I am a dragon

Chapter 73 I owe Sixth Master Qiao a huge favor

"...Alright, since Sixth Master has spoken, of course I'll do as he says. I didn't know this young man was Sixth Master's man. I just made a joke with him. I'll definitely come to apologize another day."

Zhao Guoqiang forced a smile and said into his phone, barely holding back his anger.

"Give the phone to Lu Feng."

Tao Xiaotao picked up her phone, handed it to me, and turned off the hands-free function.

I held my phone, filled with doubt.

"Sixth Master, thank you, I..."

Qiao Laoliu interrupted me: "I saved you twice. The first time was to repay a favor, and this time you owe me a favor. Remember to repay me in the future."

I don't like Qiao Laoliu's tone of voice; he's arrogant, cold, and ruthless.

But he did save me both times. I don’t know when I owed him such a big favor. I don’t even know Qiao Laoliu.

I wanted to ask him, but Qiao Laoliu hung up the phone after he finished speaking.

I stood up and handed the phone back to Tao Xiaotao, then asked Zhao Guoqiang, "Where's my sister-in-law?"

With Qiao Laoliu backing him up, Zhao Guoqiang's tone changed; he sounded somewhat unwilling and helpless.

"Since you know Sixth Master, then let's call it even today. I underestimated you."

Zhao Guoqiang looked puzzled.

I couldn't be bothered to listen to his nonsense and shouted, "Where's my sister-in-law?"

"Who the hell knows?" Zhao Guoqiang said angrily. "She came to see me, but then she left."

I simply didn't believe it: "Do you think I'm a child? You're leaving? How did your phone end up here?"

"She left the phone behind, believe it or not." Zhao Guoqiang waved his hand impatiently.

"You think you'll let my sister-in-law off so easily?"

"I originally didn't intend to let Jiang Ruxue go, but it turns out she knows her..."

Zhao Guoqiang stopped abruptly and said, "Anyway, Jiang Ruxue isn't here with me, and I haven't done anything to her. Get lost, my patience is limited."

Before I could say anything more, my phone suddenly rang.

"Xiaofeng, are you at the Maple Leaf Forest Nightclub?"

It was Jiang Ruxue's voice. I exclaimed excitedly, "Sister-in-law, where are you?"

"Come out here. I'm outside. I left my phone with Zhao Guoqiang. Have him bring it to you."

Jiang Ruxue's voice didn't sound like something had happened, so I breathed a sigh of relief. I put Jiang Ruxue's phone in my pocket and said to Tao Xiaotao and Xiao Ma, "Let's go."

After I finished speaking, I walked outside, but someone blocked my way. I stared at the person blocking my way, and after a few seconds of stalemate, they made way for us.

I walked out of the Maple Leaf Nightclub.

I finally breathed a sigh of relief after leaving the nightclub; a gust of wind blew, and my back was covered in cold sweat.

I searched everywhere for Jiang Ruxue and sure enough, I saw her wearing a dark blue off-shoulder dress, looking charming and sexy.

"sister in law."

I walked quickly toward her.

Jiang Ruxue nodded to me, then said to Tao Xiaotao behind me, "President Xu, I'm sorry, I didn't expect to bother you."

Tao Xiaotao said, "Teacher Jiang, Lu Feng almost risked his life for you."

That sounded a bit off, so I quickly said, "My brother's not here, so of course I have to protect my sister-in-law. Otherwise, how can I explain it to my cousin?"

Tao Xiaotao said, "You two must have a lot to talk about, so I'll be going now."

She seemed to have something to do and left in a hurry.

I turned to Jiang Ruxue and said, "Sister-in-law, did Zhao Guoqiang give you any trouble? I learned from Ning Meng that you were tricked into going to Maple Forest. I tried to find you, but you didn't answer your phone. I don't know what to do... I..."

A look of emotion flashed in Jiang Ruxue's eyes, and she smiled, "You've said so much in one breath, how am I supposed to answer you? Let's go home first."

"Um."

I took out my phone to hail a taxi, but then Jiang Ruxue took out her car keys and pressed a button, and a Toyota Camry next to us beeped.

Isn't this Jiang Ruxue's car?

Wasn't it seized by the court?

Jiang Ruxue had already gotten into the car and beckoned me to get in as well.

I got into the passenger seat and watched Jiang Ruxue start the car. Curious, I asked, "Did the court return your car?"

Jiang Ruxue was driving with her eyes fixed straight ahead when a little boy on a bicycle suddenly darted out. She quickly braked and waited until the boy was gone before saying, "Not only did they return my car, but they also unsealed the house."

"Huh? My brother's back?"

I can't think of any other way besides having Lin return the money and pay it back.

A hint of sadness flashed in Jiang Ruxue's eyes: "Your brother... your brother didn't come back, but things have come to a conclusion."

"What happened?" I asked anxiously.

"Now we understand. Your brother's business failed, and he owes the bank a large sum of money. That's why the bank seized his assets."

Later, your brother borrowed over a million yuan from Batong Financial, which is Zhao Guoqiang's company, to invest abroad. You mentioned last time that someone saw him being pushed into a car; that should be the so-called partner.

But where is your cousin now? Is he alive or dead...?

Jiang Ruxue couldn't continue speaking, and my heart sank inch by inch.

How could Zhao Guoqiang possibly settle this debt so easily? I imagined a terrifying scene and couldn't help but ask, "Sister-in-law, did you make some kind of deal with him?"

The car was already on the main road. There weren't many cars on the road in the afternoon, and Jiang Ruxue sped up. After hearing what I said, she turned her head and glanced at me, saying, "I, Jiang Ruxue, am not that shameless."

Realizing I had misspoke, I quickly tried to cover it up, saying, "That's not what I meant. I was just worried you'd be bullied."

Jiang Ruxue smiled. Perhaps it was my imagination, but I saw a hint of tenderness in her eyes. She said, "With you here, who would dare to bully me?"

In short, don't ask anymore, the debt matter has been settled.

I felt a surge of pride, but Jiang Ruxue's words seemed to conceal something else, and Zhao Guoqiang's half-sentence left me completely puzzled.

He said that Jiang Ruxue knew someone, and considering that Jiang Ruxue had already paid off her debts, this person must be someone with a very powerful background, powerful enough to suppress Zhao Guoqiang.

But who is this person?

If Jiang Ruxue knew such an important person, how could Lin Fang still have gotten into trouble?

I don't understand it, but it's all in the past now.

My tense nerves instantly relaxed, my whole body ached, and I was just about to close my eyes and rest when I heard a news report on the car radio: "Mr. Han Zhentang, General Manager of Beijing Dashidai Group, donated 10 million yuan to the city's welfare home to support the happy growth of orphans..."

I was drawn to the ten million mentioned in the news, but when I opened my eyes, I saw Jiang Ruxue's expression change, and at the same time, she turned off the radio.

I didn't think much of it. Exhausted, my eyelids were so heavy that I slowly fell asleep...
