I am a dragon

"Brother Tiger, you're not kidding me."

"She must be the woman who cheated on Mr. Lin at the bar. I just saw her; she has a red mole on her left arm."

Chen Hu's serious expression stirred something within me.

Ning Meng lied to me, and I suspected her too. But I once sent Ning Meng's photo to Chen Hu, and Chen Hu denied that Ning Meng was a female con artist who frequented nightclubs. So why is he saying that Ning Meng is a con artist today?

I am confused by Chen Hu's contradictory statements.

Chen Hu said, "I don't know the woman you sent me last time, but I'm sure Ning Meng is a female swindler."

I'm even more confused now.

Chen Hu explained, "None of the women in nightclubs are real. Their hair, eyelashes, and even their breasts and buttocks are fake. But I just saw that woman named Ning Meng, and I recognized her from behind."

"Are you sure it's her?" I felt my breathing quicken.

Chen Hu nodded: "That should be right. I heard this woman is your girlfriend? You need to be careful; she might be related to President Lin's disappearance."

The news Chen Hu brought was so shocking that I couldn't process it all at once.

If Ning Meng is really a female swindler, why would she stay by my side after deceiving Lin Fang?

What is her purpose?

What exactly is her relationship with Su Kun?

Is it related to the kidnappers?

This series of questions is giving me a headache. I don't have the answers, but I have to find them.

On the way back, Tao Xiaotao complained, "Ning Meng is really something, she disappeared in the blink of an eye."

I was preoccupied with my own thoughts, so I gave a perfunctory reply. Seeing that I was in a bad mood, Tao Xiaotao also shut up.

We arrived at the rented room just as Jiang Ruxue arrived.

Tao Xiaotao was sitting on the sofa watching TV. I gave Jiang Ruxue a wink, and she followed me to the balcony to chat.

"What did the lawyer say?"

"They took my information and decided to represent me in court, but once the trial begins, it will definitely not be over in a short time. They suggested that I handle it privately."

Jiang Ruxue rubbed her brows, looking helpless.

I looked at her with heartache: "I think we still need to find your cousin."

A hint of sadness flashed in Jiang Ruxue's eyes: "If he really was kidnapped, and there's been no news of him for so long, I'm afraid..."

Jiang Ruxue's considerations were not without merit; Lin Fang had probably already been killed.

I thought for a moment, then lowered my voice and said, "We have a new lead now."

"What clue?" Jiang Ruxue raised an eyebrow and asked.

"Chen Hu recognized Ning Meng as the female swindler who had deceived my brother."

"How is this possible?" Jiang Ruxue exclaimed, startling Tao Xiaotao, who craned her neck to look at the balcony.

Jiang Ruxue quickly shut her mouth, but her body was trembling slightly, and she held onto the balcony railing.

"Sister-in-law, are you alright?"

I got her a stool and had her sit down.

Jiang Ruxue clutched her chest, her expression one of disbelief.

"are you sure?"

I told the truth, "I don't know either, but I don't think Chen Hu would lie to me."

Jiang Ruxue's expression was very unpleasant, and it took her a long time to recover: "If Ning Meng is really a female swindler, why is she still staying?"

"I don't know. Starting today, we'll act as usual, and then I'll hint at an investigation. We're sure we can find some clues."

Jiang Ruxue nodded: "Then be careful."

"I know." Before I could finish speaking, Ning Meng opened the door and came in.

Tao Xiaotao didn't want to talk to Ning Meng. As soon as Ning Meng came in, Tao Xiaotao went back to her bedroom.

"Sister-in-law, Lu Feng."

Ning Meng came back from outside carrying two large bags of things. Jiang Ruxue and I exchanged a glance.

Jiang Ruxue adjusted her breathing, stepped forward, and took the things from Ning Meng's hands.

She still had a smile on her face, but it seemed a bit forced. When she reached out to take the item, her fingers trembled, and she almost dropped it.

"Sister-in-law, you've been running around all day, take a rest, I'll get it."

I added a sentence to smooth things over.

Ning Meng said apologetically, "I'm so sorry. When I was waiting for you at the police station, I was going to go out and buy some water for everyone, but when I got back, Officer Meng told me that you had already gone home."

Jiang Ruxue walked up from behind and asked in surprise, "Why did you go to the police station?"

Not wanting Jiang Ruxue to worry about me, I casually said, "It's nothing, I just went to the police station to ask about my cousin."

Jiang Ruxue was preoccupied with her own thoughts and naturally didn't notice my unusual behavior. I tried my best to remain calm and said to Ning Meng, "You need to rest and recuperate. Don't lift such heavy things in the future."

Tao Xiaotao overheard this as she came out, and immediately became jealous, saying, "What a considerate boyfriend! Fine, aren't you two a couple? I'll sleep in the living room tonight. If you two sleep separately in the middle of the night, then there must be a problem."

Ning Meng remained silent and entered the room. Under Tao Xiaotao's intense gaze, I followed her in.

On the surface, I acted as usual, but inwardly I became more vigilant.

Ning Meng sat on the bed, looking apologetic, and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't expect Tao Xiaotao to come and keep an eye on us."

"It's okay, I can sleep on the floor tonight. It's so hot anyway, the ground will be cool."

I spoke naturally, but my doubts about Ning Meng grew deeper and deeper.

Ning Meng lowered her head and said, "Please don't take your anger out on Liu Chaoyang."

"I think Liu Chaoyang is a good young man."

"Maybe it's because we're too familiar with each other. We've been together since we were little, so we don't have that kind of feeling."

I thought to myself, "You're doing this because Liu Chaoyang is poor, aren't you?"

At dinner time, Jiang Ruxue cooked the meal before Tao Xiaotao sat down at the table.

There were four of us. Ning Meng and I sat together, Tao Xiaotao sat opposite us, and Jiang Ruxue sat next to Tao Xiaotao.

Jiang Ruxue didn't have much of an appetite or didn't want to be with Ning Meng. She ate a couple of bites and then went back to her bedroom. Tao Xiaotao kept giving Ning Meng unfriendly stares.

I didn't want to get involved in the fight between the two women, so I buried myself in my food. Suddenly, I felt a small foot brush against my calf.

I almost choked on my rice and started coughing. Ning Meng quickly poured me some water, while Tao Xiaotao winked at me playfully.

This little devil won't even let me eat in peace.

After dinner, Ningmeng and I went back to the bedroom.

The weather outside was gloomy but no rain, making one feel as if there was a lump of cotton stuck in their chest.

I slept on the floor and casually turned on the dehumidification function of the air conditioner. Ningmeng was lying on the bed talking to me.

We chatted casually, but perhaps because I've been under a lot of stress lately, my eyelids started to feel heavy and my consciousness started to blur.

I don't know how much time passed, but the surroundings became pitch black, and I vaguely saw a shadow slowly walking towards me.

I was inexplicably frightened, and by the light from somewhere, I could see that it was Ning Meng.

Ning Meng's face was full of murderous intent, and she was holding a sharp knife in her hand. When she walked up to me, I couldn't move or scream.

Ning Meng looked at me, a sinister smile curling at the corner of her lips, which terrified me so much that my soul almost left my body and I broke out in a cold sweat.

Suddenly she raised the sharp knife and plunged it into my heart...
