A Dish Best Served Cold 1432-1433

 Chapter 1432

What?


        Lou... Grandpa?


        "Is he... He is ...."


        Ye Fan's majestic and resonant voice resounded through this world.


        The janitor in front of him, however, was directly confused after hearing it.


        A pair of eyes, staring huge!


        Although he had just come to the Ye Family Manor as a janitor for only half a year, he had undoubtedly heard of the Ye Family's history of development.


        It is said that the previous Ye family was just a small, unknown family in the township below.


        However, because of the Ye family's generation, there was a real dragon.


        As the saying goes, if one person gains the way, the chicken and the dog will rise to heaven!


        It was the appearance of this true dragon that made the Ye family, a small family, leap to become the first family of the Maple Sea.


        Even the leading big brother of the Maple Sea, the majestic Lei family, had to respect the Ye family three times.


        And as far as he knew, the true dragon of the Ye family was the grandson of the Ye family's old man.


        Just as the gatekeeper was in fear, a group of people came over from the manor.


        Among them, the one in the front was the Ye family's oldest son, Ye Xukun, who was nearly eighty years old.


        "Xiaofan, is it really you?"


        "You son of a bitch, and you know you have a grandmother, don't you?"


        When he saw the young man outside the door, Master Ye's voice was trembling, and his eyes and eyebrows were almost filled with tears.


        He walked over and directly took Ye Fan into his arms, and his words were all missing and loving.


        This scene, however, stunned the gatekeeper next to him.


        His old face was terrified, and his lips were trembling: "My God, could it be that this young man... Is it really that true dragon of the Ye family?"


        The doorman's back went cold and his heart howled.


        The whole man was frightened, and his legs stiffened.


        I'm afraid I've messed with a big man, and I'm afraid I'll lose my job.


        However, the master obviously thought too much.


        With Ye Fan's identity, how would he care about these small things.


        ----  


        ----  


        "Fanny, where have you been for over a year."


        "Why haven't you heard from me at all."


        "I asked your mother, but she only said you were away on a business trip."


        In the hall, all of Ye Fan's close relatives were there.


        Even the two brothers Ye Tian and Ye Ya, who had just met with Ye Fan before, were at the old man's side.


        "Yes, I encountered some trouble and delayed."


        "It's all resolved now."


        Ye Fan smiled and didn't elaborate.


        "By the way, did you go to Yunzhou to see your mother?"


        "This Nee-chan is just like you. She's been away for months and hasn't given me a call."


        "She doesn't even care about this old man of mine."


        Speaking of Ye Fan's mother, there was some resentment in Master Ye's words as well.


        "Huh?"


        "Grandma, what did you say?"


        "My mom hasn't contacted you in months?"


        "What about Mu Orange?"


        "Have you been in contact with my wife, Mu Orange?"


        Ye Fan heard a few things that were wrong, and his eyebrows immediately furrowed.


        "You said Mu Orange ah."


        "Before your mother left, she did come to visit me."


        "That child Mu Orange is sensible, reporting good news but not excellent."


        "But I know it must be hard for her, a girl in Yunzhou, to support your career for you."


        "It's good to bring your mother over, so she can take some of the work off her plate."


        "Save the trouble of tiring someone's girl out."


        "As for the business here in Fenghai, you don't have to worry, I'll let your uncles take care of it."


        "Speaking of which, Xiaofan, Grandma has to say a few words to you. Your uncle and the others may be a little negligent in their work, but behind closed doors, we are all family."


        "But I heard that you let a young man with a foreign name take the position of the company's top man today."


        "It's true that this matter is a bit under consideration."


        "Now, several of your uncles and your aunts are here, sit down and talk about this matter."


        Master Ye said, but suddenly talked about the company's affairs.


        Obviously, before Ye Fan didn't come, Ye Ya and the others chewed their tongues a lot in front of the old man.


        They couldn't suppress Ye Fan, so now they let the old man do it.


        "Grandpa, I don't want to talk about the company's matter anymore."


        "I only concern my mother and the others now."


        "You just said that you only saw Mu Orange before my mom left."


        "And after that?"


        "In the months after my mom left Maple Sea, did you still have contact with Mu Orange?"


        Ye Fan asked in a deep voice, his words somewhat anxious.


        Master Ye thought, "This, I don't have any recollection of it."


        "Maybe he called me."


        "I'm old, my memory is not good, and I have many children and grandchildren under my knees, so I can't remember who has called and who hasn't."


        "Forget it, grandma, give me your phone, I'll contact them now." At this time, Ye Fan finally realized that something was wrong.


        After all, with his mother's filial piety, it was extremely abnormal for her not to come to see his grandmother for a few months.


