A large number of people were standing in the hospital corridor, all gathered around the door of a ward, talking amongst themselves, creating a lively scene.

Song Yueying didn't pay attention to what the others were saying; she couldn't help but frown at the sight. The first rule of survival from her previous life was: avoid crowded places.

Qi Yanjue's ward was the last one at the front; to get back to his ward, he had to go through the crowd.

For safety's sake, Song Yueying decided to wait until the crowd dispersed before going to the ward.

As Song Yueying looked around for a place to sit, a sharp female voice rang out, "This foreign devil is cursing us! He must be a spy, he must be a spy."

"Call the police and have him arrested, before he gets away."

"Yes, yes, arrest him."

"Damn foreign devils, spies, how dare they curse us! They must be arrested!"

"The nurse is right, this foreign devil is definitely a spy. Arrest him and send him to the police station. We absolutely cannot let him get away."

Song Yueying's brow twitched. A spy, a foreign devil!

There are indeed many spies and agents in this era, but... is it really so blatant for foreigners to personally act as spies?

This is unbelievable! I have to go see it.

At this moment, Song Yueying had forgotten her survival rules and strode towards the crowd. Just as she squeezed through the crowd and reached the door, she heard a terrified shout from Devon.

"What are you doing? Help! Help me!"

"Help! Someone, please help me! God! I'm dying, who will save me? God!"

The foreigner in the ward was screaming for help.

While shouting for help, he insisted that he meant no harm.

He came to the hospital for treatment because he was sick, and his translator can testify to that. The translator isn't with him right now, but will testify on his behalf when he returns.

He also told everyone not to hurt him, that he was not a bad person, and that he had been invited to help the country solve its problems.

Unfortunately, he spoke in German, and no one present could understand him.

Unable to understand what the foreigner was saying, the group started chattering amongst themselves, "What is this foreigner saying? Is he gesturing with his hands because he wants to fight us?"

"Fighting us? You're kidding me."

Upon hearing this, everyone burst into laughter.

The nurse's voice rang out again, "That foreign devil is cursing at us again, saying he's very powerful and we definitely can't beat him."

"Those damned foreign devils, they killed so many of our compatriots. Now they come here to spy on us, curse us, and provoke us. I'll beat them to death."

A man angrily shouted and swung his fist at the foreigner standing by the hospital bed.

"My God!" the foreigner screamed, collapsing onto the hospital bed.

"Stop!" Song Yueying called out to stop them, pushing aside the woman blocking her way and walking over.

The woman turned around angrily, only to see a slender figure walk past her and stand between the man and the foreigner sitting on the hospital bed.

The man who made the move lowered his eyes, saw that it was a woman, and his face immediately darkened.

Seeing Song Yueying shielding the foreigner behind her, the man glared at her angrily and shouted, "Who are you? Why are you stopping me from fighting the foreigner?"

When the nurse saw Song Yueying, a sinister glint flashed in her eyes. She also questioned loudly, "Why are you helping this foreign devil? Helping a foreign devil is helping a spy."

"Spies are enemies of the people, they are reactionaries, and you are a reactionary too."

Upon hearing the nurse's words, the onlookers' gazes immediately fell upon Song Yueying. Their eyes were filled with anger, wariness, and a hint of curiosity.

Song Yueying turned her head to look at the nurse. Ah, an acquaintance!

No wonder that sharp voice sounded familiar; it was her. She hadn't indulged her in Qi Yanjue's hospital room, and naturally she wouldn't now.

"You say he's a spy, what evidence do you have to prove he is?" Song Yueying asked calmly.

The nurse said, "He's a foreign devil; he's a spy."

"Just because he's a foreigner, does that mean he's a spy?" Song Yueying asked again, "Who gave you that judgment?"

Although the country was not yet open to foreign trade, import and export trade was already underway. According to what the foreigner just said, he was invited to help the country solve its problems.

Song Yueying was certain that the foreigner was an engineer.

It's likely that a state-owned enterprise manager bought foreign machinery, and when the machinery malfunctioned, he asked a foreign engineer to repair it.

In such cases, the government would typically pay a substantial fee, as there was no warranty at that time.

“Yes, he’s a foreigner, he’s a spy.” The man echoed the nurse’s words, “It’s not normal for a foreigner to appear here, there must be something wrong.”

An older woman chimed in, "That's right. If he's not a spy, why isn't he in his own country? Why is he here?"

The man continued, "He was just cursing at us and wanted to fight us."

"Who told you that what he just said was an insult or that he wanted to fight you?" After saying that, Song Yueying glanced at the nurse meaningfully.

The man and the woman both looked at the nurse, their meaning clear.

The nurse felt a little guilty under the stares of the man and the woman, but then she remembered that no one could hear what the foreigner was saying, so she felt better.

He forced himself to say, "He was just cursing at us and gesturing with his hands as if he wanted to fight us. He's a spy; he's here to cause trouble."

"Heh." With a cold laugh, Song Yueying glanced around at everyone and said calmly, "He didn't insult you, nor did he want to fight you."

“He was scared by you and was screaming for help. He was gesturing with his hands because you couldn’t understand what he was saying, so he could only use gestures to express himself.”

"Also, he came to help us solve problems, not to cause trouble as you said."

Song Yueying said the last sentence while looking at the nurse.

Everyone was taken aback, exchanging bewildered glances. Then they looked at Song Yueying and the foreigner sitting on the hospital bed behind her.

Who is this woman?

Why is she protecting the foreign devil?

"Furthermore, how did this woman know that the foreign devils weren't spies? That they weren't here to cause trouble? Did she understand what the foreign devils were saying?"

"Make way, make way..." Several people squeezed through the crowd and rushed into the ward, only to be stunned by the large number of people inside.

A tall man rushed to the bedside and looked at the foreigner sitting on it. He asked anxiously in German, "Mr. Will, are you alright?"

Upon seeing the tall man, Will smiled and repeatedly said that he was finally back, otherwise he would have been scared to death.

Seeing so many people in the ward, the tall man gestured to his men to ask everyone to leave the ward.

Soon only the tall man and his entourage remained in the ward. Will's gaze swept over everyone.

“What about that brave and beautiful girl?” Will asked.
