With a heavy sigh, Director Liu picked up the phone on his desk and dialed a number.

The investigation records and reports from the previous case have all been sealed up, and no one may access them without Director Chen's permission.

After hanging up the phone, Director Liu went to the bureau chief's office on the third floor.

"Director Liu, you just said on the phone that you wanted to review that report. Tell me why."

"Director Chen, it's like this..."

Director Liu reported on what had happened this morning, and then expressed his suspicions.

After listening, Director Chen sat there and thought about it seriously.

After a moment, he said, "So you think these two cases are related?"

"I just have some doubts. After all, it's not easy to move something so heavy without anyone noticing. The only possible culprit is the group that released the documents two years ago."

"You think they're a group?"

Director Liu shook his head with a wry smile: "Director, to be honest, after investigating that case for so long, I still have no clue. I just think that such heavy and numerous items are impossible for one or two or three people to move."

Director Chen nodded: "Let me tell you the truth, all the case files have been sealed up by the higher-ups. No one is allowed to access them for any reason. These are the exact words of the higher-ups."

Director Liu looked at Director Chen in surprise, somewhat puzzled as to why this was happening.

Director Chen glanced at Director Liu and smiled slightly: "Can't figure it out, can you?"

Director Liu nodded: "Director, why are the leaders acting like this?"

Director Chen didn't explain to him, but said, "If you can't figure it out, don't think about it. This is an order; just obey it."

Okay, you're my boss, you're in charge.

"We need to investigate this spy case more thoroughly to see who took it and whether they have other accomplices that we haven't uncovered."

"Yes," Director Liu answered crisply, his feet together.

After leaving the director's office, Director Liu shook his head. There was nothing he could do now; he could only investigate this case separately.

Go back and wait for their interrogation results.

As for Li Chu, he had no idea that the box of gold bars he received for signing in would actually belong to those two spies.

Meanwhile, Director Liu was currently pulling his hair over the box of gold bars.

He's got nothing better to do, so he's squatting outside the clinic, enjoying the snowy scenery.

Looking at the snow falling heavily, I felt pretty good.

Of course it's great! Two hundred pounds of gold bars—even by today's prices, that's enough to make someone a millionaire.

This wealthy man is currently unable to make a public appearance.

They greeted passing colleagues, and everyone's face was filled with a happy smile.

The Chinese New Year is almost here; the Spring Festival of 1965 is just around the corner.

I'll be thirty after the New Year. Thirty is the age of establishment, but have I truly established myself yet?

Li Chu's mind wandered off to another topic.

"Dr. Li"

"Here I am, Nurse Su. What is it?"

"Dean Yang called and asked you to come to his office."

"Okay, thanks!"

Standing up, Li Chu closed the door to the clinic and walked into the heavy snow toward the administration building at the back.

"Dean Yang, is there something you need?"

"Dr. Li, please have a seat." Upon seeing Li Chu appear at the office door, Dean Yang stood up and warmly welcomed him.

Dean Yang is growing to like Li Chu more and more.

When he first received the proposal on standardized disinfection procedures submitted at the end of October last year, he was somewhat dismissive of it.

However, out of caution, he still called over the two vice deans in charge of business and had them take a look as well.

To his surprise, the suggestion attracted great attention from the two vice presidents.

They're all professionals; they could immediately see the importance of this advice.

This work was not taken seriously before, which was only due to the limitations of the times. Now that someone has brought it up, pointed out many problems, and even provided some solutions, how could they not know the seriousness of these problems?

"Dean Yang, who gave you this suggestion?" Vice Dean Zhang asked excitedly.

"Uh, this was handed over by Dr. Li from the Traditional Chinese Medicine department. Lao Zhang, Lao Liu, what do you think of this suggestion?"

Sure enough, I knew it was him.

Vice President Liu smiled and nodded: "He's the only one in our hospital who can often offer constructive suggestions."

"Dean Yang, this suggestion is excellent. We are a hospital, and the people who come here are patients. They come here to relieve their pain. If patients and their families come to the hospital and instead get infected with other diseases, or even more serious diseases, do you think we can still be considered a place that treats and saves lives?"

At this point, Vice Dean Zhang shook his head and said with a sigh, "I really don't know how this kid's brain works. He can always see things that others can't."

Vice President Liu continued, "That's true. Take the obstetrics and gynecology department for example. Last year, Dr. Li suggested to the obstetrics and gynecology department that a file be established for each pregnant woman and that pregnant women be urged to come to the hospital for regular check-ups."

In just a few short months, do you know how much the maternal and neonatal mortality rates have decreased?

Turning to look at Dean Yang and Vice Dean Zhang, before they could speak, Vice Dean Liu continued, "It has decreased by nearly 20% year-on-year. Similarly, thanks to effective joint publicity with the Women's Federation, the number of pregnant women coming to the hospital to give birth has increased by more than 500% year-on-year."

Since the previous year's work summary meeting had not yet been held, these specific figures had not yet been released. Dean Yang and Vice Dean Zhang were not entirely clear about the current situation of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology. However, the data presented by Vice Dean Liu, who was in charge of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology and Pediatrics, was truly astonishing to them.

"Old Liu, you mean that program in the obstetrics and gynecology department that provides regular check-ups for pregnant women, which was also proposed by Li Chu?"

Dean Yang asked in surprise, as he really didn't know about this matter. He only knew that there was such an activity organized with the Women's Federation, but he didn't expect that the initiator was Li Chu.

"Yes, according to him, he had this idea because his wife was pregnant at the time."

This is truly an explanation that is both laughable and pathetic.

However, it is clearly a very good suggestion.

With the support of the two vice deans in charge of business, this work was quickly implemented.

Although there were some bumps along the way in the first month, the doctors and nurses working in the hospital are intellectuals in this era, and they have a strong ability to accept new things. By December, they were already doing a pretty good job.
