the table.

"Hmm?"

Everyone in the living room was startled by Han Shao-Jie's sudden entrance.

Han Dong-Min immediately frowned. "Why are you here?"

"Get out! You useless fellow, can't you see that I'm discussing business with important guests? Is this a place where you can come in whenever you like?"

Han Dong-Min was really annoyed when he saw this useless son of his.

His son was never serious about working and kept hanging out with the equally useless son of the Shen family. Han Shao-Jie either wanted money from his father, or he needed his father to help get someone out from trouble. If his mother hadn't constantly protected him, Han Dong-Min would have broken this unfilial son's legs a long time ago.

Sometimes Han Dong-Min couldn't help but sigh. He had been a successful and upright man all his life, so how did he end up with a good-for-nothing as a son?!

And he could discover Yang jade and imperial jade?

Did this stupid son of his think that it was easy to fool him?

When it came to rock gambling, having a talent wasn't that important. The most important thing was to have experience. It was more important to have experience in going through thousands of rocks.

This Ye Fan was only in his twenties. What sort of experience could a young punk like him have?

But his stupid son was spouting nonsense about how this guy was the best in

Yunzhou and the best in Jiangdong!

Han Dong-Min just felt that his useless son had really embarrassed him this time!

"You useless brat! Get out now! Stop embarrassing me here!" shouted Han Dong-Min furiously. His angry voice echoed through the entire living room.

The rest of the men in the living room just shook their heads and laughed. They were clearly mocking Han Shao-Jie with their eyes.

They never thought that a sharp and intelligent man like Mayor Han would actually have such an interesting and unique son.

The elderly man had been silent all along, but now he actually scoffed.

"Young people these days really don't understand anything about humility. After reading a few books and touching a few rocks, you dare to call yourself the best in Jiangdong? My teacher, the King of Rocks of Jiangdong, Wei Fu, had discovered so much jade in his life, but even Master Wei had never been so boastful,” said the old man as he shook his head and smiled. The mocking and sarcasm in his calm words were very apparent.

After being embarrassed in front of so many people, Han Dong-Min couldn't stand it and his expression was very nasty.

He was so angry that he marched over to Han Shao-Jie and nearly kicked him. "You unfiIial son! Don't you find yourself embarrassing enough yet? Take your lousy friends and get out of here!”
