As the sun set, Chen Yuzhi had another busy day. He stretched his muscles and hung up the closed sign, turned off the lights, and prepared to lock the door and go home.
Behind him, a car drove up, and a middle-aged man in a gray gown got off, and said to him respectfully, "Doctor Chen, I am the housekeeper of Captain Liu's family of the City Defense Department. My wife has chest tightness and a severe headache these days. , I want to invite you to visit the doctor."
Chen Yuzhi saw that the street lights had already been turned on, and he hesitated a little: "It's getting late now, I'm afraid it's not right for me to visit Madam to see a doctor. You can see if it's changed to daytime tomorrow, or I'll wait in the hospital. You send your wife here, is it safe?"
"The kindness of the doctor, Dr. Chen, your worries are not a problem. Captain Liu personally ordered you to go. The villain is just following the rules, so please move, don't embarrass the little one." The housekeeper begged while bowing .
When Chen Yuzhi saw that he moved out of Captain Liu, he knew that he had to go if he didn't go today. After thinking about it for a while, he agreed and went back to the medical hall to get the medicine box.
However, after experiencing the previous incidents, he kept an eye out, tore off a case paper, wrote the words "Chengfang Liu", and pressed it under a medical book, revealing a corner. If there is anything wrong with him, Jiang Yuelou can also find out this tiny clue.
When we arrived at Captain Liu's house, Mrs. Liu was lying sickly on the imperial concubine's couch, wrapped in a mink fur, her brows were tightly frowned, and her complexion was not very good. But when she heard that Dr. Chen had arrived, she hurriedly sat up with the girl's support.
After a brief exchange of greetings, Chen Yuzhi began to see the doctor. He first observed Mrs. Liu's face, and then put his fingers on her slender wrist to feel the pulse carefully.
After a while, he withdrew his hand, feeling a little puzzled in his heart, and did not tell Mrs. Liu's situation for a long time.
Mrs. Liu thought he was timid, so she sighed and said, "I know my body well, Doctor Chen, don't be shy."
"My wife is worrying too much. Your condition is not serious, but it's just a little strange. You often have shortness of breath, especially at night?"
The girl next to her quickly replied: "Yes, my wife often wakes up in the middle of the night and has to go out for a walk before falling asleep..."
"I still have severe night sweats, can't sleep at night, have many dreams?" Chen Yuzhi asked again.
"That's right, that's it. Dr. Chen, what's wrong with Madam?"
Chen Yuzhi didn't dare to judge lightly, so he decided to observe again. He made an appointment with Mrs. Liu to listen to the heartbeat with a stethoscope tomorrow before making a conclusion.
When he was leaving, he ran into Captain Liu who was drunk. He heard that he was a doctor who was treating his wife, so he staggered over, grabbed him, and asked with a smile, "How is my wife..."
However, before Captain Liu finished speaking, he felt nauseated, rushed to the side and vomited.
Chen Yuzhi frowned and looked over, feeling something was wrong. At the moment Captain Liu spoke just now, he seemed to smell something unusual.
In order to confirm what he thought in his heart, he was not in a hurry to leave, and he took the initiative to go up to the butler and said, "If I give you acupuncture on the temple twice, it will make you feel better. When you wake up tomorrow, the headache will also be relieved."
This tossing took another hour, and finally returned to the front of the house. After thinking about it, he still walked towards Jiang Yuelou's house. However, he knocked several times, but no one answered.
He is working overtime at the police station again! Chen Yuzhi sighed, turned and went home.
Not long after, Jiang Yuelou came back exhausted. When passing by the door of Chen Yu's house, he noticed that the pot of cactus that had been agreed before was placed on the flower stand at the door.
He stopped walking, turned around and walked towards the door of Chen Yu's house.
At this time, Chen Yuzhi hadn't rested yet, and was sitting at the table, staring at the hair in the handkerchief on the table in a daze, when he heard the knock on the door, he hurriedly picked up the handkerchief and rushed to open the door.
