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

"What's going on? Tell me clearly!" Su Bai was angry and asked harshly.

"Sister, please don't ask. The more you know, the worse it will be for you. In the next few days, you'd better not go anywhere else except the pharmaceutical factory and home. Wait for my news!"

"Stop right there!" Su Bai tried to stop Wan Qili, but she was faster and had already run to the yard: "I'm going back to Longxing. I'll send you a message when I get back!"

What’s going on? She’s going to escape to Longxing?

Under Su Bai's repeated questioning, Manager Wan revealed some information to Su Bai. Wan Qili might be targeted by spies. Even if she did not leave Shanghai, she could not be with Su Bai for the time being. Longxing is so far away from Shanghai, it is safer there.

"Where else can she go if she doesn't go back to Longxing?" Manager Wan asked Su Bai.

……

The next day was July 7st, only six days away from the July 1 Incident.

Su Bai understood that no matter what he did now, it would be too late to complete the plan that he had conceived and revised countless times before.

Mr. Xu got the boat ticket and finally waited for the time to board the ship. Before leaving, he asked Manager Wan to pass the Buick to Su Bai, and then asked someone to ask Manager Wan to pass a letter to Su Bai.

When Manager Wan handed the letter to Su Bai, Mr. Xu's ship had already left Shanghai.

The beginning of the letter was a bunch of polite nonsense, and only at the end did he tell Su Bai an important piece of news. In recent days, someone had been investigating various pharmaceutical factories and drug distributors. He believed that sooner or later they would find out about the Fahua Pharmaceutical Factory and that the current owner of the Fahua Pharmaceutical Factory was Lan Jieru.

"What should we do?" Manager Wan thought this matter was of great importance, and he even suggested that Su Bai should hide back in Longxing.

Su Bai had no such plan. The war was about to break out, and it would soon be time for his medicine to show its magic. What could he do if he returned to Longxing? This time, Kong Li had not done anything to the Kong Mansion after he had been away for such a long time because he could do nothing with him who was far away in Shanghai. After he returned, Kong Li would take action to completely restrict his freedom.

"But you don't have complete freedom in Shanghai. These spies are hiding in the dark, and we have no way to guard against them!" Manager Wan seemed very anxious.

Su Bai believes that these spies are all secretive and he has Xu Tianyi by his side, so he should be careful when going out and there won't be any problems.

Manager Wan said something that Su Bai felt made a lot of sense. It was not just the spies' business. Since they could check pharmaceutical factories, pharmacies and drug dealers door to door, it meant that government officials were involved.

Manager Wan believed that these officials were not necessarily traitors, they just took the money.

At present, these officials are extremely corrupt and will do things for whoever pays them.

The same was true in the French Concession. The foreigners in the Municipal Council tried every means to make money, and it was easier for the other party to bribe them.

"Manager Wan, do you have any acquaintances in the Municipal Council? If they can spend money, so can we!" Su Bai still refused to leave.

"Then... I'll try." Manager Wan said that he knew a detective in the police station and could try to contact the Municipal Council through him, but it was hard to say whether it would work.

"Okay, don't be afraid to spend money!" Su Bai has made up his mind. Since they only care about money, he will use the money to buy them into his own family.

There is still no news about Bi Yuming. After Zhou Beiwang was arrested, it became even more difficult to get news about Bi Yuming.

As for Zhou Beiwang, there has been no new news for several days.

I have been in Shanghai for more than two months. I ordered nine batches of additional equipment, but only two have arrived, which is far from my expectations.

In Cave No. 60 of Panlong Cave in Longxing, the backlog of penicillin has exceeded 30 pieces, and there are pieces in Shanghai as well.

Su Bai was at a loss as to what to do but wait.

On July 7nd, there was finally good news.

It was a telegram sent by Wan Qili at 10 a.m. as agreed. She had returned to Longxing, but did not live in the Confucius Mansion. Instead, she lived in the courtyard that Su's Modern Trading Company bought before moving to Linhua.

She heard from Qian Rufei that Kong Li might restore Zhou Beiwang's freedom within one or two days. According to Qian Rufei, there were military officers pleading for Kong Li these days, so it seemed that Zhou Beiwang was quite popular among the security division.

There was another piece of news: Kong Li's plan to apply to the provincial government for additional troops to suppress bandits was not approved, but he was allowed to station a small number of troops in the mountains to prevent banditry.

There is something that Kong Yun has never told Su Bai. For the past two months, they have been delivering food to Yang Huasen in the mountains intermittently.

Su Bai has sent seven or eight batches of goods to Longxing's company, and has never asked them to remit a penny. A considerable portion of their profits have been used to support Yang Huasen. It seems that Kong Man is determined to support Yang Huasen and his army.

Just as Su Bai expected, the Kong Mansion has been very peaceful since Su Bai left.

The last piece of gossip is that the relationship between the Sixth Concubine and Commissioner Huang Wenchang has been basically made public in Linhua County. The two often go in and out of various places as a pair.

After Wan Qili fled back to Longxing, her brother Wan Jiaqi became the radio operator here.

Wan Jiaqi's telegram speed was much slower than Wan Qili's. This time, Wan Qili's telegram communication lasted until noon. Manager Wan brought back another good news to Su Bai. He had found the inspector. He immediately promised to contact a director of the Municipal Council. As long as he was willing to pay, the safety of the Fahua Pharmaceutical Factory in the concession would be no problem.

The inspector also told Manager Wan a piece of information. For several days, when they were patrolling the concession, they found that there were unidentified people hanging around the Fahua Pharmaceutical Factory.

Su Bai immediately realized that the owner of Fahua Pharmaceutical Factory was Lan Jieru, and she had been found out.

Moreover, that dog spy Wang Shuan must have known about it.

This group of unidentified people should be Wang Shuan’s men. They might be Japanese, traitors, or gang members who took their money to do things for them.

At the agreed time for sending the message in the evening, Su Bai asked Wan Jiaqi to tell Wan Qili that the pharmaceutical factory had been exposed and there was no need for her to hide in Longxing anymore, so he asked her to come back.

But Wan Qili said that there were some things she had to figure out before she could come back.

Su Bai was so angry that he wanted to curse.

She was not angry at Wan Qili for being disobedient, but she was angry that she still refused to tell the truth to her. Escaping back to Longxing seemed like a simple matter, but the truth behind it was not simple. The crux of the problem lay with Wan Qili, or to be more precise, it was related to her true identity.

Su Bai even suspected Wan Qili, could she be a spy?

Riding a horse, shooting, driving, sending radio messages... With so many skills, doesn't he look like a spy?

Two days later, on July 7, Zhou Beiwang sent a telegram to Su Bai, saying that he had been released by Kong Li and reinstated.

The decisive factor was not the pleading of several officers of the Security Division, but the role played by the Military Control Commission.

According to information revealed to Zhou Beiwang by the current director of the political and educational department of the security division, it was the higher-ups who spoke directly for Zhou Beiwang, and he only found out about it afterwards.

Su Bai quickly asked Wan Jiaqifa to ask Zhou Beiwang whether Bi Yuming had contributed to it.

But the answer I got was that there has been no news about Bi Yuming so far.

Zhou Beiwang also couldn't understand why the Military Control Commission would help.
