A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)

Chapter 70 The Petrified Sheng Tian

Inside the restaurant.

Ye Fan continued to stand there composedly. In the lobby, it felt like his rage-filled words were still

reverberating through the air.

Meanwhile, Chen Ao was thunderstruck by the turn of events. Nobody knew just how shocked he had

been, when Ye Fan tossed him the piece of jade engraved with the blood-red "Chu" character.

Chen Ao's mind was in turmoil, as if somebody had dropped a giant rock in it and caused huge waves

to appear.

The arrogance and anger he had shown Ye Fan was gone in an instant, like smoke in the wind.

At this moment, Chen Ao was panicking. He dared not say anything, as he stepped forward with a face NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.

as white as sheet.

In the next moment, under the shocked gazes of everyone present, the kingpin who ruled over both

Jianghai and Jiangdong suddenly knelt in front of Ye

Fan.

And then, Chen Ao's voice rang out reverently in the restaurant. "Young Master has honored us with

your presence. Please allow me to pay my respect to you."

"Just now, it was my fault for failing to recognize and offending you. I truly deserve to die many times

over. Young Master, I will accept your punishment!"

Dead quiet-

The place went as silent as a graveyard.

In the restaurant, Chen Ao was prostrating himself on the floor and paying respect to Ye Fan in a panic.

His reverent voice rang out like thunder, and shocked everyone present.

Many in the crowd were dumbfounded.

Meanwhile, Sheng Tian was staring at the scene unfolding before him in disbelief. He was now in a

predicament.

As for the bodyguards who had pointed their guns at Ye Fan, they were lamenting inwardly. Cold sweat

was pouring down their backs, and they could barely hold their guns properly.

Good heavens!

What kind of person had they just offended?

"You may get up. This is our first meeting, so it is only natural that you do not recognize me."

"All these years, you have been running Jiangdong on my behalf. It must have been hard on you."

Ye Fan had been living in hiding for the past ten years. During this period, only Han, the elderly butler,

had been in direct contact with him. It was only natural for the other followers, such as Li Er and Chen

Ao, to not recognize Ye Fan. And that was why Ye Fan had no intention of blaming Chen Ao.

"No no, it is not difficult at all. It is my honor to be able to serve Young Master." "Eight years ago, if it

weren't for Young Master's timely assistance, I would have perished then. And I, Chen Ao, would not

be where I am today."

"Young Master, you are my greatest benefactor. I have always remembered and never dared to let

myself forget the help you have rendered me. All these years, I have been hoping for a day when I

would be able to serve you and repay your favor."

As Chen Ao knelt on the floor, he spoke words that were filled with reverence and gratitude.

Ye Fan nodded. "You are indeed a warmhearted and honorable man. It seems that I have not erred in

my judgement. Now, get up. And do something about these small fries. It upsets me to look at them."

To the "small fries", Ye Fan's soft voice sounded like the ringing of a death knell.

"Young Master, don't worry. Regarding what just happened, I will handle it to your satisfaction. Please

go upstairs and wait there." Chen Ao respectfully invited Ye Fan to move to the floor above.

"What are you standing there for?"

"Get your ass over here now!"

"You asshole! You nearly got me into big trouble~"

Chen Ao turned his head and started screaming at Sheng Tian.

The latter was trembling all over and swaying unsteadily on his feet. A torrent of cold sweat poured

down his back, as icy fear gripped his heart. Meanwhile, Mr. Du was panicking inwardly and his face

had turned an unhealthy shade of green.

"Mr. Sheng, what... what..." Mr. Du was also trembling as he looked at Sheng Tian, who was standing

just nearby.

Sheng Tian had a pained look in his eyes as he replied, "Damn it. I think we are in big trouble-"

Who would have thought that the ordinarylooking young man would be so powerful, that even Master

Ao had to prostrate before him.

"Damn it! Who the hell did I offend today?"

Just then, Sheng Tian looked terribly pale.

"I have been ruling the central district for nearly ten years. Who would have thought that I would meet

my end at the hands of a young man~"

Sheng Tian sighed. The ambiguous expression on his face made it difficult to discern if he was crying

or laughing.

"Mr. Sheng, how... how about we make a run for it? The bald-headed Mr. Du, who was shivering and

wobbling in fright, asked in a whisper.

But Sheng Tian shook his head and sighed. "Make a run for it? If Master Ao has no intention of letting

us go, do you think we will be able to do so?"

When he heard this, Mr. Du fell into the depths of despair.

Are we going to die today?

"Shit! It's all your fault! You stupid bitch!"

"Because of you, Mr. Sheng and I have offended that person!"

Mr. Du was ready to cry. When he turned around, he pulled Xiao-Fang's hair and started beating her.

Just then, Mr. Du truly felt like killing this woman.

Today's events happened because of her.

If it weren't for her, they would not have offended that person!

But it was already too late for regrets, now that things had come to this.

In the end, both Sheng Tian and Mr. Du braced themselves and went upstairs.

"Mr. Chu, what happened earlier was just a misunderstanding." "I didn't know you were following

Master

AO."

"No, I meant I didn't know Master Ao was following you."

Ye Fan was sitting inside one of Shengtian Restaurant's luxurious dining rooms, and quietly enjoying

his tea.

Meanwhile, Sheng Tian was looking dispirited as he said his apology with his head bowed. Cold sweat

was pouring down his face, and the awe-inspiring aura he had earlier was now gone.

"What did you just say? Come over here and repeat it to me." Ye Fan lifted his cup, took a sip of tea

and smiled lightly.

Sheng Tian nearly wet his pants when he heard the familiar line. As sweat continued to pour down his

face, he smiled bitterly and said, "Mr. Chu, please don't do that to me. I cannot bear the burden of

disrespecting you."

"I... I... I am truly sorry for what I have done," Sheng Tian said as sweat continued to pour down his

face.

"What? Could you repeat yourself? I didn't catch that." Ye Fan was still smiling. Meanwhile, Chen Ao

was respectfully refilling Ye Fan's tea cup.

"I~l~" Sheng Tian was about to burst into tears. If you wish to beat or kill me, then just say so! Why are

you repeating the same line I used earlier? You just want to torture me, right?

"Mr. Chu, please don't be like this."

"It was really a misunderstanding just now. If I had known Master Ao was your follower, I would not

have dared to show off in front of you! I would rather get beaten to death or jump off this building!"

Sheng Tian said as he trembled in fear.

What are people most afraid of? The unknown.

At this moment, Sheng Tian felt like he was a prisoner awaiting judgement. He had no idea what sort of

ending was waiting for him.

"What? What did you say? Care to repeat yourself?” Ye Fan ignored Sheng Tian's panicked pleading

and continued to smile.

Finally, the suspense proved too much for Sheng Tian to bear and, with a bang, he went down on his

knees in front of Ye Fan.

"Mr. Chu, if you wish to beat or punish me, please just say so. I will accept any punishment. But please

don't be like this."

Meanwhile, Chen Ao was also trying to persuade Ye Fan to change his mind. "Young Master, it was

Sheng Tian's fault. But he really did not mean to offend you today. And he is still needed in the central

district. So Young Master, perhaps..."