Outside the door, Jiang Yuelou asked him sleepily, "Are you looking for me?"
Chen Yuzhi nodded but did not speak, with a very solemn expression, he carefully opened the handkerchief and handed it to him.
"Shave your hair and want to become a monk?" Jiang Yuelou went in without knowing it, joking while looking at the hair in the handkerchief.
As soon as he finished his words, he suddenly noticed something strange, quickly took the handkerchief under his nose and sniffed it carefully, his expression changed immediately.
"opium?"
Chen Yuzhi nodded with a heavy expression: "I wasn't sure at first, I just suspected it. But your expression told me that I guessed it right."
There were no pedestrians in the quiet alley, but Jiang Yuelou still looked around and pulled Chen Yuzhi into his house.
The two sat at the front of the table, and the light shrouded their bodies, dragging two long black shadows on the ground.
On the table were the handkerchief and the hair in the handkerchief.
"Don't miss any details, talk about it carefully." Jiang Yuelou looked at Chen Yuzhi seriously.
"When we were about to close at night, someone from Liu Qingfeng's family from the City Defense Department came and said Captain Liu's wife was not feeling well, and invited me to see a doctor. I was worried that it was a fraud, but I couldn't evade it, so I left a message in Yu Zhitang. Now it seems that I was overthinking."
"It's always good to be cautious, and it's better to be on the lookout for everyone than to be in trouble."
Chen Yuzhi nodded and continued to narrate: "When he finished seeing his wife and was about to leave, Captain Liu happened to come back. He had a drink, and there was a strong smell of smoke on his body, similar to the smell of opium in Shengdetang Something like it, but I'm not sure."
"So, you brought these back and asked me to confirm? This is too risky." Jiang Yuelou tapped his fingers on the table twice, disapproving of his behavior.
"This is the only chance. The smell of smoke is most likely to adhere to the clothes and hair, but as long as you wash your hands, the smell will dissipate. If you don't just bump into it, and you have this moment to smell it, I don't think he can smell it." It will come into your sight and become the target of suspicion."
At that time, Captain Liu was leaning on the chair and was about to fall asleep. Chen Yuzhi took a silver needle and pricked the acupuncture points on his head to relieve his drunkenness. When pulling out the needle, he deliberately pulled out the needle and his hair.
Jiang Yuelou shook his head after hearing his words: "Maybe not before, but something happened today." He took out a wrapping paper from his pocket and put it next to the handkerchief, "Look at this."
Chen Yuzhi picked up the wrapping paper and examined it carefully, "It's the wrapping paper of western soap, which is loved by many fashionable women. What's wrong?"
Jiang Yuelou's face changed slightly, and he told Chen Yuzhi about its origin.
At the end of overtime work at night, Jiang Yuelou received a report from Sun Yongren, saying that opium was found in an old factory outside the city. The old factory looked like a warehouse. As soon as the police arrived, the people in the factory tried to escape and resist. In the chaos, two people were killed and two were arrested. It's a pity that those two committed suicide by biting their tongues in less than three minutes.
They found a total of 200 kilograms of opium. This was the first time that Jingcheng discovered such a large amount of opium after Lucas' death, which attracted great attention. Apparently, although they had destroyed the Hong Kong transit point, the opium dealers had other shipping routes.
When Jiang Yuelou arrived at the factory, the factory was in a mess, the machines had stopped working, and colorful wrapping paper was scattered on the ground. There was a pile of inconspicuous boxes in the corner, and when one was opened, it was full of opium.
He walked over to pick up a bag and looked at it carefully, then picked up a little bit with his hands, rubbed it, put it under his nose and smelled it, and confirmed that it was a batch of Nanyang goods.
There is an old abandoned wharf near this old factory, where opium dealers can dock briefly before entering the city, unload their goods here, and then find a way to transport them into the city. The focus of their inspection department's inspections has always been on the customs, and they often neglected the city defense department.
In this way, there must be traitors in the city defense department, and through the operation of traitors, opium will be sent to the city, and then sold by Jinmatang.
