A Dish Best Served Cold 1384-1386

 Chapter 1384

It was just that no one knew what was going on beneath Lu Hua's smile.


        In the Genting Mountain villa, Qiu Mu- orange seemed to have learned of the news of the Martial Temple's arrival in advance, so she was waiting in the villa early.


        Of course, in addition to Qiu Mu orange, there were Li Er, Lei Laosan, and Wang Jiexi in the villa.


        As for the former King of Jiangdong, Chen Ao, he had already been driven out of Jiangdong by Ye Fan due to his mistake of standing in the wrong team during the last Jiangdong disaster.


        In the land of Jianghai, all the properties that once belonged to Chen Ao have been inherited by Wang Jiexi.


        Therefore, it can be said that the three people in the villa with Qiu Mu orange are all senior officials who have been following Ye Fan for a long time, and they are all proven power players in Jiangdong.


        During Ye Fan's absence, these three people were the ones who assisted Qiu Mu orange and managed the situation in Jiangdong.


        Without the help of these three people, it would have been impossible for a woman to manage such a large territory as Jiangdong.


        It was with the help of these people that the land of Jiangdong has now been run almost iron-clad by Qiu Mu- orange.


        All the family forces and groups of enterprises, all with the Mufan Group as their top priority.


        In addition, in order to co-ordinate the business community in Jiangdong Province and better control the rich and powerful merchants from all walks of life, a few days ago, Li Er, Lei Laosan and Wang Jiexi took the lead and invited the leading bigwigs from 18 cities in Jiangdong Province to form a Jiangdong Chamber of Commerce, with Qiu Mu- orange as the chairman of the chamber.


        It can be said that the Mufan Group has built a business empire across 18 cities in Jiangdong Province, covering the entire province.


        The entire Jiangdong Province has almost become Ye Fan's own backyard.


        Of course, the only reason why these things are going so smoothly, and why all the rich and powerful merchants are so submissive and willing to bow down to the Mufan Group, is because of Ye Fan!


        Zun Qiu Mu Orange, because she is Ye Fan's wife.


        And the group because it was created by Ye Fan.


        Ye Fan's name is an imperial presence in the entire Jiangdong Province.


        The place where Ye Fan is located is the place where everyone expects him to be.


        The Taishan Martial Arts Association, the battle of Dongchang Lake, and the thousand soldiers kneeling under the Haiyuan Pavilion.


        The young man, stepping on blood and bones, has completely convinced the Jiangdong group of men.


        Under such circumstances, Qiu Mu orange in the name of Ye Fan, no matter what he does, naturally no one dares to stop him?


        It's just that during this time, certain news about Ye Fan undoubtedly made Autumn Mucheng feel uneasy.


        Even in order to find out the authenticity of these messages, Qiu Mu Orange had someone contact Ye Yuyan's mentor, Army General Lu Tianhe.


        In order to find out the authenticity of the information, she asked someone to contact her mentor, General Lu Tianhe, in order to convey the concerns and anxieties of Ye Fan's family, just like the War God.


        It was for this reason that the sympathy group from the Martial God Hall came.


        However, when the answer really came, Qiu Mu orange was a little afraid.


        In the villa, the beautiful woman sat there, not saying a word, her face getting paler and paler, and between her eyebrows, there was fear and trepidation.


        All kinds of emotions were mixed in there, like an overturned bottle of five flavors.


        As if to ease the depression in her heart, she drank tea cup after cup.


        "Mr. Qiu, you don't have to worry."


        "Mr. Chu's good fortune will have its own face in heaven, and he will be fine."


        "Those rumors before are just rumors to catch the wind."


        "Besides, aren't the people sent by Yanjing to visit you already on their way?"


        "When the time comes, they will definitely bring good news to Mr. Qiu."


        Li Er and the others saw the fear and anxiety in Qiu Mu Orange's heart and were all smiles, reassuring from the side.


        Qiu Mu- orange nodded.


        However, the worry and fear in her heart did not dissipate.


        After all, she had been unable to contact Ye Fan for several months. It was even longer than the last time when Ye Fan had an accident in the Sun Country.


        This had to make Qiu Mu Orange worry a lot.


        Now, she could only pray that Yanjing would bring good news.


        Autumn Mucheng didn't know much about Ye Fan's matter.


