A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage) novel Chapter 1607

“Mu... Mucheng?”

“How... how can this be Mucheng?”

“This is impossible! Impossible!”

Han Li and her husband were dumbstruck.

They widened their eyes, which were filled with a look of utter disbelief.

“What about Ye Fan? Isn't he Mr. Chu? Isn't he the head of Jiangdong? How can he call himself a man if he can't even protect his wife? I let my daughter marry him because I want her to be happy, not to suffer with him. Ye Fan! I want to look for Ye Fan! Ye Fan, come out right now!”

After that huge shock, Han Li kept shrieking Ye Fan's name in the crowd like a madwoman.

The fury and worry in her eyes were too obvious.

After all, parents only wanted the best for their children.

No matter how mean Han Li and her husband might be, they could never bear to see their daughter in danger.

After learning that Qiu Mucheng had been kidnapped, they were naturally worried.

Furthermore, Han Li and Qiu Lei had been working all their lives without accomplishing anything much.

Qiu Mucheng was their only pride and pillar of support.

If they lost their daughter, Han Li and Qiu Lei could barely imagine how they would survive alone in the future.

Overwhelmed by anxiousness, Han Li squeezed through the crowd with bloodshot eyes and screamed, “Ye Fan, you b*stard! Come out now! If anything happens to my daughter, I'll not let you off the hook!”

Her piercing insults echoed across the venue.

Han Li's voice was already very loud, to begin with. Despite the crowd speaking over each other, Lei San and the rest could hear her clearly from a distance away.

“What happened? Who's making such a huge ruckus? How dare someone speak of Mr. Chu in such a disrespectful manner? Bring the person over!”

Meanwhile, in a pavilion beside the lake, Lei San and the others were discussing something. A troubled look hung on their faces.

There were a few men in suits sitting beside them solemnly.

They were no strangers.

For instance, the burly and intimidating-looking elderly man at the side was Lu Tianhe, the military commander of Jiangdong.

On his left was Han Dongmin, who managed to rise up the ranks and become the governor of the province in his forties. He was a formidable presence in Jiangdong's political scene.

Beside him was He Lanshan, who had been evicted by Ye Fan after provoking him. He was forced to go to the countryside to help the poor, before resuming his original position in Jiangdong.

However, He Lanshan had been demoted to a position secondary to Han Dongmin's.

In the past, no one would have expected Han Dongmin, who used to be a measly deputy mayor, to have such a smooth-sailing career.

Others might not know why, but Han Dongmin knew the reason very well.

His current accomplishments and status were not only because of his integrity and concern for the people. More significantly, it was due to Ye Fan.

Now, a huge commotion had broken out over Ye Fan's wife being kidnapped.

No matter how important and significant other issues were, Han Dongmin could still ignore them. However, it was impossible for him to stand idly by as Ye Fan was his benefactor's wife.

Hence, after hearing about this, Han Dongmin traveled to Jiangdong overnight. He summoned Lei San and the rest to work out a plan to resolve this.

As for He Lanshan, he had been wanting to improve his relationship with Ye Fan for a long time.

Now that Ye Fan's wife was in danger, this was a perfect opportunity for him to mend his relationship with Ye Fan. Naturally, he tagged along too.

His daughter, He Yurou, followed He Lanshan there as well.

It had been months ever since the farewell at Jiangbei.

To Ye Fan, he might have already forgotten this gentle lady whom he had only met briefly.

However, for others, a single meeting was enough to ingrain the memory in their minds forever.

He Yurou was like that.
