About ten minutes later, Du Weili drove over, followed by several police officers on bicycles.

The policeman parked his bicycle against the wall and came to Yang Niannian to question her.

"You asked your friend to report the case?"

Yang Niannian nodded, "Some time ago, a classmate of mine named Meng Ziyu eloped with an outsider and lost contact with his family. I just discovered that he was dating another girl. I suspect this man is a human trafficker."

When the police heard the name Meng Ziyu, they felt very familiar with it, “Which school are you from?”

Yang Niannian replied, "Beijing University."

As soon as these words were spoken, the police officer who was asking the questions and the other police officers immediately remembered and their expressions became more serious. After exchanging glances, several police officers knocked on the door.

The girl in the room was startled and ran out quickly. She leaned through the crack of the door and saw that it was the police. Only then did she let down her guard and opened the door.

The police briefly asked the girl for some basic information about the man, and learned from her that the man's name was Gu Feng, from Chongqing, 23 years old, and worked in the Housing Management Bureau.

Judging from their experience in handling cases, if Gu Feng is really a human trafficker, the information he provided must be untrue and he would definitely not be found in the Housing Authority.

"Do you know where he lives?"

The girl nodded and told the address.

Yang Niannian's eyebrows jumped when she heard this. It was really a coincidence. Gu Feng's residence was only a few alleys away from her courtyard.

After a brief communication among several police officers, they decided to act in two groups, leaving two people to wait here, and the others would go back to the Public Security Bureau to dispatch personnel to Gu Feng's residence.

Seeing that there was nothing else for Yang Niannian to do, she got into the car with Jiang Yang and directed the way to the Housing Authority.

When Du Weili was choosing a house, Yang Niannian suggested that Jiang Yang also buy one. Jiang Yang agreed without hesitation and chose a house near her.

Du Weili originally wanted to buy a house in a better location, but after seeing Jiang Yang choose a house near Nian Nian, he also chose one nearby.

He even found a high-sounding reason, "We are all together, so if anyone has any problems in the future, we can help each other, right? If you are in a foreign land, it is better to have a fellow villager around than to live alone, right?"

Jiang Yang said with a chuckle, "You can buy it anywhere you want, but don't come to my house every other day. I don't have time to entertain you."

Du Weili said shamelessly.

"If you find it troublesome to entertain me, you can bring your sister to my house. I don't mind the trouble. Then we can find a skilled nanny to take care of our three meals a day. I don't know how comfortable our life will be."

Jiang Yueyue protested, "I want to go to my sister's house for a free meal."

Du Weili said shamelessly.

"Okay, let's all go. Your sister has made a lot of money anyway, and having one more mouth to feed won't make her poor."

Yang Niannian's attention was completely focused on the house and she didn't pay attention to what they were talking about at all. After briefly looking at the house information, she set her eyes on two more courtyard houses.

There was no purchase restriction policy in that era, and there were no strict requirements for outsiders to buy a house, as long as they had money. Now she was not short of money, so she took the opportunity to buy two more houses without any pressure.

It’s just that housing prices are rising a bit too fast. Now the price of a courtyard house has risen to 8,000 yuan.

According to this trend, in two years, it is estimated that it will be impossible to buy it without tens of thousands of yuan.

Thinking of this, she immediately made up her mind to buy these two first, so that she would have four courtyard houses.

Before coming, Yang Niannian didn't bring her passbook and didn't have enough money, so she asked Jiang Yang.

"Do you have enough money in your bankbook? I've also got two courtyard houses that I'm interested in buying."

Du Weili felt that Yang Niannian was a house-buying maniac. She wanted to buy every house she saw. He didn't know if she was a homeless vagrant in her previous life.

Even though I knew that Yang Niannian had a habit of buying houses, I still couldn't help but ask.

"Why did you buy so many houses? If you don't rent out all these houses, you have to pay property taxes every month. Even if you have money, you can't be so willful, right?"

Before coming here, Yang Niannian clearly had no intention of buying a house, but when she got here, she just wanted to buy one. She didn't even discuss such a large expenditure with Lu Shishen. She was so arrogant.

Yang Niannian put her hands in the pockets of her down jacket and answered nonchalantly.

"Is it okay for me to be a landlady? Beijing is a prosperous city, and there is no problem in renting out houses."

Jiang Yang had no objection to Yang Niannian buying a house. When he heard that Yang Niannian wanted to borrow money, he immediately expressed his opinion.

"I brought my passbook with me, which is enough for you to buy two more sets if you want."

Yang Niannian blinked, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, "I'll buy two sets now. It's not easy for you to come to Beijing, so you can buy one more set!"

Jiang Yang barely hesitated and nodded immediately, "Okay."

Du Weili felt sour again, "I think you are all crazy. One of you dares to ask others to buy a house, and the other buys it as soon as you ask. Do you think it's as simple as buying two buns?"

Jiang Yang didn't care. "Nian Nian won't harm me. Buying a house with money is just a different way of saving it. What's the problem?"

Du Weili thought about it and felt that it made a lot of sense. He immediately said with a flattering face, "Okay, I'll buy another set too!"

This girl is very smart. There must be a reason why she bought so many houses. Just like Jiang Yang said, just think of it as a different way to save money.

In order to avoid falling into a trap, he bought his second house close to Jiang Yang's house.

So, the original plan was that only Du Weili would buy a house, but in the end it became three people buying six houses.

Since Yang Niannian didn't bring her ID with her, Du Weili drove them back to the courtyard. Xiao Nian had not returned from his tutoring job yet, so they had no choice but to climb over the wall to get in.

Jiang Yang and Du Weili dragged Yang Niannian along the wall and it took a lot of effort for them to climb into the yard.

When Xiao Hei heard the noise, he barked a few times. When he saw that it was his owner who came back, he ran to her feet, wagging his tail and humming.

Yang Niannian bent down and touched its furry head, then went to the corner of the kitchen to find the spare key and stuffed it through the crack in the door.

Jiang Yang took the key, opened the door, and led Jiang Yueyue into the yard. Jiang Yueyue was attracted by Xiao Hei and chased it around.

Du Weili looked at the layout of the courtyard and spoke nonchalantly.

"Your small courtyard looks pretty good. No wonder you want to buy one. With so many rooms rented out, you can live comfortably just by collecting rent when you are old."

You know, many salaried workers don’t make much money after working for a month.

Yang Niannian said proudly.

"That's what I was thinking, so I wanted to buy more houses while I had money."

Jiang Yang also felt that such a courtyard house was nice to live in, and since he didn't have many relatives in his hometown, he said so.

"If you and Brother Lu plan to settle down in Beijing, if our scrap yard can no longer operate, Yueyue and I will move to Beijing as well."

Du Weili had the expression of an old sister-in-law again, and said "tsk tsk tsk" and "Why are you acting like a baby who hasn't been weaned?"