After listening to Jiang Yuelou's narration, Chen Yuzhi's face became more serious.
"You're going to Liu's house again tomorrow, aren't you?" Jiang Yuelou asked suddenly.
He was at a loss for a moment, then nodded, indicating that he was going to follow up for a follow-up visit.
"Let's go together." Jiang Yuelou's tone was not asking for opinions, but had already decided.
Regardless of Chen Yuzhi's stunned expression, he got up, paced around the table, and analyzed as he walked: "Judging from tonight's discovery, there should be spies in the City Defense Department. They avoided the inspection department's sight and unloaded the opium outside the city." The abandoned wharf, and then transported by land, packed the opium into soap and sent it to the city for sale. And Liu Qingfeng is the breakthrough."
Chen Yuzhi also understood the importance of the matter, and immediately agreed: "Okay, I will help you."
"Second cooperation?" Jiang Yuelou turned to look at him and held out his hand.
Chen Yuzhi laughed and patted his hand. The hatred for opium flashed in their eyes at the same time.
The light shrouded Jingcheng, the sun rose inch by inch, and the quiet city became noisy and lively.
On the second floor of Yuzhitang, Chen Yuzhi stood in front of the hospital bed holding a mirror, showing Jiang Yuelou his attire.
At this time, Jiang Yuelou was wearing a short-haired wig, wearing women's clothing, and simple makeup on his face, which was in great contrast to the past. At a glance, as long as it is an unfamiliar person, it is difficult to recognize his true identity at a glance.
He felt a little helpless about Chen Yuzhi's disguise, grabbed the wig, frowned and said, "It's uncomfortable."
"But it's safe." Chen Yuzhi put down the mirror, took two steps back, and looked at him carefully: "Actually, it's not bad for you to dress up like this."
In the next second, Jiang Yuelou rolled his eyes, and he said angrily, "I don't think this is a compliment, let's go."
Chen Yuzhi was still worried about today's actions: "Are you sure Captain Liu is not at home today? He is no stranger to you, just in case..."
He was interrupted by Jiang Yuelou before he finished speaking: "He is on duty today. At this time, he should be on guard at the West Gate and patrolling, and he can't come back."
"That's good. Remember, you are Chen Tongyin, and it's me..."
"It's your cousin from afar, who recently defected to you to be your assistant."
Knowing that he was reluctant, Chen Yuzhi reminded with a smile: "An assistant will not walk in front of a doctor."
Jiang Yuelou had already reached the stairs and was about to go down. Hearing this, he stopped, stepped aside, and made a gesture of please.
Inexplicably, Chen Yuzhi felt that his aggrieved appearance was cute, so he smiled slightly and walked forward.
Downstairs, the housekeeper of the Liu family was already waiting at the door, and Jiang Yuelou quickly picked up the medicine box and got into the car right after Chen Yuzhi.
In the car, he was holding the medicine box in a regular manner all the time. He restrained his previous strong aura and lowered his head, looking very shy.
The housekeeper didn't care about Chen Yuzhi's assistant, and remembered Captain Liu's order, and said to him, "By the way, Doctor Chen, after the acupuncture yesterday, the master feels much better. I'll show it to my wife today, and please do acupuncture again."
A trace of surprise flashed in Chen Yuzhi's eyes, but he restrained himself quickly, and said with a smile, "Okay. It's just that Captain Liu has a lot of things to do every day, and he is very busy. I don't know if the time is feasible. It will take about half an hour to treat my wife today. an hour."
"The master is on vacation today, and he will be at home all day, so time is not a problem."
As soon as these words came out, Jiang Yuelou's expression changed slightly, he raised his head to look at the butler, then turned his head to wink at Chen Yuzhi.
Chen Yuzhi reluctantly responded with a smile: "This is the best."
The car was quiet again, but Jiang Yuelou and Chen Yuzhi's hearts became anxious.
