Lost and Spy

Chapter 538 Medicines and Money
In 1936, Zhenjiang.

Lixingshe agents arrested the leaders of the Zhenjiang Workers and Peasants Party.

Meng Shaoyuan had the courage to release the worker and peasant party member privately.

"Put down the gun, who said we are spies? We are smugglers, gangsters. You are also gangsters, right? Together, together. Farewell, farewell!"

That's what he said that day, and he also told the man:

"Going west, they all went east. By the way, you don't need to thank me again. You owe me a bowl of noodles. If you have a chance to meet again next time, remember to give it back to me!"

Meng Shaoyuan was still a small person at the time, and if he let him go without permission, he would lose his head anytime and anywhere.

After so long, he has long forgotten.But he never dreamed that he would meet again today:

Guo Junian!
……

"That time in Zhenjiang, I owed you a bowl of noodles, and I will pay you back today."

In the noodle shop, Guo Junian actually ordered two bowls of noodles.

"Ah, just kidding, you still take it seriously." Meng Shaoyuan looked a little absent-minded.

Brother, I didn't see you, and I didn't know you.

Or, if I invite you to this side, just pretend that nothing happened?

"You helped me twice, once in Zhenjiang and once in Shanghai." Guo Junian said with a smile, "I just heard those policemen call you 'Boss Meng', if I guessed correctly, you are the famous Meng Shaoyuan, right?"

Bitter, I already know the name, if it gets out, it will be troublesome.

"Yes." Meng Shaoyuan cheered up: "I am from the military command, and you are from there. Now that the two parties are cooperating to fight against Japan together, we are now on the same front. Comrade... I am right It is also a coincidence that the person in your party who admires you can help you twice, I wonder why you came to Shanghai this time?"

Although the "Group of Ten" before Lixingshe used to call each other "comrade", but Guo Junian still felt a little weird when he said this address from the mouth of a famous spy:

"Mr. Meng helped me twice. I am very grateful. You are right. In front of the Japanese invaders, our two parties put aside conflicts and fought against the Japanese together without distinction. I have nothing to hide from you. That time in Zhenjiang After escaping from danger, I found an organization and accepted new positions and tasks. After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, our party also entered the battlefield in full swing.

You also know that our living conditions are very difficult, and there is no way to compare with our brothers in the national army.Especially on the battlefield, we have a large number of wounded. Because of the lack of medicines, they often cannot receive timely treatment and die.This time, one of our leaders was also injured and urgently needed medicines, so I came to Shanghai to buy them under the order of the organization. "

"Give it to me."

Without even thinking about it, Meng Shaoyuan blurted out: "Mr. Guo, I will arrange for you to live in the International Hotel, where it is much safer. As for you, wait in the hotel for two days, and I will send you a batch of medicines."

Uh, so refreshing?

You must know that buying medicines in Shanghai is actually not that easy, especially the extremely precious medicines, which can only be purchased through the black market.

And doing so is easy to be deceived, and second, it is ridiculously expensive.

Guo Junian managed to get some medicine, but was caught by police.Although the others were released, the drugs were all detained by the police station.

Originally, after knowing that the young man in front of him was Meng Shaoyuan, the master of Shanghai Bund, Guo Junian wanted to test whether he could ask him to find a way.

After all, it seems that there is nothing he can't do for this person in Shanghai.Furthermore, the news about the Da Guangming Cinema had already spread. From Guo Junian's point of view, although this person was a great spy, he was still very patriotic.

But now that he hasn't spoken yet, Meng Shaoyuan has already offered to help?
"Mr. Guo, don't worry, the waves are restless, ah, sulfa is very effective in treating injuries, I will prepare some more for you, but unfortunately there is no penicillin..."

"What is penicillin?"

Guo Junian was taken aback when he heard the name.

Meng Shaoyuan realized that he had made a slip of the tongue, so he quickly covered it up and said, "I really can't get a particularly precious medicine..."

It's no wonder that Guo Junian was unheard of. Although "Penicillin" became famous later, it has not been officially invented yet.

Penicillin, also known as "penicillin", was discovered by Fleming, a professor at the University of London in 1928.

Fleming was lucky to discover Penicillium, but he was also unlucky. After more than ten years of research, he has been unable to mass-produce Penicillium.According to his experimental method, one liter of culture fluid can only extract 2 units of penicillin, which cannot achieve practical results at all.

Professors Florey and Chain of the University of Oxford found Fleming's paper, they were very interested, and began to study the properties and chemical structure of Penicillium.

After trial and error, Flory extracted the antibiotic penicillin, also known as penicillin, from the Penicillium bacterium.

But it was not until 1941 that the first human penicillin test was successful.

Now, this miracle drug is still in the laboratory.

"Mr. Meng, we have already thanked you very much." Guo Junian said seriously: "We will never forget what you have done for us."

