A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage) novel Chapter 1154

"Ye Fan..." Qiu Mu-Cheng looked at Ye Fan with a pleading look.

It was obvious that she wanted to save the father and daughter.

Ye Fan waved his hand expressionlessly. "Alright, Mu-Cheng, you don't have to say a word. I know what you want to tell me."

He stared at Chen Ao, who was kneeling on the ground, and at Chen Nan, whose cheeks were stained with tears. After a long moment, he finally sighed. The murderous urges that he had felt earlier receded.

"Forget it. Chen Ao, I'm going to spare your life on Nannan's account. But you will not escape punishment. Leave Jiangdong and never step into these lands again," said Ye Fan coldly.

That was the punishment he had decided for Chen Ao.

Having said that, Ye Fan turned and left with Qiu Mu-Cheng.

The crowd was left with the sight of his retreating back.

"Mr Chu, thank you for sparing my life.” Chen Ao's head hit the ground loudly as he wept and kowtowed.

Mr Chu's words had sent tears streaming down the grown man's cheeks.

Chen Ao was filled with both guilt and gratitude towards Ye Fan.

He had not expected to live after what he had done.

Even though Ye Fan had cast him out of Jiangdong, at least he had spared his life.

"Dad, you're going to live! Fan spared your life!" Chen Nan wept tears of joy when she heard what Ye Fan had said.

She turned, threw herself into her father's arms and sobbed uncontrollably.

"Don't cry...everything's alright now," said Chen Ao as he hugged his daughter and patted her shoulder. His words of comfort

seemed to be directed at both his daughter and himself.

No one knew how he had survived the past few days.

They had been akin to the final days of a prisoner facing capital punishment. The devastation and hopelessness that he had endured while awaiting death must have been terrifying.

No one could preserve their composure in the face of death.

Even though Chen Ao had been a powerful man who had had command over countless men in Jiangdong, he was only still a man.

Fortunately, everything had come to an end.

The life of terror and utter fear had finally ended.

Chen Ao had survived.

The others smiled with relief.

Li Er walked up to Chen Ao and pulled both father and daughter up from the ground. He sighed. "Chen Ao, you've got a wonderful daughter. If she hadn't turned up in time and pleaded for your life, you would be dead now."

Lei San and the others gathered around Chen Ao and offered similar words of consolation.

After a brief moment of laughter, a forlorn look settled on their faces.

After all, Chen Ao had been cast out of Jiangdong.
