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

Zhou Beiwang told Su Bai another piece of news about him. His new boss had met with him and told him that the reason why the provincial government retained some local troops and did not merge them into the Third Army was because these troops each had their own important tasks.

The mission of the Longxing Independent Battalion is to secretly monitor Kong Li, not his security division, but the mine of the Kong brothers in Xishan.

No one expected that the Kong family’s mine in Xishan was not just an iron mine, but also contained other important mineral deposits.

As for what kind of important mineral deposit it was, the boss did not tell Zhou Beiwang, but only told him to pay close attention to whether all of Kong Li’s ore was sent to Linhua’s iron plant after being pulled down from the mountain.

This was quite some news, but Su Bai was in no mood to listen to Zhou Beiwang's nagging. He sent the word goodbye and turned off the radio.

Since Zi Yan and Chang Shunbao had just finished half of their work at the pharmaceutical factory yesterday and had to finish it today, Chang Shunbao went to the pharmaceutical factory early this morning and prepared to return to the new hospital before four o'clock in the afternoon.

Su Bai and Xu Tianyi came out of the old courtyard and found a public telephone booth to call the pharmaceutical factory. If Chang Shunbao was done with his work, they would ask him to go back to the new courtyard first. If he was not done, they would ask Xu Tianyi to help him finish it quickly.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Chang Shunbao answered the phone, he told Su Bai that Mr. Martin called and asked Su Bai to meet at the pharmaceutical factory at 2:30 pm. The general manager of the Municipal Council would go to the pharmaceutical factory to meet Su Bai in person, and there were many important people accompanying the general manager.

Martin repeatedly told Chang Shunbao on the phone to make sure to notify Su Bai.

"That's great! I'm just about to go back and find you guys!"

This Martin is really good at joining in the fun. He didn't call in the morning for such a big matter, but called at noon when Chang Shunbao couldn't contact Su Bai.

Fortunately, Su Bai called Chang Shunbao. If he hadn't called and went directly to the new courtyard to wait for the kidnappers, this important matter would have been delayed.

The general manager is coming with some important people...who could they be?

An appointment was made with the kidnappers at 4 p.m., and the meeting with important figures such as the chairman of the Municipal Council would be held to discuss matters. The matter would start at 2:30 p.m. and might not be finished by 4 p.m. Su Bai had no control over the time.

Chang Shunbao said that he could finish the work at hand before two o'clock and did not need Xu Tianyi's help.

Su Bai asked him to go back to the new hospital to wait for the kidnapper after he finished his work at the pharmaceutical factory, and told the kidnapper that he had something very important to do today and might be a little late, but he would definitely be there.

"Or, I'll go back to the new courtyard too. Aren't there just two kidnappers?" Xu Tianyi said confidently, "I can handle it by myself. With Chang Shunbao's help, I can be sure it's foolproof. Let's take them down first!"

"How do you know there are only two kidnappers?" Since it concerns Zi Yan's life and death, Su Bai doesn't dare to take the risk and decides to meet the kidnappers first.

"Let's hurry up and eat. It's almost time to go to the pharmaceutical factory after dinner." It was five to two when Su Bai and Xu Tianyi rushed to the pharmaceutical factory after dinner.

"Go ahead and gather everyone in the factory. There should be a welcoming ceremony for the general manager, right?"

Zi Yan is the nominal director of the pharmaceutical factory, and Xu Tianyi is the deputy director. Although he does not have as much contact with the people in the pharmaceutical factory as Zi Yan, he is familiar with them all.

Soon, Xu Tianyi found more than ten people to come over. A short and fat man in his forties saw Su Bai standing at the door, and ran over from a distance. He bowed breathlessly and said, "Mr. Lan, we meet again. What can I do for you?"

Mr. Lan?

In this era, both men and women can be called Mr., but I didn't ask them to address each other as Mr. It must be Zi Yan who did it.

Su Bai just thought the short and fat man looked familiar, but he couldn't remember who he was. He seemed to be a small leader.

"It's nothing. Our Fahua Pharmaceutical Factory will be directly under the management of the Municipal Council from now on. The general manager of the Municipal Council is coming today. Let's welcome him at the door."

