Chapter 121: Decoding the Coordinates (Three-in-One)
As night fell, Qi Yun and Liu Meng smoothly boarded the return flight without any more mishaps.
Two hours later, the plane landed, and they each went home.
The trip to Kashi was a bit bumpy, but fortunately, it was thrilling but not dangerous, and they successfully obtained a one million reward.
Qi Yun's bank account once again surpassed two million.
At home, Zhao Qing heard that Qi Yun would be back tonight and initially wanted to pick him up at the airport, but Qi Yun didn't want her to bother, so she prepared a lavish dinner at home.
Upon hearing the sound of the door opening, she quickly ran over to open it.
As the door opened, she saw the travel-worn Qi Yun, a radiant smile instantly bloomed on her face as she dove into his arms, whispering, "You're finally back."
Qi Yun wrapped his arms around her, taking a deep breath of her familiar scent, feeling his fatigue lessen slightly, and said with a smile, "I was only gone for a day, did you miss me that much?"
Zhao Qing lightly punched him and broke free from his embrace: "Who missed you? Go eat your dinner."
Qi Yun, amused by her contradictory behavior, followed her to the dining table and sat down.
The table was laden with steaming hot dishes, all emitting a mouth-watering aroma and were his favorites.
Sitting across from him, Zhao Qing watched him devour the food with a gaze full of tenderness: "Slow down, there's no one to compete with. You surely didn't eat well these days, you look so much thinner."
Qi Yun chuckled: "No exaggeration, but home is definitely where comfort is."
Zhao Qing rested her chin on her hands, casually asked: "Did everything go smoothly?"
Qi Yun nodded after pondering: "Yeah, quite smooth, earned a million this time."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Qing's eyes widened in disbelief: "A million!?"
"Mm, you don't believe me?" Qi Yun looked at her with a smile.
Zhao Qing shook her head: "No, but then you have to take me out for hotpot tomorrow!"
"No problem! Is there anything else you wish for? Tell me, I'll fulfill them all!" Qi Yun waved his hand generously.
Zhao Qing tilted her head like a little girl, counting on her fingers: "Hmm... I want to buy a new dress. I saw one last time while shopping but didn't buy it because it was too expensive.
Also, Nuannuan saw someone with a big plush toy today, and I could tell she wanted it very much..."
Qi Yun listened to her ramble on for two minutes, then stood up, took out his wallet from his jacket, and handed Zhao Qing a bank card.
This card had over six hundred thousand.
"Take it and spend as you like! If it's not enough, ask me for more. The password is the last six digits of Nuannuan's birthday."
Zhao Qing stared at the bank card in her hand, stunned, her eyes full of surprise. She had never experienced such a feeling.
She opened her mouth to say something but was at a loss for words.
After a long while, she finally looked at Qi Yun and asked: "If I start spending your money, will you stop valuing me?"
Qi Yun paused, then raised his hand, gently stroking her cheek, speaking softly: "How could that be? I earn money for you to spend. Your place in my heart cannot be replaced by anything, so stop overthinking."
Hearing this, Zhao Qing's eyes reddened slightly, but her face showed a reassuring smile. She lightly leaned on Qi Yun's shoulder, saying: "With you saying that, I'm at ease. Sometimes I just feel insecure, fearing that all this is just a dream."
Qi Yun held her tightly, his chin brushing against her hair: "Don't overthink, our good days are just beginning. I will make sure you and Nuannuan have a better life."
Zhao Qing nodded: "Alright, finish up and go take a shower!"
The next day, sunlight streamed into the room through the window.
Lin Yao called early in the morning, waking up Qi Yun.
"Hello, Qi Yun, today's Haoyuan stock shows a declining trend. I've already sold all of it for you."
Qi Yun rubbed his sleepy eyes, waking up a bit more upon hearing Lin Yao's words.
"Got it, thank you, Lin Yao."
"No need to thank me, just contact me directly if you have any needs in the future."
"Mm, okay."
"Bye."
After hanging up the phone, Qi Yun checked his phone, finding 2.98 million in his stock account.
After subtracting the principal of 1.63 million, he had earned 1.35 million during this period.
After giving Zhao Qing 620,000 yesterday, there was still 1.53 million in another account. Adding this 2.98 million, his total savings had reached 4.51 million!
Qi Yun got out of bed, walked to the balcony, lit a cigarette, and took a deep drag.
"Awesome~"
[Today's Intelligence 1 (Red): The Spanish historical expert, Ignacio, is currently sightseeing with his family in Bird City, staying at room 401 of the Quanji Hotel on Nanjing Road]
"Spanish historical expert?"
Qi Yun paused, instantly recalling the coordinate information he found in that pocket watch last time, but unfortunately, those coordinates seemed to be encrypted.
"Can this Ignacio solve it?"
[Today's Intelligence 2 (Red): Old Xu has been driven into a corner by debt collectors, eagerly trying to sell the iron mine's mining rights. His psychological price is 4.5 million, but a few 'good buddies' who know his situation are only willing to offer 3.5 million]
"I came across intelligence about Old Xu selling the mine before; I didn't expect it hasn't been sold yet after all this time."
Qi Yun pondered inwardly. Now that he had some cash on hand, should he consider trying to buy that mine?
He had heard from Old Xu before that the iron mine had a fairly abundant ore reserve, with the potential for another six or seven years of mining.
Calculating a net profit of 150,000 per month, that's 1.8 million a year; if he offered 3.6 million, ideally, he could recoup his investment in just two years.
