Dreaming back to 1949, the great powers were there to deceive us

At the Shanghai Station, Wang Yu hung up the phone with a murderous look on his face.

He looked up at the ceiling without saying a word!

Is Hu Zhenhua extremely shameless?

This is very likely. It’s a cat, and there is no cat that doesn’t eat fish!

And An Lan, if she was molested, why did she still stay in Chinachem?

There must be something wrong with these two people!

Wang Yu suddenly remembered that when the Demon Zone was listed that day, he was given a straw hat woven with cinnamon branches. He suddenly had an urge to vomit blood.

Wang Yu grabbed the water cup on the table and smashed it to pieces!

Qi Shuhuan walked in, placed a telegram in front of Wang Yu, and said in a low voice,

"The Telecommunications Department intercepted a secret message. The farmer ordered 'Sickle' to 'exterminate pests'!"

"farmer?"

Wang Yu grabbed the telegram and read it carefully.

The farmer's level is very high. If we have to compare him with someone, he is at least at the same level as Wang Yu.

Qi Shuhuan said as he cleaned up the broken pieces of the water cup.

"Right now, we don't know who 'Bug' is. I just looked through the recent arrest list and traitors, but I didn't find any heavyweights. According to the CCP's custom, they won't explain the entire order in a single telegram, so there must be further instructions!"

After reading the telegram carefully several times, Wang Yu raised his head and looked at the ceiling.

"Order the Telecommunications Department to monitor 24 hours a day. Do not miss any suspicious signals!"

"Yes!"

As soon as Wang Yu got into work mode, he put the "green straw hat" incident behind him!

"Sickle? This code name is unfamiliar. He must be a newcomer!"

……

At 5 o'clock on May 4, Wang Yu, who had not slept all night, suddenly received a report that Hu Zhenhua had breakfast poisoning and was being rushed to the hospital.

This news made the old spy both excited and worried.

What’s exciting is that the guy who gave me the straw hat was punished by God.

Unfortunately, the mediation between Hu Zhenhua and Carter has not yet yielded any results.

After Wang Yu pondered for a moment, he shouted,

"Go to the hospital!"

No matter what hatred or grudges the two sides have, they should at least put in some superficial effort.

When Wang Yu arrived, the doctor was examining Hu Zhenhua.

He pulled An Lan aside and asked,

"what's the situation?"

"We were having breakfast when Zhenhua suddenly became itchy all over. The rash spread at a visible speed, and then he started vomiting, having diarrhea, and even developing a fever!"

"What did he eat?"

"Nothing much, just steamed buns, fried dough sticks, porridge and other things!"

"No, you guys aren't poisoned, only he is. He must have eaten something special!"

An Lan lowered his head and thought for a while, then said,

"He ate a few pieces of fried taro, which was so greasy that we didn't eat it!"

Wang Yu immediately called over a secret agent and ordered,

"Quick, bring breakfast for testing!"

Lan Shian on the side immediately followed up and said,

"Director Wang, please don't bother with this matter. All the food is already in the hospital's laboratory, and our brothers are watching over it. The entire Chinachem Hotel has been sealed off. Once we find the murderer, we will definitely treat him well!"

Lan Shian's eyes made Wang Yu very unhappy.

If anyone else dares to look at him like that, they will never see the sun again.

But Lan Shian is different, he is an American citizen.

The old spy knew very well that Lan Shi'an suspected that this was done by the Bureau of Investigation and Statistics, and he himself did have this motive.

Wang Yu's blood pressure soared again.

This incident proves that there is definitely something wrong between that little bastard Hu Zhenhua and An Lan!

Wang Yu snorted coldly and looked at Hu Zhenhua lying on the hospital bed. The doctor was putting an oxygen tube on him.

There were no oxygen masks in this era, just a leather tube inserted into the nostrils.

Wang Yu felt a little regretful. It is said that good people do not live long and disasters last for thousands of years. This is true!

