A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage) novel Chapter 729

After Ye Tian and Ye Ya finished their argument, they called for Ye Jian.

"Where did you throw the melon yesterday? Hurry up and retrieve it!" shouted Ye Tian angrily. The moment he caught sight of his nephew, he wanted to kick him.

Ye Jian was the one who instigated Ye Tian to chase after Lei Ao-Ting's sports car leading to the rear collision.

Now he was the one who tossed out the yubari melon worth tens of thousands of dollars. Of course, Ye Tian was furious!

"Hmm? Melon? What melon?" asked Ye Jian. He was a little lost since he had just come in.

"I'm talking about the two melons Ye Fan gave us at the hospital the other day," explained Ye Tian as he gnashed his teeth.

"Oh, those melons. It's been a few days, so I can't remember where I threw them," replied Ye Jian. He didn't bother remembering since it was just fruit.

Ye Tian slapped his head and shouted, "Stupid pig! How can you just forget? Think carefully now!”

Ye Tian kept urging Ye Jian.

At this moment, Ye Fan led Shin Yu-Xiang and his family in.

Since they were neighbors, they came to visit when they found out Ye Tian and the others got hospitalized.

Ye Jian suddenly recalled when he saw Ye Fan. "Uncle Tian, I remember now. I passed those dumb melons to Ye Fan."

What?

"You returned them to him?" asked Ye Tian as he instantly glared. Ye Ya yelped in surprise too.

But after the brief shock, Ye Tian and Ye Ya quickly felt relieved.

There was still a chance of getting the melons back if they were in Ye Fan's hands. If they were tossed into the bin, then all hope was lost.

Ye Ya looked at Ye Fan and hypocritically smiled as he said, "Fan, where are the melons you gave us at the hospital? We told Ye Jian to get you to help bring them home. Now that we are home, why don't you bring them over for us to enjoy?"

"Dad, are you confused or something? Didn't you tell me to throw those stupid melons out when Ye Fan gave them to you? When did you ever ask him to help bring them home?" asked Ye Jian quizzically without waiting for Ye Fan's reply.

Ye Ya almost passed out in fury and slapped Ye Jian with the back of his hand.

"Dad, what are you doing?" asked Ye Jian indignantly in an instant.

"What am I doing? I'm teaching you a lesson! I'm trying to have a conversation here, so stop interrupting!" said Ye Ya as he trembled furiously.

If they insisted that they wanted Ye Fan to help bring them home, Ye Fan might still return the melons intact. Even if he didn't, Ye Fan would still be at fault. But Ye Jian's interruption only served to confirm that they idiotically threw the expensive melons away.

Now even if Ye Fan didn't hand them over, he was blameless!

"You dumbass!" shouted Ye Tian furiously as he kept smacking his forehead and kept wondering why his nephew was so stupid.

Ye Fan shook his head and laughed as though he were watching them make a fool of themselves. "You didn't like the fruit I gave you. Now, do you regret it? Don't worry. It's only right for me to show filial piety to my uncles. Since you want them, I will give you some."

"Really?" asked Ye Ya delightedly. Ye Tian's eyes instantly lit up too.

To be honest, they genuinely wanted to try these fruits, which were worth their weight in gold.

But since when did Ye Fan treat them so well?

Ye Fan nodded and replied, "Of course, I mean it. But you were one step too late. We already ate one of the melons, and I gave the other one to Yu-Xiang's family."

What?

On the other end.

At Jingzhou People's Hospital.

Several military use SUVs came driving over.

A group of people dressed in military uniform entered the hospital and went to Lu Tian-He's hospital ward.

"Tian-He, what happened to you?" asked the leader worriedly in an instant with his eyes red when he saw all the injuries Lu Tian-He suffered.

This man held true power in the Yanjing army and was the chief military instructor, Fang Shao-Hong.

In comparison, Lu Tian-He wasn't as prestigious as this man in the army.

Or else, Lu Tian-He wouldn't have remained the deputy chief military instructor while Fang Shao-Hong got to be the chief military instructor.

"General Fang, you're here. I'm fine. I'm just injured but still alive. I just might not be able to go back to the army to work from now on," said Lu Tian-He as he shook his head and smiled. There was a sadness in the veteran who was past his prime.

After all, Lu Tian-He was getting on his age. Now that he suffered such serious injuries, it was impossible to recover fully even after he was discharged.

His career as a martial artist was probably about to come to an end!

Fang Shao-Hong sighed, "Tian-He, we can't do without you. If you aren't coming back, who's going to handle the decision making? Who's going to teach those youngsters? As you know, although I'm the chief military instructor, I don't know martial arts. I can't do without you when it comes to the training of the martial arts special troops!"

Fang Shao-Hong's eyes turned red. He was heartbroken about losing his right-hand man.

Lu Tian-He smiled and comforted him, "Friend, calm down. Since I am determined to retire, I have put some thought into who my successor should be. If he takes over my position, the Yanjing army's martial arts special troops will become the best in China!" "Oh?" asked Fang Shao-Hong in surprise.

Then he asked deeply, "Who is it?"
