Having not slept all night, she finally couldn't stay awake any longer and fell into a deep sleep.
I don't know how much time passed.
Someone is knocking on the door.
"Madam! Madam, are you home?"
Jiang Jingxue was woken up by the noise.
She put on her clothes, ran out, and opened the door.
Qin Liang is outside.
"Madam, the lieutenant colonel is back! He brought the spy back with him! He was afraid you'd worry, so he specifically sent me back to tell you!"
"real?"
Jiang Jingxue was also very excited to hear the news.
"How is he? Is he injured?"
"No, it's just a small injury on my shoulder, like I was hit by something, but it's nothing serious."
Hearing Qin Liang's words, Jiang Jingxue felt slightly embarrassed.
Could he be referring to the time a few days ago when she hit him with an ashtray?
"It's alright, it's alright."
"The lieutenant colonel is giving a report to the leaders and will be back soon, so I won't disturb him any longer."
Qin Liang brought this good news and then left in a hurry.
Jiang Jingxue finally breathed a sigh of relief.
It's good that Gu Pingwei is back safe and sound.
She no longer has to live in fear.
Jiang Jingxue got dressed, went out, and specially went to the market to buy a lot of vegetables and meat. When she came back, she made a sumptuous lunch to welcome Gu Pingwei back.
Around noon, Gu Pingwei returned.
Upon meeting her, he couldn't help but hug her tightly.
Looking at the dark circles under Jiang Jingxue's eyes.
Gu Pingwei joked.
"Madam, I didn't expect you to miss me so much after just one day apart."
She must not have slept well last night.
Jiang Jingxue couldn't help but punch his chest.
"How dare you say that? I was so worried about you last night when you didn't come home."
"I'm sorry. Yesterday was a special day."
Gu Pingwei kissed the corner of her lips.
"Thank you so much, Madam, for making so much food. I haven't eaten all day, I'm starving."
Jiang Jingxue handed him chopsticks and kept putting food into his bowl.
After lunch.
Gu Pingwei put his arm around Jiang Jingxue and headed back to their room to sleep.
He followed the spy all night yesterday without closing his eyes for a single moment.
"Gu Pingwei, isn't it inappropriate for us to lock the door in broad daylight?"
"What's wrong with that? I've already told Qin Liang and the others that no one is allowed to disturb us today."
Jiang Jingxue was also a little sleepy.
The two lay in bed, embracing each other as they slept.
Nestled in his arms, feeling his breath and heartbeat, I felt exceptionally at ease.
Jiang Jingxue had just fallen asleep in a daze.
Then they heard a knock on the door.
Gu Pingwei, who was woken up, was somewhat displeased.
He got up and went to open the door.
But standing at the door was Lin Baoguo.
"District Chief Lin, what brings you here?"
"Pingwei, congratulations on your promotion to lieutenant colonel. By the way, is Comrade Jiang home?"
Hearing Lin Baoguo's voice, Jiang Jingxue quickly got dressed and came out of the room.
"District Chief Lin, I'm at home. What brings you here today?"
"Here's the thing, a document came down from above saying that we need to develop the economy here, and a number of old houses need to be demolished. I found that most of the old houses in that area are registered under Comrade Jiang's name. Come over and talk about the demolition compensation."
Jiang Jingxue was extremely excited upon hearing the news.
It was worth it for her to invest so much money in those dilapidated houses.
The demolition has finally begun.
"Chief Lin, please come in."
Jiang Jingxue invited Lin Baoguo in, pouring him tea and washing fruit for him.
"Chief Lin, what kind of compensation policy does the higher-ups have?"
Lin Baoguo showed the compensation policy to Jiang Jingxue.
"According to the policy, the compensation for all the houses under your name will be about ten million."
Ten million!
Jiang Jingxue's eyes lit up when she heard the number.
In just a few months, her investment increased tenfold, and she really made a lot of money.
"Comrade Jiang, if you agree to the demolition, please sign this contract. The compensation will be deposited into your account within a week."
"Agreed! I agree!"
Jiang Jingxue nodded hurriedly and quickly signed the contract.
Lin Baoguo put the contract away.
"I have other tasks to do, so I won't bother you any longer."
After Lin Baoguo left.
Jiang Jingxue was so excited she almost jumped up.
"Gu Pingwei, did you see that? We're rich!"
"Madam has a discerning eye; she's truly remarkable!"
Gu Pingwei kept praising Jiang Jingxue.
Last time, when she borrowed money to buy those dilapidated houses, he felt that she knew things that others didn't.
Qin Liang was specifically asked to investigate for a long time, but no abnormalities were found.
Could it be that her investment appreciated just as a coincidence?
"Sister Jingxue!"
Just then.
Yue Keqi rushed over.
She looked delighted.
“Sister Jingxue, the people from the demolition office just came to see me. They said that the old houses I bought have been included in the economic development zone, and they also said they would give me demolition compensation!”
“I only spent a little over a thousand yuan to buy those houses, and when they were demolished, they gave me more than ten thousand yuan in compensation! That’s more than ten thousand yuan, I’ve never earned so much money in my life!”
"Jingxue, you're amazing! How did you know those old houses would appreciate in value? If I had known, I would have had my dad buy a house too. Making money while lying down is so great!"
Yue Keqi was excitedly planning how to spend the money, and she insisted on treating Jiang Jingxue to dinner.
"Sister Jingxue, how much compensation did you receive in total for the demolition of your house?"