        However, she did know that Ye Fan had been assigned by Yanjing to do something for the country.


        The company has been in the process of developing the new product for the past two years.


        ---- 


        ---- 


        "Hum~"


        At this moment, at the bottom of the cloud-top mountain, the sound of a car rang out.


        The low engine sound was like the roar of a wild beast, echoing on top of this cloud-top mountain.


        "Haha~"


        "Mr. Autumn, it looks like the person we've been waiting for has arrived."


        "Let's go, let's go and welcome them."


        "From what General Lu said, the people who came to visit this time are not idle people."


        After hearing the sound of the car, Li Er and the others got up at once.


        While laughing, they followed Qiu Mu Orange out to greet them.


        Sure enough, as soon as they walked out of the entrance of the villa, they saw two people wearing a stiff suit, strolling towards here.


        "Haha~"


        "I don't know if the two of you were sent by Yanjing to visit Mr. Chu's family."


        Li Er and the others hurriedly greeted him with a smiling face and a respectful question.


        "Well?"


        "What Mr. Chu? No recognition."


        Lu Hua frowned and returned in a cold voice.


        He then looked around and in an extremely rude voice, asked, "Isn't this the home of Ye Fan?"


        "Yes yes yes, exactly." Li Er nodded.


        "If that's the case, what about Ye Fan's family, why didn't they come out to greet them?"


        "Could it be that we're really allowed to go in and greet them?" Lu Hua spoke arrogantly and asked in a stern voice.


        "This~"


        Li Er and the others were at a loss for words, not knowing how to reply.


        At this time, Qiu Mu- orange came forward and politely said, "I am Ye Fan's wife, Qiu Mu- orange."


        "Are you two from Yanjing?"


        Qiu Mu Orange asked softly, so as to confirm the identity of the two.


        However, Lu Hua did not answer immediately, instead, he was slightly stunned after seeing Qiu Mu Orange.


        There was a slightly shocked look in her eyes.


        "I didn't expect that Ye Fan, that Ye Fan is ordinary in appearance, but this wife he is looking for is actually a natural beauty?"


        "Even the most beautiful woman in my Lu family is not even one point as beautiful as her."


        Lv Hua was secretly shocked at Qiu Mu Orange's beauty, which could be described as astounding.


        At the same time, he was also a little jealous and envious of Ye Fan.


        "I go, worthy of being a woman of a title clan, truly a natural beauty."


        "It can be said that a beautiful woman matches a hero, the ancients do not deceive me~"


        While Lu Hua was in awe, Lin Sicong behind him couldn't help but praise them directly.


        He smiled as he came forward to introduce them to Qiu Mu Orange.


        "Miss Qiu, we are precisely ordered to go to the land of Jiangdong to visit Sect Master Ye Fan's family."


        "These, are some of the condolences we have brought with us, please smile."


        As he spoke, Lin Sicong took out some of the gifts from the car and handed them to Qiu Mu Orange.


Chapter 1385

"On behalf of our family, Ye Fan, I thank you again."


        Qiu Mu- orange forced a smile and thanked her.


        Now that Ye Fan's condition was unknown and his life and death were unknown, Qiu Mu Orange naturally couldn't be cheerful.


        Even in the face of Lu Hua, who came from the Yanjing side, it was hard to smile.


        "Hey~"


        "That's not right, Miss Qiu."


        "This gift is for you, Miss Autumn, what does it have to do with Ye Fan?"


        "So, there's absolutely no need for you to thank him on his behalf."


        Hearing Qiu Mu-Orange's reply, Lu Hua, however, said with a smile.


        Compared to the cold and arrogant person who had just met Li Er and the others, Lu Hua was much more enthusiastic when he spoke to Qiu Mu Orange.


        His handsome face was piled with smiles.


        But Lv Hua's words made Li Er and Lei Laosan and the others sound a little wrong.


        And Qiu Mu- orange was also slightly startled, not knowing what to say for a moment.


        "Miss Qiu, we have come a long way, and you let us stand outside like this?"


        Qiu Mu Orange quickly apologized, "I'm sorry, I was negligent."


        "Please come in quickly."


        "We have already set up a banquet in the hall for the two gentlemen."


        In the middle of the conversation, Qiu Mu Orange and the others led Lu Hua and Lin Sicong to the villa.


