I am a dragon

Jiang Ruxue hurriedly pulled out her phone and hung up.

But it was too late. I pushed open the wardrobe and jumped out.

As soon as I went outside, I saw the astonished expression on Ning Meng's face.

At that moment, I didn't care about anything else. Without further ado, I grabbed Ning Meng by the neck and shouted, "What happened to my brother? If you don't tell me today, I'll strangle you!"

I wasn't joking with her. I used a lot of force. Ning Meng, who was short of breath, opened her mouth wide and tried to pry my hands off with both hands. Her face turned red and her eyes were wide open, as if they were about to pop out.

When Ning Tao, with his slicked-back hair and powdered face, saw that I was choking Ning Meng and that I looked fierce, he panicked instantly and pleaded, "Who are you? Don't kill my sister!"

"I'm that poor bastard you're talking about, Lin Fang's cousin!"

I turned my head and glanced at him, and immediately recognized him as the man who had argued with Ning Meng at the breakfast stall that day.

He is Ning Tao, Ning Meng's younger brother.

I must look terrifying. Ning Tao was so frightened that he turned pale and trembled, unable to speak.

Ning Meng kept slapping my hand, and Jiang Ruxue, who came out of the closet, also looked flustered and pulled me away from behind.

Before Ning Meng could catch her breath, Jiang Ruxue stepped forward and slapped Ning Meng across the face, saying coldly, "This slap is for Lin Fang."

Unlike Ning Tao, Ning Meng became surprisingly calm after a brief moment of astonishment, even with a strong sense of sarcasm on her lips.

"You guys are pretty clever, you actually managed to find my real address. It seems you've suspected me for a long time."

But I'd like to ask, what does it feel like for your brother-in-law and sister-in-law to be holed up in a closet full of sexy lingerie?

"You bitch!"

Snapped!

Jiang Ruxue slapped Ning Meng again, her gaze cold and clear, clearly furious.

Ning Meng remained unmoved; the mockery on her face only intensified. She even took out a cigarette, lit it, and gently exhaled a puff of smoke.

The smoke obscured her features.

"Teacher Jiang, do you think I'm despicable? You can't advise others to be kind if you haven't experienced their suffering. I grew up in a family that favored boys over girls."

Do you know what? I used to be a very good student, the top student in the whole school. Our principal even said that I would definitely get into a top middle school. But because of this good-for-nothing, my family forced me to give up my studies.

I drifted into society when I was a teenager, dealing with all sorts of people. I worked as a waiter and cleaner, sold alcohol and sang in bars, and even sold my body.

But I can never escape that home, that bloodsucking family! My bloodsucking brother!

Ning Meng pointed at Ning Tao, who was terrified and pale. These words seemed to have been hidden in her heart for a long time, and she finally vented them today.

After hearing Ning Meng's words, I felt sympathy. I was grateful to live in a happy family with loving parents who did not give up on me even after I had been in prison for five years.

But when I think of Lin Fang, my heart immediately hardens again.

"Stop playing the victim! We're not buying it. I've already recorded what you just said on my phone."

Ning Meng wiped away her tears and said emotionlessly, "Then go and call the police to see if you can find Lin Fang."

"Oh shit!"

I hardened my heart and punched Ning Meng in the stomach. She doubled over in pain, but stubbornly said, "Go ahead and kill me. I've had enough of living anyway. Damn it, in my next life I'll be a man and fuck every woman in the world, hahaha..."

Ning Meng suddenly burst into a morbid laugh, a terrifying sound.

Jiang Ruxue grabbed my arm in fear, her body trembling slightly.

I slapped her again, this time to calm her down.

Ning Meng stared into my eyes and said with a self-deprecating smile, "You just want to know Lin Fang's whereabouts, right? Five hundred thousand. As long as you give me five hundred thousand so I can buy this useless brother a car, I'll tell you."

"Do you still have room for negotiation?"

I grabbed Ning Meng by the collar and yelled fiercely.

Ning Meng appeared nonchalant, her gaze defiant as she said, "So what if you're recording me? Do you think I'll tell the police where Lin Fang is?"

Before I could speak, she continued, "Once I get into the police station, the people involved in this will know, and they will take action."

I'm just asking you, do you want to know the truth or not?

I met her gaze, and our eyes met. Scenes from the past flashed through my mind.

"Okay, five hundred thousand it is!" Jiang Ruxue replied from behind.

"sister in law……"

I don't believe Ning Meng's nonsense, but I don't have a good solution right now.

Releasing a tiger back into the mountains is not advisable, but stirring up trouble and alerting the snake is even worse.

After thinking it over, I realized that agreeing to Ning Meng's request was the best outcome.

However, the initiative has fallen into Ning Meng's hands, which makes me very unwilling.

Jiang Ruxue whispered behind me, "Let's leave first."

I suddenly realized.

Anyway, I still have the phone recording, so what am I afraid of? If things don't work out, we can always part ways in the end.

"You better keep your word," I threatened Ning Meng, pointing at her.

Ning Meng said with a smirk, "I'll talk when I see the money, but I'll give you three days. After three days, I can't guarantee I'll remember anything from the past."

"Okay, three days it is," Jiang Ruxue agreed.

Ning Meng nodded, then suddenly said, "I have another request."

"What are the requirements?" I felt inexplicably irritated.

"I still have to live with you."

Ning Meng's words were unbelievable to me. I angrily retorted, "Bullshit, I have nothing to do with you in the first place."

They were trying to help me before, but now they've turned on me. I'm not a saint, and besides, Ning Meng is with me; who knows what her motives are?

Ning Meng explained, "I had no choice. It was President Su's request. Otherwise, my brother would really lose his job."

How dare you mention Su Kun? I almost forgot about that.

"What's your relationship with Su Kun? Why did he push you to my side?"

I stared intently into Ning Meng's eyes, trying to discern whether she was lying about what she was about to say.

That woman lies three times out of every ten sentences; I don't trust her.

Ning Meng took a deep drag of her cigarette, threw the butt on the ground, stubbed it out with her foot, and said dejectedly, "I don't know President Su, so who knows what's going on with him?"

After I met him at the hospital that day, he quickly found me and made an agreement with me: as long as we were still boyfriend and girlfriend, he would introduce my brother to his company.

I've never lied to you about this. I guess he doesn't want his sister to be with you, right?

If he finds out we broke up, he'll not only fire my brother, but he'll also go after you.

I nodded. Ning Meng guessed the same way I did, but Ning Meng didn't know that Su Kun's ultimate goal was to take his sister for himself.

"You can go back, but if you dare to try anything funny, I won't be polite!"

The reason I agreed was because I was worried that if Ning Meng wasn't in the rented apartment, who knew what Su Kun might do?

This is not only protecting Ningmeng and her brother, but also protecting me.

The matter was settled, and I gestured to Jiang Ruxue to prepare to leave. Ning Meng suddenly asked from behind me, "Lu Feng, did you ever like me?"

I stopped in my tracks, slowly turned my head, and faced Ning Meng...
