A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage) novel Chapter 149

Inside the Mount Tai Hall, the spectators were struck dumb with shock.

Everybody was holding their breath in concentration and looking around in a panic.

Beneath the spectators' seats, Chen Ao, Li Er and Lei San were bowing respectfully. Their reverential words had converged together into a stream that resounded throughout the entire hall.

The respectful voices of the Jiangdong leaders rang around the ears of the spectators and their reverential "Mr. Chu, please save Jiangdong" shocked everyone to their core.

"Good heavens!"

"Cheng-Cheng, just who is this Mr. Chu? So many VIPs are paying their respects to him."

"Perhaps he really is a dragon among men?"

Su Qian was thoroughly frightened. This was the first time she was seeing such a grand set-up; half of the leaders of Jiangdong were all paying their respects to one person.

Meanwhile, Qiu Mu-Cheng had a panicked expression on her pretty face. Clearly, she had been shocked by the scene unfolding before her eyes.

But, for some reason, when she had heard Chen Ao and the other leaders shouting for Mr Chu, Qiu Mu-Cheng suddenly recalled the incident that had happened during her grandmother's birthday celebration in Jianghai. At that time, the Jiangdong leaders had also addressed Ye Fan as Mr. Chu.

Could Ye Fan and Mr. Chu be the same person?

But Qiu Mu-Cheng squashed that thought as soon as it appeared.

She smiled self-deprecatingly.

How could he be Mr. Chu?

If he were really Mr. Chu, then why would he be working at a restaurant?

Before this, Su Qian had already told her about seeing Ye Fan working at Sheng Tian Restaurant. At first, Qiu Mu-Cheng had not believed her friend but, later, after she had seen Ye Fan at Yunwu Lake, she could not help but believe Su Qian's story.

Now, she finally knew the truth. Ye Fan had been working as a server at the restaurant while she was at her office.

Actually, when she had found out the truth, Qiu Mu-Cheng felt more guilty than angry.

For the past three years, her husband had been working as a server in a restaurant. How could she not know this?

No wonder Ye Fan had rarely asked her for money, even though he was the one in charge of managing the household and cooking their meals. The truth was that he had been using his wages as a server to support the family.

While Qiu Mu-Cheng was lost in a daze, the hall continued to remain silent.

Everybody was waiting for the "Mr. Chu” to make his appearance; they were all looking around with tense and expectant looks on their faces.

Even Wu He-Rong, who was standing on the stone platform in the center of the hall, was looking sombre. His eyes gleamed sinisterly, like those of a tiger, as he swept his gaze around the area.

At this moment, the nearly ten-thousand strong crowd in the hall was waiting for "Mr. Chu" to show himself.

One second~

Two seconds.

One minute.

Two minutes~

In the end, five whole minutes passed by and still nobody inside the hall stood up.

The "Mr. Chu," whom everyone was waiting for, did not show up.

When Zhao Wu-Ji saw this, he burst out laughing.

"Hahaha~"

"Mr. Chen, there is no need to wait anymore."

"I have already told you. Your so-called Mr. Chu and that useless old man have already fled together in the same car."

"I did give you advice on this matter. That fellow is just an inexperienced brat."

"But you fellows insisted on pinning your hopes on him. What a joke!"

"And now what?"

"He did not even have the courage to step into the ring and has already fled in fear. Although my fighter was defeated, he at least had the courage to face his opponent."

"But what about you, Mr. Chen?" "You found two fighters, but both of them turned out to be cowards."

"Mr. Chen, you had better go get your eyes checked. There are so many people in Jiangdong, but you could only find rubbish."

"Hahaha~"

Zhao Wu-Ji ridiculed Chen Ao ceaselessly.

Zhao Wu-Ji had looked like a fool after his fighter's pathetic defeat at the hands of Wu He-Rong. At that time, Chen Ao and company had teased him mercilessly.

Now, the non-appearance of "Mr. Chu” had given Zhao Wu-Ji the opportunity to pay them back for the insults, and he was going to spare no effort to do so.

As Chen Ao listened to the gleeful jeers from Zhao Wu-Ji and his men, a heavily sombre expression came over his face.

Meanwhile, Ye Fan still had not showed up despite the long wait. This caused Li Er's and Lei San's confidence to be shaken.

And so, they turned to look at Chen Ao.
