Chapter 488 

When did you move?Karter looked at the luxurious villa in front of her with a puzzled expression

It’s been a long time, almost half a year,Jessica said as she recalled

*Half a year? Jessi, when did you become so rich? You can even afford to rent such a house?Karter looked envious

Even he could not afford to live in such a luxurious house now

It’s not that. It’s because the house I used to live in is going to be demolished. This is a new house that the government is subsidizing to the landlord

Since I signed a contract with the landlord previously, he allows me to stay here at the original price

I don’t know if it’s because the rent around is too high, but I’m the only tenant in the past six months,” Jessica explained

Government subsidy? That’s impossible. In our country, if a house needs to be demolished, the government will build a new house on the original base

The size and area will basically be the same as the old one. It’s impossible for the landlord to get so much compensation.” Karter said with a puzzled expression

Are you serious?Jessica asked, stunned

Of course I’m serious. The house I’m living in now is my grandfather’s old house from before

Later on, because the house was old, it was directly demolished. The government only gave us a small portion of the funds. We paid the most for the building of the new house,Karter explained

Jessica knew that Karter would never lie to her

Then what was going on with the house she was living in now

The landlord had clearly told her that this was a subsidy from the government

But of course, there will be exceptions. For example, if your previous piece is part of the development area planned by the government, the government will give more subsidies,” Karter explained

When Jessica heard this, the doubts in her heart were dispelled a little

I guess so, Jessica replied

Then, she opened the door and got out of the car. Then I’ll go back first. Be careful on the way.” 

Okay,” Karter replied

Jessica stood by the roadside and waited for Karter’s car to leave

Only then did she turn around and walk toward the house opposite

After Jessica returned to her room, Karter’s words kept echoing in her mind

Then, she immediately turned on her computer and searched for the old house she used to live in

So far, the house was still standing on the street

Although Jessica had paid attention to this before, she thought that it might take some time to process something like demolition

Therefore, she did not delve into it

However, a slight feeling of suspicion crept over her after she heard Carter’s words

Then, she searched for a large amount of information

According to the information, that area was not classified as a development zone

So, had the landlord lied to her

Jessica took another look at the room in front of her that was completely in line with her favorite style

The more she thought about it, the more suspicious she felt

However, it had been very late recently. Jessica drank a little more wine and did not look for the landlord again

She only wanted to sleep first

The next morning

Jessica woke up very early

Then, she went to the address the landlord had given her

1/3 

1040 

Chapter 488 

After Jessica confirmed that the address was correct, she raised her hand and knocked on the door

However, just as her hand touched the door, it opened by itself

A trace of doubt appeared on Jessica’s face

She shouted a few times at the door

But there was no response from inside

Jessica then walked in in confusion

The room was especially dark with the curtains tightly closed

Jessica immediately fumbled for the switch

The moment she turned on the lights, Jessica saw something that shocked her

Her landlord was now sprawled on the floor

Jessica immediately sprinted forward and touched his neck. Fortunately, he was still breathing

Jessica then called an ambulance.. 

In the hospital

Jessica had been sitting beside the landlord’s bed

It was not until the next morning that the landlord slowly woke up

When he saw Jessica beside him, a hint of surprise flashed across his eyes

Jessi, did you save me?” 

I had something that I wanted to ask you. However, I saw that your door wasn’t closed. When I pushed the door open. I found you lying on the ground,explained Jessica

Thank you. You saved my life.The landlord looked grateful.. 

You’re welcome. I’ve been under your care all this while. This is the least I can do

“Well, you can’t drink so much anymore. The doctor said that you fainted because of alcohol. This is very dangerous. If no one finds out, your life might be in danger,Jessica said slowly

I know, but I can’t do without alcohol. At my age, death isn’t such a terrible thing

But we haven’t contacted each other for more than half a year. What is it you want to see me about?the landlord asked

More than half a year? Didn’t we just contact each other not long ago? By phone.” Jessica was stunned when she heard this

Really? Why don’t I remember?The landlord subconsciously replied

Then, he suddenly thought of something and said with a look of realization

Ah, I guess I forgot because I’m not sobered yet. We did contact each other

My head is still a little dizzy. I’ll sleep for a while, the landlord said as he turned around, his back facing Jessica

Looking at the landlord, Jessica’s doubts deepened

She felt that something was amiss

Mr. Landlord, can you tell me the truth on account that I saved your life this time?Jessica knew that the landlord must know something

Oh, why does my head still hurt so much? I can’t take it anymore, I can’t take it anymore. I feel like my head is spinning and I can’t remember anything,” the landlord said exaggeratedly

Actually, even if you didn’t say it, I would have guessed it. Your old house hasn’t been demolished yet. And even if it was demolished, the government wouldn’t give you excessive compensation. So why did you lie to me?Jessica enunciated each word clearly

The landlord’s body stiffened at her words

“Of course, you have the right to remain silent, but I will also take my own way, including prosecuting you and a series of actions to restore the truthWhen Jessica said this, her tone was firm and powerful

It didn’t seem like she was talking to him

Afraid that he was about to be sued, the landlord couldn’t pretend anymore

He propped himself up and sat up on the bed

He looked at Jessica with a burning gaze

This has nothing to do with me. I’m just doing what I’m paid to do

You can’t sue me even if you want to!”