When he arrived at Liu's house, Chen Yuzhi walked into the living room and saw Mrs. Liu sitting on the sofa with her eyes closed and resting, her condition was much better than last night.
He led Jiang Yuelou to say hello to Mrs. Liu, and heard the butler say to him respectfully: "Doctor Chen, please show your wife first, and I will inform the master right away."
Chen Yuzhi glanced at Jiang Yuelou, anxiety flashed between his brows and eyes. Jiang Yuelou shook his head slightly, motioning him to hold on.
At this time, Mrs. Liu had already started chatting with a smile: "Doctor Chen, I took the medicine you prescribed last night and slept until dawn for the first time ever."
Chen Yuzhi cheered up immediately, and smiled modestly: "It's the doctor's duty to relieve patients' worries." He motioned Jiang Yuelou to open the medicine box, and said, "Stethoscope." Jiang Yuelou took out the stethoscope neatly , hands in front of him.
He was about to step forward with a stethoscope, but he stopped in his tracks, with a slightly embarrassed look on his face: "Mrs. Liu, although doctors have no protection against men and women, this stethoscope is different after all. Otherwise, please move to another place, through the screen, Assisted by your maid, okay?"
Madam Liu naturally had nothing to disagree with. She moved to the East Wing and sat on both sides of the screen with Chen Yuzhi. Her girl held one end of the stethoscope and put it on her heart, looking for the correct position according to Chen Yuzhi's instructions.
At this moment, Liu Qingfeng, who woke up from a hangover, heard about this and rushed over without even changing his pajamas. Seeing Chen Yuzhi with a stethoscope on his ear, he asked curiously, "What is this?"
Mrs. Liu heard the movement and called him. He hurriedly looked around the screen, his face turned sullen, misunderstood that Chen Yuzhi wanted to belittle his wife, and tore off the stethoscope that was attached to Mrs. Liu's heart, and said angrily: "What are you doing? No wonder you want to come to the wing room! Good Chen Yuzhi, you are quite courageous!"
Chen Yuzhi's expression was calm, without guilt, and he explained: "Captain Liu, you misunderstood. This is a stethoscope used by western medicine to listen to the sound of the beating heart."
Liu Qingfeng didn't listen to him at all, and yelled angrily: "Listen to me! Stop talking sweet words, butler Liu, arrest him and send him to the police station!"
The housekeeper rushed in after hearing the words, but Chen Yuzhi remained calm. He handed the stethoscope to Liu Qingfeng: "Yes or no, you will know by listening."
"If you dare to lie to me with sweet words, I won't send it to the police station, and I will kill you with one shot!" Liu Qingfeng took it suspiciously, hung the stethoscope on his ear just like Chen Yuzhi, and put the other end on it indiscriminately. On his chest, moving, listening carefully to the sound.
At first he showed disdain, but it didn't take long for a look of surprise to emerge. Because he clearly heard the rhythmic beating sound coming from his ears.
"No wonder everyone is chasing western goods, it's really amazing." He was amazed.
Chen Yuzhi disagreed, and corrected his statement: "It's not that all western things are good, and Chinese medicine is just as broad and profound. It's just that it's more suitable for my wife's palpitations to be diagnosed with a stethoscope, and it's all about prescribing the right medicine. If you change a disease, you won't see it." Western medicine is better than Chinese medicine.”
Liu Qingfeng waved his hands impatiently: "I don't know anything about Chinese and Western medicine anyway, as long as it can be cured." He handed the stethoscope to Chen Yuzhi, "Go ahead."
At this time, the butler suddenly found that there was one person missing in the room, and looked at Chen Yuzhi and asked, "Doctor Chen, where is your assistant?"
"He has an upset stomach and has gone to the toilet. He will be back soon." Chen Yuzhi finished his explanation calmly, without giving everyone a chance to react, he turned to Liu Qingfeng and said, "Captain Liu, if it's not like this, I'll give it to you first." You perform acupuncture and moxibustion for half an hour, and in the middle of that, you can see a doctor for Madam, so as not to delay the time of the two of you."
