"Mr Chu, that's really not advisable. The matriarch of the Meng family is the younger sister of the head of a powerful family in Yanjing. Back when Zhao Wu-Ji was practically invincible, he didn't dare to touch them either. This Meng family is like a beehive, so if you stab it, it's going to cause an endless string of troubles."
The three men in the room were all horrified at Ye Fan's words.
They were worried, so they all tried to advise Ye Fan against this.
"That's right, Mr Chu. This Meng family didn't make a good decision, but I think we could just give them a small warning first. That would be better than fighting them to the bitter end. After all, if the Meng family becomes desperate, I think we might suffer quite badly," said Chen Ao with a grim expression on his face.
Even though it was true that the Meng family's powerful backer in Yanjing might not win them in Jiangdong, the three of them still felt that going up against the Meng family might result in them killing off 1,000 enemy soldiers while losing 800 of their own.
Ye Fan had just become the king of Jiangdong and his followers were not stable yet, so his foundations in Jiangdong were strong. It didn't seem like a good move to do something so drastic at this juncture.
So the three of them tried their best to persuade Ye Fan against doing this.
But Ye Fan just shook his head. "A small warning? I don't have that sort of time. I will leave Yunzhou tomorrow. So within these two days, I must resolve this time bomb! After the battle at Mount Tai, all of Jiangdong acknowledged me as their leader. Since he refuses to follow me, then the Meng family can forget about staying here!"
BOOM...
Ye Fan's words were firm and loud, like the falling of rocks and gold onto the floor.
Ye Fan's authoritative aura filled the entire
place.
The three of them felt their hearts trembled and didn't dare to speak anymore.
They looked even more reverently and fearfully at Ye Fan.
There were days when the three of them wondered if this young man in front of them was seriously only in his twenties.
They probably only had a fraction of the boldness and motivation that Ye Fan had.
After Ye Fan had made this decision, he dismissed the three of them to carry out his instructions.
"Is there something else?" asked Ye Fan when he realized that none of them had budged.
Chen Ao and Lei San just smiled without saying anything while Li Er looked mournfully towards Ye Fan.
"Mr Chu, it's nothing really - it's about my
son.”
Li Er turned and looked outside the room as he bellowed, "You little bastard! Get in here now! How dare you offend Mr Chu!
I'm going to break your bloody legs!"
Li Zi-Yang had been kneeling outside all this while. When his father yelled for him, he quickly started crawling into the room with great fear in his heart.
The other person who crawled in with him was the son of Ma Fei, Ma Ming-Bo.
The two of them finally realized who on earth they had actually offended.
Ma Ming-Bo in particular, was so scared after finding out that Ye Fan was Mr Chu that he felt like his soul nearly left his body.
Now he knew why Xu Chang-Qing had been so respectful towards Ye Fan on Mount Yunyang.
And he also realized that he had been attempting to snatch Mr Chu's woman too.
Ma Ming-Bo was filled with horror and his heart nearly despaired.
He knelt before Ye Fan and couldn't stop apologizing and begging for mercy.
