I am a dragon

If it were yesterday, I would at least have gone to check out the apartment, but now I can't get in touch with Lin Fang. If I suggest moving out now, what will Jiang Ruxue think?

She must have thought, "Now that Lin Fang is gone, I no longer consider her family," and was in a hurry to move out to sever ties with her.

Besides, I wouldn't feel comfortable leaving Jiang Ruxue alone at home.

Xu Lanya might take advantage of the situation.

Of course, it's possible that Jiang Ruxue and Xu Lanya have already secretly gotten together. If that's the case, I can't move out. I have to gather evidence and expose those two scumbags!

"I'm not looking for a place for now."

"What's wrong?"

Tao Xiaotao tilted her head and asked me.

"My cousin has disappeared and owes a lot of money. Only my cousin's wife lives here. How am I supposed to move out?"

I didn't want to talk about these family matters, but some things are hard to keep inside. Tao Xiaotao was my first friend in Miancheng.

Besides, she's quite mysterious; maybe she can give me some advice.

"Your cousin is such a jerk. He ran away after owing money. He's not a real man," Tao Xiaotao said disdainfully.

I felt indignant on Lin Fangming's behalf: "What? My cousin said he went abroad to invest and will be the richest man in Miancheng when he comes back."

"More like 'first debt,' meaning debt in the sense of being indebted."

"I'm not talking to you anymore."

I don't want to hear Tao Xiaotao say bad things about Lin Fang, so I'm going to pursue Xu Lanya.

Tao Xiaotao wouldn't let me go: "Okay, I know a private investigator, we can ask him for help."

I've never met a private investigator before, but the ones on TV seem really capable; maybe I really can find Lin Fang.

"Then I'll leave it to you. As for the cost, ask your friend how much they need, and I'll go back and raise the money."

Tao Xiaotao was pleased that I had taken her advice and said, "You don't need to worry about the money. Just do the work first and we'll settle the bill later. In short, finding the right people is the most important thing. Please provide me with your cousin's information."

"Then I'll send it to your phone," I said excitedly.

Ghost Hand Li said, "At home you rely on your parents, but when you're out you rely on your friends. That's why Tao Xiaotao helped me a lot."

"Also, stay away from Xu Lanya, or you'll get yourself into trouble."

She reminded me many times.

"I have nothing to do with Mr. Xu. I just wanted to ask Mr. Xu to help me find my cousin."

I gave a perfunctory reply, but the pleasure that Xu Lanya, this exquisite young woman, brought me was irresistible.

But this kind of thing is better enjoyed alone than shared with others; even close friends shouldn't share it.

"In short, you can't get too close to her; it won't do you any good."

Tao Xiaotao's reminder reminded me of Xu Lanya's husband. I didn't see him that day, but judging from his tone, he was definitely not an easy person to talk to.

"Okay, I'm going home now. See you tomorrow."

I heard it but didn't take it to heart, and just gave a perfunctory reply.

Tao Xiaotao then asked me, "Tomorrow is Monday, what do you want to eat for breakfast? I'll buy it for you."

"Pancakes".

"No scallions, right?"

"Um."

Tao Xiaotao is a nice person. Sometimes she brings me breakfast in the morning and never takes my money.

When I got home, Jiang Ruxue was sitting on the sofa, staring blankly at the TV.

Just then, Jiang Ruxue's phone rang.

It was the security guard at the community gate who called.

Jiang Ruxue turned on speakerphone.

"Hello, are you Ms. Jiang Ruxue, a resident of this community?"

"it's me."

"There are two people looking for you at the entrance. Since they are not residents of the community, I'd like to confirm with you."

Green Sea Garden is a mid-to-high-end residential community with excellent security. Outsiders must obtain the consent of the community residents to enter.

These kinds of residential areas should be blacklisted by food delivery drivers.

Jiang Ruxue frowned: "What are their names?"

At that moment, the caller took the phone and spoke in an unfamiliar voice: "Are you Lin Fang's wife? He owes Batong Financial Company more than two million yuan, and we can't find him. We can only contact you."

I know you're an English teacher at Cotton City University. If you don't return it, we'll have to go to your workplace.

Jiang Ruxue's expression changed: "You...who are you people?"

"They've sent people from Batong Financial Company to collect debts. I have Lin Fang's loan contract," the visitor said coldly. "I hope to see you now."

Jiang Ruxue hesitated for a moment, then said, "Okay, you guys wait for me at the door."

The visitor said, "We'll wait for you at the teahouse across from the residential area."

"it is good."

Jiang Ruxue agreed, then hung up the phone. Her expression changed drastically, and she seemed somewhat flustered.

"The debt collectors have come to our door, what should we do?"

I frowned and said, "You shouldn't have agreed to meet him. Who knows what kind of person he is?"

Jiang Ruxue said irritably, "Didn't you hear? They know the school where I work. If I don't see them, they'll find the school sooner or later."

I think that makes sense. If it gets to the school, it will definitely have a bad impact on Jiang Ruxue.

"Then I'll go with you."

"Hmm." Jiang Ruxue went into the bedroom, changed into a white shirt and jeans. No wonder even Xu Lanya missed her; she really is the most beautiful woman I've ever seen.

On the way to the teahouse, I imagined what might happen and thought of different solutions. As we were about to leave the residential area, I said to Jiang Ruxue, "If anything goes wrong later, don't worry about me, just go."

Jiang Ruxue paused for a moment, then remained silent.

The two of us went to the teahouse across from the residential area and met the visitor.

These are two gangsters, ordinary-looking, but with fierce eyes and tattoos on their arms.

One had a buzz cut, the other had long hair.

Both of them looked surprised when they saw Jiang Ruxue.

One of them, Changmao, suddenly brightened up, his gaze becoming intense, as if he wanted to crawl inside Jiang Ruxue's underwear.

Jiang Ruxue had seen countless such looks before, and subconsciously tightened her collar.

I had never been in such a situation before, and my heart was pounding, but I still stepped forward and blocked their view.

Longhair glared at me, clearly annoyed.

I glared at him too.

During my years in prison, I've met many people like this and heard a lot of stories about the underworld.

What about using a machete to cut from one end of the street to the other? What about calling a hundred or eighty brothers with just one phone call?

Ghost Hand Li said, "They're all just bragging. These are just thugs. The ones who really dare to kill and set fires don't like to talk. They'd rather take action than talk nonsense. It also proves the old saying, 'A dog that bites doesn't bark.'"

I had a keen sense that the man with the buzz cut in front of me was a dog that didn't bark.

Therefore, I cannot afford to lose my momentum.

The man with the buzz cut noticed me too.

"Has this guy had his work done?"

We were complete strangers, yet he was able to tell that I had been to prison.

"This guy has a good eye; four and a half years, he just graduated not long ago."

The man with the buzz cut nodded and looked at Jiang Ruxue. His eyes were devoid of any lewdness, and based on that alone, I was certain he was a ruthless person, which made me nervous.

"Ms. Jiang, shall we now examine your husband's debt of 2.3 million?"