Liu Qingfeng waved his hand: "This is the best."
Jiang Yuelou took advantage of the time Chen Yuzhi was delaying for him, and secretly searched for clues in Liu's courtyard quickly. The maids and servants who came and went on the way used courtyard walls, pillars, and rockery to hide.
Soon, he found several guards outside a certain room in the backyard, heavily guarded, very unreasonable. It's just that if he wants to go through the main entrance, he has no way to start, and the windows are closed tightly, so he has no way to see the situation inside the house.
Suddenly, his eyes fell on the roof, and the eaves shone with a faint luster under the refraction of the sun, and he suddenly had an idea in his mind.
It was easy for him to go up to the roof, and he leaned over to stick to it, gently lifted off the roof tiles, and looked down.
This is a warehouse, in which there are some boxes filled with goods, half of which have been disassembled, and it can be seen that it is the scented soap wrapped in colorful wrapping paper produced by the old factory in the suburbs.
"Western soap?" Jiang Yuelou whispered to himself.
At this moment, a few city defense guards came over with a simple cart, whispered a few words to the guard at the door, and entered the warehouse.
Jiang Yuelou quickly sealed the roof tiles, leaving only a very narrow gap, so that the sunlight would not leak into the house in a large area to attract attention, and he could also observe the movements of the guards.
Sure enough, after these guards entered the warehouse, they moved the goods and put them on the cart. Those goods were Western soaps.
Jiang Yuelou had already figured it out, and quietly jumped down from the roof and headed for the east wing.
There was a faint smell of wormwood outside the door of the East Wing.
He remembered what Chen Yuzhi told him: "If you use moxibustion, it's safe. If you don't, withdraw quickly." He felt a little relieved, adjusted to the state of a female assistant, walked in, and shouted respectfully: " Doctor Chen."
In the east wing, the screen had been moved aside, and Chen Yuzhi was writing prescriptions at the table. Liu Qingfeng lay on the bed with his feet facing the door, his back and head were covered with silver needles.
Hearing Jiang Yuelou's deliberately disguised voice, everyone in the room turned to look at him, and the housekeeper even looked at him with some scrutiny. Only Liu Qingfeng, who was familiar with Jiangyuelou, lay on the pillow unable to lift his head, and felt that the voice was inexplicably familiar.
Chen Yuzhi's heart finally fell, and he also entered the state. He looked back at Jiang Yuelou with stern eyes, and reprimanded him: "If you don't study well, you'll be lazy, and you can't find anyone when you're working."
Jiang Yuelou lowered his head, and explained under his throat as agreed: "I'm sorry, Doctor Chen, I caught a cold last night, and my stomach is really uncomfortable..."
"No rules. Go out with the suitcase and wait."
Hearing Chen Yuzhi's scolding, Jiang Yuelou immediately stepped forward to pick up the medicine box, bowed and went out backwards.
Liu Qingfeng really wanted to look up, but there were needles on his back and head, but he just raised his head slightly, and his sight was blocked by Chen Yuzhi who took a step forward.
"Captain Liu, don't move, be careful that the needle breaks in your body." Chen Yuzhi exclaimed.
Under the cover of this moment, Jiang Yuelou had already safely left the East Wing with the medicine box in hand.
It wasn't until the two returned to Yu Zhitang that the sense of crisis hanging over their hearts was completely lifted.
Chen Yuzhi carefully checked the surroundings for any suspicious situations, and immediately hung up the closing sign.
Jiang Yuelou took off the camouflage on his face and head, revealing his true face, and heaved a sigh of relief: "It's much more comfortable."
"What did you find?" Chen Yuzhi poured him a glass of water and asked eagerly.
"Do you still remember that western soap wrapping paper? There are a lot of packaged soaps piled up in the warehouse in the backyard of the Liu family."
Chen Yuzhi was surprised: "It's just soap?"
