Chapter 50: Prepare to Attack



Lin Ximan will have to keep an eye on this for a while, at least she will be here when the underground construction is done. The technology of burying pipes and cables is not available to people of this era, and she will feel uneasy if she doesn't keep an eye on it. The work on the ground is much easier, they are familiar with it.

Although the complete blueprint of the house has been prepared, she does not plan to start it now. It is only 1977 and it is not convenient to start large-scale construction. Even repairing the house is a major project. Fortunately, many people have been rehabilitated now, and those who do not want to sell their houses will have to demolish them and rebuild them if they want to live in them. Therefore, it is okay for her to just repair the house, but it would be bad if she did too much digging.

It would still be in time to deal with the land on both sides after two years. According to the drawings, even if an underground parking lot is built in the future, the existing house will not be moved, and only construction will be carried out on both sides. In this way, she can feel more at ease to only build this courtyard house now.

After waiting for more than a month, the underground pipelines of the entire house were finally repaired. She checked them with equipment and only paid the construction team and left after confirming that there were no problems.

What remained was the repairs on the ground, but she was not worried about this, as they were all veterans in this area and the techniques were passed down from their ancestors. She just told the carving master to make the pattern look good and to use all his skills. There would be rewards for good work.

Kyoto was basically the same, so she had to go south to Haishi. This time when she arrived in Haishi, she found that the black market here seemed to be more active than Kyoto. It seemed that it was not unreasonable to say in the previous life that the southeast coast would get rich first.

The number and variety of black market orders in Haishi are greater than those in Kyoto, and many of them are things that have never been sold before. After all, this is an international city, and people's consumption concepts are much higher than those in the north.

The most important thing is that the people here are richer than those in most cities in the north, and the products produced by the factories here are also high-end goods.

For example, watches, bicycles, and televisions are all produced in Haishi’s factories, so these things cannot be sold at a high price in Haishi.

In other words, the watch in Lin Ximan's hand looks so good that people think it is a foreign product, and the price it sells for is actually a little higher than that in northern cities.

After she finished selling the goods, she began to ask the locals for people who could be used. She could find people everywhere, just to see if they could be used by her. There were not many old houses in Haishi, so once there was news of a sale, she would always know about it.

The same thing happened in Suzhou City. We also found a gossipmonger and asked him to keep an eye out for when there would be gardens for sale.

People from Haishi and Gusu City have inquired about the house, so she feels relieved. Sometimes, whether you can buy a house depends on luck.

The address reserved for the two of them was a mansion in Kyoto. The college entrance examination would be resumed soon, and she would live in Kyoto in the future, so it would be better for her to stay there.

After this trip, it has been more than three months since she came out. She still has to go back. Otherwise, as the saying goes, men will only affect the speed at which she makes money.

If she didn't go back, who knows what the military captain would suspect, so she had to show up.

By the time she arrived in Longcheng, it was already July. She was cleaning the house at home while thinking about when to show up at Rong Brigade and then find a reason to leave Longcheng.

She didn't have much time left. She had to fill in the gaps she had paved before going to school. After the economic system changed, the GW Club would also be cancelled. How could she let those villains live comfortably in the future? That was impossible!

She said that keeping a low profile was the right thing to do, especially at this time. After she left Longcheng and went to school, she would no longer have time to go to the black market, and things would be much better then.

Alas! She sighed while wiping the window glass. Since she couldn't get away for the time being, she would use this time to study more. Although she had never given up studying, it would be good to learn more!

For example, she could use her abnormal memory to learn the languages of several countries. China has several dialects, such as Cantonese, Haishi dialect, and the Suzhou dialect that was often spoken in the previous life. It just so happened that her original ancestral home was strictly speaking Haishi, so it would be good to learn it.

"Knock, knock, knock." Someone knocked on the door. Lin Ximan was still wondering who it was who knew so accurately that she would be going home today.

Then he walked carefully to the door and asked, "Who is it?"

"I am Rong Jingchen."

When she heard Rong Jingchen's voice, she didn't feel better, but was thinking about her recent behavior in her heart.

Did she reveal something? Why did the Rong Brigade target her? But no matter what she thought, she had to open the door.

Seeing Rong Jingchen in casual clothes standing at the door, looking at her gently, Lin Ximan had to invite him in even if she was reluctant.

It was a hot summer day and Lin Ximan had no intention of basking in the sun in the yard, so she went into the house, poured Rong Jingchen a glass of boiled water and then asked him.

"How did Captain Rong know that I would come back today? You are well-informed!" Although her tone was a bit sarcastic, she was just in a bad mood because of him, otherwise she would have gone to the south to sell goods. It has been two years, even if they were to investigate the source of food again, they should let it go now, right?

"I come here every day and have never stopped for several months."

"Captain Rong, is there anything I can do for you? Is there anything else you need me to cooperate with?" What's wrong with Rong Jingchen? Why does he come to her house every day?

"I told you before you left that what happened in my office that day... ahem, I want to have a good talk with you." Rong Jingchen was halfway through his sentence when he embarrassedly clenched his fist and put it to his mouth to pretend to cough.

During the time he was dealing with Minister Liao, he discovered that Minister Liao didn't know that it was him who went to steal the intelligence that day. It seemed that Lin Ximan was not one of them.

He had investigated carefully in the past few months and found that there was no problem with her identity. In other words, there was no problem with Lin Hongmei, but what about her? Was she really Lin Hongmei?

But from the investigation of neighbors and school teachers, we learned that this person is Lin Hongmei, and she looks like she is wearing makeup. This is understandable, but how can a girl with no experience have such good makeup skills and such good skills? Moreover, she went to Kyoto twice, and each time she was away for such a long time, what was she doing? Is it related to these secrets of hers?

All these made Rong Jingchen curious, but this did not stop him from liking her, because the investigation results showed that there was indeed no problem. As long as there was no problem with her identity, everything else would be easy.

After ruling out the possibility of her being a spy, he began to think about how to lure the girl into his own home.

That's why he came to my house again today and brought up the ambiguous incident that happened in the office that day.
