"Brother Tianyi, let me go back!" Chang Shunbao on the side also stood up and took the initiative to ask to go back and handle this matter.

He believed that Xu Tianyi was far superior to him in both martial arts and marksmanship. In the short few hours since arriving in Shanghai, he had realized that Su Bai's situation here was very dangerous, and it would be more appropriate to keep Xu Tianyi by his side.

Su Bai calculated the days. Today was July 7th. The earliest boat ticket that could be booked would be tomorrow. When he returned to Longxing, it would be July 7th.

If you book a return boat ticket, the earliest you can get to Shanghai is July 7th.

She shook her head vigorously and became confused again.

The July 7 Incident happened today, but Su Bai can't remember the exact time it happened. So far, no news has been heard from Peiping. The July 7 Incident was just the beginning of the full-scale war of resistance. It will take some time for the Japanese army to reach Shandong, right?

What's the point of counting the days here?

"Don't rush to come back. You can come back on July 7th or even 15th." Su Bai instructed Chang Shunbao to do things well and put safety first.

Bring some erythromycin when you come back, but don’t bring the gun, leave it in Shanghai for now.

Su Bai believed that once the war broke out, Chang Shunbao might be discovered carrying a gun on the road.

"No one checked when we arrived!" Chang Shunbao was puzzled. Would they check after just a few days?

"Forget it, don't bring erythromycin!" Su Bai had to eliminate all possible dangers.

Su Bai asked Chang Shunbao to go back and do two main things. In addition to preventing Wan Qili from getting the medicine, there was another equally important thing. Kong Man and Kong Yun both knew how to send telegrams, and they must have code books in their hands.

Ask them for a code book.

"Is it a code book?" Xu Tianyi asked.

"It's not a code book, it's a code book." Su Bai told Xu Tianyi that the code book is just a tool to convert Morse code into text. An excellent radio operator will memorize this code book in his mind, such as Wan Qili.

But Wan Jiaqi couldn't do that. He had to translate the text into code according to the code book and send it out, then write down the received code and translate it again according to the code book.

"Why not just ask Wan Jiaqi for one?" Xu Tianyi asked.

"You have a pig brain?" Zi Yan scolded him, "Young Madam did this because she didn't want the Wan family to know?"

This gave Xu Tianyi an advantage, and he retorted, "Call her Miss Lan, not Madam. Why can't you remember?"

Su Bai glared at the two of them and then instructed Chang Shunbao that these two things were important and must be accomplished.

If he returns and finds that Wan Qili has already taken the medicine from Niu Yanzi, he will contact the mountain and ask them to send some people down to help. After controlling Wan Qili, he will take back the medicine she has taken.

The reason why these people in the backyard were not used was for safety reasons, because Wan Qili recognized them.

"Remember, you can't kill anyone!"

Wan Qili's behavior and suspicion of the Wan family are still speculations so far, and Su Bai cannot do something irreparable.

In addition, there is one more small thing. If you can do it, do it. If you can’t, forget it.

Let Kong Man and Kong Yun take the radio with them. If the two sisters spend more time at the Kong Mansion, they can leave the radio there. If they spend more time at Linhua Commercial Bank, they can bring the radio to Linhua.

Su Bai thought so. If there was really an organization behind Wan Qili, she would definitely use this radio to contact her backstage. As long as Kong Man and Kong Yun paid more attention, it would not be difficult to find that she would use the radio outside the communication time agreed with Su Bai.

Su Bai suddenly felt that she could be called a nagging person. She talked a lot. Fortunately, Chang Shunbao took a piece of paper and simply wrote down a few words. Otherwise, he would have forgotten half of it when he returned to Longxing.

Seeing that it was still early, Su Bai asked Zi Yan and Xu Tianyi to go out and find another house.

"Yes, a cunning rabbit has three burrows. We must not let the Wan family know that we have found another house!"

"Is a cunning rabbit having three burrows a compliment? Go quickly!" Su Bai raised his wrist and looked at his watch. It was not yet four o'clock.

Not long after Zi Yan and Xu Tianyi left, around five o'clock, Su Bai heard someone knocking on the gate.

Three urgent and one slow were the secret codes agreed upon between Luo Pinzhang and himself.

Su Bai arrived at the gate of the courtyard. Someone knocked on the door outside again. Su Bai also responded from inside and passed a note through the crack in the door.

It says: The goods have been delivered, waiting for good news.

If Luo Pinzhang was really entrusted by Bi Yuming to communicate with the higher-ups on his behalf, this note would indicate that the drug samples had been delivered to key figures in the Department of Health.

Next, they will find experts to conduct identification and do drug sensitivity tests or antibacterial and bactericidal experiments. Su Bai doesn’t know what methods they will use, but it will take time anyway.

If the work is done efficiently, there will be a reply in a day or two. However, Su Bai has no confidence in the current government departments. Bureaucracy is rampant and corruption is serious. Who knows how many days it will take?

What's more, we can't be sure whether Luo Pinzhang sent the samples to the Department of Health or to the Japanese.

When it got dark at night, Xu Tianyi and Zi Yan came back.

They found a new house.

This is a house located near Caishi Street, with a separate door and yard. The landlord posted a rental notice on the door, and they took it down.

The name Caishi Street probably comes from the fact that this small street is a place similar to an open-air vegetable market.

Su Bai had been there not only in recent days, but also before he traveled here.

Su Bai was quite familiar with Shanghai. Caishi Street was the modern Ninghai East Road.

Manager Wan and his family lived on Edo Road, which is now Yan'an East Road. It was also the northernmost part of the French Concession and was only one street away from the International Settlement.

The new courtyard where I live now and the old courtyard are located north and south, a little west of Aiduoya Road and Caishi Street.

Although Shanghai is called big, it is not big at all if compared with modern cities.

His own Fahua Pharmaceutical Factory was located on Haige Road, the southernmost part of the French Concession, which is now called Huashan Road.

The distance between north and south is no more than two kilometers.

The landlord's phone number was on the rental notice. Su Bai asked Zi Yan and Xu Tianyi to contact the landlord immediately after arriving at the pharmaceutical factory tomorrow and rent the yard no matter how much it cost.

"Are you afraid of war?" Su Bai suddenly asked.

Xu Tianyi and Chang Shunbao laughed immediately. They were both soldiers and had fought in many battles. Why should they be afraid of fighting?

Su Bai looked at Zi Yan, and she also said she was not afraid. There had been no major wars in the Sanlong area in recent years, but small wars had occurred frequently. The common people had long been accustomed to it, and the death of a few people in someone's family had become a common occurrence.

The reason why Su Bai asked this was that he suddenly felt that letting them stay with him until the August 13th Shanghai Battle was equivalent to bringing them into danger.

After hearing what they said, Su Bai felt relieved, but he also felt that he was worrying too much. Once the war broke out, every Chinese person would be involved.

"Why do you think of asking this?" Zi Yan asked.

Su Bai looked out the door and sighed, "The war is about to begin."

"When?" Xu Tianyi said immediately: "Gao Hu said that the young mistress is simply amazing, and everything she says comes true!"

Su Bai looked at him and said calmly, "Today."
