A Dish Best Served Cold Chapter 1605

 Yanjing.


        It was late at night and Xu Lei was still in his study dealing with company affairs.


        Suddenly, someone pushed the door and barged in.


        "General Xu, something has happened in Jiangdong."


        "Miss Qiu, has been kidnapped."


        "The demand is to see Mr. Chu within three days."


        "Otherwise, a killer will be laid on Miss Qiu."


        Assistant Lin Wenjing's pretty face was pale as she spoke anxiously to Xu Lei.


        The words were filled with panic.


        When Xu Lei heard this, she was undoubtedly shocked as well.


        "What?"


        "Mu Orange has been kidnapped?"


        "When did it happen?"


        "How many days until the three-day period?"


        In shock, Xu Lei got up expressively and asked several questions in a row.


        Lin Wenjing looked at Xu Lei and whispered back, "One more, one more day."


        Pop~


        The pen in her hand quietly fell to the ground.


        Xu Lei's face turned white, and in panic, she instantly got up and left.


        "Prepare the car, go to Yunzhou."


        Although Xu Lei and Qiu Mu Orange, did not have a deep friendship.


        However, Qiu Mu Orange was Ye Fan's married wife.


        This alone was enough for Xu Lei to give her all to protect her.


        "Also, immediately contact the Xue family lords and ask them to bring someone to Jiangdong as well, to make peace with me."


        At this critical moment, Xu Lei remained calm and made all the arrangements in an orderly manner.


        Soon, there were a dozen luxury cars in Yanjing, tearing through the night like sharp swords, speeding towards Jiangdong.


        A similar scene was not only played out in Jiangdong.


        All over the country, people had heard the news.


        Thousands of people from all walks of life in Jiangbei and Jiangnan, as well as from the military and martial arts circles, travelled to Yunzhou like a hundred rivers converging on the sea.


        As the saying goes, one hair will move the whole body.


        Meng did not even dream that her anger would inadvertently cause such a huge ripple throughout the whole of Yanxia, attracting the attention of the whole country.


        The business world, the military world, and even the martial arts world, all the bigwigs from all walks of life came competing.


        After all, Mr. Chu's name is famous all over Jiangdong.


        How could the rich and powerful in the province not be concerned?


        As for those who came from other provinces, they were mostly martial artists.


        There was the battle in Jiangbei, and then there were the ones who broke into Yanshan alone.


        Ye Fan's name had long spread throughout the Yanxia martial dao.


        Of course, it wasn't a good reputation.


        A rising star like Ye Fan would have had a hard time gaining recognition from the strongest of the older generation.


        Plus, Ye Fan had first destroyed the Lu family and then broke into Yan Mountain.


        All these excesses had left an extremely bad impression on the old generation of martial arts practitioners.


        Arrogant, rebellious and unruly were the biggest impressions of Ye Fan in the entire Yanxia Martial Dao.


        Now that Ye Fan's wife had been arrested, those who gloated in the martial arts world far exceeded those who sympathised.


        Even the Martial God Temple at the top of Yanshan Mountain, the Fist Emperor and others, after learning of Ye Fan's wife's accident, surprisingly maintained an attitude of not caring about it.


        "My Martial God Temple is the highest authority in the country's martial dao, ruling over the nation's martial dao."


        "It is not his Ye Fan's nanny, let alone some charitable organisation."


        "Such personal grudges are in no way within the jurisdiction of my Martial God Hall."


        "One's own sins will naturally be paid for by oneself."


        In the hall of the Martial God Hall, the Fist Emperor, who had learned of Jiang Dong's incident, said in a cold voice, ignoring the matter.


        "But Fist Emperor, Ye Fan is, after all, our Yanxia's Sealed Patriarch."


        "According to reason, my Martial God Hall has the obligation to shelter the relatives of the Sealed Grandmaster."


        "Now that Ye Fan's wife is in danger, it's always bad if we sit back and do nothing." Hao Tian Patriarch Tang Hao advised from the side.


        "There's nothing wrong with that."


        "He Ye Fan is hiding out on his own and not showing himself, so what's the hurry for a bunch of us outsiders?"


        "Moreover, even if we, the Martial God Hall, were to help, then we would have to wait until he, Ye Fan, couldn't carry the load."