        Now that he thought about it, his mother leaving the Maple Sea for months without returning, this behavior itself was somewhat abnormal.


        Worried, Ye Fan immediately asked his grandfather for his cell phone and contacted his mother personally.


        As for Ye Fan's cell phone, he lost it in some battle long ago.


        To a martial artist, a cell phone is an expendable item.


        Even if it survived this battle, it might be destroyed in the next one.


        "Huh?"


        "Turned off?"


        "So is Mu Orange's!"


        "What's going on?"


        Ye Fan made several phone calls, but none of them got through.


        This situation undoubtedly deepened the worry in Ye Fan's heart.


        "Grandma, my mother hasn't heard from me in the past few months, and you haven't visited Yunzhou?" Ye Fan asked again.


        "Xiao Jian went to Yunzhou before, and I asked him to visit your mother."


        "Right, Xiao Jian?"


        Ye Ya spoke out at this time.


        Ye Jian nodded, "Well, I went to see, but I didn't see my great aunt in person."


        "I didn't even answer the phone call, I thought to myself that my great aunt was busy, so I didn't wait, I came back the same day."


        Ye Fan listened, but his frown grew deeper and deeper.


        He clenched his palm and asked again in a deep voice, "Then when my mother left, how did she leave?"


        "It was someone who came to pick them up."


        "Said it was someone sent by Mu Orange."


        "At that time, after receiving a phone call, Big Sister only went home to say goodbye to the old man and left by car."


        "Now that I think about it, Big Sister's departure at that time was a bit hasty."


        "However, I guess there was a cooperation to discuss, that's why I was in such a hurry."


        Ye Tian echoed the scene of that day and said slowly.


        "So, you didn't know the person who picked up my mother at the beginning?"


        "You don't know if my mom really went to Yunzhou or not?"


        Ye Fan's tone grew cold and his entire appearance gradually darkened.


        "This~"


        Faced with Ye Fan's words, Ye Tian and Ye Ya looked at each other, but had nothing to say in reply.



Chapter 1433

"Don't worry too much, Fanny."


        "Your mother and the others, they should be fine."


        "Otherwise, they should have already contacted us." Ye Ya was still being comforted.


        But at this time, Ye Fan was completely unable to calm down.


        His eyebrows and eyes were troubled, and he did not want to stay here for a moment.


        With a flash of his figure and a whoosh, he was out of the manor in an instant.


        "Grandma, I'm going to Yunzhou for a trip, so don't wait for me to eat."


        The condensed words came from outside the door.


        When the Ye family looked again, the figure of the young man was already far away.


        Overnight, straight to the land of Yunzhou!


        ----  


        ----  


        Phew!


        The wind was bitterly cold.


        The dense darkness, wrapped in bone-chilling coldness, whistled past Ye Fan's ears.


        However, the wind was like a knife, and the ice was cold to the bone.


        Ye Fan's footsteps, however, never hesitated a step.


        The anxiety and worry in his heart was as intense as fire.


        Although everything was still unknown up to now, Ye Fan's heart was full of anxiety and worry.


        But in Ye Fan's heart, there was already an ominous feeling.


        He had a feeling that something might have happened to his mother.


        Perhaps even Mu Orange might be in danger as well.


        Otherwise, it would not have been possible for his mother to remain silent for months.


        Now, even the phone can't be reached.


        Not only her mother's, but also Mu Orange's phone is offline.


        Is this a coincidence?


        Obviously not.


        From a few months ago, his mother's hasty departure.


        It was already a sign that something had probably happened in Yunzhou.


        Plus, her mother and Mu Orange both lost contact with each other for several months.


        All these signs indicated that something was wrong.


        However, Ye Fan couldn't figure out how many forces could threaten the safety of Mu Orange and the others, given his power in Jiangdong and the power controlled by Mu Fan Group, not to mention the entire Jiangdong, but even if you look at the whole country.


        Could it be that the bigwigs in Yanjing, the Lu and Xu families, are so determined to make a comeback after learning of their own troubles overseas that they are trying to make a comeback against the Mufan Group?


        Ye Fan thought like this.


        However, the moment this thought appeared, it was directly rejected by Ye Fan.


        After all, after the last Jiangdong catastrophe, the Xu family's power can be said to be in complete decline.


        Even the oldest son of the family was killed.


        The Xu family, even without the "lesser", is still struggling to survive, and even if they want to take revenge, they don't have the ability to do so.


        As for the Lu family, it is even more impossible.


        You should know that Ye Fan was personally conferred the title of "Heavenly Pride without equal" by the Yan Xia sovereign at that time.


        The weight of this "title" is so great that even the Lu family of Yanjing could not bear it in its prime.


