A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)

Chapter 297 Singing a Duet

Ye Fan ignored the chortling in the room and turned to look at Liu Chuan-Zhi as he nonchalantly said,

"There's nothing much to say, really."

"I just want to tell Mayor Han that when Master Liu said earlier that if Mayor Han buys this rock, he

might not make a huge profit but he would definitely not make a loss, he was lying. This rock will not

have any glass jade in it, nor Yang jade, and definitely no imperial jade! In other words, this rock here is

really nothing but a rock. Never mind $200 million - even if you bought it at $20,000, you would make a

loss."

What?

Ye Fan's words shocked everyone.

Liu Chuan-Zhi and Zhou Sheng's expressions darkened.

The mocking look on Zhou Sheng's face dissipated and now he looked at Ye Fan with fury and hatred.

"You little punk! What right do you have to

spout nonsense like that? When Master Liu questioned me, I had nothing to say, because he's a

respected senior in the world of rock gambling. But you're just a country bumpkin and a live-in son-in-

law! How dare you come here and ruin my reputation and question the Rock King of Zhou Jewelry?

How DARE you?!" said Zhou Sheng nastily.

Ye Fan said that the Rock King of his company was a worthless rock, so how could Zhou Sheng not

get angry?

If Han Dong-Min weren't here, he would have gotten someone to break Ye Fan's legs by now.

Ye Fan ignored Zhou Sheng's angry remarks and continued speaking as he looked at Han Dong-Min,

"So Mayor Han, if you don't want to carry this regret into the grave, I'd advise you against buying it. It's

not so bad if you just lose some money, but I'm afraid that you'd end up losing the bright future you

have ahead of you, and you might even end up in jail." "You're really audacious! How dare you say

something like that to Mayor Han! I think you're just..." yelled Meng Guang angrily at Ye Fan's words.

Ye Fan was clearly cursing Han Dong-Min.

But just when Meng Guang was about to chase this country bumpkin out of the house, Han Dong-Min

held him back.

"Mayor Han, don't tell me you believe the nonsense he's spouting? He's just a country bumpkin, so

what does he know about jadeite?" said Meng Guang confusedly when Han Dong-Min actually stopped

him.

Han Dong-Min waved his hand to tell him that he would take care of this and Meng Guang didn't need

to interfere.

Han Dong-Min then looked at Ye Fan and asked, "You say that it's a worthless rock, but Master Liu

thinks it's a valuable one. So you're trying to say that Master Liu is not as good at judging rocks as

you?"

Ye Fan laughed. "Mayor Han, I think you shouldn't be asking me this question. You should be asking

this Master Liu who's supposed to be a disciple of the so called King of Rocks, Wei Fu."

"Ask him if he's really the disciple of the King of Rocks, or if he's just an imposter. If he's not really the

man he says he is, then you've hired the wrong guy. But if he's really the man he says he is, then

Mayor Han, you've placed your trust in the wrong guy."

"What utter nonsense!” Liu Chuan-Zhi and Zhou Sheng exploded at nearly the same time.

"Mayor Han, he's just a useless bum from the countryside, so why listen to him spout nonsense here?

He's just trying to scam others, so we'd better chase him out quickly so that he doesn't get to say

anymore rubbish here!" Zhou Sheng had lost the calmness he had earlier and his expression was

furious.

Liu Chuan-Zhi was even more displeased and was incensed at Ye Fan's words.

"I have followed the King of Rocks since I was a child and everybody in the jade industry of Jiangdong

knows who I am. So how could I be an imposter? Mayor Han, why bother with letting this idiot stay here

and spout nonsense? Chase him out now!" said Liu Chuan-Zhi in an equally angry voice.

But Han Dong-Min ignored their angry voices and frowned as he continued asking, "What did you

mean by that statement earlier?"

"I meant just that,” Ye Fan smiled faintly as he stuffed his hands into his pant pockets and continued to

look calm. "If this Liu Chuan-Zhi is not truly the disciple of the King of Rocks and is pretending to be

him, then of course, Mayor Han has clearly hired the wrong person.”

"But if this Master Liu is really the best disciple of the King of Rocks, then I can only say that Mayor

Han has been fooled. This Master Liu is on the same team as Mr Zhou and they've ganged up to cheat

you. And after hearing what Master Liu said earlier, there's only one possibility." NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.

"Nonsense! If Master Liu and Mr Zhou were on the same side, why would they have clashed head on

earlier? If Mayor Han didn't hold them back, the two of them would have gotten into a fight! It's already

not bad if they don't consider each other enemies! How could you say that they're on the same side?"

questioned Meng Guang coldly. He didn't believe Ye Fan at all.

Ye Fan shook his head and laughed, "Isn't that even more obvious? If they didn't put on such an act,

would you think that they're on opposite sides?”

"Well..." Meng Guang felt like he had been struck by lightning and froze on the spot.

He suddenly felt that Ye Fan made sense.

"Youngster, how dare you!" Master Liu couldn't be bothered about maintaining an image befitting of his

status and authority. He glared so angrily at Ye Fan that his eyes were about to fall out of their sockets

soon.

The hatred and regret in his eyes were

intense.

He was filled with regret now. He thought that his plan with Zhou Sheng was seamless and so far it had

gone well.

Their plan was about to succeed, but he didn't expect a young punk to notice something suspicious.

Now that Ye Fan had pointed it out, even if Han Dong-Min didn't believe Ye Fan, he would also become

suspicious!

As he feared, Han Dong-Min's expression darkened. He turned to look at Liu Chuan-Zhi and asked

coldly, "Master Liu, Mr Zhou, would the two of you like to explain yourselves?”

"Mayor Han, I..." Zhou Sheng looked anxious and tried to explain himself.

But Ye Fan started laughing again. "Mayor Han, what other explanation could there be?"

"I'm guessing that Mr Zhou hasn't been able to manage the company well and his company is on the

verge of bankruptcy. So just before making a run for it, Mr Zhou wanted to scam Mayor Han of a large

sum of money. As for Master Liu, either Mr Zhou has a hold over him, or he owes Mr Zhou a favor, so

he agreed to cooperate with Mr Zhou to put on this exciting show."

"After all, $200 million is a lot of money to anybody, especially for someone who's on the verge of

bankruptcy like Mr Zhou.

That's enough money to help him tide over this crisis. So Mayor Han, these two have been singing a

duet to cheat you of your money! What Rock King is this? It's just a worthless rock."

What?!

Ye Fan's words were like a huge rock dropping into the ocean, causing everyone to go into an uproar.

The whole living room was filled with shock.

Han Dong-Min's expression was even nastier now. He clenched his fists more tightly and his eyes were

completely cold now.

"Zhou Sheng, Liu Chuan-Zhi, is what he's saying true? Are the two of you really putting on a show to

cheat me?" Ye Fan had spoken so logically that even Han Dong-Min couldn't help but be suspicious of

these two.

Zhou Sheng was already panicking and his face was pale while his entire body shook.

He didn't expect Ye Fan to see through their plans!

Ye Fan hadn't just seen through the scam, but he had also guessed his thoughts and his current

situation accurately!

Who was this fellow?!

Was he really a country bumpkin?

Was he really just a useless live-in son-in-law?

This guy was really some god who could see into people's hearts, right?!

Zhou Sheng was filled with regret. If he had known things would come to this, then he wouldn't have

allowed Ye Fan to speak at all even if it cost him his life.

It was his own fault!

Zhou Sheng was already panicking because his plans had been exposed and he was feeling terribly

guilty. In his fear, he was ready to come clean with Han Dong-Min and beg for mercy.

But at this time...
