Traveling through the Republic of China, I married a dead person

Chapter 267 The truth comes out

There's no use regretting at this time.

If the sample that Su Bai gave to Luo Pinzhang had not used Analgin instead of Penicillin, a pharmaceutical factory would probably have been built with the strong support of the National Government.

But can this be entirely blamed on Su Bai?

Now I think about it, I was a little too cautious at the time. Even if the penicillin sample was obtained by the Japanese, so what? I went to great lengths to keep this secret, but in the end, didn't the Japanese still get it?

The man who escaped during the night raid on the pharmaceutical factory had already handed over a handful of samples to the Japanese.

Wan Qili comforted Su Bai with some self-blame, saying that she did nothing wrong and it was her fault that she had not explained the matter clearly to Su Bai in advance.

In fact, she had no choice but to do so. It was Luo Pinzhang who forbade her to tell Su Bai. It was not an instruction, but a discipline.

As a soldier, obeying orders is her duty. Although she wanted to tell Su Bai the truth several times on impulse, she finally held back.

There is me in the enemy and there is the enemy in me. The relationship here is too complicated. Faced with this contradiction, she chose to believe and execute Luo Pinzhang's orders, believing that he had a more comprehensive and detailed grasp of the situation between the enemy and me.

In fact, Wan Qili thought that Luo Pinzhang did not believe in the miraculous effects of the medicine in Su Bai's hands. Although he knew that the team leader sent Wan Qili to Longxing, he did not care much.

The matter was brought to his attention only after his team leader was assassinated by the Japanese. He wanted to get to the bottom of it, so he came to find Su Bai.

Luo Pinzhang basically told Su Bai the truth. The director of the Health Bureau was indeed at odds with the Military Control Commission. It did take a lot of effort to organize a team to test and determine the drugs the first time. Luo Pinzhang also wanted to help Su Bai conduct the second test, but he failed to convince the Health Bureau because the director was completely angry about the last result and thought that the Military Control Commission was just looking for trouble and was even deliberately causing trouble for him.

With the fall of Peiping and Tianjin and the stalemate in northern Hebei, everyone in the Health Bureau was indeed very busy. In the eyes of the director, after being fooled by the Military Control Commission once, he would never play along with them a second time.

Luo Pinzhang also told Su Bai a lie, that is, this matter had never been reported to the stationmaster of Shanghai Station from beginning to end, and it was almost the same as when the team leader was alive. The only people who knew about it were Luo Pinzhang and Wan Qili, and no one else in the second group knew about it.

The reason for doing this is still the same old story: Japanese spies have infiltrated very deeply, and they are afraid that the news will leak out.

Wan Qili did not come back on orders. She came back after receiving Luo Pinzhang's telegram and learning that the second communication with the people from the Department of Health had failed.

Luo Pinzhang gave up, but Wan Qili still thought that maybe she could help Su Bai in some way if she returned to Shanghai.

However, as soon as she returned to Shanghai, she reported the situation of Baili Company to the organization and demanded that Wang Shuan be eliminated.

This report was delayed again and again until the day before yesterday when it was approved by superiors. Unexpectedly, Wang Shuan escaped.

"Isn't your Military Control Commission very powerful?" Hearing this, Su Bai couldn't help but make a sarcastic remark.

Wan Qili said that it had been a foolproof plan, but no one expected that a few policemen were drinking in a nearby restaurant, and they could not kill the policemen, so they failed and she herself was injured.

Today at Guangci Hospital, Wang Shuan told the truth, because he didn't dare to attack the pharmaceutical factory easily. He planned to kidnap Wan Qili and find Su Bai through her.

Unexpectedly, when Su Bai appeared, Wan Qili could give up.

"Don't go to the pharmaceutical factory these days." Wan Qili said to Su Bai. Wang Shuan failed to keep up with Su Bai and lost Wan Qili. His next step will definitely be to attack the pharmaceutical factory.

