I am a dragon

Chapter 66 Second Aunt's Anger

She even had the nerve to ask me if I liked her?

What about the face?

"Ning Meng, I can barely even tell who you are anymore, and you still have the nerve to ask me if I like you?"

Ning Meng's face instantly changed, and she said sternly, "If you can't come up with 500,000 within three days, even if you beat me to death, I won't tell you a single word!"

After she finished speaking, her lips trembled and tears welled up in her eyes.

"Lu Feng, you know I'm a mistress, but do you know how those filthy men tormented me?"

All those clothes in my closet were bought for me by those damn stinky men.

Ning Meng looked like a victim.

Who knows if this is just her act? I hardened my heart, didn't even look at Ning Meng, and turned to leave.

Suddenly, Jiang Ruxue grabbed my arm from behind, and I could feel her hand trembling.

"Xiaofeng, was I scary just now?"

"That's how you deal with a jerk like that."

Jiang Ruxue glanced behind her and whispered to me, "Ning Meng has an evil aura about her. People like that are capable of anything. You need to be careful."

I asked in a low voice, "Are you really planning to give her 500,000?"

Jiang Ruxue did not speak.

I thought for a moment and said, "Why don't we just go and ask Zhao Guoqiang directly?"

Jiang Ruxue shook her head and said, "Zhao Guoqiang is very shrewd. I've been deliberately avoiding him these past few days. If I look for him now, he definitely won't tell me anything."

She has a point; Ning Meng has become the only clue.

Where can we find 500,000 in three days?

In such extraordinary times, it is better to use some extraordinary measures.

Jiang Ruxue suddenly grabbed me, looked into my eyes, and said seriously, "Don't be impulsive. I'll go home and think of a way to raise 500,000 yuan first, and see what tricks Ning Meng is up to."

As she spoke, she took out her phone and said helplessly, "That was your second aunt calling just now. Let's go, let's make things clear."

"Don't worry, I'll be on your side."

I don't think Jiang Ruxue is to blame for the whole thing. Lin Fang's borrowing of high-interest loans and having an affair should not be forgiven.

Jiang Ruxue smiled at me but didn't say anything.

As soon as I stepped out of the building, I saw Tao Xiaotao rushing over. I almost jumped up: "How did you keep watch? We were almost trapped in our home!"

Tao Xiaotao said aggrievedly, "I called you, but your phone was off. I had no choice but to sneak in and rescue you."

I took out my phone and saw that Tao Xiaotao wasn't lying. The brand-new phone she just bought could shut down just like that.

However, if Tao Xiaotao had notified me in advance, I would have left earlier and wouldn't have known so much inside information.

Neither of us has a car, and taxis are too expensive, so we can only take the bus. I don't mind, and Tao Xiaotao didn't complain at all.

Brothers!

Tao Xiaotao wasn't on the same bus as us, so I let him get on the bus and go home to rest first, and then I went to the hotel with Jiang Ruxue.

My aunt and her husband were already getting impatient, and when they saw Jiang Ruxue, their faces drooped all the way down to their feet.

"When you get old, you become useless. You're not welcomed anywhere. No matter how nice this hotel is, it's not your own home. If my son hadn't been lost, I wouldn't have bothered coming to Miancheng."

The second aunt made a few sarcastic remarks, then turned to Jiang Ruxue and asked, "What are your intentions in leaving us unattended in the hotel?"

"Mom, you've misunderstood. Xiaofeng just got some clues, and we're going to look for them."

"My sister-in-law is right. I'll vouch for Jiang Ruxue."

To her surprise, her second aunt didn't believe her at all, saying, "Xiaofeng has only been in Miancheng for a few days. What clues could he possibly have? I think Xiaofeng is just like Lin Fang; he's been fooled by you."

Jiang Ruxue took a deep breath and said bitterly, "Mom, Lin Fang is my husband. I am more upset than you are about his loss. But if you say I lied to Lin Fang, when did I ever lie to him?"

On the contrary, Lin Fang took out a loan behind my back and also cheated on me with other women.

"Nonsense! How could my son do such a thing? Don't talk nonsense."

