A Dish Best Served Cold 1387-1388

 Chapter 1387

"This just came."


        "It's not too late to stay a few more days and go back."


        Lu Hua laughed softly.


        "But, Brother Hua. The higher-ups asked me to come and visit the widow of Grandmaster Ye Fan, and now that I've already paid a visit, I've conveyed everything I need to convey. It's pointless for you and I to stay any longer." Lin Sicong advised from the side.


        "Who says there's no point?" Lu Hua poured himself a glass of red wine, took a sip, and continued, "I've just learned that our patriarch Ye Fan, ah, is a tyrant of this Jiangdong."


        "Its Mu Fan Group, can be said to control the wealth of the entire Jiangdong land."


        "The bigwigs from all walks of life also look up to the Mu Fan Group!"


        "And now, the actual controller of Mufan Group is the same stunning beauty we met earlier, General Manager Autumn Mu Orange."


        When Lin Sicong heard this, he was slightly shocked: "I didn't expect, that Miss Qiu is so young, not only is she stunningly beautiful, but she also has such a wrist. With a female generation, she helped Sect Master Ye Fan to stand alone and take charge of the party."


        "In that regard, she is indeed a heroine."


        Lin Sicong tsked and sighed, his heart becoming more and more respectful of the widow of this title grandmaster.


        At the very least, Jiangdong is such a large chassis, thousands of forces, I don't know how many disputes of interests mixed, he himself is by no means this confidence, to be able to suppress this side of the land.


        "A heroine among women?"


        Lin Sicong asked a rhetorical question, then laughed, slightly ridiculing.


        "You don't really think that just a female streamer is really capable of deterring so many powerful bigwigs in Jiangdong, do you?"


        "To be frank, the reason why the Jiangdong crowd is so respectful of her is not because of Ye Fan."


        "What they are in awe of is not Qiu Mu Orange, nor Mu Fan Group, but Ye Fan and only Ye Fan."


        "Otherwise, with a weak woman with no background and no great power, how could she be in charge of such a large wealthy empire?"


        "So, don't look at the Mufan Group is such a big plate, but it's really all supported by Ye Fan alone."


        "Now, Ye Fan has fallen."


        "Do you think that with just one woman, she can still hold up such a big plate?"


        Lu Hua spoke in a lively manner, and the sound of light laughter reverberated throughout the room like a breeze.


        Lin Sicong nodded, "Well, that's true."


        "It looks like, now that Grandmaster Ye Fan is dead, I'm afraid there will be great chaos in the land of Jiangdong."


        "Since that's the case, then Brother Hua, it's all the more reason for us to leave here quickly."


        "Lest we get caught up in this Jiangdong rapture."


        Lin Sicong worried.


        When Lu Hua heard this, the smile on his lips, however, became even stronger.


        "Si Cong, do you know why you were ranked after me in all the previous examinations of the Martial God Hall?"


        "It's because you're less bold and less ambitious."


        "As the saying goes, a hero's true colors are revealed when the ocean flows across the sea."


        "The great chaos in Jiangdong, for us, that's a chance."


        "With Ye Fan gone, someone has to take over those foundations of his, right?"


        "If there must be someone, then why isn't that person, us?"


        What?


        "Do you want to turtledove your nest? To take over the foundation of Grandmaster Ye Fan?"


        "Lu Hua, you're crazy!"


        "You dare to covet even the property of a title clan master?"


        "You dare to interfere in the ancestral lands of the powerful of the Pillar Kingdom?"


        "You don't want to live?"


        After hearing Lu Hua's words, Lin Sicong was scared out of his wits.


        He didn't expect that Lu Hua would be so bold.


        His hand had reached into the bowl of the title holder.


        He was undoubtedly too old to move, and this was a damned death wish!


        Lin Sicong's face was pale and he was restless, urging Lu Hua not to do anything stupid.


        But Lu Hua remained calm and said with a smile, "Why are you panicking?"


        "I didn't say I'm taking Ye Fan's property by force, we're just managing it for him."


        "This is not me, Lu Hua, being greedy and coveting other people's property."


        "Rather, it's Grandmaster Ye Fan's instructions before he died."


        "It was he who entrusted me to help him take care of his family, his foundation."


        "I only want, in full accordance with Ye Fan's last wish, to help his widow guard his foundation together."


        "Isn't that what the top sent us here to do?"


        "Not just visiting, but also trying to provide help to Evan's family."


        "So, it's not as serious as you say."


        Lu Hua smiled coldly.


        No one knew what was true and what was false in this speech.


        Listening to Lu Hua's explanation, Lin Sicong's mood gradually calmed down and his heart palpitated, "So you were trying to help Miss Qiu get through the difficult times and fulfill Grandmaster Ye Fan's instructions."


