at exactly does your organization do"“We belong to the American CIA…” Code-name 113 rattled off a long string of secrets in one breath. After hearing this, Xia Tian was rather dumbfounded; it seemed l...Chapter 1035: Courier Service

These two police officers finally understood why this suspect had cooperated so well; it turned out the guy was planning to hijack their patrol car. However, now that both guns were in his hands and he had managed to take them away with such lightning speed—clearly a master—the situation left no other choice but for them to follow his orders.

The officer who was supposed to drive finally started the vehicle, while the other one sitting next to Xia Tian tried to remain calm and asked, "Don't act rashly. Where do you intend to go in the Xiangxue Lake Villa District"

"Hey, who's acting rashly now" Xia Tian glared at this officer. "I live there, I just want to go home, can't I Can’t it be that I got lost"

The two officers felt utterly confused and had initially assumed the guy was an extreme anti-wealth activist planning on vandalizing the Xiangxue Lake Villa District. But now he claimed he lived there, did this mean he was a wealthy individual

That didn’t make sense either; why would a wealthy person take public transportation and then smash the bus before trying to hijack their patrol car Why not just hail a taxi if he wanted to go home

"Hey, drive faster! Once we get there, I'll let you guys go!" Xia Tian urged the officer driving at the front again. "Hurry up, my wife is waiting for me at home!"

Hearing the urging from Summer, the cop had no choice but to sound his siren and proceeded smoothly ahead.

The other cop muttered that this guy must be a kept man by some rich woman!

In Xiangxue Lake Villa District, in Xia Jie’s temporary abode with Summer, Xia Jie was chatting idly with Gan Min.

At first, Xia Jie just wanted to entertain Gan Min, but after they chatted for a while, they found that they had much in common and were getting along well. Whether it was discussing relationships or women’s interests like fashion and cosmetics, the two of them talked enthusiastically, even feeling as if they should have met earlier.

Actually, it wasn’t strange that the two of them shared many topics to discuss; although Ren Xiaofeng was already in his forties, Gan Min was only twenty-six years old and just a few years older than Xia Jie. More importantly, despite now being a wealthy woman, Gan Min’s origins were actually quite ordinary, which was rather similar to Xia Jie.

Ren Xiaofeng and Gan Min's relationship had quite an interesting backstory; their acquaintance actually originated from Gan Min's public cursing of Ren Xiaofeng back then.

Ren Xiaofeng was originally a military man who started doing business after his discharge. After accumulating some capital, he focused on real estate development. With the thriving property market over the years, Ren Xiaofeng had become one of Hongguang City's top ten tycoons. A few years ago, when Hongguang City’s housing prices skyrocketed, Ren Xiaofeng was among the leading contributors to this rise as he was then the largest real estate developer in the city.

At that time, Gan Min had just graduated from university and was young and somewhat impulsive, full of a sense of justice. She noticed that many white-collar workers in Wanggang City were struggling under the pressure of housing prices. What made her even more depressed was that one of her student couple friends broke up due to housing issues, with the female partner following another man who could afford a house. So, on one day, Gan Min posted a long article online, directly criticizing Ren Xiaofeng by name, saying that Ren Xiaofeng only cared about making money and didn't care about others' well-being, breaking up couples, harming the people, in short, she ranted until she was exhausted!

At the time, this incident caused quite a stir, but the result surprised everyone. In the end, Gan Min actually met Ren Xiaofeng because of that post and eventually became his wife!

It was said that when Ren Xiaofeng and Gan Min got married, many people were cursing her out of jealousy.

"Xiaofeng did indeed only focus on making money in those years, but later he really listened to me and led the effort to lower housing prices. At that time, he also received a lot of praise from netizens, but trouble隨之而來。”甘敏歎了口氣，“因為很多炒房的人無法接受降價，都來找他鬨事。另外，其他房地產商也覺得曉峰破壞了市場秩序，對他很不滿，那時候曉峰連威脅簡訊都收到了不少。”

“那後來呢？你們是怎麼做的？”寧靜有些好奇。

“後來我們就不敢降價了，在我們剛開始降價的時候，望港市確實有幾個月的房價下跌。但隨後房價又回升了，冇辦法，我和曉峰隻能這麼做，不是不想降價，而是不能降價。”甘敏顯得頗為無奈，“寧靜，我跟你說，以前我也喜歡跟著網上那些人起鬨，但從那以後我就不再做這種事了，因為我發現一件事，或許我們的降價得到了很多人支援，但這些支援都是虛無縹緲的。他們會在網上稱讚曉峰，但在現實中，那些人對曉峰的攻擊卻是實實在在的，而網上的那些人不會來現實裡支援我們。”

