Chapter 474

After Lin Ke Xin fell asleep, Chen Yongren finally got out of bed, carefully tucked her in, then also placed a guard dog in the bedroom and marked Lin Ke Xin in the whitelist.

If an emergency occurs at the villa, he can sense it instantly and return to the villa in time to provide support.

After disguising himself, he opened the Any Door.

Chen Yongren followed the address given by his boss and arrived at a civilian residence on Thirty-first Road in the French Concession, lightly knocking on the gate.

"Who?"

A voice sounded from inside the courtyard.

"Family members heard someone was ill and specially sent me to take care of you," Chen Yongren said.

Through the door, Chen Yongren could smell a pungent odor of blood and stench; the person inside was clearly injured.

The person inside again said: "You've got the wrong place; there's no one sick here."

"Family members are worried about you now; they said that no matter what happens, we will always be one family," Chen Yongren said again.

After a moment of silence, the wooden door cracked open a gap, and then a voice sounded.

"Come in quickly!"

Chen Yongren swiftly slipped into the courtyard.

An ordinary-looking young man stood at the doorway, constantly holding his pistol at his right side, the barrel always aimed at Chen Yongren.

Chen Yongren quickly used his scanning eye to confirm the person's identity.

Xu Jie.

Codename Bihu.

Leader of Action Group One of the Military Statistics Bureau's Jinmen Station, also serving as liaison officer.

The current situation shows that the former Jinmen Station chief, Pei San, was captured and defected, causing heavy losses to the Jinmen Station; the entire Action Group One had only him surviving by chance.

The other surviving members were also scattered throughout Jinmen, evading pursuit while waiting to be regrouped.

After Chen Yongren entered, Xu Jie quickly closed the courtyard gate.

He was very vigilant, from the moment Chen Yongren entered the courtyard until he went inside, never letting him out of his sight.

Xu Jie stood against the wall by the window, his right leg trembling slightly, with faint bloodstains visible on his shoe.

"Don't be nervous, I'm the person sent by the new station chief to meet with you. I know you're Xu Jie, and you risked your life to get the news of the incident at Jinmen Station out," Chen Yongren said, leaning against the wall with one hand in his windbreaker pocket and the other within Xu Jie's line of sight.

"The new station chief knows you're injured, so he specially ordered me to bring medicine to see you."

Chen Yongren took out a bottle of sulfonamide and waved it in front of Xu Jie.

Before, he had gone on a killing spree of little Japanese in Songhu, and the system's warehouse was not lacking medical supplies.

Seeing the sulfonamide in Chen Yongren's hand, Xu Jie's eyes lit up, then he fell silent, not hiding the wariness in his gaze: "Take one first."

"You are indeed wary." Chen Yongren joked.

He unscrewed the bottle cap neatly, poured out a few pills into his palm, casually picked one up and swallowed it, then opened his mouth to let Xu Jie have a look.

Xu Jie's situation, Chen Yongren could say he felt the same; his own experience in Songhu back then was no better, and staying wary of everything is a good thing.

Seeing this, Xu Jie's expression softened considerably; he clasped his fists and said: "Brother, sorry, I didn't mean it—Jinmen station suffered heavy losses, the brothers are all scattered, I have no choice but to be careful…"

"Being careful is a good thing." Chen Yongren stepped forward and said: "We came precisely for this matter; your condition is poor, let me first treat your wound."

Chen Yongren looked at Xu Jie's thigh and said: "Your injury is severe; if you don't get surgery soon, the best outcome is amputation."

Xu Jie pondered for a moment, then pointed to the stove in the corner and said: "The kettle has hot water, the towel in the basin is clean…"

Chen Yongren spoke gently: "You can lie down on the bed first; I'll give you an injection of anesthetic later, then treat your wound."

"You still have anesthetic?" Xu Jie exclaimed.

"This is a scarce supply, worth a fortune; even the Jinmen station hospital only has a few vials, all reserved for the station's officials."

"The higher-ups actually dared to give such precious medicine to the lower ranks?"

"The station chief knows something big happened in Jinmen, worried that the brothers might get injured and not receive timely treatment, so he managed to bring a lot of medicine." Chen Yongren patted Xu Jie's shoulder and said solemnly.

"The new station chief is a good person; he has already said he will absolutely not let down any good brother."

"Our Military Statistics Bureau has always had the tradition of never suffering a loss!"

"He said he would definitely find a way to settle the score with the little devils properly."

Hearing this, a flash of emotion crossed Xu Jie's face.

"Such a good superior is hard to come by."

"After all."

"He's been in Jinmen for so long, his injuries have only been simply bandaged; what qualifications does he have to use medicine?"

"Although he hasn't met his new superior yet, Xu Jie has already taken a liking to him."

Chen Yongren reached into his pocket, pulled out a syringe, then fished out the anesthetic.

Next, he laid out alcohol, iodine solution, cotton balls and other items on the table.

"You're carrying a little treasure trove on you—just a random grab and you get good stuff?" Xu Jie sized up Chen Yongren from head to toe, his head full of question marks.

"As a doctor, of course I need to carry the tools of my trade; otherwise how could I save my brothers at any moment?" Chen Yongren gave a casual excuse.

"You're a doctor?" Xu Jie exclaimed.

"Just happened to know a bit of medicine." Chen Yongren then injected the anesthetic into Xu Jie's thigh.

"Hiss~" Xu Jie frowned, gritting his teeth against the pain.

Not long after, the anesthetic took effect.

Chen Yongren flipped his wrist and produced a scalpel.

Xu Jie grew even more astonished, wondering where this guy had hidden the scalpel just moments before.

With medical skill at hand, Chen Yongren deftly cut away the rotting flesh on Xu Jie's thigh, disinfected, sutured the wound, and bandaged it.

The whole process took only a few minutes.

Looking at the neatly bandaged thigh, Xu Jie's face showed surprise.

You call this knowing a bit of medicine?

Jinmen Station, what sort of people have turned up?

"Don't get the wound wet; I can't come see you every day, so remember to change the bandage daily." Chen Yongren pointed at the medicine on the table and said.

"These supplies will last you a week."

"After using them, throw the bandages straight into the stove to burn; leave no trace."

"Brother, thank you for your hard work." Xu Jie nodded, feeling ever more moved: "Our new station chief is really..."

He had wanted to say "rich and powerful," but immediately said instead: "He truly looks after his subordinates; with him in charge of Jinmen Station, our days will surely get much better."

"That flattery, I'll accurately report it to the station chief." Chen Yongren also said: "Where's the radio, and how are we supposed to contact the missing team members?"

Xu Jie took out a notebook and said: "This is the personnel roster; it lists contact information for emergencies."

"However, I can't guarantee how many team members remain in Jinmen."

"I hid the radio in the French Concession, at the exact center of the garden on 40th Road, right opposite the Chinese parasol tree on 21st Road."
