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

As soon as the gate opened, Wan Qili squeezed in, and the black Buick behind her didn't even turn off the engine.

"Hurry up, move all the gasoline to the trunk!" Wan Qili said to Xu Tianyi who was standing there stupidly.

She asked Su Bai to get in the car, and she and Zi Yan took the small suitcase containing batteries, some simple sundries and spare clothes into the car.

Wan Qili sat in the driver's seat and stepped on the accelerator within a second. Xu Tianyi, who was sitting next to her in the passenger seat, exclaimed: "The door wasn't closed yet, and I was almost thrown out! What happened?"

"We'll talk on the way!" Wan Qili drove out of the alley while asking everyone to pay attention to the car following behind.

Her words immediately made everyone, who were already nervous because of her impatience, even more nervous.

After leaving the alley and turning a corner, Su Bai realized that this was the Gordon Road Police Station in the International Settlement.

When they fled St. Peter's Basilica that night, they did not ask the officer who was driving where they were going.

Wan Qili arranged herself near the police station, which was a bit like being in the dark.

The car turned a few more corners in the International Settlement, and after making sure that no one was following it, it headed south into the French Concession.

It can be seen that Xu Tianyi and Zi Yan were surprised by this matter. Why would they come to the French Concession?

At this time, Su Bai realized that the reason why Wan Qili was in such a hurry to leave early was probably because there was a problem with the Military Control Commission.

The special investigation team has reached preliminary findings, which are not in its favor.

Perhaps, they have made the decision to control or monitor themselves.

Wan Qili walked around the International Settlement for a few times and then entered the French Concession, with the aim of shaking off the possible tracking of the Military Control Commission.

After all, the actions of the Military Control Commission in the concessions would be greatly restricted, and they would not be as unscrupulous as in the Chinese areas.

Although it turned several corners in the French Concession, the overall direction was always south.

Su Bai saw the chimney of the Fahua Pharmaceutical Factory not far away, and a sense of sadness and loss arose in his heart.

This is the southernmost tip of the French Concession.

After the car drove out of the French Concession and sped for a long distance, the speed finally slowed down due to the buildings, and the road conditions here no longer allowed Wan Qili to drive fast.

The dirt road is full of potholes, and the buildings on both sides of the road are becoming fewer, lower, and more dilapidated, and there are endless crops.

"Are we leaving Shanghai?" Zi Yan asked.

"not yet."

"Which direction are we going?" Su Bai, who was sitting in the back seat, couldn't even find the direction.

"We are heading south." said Xu Tianyi.

"It's southeast." Wan Qili pointed to a river not far ahead that was glowing white: "Huangpu River."

The Huangpu River turns a corner in southern Shanghai and becomes roughly east-west.

The car was driving not far from the north bank of the Huangpu River.

As the Huangpu River got closer, the road turned east.

Wan Qili stopped the car and said, "Let's change into our military uniforms."

In addition to her own military uniform, Wan Qili also prepared military uniforms for Su Bai and the other two in her car.

There were two sets of women's military uniforms, one with the rank of major, which Wan Qili asked Su Bai to wear, and the other with the rank of second lieutenant belonged to Zi Yan.

Xu Tianyi was wearing a lieutenant uniform. After putting it on, he immediately said to Wan Qili with a smile, "We have the same rank!"

Wan Qili choked him again: "Why are you talking so much nonsense?"

"I just think everyone is too nervous..." It turned out that Xu Tianyi was trying to ease the tense atmosphere with this boring topic.

Wan Qili ignored him and told the three that there was a Military Control Commission officer's ID card in the left pocket of each military uniform.

Wan Qili then turned around and said to Su Bai: "Sister, I didn't tell you the truth just now because I was worried that you would be scared. Now I can tell you."

"I guessed it. The Military Control Commission is going to take action against me." Su Bai was very calm.

"You probably didn't expect that they would issue an anti-traitor order against you."

what?

The three of them were stunned.

Su Bai thought that the Military Control Commission would do something bad to him and arrest him, but he never expected that they would directly issue an order to kill traitors.

This was another piece of information that Luo Pinzhang had found out.

Just this morning, the leader of the special investigation team found Station Master Zhou of the Shanghai Station, who came with an order to kill Su Bai.

The anti-espionage operation was handed over to the fourth action team.

As soon as Luo Pinzhang got the news, he told Wan Qili. When Wan Qili set out for the International Settlement to pick up Su Bai, the leader and members of the fourth group were discussing the action plan in the office of Stationmaster Zhou.

Station Chief Zhou was already dissatisfied with the special investigation team for ignoring and sidelining the Shanghai Station. When they came to him with the order to kill traitors, he actively cooperated on the surface, but his actions were slow and unhurried.

This gave Wan Qili just enough time to pick up Su Bai and escape early.

Luo Pinzhang also instructed Wan Qili that if they were intercepted, she must abandon Su Bai and escape, and try her best not to be caught together by the Military Control Commission.

He also asked Wan Qili to tell Su Bai that if encountering such a situation, he should never resist and just surrender, and his life would not be in danger.

Because this special order to kill traitors has a condition, that is, it will only take effect when there is resistance or escape, and try to capture them alive.

Su Bai hid in the International Settlement, and Wan Qili was worried that someone was following her and was afraid that someone would inform on her.

This house was borrowed by Wan Qili from a colleague in the Military Control Commission. Although the two had a good relationship, under such circumstances, Wan Qili did not dare to take the risk of trusting anyone.

Perhaps this is the occupational disease of spies.

If this person informed on someone in order to gain merit, even though the Fourth Action Team had not yet discussed the action plan with Stationmaster Zhou, the Special Investigation Team still had the cooperation of the police station. They could have blocked the main intersections before the Fourth Team took action, and they could have directly entered the International Settlement in plain clothes to monitor and track them.

When Su Bai learned that the colleague who lent the house to Wan Qili did not know that it was for the female scientist Lan Jieru who was suspected of being a traitor, and did not know the relationship between Wan Qili and Lan Jieru, Su Bai almost laughed out loud.

Isn’t this too... too cautious?

Wan Qili told Su Bai that any carelessness could lead to irreversible consequences.

"The fourth action team hasn't taken action yet. How did Luo Pinzhang know about the order to kill traitors?" Wan Qili asked Su Bai and then said, "We have a way to know other people's affairs, and others can do the same."

She said that in the Military Control Commission, everything was kept confidential, but nothing could be kept secret.

"Sister," Wan Qili brought up the previous incident again: "You have been regretting sending Analgin to the Department of Health instead of penicillin, right?"

Su Bai sighed: "Yeah, if it weren't for my cleverness, how could we be in this situation now, and why would so many people die later?"

"I also have some complaints about this matter," Wan Qili changed the subject: "But, I never think that you did anything wrong in this matter!"

Su Bai smiled bitterly.

Wan Qili clapped her hands and said, "Let's cheer up. There is a ferry not far ahead. As long as we cross the river, no one will be able to catch up with us!"
