This autumn, Chen Hong was busy with harvesting and planting, and also took the time to go to the Yellow River several times. She was busy like a spinning top every day and didn't have a moment to rest!

During this time, Zhou Yi called her on a Sunday to explain why he had broken his promise. They were undergoing intensive training in a completely isolated location.

Unless it's something important, contact with the outside world is forbidden. Even Zhou Yi needed military approval to make this call for wiretapping purposes.

They didn't say anything on the phone, just briefly informed each other that they were both safe and sound, and then hung up.

Chen Hong stared blankly at her phone. This was the perfect partner she had chosen. They would occasionally send a faint signal to let her know they were safe and then that was it!

After putting down her phone, Chen Hong couldn't quite describe how she felt. When she thought of him, he was far away; when she thought of him, he was in her heart, but he was never by her side!

She was suited to keep her secrets, but she seemed more like a family member than a lover.

Fine! Meeting is fate, it's God's arrangement for us. There's no other way but to accept it. Who told her to be so attracted to his figure and looks!

She's made the choice, so she has to accept it! Chen Hong is getting a good deal and then acting innocent!

Putting the Book of Changes out of her mind, Chen Hong contacted Fang Yitong and Director Guan again.

Some time ago, they visited several properties in Shenzhen through a friend's introduction.

After conducting on-site investigations over this period, they confirmed that there were no traps and prepared to proceed together.

In their words, although Shenzhen's housing prices are higher than Beijing's, the potential for appreciation is huge, making it a very viable investment.

The two kept their word and immediately called Chen Hong to invite her to join them in buying a house together.

They continued with their old methods, taking out mortgage loans. They would buy one property, mortgage it, and then buy another and mortgage it again.

Both families bought two more apartments in Shenzhen, each over 130 square meters in a low-rise building.
