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

However, Zhou Beiwang thought that since Bi Yuming was most likely carrying out a secret mission, it was normal that he could not get any news from Bi Yuming. But Bi Yuming had the opportunity to learn about his situation and secretly pleaded for Zhou Beiwang, which was reasonable.

Money makes the world go round. Manager Wan used a gold bar to get in touch with the Chinese detective named Han Charlie of the Concession Police Station, and through him he contacted a French director of the Municipal Council. The French director readily promised to take care of the Fahua Pharmaceutical Factory, but the director asked for 20 gold bars.

Although Manager Wan felt that the other party's appetite was too big to accept, Su Bai did not hesitate and directly took out 20 gold bars and gave them to Manager Wan, asking him to give them to the Lord Director.

It would be better for the county magistrate to take charge now. Su Bai asked Manager Wan to continue to maintain a good relationship with Inspector Han, who gave him a foreign name, in the identity of Liu Abao, and to keep doing things like having meals with him and giving him small gifts.

"It doesn't matter if we spend money, as long as we can still afford it. I just need Fahua Pharmaceutical Factory..." Su Bai thought for a moment and said, "Three months of peace."

The Battle of Shanghai began on August 8, but Su Bai couldn't remember when it ended.

It is July now, and it will be October in three months. She thinks it should be about time.

The new plan she made for herself was to wait until the battle started, send the medicines to the front line, report back to the upper levels, and then, with the support of the National Government, mass-produce penicillin and erythromycin to support the war of resistance.

This was also a helpless move. There was no way to get news from Bi Yuming, and the connections he found through Wan Qili eventually led the spies to target him. It was dangerous to find connections from the bottom up, and it was also dangerous to carry medicines to support the battle. As both were risky, Su Bai chose the latter.

Su Bai’s next plan was to leave Shanghai before the end of the battle.

There are two ways to leave. One is to simply get yourself out of danger and transport the main equipment of the pharmaceutical factory out of Shanghai. The other is to obtain the approval of the National Government and follow their arrangements in everything.

Su Bai certainly hopes to leave Shanghai in the second way, but after all the previous setbacks, she has long lost confidence and can only take things one step at a time.

On July 7, Xu Tianyi left Shanghai.

Su Bai asked him to return to Longxing as soon as possible and bring erythromycin.

Since it is inconvenient to collect fungi in Shanghai, Su Bai has no plans to produce erythromycin here. Erythromycin can be produced through chemical synthesis, but Su Bai has not done research in this area before, and it is too late to make up for it now.

Compared with penicillin, erythromycin is much easier to carry and use.

"Bring one person back. You two can take as much as you can, but be careful about safety." Su Bai instructed Xu Tianyi that one suitcase per person would be enough. Any more would attract attention. They must return to Shanghai before July 7.

I bought a boat ticket from Shanghai to Qingdao at a high price, and then bought a boat ticket from Qingdao back to Shanghai in advance. No matter how much money it costs, it doesn't matter. What's important is time.

Su Bai really couldn't remember what happened between the July 7 Incident and the August 13th Battle. He did this just to be on the safe side.

Even if you are good at history, you still won't be able to understand many small things that happened during this period, such as whether it will affect shipping from Qingdao to Shanghai, whether inspections will be tightened along the way, etc. You can't learn such details in history courses, not to mention that Su Bai's history grades in school were really not good enough.

"In this case, there is only more than one day but less than two days to get back to Longxing!" Xu Tianyi felt that time was too tight.

It is not difficult to avoid Kong Li's surveillance and get the medicine. Moreover, according to Kong Yun's recent telegram, Kong Li has basically stopped monitoring the Kong Mansion. Wan Qili and Qian Rufei also said the same thing.

"Isn't that enough? What else do you want to do?" Su Bai asked.

Xu Tianyi wanted to go back and see Zhou Beiwang, and also wanted to learn more about the situation there.

"Make sure you get the medicine first. You can try other things when there is time and there is no danger." Su Bai instructed Xu Tianyi not to go directly to Zhou Beiwang after returning, and try to go through Gao Hu or Bai Ying.

"Bring Wan Qili back to me!"

After Wan Qili left, although Wan Jiaqi began to receive telegrams for him, he was too slow. He had to decipher the codes before sending the message, and also translate the recorded codes into text after receiving the message. It was ok for simple things, but once more detailed communication was required, it would take two or three hours, or even half a day.

"Okay, then you can bring back three suitcases!" Xu Tianyi also felt that with Wan Qili by Su Bai's side, Su Bai's personal safety would at least be guaranteed an extra layer of insurance.

"Madam, don't go anywhere before I come back. Let Manager Wan handle anything. Please be careful!" Xu Tianyi had become nagging without knowing it.

"Don't call me Madam in the future!" This was not the first time that Su Bai emphasized to Xu Tianyi that in Shanghai, she was Lan Jieru, Miss Lan, and Manager Wan was Liu Abao, Boss Liu.

Su Bai was more careful than Xu Tianyi in thinking about not going out. She had rented a yard not far from her current residence yesterday. She and Zi Yan did this by themselves and did not go through Manager Wan.

It's not that she intentionally hid it from Manager Wan, but Manager Wan was too busy these two days, busy building relationships between the Municipal Council and the Police Station, so Su Bai could only see him twice, in the morning and in the evening.

On July 7, the day after Xu Tianyi left, Su Bai decided to live in the newly rented yard and only return to the old yard twice a day at the time of sending telegrams.

There was no new news during the morning telegram sending time. Su Bai only asked Wan Jiaqi to tell Wan Qili that the Municipal Council of the Concession had been dealt with and it was safe here for the time being, and asked her to come back with Xu Tianyi.

Wan Qili only replied with two words: I understand.

At the evening telegram sending time, Su Bai came to the old courtyard again and received the news that Xu Tianyi had returned to Longxing at noon today.

"Do you want to ask for more details?" Wan Jiaqi asked.

Su Bai shook his head and said, "No need for that. Xu Tianyi will bring back the details. There's no need to send messages back and forth here until midnight."

Fortunately, no one is monitoring these commercial radio stations now. Once a war breaks out, they probably won't be able to send messages so recklessly for a long time.

"Uh..." After turning off the radio, Wan Jiaqi hesitantly told Su Bai that someone wanted to see Su Bai.

"who?"

Zi Yan questioned Wan Jiaqi from the side: "Miss Lan can't see anyone recently. Didn't she tell you?"

"This person... is from the Military Control Commission."

Su Bai refused without hesitation: "No!"

No matter whether he was from the Military Control Commission or the Central Control Commission, Su Bai really didn't dare to take any more risks.

He spent 20 gold bars to settle the matter with the Municipal Council and bribed Inspector Han to send people to patrol near the Fahua Pharmaceutical Factory all day long. There were fewer suspicious people around the pharmaceutical factory, and Su Bai didn't want to create any more trouble.

I just want to wait for Bi Yuming, and if I can't wait for him, I will wait for the war to start.

No, Su Bai looked at Wan Jiaqi. How could the people from the Military Control Commission find him? How could he be sure that the other party was a member of the Military Control Commission?
