Chapter 340 The Dean Adds Fuel to the Fire
Wan Qili was still lying on the bed. She turned over and scolded him, "Why are you howling so suddenly? What's the big deal?"
Xu Tianyi handed the newspaper to Su Bai while poking with his index finger: "Look, isn't this a big deal?"
Su Bai took the newspaper and read it. It was indeed a big deal, and it was a big deal targeting him. It was another action taken by the Japanese after they published the photos in the newspaper yesterday.
This is also a special edition. The contents on the front and back sides are different, but they are both directed at myself.
The big headline on the front is: A new drug was discovered in the Japanese army’s position. Could it be the invention of a traitorous female scientist?
A photo was attached below the title, showing dozens of penicillin neatly arranged on the ground, with two empty bottles of erythromycin next to them.
There are several feet wearing military boots on the left and right sides of Penicillin and Erythromycin. These are the military boots of the National Army.
Below the photo is a caption: Last night, the National Army successfully raided a Japanese field hospital near Shi Xianggong Temple and seized a large number of medicines, among which they found this never-before-seen injectable powder injection, which is transliterated as penicillin, and two empty bottles of erythromycin.
The article analyzed that this was most likely the article published in the special editions of many newspapers yesterday about a new drug invented by a female scientist, one injectable and the other oral, which was completely consistent.
It seems that the articles and photos published in the newspaper in the Japanese-occupied area are credible.
The Kuomintang soldiers found a total of 71 intactly sealed penicillin tubes in this field hospital.
Wan Qili laughed on the side, she thought the Japanese army had messed up again.
"What are you laughing at? Tell me quickly!" Su Bai asked anxiously.
"Don't be impatient, sister. Just listen to me and I will tell you slowly."
The purpose of the Japanese army staging this drama was very clear, which was to make everyone believe that the news published in the extra editions of various newspapers yesterday was true.
71 vials of penicillin were deliberately discarded to let those who were concerned know that thanks to the cooperation of the female scientist, the Japanese army had already put these two drugs into use on the battlefield.
Although this article was interviewed and written by a Chinese journalist, Wan Qili firmly believes that even if this journalist was not a traitor, he took money that he should not have taken and colluded with the Japanese.
His reports are so timely and targeted.
Looking at the second page on the back of this special edition, there are several articles published. There is nothing new in them. They all call on the government to thoroughly investigate the matter and execute the traitors and running dogs.
Su Bai smiled bitterly. Being a traitor wasn't enough, now he had to bear the additional title of a running dog?
Wan Qili comforted Su Bai and told him not to worry. Ordinary people might believe what the Japanese did, but the government officials and police who might come to investigate would not easily believe it or make hasty conclusions.
There were only 71 doses of penicillin. As far as we know now, both St. Mary's Rescue Team and the Fifth Rescue Team had spies who colluded with the Japanese. But it was definitely not just these two rescue teams that had spies. Other rescue teams might have had spies as well. It would have been easy for them to get these 71 doses of penicillin. This does not prove that the Japanese really had penicillin.
Yes, after Wan Qili said this, Su Bai suddenly understood.
But then I immediately became worried again. We saw through the Japanese's tricks at a glance, but what about the others?
Especially the medical staff downstairs, who barely suppressed their impulse yesterday with the help of Luo Pinzhang's big stick and sugar cube and the cooperation of the wounded battalion commander. Wouldn't they be furious again when they see this special edition today?
Strangely, it was very quiet down there. Apart from the nurse starting to call out the names of the wounded and notifying them of the order for dressing changes, there was no movement at all.
Xu Tianyi said that the nurses are very busy every morning and probably haven’t seen this special edition yet.
"Then where did you get this special edition?" Wan Qili asked.
Xu Tianyi scratched his head and admitted it. He stayed here all day yesterday and didn't even go downstairs. He was so suffocated.
This morning I went out for some fresh air when no one was around, and happened to buy this special edition.
Su Bai nodded. Perhaps just as Xu Tianyi said, the medical staff downstairs had not seen the special edition yet.
But this is temporary, and they will soon find out.
When Wan Qili asked Xu Tianyi why the nurse guarding the gate and the lightly wounded soldier did not stop him from strolling outside, Xu Tianyi replied that they were placing Miss Lan under house arrest, not him.
He then said to Wan Qili: "If you don't believe me, go and try it. No one will stop you when you go out."
Just then, there was a noise coming from downstairs, and Su Bai immediately realized that the critical moment had arrived again.
She didn't dare to imagine how the young people downstairs would react when they saw today's special edition, and whether they would lose control of their emotions.
Xu Tianyi rushed out of the room immediately and turned back to say, "It's Vice President Zhang!"
Su Bai immediately stood up and walked out of the house with Wan Qili. They saw Vice President Zhang standing in the middle of the church hall with a stack of newspapers, dozens of them.
He handed the newspaper to several nurses and asked them to distribute it to the medical staff and the wounded soldiers who came over to watch.
You don't need to look to know that even though the special edition that Xu Tianyi bought was not from the same newspaper, the content was similar.
"What is this old guy going to do?" Wan Qili said, and her right hand reached for her waist, ready to take out the gun at any time.
Su Bai realized that the problem was much more serious than she had imagined.
Why did Vice President Zhang buy so many newspapers?
He sent it to everyone, and then took advantage of the situation to fan the flames and stir up everyone's emotions.
Why is this?
Did he also believe that what was published in the newspaper was true and that he was a traitor?
Su Bai glanced to the left and right, and saw that Wan Qili and Xu Tianyi had both reached to their waists and grasped the handles of their guns.
Su Bai didn't know what to do. If Vice President Zhang really encouraged those young medical staff to rush upstairs...
There was no choice but to let Wan Qili and Xu Tianyi kill him.
There is no way. My safety is related to penicillin. For penicillin and for the soldiers on the front line... Su Bai didn't dare to think further. A bloody battle was imminent.
At this moment, a nurse who was guarding the church door and was responsible for receiving new wounded patients ran in, waving her hands and shouting excitedly: "Dr. Shi is back!"
Doctor Shi?
Su Bai hasn't seen Zi Yan since he left St. Mary's to work on the streptomycin project. It feels like several years have passed.
Dr. Shi walked into the hall with a cheerful face, waving his hand and greeting everyone with a smile.
Su Bai didn't see Zi Yan, so she should still be working in Renji Hospital.
After Vice President Zhang shook hands with Doctor Shi, he immediately said to her, "Doctor Shi, you're back just in time. There's a big incident happening in the Fifth Rescue Team right now. I was very busy, but I came back especially for this matter. We can't delay this any longer!"
A nurse handed a newspaper to Dr. Shi, who didn't even look at it. He asked Vice President Zhang, "What does the president think? What do you plan to do?"
A young man immediately said: "We must take the traitors to the police station or the army today. We don't know when they will come to arrest us, and we may let them escape if we are not careful!"
Another young doctor raised his hand and pointed at the people near the railing on the second floor and shouted, "Look, those two bodyguards have already got their guns in their hands!"