        "Brother Hua is indeed a man of great affection."


        "But I was really scared to death just now, I thought you really wanted to forcefully take over Grandmaster Ye Fan's foundation." Lin Sicong was relieved.


        But Lu Hua shook his head and continued, "Scared of what?"


        "No matter how powerful Ye Fan is, he will have turned into a shovel of earth after all."


        "Even if someone does take over his foundation, what can he do?"


        "Will they rise from their graves to take revenge?"


        Lu Hua said coldly.


        Lin Sicong shuddered again and whispered, "Brother Hua, speak carefully~"


        "Your words are a great disrespect to the strong men of the Pillars."


        "Haha, just kidding. Come, let's drink and drink~" Lu Hua laughed lightly and immediately changed the subject.


        After drinking and eating, Lu Hua made an excuse and left the hotel.


        Afterwards, he made a phone call.


        "What? You want to take over the property of the title clan master?"


        "Are you crazy?"


        "You beast, sooner or later you'll get our whole Lv family killed."


        Lv Hua's father cursed angrily and fearfully on the other end of the phone after he had revealed his desire to accept Ye Fan's property in Jiangdong.


        Although their Lv family was a martial arts family, with a majestic heritage, and was one of the leading big families in the northern part of Jiangdong.


        However, even if they were given ten guts, they would never dare to provoke the title clan master.


        "Dad, don't be angry, hear me out."


        "This Ye Fan, born in the countryside, relied solely on his own strength to construct his own business empire in Jiangdong."


        "Now that Ye Fan is dead, in a few days, this building will collapse."


        "At that time, even if we don't do anything, someone will go to consolidate Jiangdong."


        "If that's the case, why don't we make an early move to integrate Jiangdong with a thunderbolt."


        "At that time, my Lu clan will hold the two major provinces of Jiangdong and Jiangbei. The scope of influence will double, and the ancestral foundation will flourish in our generation."


        "It's a good thing to glorify our ancestors."


        "What's more, with the land of the two rivers in hand, our Lu family's position in this China can be further enhanced."


        "Dad, this is the right time for a great opportunity, are you really willing to miss it like this?"


        Lv Hua's words burned, and he couldn't stop persuading.


        The man on the other end of the phone was undoubtedly touched by Lu Hua's advice.


        After all, the foundation left behind by a title grandmaster, that undoubtedly represented endless wealth.


        The economic foundation determines the superstructure, and even though they are a martial family, economic strength is the foundation of a family's power.


Chapter 1388

The Lv family was not the only martial arts family in Jiangbei Province.


        Even though the Lv family had a single master in residence, they did not dare to go too far in the northern part of Jiangbei.


        After all, Jiangbei's martial arts are so prosperous that there are no less than three martial arts masters from Jiangbei alone on the list of masters.


        So, although the Lv family is still a big family in Jiangbei, it has been going downhill in recent years since its heyday. In particular, the old master of the Lu family is getting old, and most of his descendants are not very talented, which makes it difficult for them to achieve greatness. If it weren't for the birth of Lv Hua in this generation, the Lv family would have lost all hope for the future.


        However, before Lu Hua became a clan master, the Lu family was still under a lot of pressure from various aspects.


        If the Lv family could take the land of Jiangdong into their pockets, they would be able to change their decaying appearance and increase their strength.


        "Xiaohua, are you really sure, that Ye Fan is dead?"


        "You should know that there is no turning back with a bow, once our Lv family starts to set foot in Jiangdong, it will be the same as completely turning against Ye Fan."


        "It would be fine if he really falls, but if he comes back alive later, our Lu family will definitely suffer a catastrophe!"


        "The revenge of a title clan master is never something that our Lu family can bear."


        On the other side of the phone, a low, serious voice slowly came out, and the words were all heavy and worried.


        "Dad, don't worry, he's definitely dead."


        "Your son saw with his own eyes, that Ye Fan was surrounded by the two Great Seal Masters, and it is said that he was attacked by someone in the end, and was hacked to a bloody pulp by the Indian Heavenly King Burning Heaven. That kind of injury, it's impossible to live."


        "Moreover, Zhaizhan Huaxia War God Ye Qingtian had personally searched for him at first, but he couldn't find him."


        "Even from the Martial God Temple side, they all think that Ye Fan has fallen."


        "Dad, you can disbelieve me, can't you still disbelieve the God of War and the Martial God Temple?"


        Lu Hua ended up moving both Ye Qingtian and the Martial Temple, which was how he got his father's approval.


        "However, Xiao Hua, there's one more thing."


        "That Ye Fan, after all, is a title clan master."


