Chapter 256: Chen Xiaoshu

There's no X-ray for them; they're simply isolated and given blood tests, awaiting results.

They were terrified of catching tuberculosis, then being dumped in the wild to fend for themselves.

Only the next day did the test results come out.

Chen Yongren and Gu Yongshan's test results were quite normal.

Since tuberculosis itself was a hoax, Chen Yongren wasn't surprised by the result, but he still put on a delighted expression.

Gu Yongshan, sizing up Chen Yongren, upon seeing her own result, also quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

Great.

No disease!

"Doctor, I really don't have the disease?" Gu Yongshan was still a bit nervous: "That tuberculosis patient sprayed blood all over me."

"Maybe it's because you're lucky and in good shape; you also said that when the blood sprayed on you, you not only wore a mask but also disinfected promptly." The doctor casually explained.

Seeing Gu Yongshan's expression, he strangely said: "You're really strange; not being infected isn't good?"

"Thank you, thank you, doctor!" Gu Yongshan exclaimed, suddenly feeling something off, and asked: "Why were only those three infected?"

"You don't know the condition of your place; it's dirty, chaotic, and damp." The doctor also said: "It could also be mosquito-borne; they already had severe injuries, poor physique, and weak resistance."

"It might also be rats gnawing their wounds, causing illness; this time you were lucky, but next time you must definitely be careful."

"Yes, yes, yes, doctor." For the doctor who could save her life, Gu Yongshan still felt reassured inside.

Although there was the doctor's explanation, Gu Yongshan still had some doubts inside.

Chen Yongren knew that Gu Yongshan doubted why only those three were precisely infected, and in just a few days it had become so severe.

Unable to figure it out, Gu Yongshan temporarily put the matter behind her.

After handing over the follow-up matters to Gu Yongshan, Chen Yongren left the hospital and went home.

Seeing Chen Yongren come home, Hua Lei stepped forward, hugged him, and pouted: "You haven't come home these two days; I went to No. 76, and everyone said you went to the hospital."

Chen Yongren could feel the worry in Hua Lei's words, and comforted: "It's fine, I'm back now."

After briefly comforting Hua Lei and promising to take her out for an evening stroll to relax, Hua Lei then skipped away happily.

Chen Yongren was about to change clothes when the home phone suddenly rang.

The phone was connected.

From the receiver came Tengyuan Jintai's voice.

"Chen Sang."

"Director Tengyuan, I've just arrived home and was about to call you." Chen Yongren said.

Tengyuan Jintai said: "I called you because I knew you were already home; how do you feel?"

"Thank you, Director Tengyuan, for your concern; the hospital's test results are all normal." Chen Yongren casually said while sitting on the sofa: "I never expected that those three Red Party members would actually have tuberculosis."

"Right, Director Tengyuan, to prevent the virus from spreading at No. 76, I've already sent people to take those three fellows to the mass grave."

"Please forgive my insolence for not inviting you!"

"No problem, Chen Sang; your approach is completely correct. If you hadn't contained it in time, the situation might be even worse than now." Tengyuan Jintai said in a low voice.

"Speaking of them, Director Tengyuan, regarding their interrogation, I have formed a bold guess." Chen Yongren said.

"What guess? Tell us." Tengyuan Jintai asked.

"The Red Party is extremely likely to have bought explosives in bulk in order to blow up a ship." Chen Yongren said in a low voice.

Since I had already reported the news in advance, they couldn't possibly go blow up the ship.

This news won't affect them at all; it's perfect to make use of, and it can also make the old devils feel they're paying close attention to this matter.

"Blow up a ship?" Tengyuan Jintai exclaimed in surprise.

"The Peace Conference vessel!" Chen Yongren said: "During these two days at the hospital, I've thought it over, and it seems only this matter would make them so concerned."

"Chen Sang, you're absolutely right; the Peace Conference is about to convene, so their activities will surely be frequent lately." Tengyuan Jintai said satisfied.

"We must seize this opportunity to root out the hidden Red Party and Yu City faction elements, eradicating them completely."

"The biggest Yu City faction element in Songhu is currently on the phone with you; Chen Yongren muttered to himself: 'Yes, I understand!'"

After exchanging a few more pleasantries, they then hung up.

Chen Yongren then turned his thoughts to his own schedule.

"Before blowing up the special train, one should devise a travel plan to let the Red Party attempt another assassination, thereby strengthening the little devils' trust in oneself!"

"The Red Party, to ensure assassination success, will definitely not stay too far away; with the danger-sensing skill in hand, there's no need to worry about any mishaps."

……

Meanwhile.

After finishing the follow-up work, Gu Yongshan then sought out Zeng Qiru and briefly explained to him what had happened today.

Unexpectedly, there stood a strange young man in Zeng Qiru's room.

"This is Gu Yongshan of the Intelligence Department, Section Chief Gu!" Zeng Qiru laughed while introducing.

Before Gu Yongshan could speak.

She then heard a thunderclap ring in her ear.

The young man straightened his body, saluted Gu Yongshan, and said: "Report, Section Chief Gu, I am the new recruit of the Operations Department, Chen Xiaoshu!"

?

Gu Yongshan's head slowly sprouted a question mark, as if wondering where Zeng Qiru had found such a thing.

"Still a mouse? Who's so lacking in common sense to give such a weird name?"

Zeng Qiru suppressed a laugh and told Chen Xiaoshu: "Alright, you may go out."

"Yes, Section Chief!" Chen Xiaoshu stood at attention, saluted, stared with eyes wide, marched in step, and walked out of the room.

"Remember to close the door!" Zeng Qiru's gaze swept past Gu Yongshan toward the doorway.

"Yes, commanding officer!" Chen Xiaoshu straightened up again and yanked the door open.

With a loud "bang", the door slammed shut.

Gu Yongshan's expression showed surprise as she looked at Zeng Qiru.

"This is the new recruit we just hired today—how is it, fun?" Seeing Gu Yongshan's confusion, Zeng Qiru laughed and said.

"……" Gu Yongshan fell silent for a moment.

Suddenly remembering, Zeng Qiru had indeed been busy recruiting newcomers lately.

No choice—Chen Yongren killed eight as soon as he arrived, so we had to recruit.

"I find him quite interesting, so I decided to keep him," Zeng Qiru said.

"Just this simpleton?" Gu Yongshan frowned: "What do you want him to do?"

"This guy used to serve in the National Government army, and later, in the battle suppressing the Red Party, he was shaken like this by their grenade," Zeng Qiru also laughed heartily.

"Everyone knows what the National Government is like—no one gave him medical treatment, so he was just dumped in the rear."

"He not only resents the Eighth Route Army that made him like this, but also hates the National Government that abandoned him!"

"You mean…?" Gu Yongshan immediately understood Zeng Qiru's intention.

"Exactly, such a simpleton—it would be a waste not to make good use of him," Zeng Qiru laughed sinisterly.
