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

Han Charlie's inference made Su Bai almost burst out laughing. He believed that the Japanese targeted the pharmaceutical factory with the intention of sabotaging it, or even blowing it up.

His reasons were reasonable. Once a war broke out, various medicines suitable for the front line were important strategic and reserve supplies. The army would fight on the front line, and spies would be sent to the rear to cause sabotage. This kind of thing was very common in the history of war.

"That's about the same." This was the only way Su Bai could answer him.

“Don’t worry, I won’t let them succeed!” Han Charlie boasted again.

Su Bai took a sip of tea and said to Charlie Han, "Doing business requires a lot of money. The current situation of drug sales is not very good. The funds of the pharmaceutical factory are not particularly abundant. If there is anything that Detective Han needs my help with, please tell me in advance if possible so that I can be prepared."

The conditions are stated very clearly, which means that you'd better tell me in advance when you want the money and how much you want. I don't always have money available, and sometimes I need some time to raise the money.

To be honest, Su Bai has always hated bribery and has no experience in this area. It can be seen that Han Charlie likes to be straightforward when it comes to money, so it is better to just put it bluntly. He doesn't have the energy to guess how big his appetite is.

In addition to the gold bar that Shopkeeper Wan used as a stepping stone, he gave Han Charlie two gold bars in the past two days alone. From Han Charlie's expression, it can be seen that the money was too much.

Can't you give him a gold bar every time you see him in the future?

When I came to Shanghai from Longxing, I brought nearly 300 gold bars. After buying the pharmaceutical factory, I had about a hundred bars left. Before I knew it, there were less than 100 bars left.

I am now spending more than I earn, and the expenses are so high. If this continues, I'm afraid I won't be able to hold on for much longer.

"Enough, enough!" Han Charlie's answer made Su Bai feel relieved. He didn't seem to be the kind of greedy person. He said that Miss Lan was very generous, and he felt uneasy about taking so much money without doing anything for Miss Lan.

"If my family wasn't in trouble..." He hesitated for a moment and then said, "I definitely wouldn't take so much money from Miss Lan without doing anything."

He was not afraid of Su Bai laughing at him. He really could not support his family with the salary he earned as a detective in the police station. He had to rely on extra income.

He does things with principles and charges according to the tasks he completes.

“From now on, Miss Lan, just treat me as yours!” Charlie Han’s bold words came.

If he really thought so, it would be ideal, but Su Bai didn't dare to believe it and thought that their relationship was still based on money.

"Then I would like to thank Inspector Han in advance. We are friends now. If you have any difficulties, just tell me directly. Just say it as directly as I need your help. The better. I am very busy and I really don't want to be distracted by mutual suspicion between friends."

"Hahaha, that's great, I'll follow Miss Lan's lead!"

Han Charlie then told Su Bai some words that did not sound like lies. As inspectors, the salary of foreign inspectors was several times that of Chinese inspectors. Moreover, these foreign inspectors basically did not care about anything. When there were actions or dangers, they always sat in the office to give orders and listen to news.

The Municipal Council also felt that these foreign detectives only took money but did not do any work. Therefore, there are only a few first-line foreign detectives in the French Concession.

As a detective, his police station has much less profits than other police stations because of its remote location and small population, resulting in fewer public security cases.

The higher the crime rate and the more foreign population there are, the more money there is to make.

Su Bai was surprised by Han Charlie’s straightforwardness.

Everyone understands this kind of thing, but it feels awkward when it comes from a detective.

Han Charlie suddenly lowered his head: “To be honest, I have a sister who has tuberculosis, which is what we call consumption.”

"Tuberculosis?" Su Bai stood up immediately, his mind racing. If he could cure his sister's tuberculosis, wouldn't Han Charlie really become one of his own?

The prerequisite is that he must be a person with a conscience.

Su Bai didn't say that he could cure this disease, so let's listen to him first.

Han Charlie's parents died early, and the brother and sister depended on each other. It can be said that he raised his sister single-handedly. His sister is more than ten years younger than him.

My sister has been suffering from tuberculosis for more than a year, and has been living in the isolation ward of Guangci Hospital in the French Concession for more than a year.

Han Charlie spent all his salary and limited savings on his sister, spending the most money to buy her the best medicine. But when he went to see his sister a few days ago, the doctor told him that his sister had started vomiting blood and she might not live long.

At this point, Su Bai saw that Charlie Han’s eyes were moist.

"I have spent all the money I should have spent. I have no choice but to spend more time with her. The doctor won't allow it because he is afraid of infection."

"It doesn't matter. Maybe there is a way."

“Is there a way?” Han Charlie’s eyes lit up.

"Did the doctor say how long your sister has left?"

Charlie Han shook his head: “He can’t tell for sure, maybe… a few months.”

"You go find a doctor and ask him to improve her nutrition and use the best nutritional medicine to enhance immunity and strengthen her physical fitness... In short, use whatever you can to save her life and prevent any accidents!" Su Bai didn't know what nutritional medicines were available in this era, so just tell the doctor. He will definitely know.

"Save her life for a month, I have a plan!"

“Really?” Charlie Han almost jumped up, holding Su Bai’s hands tightly with both hands: “Miss Lan, are you telling the truth?”

Su Bai nodded: "I am... 80% sure."

Charlie Han couldn’t believe it, but he didn’t know that Su Bai was already being humble again.

Su Bai asked the doctor to save his sister's life for a month only because he was not sure whether Chang Shunbao could bring the medicine back to Shanghai safely after the July 7 Incident.

You have a month. If you can't bring it back once, try again twice. There will always be a way.

Although he only made a batch of streptomycin, he only used it on Zi Yan's parents and treated only two patients. There was still a lot of medicine left, enough to treat another ten or eight patients.

"I, I..." Han Charlie let go of Su Bai's hand, a little at a loss. Tuberculosis is a terminal illness. In order to treat his sister, he and the foreign doctors in Guangci Hospital have almost become brothers. Even these first-class foreign doctors in the country shake their heads about this disease. Can this Miss Lan cure it?

It’s not that he doesn’t believe it, it’s that he doesn’t dare to believe it.

Su Bai took out another gold bar and said, "Nutritional medicines are very expensive. Take this gold bar."

Su Bai believed that if he could cure Han Charlie's sister's illness, this gold bar might be the last one he spent on Han Charlie.

value.

Not only is it worth spending this little money, the life-saving grace is deeper than the sea. If Charlie Han has a conscience, even if he doesn't become his completely, half of him will do.

“No, no, the money is enough.” Charlie Han waved his hands repeatedly.

"Take it!" Su Bai pressed the gold bar into his hand in an imperative tone: "Trust me, I will definitely be able to cure your sister's illness!"

This time, the confidence level increased from 80% to 100%.
