Ye Fan didn't say anything and continued to look down at the two men like a king looking down at ants.
Nobody knew what the emotionless looking Ye Fan was thinking about.
All he could hear was Lu Ming-Feng's exclamations as he slowly descended into madness.
But Ye Fan wasn't bothered by Lu Ming-Feng's rambling.
After a long time, he coldly replied, "I said before that you have completely no idea what sort of person is standing before you right now. I've even survived a missile attack. What's a bunch of grenades to me?"
Ye Fan's voice was low and especially foreboding.
A cold wind blew in from outside as he spoke, sending chills down everyone's spine.
Lu Ming-Feng suddenly started laughing after hearing this.
"Ha, what's a few grenades to you? Ye Fan, you're really formidable after all. You're the great Mr Chu and the King of Jiangdong after all. All of us have underestimated you. We were the ones who miscalculated our moves. You've won. Congratulations, Ye Fan. You've won this battle of Jiangdong. You've got the last laugh in the end."
Lu Ming-Feng continued laughing to himself, and seemed like he had gone a little mad.
His sudden change in behavior made Xur Shao-Hua very worried.
"Ming-Feng, what's wrong with you? Calm down. Wins and losses are common in a battle, don't take it to heart. We've lost this time, but we can always win the next time," Xur Shao-Hua walked over and tried to console Lu Ming-Feng.
Everything they had relied on all this time had been completely destroyed by Ye Fan.
From this point of view, their attempt at taking over Jiangdong had indeed failed.
Ye Fan did have the last laugh after all.
"Shao-Hua, I'm fine. I'm just sighing at myself. After all, it's the first time in so many years that we've actually lost and suffered a setback. So this is what it feels like to lose? It really makes me feel so indignant."
"But Mr Chu, even though we've lost and you've got the last laugh, what can you do about us? I dare to send someone to kill your family, I dare to raze your house to the ground and I dare to play with your woman. But do you dare to do the same thing to me? No, you don't!”
"My father is the head of the Lu family, my uncles hold powerful positions throughout the country and my grandfather is a forefather of this nation. The Lu family wields great power in China and we have accumulated many resources over the years, plus our networks even extend beyond our national borders."
"The party secretary of Jiangdong welcomed me with a banquet. The mayor of Yunzhou treats me as politely as royalty. The powerful families within Jiangdong all revere me like a deity. Everyone has always respected me and has been deferential to me. Nobody has ever dared to pick on my mistakes!"
"And why? That's because of how incredibly powerful my family background is! Everyone knows that if they offend me, it's as good as offending the entire Lu family. Nobody in this world is able to hold up against an attack from the Lu family."
"And that includes you, Ye Fan! Even if I sleep with your wife tonight and kill your parents tomorrow, you won't be able to do anything about me. I will still be able to leave Yunzhou unscathed and leave Jiangdong unharmed."
Lu Ming-Feng's crazed laughter echoed in everyone's ears like the rumbling of thunder.
Qiu Mu-Cheng's face was already pale from listening to all this.
Even though Lu Ming-Feng's words were very unpleasant, Qiu Mu-Cheng had to admit that all of this was true.
Earlier in Yanjing, Qiu Mu-Cheng had already found out from Xu Lei about what made the Lu family so powerful.
She knew very well that Ye Fan as the King of Jiangdong wasn't powerful enough to go against an aristocratic family of this level.
In fact, there were very few in all of China who would be able to fight the Lu family.
Qiu Mu-Cheng was certain that if the Lu family was bent on attacking Ye Fan, they could find any ridiculous reason possible to put Ye Fan behind bars for life.
A family like the Lu family could bend any rules they liked, and they could also use the rules to kill someone without leaving any traces!
Qiu Mu-Cheng started to get worried.
