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

The sounds of glass shattering, bullets whistling, and metal colliding with the car body suddenly filled the air.

Bullets flew in from the open car window, shattering the windshield glass. The glass shards even splashed onto the back seat where Su Bai was lying on his stomach with his head in his hands. Liu Yiyan and Wan Qili were both sitting up and down, leaning out of the window from time to time to fight back.

Liu Yiyan kept shouting loudly to instruct Xu Tianyi to steer and accelerate.

Pedestrians and vendors on both sides of the road screamed and ran away.

As the sirens blared, the gunshots gradually stopped.

It was the first time that Su Bai felt the shock and thrill brought by flying bullets at such a close distance. Fortunately, it did not last long. After about a few minutes, the two cars no longer caught up with him, and the sirens were blaring.

"Turn right and go to the International Settlement!" said Wan Qili.

"Aren't we going to the Military Control Commission Shanghai Station?" Xu Tianyi asked as he turned right.

"This is Shanghai Station." Wan Qili said, pointing to a building less than ten meters ahead.

Although the Military Intelligence Bureau's Shanghai Station was kept secret from ordinary Military Intelligence Bureau personnel in the Chinese area, many people knew about this place, including the Japanese.

So after chasing him to a nearby place, he gave up.

The police station is not far from Shanghai Station. Wan Qili chose to come to this place to scare off the two cars behind them, but the gunfight just now has alarmed the police. Unless we want to go to the police station to explain everything, we have to get rid of them as soon as possible.

Going to the International Settlement is the best choice.

"Sister, are you okay?" Wan Qili asked Su Bai who had just stood up from her seat.

"It's okay." Su Bai felt his lips trembling as he spoke.

"It's not a big deal." Liu Yiyan reached out from the front seat and picked up a piece of glass that had splashed into Su Bai's hair. He turned around and said to Xu Tianyi, "If I were driving, this wouldn't have happened!"

Xu Tianyi ignored him this time. His driving skills were indeed not good. In his panic, he only knew to accelerate and rush forward. He didn't know how to hold off the cars behind him and prevent them from overtaking him.

The sound of sirens behind us gradually faded away, and the car drove into the International Settlement.

Wan Qili told Su Bai that whenever a gunfight or a major crime occurred nearby, the patrol officers in the International Settlement would set up temporary checkpoints at the intersections to check incoming vehicles and suspicious persons. Fortunately, we entered the concession without stopping for a moment. If we were a few minutes later, we would have been stopped and questioned by the patrol officers.

With Wan Qili's guidance, the car turned around and arrived at a repair shop.

"Let's fix the car and install the glass first, otherwise the patrolling police will question us." Wan Qili said again.

The front and rear windshields of the car were shattered, and there were more than a dozen bullet holes and craters on the right side of the car body.

The car was taken to the repair shop for repair, and the four of them called three rickshaws. Xu Tianyi and Liu Yi sat in the front and back, while Wan Qili and Su Bai sat in the middle one.

Wan Qili was helped onto a rickshaw by Liu Yiyan. She was shot in the leg during the attack on Baili Company and had difficulty walking.

Fortunately, they returned all the way back to the French Concession and smoothly arrived at No. 7 Caishi Street, a courtyard that Su Bai had never been to since he rented the house.

The reason why Su Bai chose this place was that he was worried that the two courtyards on Zilaihuo East Road and Bishop Yao Road were not safe.

Although he regained his trust in Wan Qili, Su Bai was still cautious and did not take her to Haig Road.

Su Bai asked Xu Tianyi and Liu Yiyan to go to the pharmaceutical factory and Haige Road respectively. One went to ask Zi Yan if Bi Yuming had arrived, and the other went back to get the medicine. Wan Qili had just finished the operation in the morning. No matter what medicine Guangci Hospital gave her, she would be given penicillin when she returned home.

"Fortunately, the wound didn't rupture." Su Bai took off Wan Qili's hospital gown and checked it.

While Xu Tianyi and Liu Yizhong were not back, Wan Qili told Su Bai everything.

She officially joined the Military Control Commission last winter. Her father, Manager Wan, told her at home that the young lady of the Kong family was doing something remarkable and producing a new medicine of unknown name, which caught her attention.

She reported the matter to her immediate superior, the leader of the second action group of the Shanghai station. The leader was also very interested in the matter. Wan Qili had just joined the Military Control Commission, so she would not be allowed to participate in important tasks. She was mainly responsible for running errands, liaison and doing miscellaneous tasks in the action group. So this task was simply given to her, allowing her to lurk beside Su Bai and see if there was such a miraculous medicine as Manager Wan said.

In fact, it was not until Wan Qili arrived in Longxing that she learned about the miraculous effects of penicillin.

The leader of the second group of the Military Control Commission just wanted to gain merit with this incident and never thought of seizing Su Bai's penicillin.

After learning that Su Bai was going to buy the Fahua Pharmaceutical Factory in Shanghai, he secretly funded Su Bai.

The reason why Mr. Xu gave Su Bai a lower price when the pharmaceutical factory was officially sold was because the team leader gave him one thousand yuan in advance.

The team leader really wanted to help Su Bai deliver the medicine to the Department of Health, but he was too greedy for credit, and kept the matter a secret from other people in the Military Control Commission. The team leader helped to contact the official from the Executive Yuan, but this official introduced Su Bai to Wang Shuan. The team leader did not know that Wang Shuan was a Japanese spy.

Shortly after Wang Shuan met Su Bai, the team leader was killed at home. Although there was no evidence, Wan Qili suspected that it was done by Wang Shuan's men.

Luo Pinzhang is the deputy team leader of Group 2. He is another insider besides the team leader and Wan Qili.

At the beginning, although the team leader helped to contact the Executive Yuan official who collaborated with the enemy, it was Wan Qili who went to find him. Therefore, Luo Pinzhang judged that after the Japanese killed the team leader, they would look for Wan Qili next, so he asked her to leave Shanghai urgently.

Unexpectedly, Wan Qili had been targeted by the Japanese. On her way back to Longxing from Linhua, she found two people following her. As a last resort, Wan Qili ambushed the two people when she reached Xishankou, but unfortunately, she didn't leave a single one alive.

Wan Qili believed that the spies who followed him in Linhua were not those who had followed him all the way from Shanghai, but were undercover spies in Qingdao who were sent by the Japanese to do the job after they discovered his whereabouts.

They probably knew which ship I took to Qingdao, and then followed me all the way from Qingdao to Longxing.

At this point, Wan Qili reflected on herself and realized that she was still inexperienced. She thought everything would be fine once she left Shanghai. She didn't notice that no one was following her until she left Linhua and was about to enter Xishan.

These two spies definitely did not receive the order to kill Wan Qili, they were just ordered to follow Wan Qili.

Fortunately, we discovered it not too late. If they had followed us to Confucius' Mansion, we would have been in big trouble.

As for Luo Pinzhang coming to find Su Bai later and lying that he was asked by Bi Yuming, it was all Wan Qili's idea, because she was afraid that Su Bai would not believe him.

"That makes sense, but..." Su Bai sighed, "A misunderstanding caused a huge loss!"
