I am a dragon

Chapter 42 Seizure

"Who?"

Jiang Ruxue asked nervously.

I turned my head and said, "They're from the court."

"People from the court?" Jiang Ruxue exclaimed in surprise.

I took a deep breath and opened the door. Three bailiffs—two men and one woman—stood outside. One of them asked, "Excuse me, is this Mr. Lin Fang's home?"

"Um, what can I do for you?"

"Here's the thing, Mr. Lin Fang owes a sum of money, and the other party has sued him in court, but Mr. Lin Fang has not shown up. Now, according to the original contract, the house is to be seized. Here are the relevant documents."

The documents handed to me by the bailiff made my right eye twitch.

I frowned and said, "Is there some misunderstanding here?"

"This is still in the property preservation stage. If you disagree with the court's judgment, you can appeal to a higher court," the bailiff said matter-of-factly. "Until then, the court has legally seized this house. Please understand."

"Get out! Get out of here!" Jiang Ruxue lunged at the three bailiffs, her emotions spiraling out of control in a hysterical outburst.

The bailiff said coldly, "Madam, please calm down. We are just following the law. If you obstruct law enforcement, we will have to call the police."

"I'm sorry, my sister-in-law is a bit agitated," I explained to the bailiff, holding onto Jiang Ruxue tightly.

The bailiff nodded in understanding and said to me, "Please move your personal belongings out by 9 a.m. tomorrow, otherwise, I can only apologize."

After saying that, he handed me the relevant documents, then closed the door and left.

Jiang Ruxue's eyes were fixed, her hands and feet flailing about, and she was yelling, "Lin Fang, you bastard, what have you been doing outside? Bastard, bastard... You're all bullying me! I'm not afraid of you! Come on, come on!"

She looked terrifying and was incredibly strong; I could barely hold her.

"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law!"

I grabbed her shoulders tightly, but she was like a maddened female beast, completely deaf to my pleas.

Just as she was about to crash into the wall, I gritted my teeth, raised my hand, and slapped her.

My palms burned with pain, and my heart skipped a beat.

This slap gradually brought Jiang Ruxue back to her senses, and her eyes became less rigid.

I breathed a sigh of relief.

Jiang Ruxue squatted on the ground, holding her head, and suddenly burst into tears.

Now is not the time to comfort her; she needs to vent.

I stood to the side, looking at Jiang Ruxue with pity.

She is outstanding and proud, with a job that everyone envies, and her husband is a boss; she has always lived a comfortable life.

Little did she know that almost overnight, everything she owned would slip away from her.

Her husband had disappeared without a trace, loan sharks came knocking on her door to collect debts, and even her last remaining house was seized by the court. Anyone would find this unbearable, let alone a woman who was living in an ivory tower.

What exactly happened to Lin Fang? Why did he run away without any warning, without giving any explanation before he left, and even neglecting his mistress's pregnancy?

Jiang Ruxue suddenly stood up, and before I could even understand what was happening, she had already hugged me tightly.

I was at a loss and wanted to push her away, but she was crying so hard that I couldn't bear to.

She had no choice but to use her as a body pillow.

She cried for a while, then gradually stopped. She probably realized she was in a man's arms, so she quickly stood up and left my embrace.

She sobbed, "I'm sorry..."

"Sister-in-law, I understand how you feel right now, but crying won't help. I think you should do as I say. Once you find my cousin, everything will become clear."

Jiang Ruxue was clearly at a loss, so she nodded and said, "Let's go call the police first. As for notifying my in-laws, let's wait until we get out of the police station."

"Then let's go now."

I turned to leave, but Jiang Ruxue stopped me. I asked suspiciously, "Sister-in-law, you're not having second thoughts, are you?"

Jiang Ruxue shook her head, her face flushing red, and said shyly, "Your clothes..."

I looked down and saw that my chest was covered in snot and tears.

"I'm sorry..." Jiang Ruxue wiped her tears and snot all over my body when she cried just now.

Jiang Ruxue went into the bathroom to wash her face. When she came out, her eyes were still red, but she was finally able to stand up.

I changed out of the clothes that were stained with snot and tears, and the two of us went out together.

Lin Fang has been missing for several days, which meets the criteria for filing a case for investigation. The police who received the report took a statement, registered Lin Fang's information, and said that they would do their best to find Lin Fang and would contact us if they had any news about him.

After thanking the police, I left the police station with Jiang Ruxue.

Back in the house, looking at everything so familiar, I suddenly felt a surge of emotion.

That's how people are; they don't appreciate what they have until they're about to lose it.

On her way back, Jiang Ruxue wanted to withdraw some cash for emergencies, but to her surprise, her salary card was frozen.

My head was buzzing. It seemed that Lin Fang not only borrowed money himself, but also used Jiang Ruxue's bank card to take out a loan or as collateral.

Thinking about this, I couldn't help but curse.

This was another fatal blow to Jiang Ruxue.

Jiang Ruxue's brows furrowed, and she became dazed. If I hadn't been quick-witted, she would have been hit by a car while crossing the road.

The driver rolled down the window and started cursing. I apologized repeatedly, and only then did he leave, still grumbling.

Jiang Ruxue's condition was very worrying. I was thinking of prescribing her a calming medicine to help her calm down.

After returning home, Jiang Ruxue kicked off her shoes, walked straight into the bedroom, and collapsed onto the bed, bursting into tears again.

I quickly massaged her acupoints, and this method was very effective. Jiang Ruxue wiped away her tears and said to me, "I'm fine now."

"Sister-in-law, you need to pull yourself together. The court is coming to seize the house tomorrow. You need to pack up your things. Once the house is seized, you won't be able to take them out."

After a series of setbacks, Jiang Ruxue was completely at a loss and saw me as her pillar of support.

After hearing my words, he asked blankly, "How is it possible to find a house in such a short time?"

This is a problem. I work in the neighborhood and know a few places that are for rent, but Jiang Ruxue's bank card is frozen, and I don't have much money on me, so I can't afford to rent.

You can't exactly leave things in the health consultation room, can you?

Zhou Mingyuan will definitely use this to his advantage.

Suddenly my eyes lit up, and I slapped my head.

How could I have forgotten about Tao Xiaotao?

Doesn't her family have a house in the community? They were planning to rent it to me. Jiang Ruxue has nowhere to live, so why don't I go to Tao Xiaotao?

Thinking of this, I said to Jiang Ruxue, "Sister-in-law, you pack your things first, I'm going out for a bit."

Jiang Ruxue seemed reluctant for me to leave and asked, "Where are you going?"

"I'll go visit a friend; maybe she has a place for us to stay."

I didn't have time to explain to her. I called Tao Xiaotao as I left the house.

Tao Xiaotao seemed very happy when she heard that I was going to see her, and invited me to her rented apartment.

I rushed over excitedly, but when I knocked on the door, I was completely dumbfounded.

Tao Xiaotao was wearing a white spaghetti strap nightgown, revealing her two snow-white thighs.

I stayed there, completely baffled as to what she was trying to do...