        "If we move his interests now, will the Martial God Temple side, will they intervene and shelter the foundation Ye Fan left behind ah."


        On the other end of the phone, the worried voice of Lu Hua's father came once again.


        He couldn't be blamed for being cautious, after all, this was a matter of great importance.


        The slightest misstep could bring about their ruin.


        Therefore, before deciding to take action, all aspects must be considered.


        "Haha~"


        "Dad, you can completely relax about this."


        "Although this Ye Fan is ranked as a title, he lacks seniority, so those seniors in the Martial God Hall don't treat him at all."


        "And ah, this Ye Fan also stole the son of the Champion's son and offended the Champion to death."


        "So, it's simply impossible for the Martial God Temple to waste too much time and energy for a dead Ye Fan." Lu Hua laughed.


        "Good, in that case, let's proceed as you say."


        "On the family side, we will also give you our full support to help you take over Jiangdong and take over the foundation left by that Ye Fan."


        "However, Xiao Hua, let me remind you, when dealing with things, don't overdo it. Especially treat that Ye Fan's family members. We must leave a line in the sand, that way, even if that Ye Fan really isn't dead and comes back alive, we still have room to maneuver."


        "In a word, we are only after money, not life!"


        "Do you understand?"


        A man's deep voice came from the phone.


        Lu Hua nodded, "Dad, don't worry, I know what I'm doing. I won't kill unless it's absolutely necessary."


        "And maybe, we can take over this Mu Fan Group without much trouble at all?"


        Lu Hua laughed softly, but his words carried an inexplicable cunning.


        Soon, Lu Hua hung up the phone.


        However, he did not return to the hotel immediately, but made a few phone calls one after another, as if he was arranging something.


        The next day, when the first rays of morning light illuminated the earth, a new day dawned.


        However, no matter how bright the sunlight was, it could not penetrate the haze on top of the cloudy mountain.


        Boom~!


        At that moment, the roar of cars at the bottom of the mountain was quietly heard.


        A black Bentley, slowly drove in.


        It was Li Er's car.


        Out of concern for the condition of Qiu Mu- orange, Li Er came to visit her early in the morning.


        As expected, as soon as Li entered, he saw Qiu Mu Orange's pale and pretty face, which was very haggard.


        "Mr. Qiu, are you alright?"


        "You shouldn't go to the office today, take a few days off and rest."


        "I'll call General Manager Su later and ask her to come over to accompany you."


        The General Manager Su in Li Er's mouth is naturally Qiu Mu Orange's long-time best friend, Su Xi.


        Now she held an important position in Mufan Group, and was one of the most trusted people in the company.


        Li Er knew that the two sisters were close and knew that this was the most difficult time for her, so she wanted her best friend to come over and comfort her.


        However, to Li Er's surprise, Qiu Mu Orange even refused.


        "No need."


        "I'm fine."


        "Everything is fine as usual."


        "Also, Ye Fan's matter, don't make it public for now, the fewer people who know about it, the better."


        "Also, recall Qinglong."


        "The current situation in Jiangdong needs the Green Dragon to sit down."


        Qiu Mu Orange said calmly, her words so cold that one could not hear the slightest emotion.


        There was no panic, no sadness, but instead, she was calm and relaxed, which was touching.


        Li Er was slightly startled by Qiu Mu Orange's reaction.


        Obviously, he didn't expect that this young woman in front of him, who could be his daughter, would be able to pull herself together so quickly and even calmly after such a change of fortune.


        "Well, Mr. Qiu, don't worry, I've already contacted the Green Dragon Team last night."


        "They are now returning at great speed."


        "Good, then let's go, go to work, and everything will be as usual." Qiu Mu Orange calmly returned.


        Afterwards, she simply fixed her makeup and freshened up, she drove to the group's headquarters as usual.


        However, what no one expected was that when she was halfway there, a van suddenly rushed out from the intersection and blocked the road directly in front of her vehicle.


        In panic, Qiu Mucheng swerved to the left and braked in an emergency.


        After forcing Qiu Mu-Orange to stop, the van quickly ran down four or five masked men with hammers, smashed the window of Qiu Mu-Orange's car, and reached out to pull Qiu Mu-Orange out of the car.


        "Who are you guys?"


        "What are you doing?"


        The change happened in the blink of an eye.


        As soon as she realized that something was wrong, those people had already smashed open the doors and windows.


        Alarmed, Qiu Mu-Orange asked angrily.


        "What are you doing?"


        "Robbing you back as a wife."


        "Haha~"


        Someone sarcastically laughed and dragged Qiu Mu Orange out of the room.


        "Stop!"


        "I'll see who dares to touch her."