“這也正常，網絡上說什麼都很容易，敲敲鍵盤就行，真要行動起來就是另一回事了。”寧靜點點頭，她對此並不覺得意外。

"During that period, we offended quite a few people; there were even rumors of us being forced out of Wanggang. Fortunately, Xiao Feng has some military background and an old superior officer who used to like him helped him once. So the people here in Wanggang didn't dare push too hard against him. And since we gave up quickly on that matter, nobody came looking for trouble again," Gan Min revealed a bitter smile. "However, after that incident, Xiao Feng stopped developing regular housing estates and focused solely on high-end villas. In this way, he only makes money from the rich, which made us feel better psychologically. As for ordinary housing prices, we neither want to nor can do anything about them."

After a pause, Gan Min added: "Actually, Xiao Feng told me that developing villas is more profitable."

"I used to worry about buying a house too," Ning Jie smiled. "Before I graduated, I was wondering how I could afford a house in the future"

"Ning Jie, you're so pretty; surely you'll marry a good man. Like now, aren't you with Dr. Song His medical skills make it very easy to earn money," Gan Min's words were true, but she didn't know that Ning Jie used to be nowhere near as beautiful and could even be considered unattractive.

Ning Jie smiled oddly; she knew she looked good now and her figure had improved compared to before. But she also knew that before she met Xia Tian, not only was she a disabled person with short legs, but she was also extremely nearsighted, forcing her to wear ugly glasses every day, thereby becoming公認的醜女 in others' eyes.

Nevertheless, Ning Jie didn't tell Gan Min about these matters. Although they got along well, she preferred not to share this part of her past with her.

At that moment, the doorbell rang again and Ning Jie's heart leaped with joy; it must be Xia Tian who was back now

However, Ning Jie learned from her previous experience and first got up to check the video screen at the door. When she did, she felt disappointed again because there was a strange man standing at the door instead of Xia Tian.

"Who are you looking for" asked Ning Jie.

The stranger's voice came through: "Is this address Xiangxue Lake One, Building 18"

Ning Jie replied suspiciously: "Yes, what do you want"

"Do you have a Mr. Song here" the man asked again: "I'm from Tiantian Express Company and I have a delivery for him."

"A delivery" Ning Jie was puzzled: "Where did it come from"

The stranger said, "Sorry, could you please sign for it"

"Alright, hold on for a moment." Ning Jie turned off the communication system and prepared to leave.

At this moment, Gan Min hurriedly called out to her: "Ning Jie, is it the courier who has arrived"

"Yes, it's strange. We've only been here for a few days, and not many people know we're here; how could there be any packages" Ning Jie was somewhat puzzled, "Never mind, I'll go see what's going on."

The reason she decided to check it out was partly because Ning Jie wasn't afraid of any robbers or the like, but mainly because Xia Jia had yet to return. She suspected that Xia Jia might have sent something back, although it seemed a bit fast, same-day delivery within the city wasn't impossible.

"No!" Gan Min quickly said: "Ning Jie, there's something wrong with this courier. I want to tell you, any packages or parcels delivered to Fragrant Snow Lake Villa District are first received by the security personnel and won’t be directly sent to our doorstep."

"Is that so" Ning Jie was slightly surprised; she had just moved in and didn't know about this procedure.

"Yes, absolutely. Actually, I proposed it myself. You know, what today's wealthy people care most about is security, which is why I suggested to Xiao Feng back then to strengthen the security measures. Having the security personnel receive parcels actually serves safety purposes." Gan Min quickly explained: "On one hand, it prevents criminals posing as couriers from entering, and on the other hand, it guards against parcel bombs or similar threats. Therefore, any packages would be first received by the security staff who will then use equipment to check them before handing them over to the residents. Unless a resident has notified in advance, there's no way they can skip this process without inspection. That’s why I say this courier might have issues!"se, how would you know where he is I despise people like you the most. In the past, when your son had a disability, you abandoned him, but now that his legs are healed by me, you want to take him back...
