A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)

Chapter 126 Now, Do You Believe Me?

"You bastard! Are you playing me for a fool?"

When he heard what Ye Fan said, Xu Bao's expression froze right away. A cold light glinted in his eyes,

while his face turned as sombre as a graveyard.

When the onlookers saw the look on Xu Bao's face, they knew that he was thoroughly enraged.

"This fellow has a death wish."

"He is still trying to show off even though he is backed into a corner?"

"Is he trying to get himself killed?"

One after another, many among the onlookers shook their heads and looked at Ye Fan with pity.

As for Li Xiao-Hong, she had already turned pale from fright. Right now, she was so worried that she

nearly burst into tears.

Xu Bao stared coldly ahead as he continued to sit haughtily in his armchair.

He waved a hand and one of his underlings threw a metal bat at Ye Fan's feet.

"I will give you another chance to stay alive."

"Pick it up and break your leg with it. You do that and I will let this matter slide."

"Otherwise, I will kill you where you stand!!!”

Boom~

Xu Bao's shout was filled with killing intent and it swept through the lobby like a hurricane.

The surrounding onlookers started to look panicky.

Only Xu Bao continued to sit haughtily in the armchair with his legs crossed. He had a cigar in one

hand, while his other hand was busy fondling his female companion's butt. Just then, he looked like a

king among men. And when his authoritative voice swept through the lobby, it

overwhelmed the crowd with awe!!!

Everyone had turned pale. Some onlookers in the crowd even advised Ye Fan to quit while the going

was good. After all, losing a leg was a much better deal than losing his life.

But Ye Fan smiled lightly. He shook his head as he looked at Xu Bao, who was still seated haughtily

and hugging his female companion.

"Once, there was a man like you. He too was sitting in a chair in the middle of the lobby. At that time,

he was also smoking a cigar and hugging a woman. And just like what you are doing now, he also tried

to show off in front of me. In the end, I kicked him like a ball. When I was finished with him, he had

several broken ribs. His name was Sheng Tian. Maybe you two know each other."

What?

When Xu Bao heard this, he swept his female companion aside and jumped out of his chair like a jack-

in-the-box.

"You bastard! I dare you to say that again!"

"Mr. Tian is a bigwig in Jianghai! A brat like you has no right to insult someone like him!"

Xu Bao flew into a rage at once. And he glared so hard at Ye Fan that his eyes almost popped out of

their sockets.

However, just as Xu Bao was about to order his underlings to beat the boastful young man to death,

the door to the restaurant was pushed open with a loud bang.

Whoosh~

The cold night wind found the opening and swept frantically into the restaurant.

Immediately afterward, a dozen or so burly men streamed in as well.

The new arrivals were all wearing suits and sunglasses. As they marched into the restaurant, their

black leather shoes clacked heavily on the marble floor.

Upright like pine trees. Swift as the wind. And brimming with an awe-inspiring presence, they entered

the restaurant.

"Where did these reckless fools come from?"

"How dare you barge into Mr. Bao's turf?”

When she saw the group of sudden intruders, Xu Bao's female companion started to lash out at the

new arrivals like an angry chicken. This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

But Xu Bao's face turned pale when he caught side of the group's leader. And without further ado, he

slapped his mouthy companion to the floor with a backhand.

"You stupid bitch! Shut your mouth right now!"

"How dare you insult these gentlemen?"

Xu Bao was so frightened that he nearly wet himself. After delivering his scolding, he hurried forward to

welcome the new arrivals.

"Mr. Shen, what an honor to have you here. Forgive me for not coming out to meet you."

Xu Bao bowed his head and bent his body forward; his demeanor was so respectful that it made him

look as insignificant as dirt.

At this moment, he could feel his heart quaking within him, as he pondered the reason for Shen Jiu-Yi's

visit.

Most people might not know, but Xu Bao knew that Shen Jiu-Yi was Master Li Er's most favored

subordinate.

Whether it was status or authority, Shen Jiu-Yi had much more of these than Xu Bao.

The latter was at most Master Li Er's errand boy.

That was why, upon meeting Shen Jiu-Yi, Xu Bao had greeted him in such a respectful manner.

But Shen Jiu-Yi simply ignored Xu Bao's respectful greeting. After pushing the latter aside, he led his

men forward to where Ye Fan was standing.

And then, Shen Jiu-Yi bowed at the waist and greeted Ye Fan respectfully: "Mr. Chu, Master Er

respectfully invites you to dinner!"

At this moment, it felt as though a giant rock had fallen into the sea and stirred up a tsunami.

After Shen Jiu-Yi had spoken, the dozen or so underlings behind him bowed in unison.

"Mr. Chu, Master Er respectfully invites you to dinner!"

"Master Er respectfully invites you to dinner!!"

Swoosh~

All of the dozen or so burly underlings bowed at the waist and greeted Ye Fan respectfully.

Their greetings coalesced into a stream and surged forth like a thunderbolt, shocking everyone in the

restaurant.

Deathly silence~

The deathly silence of a graveyard.

After Shen Jiu-Yi and his men had paid their respect to Ye Fan, the whole restaurant went quiet. One

could almost hear a pin drop in there.

Within the enormous lobby, one could only hear the sound of the cold wind sweeping through the place

and the reverberation of the men's greetings.

Li Xiao-Hong had already fallen into a daze.

Xue Lin and Yang Qian were staring at the scene with bulging eyes.

As for Xu Bao, he remained standing on the spot as if he had just been struck by lightning.

At this moment, all the onlookers were frozen to the spot.

Nobody spoke. They did not dare to. Just then, they could only feel the immense shock swirling in their

hearts.

In the restaurant, only Ye Fan's slim figure remained standing at ease.

His hands were clasped behind his back and he laughed haughtily. As a passing breeze stirred the

fringe of hair in front of his forehead, Ye Fan looked at Shen Jiu-Yi and gave an approving nod.

"Mm, this is thoughtful of Li Er."

After he had said this, Ye Fan lifted his head and looked at Xu Bao. The latter had already been

frightened out of his wits.

"Mr. Bao, what do you think?" Ye Fan asked with a light smile dancing on his lips.

"Just now, when I told you that Li Er has invited me to dinner, you didn't believe me.

Do you believe me now?"

"When I said you could not afford to offend me, you didn't believe me either. Now, do you believe me?"

Ye Fan's words were like knives stabbing into Xu Bao's heart.

At this moment, Xu Bao's body was trembling and he was so scared that he could hardly stand. Ye

Fan's shout had been so awe-inspiring that it forced Xu Bao to retreat several steps in a row. In the

end, he backed into the armchair and fell down together with it.

When Shen Jiu-Yi saw this, he immediately understood what had just happened.

A shadow came over his face and then he blew his top when he looked at Xu Bao.

"Xu Bao, you sure are gutsy. How dare you insult Master Er's VIP guest?”

"It lookes like you have a death wish."

"Since this is the case, please remember to have a decent last meal tonight.

Tomorrow, Master Er will send you on your way!"

"Please don't. Mr... Mr. Shen. I... I was wrong. It's all my fault. Please intercede

for me in front of Master Er. I really did not know that he is Master Er's VIP guest.”

"Mr. Shen, I... I don't want to die. Please don't tell Master Er~"

Xu Bao was so terrified that he had already lost all strength in his body. He was almost in tears as he

begged for mercy. To think the brat he had looked down on earlier would turn out to be the one to dig

his grave!