"Well, do we need to prepare anything?" asked the short and fat man.

Su Bai raised his wrist to look at his watch. It was already ten past two.

It was too late to prepare, so we could only simply line up at the door.

After Xu Tianyi brought the others to the door, he introduced to Su Bai that the short and fat man was the general manager and production chief of the pharmaceutical factory, named Hu Songzhai.

He also introduced Su Bai to a tall, thin, bespectacled man in his thirties, the head of the pharmaceutical factory's technical inspection department, Li Ningsheng.

"Hello, Mr. Lan." Li Ningsheng bowed to Su Bai and spoke in a low voice. He seemed to be a well-educated person.

Then he introduced other people, both men and women, including finance, warehouse manager, workshop director, and several ordinary workers.

After Su Bai greeted everyone, Hu Songzhai immediately took action and directed the team to line up.

At 2:35, four cars drove up to the gate of the pharmaceutical factory. Martin got out of the first car. The person who got out with him was the general manager of the Municipal Council. The person who got out of the second car was Mayor Yu. He was in charge of the territories outside the French Concession and the International Settlement in Shanghai. The official name of the national government was Shanghai, but many ordinary people called the area outside the two concessions the Chinese Concession.

Su Bai's heart moved. Mayor Yu was the mayor appointed by the government. Why couldn't he contact the Department of Health through him?

The people who got off the last two cars were from the concession's health and epidemic prevention department and Guangci Hospital.

The director of Guangci Hospital came with several experts.

The dean was indeed a nun, wearing a black nun's uniform, but she was different from the nun Su Bai had imagined. She was in her fifties, talkative and laughing, and not at all rigid.

I thought I would have some exchanges with everyone, but I didn't expect that I would become a supporting role. From entering the factory to visiting each workshop, it was the general manager who did all the talking, advocating the outstanding performance of the health department of the Municipal Council in various aspects. Of course, streptomycin was one of the key points.

Only then did Su Bai realize that his lie to Martin had a bad effect. When the general manager introduced the inventor of streptomycin to everyone, he cooperated with Su Bai's lie. It was a scientist who did not want to disclose his name for the time being who invented streptomycin, and Su Bai was only responsible for its production.

As a result, no one will take me seriously anymore.

Su Bai quietly handed the business card to a person who was following the mayor and looked like either an assistant or a secretary, and whispered to him, "I can donate streptomycin to the government..."

This person actually didn't hear clearly and asked, "Miss Lan, what did you say?"

pig!

His words attracted everyone's attention, and Su Bai had to give up. Fortunately, he accepted the business card. He hoped that he would not throw it away. The next step was to go and talk to the mayor in detail.

What made Su Bai feel a little bit more was the two experts in the hospital. They briefly asked Su Bai about the recommended dosage and related contraindications of streptomycin, because they were about to do clinical work.

It was already four o'clock when the Municipal Council finished showing off.

Su Bai couldn't find a suitable opportunity to talk to the mayor.

After seeing off this group of people, Su Bai and Xu Tianyi immediately took a rickshaw to the new courtyard.

Xu Tianyi took out his two guns and walked in front, gently pushing open the door...

Immediately, two masked men rushed out from behind the door. Su Bai once again witnessed Xu Tianyi's agility. He pointed his double guns at the two masked men's heads one by one.

However, the masked man on the right was also not friendly and also pointed a gun at Xu Tianyi's head.

"Don't move, put down the gun!" Xu Tianyi shouted loudly.

Seeing this scene, Su Bai was definitely frightened, but she still had the courage to not retreat, and stood behind Xu Tianyi: "Put down your guns, and talk it over!"

The masked man on the right obediently put down his gun. Xu Tianyi moved very quickly. He raised his leg and kicked his right hand, which had not yet completely dropped, and kicked his gun away.

The guy covered his right wrist with his left hand and shouted to Su Bai behind him: "Su Bai, what do you want to do? Do you want to murder your husband?"

Su Bai's hair almost stood up. This voice was too familiar. Wasn't this that bastard Liu Yiyan?