Auntie stood up abruptly and looked up at Jiang Ruxue.

My second aunt's husband stomped his foot: "Can't we family members talk things out properly...?"

"Pooh!"

My second aunt spat in my second uncle's face and cursed, "You good-for-nothing! You've found your son, and you're not worried at all? Your daughter-in-law is spitting in my face, and you're still pretending to be a good person. I've had the worst luck in eight lifetimes since I married into your Lin family."

As she spoke, Auntie sat down on the ground, slapping the floor and cursing Uncle and Jiang Ruxue.

Second Aunt's husband stomped his feet repeatedly, and Jiang Ruxue's eyes welled up with tears.

I glanced at my second aunt and noticed her eyes were glazed over. A sense of foreboding washed over me, and I quickly called out to my second uncle, "Uncle, my second aunt is delirious! Quick, catch her!"

My second aunt's husband went up to hug my second aunt, but she slapped him to the ground.

After hitting her second aunt's husband, her second aunt jumped up, veins bulging on her forehead, her face contorted in a ferocious expression, and reached out to grab Jiang Ruxue.

Jiang Ruxue screamed in fright, but luckily the door was open, and she turned to run away.

My aunt was shouting and yelling, and she was still chasing after Jiang Ruxue. I held my breath and hugged my aunt from behind with all my might.

The commotion in the room alerted the hotel security guards. When I saw them, I quickly asked one of them to come and help.

"The old woman is phlegm-induced delirium, please help me hold her!"

The two security guards exchanged a glance, not daring to approach.

I said anxiously, "I am the old woman's nephew, and the person behind her is her husband. There are security cameras in the hallway, what are you afraid of?"

"If something happens to the elderly person at your hotel, can you take responsibility?"

Upon hearing what I said, the two security guards reported to the front desk via walkie-talkie while stepping forward and hugging my aunt.

At this time, my second aunt was very strong. It took the two security guards a lot of effort to hold her down. Under my command, they pressed her onto the bed.

Jiang Ruxue returned, looking worried, and asked, "Xiaofeng, what are you doing?"

Before I could answer, I vigorously massaged the acupoints on my aunt's body. After a while, my aunt cried out "Ah!" and her body went limp as she fell into a deep sleep.

I breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the sweat from my forehead, and took out a cigarette to hand to the two security guards.

The security guard was astonished: "You...you're a geomancer?"

I waved my hands repeatedly and said, "I am a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner. What I just did was massage, not a ritual."

The security guard seemed skeptical, and I was too lazy to explain. I thanked him again, and he left, marveling at the sight.

As soon as the door closed, Jiang Ruxue looked at her second aunt lying on the bed and asked with lingering fear, "Mom, are you alright?"

"It's alright now."

I sat on the hotel sofa and said to my second aunt's husband, "Uncle, you really misunderstood my sister-in-law."

"I know, but you also know your second aunt's temper," the second aunt's husband sighed. "You have to understand us. Lin Fang is our only son. If anything happens to him, how are we supposed to live?"

As my second aunt's husband spoke, tears streamed down his face.

Jiang Ruxue was moved and sobbed, "Dad, don't worry, no matter what hardships I encounter, I will find Lin Fang."

I couldn't stand the scene, so I said, "Uncle, let Auntie rest first. She'll be fine once she wakes up. I'll go find my cousin. Let me know when Auntie wakes up."

Without saying a word, I left the room and waited in the corridor for a while. Sure enough, I saw Jiang Ruxue come out of the room.

She looked exhausted and her complexion was poor. I asked with concern, "Sister-in-law, are you alright?"

Jiang Ruxue leaned against the wall with one hand and waved her hand with the other, saying, "I'm fine, Xiaofeng. I'm going back to my parents' home these next couple of days to raise some money. We must find Lin Fang's whereabouts this time."

I instinctively grabbed her arm, but then realized it wasn't appropriate and immediately let go.

"Sister-in-law, 500,000 is no small sum, you..."

"Stop talking, we must find Lin Fang no matter what." Jiang Ruxue's tone left no room for argument.

"Leave it to me, I have a way."

My tone was firm.