The old spy pulled An Lan aside, and soon, a fierce argument broke out between the two of them.

Wang Yu took the impact into consideration and chose to back off.

Half an hour later, the food test results came out, and calla lilies were found in the taro that Hu Zhenhua had eaten.

The root of the calla lily is similar to taro, so it is often mistakenly eaten. It is very toxic, and the calcium oxalate it contains forms needle-shaped crystals that can irritate the skin and cause itching, even edema, and in severe cases, even induce suffocation and death.

Lan Shian's investigation into Chinachem yielded no results.

No one is a suspect, yet everyone seems to be a suspect.

The confusing result made Wang Yu frown.

Is it really a coincidence?

Once this thought came into his mind, it lingered in his mind.

Wang Yu shook his head and said, "Who cares? Lan Shian wouldn't allow me to interfere anyway, so you can do whatever you want."

The Secret Service is idle.

Wang Yu was in a daze when Qi Shuhuan came and gave him a look.

Wang Yu understood and immediately walked to the corridor entrance.

"Director, we can now confirm that someone is indeed trying to assassinate Hu Zhenhua."

Wang Yu was shocked, grabbed Secretary Qi's arm, and asked anxiously,

"What's going on? Have you found any clues?"

Qi Shuhuan lowered his voice and whispered in Wang Yu's ear,

"Just now, the doctor confirmed that the oxygen tank Hu Zhenhua was using was filled with pure oxygen. The assassin's plan was meticulous, first using calla lilies to cause poisoning. If that didn't work, he would proceed to the hospital. But there was a slip-up. The serial number and other details on the oxygen tank were correct and aged, but the paint over the serial number hadn't dried completely. Hu Zhenhua had a security guard named Guo Baokun, nicknamed Roaring Sky Dog. Everyone called him Gouzi. He had a keen nose and noticed something was wrong! If it weren't for this person, Zhenhua would have died in his sleep!"

Wang Yu covered his chest, a thin layer of cold sweat appeared on his forehead.

"It's really killing people without being seen!"

What if this trick was used on myself?

Lao Wang shuddered.

Oxygen enters the lungs through human breathing and then passes through a thin membrane called the alveoli into the bloodstream. It binds to hemoglobin in red blood cells. Hemoglobin acts like a train, transporting oxygen along the bloodstream's circulatory system to various tissues throughout the body.

But this does not mean that the higher the oxygen purity, the better.

When the human body exhales, the carbon dioxide in the air will stimulate the respiratory central nervous system and maintain regular breathing. If it is pure oxygen, without the stimulation of carbon dioxide on the respiratory center, it may cause paralysis of the respiratory center. The respiratory central nervous system cannot feel the stimulation, and the respiratory movement cannot be stimulated. The person's breathing will stop, thus endangering life.

Therefore, whether it is diving or mountaineering oxygen tanks, they will not be pure oxygen!

Qi Shuhuan lowered his voice and whispered,

"Director, such a sophisticated method is definitely not the work of an ordinary killer. Director, is it possible that Zhenhua is the 'bug'?"

A fierce murderous intent suddenly flashed in Wang Yu's eyes.

"Xiao Qi, why do you think the CCP wants to kill Zhenhua? They've been buying a lot of good stuff from the industrial zone lately! There should be a tacit understanding between the two sides!"

Qi Shuhuan looked around to make sure no one was eavesdropping before continuing.

"Ten minutes ago, Assistant Wang called and told me that a communist was arrested at the Magic City Station. He explained that the underground party is investigating who is systematically encouraging the people to stockpile raw materials. They suspect it's the TA Company. According to this TA, the company is plundering the people's wealth!"

Wang Yu suddenly laughed.

"That makes sense. If Zhenhua really did this, it's probably more than just plundering people's wealth. He might even be taking away the raw materials people paid for in full at a 50% discount! This bastard is truly ruthless!"

Wang Yu was quite emotional.

"This way, the raw materials needed for industrial production will be available!"

What a character.

If he hadn't been with An Lan...

