I am a dragon

Lin Fang was clearly taken aback for a moment, then forced a smile and said, "Your sister-in-law and I are doing very well, you don't need to worry about us."

"You've been married for two or three years, why don't you have children yet?"

"I'm not even thirty yet, I don't want to have children so early." Lin Fang stared into my eyes and asked, "What did your sister-in-law say to you?"

I wanted to tell Jiang Ruxue that she wanted a child, but then I thought, men can be suspicious sometimes.

If I were to directly reveal Jiang Ruxue's wish, Lin Fang would inevitably suspect that my sister-in-law and I had discussed something behind his back.

Given Lin Fang's temper, he might start arguing with Jiang Ruxue tomorrow.

Thinking of this, I said, "Actually, it's my second aunt. When I came, she asked me to persuade you to have a child soon, saying that while they are still healthy, they can help you take care of the child."

Lin Fang was both amused and exasperated: "My mom is really something. In the past few years, she was pressuring me to get married, and now she's pressuring me to have children. Every time I go home and hear these things, I'm completely overwhelmed."

I laughed and said, "That's how older people are. My mom's been pressuring me to get married. By the way, bro, do you know Ning Meng?"

"Um."

A strange look flashed in Lin Fang's eyes, and his lips twitched as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he said nothing.

I thought I was seeing things and didn't pay much attention.

"So what do you think of me being with Ning Meng?"

I asked him seemingly casually, but I actually wanted to confirm my guess: was he really against me being with Ning Meng?

As expected, Lin Fang shook his head and said, "Ning Meng is not suitable for you."

Why?

Lin Fang took a deep drag on his cigarette, finally stubbed it out in the ashtray, thought for a moment, and said to me, "There are some things I don't know how to tell you, but you have to listen to me and stop seeing Ning Meng."

I think he's a well-fed man who doesn't know the hunger of a starving man, and the topic returned to him and Jiang Ruxue.

"Brother, I think you really should consider having a child..."

Before he could finish speaking, Lin Fang raised his hands in surrender and said repeatedly, "Stop, stop, I'm scared of you. You're five years younger than me, but you talk like an old man, just like your second aunt and uncle. Okay, it's getting late, I'm really sleepy, I'm going to bed."

I grabbed him: "Don't go, I still have something to tell you..."

"Fine, I'll call you brother, okay? I'm really sleepy." Lin Fang broke free of my hand and walked towards the door.

I called out from behind, "Happy birthday, bro!"

Lin Fang stopped in his tracks, but did not turn around.

Happy birthday to you too.

Lin Fang and I share the same birthday, and he remembers it too.

"Good night."

"Good night."

Actually, I was so sleepy. After Lin Fang left, I took off my clothes, lay down on the bed, and my eyelids felt like they weighed a ton. I quickly fell asleep.

I slept until the next day. Early in the morning, Lin Fang and Jiang Ruxue were not home. I first washed the clothes that the white coat had lent me and then dried them.

I went out and bought a new phone and got a replacement SIM card. I took the new phone to the cloud drive, and everything in the cloud drive was wiped clean.

This confirms my suspicion that the real culprit behind my kidnapping was Zhou Mingyuan.

It must have been after I was knocked unconscious that someone used my fingerprint to unlock my phone and then deleted everything stored in the cloud drive to prevent any future problems.

Zhou Mingyuan is ruthless!

This gave me a new understanding of him.

What pains me is that I spent over a thousand yuan on this phone.

The birthday gift Jiang Ruxue gave me is also gone.

After I finished everything, I went to the office, where Tao Xiaotao was already waiting for me. When she saw me, she asked, "You went to see General Manager Xu yesterday. How did it go? I wanted to ask you, but your phone was off."

"Don't even mention it."

I get angry just thinking about yesterday.

Tao Xiaotao asked, "Does President Xu disagree?"

"I didn't see General Manager Xu."

As I spoke, I opened the office door.

Tao Xiaotao followed him into the office and pressed, "Stop keeping me in suspense and tell me quickly."

I simply recounted what had happened yesterday, and Tao Xiaotao was so shocked that her mouth dropped open.

"You mean someone kidnapped you?"

"Well, what doesn't kill me makes me stronger."

I flexed my muscles and made a big show of it.

Tao Xiaotao gave a thumbs up: "From now on, you'll be my idol."

Just as I was saying this, my phone rang.

After the call connected, Xu Lanya's displeased voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Lu Feng, what were you doing yesterday? You even turned off your phone! Do you know I even turned down a major client just to wait for you?"

I quickly apologized, "I'm sorry, Mr. Xu, I didn't mean to, I was just kidnapped."

Mr. Xu paused for a moment, then exclaimed in surprise, "Kidnapping? You're not kidding me, are you?"

"How could I lie to you? Someone knocked me unconscious and dumped me on the riverbank. I didn't wake up until night, and I couldn't find any of my belongings. I called the police, and by the time I finished dealing with it, it was already past 3 a.m.

After hearing my explanation, Xu Lanya asked, "Are you alright now?"

"Yes, Mr. Xu, I lost the phone you gave me. I'll pay you back when I've earned enough money."

"What do you mean 'return'? It was given to you in the first place. You can rest today. Do you know who kidnapped you?"

Xu Lanya is a really nice person. I can feel that Xu Lanya genuinely cares about me, and I feel touched.

"I don't need to rest, I'm fine. I've called the police, and I'm sure they'll find out who kidnapped me soon."

"That's good."

"Ms. Xu, I'm going out now to print another copy of the plan. Do you have time this morning?" I asked Xu Lanya.

I am now focused on building my career to repay her kindness and support.

Xu Lanya thought for a moment and said to me, "I'm still at the company. Come over here. Be careful this time."

I agreed and hung up the phone. I said to Tao Xiaotao, "Your idol is going to report to General Manager Xu now. You stay in the office. I estimate that some elderly people will be coming today. Please register their names and I will make arrangements when I get back."

I gave a few instructions, then grabbed the clothes and headed outside.

Having learned my lesson from yesterday, I felt like everyone had ill intentions, so I didn't dare take a taxi outside and instead ordered a Didi through the app.

This time I learned my lesson and will no longer trust strangers.

The Didi arrived quickly, I got in the car, and arrived at Jinhai Property Management Company.

Just as he was about to knock on the door, he heard Xu Lanya's voice inside.

"Zhou Mingyuan, I think you're plotting a rebellion. Don't think you're safe just because you have a major shareholder backing you up. I, Xu Lanya, am afraid of you. If you dare to make any more moves, I'll kill you! Get out!"
