A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage) novel Chapter 1612

“W-What's going on, Mr. Lei? Why has Mr. Chu become a criminal all of a sudden? What is this War God Castle? Why did you call them imperial commissioners?” Han Dongmin asked in confusion.

Although he had been promoted to the governor of Jiangdong, he still regarded Ye Fan as a god among men.

After all, Li Hongze had personally made a trip to Jiangdong just to award Ye Fan the title of “The Nation's Pride.”

The fact that Ye Fan received such treatment meant he had contributed greatly to the country, so Han Dongmin had always assumed no one in China would dare mess with him.

As for Meng Wanyu, he simply saw her as a crazy woman bold enough to kidnap Qiu Mucheng in order to get her revenge on Ye Fan.

Hence, Han Dongmin was very surprised to see someone marching into Jiangdong and accusing Ye Fan of being an enemy of the country.

“It's a very complicated story, Governor Han. All you have to know is that the War God Castle is the highest authority in the world of martial arts here in China. The power they possess is similar to that of government officials,” Lei San replied with his face all pale.

Han Dongmin knew nothing about the martial arts world, but he understood the last sentence very well.

If the War God Castle represents the government of China, then it was the government that branded Ye Fan as a national enemy!

“H-How did this happen? What's going on, Lei San? I remember the government awarding Mr. Chu the title of 'The Nation's Pride' a little more than a year ago, so how did he become a national enemy now? What on earth is going on here?” Han Dongmin asked while glaring at Lei San with reddened eyes.

He was really anxious as he had risen to power mainly because of Ye Fan's help, which made him one of Ye Fan's associates to a certain degree.

It was because of the government's respect toward Ye Fan that Han Dongmin career as a governor had been smooth sailing over the past two years.

Therefore, Ye Fan losing his title would also bring forth the end of Han Dongmin's career.

I'm well aware that nothing lasts forever. I've never expected Ye Fan's glory days to go on indefinitely, but I didn't think it'd end this soon! It has barely been two years since Ye Fan was awarded his title! Is this all really going to end now?

“Please don't ask me any further, Governor Han. I'm not too sure what this is all about either. You may reserve your questions for Li Er when he gets here later.”

Lei San and Wang Jiexi were both stressed out of their minds as the War God Castle's sudden intervention had disrupted their plans completely.

The two of them then turned toward Lu Tianhe in hopes that he could come up with an idea.

“Sigh... What could I possibly do in such a situation? I may have some influence in the military, but I'm just a nobody in the martial arts world. The War God Castle is the highest authority in China for a reason, you know? No one dares go against them because no one is capable of doing so. I got a little worried when Mr. Chu publicly challenged the War God Castle during the Jiangbei incident, but I had assumed they would leave him alone out of appreciation for his talents. Well, it looks like I was wrong about that. Seeing as these five Grandmasters have come all the way to Jiangdong to arrest Mr. Chu, it would appear that the War God Castle is determined to take action against him. I suppose that's why Mr. Chu rarely comes out these days. I used to think that the reason Mr. Chu rarely comes is that he fears the power of Chu Sect that is backing Meng Wanyu up. Now, I see that he is actually avoiding the War God Castle instead...” Lu Tianhe exclaimed helplessly.

The questions he had in his mind had all been answered.

At that moment, Li Er came rushing over looking extremely worn out.

Lei San and the others immediately ran up to him and asked, “What's going on here, Li Er? You were supposed to seek reinforcements in Yanjing, so how did you end up bringing a bunch of imperial commissioners instead?”

“Things aren't looking good for Mr. Chu. The War God Castle is serious about taking action against him,” Li Er replied with a solemn expression.
