A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage) novel Chapter 1144

The winds stirred the leaves on the ground.

The surface of Yunwu Lake rippled as the wintry winds swept past.

More people had gathered outside Haiyuan Restaurant.

The men that Wu Wei-Tao had summoned assembled outside the restaurant and flooded the area.

"Mr Chu, this marks the end of your terrible reign. Nobody's fortunes last forever. You've had a good and long reign in Jiangdong. You should be contented. Today is the day it ends!" Ferocity lit Wu Wei-Tao's eyes ablaze while his cold words rang out in the air. He raised his hand and issued an order to the police officers behind him. "Men, arrest Ye Fan and his accomplices. Shoot anyone who dares to resist arrest!"

Thousands of uniformed men rushed forward and made a charge at Ye Fan and his men.

The look in Ye Fan's eyes grew steadily colder until it threatened to freeze one to the spot.

He looked like a swordsman on the verge of unsheathing his sword. Once his blade was out, death was guaranteed.

Everyone was expecting a bloodbath to take place the next moment.

It was then that the unexpected rumbling of car engines reverberated in the air.

In the distance, numerous vehicles bearing the country's flag and a license number registered in Yanjing appeared and began speeding towards Haiyuan Restaurant without regard for traffic lights or blockades.

They shot down the roads like blades cutting through air.

The rumbling of their engines resembled the low growls of beasts.

The deafening sound filled the air.

"What's going on? Who dares to disregard our blockades? Are they tired of living?" thundered Wu Wei-Tao furiously when he heard the sudden roar of engines in the air.

He was about to instruct his men to arrest the men in the trespassing vehicles when he looked up and saw the license plate on the car leading the fleet.

JING A0002?!

He felt as if he had just been struck by a bolt of lightning. His eyes nearly popped out of his socket as he stood rooted to his spot.

"Is that...could that be..."

A terrible feeling churned inside Wu Wei-Tao as his eyelid began to twitch fiercely.

It took less than a minute for these cars to arrive at Haiyuan Restaurant and park themselves on the peripheral of the crowd.

The doors to the cars swung open. A group of men stepped out of the cars.

The man standing at the helm was a middle-aged man with graying hair and an intimidating aura.

An aura of authority exuded from his person as he marched towards the restaurant.

The forbidding air that Lu Cang-Qiong had exuded appeared to pale in comparison. Next to this man, He Lan-Shan was a shadow of a man.

Everyone reeled back visibly when their eyes landed on this new arrival.

The pupils of He Lan-Shan and Wu Wei-Tao contracted as shock and incredulity colored their faces. In fact, their eyes were bulging so much, they looked ready to pop out of their sockets.

A look of slight alarm flickered across Lu Cang-Qiong's face as well.

This man was the second most powerful man in China, the man who bowed only to one man while the rest of China had to bow to him. He was Li Hong-Ze!

Everyone knew who he was.