        "Mr. Lv, Mr. Lin, you take your seats." In the hall, Li Er arranged the seats.


        "No need, I'll just do one with Miss Qiu."


        "I just have something to say to Miss Qiu, it's convenient to sit closer."


        Lu Hua waved his hand, then unceremoniously sat down against Qiu Mu Orange.


        Li Er and the others' brows furrowed, but they didn't say anything, and had to go with Lu Hua's wishes.


        After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Qiu Mu Orange got straight to the point and asked, "Mr. Lu, it's been several months since Ye Fan left home."


        "During this time, we haven't been able to contact him."


        "From what General Lu said, he's gone on a mission for the country."


        "I don't know if you guys have heard from him."


        "If he's busy and can't come back, it would be good if he could call me."


        Qiu Mu Orange asked Lu Hua with expectation.


        During this period of time, because of Ye Fan's matter, he had trouble sleeping and eating. He made many inquiries, but there was no exact news.


        Now, he could only hope on these people.


        "Miss Qiu, I'm not going to lie to you, this time, we have come for this matter."


        "However, before we say anything, you have to be mentally prepared ah."


        Lu Hua had yet to reply, but Lin Sicong, who was on the side, sighed and said to Qiu Mu Orange with heavy words.


        Hearing this, Qiu Mu- orange's originally fiery heart cooled down three points.


        "What's wrong with him?"


        "What the hell is wrong with Evan?"


        Qiu Mu Orange looked at Lin Sicong and asked anxiously.


        Lin Sicong sighed again, he did not conceal it, but said truthfully, "Miss Autumn, as far as I know, a few months ago, Grandmaster Ye Fan was so powerful in the land of America that he not only defeated the heroes of various countries with one man. There was also the supreme martial arts powerhouse of the Indian country, who beat and retreated."


        "Grandmaster Ye Fan, it can be said that he has defeated the immortal might of our Huaxia and the supreme spirit of our Chinese nation."


        "But unfortunately, at a critical moment, Grandmaster Ye Fan was attacked by a villain and eventually suffered a severe defeat, after which his whereabouts were unknown, and he lived and died unknown."


        "Our Chinese Martial Dao sent several teams to the place of the incident, searching hard for months, but they were too late to achieve anything."


        "So, we speculate that Grandmaster Ye Fan he, should have died for the country."


        Pah~.


        As soon as Lin Sicong's words fell, Autumn Mucheng's delicate body trembled violently. The red wine cup in front of her was also hit, shaken a bit, and then fell to the ground, shattering.


        The crimson wine juice wet Autumn Mucheng's long, snow-white skirt.


        The dazzling scarlet red was like fresh blood!


        "No way!"


        "A few months ago, Mr. Chu was able to turn the tide, trampling down two giants with one person, making thousands of troops kneel in worship and shaking the four corners of the earth."


        "Today, the emperor has named Mr. Chu as an incomparably proud man, and all the dignitaries in the four seas have bowed down."


        "It's only been a few months, how could Mr. Chu have fallen?"


        "You must be mistaken!"


        "You're the ones who got it wrong~"


        Not only Qiu Mu orange, after hearing this, Lei laosan and the others were also greatly shocked.


        Wang Jiexi stared at them, and Li Er even scurried up, his old eyes red as he roared at Lin Sicong and the others.


        Only Qiu Mu orange said nothing, her pretty face pale and flabbergasted.


        It was as if half of her three souls and six mortals were missing.


        "I know, it happened suddenly, and it's hard for you guys to accept it."


        "It's not just you guys, in fact, our Chinese Martial Dao also had difficulty accepting it at first."


        "So, we have been searching hard, longing for a miracle to happen."


        "But months of painstaking searching have yielded no results. It can be said that the chance of survival is already very slim."


        "If you don't believe me, you can ask Brother Hua."


        "This time, Brother Hua was also the one who experienced the person."


        "When Grandmaster Ye Fan suffered a serious injury, Brother Hua was there." Lin Sicong said again.


        For a time, Qiu Mu Orange and the others once again set their eyes on Lu Hua.


        "Hey~"


        "Miss Autumn, it's hard for me to understand your feelings."


        "You were born as beautiful as a flower, and at such a young age you have to stay home alone and be a widow, so it would be hard for any woman to accept such a bolt from the blue."


        "But life is like that, there will always be many hardships and setbacks."


