I am a dragon

Four or five years later, I went to the police station again, but this time I wasn't locked in an iron cage, but sat in the interrogation room.

It was only then that I realized it was already 1 a.m.

I tried to appear calm on the surface, but inside I was panicking, and my legs were trembling slightly.

I told myself countless times that I was also a victim, and that the police would not wrong me.

But many examples of wrongful convictions flashed through my mind, which made me feel uneasy again.

Two policemen came to question me about what happened today, and I told them everything.

"My phone, my clothes, and even the new clothes I just bought are all gone. Everything is gone."

As I said this, tears welled up in my eyes, but I held them back.

The police then asked me about the specific losses.

My phone is an Apple phone that Xu Lanya gave me, and I was planning to return it. Jiang Ruxue bought me new clothes that cost more than two thousand yuan, but I didn't wear them for a day before they were taken away too.

This was undoubtedly a fatal blow to me, leaving me bleeding profusely.

I really wanted to expose Zhou Mingyuan, but I had no evidence and couldn't just say anything, so I had to tell the police that I didn't see who the other person was.

The police recorded my words and asked me how I found the injured person, to which I answered truthfully.

"Is the patient out of danger?"

It's not clear yet.

"May I make the call now?"

"Can."

Overjoyed after receiving a positive reply, I asked, "May I borrow the phone?"

The policeman nodded and handed me his phone.

I held my phone, intending to call my cousin, but I usually only remember the numbers saved in my phone, so I don't know the exact number. My cousin doesn't remember, and neither does Jiang Ruxue. I can't call my parents, for fear of startling them...

The only one I remember is Ning Meng.

I had no choice but to bite the bullet and call Ning Meng.

The phone rang once, but no one answered.

It was 1 a.m., and Ning Meng must have been asleep, but I had no choice but to keep calling her.

It rang again before Ning Meng answered.

"Lu Feng? It's so late, is something the matter?"

Her voice sounded a bit strange, not like the languid sound of someone just woken up, but rather like she was groaning and whimpering, as if she was uncomfortable.

It wasn't until much later that I suddenly realized what had happened.

My heart skipped a beat: "Ning Meng, what's wrong?"

Ning Meng paused for a moment and said, "No, I just went to the restroom. My phone is on silent at night, so I wouldn't have been able to answer your call if I hadn't gone to the restroom."

It turned out to be the case.

I breathed a sigh of relief, but thinking about my own troubles and not wanting Ning Meng to worry, I pretended to be nonchalant and said, "I lost my phone and can't contact anyone now. Do you have Jiang Ruxue's number? Can you tell me?"

After a few seconds of pause, Ning Meng asked, "It's so late, how did you lose your phone? Where are you now? Don't lie."

Smart women are so hard to deal with!

I had no choice but to tell the truth: "I've run into some trouble and I'm at the Qingnian Road Police Station now."

"Oh, you're in the police station?" Ning Meng was surprised.

I'm so embarrassed. I just went on a blind date and ended up in the police station. What will Ning Meng think?

Ning Meng will definitely think I'm unreliable.

I felt like crying but couldn't.

"Well, it's actually a small matter. I just lost my phone. Could you please give me Jiang Ruxue's phone number? Thank you."

I want to end the call as soon as possible.

Ning Meng said, "I'll contact your cousin and his wife for you. Wait for me at the police station."

"Ning Meng, you don't need to..."

I was shocked to hear Ning Meng's words. I didn't want her to see me in such a disheveled state, and I instinctively wanted to refuse, but Ning Meng had already hung up the phone.

There was nothing I could do but wait sullenly at the police station.

It's all Zhou Mingyuan's fault! I hate him so much I want to grind my teeth, and I swear in my heart that I will make him pay double.

After a while, there was a series of chaotic footsteps outside the door. A policeman opened the door from the outside, and Jiang Ruxue immediately squeezed in from behind him.

"Lu Feng, are you alright?"

I shook my head, and then I saw Ning Meng come in from behind.

Ning Meng, who was originally walking at the back, took two steps forward, grabbed my hand, and said, "Lu Feng, what's wrong? Why are you at the police station in the middle of the night?"

Looking at these people who care about me, my heart is warmed.

I briefly recounted what had happened that night, and Jiang Ruxue comforted me, saying, "Someone kidnapped you? That's terrifying. This matter needs to be addressed."

"Your phone and clothes are gone, but that's okay. You can buy new ones tomorrow. I called your cousin; he should be here soon."

Just as he finished speaking, his cousin Lin Fang walked in from outside.

Lin Fang, wearing a floral shirt and carrying a handbag, scolded me as soon as he saw me, "Xiao Feng, what happened to you that led you to the police station again?"

Jiang Ruxue gently nudged Lin Fang: "How can you accuse someone without even knowing the facts? Xiaofeng has been kidnapped. I told him I called him after get off work today but his phone was always off. I thought..."

As Jiang Ruxue spoke, she glanced at Ning Meng, implying that she still thought I was with Ning Meng the whole time.

Ning Meng gently took my arm, and I could feel a soft touch on my elbow.

My heart started racing and my throat went dry.

Lin Fang frowned for a moment, then relaxed: "Damn! Someone dared to kidnap my brother, Xiao Feng, tell me who did it, I'll have someone kill him."

As he spoke, he squeezed next to me, separating Ning Meng from me.

"Sir, this is a police station. Please watch your words."

The police officers present looked displeased and reminded Lin Fang.

Lin Fang quickly said, "I'm sorry, I spoke too hastily."

Jiang Ruxue said to me, "Your brother still cares about you a lot. He came as soon as I called."

"That's right, Xiaofeng and I aren't just relatives, we've been friends since childhood, we're very close."

I was taken aback. Hearing Jiang Ruxue say that, it seemed that Lin Fang was not staying at home again today.

After this matter is over, I definitely need to have a serious talk with Lin Fang. He keeps such a beautiful wife at home all the time, isn't he afraid something might happen?

However, Lin Fang is right. He is five years older than me. We grew up climbing trees to steal birds' nests and fishing in the river together.

Once, someone threw firecrackers into the outhouse. The village chief chased us for half the village, pulling up his pants, but in the end, Lin Fang carried them down.

He was beaten so badly by my second aunt's husband that he had to lie on the kang (a heated brick bed) for three days.

As we were talking, a policeman who identified himself as the station chief came in and said we could leave, and that he would keep me informed of any progress in the case.

"Thank you, government!"

The director paused for a moment, patted my shoulder, and said, "Let's go."

I thanked him again.

After leaving the interrogation room, Jiang Ruxue pulled Lin Fang back two steps to give Ning Meng and me some space.

I said to Ning Meng, "Ning Meng, I'm so sorry to bother you so late at night."

"What are you saying? Don't say such formal things in the future. I'm so happy to see you're alright."

As she spoke, Ning Meng gently kissed my forehead in front of Lin Fang and Jiang Ruxue, making me blush bright red...