After thinking for a moment, Wang Yu asked,

"Xiao Qi, have you heard any rumors about Zhenhua and Anlan?"

"Director, Han Xue never mentioned this to me. I think it's just a rumor. Zhenhua is always busy running around and rarely comes home. Besides, when Zhenhua returns to Chinachem, isn't Wang Cuicui there too?"

Qi Shuhuan only dared to touch upon this topic briefly.

Wang Yu nodded.

The bureau has records of Hu Zhenhua's movements. Logically speaking, they shouldn't have time to get together, right?

Wang Yu sighed. Was he really overthinking it?

No wonder An Lan reacted so violently just now, and even said that he was putting the blame on his own head!

Wang Yu calmed down and shouted,

"Let's go and see who's so audacious as to swap the oxygen tanks!"

Qi Shuhuan grabbed Wang Yu,

"Director, it's better for us not to interfere in this matter. Lan Shian doesn't trust anyone, and if things get out of hand, it will be embarrassing for everyone!"

Wang Yuhu glared and shouted,

"Lan Shian is just a small security captain. Does he have the power to enforce the law?"

As he spoke, Wang Yulong walked away with the stride of a tiger.

As he walked into the ward, he saw an unexpected yet expected figure: Carter.

Wang Yu forced a smile and wanted to shake hands with Carter.

"Hello, Mr. Consul!"

Carter snorted coldly, and out of diplomatic courtesy, he simply shook hands with him, but said nothing.

Hu Zhenhua has woken up, looking sick and pale, with no trace of blood on his face.

Wang Yu sat on the bed and held Lao Hu's hand.

"Zhenhua, you've been wronged. I will organize a team of capable personnel to solve this case within a specified timeframe and bring the murderer to justice!"

Old Hu nodded slightly.

"Thank you!"

Carter glanced at Wang Yu and said lightly,

"Director Wang, Lan Shi'an is already investigating. I think the Bureau of Secrets doesn't need to get involved in this matter!"

"When it comes to solving cases and arresting people, the Secret Service is the real professional!"

Carter scoffed.

"I fully believe that in addition to solving cases and arresting people, you are also professionals in killing people!"

He was referring to the Anthony shooting.

Wang Yu looked at him with a forced smile and replied,

"Thank you for the compliment, Mr. Consul. We are staunch anti-communist fighters and will not compromise! However, we still need to learn from our allies how to have the best of both worlds!"

Carter had a professional smile on his face, a diplomat.

"It's not like we're having the best of both worlds. That boat on the left is about to capsize! It's a shame that even with all the aid our country has given us, it wouldn't make a fuss even if it were just thrown into the water!"

Hu Zhenhua watched them bickering with a smile.

Diplomats are really good at talking.

Lao Hu thought weakly that Carter still didn't understand the profoundness of the Chinese language. The meaning of his words could be summed up in six words: You can't plaster a wall with mud!

Wang Yu immediately retorted,

"If you lend money to them, not only will you not get any response, you'll also be aiding the enemy!"

“You won’t know whether you can hear the sound until you try it!”

Hu Zhenhua was listening with great interest when Wang Yu suddenly pinched him.

The meaning is clear: speak up for me.

Hu Zhenhua coughed twice and said with a smile,

"The road ahead is bumpy. Whether it will be a smooth road or full of thorns is unpredictable. The director has his reasons, and the consul has his demands. Both sides should take a step back, Mr. Carter. Let the past be the past. Let's not dwell on it. We should all look forward to the future."

Old Hu's gaze lingered on Wang Yu's face again.

"Director, since military strikes won't work, why not try economic and monetary measures? What do you think?"

After saying this, Hu Zhenhua looked at his nose with his eyes and his heart with his nose, his eyelids drooping.

Anyway, I'm a patient, so it's reasonable for me to feel listless.

Wang Yu was extremely unhappy.

He didn't want to give in, but what could he do? He couldn't control Carter.