        "Just like Grandmaster Ye Fan, he has exceptional talent and strength. Although I had only known Grandmaster Ye Fan for a few days, we had the same temperament and were as close as brothers, but who would have thought that in the end, my brother Ye Fan would be buried by the hands of a villain."


        "At that time, I could not wait to rush over and fight those thieves to the death. ,"


        "However, before he died, Patriarch Ye Fan was holding my hand and personally explained to me that after his fall, he asked me to take more care of you, the Ye family, and the Jiangdong foundation he left behind."


        "So, Miss Qiu, don't worry, even if Brother Ye Fan is gone in the future, I, Lu Hua, will never let anyone, bully you, bully Brother Ye Fan's family."


        Lv Hua's words were so touching that they almost brought tears to his eyes, and he looked completely like a man of brotherly love.


        An outsider could not see any falsehood at all.


        So much so that Li Er and the others believed his words and grieved, "This...". So, Mr. Chu, has he really fallen?"


        Bam.


        Li Er sat paralyzed in his seat, only to feel that the sky had collapsed.


        Qiu Mu orange's bright beautiful eyes, too, gradually dimmed.


        It was as if the world had no color.


        I thought that the arrival of the people from Yanjing would bring them Ye Fan's whereabouts.


        But to their surprise, what Qiu Mu Orange and the others were waiting for was the news of Ye Fan's death!


Chapter 1386

It was dusk.


        The sun was setting, and the rays of the setting sun dyed the entire sky red.


        In the breeze, the lake rippled with clouds and mist.


        The surface of the lake was like a sapphire, reflecting the light of ten thousand feet of sky.


        Under the reflection of the lake's surface, the entire Genting Mountain Villa was like being in a dreamy heavenly light.


        Awe-inspiring, yet misty.


        One would be deterred!


        At this time, Lu Hua and Lin Sicong had already left.


        Under the arrangement of Li Er and others, they checked into the most luxurious hotel in Yunzhou.


        In the villa, only Qiu Mu orange, Li Er, Lei Laosan and other henchmen were left.


        It's been an afternoon, and since learning the news of Ye Fan's fall from Lu Hua and the others, Qiu Mu- orange just sat there, not saying a word.


        Her pale, pretty face showed how much torment and grief she was feeling inside.


        "Mr. Qiu, are you okay?"


        Li Er, Lei Laosan and the others have calmed down and slowly accepted the reality of what happened to Ye Fan.


        However, Qiu Mu- orange's condition was extremely worrying to Li Er and the others.


        Qiu Mu-Orange shook her head and finally spoke out, "I'm fine."


        "You all go out, I want to be alone."


        Li Er and the others nodded: "That's fine. But Mr. Qiu, I don't think we can believe everything those two said. Especially that Lu Hua, I always feel that he was born with a villainous look. Instead, we can believe more in the words of that Lin Sicong."


        "Didn't that Mr. Lin Sicong Lin say that everything now is just their inference."


        "Mr. Chu's body has not been found, which means, Mr. Chu might still be alive."


        "Just like last time."


        "Everyone thought that Mr. Chu had fallen, but in the end, he came back alive, didn't he?"


        "In short, you have to be strong, Mr. Qiu."


        "Even if Mr. Chu is no longer with us, the three of us will still support you and protect this foundation of Mr. Chu's in Jiangdong."


        Li Er was sincere and said to Qiu Mu Orange in a bitter voice.


        Qiu Mu-Orange nodded, and then thanked them.


        "Well then, we'll leave first. I won't disturb Mr. Qiu to rest."


        "If you need anything, just contact us."


        After saying that, Li two or three people also left the Genting Mountain villa.


        As everyone left, only one person was left in the villa, Qiu Mucheng, who no longer had to hide her identity.


        At this time, she no longer needed to conceal her emotions, lying on the table, sobbing out her bitterness.


        In that miserable voice of bitterness, there were grief, fear, and confusion, which could be described as all kinds of fear.


        It's like, a flower sheltered by the mountains, suddenly one day, unsupported exposed under the firmament.


        After going out, Lei laosan also had a feeling on the road.


        "There are really unpredictable clouds in the sky, and there are misfortunes in the world."


        "Who would have thought that it has only been a few months of light, but Mr. Chu has had such a change of heart?"


        Lei laosan sighed repeatedly.