Although the pharmaceutical factory was heavily guarded, not to mention armed spies, even ordinary strangers would find it difficult to approach, but Wan Qili reminded Su Bai that the people in the Municipal Council only recognized money, and the Japanese could also spend money in the Municipal Council.

Once the production process of streptomycin is completely mastered by the Municipal Council or Guangci Hospital, Su Bai will be of no use to them and they can simply sell Su Bai to the Japanese.

"Do you have to return to the team immediately?" Su Bai asked.

Wan Qili said no, as she was injured and would not be sent to perform new tasks by the Military Control Commission. She only needed to call Luo Pinzhang to report her safety. She could also tell him that it was Su Bai who saved him and that new medicine was used on her. She should ask him to report to the station chief this time and try to get the Department of Health to agree to re-identify the medicine.

"No need," Su Bai told Wan Qili that after Bi Yuming brought the medicine back to Nanjing this time, Boss Dai would personally come forward to communicate with the Department of Health.

"Then there will be no problem at all!" When Wan Qili heard that Boss Dai was coming forward, she thought that no matter how big the problem was, it could be solved.

"But Bi Yuming should have replied to the message today, but he hasn't done so yet." Su Bai frowned as he said this.

Wan Qili also helped Su Bai to calculate, and she thought Su Bai's estimate was a bit optimistic.

Because of the tense war situation, the already inefficient Nationalist government was now in even greater chaos. Even if Bi Yuming had communicated with Boss Dai in advance through his superiors, it would still take him several days to get the matter done after he returned to Nanjing.

"Boss Dai is also very busy." Wan Qili thought that according to Su Bai's calculation, it would be more reasonable to postpone it for another three days. It was almost impossible to get a reply today, and there was not much hope tomorrow.

Wan Qili said to Su Bai in a coquettish manner that since Bi Yuming had taken over some things, she didn't have to worry about it anymore. The Military Control Commission knew that she was injured and would let her rest for a while. She just happened to be recuperating here with Su Bai: "With my sister taking care of me, my injury will definitely recover faster!"

Liu Yiyan and Xu Tianyi came back one after another. As expected, Zi Yanru never waited for Bi Yuming.

"You," Su Bai said to Liu Yiyan, "will be staying in the director's office of the pharmaceutical factory starting tonight."

"Why me again?" Liu Yiyan was very reluctant.

Su Bai was worried that Bi Yuming would call him, so someone was waiting for the phone, so that even if it was a little early or late, Bi Yuming's call would not be missed.

"If someone attacks the pharmaceutical factory again in the middle of the night, you don't have to worry about anything. After calling the police, just hide in the office to save your life!"

"Hehe, Madam still cares about me." Liu Yiyan smiled playfully again.

Su Bai was completely relieved about Wan Qili, so he took a few people back to Haige Road. After all, the conditions here were much better than the courtyard in Caishi Street.

After dinner, when Liu Yiyan left, Su Bai remembered the doubts he and Zi Yan had about Liu Yiyan's coming to Shanghai. He asked Wan Qili whether she had deliberately revealed the information of Fahua Pharmaceutical Factory to Kong Yun, and whether she had calculated that Kong Yun would tell Liu Yiyan about this. Wan Qili denied it.

She remembered it very clearly. She only mentioned the four words "Fahua Pharmaceutical Factory" inadvertently once when chatting with Kong Man and Kong Yun. She regretted it as soon as she said it and hurriedly changed the subject. She didn't expect that they would remember it.

"Liu Yiyan must have been instigated by Kong Yun to come to Shanghai." Wan Qili said with certainty. From her conversation with the two sisters Kong Man, she could feel that they were indeed looking forward to Su Bai's return to Longxing, but they could do nothing about Su Bai's delay in returning.

Under such circumstances, it must have been a plan between the two sisters to instigate Liu Yiyan, a brainless guy, to come to Shanghai.

"Liu Yiyan has no brains? You are wrong."

As they were talking, Han Xiaoxiao came back.
