Chapter 1141 He Deserved to Die
"You must be Mr Chu, the man who killed my grandson and caused such amotion in Jiangdong. I
can''t believe you managed to force an entire army to submit to you. You''re quite something, aren''t you,
Mr Chu?"
This was the first time Lu Cang-Qiong had met Ye Fan in person.
However, sometimes, you simply needed one look to discern someone''s identity. The gestures they
made and the aura that they exuded within that moment was all one needed.
The young man who stood before him was quiet andposed, and exuded power and confidence.
Who else could he be besides being the man called Mr Chu, and the one who had killed his grandson?
A single nce at Ye Fan had been all Lu Cang-Qiong needed to conclude that the man before him
was Mr Chu.
"I didn''t expect it to be you,” said He Lan-Shan when he heard what Lu Cang-Qiong had said. He
frowned and eyed Ye Fan.
He Lan-Shan had not met Ye Fan in person before but he had heard of the leader of the Jiangdong
people.
When Ye Fan had hosted the Feast of the Sea and Sky, he had gotten someone to deliver a bottle of
wine to Ye Fan as a gift.
"You epted my gift, so I thought that meant you would know your ce and not cause any trouble
for Jiangdong. It seems that I had thought too highly of you.
Ruffians will never stop being ruffians. You can give a gangster status and power, but he''s not going to
change his brutish ways.”
The look that He Shan-Lan gave Ye Fan as he shook his head was as cold as the words that he had
just uttered.
"I would have looked the other way if this had been a mere misdemeanor. The Jiangdong provincial
government is willing to respect your authority and status as the leader of the people. But you don''t
seem to know your ce at all.”
"You incurred the wrath of a powerful family in Yanjing and killed Old Master Lu''s grandson. There''s no
way that I can spare you after you''vemitted such a hideous crime. You have only yourself and your
arrogance to me for what''s going to befall you next," barked He Lan-Shan furiously before he turned
towards Han Dong-Min and hollered, "Han Dong-Ming, why are you standing there and doing nothing?
Gather the police forces in Yunzhou and arrest this man. I want him punished. I''m not going to let
ruffians and gangsters run wild in my streets.”
He Lan-Shan immediately instructed Han Dong-Min to arrest Ye Fan as soon as he realized that the
Han Dong-Min''s face had gone pale. There was a torn look in his eyes as he simply stood there.
"Why aren''t you taking any action? Did you not hear what I just told you?" Impatience colored He Lan-
Shan''s voice.
"Secretary He, Mr Chu is a general. He is beyond our jurisdiction. Only the military may arrest him,"

said Han Dong-Min as he desperately tried to find an excuse for his inaction.
He dared not touch a single hair on Ye Fan.
Han Dong-Min had had multiple encounters with Ye Fan and he knew how terrifying the young man
could be.
The young man was not as simple as he appeared to be. Han Dong-Min was convinced that he hid
great power and a vastwork of connections.
He dared not offend this man.
He didn''t want to die young.
In spite of He Lan-Shan''s explicit orders, Han Dong-Min tried hard to find an excuse to dy the arrest.
"What? A general? Are you saying that he''s a general?” He Lan-Shan was clearly shocked by what
Han Dong-Min had just said. He couldn''t believe that such a young man was a general of their Chinese
military.
"How did you find out? I''ve not heard of such a young general in our army,” retorted He Lan-Shan.
"Just now, sir," reported Han Dong-Min dutifully. "Mr Chu said so himself. The respect that those
soldiers treated him with seems to prove that he was speaking the truth."
He Lan-Shan hesitated then.
The militaryy beyond the jurisdiction of the secr government. They had military courts to deal with
soldiers who had broken thew. Han Dong-Min and the rest of his fellow colleagues did not have the
authority to arrest or prosecute a soldier.
"A general? That''s bullshit! Ye Fan''s only in his twenties. We barely know of men his age being made
generals during wartime. It''s impossible that the military would confer him the position of a general
during peacetime."
"He must have been lying. We don''t have to listen to anything that he says. Just send someone to
arrest him. Even if he were speaking the truth, we can simply pretend that we knew nothing when the
military demands an exnation from us and have him transferred to the military''s custody. He''s going
to have to face trial in the military court then anyway," suggested Wu Wei-Tao.
He Lan-Shan nodded in agreement. "We''ll do that then. Han Dong-Min, I don''t care if he''s a real
general or impersonating one. Have him arrested right now."
Han Dong-Min finally blurted out his true thoughts.
His fear of Ye Fan wasn''t the only reason why he hadn''t wished to incur the young man''s wrath. He
was also on Ye Fan''s side.
He didn''t think that Ye Fan had done anything wrong.
They had been responsible for the explosion on Mount Yunding. He had found that act of destruction
unforgivable.
These young men had abused their power, deployed destructive weapons and destroyed Mr Chu''s
residence. New ch?pter avаble o? Dr?мanоvеls.cоm
They should be shot for what they had done.
Mr Chu had killed them in the name of self-defense. In killing them, he had also helped to rid their
country of two pests.
He was convinced that Mr Chu had done the right thing in killing them.
Of course, he dared not share those thoughts with Old Master Lu in their presence.
But he had been forced into a corner. Left with no other choice, he could only try to persuade He Lan-
Shan to consider his decision this way.
