I am a dragon

Sister Hong came up to me again, her gaze scrutinizing me.

"We've acquired your shop. A million shouldn't be a problem. I only have one condition: you must stay."

"Huh? An acquisition?"

"That's right."

Sister Hong's tone was unquestionable, and her attitude was extremely firm.

I asked, puzzled, "Why do you want to acquire Jiuzhuotang?"

Sister Hong said dismissively, "Because you own 40 percent of the shares in Jiuzhuotang."

I gave Sister Hong a long look and realized that she had come for me.

But why would she do that? We haven't even met. Surely she wouldn't be swayed by my looks?

I'm not that narcissistic.

"As you said yourself, I only own 40% of the shares."

"That's enough. Otherwise, we wouldn't have acquired this store."

Looking out the window, Sister Hong said, "After we acquire it, you will be the person in charge of Jiuzhuotang, and your shareholding will still be 40%."

Furthermore, we will take over the adjacent shops to expand our business and build our brand.

Of course, you don't need to worry about these things. I'll arrange an assistant, and you just need to focus on your work.

To be honest, Sister Hong's offer was very tempting, but I didn't want to work with her.

"I'm sorry, I'm content with a modest life and the status quo..."

Sister Hong glanced at me in surprise, and Zhou Mingyuan said angrily, "Lu Feng, are you out of your mind? Sister Hong came to talk to you about the acquisition in person, and this is your attitude? I think you're asking for trouble."

Sister Hong continued, "We don't like being rejected. You can think about it some more."

"us……"

Just as Shi Hui was about to speak, the door opened again.

A strong, muscular man walked in leading a Tibetan mastiff.

Whether it's a man or a Tibetan mastiff, they both give off an invisible sense of oppression.

When I saw him, my pupils contracted.

Ah Gou!

Qiao Liuye's men are also Zhou Mingyuan's friends.

He was the one who kidnapped me last time and even had his Tibetan mastiff bite me.

When Ah Gou came in, everyone's eyes were on him.

Zhou Mingyuan greeted him with a happy expression: "Brother Gou, what brings you here?"

Ah Gou wasn't good with words. He nodded slightly and walked up to me as if no one else was around.

The Tibetan mastiff exuded a fierce aura, and everyone present subconsciously took two steps back.

"Lu Feng".

"Um."

"Sixth Master asked me to pass this on to him. You're one of his people, and he wants to support you and expand your shop..."

I stared at Ah Gou in astonishment; his words were almost identical to Sister Hong's.

What happened?

Why are Qiao Laoliu and Hong Jie suddenly going to invest in my massage parlor?

"Brother Gou, I've already talked to Lu Feng, so Sixth Master doesn't need to invest, right?"

Sister Hong's expression was aloof.

Ah Gou glanced at Sister Hong and said coldly, "If Sixth Master says I have to invest, then I have to invest."

"But my boss wants to acquire Jiuzhuotang, and Sixth Master is welcome to invest then."

Ah Gou turned his head, stared into Sister Hong's eyes, and said, "You want to go against Sixth Master?"

Sister Hong gasped.

Qiao Laoliu and her boss are equally powerful, but she absolutely cannot afford to offend Qiao Laoliu.

Their eyes met, and Sister Hong said, "Brother Gou is joking. How could I dare to go against Sixth Master?"

"Then please leave, Sister Hong. I need to discuss investment matters with Lu Feng."

Ah Gou's eyes held a detached indifference that transcended life and death; that gaze alone could scare away countless people.

Sister Hong said, "If you talk to Lu Feng, I won't be able to explain it when I get back."

"Then I also have no way to explain it."

When the strong clash with the strong, I break out in a cold sweat.

I'm not afraid of them fighting, but I'm afraid they'll start tearing down Jiuzhuotang.

The two groups of underlings were clearly divided, staring at each other with wide eyes.

Nobody knows whether they'll fight or not; they can only kill with their eyes.

After an unknown amount of time, Ah Gou said, "Why don't we ask Lu Feng what he thinks?"

As a result, dozens of eyes were all focused on my face.

The pressure came on like a tidal wave.

At this point, I certainly couldn't say that Shi Hui, who owned 60% of the shares, was the boss.

These people are obviously after me, and I can't put Shi Hui in the spotlight.

To be honest, I don't want to cooperate with either Qiao Laoliu or Maple Leaf Forest.

Associating with these江湖人 (jianghu people) will eventually lead to you being taken advantage of.

"this……"

I hesitated, my mind racing with thoughts.

Ah Gou suddenly said, "I think Lu Feng won't be in a difficult position if he sees these two people."

Who is it?

I looked suspiciously in the direction Ah Gou pointed, and then I saw Ah Gou's two henchmen escorting two people in.

Upon seeing these two people, my expression immediately changed, and Shi Hui's face was filled with grief and indignation, her whole body trembling.

They were Gao Huan and Biandan from the urban village, the same bastards who set me up and raped Shi Hui.

Tao Xiaotao helped Shi Hui sit on a stool, and Shi Hui's eyes reddened.

Ah Gou looked at Sister Hong and asked, "Sister Hong, do you know these two people?"

Hongjie's lips twitched, but she didn't say anything.

Ah Gou continued, "These two used to be my underlings, but lately they've been collecting debts for Batong Financial. Sister Hong must know that, right?"

It's an open secret in the industry that Batong Financial and Maple Leaf Forest are both owned by the same person.

Sister Hong sneered, "Ah Gou, you're no good as the boss. Your underlings are starving and have to go out and find work. Tsk tsk, you need to really reflect on yourself."

Ah Gou remained unfazed and said, "Human greed is like a snake trying to swallow an elephant. They're not really my underlings; they just follow me around to make a living. It's not a big deal that they went to collect debts, but they actually did something as despicable as pigs and dogs, so I have to enforce the family rules."

Upon hearing about family discipline, Gao Huan and Bian Dan immediately knelt down and kowtowed repeatedly to A Gou. It was a real kowtow; their foreheads turned bruised after only a few kowtows.

"Brother Dog, we were wrong, we were wrong."

Ah Gou kicked them both over and said to me, "This is Sixth Master's sincerity."

I've been searching the whole world for those two bastards these past few days, but I never expected to be brought here by Ah Gou.

Seeing them made my eyes bloodshot, and I wanted to beat them to death right then and there.

Tao Xiaotao pulled me from behind.

Ah Gou then asked Sister Hong, "Was it Batong Financial that instigated them to do such a beastly thing?"

"Of course not. We just hire them to collect debts. What they do is their own business."

Sister Hong shifted the blame onto them, making all the loose ends.

But there was no need for her to stay any longer.

"Lu Feng, I'll give you a day to think it over." Sister Hong, in her high heels, led her group of underlings away.

Glancing at Sister Hong's departing figure, Ah Gou revealed a disdainful expression, lit a cigarette, and said, "Lu Feng, I've brought the person to you. Do with him as you see fit."

I almost ground my teeth to powder, my chest heaving with rage.

However, I quickly calmed down, took out my phone, and dialed a number.

"Hello, is this Officer Meng? There are two rapists here..."
