Dragon Raja: Oh no! Lu Mingfei has been diagnosed with depression!

"Okay, sir, but can you please not be so irritable? I have no doubt that if I upset you, you'll hit me on the head with a brick too."

Nono rubbed her forehead, feeling a bit of a headache. "Didn't your teacher teach you to call the police when you're in danger? Calling the police is the more reasonable thing to do in a situation like this, isn't it?"

"If calling the police would have helped, you wouldn't have driven me to such a remote place."

Lu Mingfei tossed the brick in his hand to test its feel:

"Actually, they wouldn't dare to make a move in crowded places. If you wanted to call the police, the best opportunity would have been when Su Xiaoqiang left, but you didn't. You even stopped her from taking me back... I guess you were afraid those people would follow me, right? Su Xiaoqiang's father is a mine owner. He's very rich and powerful. He has a group of strong workers under him. I believe those workers would be happy to do some hard labor for the boss for the money. If they all attacked together, they might be able to kill an elephant."

"If I get into Su Xiaoqiang's car, they will definitely launch a surprise attack on the road, which will affect her. Given her father's doting father nature, he can bring a lot of people over in a few minutes, but you feel deep down that a human wave tactic won't work against those foreigners. You are the one who can protect me, so you want to keep me by your side."

Nono was stunned. She deeply understood the sense of powerlessness Ye Sheng and Jiu Deya felt when facing Lu Mingfei during the day. She hadn't said anything yet, but Lu Mingfei had almost pieced together the truth based on just a few minor details.

Is this really the timid, spineless guy she saw in the file? Or can fighting with thugs really change someone so drastically? Are those thugs still around? She wants to fight them too.

This change was truly terrifying. Nono's profiling ability completely failed with Lu Mingfei; she simply couldn't understand this person's thought process.

"It's such a waste that you're not a detective. How much of it did you actually guess?"

Nono couldn't help but complain.

"Being a detective is out of the question. I have no interest in satisfying other people's curiosity and thirst for knowledge."

Lu Mingfei shook his head. "I've guessed a lot more. Do you want to hear more?"

"I'll listen to you."

"I don't know those foreigners, so they're hired by someone else to come to me. I've had conflicts with just a few people recently, but none of them have the courage or ability to hire a group of foreign assassins..."

"What about Zhao Menghua? You beat him up just the day before yesterday. He must be holding a grudge against you. I remember his family owns a company. Hiring a group of foreign assassins would be easy for his family."

Nono became interested, and her competitive spirit kicked in. She listened carefully to Lu Mingfei's story, trying to find loopholes in his sentences that she could use to refute him.

"He doesn't have the guts, nor the ability."

"Explain?"

"There's nothing to explain. Actually, you should know better than me that those guys aren't ordinary assassins. Excluding my own reasons, there's only one possibility left: they came after me because of you. You're the ones who exposed me."

Lu Mingfei looked directly into Nuonuo's eyes.

"Hey! Don't try to pin this on others! We're just an ordinary university. We're here to recruit students, not to silence anyone. You're making it sound like we're hiring someone to commit murder!"

Nuonuo shouted loudly, determined not to take the blame for what others had thrown at her.

"They only appeared after I contacted you, and you're not an ordinary university. Aren't you searching the world for Long Yao?"

"Damn! Ye Sheng and the others even told you this?"

"I didn't say, I was just guessing, but now you've told me."

"Are you bluffing me?"

Nuonuo narrowed her eyes. Lu Mingfei was far more difficult to deal with than she had imagined. In just a few minutes of conversation, she had revealed her biggest secret. She was already afraid to speak, because she didn't know how many traps Lu Mingfei's words were hiding.

"It's not a scam. Even if you hadn't told me, I would have found out sooner or later. You just brought the time forward."

Lu Mingfei jumped onto the roof of the Ferrari, then leaped up and scrambled onto the high walls on both sides of the alley, climbing up like a monkey.

"So, do dragons really exist in the world?"

"Would you believe me if I said no?"

Nono rolled her eyes. "What are you doing?"

"You hid here to prepare for a sneak attack. Those guys will find this place sooner or later, so you parked the car here because you also want to fight back."

Several electric lights stood in the alley. Lu Mingfei climbed over the wall and smashed the bulbs one by one, plunging the alley into darkness. He then threw a brick at Nuonuo.

"If you want to fight back, don't just stand there, smash your streetlights too."

"Is it possible that I just want to stop here and call for backup? You don't really think the two of us can take down that group of fitness champions with a sneak attack, do you?"

"You can't contact anyone. I just checked, there's no cell phone signal. Those guys are probably getting close to us. They're probably carrying something that can block signals. Right now, all we can rely on is ourselves... and the brick in our hand."

Lu Mingfei leaned over the wall, trying to make his body completely overlap with the shadow of the wall. "And it's not just the two of us, it's you. I haven't been trained, so even if we launch a sneak attack, I can only knock out one of them at most. The rest are up to you."

"I'm just a girl, maybe a pretty girl at most, but you let me seduce a bunch of burly men! Are you even a man?! Shouldn't you be standing up for me in a situation like this?"

Nuonuo was furious, wishing she could smash the brick in her hand on Lu Mingfei's head.

"To correct you, I'm not an adult yet, so I'm at most a boy, not a man."

Lu Mingfei said, "Moreover, I don't believe that the students in a school that can search for dragons all over the world haven't received training. You value me a lot, and if I die here, you'll probably hold me accountable. So if you don't want to suffer an undeserved disaster, you'd better put all your strength into it later."

"Damn it! I hate you bunch of self-proclaimed smart guys the most! You act all high and mighty, but in the end you still have to rely on other people's help!"

Nuonuo cursed loudly, but still nimbly climbed onto the wall. Her movements were far more elegant than Lu Mingfei's, clearly showing that she had received rigorous training.

The alleyway had fallen into darkness, with only the light from the distant streetlights providing a slight illumination of the road.

Lu Mingfei and Nuonuo hid on the walls on either side of the Ferrari, holding their breath. They could already hear the foreigners talking.