Jiang Yuelou gulped down the water, wiped the water stains on the corner of his mouth, and analyzed him: "It looks like it is, but it may not be. I suspect that the wrapping paper produced by the old factory in the suburbs is used to disguise opium as soap. They entered the city. Liu Qingfeng from the city defense department came forward to give the green light, and they were also covered by western packaging. Ordinary city defense soldiers couldn't tell the difference. Unfortunately, before I had time to check, this batch of things was transported away. "
After all, it is already dangerous to enter Liu's mansion in disguise to find clues. Chen Yuzhi comforted him: "It was a worthwhile trip to find out the relationship between Liu Qingfeng and the old factory in the suburbs. If you follow the clues, you will definitely be able to trace the people behind the scenes."
"Well. To be on the safe side, I won't come to Yu Zhitang these days. If you have any news, please contact me as usual."
Chen Yuzhi nodded in agreement.
Jiang Yuelou returned to the police station non-stop. It happened that Song Rong and Sun Yongren also returned from the old factory in the suburbs and reported to him what happened to them.
At that time, they took two police officers and put on the clothes of the members of the Golden Horse Hall who were killed yesterday, and guarded the door carefully observing the movement around them.
They didn't wait for long, a car slowly drove up not far away, they immediately pulled out their pistols, retreated to the places where they each took cover in the old factory, loaded the bullets, and waited.
The car slowly approached the door and stopped. After a moment of silence, the sound of the car horn was heard.
Those few sounds seemed to be pressed by the driver unintentionally, but they were actually a kind of code, two short, one long, and one long. Song Rong and the others didn't know it at all, they were just vigilant, and didn't respond.
After a while, a man with the appearance of a businessman got out of the car and walked towards the door alone, without any doubts.
Sun Yongren hid behind the pillar and whispered to Song Rong, "What should I do?"
Song Rong put away his gun: "Don't let your guard down, try it first."
Several people nodded, pretending to be workers in the old factory, carrying the goods in the factory.
The businessman had already walked to the door at this time, saw Song Rong and others were busy, and shouted: "Director Han, how is the business recently?"
Hearing the sound, Song Rong turned his head and looked at the person who came, with a simple smile on his face, which was in great contrast to his usual indifference.
"Why, isn't Director Han here?"
Song Rong smiled honestly at the businessman and shook his head: "You are..."
"I'm in a small business, and I'm from the same hometown as your factory manager Han. Business has been very poor recently. I think that factory manager Han is rich and powerful, so come to pay a visit and bring my brother and me to make some money together."
"Director Han hasn't come yet, why don't you wait?"
The businessman smiled and shook his head: "Forget it, I still have something to do, come back another day. You are busy." He said, turned around and was about to leave.
Song Rong glanced at Sun Yongren, and the two stepped forward tacitly, putting their hands on the merchant's shoulders, trying to keep him.
The businessman suddenly became nervous, subconsciously avoided Song Rong's hand, turned around and drew the gun at his waist. Sun Yongren saw that the situation was not good, so he quickly drew his gun and confronted him.
Song Rong, who was closest, didn't have time to draw his gun, so he kicked him at the wrist, and the gun fell to the ground.
At the same time, Sun Yongren threw himself on the merchant's back and strangled his neck from behind. Seeing that there was no hope of leaving, the businessman tried his best to shout out the door: "Let's go..."
The car parked outside obviously heard the heart-piercing yell, the driver slammed the steering wheel to start the car, and drove away at high speed with a flick of its tail.
Two police officers chased after them quickly, and shot at the car, the bullets hit the body, but it was too late, the car had already driven away. The two chased for a few steps and had to give up.
"The situation is like this. I didn't get any effective information. The man who was caught didn't survive, and three of them escaped. I'm going to scare the snake. I'm afraid this factory will be abandoned and no one will come." Song Rong finished the report with a look on his face. blame yourself.
