A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage) novel Chapter 12

Flash-

A branched lightning bolt tore through the sky as the rain poured down in sheets.

At this moment, in his room at the Yunzhou City People's Hospital, Master Qiu had already woken up. The Qiu family members were gathered at his bedside and they did not look good. Wang Qiao-Yu was crying, Qiu Mu-Ying simply kept quiet with her head down and Chu Wen-Fei was kneeling apologetically in front of Master Qiu's bed.

After all, it was Chu Wen-Fei's gift that had sent Master Qiu into a fit of fright in the first place. The old man was in a severe state after the "surprise" and if he had not been sent to the hospital in time, he would have died.

Luckily, Master Qiu managed to recover from the shock. Otherwise, Chu Wen-Fei would have to bear a very heavy burden.

"Dad, please find a way to help Guang and Luo. We haven't heard anything from them for the whole night. Are they going to

prison? Will they face the firing squad?"

"Fei-Fei is still a child. She needs her father-"

The eldest daughter-in-law of the Qiu family was sobbing as she pleaded with her father-in-law. And Wang Qiao-Yu was also wiping tears away from her red-rimmed eyes.

Although the Qiu family had many offsprings, the only ones who could shoulder the burden for the family were just Qiu Guang and Qiu Luo. Once they were gone, the family would simply collapse.

"Stop crying!"

"You only know how to cry-"

"If you are going to keep crying, you can get out of my room!"

Wang Qiao-Yu and her companions in misery were frightened by this violent outburst and promptly shut up.

And then, Master Qiu took one look at the still kneeling Chu Wen-Fei and said gravely, "You can get up."

"Grandfather, I am sorry. What happened yesterday~"

Chu Wen-Fei was going to continue when Master Qiu waved dismissively and said, "You don't have to say anything. It's not your fault. Someone else is targeting our family."

Master Qiu was an old-timer so he had already noticed the suspicious points in this incident.

"What? Somebody is targeting our family?"

"Who could it be?"

"Qiushui Logistics hasn't offended anyone powerful recently. And in Yunzhou city, we don't have any business enemies either."

"So who's going after our family!"

Once again, Wang Qiao-Yu and the womenfolk went into a state of panic.

Their bodies shook as tears streamed down their faces.

"Shut up!”

"You women are useless here. You are only good for irritating me." Master Qiu was already in a lousy mood and listening to the cries of the womenfolk only made him angrier.

"Think carefully. Have you offended anyone?"

"Enemies don't just pop up out of nowhere. There must be a reason why they are targeting us like this." Master Qiu declared as he looked at his family.

Qiu Mu-Ying and Qiu Mu-Hong shook their heads. They did not remember offending anyone powerful. They did bully weaklings like Ye Fan, but weak people like him were unlikely to have the power to retaliate against the Qiu family.

“Wait, grandfather. It must be Qiu Mu-Cheng and that useless trash, Ye Fan!"

"It must be them."

"They attacked the Young Master of the Shen family yesterday and, right after that, these calamities started happening to us. It can't be a coincidence."

"The Shen family must have retaliated against us because of what Qiu Mu-Cheng and Ye Fan did. This is the Shen family's revenge against us."

Qiu Mu-Ying screamed out the facts that she had just thought of.

Chu Wen-Fei followed suit and said, "That's right. The Shen family must have prepared the coffin in order to exact vengeance on us. They are one of the toptier powers in Yunzhou and they have the backing of Master Li Er. In Yunzhou, there are few powers who are capable of orchestrating the events that happened yesterday. Very few, but the Shen family is definitely one of those groups."

"That bastard Ye Fan and that bitch Qiu Mu-Cheng! It's all because of them. It's their fault that my husband was arrested.

Dad, we must not spare troublemakers like them." The red-eyed Wang Qiao-Yu said viciously.

Everyone else followed suit and placed the blame on the couple as well.

Master Qiu had a sombre expression on his face as he coldly gave the order. "Go get that unfilial girl, Qiu Mu-Cheng, and bring her to me."

He was so angry that his voice shook as he spoke.

When Qiu Mu-Cheng received the call, Ye Fan was still making breakfast in the kitchen. As a live-in son-in-law, it was his job to take care of all the household chores.

"Mu-Cheng, breakfast is ready.”

A few minutes later, Ye Fan had already finished setting the table so he started calling Qiu Mu-Cheng and her family to breakfast.

"Stop shouting. Mu-Cheng has already

left."

"Eh? Where did she go? It's still early and it's raining too." Ye Fan asked with a frown.

Han Li replied coldly: "What? Must my daughter report to you whenever she goes out?"

Since his mother-in-law was angry, Ye Fan wisely kept his mouth shut. But Qiu Mu-Cheng did not return for the rest of the day, and that made Ye Fan very worried.

Evening came and still Qiu Mu-Cheng did not return. Ye Fan tried calling her but nobody answered the phone. His worry deepened as he looked at the pouring rain outside. Just as he was about to go look for her at the Qiu's family house, his phone rang.

The caller was Qiu Mu-Ying.

“Ye Fan, go to the Shen family manor and pick up your wife from the entrance. She's not a princess but she's as delicate as one. She only kneeled down for a while but she actually fainted on the spot? I am

speechless!"

"If you can't do the time, then don't do the crime. Now you've dragged us down with you. You guys are really jinxes!"
