I am a dragon

He went downstairs, crossed his legs, and sat on a sofa. A woman in stockings and high heels sat next to him and lit a cigarette for Zhao Guoqiang.

Tao Xiaotao and I stood in front of him, surrounded by a group of henchmen, each with a stern look on their faces and a menacing gaze.

The atmosphere was tense and oppressive.

Ignoring everything else, I stared at Zhao Guoqiang and asked, "Did my sister-in-law, Jiang Ruxue, come to see you?"

"That's right," Zhao Guoqiang readily admitted.

My heart jumped: "Where...is she now?"

Zhao Guoqiang revealed a playful smile: "You want to know?"

"Um."

Zhao Guoqiang pointed to the ground in front of him and said sarcastically, "I would say she has already..."

"What's wrong?" I felt my breathing quicken, staring intently at Zhao Guoqiang's mouth, afraid he would say something I couldn't accept.

Zhao Guoqiang's lips still curled into a mocking smile as he said, "Kneel down and beg me, and I might consider letting you meet Jiang Ruxue."

kneel down?

This is the third person to make me kneel down today.

This concerns Jiang Ruxue. Should I kneel down?

I am torn between my inner thoughts and my own.

"How do we know your sister-in-law is in your hands?" Tao Xiaotao shouted.

This sentence reminded me.

Zhao Guoqiang took out a cell phone and showed it to me; it was indeed Jiang Ruxue's phone.

Jiang Ruxue's phone is in Zhao Guoqiang's hands, so what about her...?

I dared not think any further. A nameless anger surged within me, making my veins bulge and my fists clench.

At that moment, I felt like a wild beast poised to pounce.

No, it's a trapped beast!

Zhao Guoqiang put his phone away and said, "Jiang Ruxue has delicate skin..."

What did you do to her?

I suddenly snapped and lunged at Zhao Guoqiang, but halfway there I was hit with an iron rod, which struck my back hard. I lost my balance and fell.

It happened to fall right at Zhao Guoqiang's feet.

I was about to get up when two burly men pinned me down.

Zhao Guoqiang's big leather shoes stepped on my face.

I felt no shame; my only concern was for Jiang Ruxue's safety.

"Where is my sister-in-law?" I almost screamed.

"Let go of Brother Feng!"

Tao Xiaotao didn't back down; instead, she rushed forward, only to be pinned to the ground just like me.

Zhao Guoqiang rubbed my face with his heavy leather shoe, and said in a sinister tone, "If you want to see Jiang Ruxue, kneel down!"

At the same time, he made a gesture, signaling his underlings to let me go.

I struggled to my feet, staring intently at Zhao Guoqiang, countless thoughts flashing through my mind.

Running? Fighting? It's no use, Jiang Ruxue is still in his hands.

I gritted my teeth and thought to myself, this kneeling is for Jiang Ruxue.

I bent my knees and knelt down before Zhao Guoqiang.

Are you satisfied now?

The cold words were squeezed out from between my teeth.

Zhao Guoqiang didn't care at all and said, "It seems you're quite loyal to Teacher Jiang. Your relationship doesn't seem like that of a brother-in-law and sister-in-law. You wouldn't kill Lin Fang just to possess Jiang Ruxue, would you?"

"Bullshit! Lin Fang was clearly kidnapped by you."

Snapped!

Zhao Guoqiang slapped me hard, and my body swayed, almost falling to the ground.

I clenched my fists even tighter, and my bones were cracking.

Zhao Guoqiang said, "So what if you've been to jail? You think you're so great? You even stand up for others. Why don't you take a piss and look at yourself in the mirror and see what you are?"

However, I'm in a bad mood today, so I'll take this opportunity to make fun of you. If you make me happy, I promise I'll let you take Jiang Ruxue back with you.

"Who the hell wants to kneel before you?" Tao Xiaotao took out her phone to make a call, but before she knew it, someone behind her snatched the phone away.

Several people surrounded Tao Xiaotao, their eyes filled with malice.

"Stop!" I yelled.

Zhao Guoqiang, however, burst into laughter.

"stop!"

Tao Xiaotao screamed.

Zhao Guoqiang frowned and asked, "What do you want to do?"

Tao Xiaotao said, "I need to make a phone call. You won't be afraid to let me, will you?"

Zhao Guoqiang looked Tao Xiaotao up and down, as if he recognized her and thought he had seen her somewhere before.

"Who are you?"

Zhao Guoqiang asked.

Tao Xiaotao remained arrogant in front of Zhao Guoqiang, saying, "I'm just a nobody, a friend of Lu Feng."

Zhao Guoqiang said, "Since you are unwilling to reveal your name, then I will not be polite."

"Zhao Guoqiang, right? I'm afraid you'll regret it later if you don't let me make this call," Tao Xiaotao said.

At this moment, I admired Tao Xiaotao. But then I thought, Tao Xiaotao must call Su Kun. Given Su Kun's status in Miancheng, Zhao Guoqiang would definitely give him face.

I don't want to owe Su Kun a favor, but at this point, I have no choice but to.

All I want now is to see Jiang Ruxue immediately and take her away from this awful place.

Zhao Guoqiang stared at Tao Xiaotao for a few seconds, then gave his underling a look and said, "Let her make the call."

The younger brother returned the phone to Tao Xiaotao.

Zhao Guoqiang turned to me and said provocatively, "Lu Feng, you're not even as good as a dog, yet you dare to come and save people? I think you don't want to live anymore."

Let me tell you, I've already... haha, I have to say, Teacher Jiang is truly a rare gem.

The laughter exploded in my head, and I couldn't hold back any longer. I suddenly lunged at Zhao Guoqiang, wanting to smash his nose.

Zhao Guoqiang had anticipated this. Before I could make a move, he kicked me in the stomach with his big leather shoe. I felt a churning sensation and collapsed to the ground like a dog.

Two burly men stepped forward, stepping on my back. Zhao Guoqiang grabbed the woman next to him and, in front of so many people, shoved his hand inside her, leering, "You want to see how I treat Jiang Ruxue, don't you? Fine, I'll show you again, ha, ha..."

My head buzzed, and I completely lost my mind, but all I could do was rage helplessly, unable to do anything.

I hate myself, I hate myself for being so weak, for not being able to protect Jiang Ruxue.

Tao Xiaotao made the call, put it on speakerphone, and placed it in front of Zhao Guoqiang.

An old man's voice came from the phone.

"Is this President Zhao?" The voice sounded authoritative and imposing.

Zhao Guoqiang sneered, "Who are you? Lu Feng's grandfather?"

There was a pause on the other end, followed by, "I'm Qiao Laoliu. Surely President Zhao doesn't not recognize me?"

Before he could finish speaking, Zhao Guoqiang's expression changed drastically. He pushed the woman in his arms aside, glanced at Tao Xiaotao, and his tone was no longer arrogant: "Sixth Master... is General Manager Xu one of your men?"

"Release them." There was no reply from the other end of the phone, only a curt statement.

Zhao Guoqiang took a deep breath, looked at me, and his expression grew increasingly grim...