Jiang Yuelou didn't blame him, but comforted him: "Cheer up, we still have two clues, Liu Qingfeng and the batch of western soap. Take a few brothers and go to the market to find out the situation and see if you can get some clues from the soap. Find some clues online." After he finished speaking, he turned to Sun Yongren and ordered: "Go and watch Liu Qingfeng, and be careful not to be discovered. If there is any abnormal behavior, report it in time."
Sun Yongren and Song Rong were ordered to leave in a hurry.
Jiang Yuelou opened a document and was about to check it when she received a call from Bai Jinbo and got up and went to the director's office to report.
After hearing what he said, Bai Jinbo was very surprised: "Liu Qingfeng, a member of the City Defense Department? The water is getting deeper and deeper."
"Behind him, there are taller people."
Bai Jinbo's face was tangled, but in the end he just sighed, patted Jiang Yuelou on the shoulder, and warned: "Yuelou, you have become the target of public criticism. What you overturned was their money pot. Cutting off people's wealth is like You must be careful when you kill your parents."
Jiang Yuelou naturally understood this truth, but he was not afraid, instead, he had a faint excitement boiling in his blood. "Director, don't worry, I will live a good life. If I don't catch them all, and stop the flow of opium in Jingcheng completely, I will die with regret."
Bai Jinbo glared at him angrily: "Stop talking bad words. I saved your life, and I want you to live in peace."
Jiang Yuelou's heart was warmed by Bai Jinbo's care, and he rarely showed a sincere smile: "This subordinate obeys."
The two looked at each other and smiled.
In the famous tailor shop in the city, Zhan Junbai sat at the table drinking tea leisurely, Yutangchun stood in the middle of the open space, and the tailor was helping him measure his body with tools.
"This store has been around for a long time, and the craftsmanship of the master is very good. Especially the embroidery, which is very delicate, and it is the most suitable for making costumes."
Yutangchun stretched out his arms to ask the tailor to measure the length of the sleeves. Hearing this, he looked at Zhan Junbai and said with a slight smile, "Of course I know. It's just that the price is a little higher, so I don't come here often."
"Boss Yu, don't worry, this costume will be credited to me. It is most suitable to make a pearl phoenix crown and sing "The Drunken Concubine"."
Yu Tangchun was surprised that he was so generous, and immediately declined: "It's not appropriate to be rewarded for no merit, Director Zhan."
"Count it as a congratulatory gift for your new play."
"Then it's better to be respectful than to follow orders. When the new play is finished, I'll reserve the best seat for you." Knowing that she couldn't evade, Yu Tangchun accepted his kindness. He also wanted to get in touch with Zhan Junbai so that he could find out the deep hatred.
At this time, the tailor put away the tools respectfully, and stood aside: "Okay, Mr. Zhan please."
Zhan Junbai put down his teacup and walked towards where Yutangchun was standing, while Yutangchun, who had already measured the size, returned to the table.
Just as he was about to sit down, he saw that the tailor who was gentle and respectful just now suddenly looked at Zhan Junbai with hatred, and took out a dagger from his arms.
"Be careful!" he exclaimed, getting up and going to help.
Zhan Junbai got his reminder, noticed the abnormal movement behind him, and avoided it neatly.
The tailor missed nothing, but still rushed forward due to inertia, and the tip of the knife just met Yutangchun who was rushing over. At the same time, the tailor's assistant also drew his knife and rushed to Zhan Junbai, and the two became entangled.
Yutangchun has been singing opera for many years, and her figure is light and flexible, which could have avoided the sharp edge of a tailor's knife. But in the light of the calcium carbide flame, he seemed to have made a certain decision, and he grabbed the tailor's arm without hesitation to try to control him, and sent his body to the point of the knife without any trace.
His shoulder was pierced by a dagger, and blood dripped instantly, staining his white gown red.
Zhan Junbai had already thrown off his assistant, grabbed the dagger, and kicked him away heavily. Turning his head and seeing Yu Tangchun being stabbed, he threw the dagger in his hand towards the tailor's back.
The tailor fell from the knife and died soon after.