        Li Er was silent for a long time, but he said in a deep voice.


        "Perhaps this is the martial world that Mr. Chu is talking about."


        "Crisis and peril are the norm in the martial world."


        "It is precisely because Mr. Chu alone has been able to ward off all these trials and tribulations that we have the stability and prosperity of Jiangdong."


        "Only, without Mr. Chu, in the future, who will guard the greatness of my Jiangdong?"


        Li Er's old eyes were red, looking far into the sky, and his deep old eyes were filled with sorrow.


        After all, Li Er was once a slave of the Chu family, and his understanding of the martial world was deeper than that of Lei Laosan and Wang Jiexi.


        In normal days, under the control of the three of them, the land of Jiangdong was well organized, prosperous and stable.


        However, with their finesse, the only people they could calm down were the rich and powerful merchants.


        In front of the real martial arts powerhouses, they were simply unbeatable.


        If another person like Xu Shaohua, Lu Mingfeng, and others who held power, Li Er and the others still didn't have any confidence that they could stop them.


        "Hey~"


        "Now I only pray that the Chinese martial arts aspect can really shelter Mr. Chu's widow and foundation, as Lu Hua and the others have said."


        Li Er said worriedly.


        Buzz~.


        With the sound of a car roaring, Li Er and the others drove away.


        However, the mood of the three of them was obviously very low, as if they had no backbone.


        Although, when Ye Fan was alive, he didn't care about the affairs of Jiangdong.


        However, to Li Er and the others, as long as the young man was alive, they would feel stable and secure in their hearts.


        Now that they know that Ye Fan will most likely fall, these old men are undoubtedly a little uneasy and terrified in their hearts.


        "Second Master, what's wrong with you?"


        "As soon as you get back, you look like you're upset?"


        In the Li family manor, Jinbao and Yinbao looked at the depressed Li Er and felt puzzled.


        Li Er sighed and slowly said.


        "It's nothing, but I just suddenly found myself, somewhat inseparable from Mr. Chu."


        "Haha~" Jin Bao suddenly laughed, "Second Master, it's not that you can't live without Mr. Chu, but the entire Jiangdong, can't live without Mr. Chu ah."


        "Well, you're right, if Jiangdong wants long-term stability, it really can't do without Mr. Chu. Once Mr. Chu is gone, I'm afraid the long-peaceful Jiangdong will start another bloody storm." Li Er said grudgingly.


        "Eh?"


        "Second Master, what, did something happen to Mr. Chu again?"


        As if he had sensed something in Li Er's subtle emotions, the two brothers, Jinbao and Yinbao, looked over in confusion.


        "Okay, don't ask what you shouldn't ask." Li Er sternly scolded, the two brothers immediately shut up.


        "By the way, Ziyang and the others went out for training, have they returned yet?"


        "Call him and tell them to have the Green Dragon Battle Team hurry back to Yunzhou and station themselves in Villa Genting Mountain."


        "Raise an army for a thousand days."


        "Tell them that the time has come when they are needed."


        "Forget it, you all go down, I'll contact them myself."


        Li Er was afraid that Jin Bao, Yin Bao and the others wouldn't be able to explain clearly, and decided it was better to make the call to his son Li Ziyang himself.


        Ever since Ye Fan left Yunzhou, Green Dragon, after recuperating for some time, naturally did not idle, but went out to practice according to the training plan left by Ye Fan.


        Now, it is very likely that something really happened to Ye Fan.


        In order to prevent any changes, it is necessary to recall the Green Dragon to guard the peak of the Cloud Tower.


        After all, Ye Fan was willing to break away from the Jiangdong Military Region, but he also tried to protect the Green Dragon and train them.


        What did he mean by this?


        The purpose is to serve as a strategic force to stabilize the situation in Jiangdong while Ye Fan is away, and to protect Ye Fan's wife, Qiu Mu Orange.


        Now, it is time for the Green Dragon, which has been lying in bed for a long time, to play its role.


        At the same time when the Green Dragon team was urgently recalled to Yunzhou, Lu Hua and Lin Sicong, who were staying at the hotel, were enjoying a sumptuous dinner at the hotel.


        "Brother Hua, do we have to go back tomorrow to resume our lives?"


        During the meal, Lin Sicong casually asked.


        But Lu Hua laughed lightly, "What's the hurry."
