I am a dragon

Beating Zhou Mingyuan felt great, but that feeling quickly faded.

I walked to a deserted corner, plopped down on a statue, and took out a cigarette.

He took a deep breath, and the smoke he exhaled got into his eyes, making his eyes well up with tears.

I don't understand why. Back then, I was saving someone, but I ended up in jail for five years. Now, I just want to work hard and support myself, but it's so difficult for me.

Tao Xiaotao stood next to me and asked, "Lu Feng, do you and Xu Lanya have some kind of relationship?"

Her words brought me back to reality. Feeling guilty, I didn't dare look her in the eye and vehemently denied it.

"No."

Tao Xiaotao didn't believe it: "She's usually so strong-willed and looks down on everyone, why would she stand up for you?"

I quickly explained, "President Xu said that I was the first person she came up with the idea of ​​being a health consultant. Now that Zhou Mingyuan has fired me, isn't that a slap in her face? Of course she's angry."

Tao Xiaotao said, "You're right. You should spend less time with Xu Lanya in the future."

Of course I knew the consequences; the river in Cotton City was deep enough to drown me.

"I'm not saying my brother is going after you, but this woman is not simple. On the surface, she is the vice president of Jinhai Property, but in reality, she is a big boss with connections and money."

I looked up at Tao Xiaotao, who looked very serious.

"You mean Mr. Xu has connections to organized crime?"

"You can't call it organized crime, but she has quite a few shady businesses."

Tao Xiaotao's words alarmed me. Xu Lanya had a triad background and also liked Jiang Ruxue.

Is Lin Fang's disappearance related to her?

The situation is becoming increasingly confusing.

"Lu Feng, are you really dating Ning Meng?"

Tao Xiaotao blinked and asked me.

I didn't know how to answer her. If I said yes, I would be lying to her; if I said no, Su Kun might find out. It wouldn't matter if Ning Meng's brother lost his job, but I'd be living under the same roof as Tao Xiaotao every day—Su Kun would tear me apart!

"Of course," I said, forcing myself to speak.

Tao Xiaotao said disdainfully, "You're really something, wearing your cousin's leftovers. If you really want to take over your cousin's business, you might as well sleep with Jiang Ruxue. Ning Meng is a menace."

"That's enough!"

Tao Xiaotao was getting more and more outrageous, so I loudly stopped her, "Don't talk nonsense, or people will laugh at you."

Tao Xiaotao glanced around and suddenly wrapped her arms around my neck. Because she was shorter than me, it was as if she was hanging on me.

She always liked to put her arms around my neck. I didn't think much of it before, but now I'm terrified.

"Get down, get down! What kind of behavior is this?"

Feeling guilty, I looked around and sure enough, I saw someone looking in our direction.

Ning Meng was one of them.

Tao Xiaotao also saw Ning Meng, but instead of letting go, she hugged her even tighter, her eyes full of provocation.

That girl did it on purpose.

Ning Meng stepped forward, not daring to look Tao Xiaotao in the eye, and timidly said to me, "Lu Feng, I need to buy some daily necessities. What do you need? I'll buy it for you."

Tao Xiaotao made a surprising statement: "We need a box of condoms. Go buy them. Remember, they have to be... well, they have to be good ones."

I quickly covered Tao Xiaotao's mouth, but she bit my hand instead, and I pulled away in pain.

Tao Xiaotao stared at Ning Meng: "Aren't you Lu Feng's girlfriend? I'm hugging your boyfriend right now, aren't you going to react?"

Ning Meng looked up at Tao Xiaotao and said, "An outstanding man will always have women pursuing him. If Miss Su is pursuing Lu Feng, then it means I have good taste."

"Damn!" Tao Xiaotao gave her a thumbs up. "You're awesome, Ning Meng. Don't pretend to be so generous. You'd better keep your little schemes to yourself, or you'll regret it!"

I crawled out from under Tao Xiaotao's arm and looked at Ning Meng in surprise. I didn't expect Ning Meng to be so eloquent.

Ning Meng is certainly not my girlfriend, but in front of Tao Xiaotao, I have to admit that she is my girlfriend.

I didn't think much of it, I just gave Ning Meng a big thumbs up in my heart.

Ning Meng said, "Xiao Tao, I think you must have some misunderstanding."

Tao Xiaotao pointed at Ning Meng, interrupting her, and said, "There's no misunderstanding. Anyway, I'll keep an eye on you, so don't give me any leverage over you."

Ning Meng still looked frail and seemed unable to speak, only nodding at her.

Tao Xiaotao turned to me and said, "Lu Feng, you're just too naive. Sometimes you shouldn't trust your eyes."

I didn't think much of it, assuming it was because Tao Xiaotao disliked Ning Meng, but I never expected the truth to be so shocking and terrifying.

After giving Ning Meng a warning look, Tao Xiaotao got into the car and rolled down the window, saying to me, "By the way, I'm going back to my place tonight. I want to see if you two are a couple."

After saying that, she sped off without waiting for me to reply.

As I watched Tao Xiaotao's departing figure, I said to Ning Meng, "Ning Meng, don't take Tao Xiaotao seriously. I think she's just spoiled by President Su."

"Isn't this how all spoiled young ladies are?" Ning Meng smiled at me, then said worriedly, "Tao Xiaotao is going back to stay today, so we'll have to..."

"Lu Feng, you absolutely cannot let President Su know that we're not a real couple, otherwise my brother will lose his job. I know I shouldn't be forcing you, but please help me, I beg you."

Ning Meng grabbed my hand and pleaded with me, tears welling up in her eyes.

My heart softened immediately, and I nodded, saying, "Don't worry, if I wanted to expose them, wouldn't I have already told President Su?"

Ning Meng said, moved, "Lu Feng, you're such a good person. I'll find a chance to break up with you once my brother's job is stable."

To be honest, Ning Meng is indeed a bit inferior to Jiang Ruxue and Xu Lanya, but her overall strength is not bad. However, she has been pregnant with Lin Fang's child, so how can I be attracted to her?

"Oh right, I think I know how to find my cousin now."

Ning Meng's eyes lit up with joy, and she asked, "You have news about President Lin?"

I shook my head and said, "Not yet, but I think we should have some clues."

"Teacher Jiang is home right now, and I have nothing to do. How about I go with you?"

Seeing Ning Meng's expectant eyes, I couldn't bear to refuse: "Okay."

"Where are you going?"

"Night Bar"

To my surprise, when Ning Meng heard about Night Bar, a hint of panic flashed in her eyes, which I happened to see. I asked, puzzled, "What's wrong with you? You seem to have a strong aversion to Night Bar."

Last time I suspected Ning Meng was the one who tricked me, Lin Fang. Now that she's afraid to go to Nightshade Bar, it makes me even more suspicious...
