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

One should judge others by one's own standards. This is what Xu Tianyi kept saying to insult Zi Yan in the next few days.

Zi Yan's premonition failed.

On the evening of July 7, Charlie Han went to see the foreign director, and after some bargaining, the four gold bars were sold.

Early in the morning on the 9th, Han Charlie returned the two unused gold bars to Su Bai. This time Su Bai was not polite and accepted them after thanking him.

However, the house cannot be lived in for the time being. After all, this director is working for the previous director, and he needs to send a telegram to communicate with the real owner. However, he assured Charlie Han that this is just a formality.

Su Bai fell into waiting again.

Since Wan Jiaqi was needed to receive the telegram, Chang Shunbao returned to Longxing to report his safety, which was also the code agreed upon by Su Bai and him: the goods have arrived.

This made Wan Jiaqi ask: "There has been no shipment in the past few days?"

"Do you think we only ship from Shanghai?" Zi Yan retorted.

Every day I would buy the latest newspapers and special editions from the newsboys and follow the news about the war closely. On July 7, China and Japan reached a ceasefire agreement.

On the 10th, the Japanese army launched another attack.

On the 11th, the two sides reached a ceasefire again, which made Su Bai once again doubt the history he knew.

It was on this day that Charlie Han and the director formally signed an agreement and handed over the house at 55 Haig Road to him.

After completing the formalities in the morning, he came to No. 41 Bishop Yao Road in the afternoon with the title deed, relevant change procedures and agreements. He put all these materials in a brown paper bag and handed them to Su Bai.

He brought Su Bai a good news. He had been busy these two days. He had cleaned the yard and connected the phone. Considering that there might be many people living here with Su Bai, he even added a few beds.

"Miss Lan, we can check in now, shall we go?"

Su Bai brought Zi Yan and Xu Tianyi to No. 55 Haige Road. Zi Yan exclaimed that this villa was beautiful and better than the previous ones.

"Well, there's no place for you. You can take a rest here at noon, but you have to go back to No. 41 at night!" As Zi Yan didn't want Manager Wan to know about this residence, No. 41 had to be occupied, so she had to go back there.

Zi Yan agreed reluctantly.

"Thank you, Inspector Han. I didn't expect you to be so thoughtful." Su Bai thanked him sincerely. Charlie Han did a perfect job on this matter.

It's normal if you think about it. He was able to raise his sister single-handedly and act as both a brother and a mother. His ability to do housework was forced out of him.

Han Charlie told Su Bai that the director saw that China and Japan did not fight, and felt that the house was sold at a low price, so he wanted to go back on his word.

"In fact, the agreement has already been signed. He just wants more benefits."

Su Bai looked at him and was about to ask him if he needed to give the director some more money, but Han Charlie said that he didn't need to give him a penny. The director was a well-known drunkard in the municipal board. He was just an idler who couldn't do anything. No matter what happened in the future, he would not be needed.

Su Bai nodded. This was very good. Han Charlie was very familiar with the power structure of the Municipal Council. If something really happened, he would be able to find the temple gate even if he carried a pig's head.

Charlie Han added: “General matters can be settled by finding Mr. Martin.”

This Mr. Martin is the second-in-command of the Municipal Council and the one who accepted 20 gold bars from Su Bai.

"Well, it's good that the war doesn't break out. We can all live a peaceful life. I always feel that if China and Japan go to war, there will be no peace in the French Concession!" Han Charlie sighed.

The matter that puzzled Su Bai was brought up again. Was the Marco Polo Bridge Incident just settled like that?

When several people followed Han Charlie to No. 55 Haig Road, Xu Tianyi also said that Su Bai's prediction was not very accurate this time. The battle did not even start. The two sides made a few gestures and then negotiated peace.

Zi Yan retorted: "You want to go to war when we have a peaceful life?"

Xu Tianyi's words were recognized by everyone: "What can we do if we don't fight? Can the Japanese get out of China on their own if we don't fight?"

Just when everyone was praising him and giving him a thumbs up, he said something unpleasant: "If we don't fight, who will we sell our medicine to?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he was slapped by Su Bai: "Are we making money from the national disaster?"

“When will Mr. Chang come back? Is it soon?” Han Charlie asked.

In the past two days, he asked this question every day, and he didn't need Su Bai to answer. He comforted himself: "It should be soon. Fortunately, there is no war. There shouldn't be any problems on the way."

But the war still started.

That night, the newsboys' cries were louder than usual. That very day, the Japanese army had launched a full-scale offensive.

Just after the Pingjin authorities reached a second ceasefire agreement with the Japanese, the Japanese tanks, artillery, and aircraft launched attacks on the National Army from multiple locations.

It was not until then that we realized that the previous ceasefire statement was just a delaying tactic used by the Japanese side to buy time to mobilize troops.

History has not changed, it's just that I am not clear about the details of the July 7 Incident.

Han Charlie called that night and told Su Bai that according to what he had heard, many places had been blocked and inaccessible, and he began to worry whether Mr. Chang could return safely.

"The area that is impassable is the Beijing-Tianjin area, right? Mr. Chang hasn't been that far, so it shouldn't be a big problem." Su Bai believed that if a war broke out in the Beijing-Tianjin area, it would not affect Shandong so quickly.

I said this, but I was really worried in my heart.

Before Chang Shunbao returned to Longxing this time, Su Bai made an agreement with him that, apart from using a secret code to report safety after arriving in Longxing, he would not need to send any more messages if nothing unexpected happened, indicating that everything was safe.

The reason for doing this is that they are afraid that frequent telegrams will be known to Manager Wan's family.

As for Wan Qili, Su Bai no longer expected her to come back with Chang Shunbao. If she wanted to come back, she would come back naturally. If she didn't want to, he couldn't tie her back.

"Starting tomorrow, I will go to the dock to pick up Mr. Chang every day!" Han Charlie was anxious.

Su Bai understood his feelings and told him that he just needed to catch the boat returning from Qingdao.

Unexpectedly, on July 7, the next morning, Han Charlie picked up Chang Shunbao from the dock.

Han Charlie was so happy that he danced with joy. He had found out on the way that Chang Shunbao had brought back the pharmaceutical raw materials very smoothly.

Su Bai also breathed a sigh of relief, because Chang Shunbao said as soon as he entered the room: "Don't worry, Miss Lan, everything has been done."

With Charlie Han on the side, other things cannot be discussed in detail, this sentence represents everything.

"With the raw materials, how long does it take to make this medicine?" Han Charlie asked.

"One or two days."

“Great!” Charlie Han walked around the room and asked Zi Yan again, “Did your parents cure it with this medicine?”

“If you don’t believe it, don’t use it!” Zi Yan was familiar with Han Charlie, so she was not polite at all when she confronted him.

"I believe it, I believe it!"

Su Bai asked Charlie Han to make arrangements to visit his sister in the isolation ward of the hospital tomorrow afternoon: “The hospital will definitely not allow us to use medicine privately, and we cannot let doctors or nurses in the ward.”

"Okay, okay, can the medicine be made tomorrow?" Han Charlie asked again.

Be a ghost. It is a ready-made medicine. It only needs to be sterilized and refilled, which can be done in a short time.

"Yes." Su Bai nodded.

Only then did Han Charlie leave.

Since everything went well, Wan Qili's situation became the first thing Su Bai wanted to know.

"Miss Wan..." Chang Shunbao shook his head: "How strange."
