Chapter 402 Brothers Reunited

Late at night, everyone had already gone to rest, but Ning Zhiheng was carefully examining the account books handed over by You Laoliu. He had agreed with You Laoliu that 20% of the profits would go to him, but since You Laoliu wasn't his brother, he still didn't quite trust him.

"Knock knock!" A knocking sound rang out on the door.

"Come in!" Ning Zhiheng didn't even look up, and continued to examine the account book in his hand.

Team member Lin Xiang pushed open the door and entered, then turned around and closed it. He stood in front of Ning Zhiheng and saluted.

Ning Zhiheng calmly instructed, "Tell me about his performance during this period!"

Lin Xiang quickly whispered, "Captain Ji hasn't acted alone for the past two weeks. He's very careful and always takes his team with him wherever he goes."

I visited Lieutenant Miao at Depp Hospital every two days. Each time I received the goods, I would inspect them and record the details in the ledger. The handover with You Laoliu was very clear. I secretly checked the records and found no discrepancies.

He never kept any medicine when he delivered it to the hospital. However, ten days ago, he found a box of medicine in a shipment, which was probably sulfonamide. He did not deliver it to the hospital, but put it in his room.

Every time we handed over payments to You Laoliu, we were there to protect him, and the money was left in his room afterward.

"Did he and You Laoliu ever spend time alone together?"

"It happened three times, but I was quite far away and didn't hear what they were saying clearly. However, I'm sure no money was involved!"

"Very well, you may leave!"

"yes!"

Lin Xiang was a veteran team member under Ning Zhiheng. This time, when he went to the front line in Pudong, he was left behind to specifically monitor Ji Hongyi.

Handling so many goods and money is a severe test for anyone.

Some people can face danger with equanimity and sacrifice their lives for their comrades, but they cannot resist the enormous temptation of money and betray their brothers because of greed.

Ji Hongyi had only been with Ning Zhiheng for a short time, and Ning Zhiheng couldn't fully trust him. If it weren't for the fact that he was a member of the Green Gang and that the Jiangbei Gang behind him still had some influence in the French Concession, Ning Zhiheng wouldn't have kept Ji Hongyi around, simply because he and You Laoliu were sworn brothers. If they joined forces, Ning Zhiheng, being too far away in Pudong, would be at their mercy.

Ning Zhiheng had to leave some arrangements as a precaution, since sometimes people's hearts cannot be tested.

If Ji Hongyi really dared to profit from this or abscond with the money, Ning Zhiheng would naturally not let him off the hook. Fortunately, Ji Hongyi did not betray his trust.

The next day, Ning Zhiheng took Ji Hongyi to Depu Hospital early in the morning to visit his brother and classmate Miao Yongyi.

The hospital remained the same as before, with all the medical staff and doctors constantly moving back and forth, busy with their work. The wards and corridors were filled with wounded soldiers who had been evacuated from the front lines, and groans and screams could be heard from time to time.

The medical staff who were treating the wounded all lit up when they saw Ji Hongyi behind Ning Zhiheng. A female nurse quickly came up to Ji Hongyi and said, "Captain Ji, you've come to see your friend. Dr. Li just removed his stitches today. I'll take you there."

The other medical staff also looked at Ji Hongyi with warm eyes and greeted him with sincere smiles.

In front of Ning Zhiheng, Ji Hongyi's expression became somewhat unnatural. He quickly smiled and said, "No need, we can go by ourselves."

During this period, Ji Hongyi has become the most popular person in major hospitals in Nanshi. When the hospitals stopped providing medication and many soldiers in the War of Resistance Against Japan were on the verge of death, this officer selflessly delivered medicines more precious than gold to them on multiple occasions, saving the lives of countless soldiers.

All the medicines in the hospital were delivered by Ji Hongyi. Without these medicines, countless soldiers would have died due to shortages and inadequate treatment. Therefore, Ji Hongyi was warmly received by the medical staff as soon as he arrived at the hospital.

Ning Zhiheng and Ji Hongyi walked towards the officers' ward and entered Miao Yongyi's ward.

As Ning Zhiheng took the first step forward, he saw Miao Yongyi standing by the hospital bed, holding onto the headboard and slowly moving his feet, tentatively walking back and forth.

When they saw someone come in, everyone in the ward looked up. Miao Yongyi also turned around and was overjoyed.

"Courage and righteousness!"

"Zhiheng!"

The two looked into each other's eyes, and Ning Zhiheng stepped forward and grabbed Miao Yongyi's hand!
