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

Su Bai told Xu Tianyi that he didn't need to bother the people from the Fifth Rescue Team to arrange new accommodation for Wan Qili. He just wanted Wan Qili to squeeze into the same room with him and asked Xu Tianyi to help set up a bed.

Xu Tianyi cursed himself while making his bed. When the incident happened in the middle of the night yesterday, he was not awakened until he heard gunshots downstairs. He knew he had been drugged, and he blamed himself for sleeping too soundly. It took time to blow the drug in through the crack in the door, and he didn't even notice there was someone outside the door.

"This is not your fault. I think the person in charge of reception in the Fifth Rescue Team bears the greatest responsibility. He let the other person in easily and even let him go up to the second floor."

Su Bai suddenly had a suspicion as he spoke, and immediately asked Xu Tianyi: "Besides you and me, who else was drugged?"

Xu Tianyi shook his head and immediately thought of the same thing as Su Bai: "You mean... there are Japanese spies here too?"

It is almost an undoubted reality.

There are many people living on the second floor of the church. Su Bai and Xu Tianyi had just moved from St. Mary's to St. Peter's Basilica. Even the people in the Fifth Rescue Team might not know which room on the second floor Su Bai lives in. If there was no insider, how could the Japanese spies find Su Bai's room and the room of Xu Tianyi, who was responsible for protecting him, so accurately?

The infiltration of spies was so terrifying that Su Bai felt that he had never left their sight.

"Didn't Captain Yang say it would take at most fifteen days? It's good that Miss Wan is back. Don't let her run around in the future. This will be foolproof!" Xu Tianyi was very confident, because he trusted Wan Qili's abilities.

"I hope so," Su Bai sighed and asked Xu Tianyi to move the radio out from under the bed. He made an appointment with the two young ladies of the Kong family to contact each other every day. According to Wan Qili, Liu Yimian and the other two boarded the long-distance bus smoothly. If nothing unexpected happened along the way, they should have returned to Longxing two or three days ago.

与孔曼和孔云约好的通报时间是上午9到10点和晚上11点到12点两个时间段，一直等到晚上11点，万绮丽也没有回来。

Kong Man sent a confirmation message very punctually just after 11 o'clock to try whether Su Bai had turned on the radio. After Su Bai replied to the telegram, he immediately learned from Kong Man's message that Liu Yiyan had indeed returned to Longxing to recuperate in the mountains.

Everything was normal in Longxing and nothing major happened. Tietou just found Kong Man and asked her to tell Su Bai not to forget 20 when she called him again.

Kong Man didn't know what the number that Liu Yiyan asked Tietou to convey meant. Su Bai told her that he would try to return to Longxing around the 20th.

The reason he said this was that he wanted to pass this news to Tietou through Kong Man, so that at least Liu could be reassured temporarily. Now it seems that, let alone not having any plans to return to Longxing, even if he wanted to return, it would be unlikely around the 20th.

Su Bai had already made plans for the people in the Li Mansion behind the Kong Mansion and the equipment on the mountains and hills. He just needed to let Xu Tianyi go back, and then ask Zhou Beiwang to help transport the people and equipment out of Longxing.

But if I do this, I feel a little sorry for Zhou Beiwang. Although he didn't force me with bluffs and threats like Liu Yiyan did, he was also eagerly looking forward to my return.

If he was not a soldier, maybe I would have thought of taking him to Chongqing as well. Unfortunately, it was just an if.

Kong Man was very happy to learn that Su Bai would return to Longxing around the 20th. He sent telegrams several times to ask whether it was true. Su Bai simply replied: Don't worry, I won't abandon you.

Indeed, Su Bai had this plan in place. When moving Niu Yanzi, Xiao Wei and other people and equipment from Li's Mansion, he also wanted to take Kong Man and Kong Yun away with them.

It was almost 1 o'clock when Wan Qili came back after finishing the telegram with Kong Man.

Su Bai keenly noticed from Wan Qili's taciturnity and slightly lost expression that her contact with Luo Pinzhang this time was not going smoothly. Her disappointment was exactly what Su Bai had become accustomed to. There was basically no hope on this road.

