I am a dragon

Chapter 28 Frustration

I said dejectedly, "It seems like I'm destined to attract misfortune. Five years in prison wasn't enough, and now I'm being scammed just to rent a place."

Tao Xiaotao sneered, "Someone's been watching you."

My heart skipped a beat: "Who?"

Tao Xiaotao glanced at me and said, "You couldn't possibly not have guessed, could you?"

"Zhou Mingyuan?"

I've only been in Miancheng for three months, and the only person I've offended is Zhou Mingyuan. Zhou Mingyuan dared to kidnap me, so of course he also dared to send people to frame me.

Tao Xiaotao nodded.

I asked in surprise, "Zhou Mingyuan knows people in the underworld?"

"Zhou Mingyuan has a very good relationship with a guy named Agou who works under Qiao Laoliu."

"How did you know?"

"I just know."

Tao Xiaotao playfully stuck out her tongue at me, and that's when I realized that Tao Xiaotao is quite pretty without her baseball cap, it's just a pity that her figure is a drawback.

But then again, she's a year or two younger than me, so her future looks promising!

Why are you looking at me like that?

When I came to my senses, I saw that Tao Xiaotao had a blush on her face, her head was slightly lowered, and her eyes were a little flustered.

"I feel like you're acting differently today."

"What's different?"

"I can't really explain it, it's just different."

"boring."

Tao Xiaotao rolled her eyes at me.

I asked Tao Xiaotao, "Why do you think Zhou Mingyuan is targeting me? I didn't kill his father, and I didn't sleep with his wife."

I can't figure this out at all. Even if I never gave him a gift, it shouldn't be a reason for me to die, right?

Tao Xiaotao thought for a moment, then shook her head and said, "I'm not too sure about that. Maybe it has something to do with Xu Lanya?"

"Mr. Xu?" I exclaimed incredulously. "How is this possible?"

Tao Xiaotao said with a strange expression, "Maybe it's someone behind Zhou Mingyuan. Anyway, you should stay away from Xu Lanya in the future. Xu Lanya has a husband."

Of course I know that. I also know that their marriage was a mutually beneficial arrangement, and that behind the scenes, one was gay and the other was having an affair.

No, Xu Lanya must be bisexual, otherwise why would she be with me...?

Thinking about this, a thought suddenly struck me: Could it be that Zhou Mingyuan was acting under the orders of Xu Lanya's husband? After all, I am the cousin of Jiang Ruxue's husband, his rival in love...

This is fucking a mess!

Just then, my phone rang. I took it out and saw that it was Lin Fang calling.

I haven't figured out how to face Lin Fang yet.

Even if all of this was Jiang Ruxue's or Ning Meng's idea, he never stopped me. Did he think I was only fit to wear his worn-out shoes?

"Who called? Why didn't you answer?" Tao Xiaotao peeked over from across the street.

"My cousin." I was still sulking.

Tao Xiaotao laughed and said, "You're not answering your cousin's calls. Did he steal your girlfriend?"

"Don't talk nonsense!"

I was a little angry, not because Tao Xiaotao was talking nonsense, but because she actually guessed half of it correctly.

The other part is that I'm afraid Lin Fang will tell me about Ning Meng, which would make me feel very ashamed.

"I knew long ago that Ning Meng wasn't a good woman."

Tao Xiaotao made a comment.

I ignored her, but Lin Fang's calls kept ringing, so I had to answer them.

"Why did it take you so long to answer the phone?" Lin Fang's voice sounded a little anxious.

Upon hearing this, I instantly forgot about Ning Meng and Lin Fang's affair and asked, "What happened?"

"Where are you now? Go home."

After saying that, Lin Fang hung up the phone.

Lin Fang and I grew up together, and I know that he is usually carefree and always speaks with a bit of a joke in his voice.

But the tone of his voice on the phone today clearly indicated that something was really wrong.

Women are like clothes, brothers are like limbs. I'm angry with Lin Fang about Ning Meng's situation, but if something really happens to Lin Fang, I won't stand idly by.

"Xiao Tao, my brother seems to need to talk to me about something, I have to go back."

Tao Xiaotao nodded, stood up, and walked out.

"What should we do with these things?"

Our hamburgers, chicken nuggets, and the like were barely touched.

Tao Xiaotao casually replied, "No, thank you."

"That might not be a good idea. How about we just get it to go?"

My family wasn't well-off, so I learned to be frugal from a young age. I had to eat any rice grains that fell on the table. Before I was four, I wore my cousin's leggings.

"Don't you have something to do? Stop being so wishy-washy."

Tao Xiaotao has left McDonald's.

I had no choice but to follow them out.

I got on Tao Xiaotao's motorcycle and returned to the neighborhood.

When I ran into my colleague at the entrance of the residential area, he saw me and Tao Xiaotao and had a look on his face as if he were watching a drama unfold.

"Lu Feng, you and Tao Xiaotao are inseparable, are you already together? When are you going to invite me to your wedding?"

I tried to explain, but Tao Xiaotao raised an eyebrow: "We're getting married tonight, is that any of your business?"

After saying that, he didn't give the other party any chance and rode his motorcycle into the residential area.

I said goodbye to Tao Xiaotao and returned home, just in time to see Lin Fang packing his things.

"Are you going on a business trip?"

"More or less, I'll be away for a while," Lin Fang said as he packed his clothes. "While I'm gone, you'll be in charge of the house."

A sense of foreboding suddenly welled up inside me.

"Brother, is something wrong?"

Lin Fang chuckled twice and said, "You wish me well. What could possibly happen to me? I'm just investing abroad with some friends. Wait until I become the richest man in Miancheng."

Seeing his confident demeanor, the huge weight that had been hanging over my heart finally lifted.

I feel it's necessary to talk to him about some things while I have this opportunity.

"Brother, Ning Meng told me everything..."

Lin Fang stopped, turned to me, and asked, "What did you say?"

"She said you two had that kind of relationship," I mustered up the courage to say.

Lin Fang cursed, "That little bitch, I've already broken up with her, but she's still clinging to you. Brother, ignore her, she's not as simple as she seems."

Oh, and your sister-in-law too. I suspect it was her who gave Ning Meng the idea. I've had a feeling she was having an affair for a long time.

I don't know what to say. It was his fault for having affairs, but now it's like everyone owes him something.

"Brother, I don't think your wife is that kind of person."

Lin Fang stared at me for a long time and said, "You're just too naive. Alright, I'm leaving now. We'll talk about it when I get back. I'll definitely find out who kidnapped you and I won't let them get away with it."

"Did you tell your sister-in-law?"

I mentioned that Jiang Ruxue was studying out of town these past two days and wasn't home.

"I made a phone call."

Watching him leave with his suitcase, I felt a pang of reluctance and worry, as if something was about to happen, but I was powerless to stop him.

I felt empty inside. I wandered around the neighborhood aimlessly and unknowingly ended up at the property management office. To my surprise, I saw Zhou Mingyuan barging into my office with several people, pointing and gesturing. I immediately went inside, stood up to Zhou Mingyuan, and questioned him, "Zhou Mingyuan, did I let you in?"