        The Fist Emperor spoke indifferently, not having the slightest intention of helping Ye Fan at all.


        At this time, the staff of the Martial God Hall walked in again and reported, "Lord Fist Emperor, there is a man outside who calls himself Li Er, saying that he is a subordinate of the Peerless Patriarch and wants to see a few lords."


        "There's nothing to see, tell him we're busy." The Fist Emperor waved his hand, but excused himself straight away.


        "Hmph, that Ye Fan may not even be qualified enough to see me."


        "This lowly underling also dares to come and beg to see us?"


        Fist Emperor Mo Kucheng sneered, but he simply didn't care about someone as famous as Li Er.


        "We have already spoken."


        "But he still won't leave and insists on seeing you all."


        "Moreover, he has been waiting outside for almost two days." The staff member said again.


        "Is that so?" Mo Kucheng let out a backhanded laugh, "Since he is willing to wait, then let him wait and go."


        "We have no time to deal with such idle people as we are busy with our day-to-day business."


        Mo Gucheng said indifferently, the touch of contempt and loneliness in his words, undoubtedly extremely distinct.


        An old man underneath Yanshan Mountain, covered in dust, had a very ugly face, and was in a hurry.


        It had been two days, and tomorrow was the last day.


        But there was still no news from Ye Fan.


        As for his side, there was no progress at all.


        Li Er had thought that with Ye Fan's reputation, the Martial God Temple would have to see him even if he had to.


        Li Er might not be able to say that he was nothing in front of these supreme powers.


        But Ye Fan, he must have some weight.


        But Li Er had never expected that this person from the Martial God Hall would not even give him a face.


        This undoubtedly made Li Er very helpless.


        Even though he had a thousand words in his heart, he simply had nowhere to say them.


        "Mr. Chu, Mr. Chu, where the hell are you?"


        "If you were here, would it be necessary for me, Li Er, to come here to suffer this foreign sin and look at people's faces?"


        At the foot of Yan Mountain, Li Er cried out with his old face in tears, as if he were a man in the water, helplessly crying out.


        In this way, the night passed quickly.


        In the blink of an eye, it was the last day of the three-day appointment.


        In the eastern part of Jiangdong, on the shores of Cloud Mist Lake.


        At this moment, it was already full of people.


        There were citizens from the neighbourhood and strong people from outside the area who had heard of the event.


        Thousands of people had surrounded the entire Cloud Mist Lake.


        In the middle of the Lake of Clouds and Mist, there was a small boat standing sideways.


        It was like a floating duckweed, floating on the vast Cloud Mist Lake.


        On top of the boat, there were two people.


        One of them, in a fluttering red dress, sat on the bed, with her eyes closed.


        The other, with lips as red as fire and eyebrows like ink, had a face that could be described as enchanting.


        This person is naturally Qiu Mu Orange, who has been captured for several days.


        Today, Qiu Mu Orange's pretty face was a little pale.


        For the past few days, they had been in the middle of this lake and had not eaten.


        At most, they had hydrated a little.


        Meng Evening Yu's martial arts system was naturally fine.


        But Qiu Mu Orange, a weak woman, was physically a bit overwhelmed.


        Her pale, pretty face was as weak and haggard as a candle flame in the wind.


        "Who exactly are you people?"


        "Where exactly did Ye Fan offend you all."


        "Why did you guys want to kill him."


        In the past few days, Qiu Mu Orange kept asking questions.


        But Meng Evening Yu, ignoring them, never paid any attention.


        Only at this moment, when she saw that Qiu Mu Orange was still concerned about Ye Fan, Meng Wangyu, who had been silent, coldly replied, "Even now, you are still concerned about him?"


        "I advise you to care for yourself."


        "If he doesn't come, you will only have one day to live."


        The indifferent words rang out quietly.


        But Qiu Mu Orange was not the least bit afraid and returned without changing her face, "I know that you won't kill me."


        "Eh?" Meng Evening Yu's eyes opened abruptly, "You're that sure?"


        Qiu Mu Orange nodded, "I can feel it, you are not a bad person."


        "The reason you kidnapped me was just to lure him out."


        "Even if he didn't come, you wouldn't have killed me."