At least, Wan Qili felt that their Military Control Commission could no longer compete with the military police in terms of time.

It was not until the next morning that Wan Qili told Su Bai the truth that Stationmaster Zhou would not be back from Wuhan until three days later. The reason for her disappointment was not because of the three days, but because Yang Rufeng was right. Stationmaster Zhou did not seem to care much about the penicillin issue.

This was the truth that Luo Pinzhang finally told her after repeated questioning. He did indeed contact Stationmaster Zhou, but Stationmaster Zhou did not take it seriously. He neither showed any concern nor objected to Luo Pinzhang continuing to do this. He just said in a very official manner: "Contact us again."

He used the term "contact" instead of "report", which clearly showed that he did not take it seriously.

Su Bai began to comfort Wan Qili instead. Judging from the efficiency of the Military Control Commission in handling this matter before, it would probably be difficult to accomplish this matter in a month, let alone half a month. It would be better to just wait for news from the military police and Vice President Zhang.

According to the people from the Fifth Rescue Team, Vice President Zhang went out before daybreak. Obviously, the old man tried his best to accomplish the task before the military police.

Wan Qili said that if there is any problem in the future, Luo Pinzhang will send someone to find her. Unless there are special circumstances, she will not leave Su Bai until the matter with Yang Rufeng is settled.

Another long wait began, and in the blink of an eye, September 9th arrived. This was the ultimatum given to Su Bai by the Japanese officer, asking her to meet at the Fahua Pharmaceutical Factory that day, otherwise he would use the photo to make trouble.

Su Bai found it ridiculous. He was facing threats from two sides at the same time. One side was Liu Yiyan, who gave him a deadline of 20 days. In Su Bai's opinion, Liu Yiyan's threat was weak and powerless. What could he do if he didn't go back? The worst that could happen was that he would come to Shanghai to harass him again, but by then, he might not even be able to see him.

The Japs carefully designed a photo of himself signing in the company of a Japanese military officer, thinking that this was a handle to prove that he was collaborating with the enemy. However, he had already told Yang Rufeng everything about the matter. After he explained the whole story clearly, the photo in the hands of the Japanese was completely useless.

Therefore, Su Bai didn't take today's visit to the Fahua Pharmaceutical Factory seriously at all.

Vice President Zhang has been busy with the Health Bureau's affairs, leaving home early and returning late these days, and has almost never met Su Bai.

During lunch, he finally came to Su Bai's room and told Su Bai the latest progress on penicillin. The medical records and clinical certificates had been handed over to a section chief in the Health Bureau and would probably be submitted to the director for review and approval within three or two days.

"From the current situation, the people in the Health Bureau attach great importance to our affairs. As long as the Health Bureau comes up with a preliminary opinion and reports it to the Ministry of Health, it will be approved soon." While saying this, Vice President Zhang did not forget to speak ill of the military police. They are good at bragging but not at doing things.

"I also think that Vice President Zhang is more reliable." Su Bai said something against her will to praise Vice President Zhang. She felt that things were not as simple as he said. Even if the bureaucrats of the Health Bureau reached a consensus and submitted the report to the Department of Health, could the Department of Health directly help them build a pharmaceutical factory?

The cost of building a pharmaceutical factory is not a small amount, so shouldn't we report it to the Executive Yuan and get the funds approved?

Not to mention that he had deceived the Department of Health once by using Analgin to impersonate penicillin. Would that vengeful director allow him to get the approval so easily?

Su Bai felt that, in comparison, Yang Rufeng had more hope. However, four days had passed since he last met Yang Rufeng in that tent, and there was no news at all.

Could it be true, as Vice President Zhang said, that they only know how to brag but do nothing?

Unexpectedly, Wan Qili spoke up for Yang Rufeng at this time. She thought that Yang Rufeng was a reliable person. There was no news from him for several days, so something must have happened.

Something happened again?

Nothing can happen again. Su Bai feels that he can't stand it any longer.
