The Man In Rage novel Chapter 1818

The men who had received orders to conduct a siege at the borders of Adonia were shocked.

“Escorted by fighter jets?”

“Cannons firing?”

“A military salute?”

The soldiers shuddered even to imagine the status of the people who were passing through their province that night.

Meanwhile, the first streaks of dawn appearing across the skies of Yunzhou heralded the arrival of a new day.

The city, however, felt a little different than other days.

To the curious astonishment of the inhabitants, the hedges on both sides of the highway had been trimmed with obvious care. Even the landmarks of the city had been scrubbed and polished with fresh plants arranged around them.

The highway that passed through the city received the most attention. Clean and presentable, it looked primed for a festive parade to take place.

“I say,” remarked one old man who was out on his morning run to another as he glanced at the sparkling road. “Is there a special occasion today?”

“I think you're confused,” his friend replied good-naturedly. “It's months away from anything!”

“Why else would the roads be cleaned up today?” the first old man persisted.

The other shook his head with a resigned chuckle. “You haven't been keeping up with the news, have you? Apparently, a very successful entrepreneur from our fair city is returning today. The provincial government, intending to attract the successful talent to return and help develop the province, has gone to great lengths to get on his good side. I was told that there were cops stationed throughout the entire length of the highway, all the way up to his front door, to ensure his smooth passage. The mayor of Yunzhou is already at the home of the successful young man's parents first thing this morning to await the return of their son with them.”

The second man did not bother to conceal his tone of admiration.

The bystanders who had happened to listen in on the conversation were shocked.

“What the heck! The mayor must really admire him.”

“Even Mr. Chu of Jiangdong did not receive a welcome as extravagant as that.”

“Hurry up and tell us who it is!”

“Is it possible that we have another wildly successful young man out of Yunzhou?”

The pedestrians engaged in endless speculation.

As it had been many years since Ye Fan's dominance, his name was known by every inhabitant of Jiangdong.

We thought that Mr. Chu was already powerful enough. Here's another one even more powerful than he! What a warm welcome the city has planned for him just to return to visit his parents!

“Here's a kicker,” the second old man continued mysteriously, delighted by the effect he had created. “The young man returning today is also named Chu. Rumor has it that he was a playboy who never took anything seriously at the time of his departure. After a few years of hard work, he thrived in Jiangbei and finally became the chairman of a multibillion company in a series of quick ascends. You never know where one ends up in life, eh?” He let out a sigh.

“What? His name is also Chu? Could he be kin to Mr. Chu? Stop beating around the bush, man. Who is it?”

The crowd grew even more curious.

The man stroked his beard for dramatic effect before answering, “He is Chu Wenfei, the son of Chu Yang who once ran Yangtian Real Estate!”

“Yangtian Real Estate?”

“Isn't it going bankrupt soon?”

“Even his son made something of himself!”

“Chu Yang's leading a good life, isn't he?”

The crowd was simultaneously astonished and fascinated at the news.

Several miles away at that very moment, a black Rolls-Royce slowed down as it turned into a junction off the highway.

A man in a smart suit sat quietly in the backseat with a cup of exotic tea brewing next to him.
