The Man In Rage novel Chapter 132

Yunzhou.

The night breeze stirred up a multitude of ripples as it brushed gently across the lake.

And when it blew past the trees on both sides of the street, the leaves rustled in response.

After Ye Fan ended the call, the smile he had on his face when he was chatting with his wife vanished right away, and was replaced by an expressionless calmness.

"You really do care about her."

Xu Lei had been listening to Ye Fan's conversation with Qiu Mu-Cheng. Suddenly, she laughed lightly. Her tone was filled with envy when she spoke. After all, was this not a woman's greatest happiness?

To have a man who would think of and show concern for her, no matter where she was.

Ye Fan smiled lightly and changed the

topic.

"Miss Xu, if everything proceeds as planned, I will be leaving Yunzhou tonight. I hope you will help me look after Mu-Cheng. Also, please devote your attention to the prep work for Mu Fan Real Estates."

Xu Lei nodded. A gentle breeze disturbed her forelock, and she lifted her hand to brush it into place. She was imbued with such elegance that she looked mesmerizing even when she was just brushing her hair. Many passersby even turned their heads to gawk at her beauty.

And yet, no matter how beautiful she was, her love for this man was destined to be a one-sided affair.

From the beginning to the end, Ye Fan had not looked at Xu Lei even once. He had only been looking calmly at wide expanse of mist-covered lake, while the brillance of the night sky was reflected in his eyes.

"Have you really made up your mind to go?"

"Aren't you afraid that it might turn out to be a one-way trip?”

"Chen Ao and Li Er can't run away because they are involved in this matter. But you can stay away. Why get yourself mixed up in this?" Xu Lei asked softly.

Ye Fan shook his head with a smile.

"Heavy is the head that wears the crown."

"Besides, this calamity that has befallen Jiangdong may have something to do with me. So I have to be the one to resolve this problem."

Ye Fan's low voice resounded softly across the mist-covered lake. However, just then, nobody could see the sinister look in his eyes.

Only moments ago, Han had already called to inform Ye Fan that Wu He-Rong was very likely someone sent by Chu Qi-Tian, the third young master of the Chu family.

From the very beginning, Ye Fan had suspected that avenging a long-ago grudge was not Wu He-Rong's only motive for crossing the ocean and returning to Jiangdong. Now it looked like his real motive was most probably to take control of Jiangdong first, and then help the third young master of the Chu family to get rid of Ye Fan. Therefore, Ye Fan had no other choice but to participate in the duel at Mount Tai.

Otherwise, once Wu He-Rong controlled Jiangdong, everything he had built up here would have gone to waste. Also, his wife's and his mother's lives would be put at risk.

Xu Lei was suddenly stunned.

As she looked at Ye Fan's from the side, for an instant, she thought that the man standing before her was glowing softly under the moonlight. Especially after he had said "heavy is the head that wears the crown," she felt that there was a certain lofty quality about him that stirred her soul.

However, just as she was immersed in staring at Ye Fan, a graceful figure appeared behind him and started to walk quietly toward them. Xu Lei was slightly surprised when she saw the new arrival, and a serious expression came over her face.

Xu Lei's odd behavior attracted Ye Fan's attention and he immediately asked, "Mm? What is the matter with you?"

"Turn around and see for yourself. Your wife is here."

Xu Lei smiled lightly and looked at Ye Fan. It was as if she was saying, "Good luck, you are on your own."

What?

Ye Fan was surprised and immediately turned around to look. And, just as expected, he saw a frosty-faced Qiu Mu-Cheng.