Zhan Junbai rushed forward and hugged Yutangchun's slipping body, anxiously calling his name, but unfortunately he had passed out.
Chen Yuzhi was urgently invited to the Zhan Mansion, and was shocked to see that Yu Tangchun was the one who was injured.
Not to mention nonsense, he immediately rolled up Yutangchun's eyelids to look, then pulled his arm to feel for his pulse, and decisively ordered Qiu Ming to prepare warm water, towels and other items needed for drawing the knife.
Zhan Junbai stood beside the bed and asked with a serious expression, "How is it?"
"There is no fear of life, but I am afraid it will be difficult to sing in the future."
Zhan Junbai heard this, and looked at Yutangchun lying on the bed with complicated emotions.
Chen Yuzhi didn't have time to care about his mood, so he neatly prepared the utensils aside. He sat on the edge of the bed, held the scissors and carefully cut the clothes on the wound, carefully checked the situation around the wound, and then said to Zhan Junbai, "Help me hold him."
Zhan Junbai ignored Qiu Ming's words of wanting to replace him, and sat down on the head of the bed, holding Yutangchun's shoulders on both sides to prevent him from struggling when he drew his sword.
Chen Yuzhi held the knife in his hand, took a deep breath, pressed a towel near the wound with one hand, and pulled out the knife suddenly with the other hand.
Blood splashed instantly, splashing on Chen Yuzhi's face and Zhan Junbai's clothes, neither of them cared about wiping it off, they eagerly blocked the bleeding hole with a towel, and pressed hard to help Yutangchun stop the bleeding.
When the spout of blood slowed down, Chen Yuzhi took the mulberry thread and needle forceps, and carefully sewed up the wound that had stopped bleeding. He was relieved until the suture was completely completed and bandaged.
"Dr. Chen's superb medical skills really deserve his reputation. Thank you for your hard work." Zhan Junbai handed Chen Yuzhi a clean towel, asked him to wipe the blood on his face, and personally sent him downstairs.
"Director Zhan is polite. It's just good. How could Boss Yu be hurt like this?"
Speaking of the reasons for the assassination, Zhan Junbai blamed himself a bit: "It's my fault, they came after me. The Financial Secretary implemented several new policies last year, and the implementation process was not smooth. The people below will handle your affairs. I know, relying on myself as an official family, sometimes the methods are a bit heavy."
Qiu Ming was a little dissatisfied, and complained to Zhan Junbai: "Director, you are so easy to talk. Those dirty things have nothing to do with you, but in the end these unscrupulous people actually blamed you."
Zhan Junbai glanced at Qiu Ming, who immediately lowered his head and said nothing.
Chen Yuzhi understood what was going on, and sighed: "There is nothing wrong with you, I have wronged you."
"It's nothing to me. I've been in the officialdom for so many years. I'm used to it. It's just that I've hurt Boss Yu." Zhan Junbai gave a long sigh of self-blame and annoyance, and then asked, "When will he wake up?"
"In order to relieve the pain when I drew the knife, I used some anesthetics, and I won't wake up until after nine o'clock tonight at the earliest."
Zhan Junbai looked upstairs worriedly, "I'm really worried about his current situation. Doctor Chen, I would like to make a request, can you stay overnight in Zhan Mansion tonight?"
In fact, Chen Yuzhi was also a little worried, not to mention that Yutangchun had an extraordinary relationship with him, so he agreed to Zhan Junbai's request.
"Alright. But I have to go back to the clinic first. One is that the anti-inflammatory drugs are gone, and the other is that I have an appointment for the patient in the afternoon. I will come before nine o'clock."
He declined Zhan Junbai's offer to ask the driver to take him off, and went to the patient's home for a follow-up consultation.
And Zhan Junbai looked down at the blood on his clothes, and the moment when Yutangchun blocked the knife flashed in his mind, his expression was not very good.
He told Qiu Ming: "Find someone who is quick-witted and wait in Boss Yu's room, and call me whenever there is a situation." Then he went back to the room to change clothes.
