I am a dragon

I was about to agree when I suddenly saw Jiang Ruxue's disapproving look and whispered, "Let's go inside first. Maybe we can find out something about my cousin. If we just go home like this, wouldn't all the pain I endured have been for nothing?"

Jiang Ruxue thought for a moment and nodded slightly, but her eyes told me that she wanted me to leave as soon as possible.

The hall, which had been bustling with singing and dancing just moments before, was now eerily quiet. A few underlings began tidying up, and Jiang Ruxue and I followed Chen Long and Chen Hu up to an office on the third floor.

Chen Hu didn't take the fight to heart. He went into the room, took out a pack of cigarettes from the drawer, and handed one to me.

Jiang Ruxue said, "Xiaofeng is injured and can't smoke."

As she spoke, she looked at me with a warning look that made me feel awkward, unsure whether to accept the answer or not.

Chen Long glared at Chen Hu: "All you do is smoke and drink all day! Throw your cigarettes back!"

As expected, Chen Hu threw the cigarette into the drawer, showing that he listened to Chen Long.

I didn't ask about Lin Fang first, but asked about the bar.

"Brother Long, is everything alright at the bar?"

Chen Long said, "It's alright, I've already taken care of the police."

"If you ever need my help in the future, please don't hesitate to ask, Brother Long."

That's just how I am. When I meet someone I get along with, I'm eager to open my heart to them. Ghost Hand Li warned me when I got out of prison, but I just can't change.

Jiang Ruxue tried to stop me with her eyes, but the words were already out, how could I take them back?

Chen Long smiled with satisfaction and said, "Brother Lu is indeed righteous. You've saved Chen Hu twice. If I, as your older brother, don't do something in return, how can I face anyone in the future?"

He thought for a moment and said, "This bar has a daily turnover of over 100,000 yuan and the profits are quite considerable. I'd like to transfer 10% of its shares to you as a token of my appreciation. Would you be satisfied, Brother Lu?"

Upon hearing this, I immediately shook my head and hurriedly said, "Brother Long, I'm not helping Brother Hu for the money."

"Brother Lu, don't misunderstand. That's not what I meant. Giving you 10% of the shares is also out of sincerity, and I have another purpose."

Before I could speak, Chen Long continued, "I can see that Brother Lu is a talented person, and he's sure to have a bright future. I'm also investing now. Didn't you just say you'd call me if I needed anything? If you don't take this 10% share, how can I trouble you when I need something?"

His words left me unsure how to refuse, but I didn't want shares in the bar.

Jiang Ruxue noticed my predicament and said, "Mr. Chen, Xiaofeng has no experience in managing a bar, I think we should forget about it."

"How can that be? I, Chen Long, am a well-known figure in the underworld. How can I face others if I go back on my word?"

Chen Long insisted, and Chen Hu chimed in, "My brother told you to accept it, so just accept it. He has more than just this one business."

I didn't want to dwell on this topic, so after thinking for a moment, I said, "Brother Long and Brother Hu, I came to see you today because I need your help with something."

Chen Long raised his eyelids and said, "We're all brothers, you say it."

"I have a cousin who's been missing for the past few days. I wonder if you could help me find out anything about him."

Chen Long asked, "What does your cousin do? Why has he disappeared? Did he offend someone?"

Jiang Ruxue and I exchanged a glance, and I said, "My cousin owns a company. His disappearance is probably related to debts. He's been missing for seven or eight days now. This is a picture of my cousin."

Jiang Ruxue showed Chen Long and Chen Hu the photos of Lin Fang that she had saved on her phone.

Chen Hu looked closely and said, "Isn't this President Lin?"

Jiang Ruxue tensed up immediately and asked, "You know Lin Fang? Do you know where he is?"

I also stared longingly at Chen Hu.

Chen Hu said, "President Lin has disappeared? That's not surprising."

That sounded strange, so I asked Chen Hu, "Brother Hu, do you know my cousin?"

Chen Long glared at Chen Hu, who had no choice but to shut up.

Jiang Ruxue said urgently, "Mr. Chen, if you know where my husband is, please tell me."

Chen Long hesitated for a moment and said, "Since you are Brother Lu's sister-in-law, then you are one of us, and I won't hide it from you anymore, but I can't say this out loud."

Jiang Ruxue misunderstood Chen Long's meaning, took out her phone, and said, "I'll pay any price as long as you tell me."

This action shows that Jiang Ruxue loves Lin Fang.

For some reason, I felt a little jealous of Lin Fang.

When will I meet such a wonderful woman? I will love her dearly and never let her live like Lin Fang, leaving her alone in an empty room, living in fear and anxiety.

Chen Hu glared at him and said, "What do you mean by that? Are you looking down on us?"

Chen Long glared at Chen Hu again, and Chen Hu, seething with anger, turned away to smoke.

The most righteous are often the lowly butchers, while the most ungrateful are often the scholars.

I know these people in the underworld very well. They are generally concerned about their reputation and consider themselves generous and righteous. Jiang Ruxue's words were undoubtedly questioning Chen Long, which naturally displeased Chen Hu.

"Brother Long and Brother Hu, my sister-in-law is worried about my brother, don't take it to heart."

Chen Long didn't say anything, but I could tell from his expression that he knew Lin Fang and definitely knew something about him, but he couldn't say it in front of Jiang Ruxue.

Jiang Ruxue probably realized what was going on, and she was even more anxious. She said to Chen Long, "Mr. Chen, I beg you, if you know where Lin Fang is, please tell me. I... I'll kneel down for you."

As Jiang Ruxue was about to kneel down, Chen Long quickly stood up and said, "Okay, I'll tell you."

Jiang Ruxue sat back down in her original spot, looking at Chen Long with expectant eyes.

Chen Long thought for a moment and said, "Mr. Lin is a regular at our bar and is always generous. That's probably why a woman has her eye on him."

"Woman? What woman?" Jiang Ruxue suddenly tensed up.

Chen Long said, "I don't know this woman's name, but she got together with President Lin after a while. Of course, I don't know what happened between them."

He was very careful with his words when he said this, but I could tell that Lin Fang and this woman's relationship was definitely not ordinary.

Jiang Ruxue looked terrible, and I noticed that she was gripping her pants tightly with her hands.

"Although I don't know the woman's name, I know she's a liar."

I was taken aback: "A scam?"

"Well, before President Lin, she had already deceived at least three bosses. I hinted to President Lin, but President Lin had already... He probably didn't listen to me. At the time, I didn't know that President Lin was Brother Lu's cousin, so I didn't say anything more."

I was startled again. No wonder Lin Fang owed so much money; it seems it was all thanks to this woman.

Chen Long added, "But you can't blame President Lin for this. This woman is dressed very innocently, just like a female college student, giving people a feeling of first love. If I didn't know she was a fraud, I might have been fooled by her too."

Pure and innocent, like a first love, a female college student?

These words remind me of Ning Meng. Could it be that Ning Meng is the one who lied to my cousin...?