Wang Yu just sat there quietly, refusing to express his opinion.

Carter naturally refused to give in. He looked at Hu Zhenhua and said calmly,

"Hu, I suggest you move to the consulate. It's too dangerous to stay in the hospital. People's hearts are distorted. Some people may be friendly to you on the surface, but they might kill you in secret!"

Hearing this, Wang Yu stared at Carter angrily and shouted,

"Mr. Consul, please stop making insinuations!"

"Director Wang, there's an old Chinese saying: 'The thief cries thief!' If Hu dies of poisoning, the industrial zone will be a failure, and the loan will be lost! You're highly suspicious!"

"fart!"

Hu Zhenhua waved his hand.

"Please be patient, both of you. I've offended so many people that it's hard to say who did this. But I believe it definitely wasn't the director. The loan has already been issued, and the matter is settled. Killing me or not won't stop it!"

Wang Yu was shocked and shouted,

"The loan was issued? When did it happen?"

Hu Zhenhua shook his head.

"I don't know, I only know that the loan was issued!"

Carter, who was enjoying the fun, teased,

"Is it possible that someone was so angry because the loan was issued that he killed someone?"

"fart!"

Carter's face fell and he shouted,

"Director Wang, please watch your words!"

Wang Yu just slammed the table and shouted,

"Anthony is in a coma. Who is qualified to approve this loan?"

Carter immediately said coldly,

"Anthony survived a disaster, and as soon as he regained consciousness, he immediately approved the loan!"

Wang Yu suddenly lost control and yelled,

"You are aiding the enemy!"

Carter retorted,

"We'd like to support our allies, but where does that aid go? It just ends up in the pockets of corrupt officials! If you don't act, who can you blame?"

Hu Zhenhua immediately spoke up for Wang Yu.

"Carter, we're all on the same side, so let's talk it out. As the saying goes: shame breeds courage! In this battle for the Magic City, I believe the Nationalist Army will definitely perform exceptionally well, right, Chief?"

Wang Yu's face was as black as the bottom of a pot, and he said angrily,

"Mr. Consul, if you understand the Chu-Han War, you'll understand one thing: you can fail many times, but you must win the last time! Just wait and see what happens in the Battle of the Demon City!"

Hu Zhenhua laughed and said,

"Carter, the authorities have actually made many changes. Look at the business environment in the Magic Development Zone; it's improved dramatically. Everyone makes mistakes, but as long as they're willing to change, they're not hopeless!"

Hu Zhenhua paused and continued,

"Anthony has been seriously injured and is clearly unable to perform his duties. I suggest that we provide him with a pension and allow him to return to the United States to recuperate. What do you think, Carter?"

At this moment, Anthony was lying on the couch basking in the sun.

He was indeed injured, but only superficially.

Hu Zhenhua dismissed Anthony from his post to give Wang Yu an excuse to get away with it.

Carter stared at Wang Yu and asked coldly,

"Who will pay for this pension?"

It was obvious that he wanted Wang Yu to leave.

Hu Zhenhua quickly tried to smooth things over and said,

"Anthony was injured in the line of duty. I'll pay for it, I'll pay for it!"

"Humph!"

Hu Zhenhua looked at them cheerfully and said with a smile,

"I still say the same thing, let the past be the past!"

After saying that, Hu Zhenhua saw that the two of them were still fighting like cocks, so he simply closed his eyes, obviously not intending to care anymore.

Wang Yu understood that this was the last step. He took a deep breath and said,

"Just because Anthony escaped death, I respect him as a man. Zhenhua, I'll buy him a gift later and you can send someone to give it to him."

Hu Zhenhua then opened his eyes and nodded slightly.

The old spy's statement clearly showed a compromise.

In fact, what can you do if you don’t compromise!

Carter's mouth curled up slightly and he said,

"Thank you Director Wang for your concern. I thank you on Anthony's behalf!"

Carter's statement was quite implicit, indicating that he had also compromised.

The loan scandal came to an end in this small ward.