        After all, it represented not only honor, but also a kind of "political" status.


        If the persecution of Peerless' family was revealed, it would be a fatal stain on the current head of the Lu family's career.


        This kind of behavior, even if the head of the Lu family had some sense, would never have been able to do it.


        However, if it wasn't these noble families, then who would dare to do it to his family?


        "Could it be that it is the King of the Indians, Burning Heaven?"


        After vetoing the forces of the secular world, Ye Fan undoubtedly then remembered the people of the martial world.


        After all, Ye Fan's enemies in the martial world are much more numerous and terrifying than in the secular world.


        But Ye Fan didn't suspect that Truman was responsible.


        Even though he had broken off his enmity with Tang Yun and was completely on the opposite side of the fence.


        But from Ye Fan's understanding of Tang Yun, she would never do such a terrible thing to someone else's family.


        Not only would she not do it, but she would also strictly forbid others in the Truman family to do it.


        So, after eliminating the Chu clan, the answer is obvious.


        It's the King of the Indians, Burning Heaven!


        This person, not only has the motive, but also the ability.


        A title clan master, if he insists on killing, even if Yan Xia has six titles sitting in the city, I'm afraid it would be difficult to take care of him.


        Thinking of this, Ye Fan's face undoubtedly became even more ugly.


        Deep in his heart, he was cold.


        Because, if everything is really as he expected, then his mother, and even his own wife Qiu Mu orange, I'm afraid that the fate of his own mother, and even his own wife Qiu Mu orange, is already more dangerous.


        More than half a year was already enough time for the title clan master to behead them countless times.


        "It's all my fault!"


        "I shouldn't have closed the door in the first place~"


        "I should have gone back to Jiangdong to recover!"


        ....


        "I should never have gone to America~"


        "I should have waited until the Cloud Road Heaven's Ultimate Formation was built before leaving~"


        .....


        Even if Ye Fan has not yet arrived in Yunzhou, even if everything is still just Ye Fan's speculation.


        However, his heart was undoubtedly in turmoil.


        He blamed himself, he felt guilty.


        He was terrified, he was afraid.


        He was afraid of arriving in Yunzhou and being separated from his loved ones by the tragedy of yin and yang.


        Ye Fan was so full of self-reproach that he thought he should have waited until he finished building the Yun Dao Heavenless Formation before leaving, or he should have sent a strong Dragon God to Yunzhou before leaving, or he should have returned directly to Yunzhou to recover after leaving America.


        In short, if he had made any of the above options, he would not have been so passive in his current situation.


        However, can he really be blamed for this?


        You know, before the trip, the God of War said to Ye Fan that the strongest power in the Americas is only a transformed power, not to be feared at all.


        Because of this, Ye Fan feels that this trip to America is just going to be a return trip.


        So, Ye Fan was a little negligent.


        Only in Yunzhou left the Green Dragon Battle Team a force.


        But who would have thought that the question that he and the War God thought was a gift, when done, would almost kill Ye Fan.


        All of these things were undoubtedly far beyond Ye Fan and the War God's previous expectations.


        If a person is not a sage, he or she can do nothing wrong.


        Even if he is as strong as the God of War, as Ye Fan, there are still times when a hundred secrets are missing.


        Of course, now is not the time to think about this.


        The most urgent thing to do is to go to Yunzhou first and find out what's going on.


        "Mom, Mu Orange, you must, be okay~"


        In the night, Ye Fan's heart was burning with anxiety, roaring in a low voice.


        The anxious words were shattered by the wind.


        At the same time, the speed of Ye Fan's feet was a few minutes faster again.


        Under the cold night, Ye Fan's speed was as fast as a stream of light.


        It was like a sharp arrow that plunged straight into the land of Yunzhou.


        ----  


        ---- 


        It was late at night.


        Outside of Cloud Peak Mountain, a figure, after a year, came back here.


        The figure was thin, and there was an invisible majesty in his profound eyes.


        Standing there, he looked as if he were standing on a mountain, and the dust was blowing.


        Yes, the young figure in front of him was Ye Fan, who had come from the land of the Maple Sea in a night raid.


        "Mu Orange?"


        "Mom?"


        "I'm back."


        "Where are you?"


        No one had yet arrived, but Ye Fan's anxious and worried call had already resounded throughout Genting Mountain.


        However, no one responded.


        Except for the dim light from the street lamps on both sides, the place in front of him was still silent and dark.


        When Ye Fan walked over, he found that the recently rebuilt villa in front of him had its doors locked tightly.


        Inside the door, there was desolation and darkness.


        It seemed that no one had lived there for a long time.


        Who would have thought that in just one year, the formerly prosperous and beautiful Genting Mountain would have been a world away.