"It's okay, it's okay." Meng Shaoyuan decided to be a good person to the end: "Mr. Guo, after the medicine is ready, I will be responsible for sending you out of Shanghai. Are you going?"

"Subei."

"It's easy, it's easy. Your army's conditions are difficult and it's not easy. I'll prepare another sum of money for you, not much, 3 yuan, just to express my heart."

This spy is really too much fun.Not only medicine, but also money?

Guo Junian was a little uncertain about his real intentions: "Mr. Meng is generous. 3 yuan may not be much to Mr. Meng, but it is a huge sum of money to us. I don't know if Meng Shaoyuan is so helpful. What conditions?"

"No conditions, all free. If you have to say yes, I would like to ask Mr. Guo for help."

"But it's okay to say, as long as it doesn't violate organizational discipline, I can agree to anything I have to do."

Meng Shaoyuan pondered for a while: "In the future, I said that if any of my brothers fall into the hands of your party, if there is no heinous crime, I would like to ask Mr. Guo to look at today's relationship and give them a way out."

Guo Junian was even more confused.

What does it mean?
"Haha, nonsense, Mr. Guo, don't take it to heart." Meng Shaoyuan said with a smile: "We don't care what will happen in the future, in short, the enemy is now, unite and fight against Japan together. I am greedy for money and lust. It is incompatible with your party's ideas, but at least one thing is the same, I am a Chinese."

"Okay, Mr. Meng said well."

In the noodle shop, Guo Junian didn't dare to make too much noise, picked up the noodle bowl and said in a low voice, "I am a Chinese, we are all Chinese, there is no wine here, so I will serve Mr. Meng a bowl with noodle soup instead of wine."

"Please, please."

Meng Shaoyuan took a sip of the noodle soup from his noodle bowl.

He felt that it was not easy for him, and he had to consider not only himself, but also his brothers.

Tired.

He didn't think much about partisan disputes at all.

The only thing he could think about was how to continue fighting the Japanese.

other?
Let it fall apart!

……

"Director Meng, this is a big deal."

Wu Jingyi frowned: "In case someone finds out..."

"My sister." Meng Shaoyuan's voice was very low: "If you don't tell me about this matter, who will know? Many friends have many paths, you can always understand this truth? Maybe you will ask others in the future ?”

"You are brave, and Mr. Dai dotes on you, of course you don't care."

Wu Jingyi sighed: "Succeed, anyway, what do you say, I will do whatever I want. Send the medicine and money to the International Hotel... If the higher-ups find out about it in the future and investigate it, I will be the scapegoat."

"It's all for the war of resistance, and it's not easy." Meng Shaoyuan rubbed his nose: "Hey, let me say Assistant Wu. In the future, let me use an analogy. If the war of resistance wins, what are you going to do?"

"What else can I do?" Wu Jingyi smiled bitterly: "What I want to do the most is to go to Hong Kong and be with my husband and children. But you also know that from the first day we were in this business, there was no way to leave gone."

As long as it is on this day, life is a member of the military command, and death is the ghost of the military command.

with no exceptions.

"Don't worry, when the day comes, I will help you find a way." Meng Shaoyuan actually comforted him in this way: "You have said it all, I am brave and don't care. When the time comes, I will send you to Hong Kong, you and your husband and children We're reconciled, you can live in Hong Kong if you want, or you can go to the United States and Europe, in short, leave it to me."

A gleam of light flashed in Wu Jingyi's eyes.

She doesn't want to be a spy at all, she just wants to be a good wife.

If Young Master Meng can really fulfill his promise and be happy with his husband and children, then there will be no regrets.

"As for me, I am your head." Meng Shaoyuan took out a cigarette, but did not light it, and played with it in his hand. After a while, he said, "I don't know if I am a good leader, but I am a good leader." I thought, since we are destined to stay together, as long as you can live until the end of the War of Resistance, I have to make arrangements for you, unless you don’t want to listen to me.”

Wu Jingyi frowned.

Young Master Meng is a little strange today, why is there something in his words?

"It's done, this is another story." Meng Shaoyuan finally lit a cigarette: "You have arranged for me to keep an eye on the traitors. Old Tang is waiting for me to ask for money. This guy is more ruthless than Mr. Dai. If you can't see the money, you will never leave. Damn, do you really want me to pay? Everyone treats me as the God of Wealth? Those traitors don't want to pay, so should I pay?"

Wu Jingyi smiled.

This is the Young Master Meng she is familiar with. He only allows himself to make a profit, so who cares whether others suffer or not?

At first, she still had some doubts, but now she was relieved. If such a person stayed in another place, he would probably have been shot several times already.

"By the way, there is one more thing. Let us see if we can get the Japanese army's combat deployment and attack route against Xuzhou."

"I see, tell the higher-ups, and I will send someone to handle it immediately."

Meng Shaoyuan tried his best to recall everything related to the ongoing battle of Xuzhou in his mind.
