I am a dragon

The other party was very assertive and clearly not someone who was easy to talk to.

I glanced back at Jiang Ruxue. Jiang Ruxue's delicate eyebrows furrowed slightly, and she said in a steady voice, "Who are you people? Let's talk this out."

The man with the crew cut said, "Lin Fang is your man, right? He owes us money. It's only right that a murderer pays with his life and a debtor repays his debt, isn't it?"

Jiang Ruxue said, "I've never heard Lin Fang mention owing money before."

The man with the buzz cut said in a deep voice, "This is a matter between you two, it has nothing to do with us. I'm just someone sent by the company to collect a debt, I hope you can understand."

"What proof do you have?" Jiang Ruxue asked.

The crew-cut man gave the long-haired man a wink, and the long-haired man handed over the contract.

Jiang Ruxue took it, looked at it carefully, and frowned, saying, "It only says 1.5 million was borrowed, how did it become 2.3 million?"

The long-haired monster rolled its eyes and shouted, "No interest?"

"From 1.5 million to 2.3 million in just one month? That's outrageous!"

Upon hearing Jiang Ruxue's words, I quickly took the contract and began to examine it carefully.

I was completely confused by most of the content.

Jiang Ruxue said, "This is usury, we don't admit it. Don't make trouble, or I'll call the police."

"I don't care whether you admit it or not, the money was borrowed by Lin Fang. We agreed on it back then. Now he's hiding. We'll go find his family. If you don't give it to him, we'll go to his hometown."

Long Hair gave a sly smile; he didn't take calling the police a big deal at all.

We can't let them go back to their hometown.

My second aunt is in poor health; she has to catch her breath after just a few steps. I prescribed her some medicine after she came out of prison. Those people from Changmao have no bottom line; if they go back to their hometown, they'll definitely terrify my second aunt.

The man with the crew cut, realizing we weren't planning to pay him back, smirked and said, "Teacher Jiang, you don't want this to escalate to your school, do you?"

Jiang Ruxue's expression changed instantly.

I knew this stalemate couldn't go on, so I swallowed my anger and said, "You're only here for money. What kind of man makes things difficult for a woman? Tell me what you have to say."

Actually, I don't know how to solve it either, so I can only pretend and take it one step at a time.

The man with the buzz cut looked me up and down and sneered, "Have you even grown your hair yet?"

I met his gaze without flinching and said coldly, "There are plenty of men with long, bushy hair on the street. Ask them if they'll give you money."

The man with the buzz cut blinked and nodded at me: "Okay, you've got some skill."

The long-haired man standing to the side said impatiently, "Then I'll tell you, pay me back now."

"My cousin isn't here, so it's hard to tell if this contract is real or fake. I'll return it to you after I've found out."

"Bullshit! When will we ever see that?" Long-haired man shouted.

The crew-cut man was more composed than him: "Kid, we're just after money, don't push us."

"Don't push me!"

I clenched my fist under the table, my nails digging into my flesh, and met the gaze of the man with the buzz cut.

You absolutely must not back down at this time!

Longhair flexed his wrists, a fierce glint in his eyes, and said in a sinister tone, "I think you're getting too tough and want me to loosen up your muscles."

"Fine, let's have a one-on-one fight. If you lose, get out of here and don't bother my sister-in-law again."

I jumped up, and the two sides immediately became tense and on the verge of conflict.

I can tell these two people are not to be trifled with, but I'm confident I can defeat them.

As for whether it will attract the attention of the police, or whether it will be judged as mutual fighting...

I can't worry about that anymore.

Just as we were about to take action, two police officers in uniform suddenly came upstairs.

The crew-cut man patted the long-haired man's arm and said, "Three days. I'll give you three days. If you don't have two million three hundred thousand by then, you know what will happen."

"Hmph!" I glared at the two of them.

The two people gave me a deep look, then got up and left one after the other.

As soon as they left, Jiang Ruxue and I both breathed a sigh of relief. At that moment, I realized that I was covered in cold sweat.

Jiang Ruxue was so nervous she could hardly breathe. Now that she relaxed, she unbuttoned her collar and fanned herself with her hand.

I quickly turned my head away.

Jiang Ruxue, unaware that she had already exposed herself, held my hand and said, "It's a good thing you're here today. I really don't know what I would have done if I were alone."

Her hands were cold and soft, so I quickly pulled my hand away and thought for a moment before saying, "Sister-in-law, the most important thing now is to find my brother. Where did he go?"

Jiang Ruxue shook her head angrily and said, "I don't know either. He suddenly became unreachable. I initially thought his phone was off because it was out of battery, but it's been off for several days in a row, and no one answers the backup phone either."

"You've been home these past few days, haven't you seen your cousin?"

I felt very guilty and said, "I'm sorry, I've been quite busy these past few days. I've been eating and sleeping at the health consultation room and haven't been home."

Jiang Ruxue looked at me and said, "Xiaofeng, Lin Fang and I are not from Miancheng. You are my only family now, so you can't hide this from me."

As expected of a teacher, her tone of voice was very persuasive. I almost blurted out the relationship between Lin Fang and Ning Meng, but luckily I pulled back from the brink in time.

It's best to stay out of these kinds of things; you'll easily find yourself pleasing neither side.

"It's nothing."

Jiang Ruxue was skeptical of my words: "This isn't the place to talk. Let's go home first?"

I agreed and followed Jiang Ruxue out. When we passed the front desk, we were stopped by someone.

"Excuse me, you haven't paid your bill yet."

The receptionist was a young woman with a professional smile.

My face flushed red, and I cursed the crew-cut guy and the long-haired guy in my heart. Just as I was about to take out my phone to scan the code to pay, Jiang Ruxue had already taken out her phone and scanned the code.

Back home, Jiang Ruxue immediately kicked off her high heels and sat on the sofa with a distressed expression.

My gaze involuntarily fell on her snow-white feet encased in flesh-colored short stockings. As I mentioned before, I always look at women from the bottom up.

I even suspect that I have a leg fetish or foot fetish. It's so impolite of me to look at Jiang Ruxue like this. I cursed myself inwardly.

"Sister-in-law, you just got back, take a rest first. I'm going back to the health consultation room. I haven't quite sorted things out at work yet. I'll be staying at the health consultation room tonight. If you need anything, just call me. I won't turn off my phone."

I stood up to leave.

Jiang Ruxue turned her head, her eyes full of expectation, and said, "Don't you live at home? There still needs to be a man at home..."

Her voice trailed off, and she eventually turned her head away.

I thought for a moment and said, "Okay, I'll be back after get off work. You need to be careful these next few days."

I don't know if it was just my imagination, but when Jiang Ruxue heard that I was going home to live, she breathed a sigh of relief, as if she had found someone to rely on.

Have I become Jiang Ruxue's protector?

The moment this thought entered my mind, my vanity was immediately satisfied, as if I were already a real man.

We must find Lin Fang now, but where can we look for him?

Just when I was worrying, Chen Hu called, and my eyes lit up immediately.

"Brother Tiger, I've been meaning to ask you for a favor..."
