Chapter 729: The Contact Was Made
Although the team leader was the only foreigner approved by higher authorities to work here, and there was nothing wrong with him back then, plus he was also credited with the discovery of this place, it's better to keep a low profile in this chaotic time. People are restless and everyone is on edge, preferring to arrest the wrong person rather than let them go. He will suffer for a while, even if he doesn't get a severe beating.
Although the team leader had not experienced this special era, Zhou Wansheng and Gu Yin understood Duan Chunjie's meaning.
So Zhou Wansheng looked at the captain and said, "You take our people and Ayin back with you. Don't worry about me here. I definitely can't leave for the time being. As long as I don't leave this mountain, my safety won't be affected. If I really have to go out, I'll have someone take me. I don't need anyone with me for the time being."
The captain nodded upon hearing this: "Okay!" He wouldn't obey the employer's request, even if he didn't know the reason, to avoid causing trouble for himself.
Seeing this, Gu Yin looked at Duan Chunjie: "Then, Chief, shall we drive down ourselves and follow behind you?" Cough cough, maybe we'll even see some excitement on the way.
Duan Chunjie nodded upon hearing this: "We'll set off in ten minutes."
Gu Yin returned to the lab, packed her things, and took the local specialties with her. She then said to Zhang Ge, who was waiting there, "Senior brother, I'm going back to Beijing first. You guys keep an eye on the data on the computer. I need to take the originals and go back to apply for a patent. If you need anything, just contact me. If you can't reach me, I'll have my grandfather contact my family."
Zhang Ge nodded after thinking for a moment: "You just go back. The teacher is still here. He heard you were here and is on his way now. He also knows what happened here and agrees that you should go back now and not waste time here."
Gu Yin said with a hint of regret, "I won't be able to see the teacher again. Okay, I'll be going now. I need to go back and hand over the medicine for his illness. It can only be given to them after it's approved. Take good care of the teacher."
Gu Yin didn't plan to market this drug. After the higher-ups inspect it, it should be handed over to the authorities. It's considered a special drug.
When Gu Yin arrived at the parking spot, Duan Chunjie and Li Dalong were already there, with Li Dalong driving.
Gu Yin greeted them, followed the team leader to find a car, and then drove down the mountain behind their car.
On the other side, on the mountain road.
"Hey bro, you've been open for pretty long, it's already dawn. How about we switch spots? I can take over and we can exchange some energy, okay?"
Xiao Jie, who was already extremely irritated, shook his head with a gloomy expression upon hearing this: "No need, I'm not tired."
The four people in the car exchanged glances and fell silent.
At ten o'clock, the factory finally came into view, and his complexion visibly improved.
"We're finally here! After driving for so long, I'm practically falling apart from all the jolting!"
Seeing that Xiao Jie's complexion had returned to normal, the man smiled and said, "Indeed, my butt hurts! But brother, you're a great driver! Much better than me! Thanks for this time, I'll treat you to dinner later! Don't refuse!"
Xiao Jie nodded nonchalantly upon hearing this, thinking to himself that he would have flown away long ago, so what was the point of eating? However, he was in a good mood at the moment and was too lazy to say anything.
The car was parked in its usual spot, and the private man looked at Xiao Jie: "It's already past ten o'clock, how about we go to town for a meal? We'll treat you, brother. Are you free?"
Xiao Jie shook his head upon hearing this: "You guys go ahead, I'm not hungry. I'm going to the infirmary, and I have to go back up the mountain after I'm done. Maybe next time."
The man nodded, and the four of them turned and left.
Xiao Jie waited for a while, looked around at the busy workers, reached out and patted his shirt, the documents were still inside, and then walked towards the infirmary while rubbing his stomach.
Upon arriving at the infirmary, he saw workers receiving injections. Xiao Jie casually went to the doctor's office and, seeing two doctors inside, knocked on the door.
A male and female doctor in the room looked up. The male doctor raised his eyes slightly and asked, "Come in. What's wrong?"
"Doctor, I work at the mountain clinic. We're running out of medicine there, so my supervisor sent me down to tell you. Here are the medicines we're missing. Please take a look."
He handed a piece of paper to the doctor, explaining that the clinic was indeed short of medicine, and the prescription was genuine, but Director Fang hadn't come to approve and stamp it yet.
But this didn't stump him; stamping and signing were simple enough.
After examining the medicine, the male doctor nodded and said, "Dr. Zhang, take this to the storeroom and tell them to check the medicine against the prescriptions. See if anything is missing. If it is, call the city and have someone arrange for it to be delivered. You go there yourself. Put what you're doing aside; things on the mountain are more important."
The female doctor, Dr. Zhang, nodded: "Okay, I'll go right away!"
After everyone left, the male doctor closed the door and looked at Xiao Jie. Xiao Jie smiled and pointed to his chest: "Doctor, I'm a little carsick. Is there anything that can help? I have to go back up the mountain later."
The male doctor nodded: "Eating some oranges and smelling the orange peel can relieve motion sickness. There are a few orange trees in the backyard. Come on, I'll take you to pick some."
He opened the back door and went out, and Xiao Jie followed him.
There was no one in the backyard. Actually, it wasn't really a backyard; it was just a large open space against the mountain, surrounded by grass. There was a row of orange trees planted in the open space, but there were no oranges at all.
"Look at me, I'd completely forgotten! Even without oranges, the smell of orange leaves will do!"
Then, while picking the fruit, he asked in a low voice, "How is it?"
Xiao Jie, head down, also picked them: "I got them all, they're on my chest. The alarm has already sounded on the mountain, how are we going to get out? We need to hurry, or we won't be able to leave."
The male doctor nodded upon hearing this: "I'll arrange it right away. Don't go out; just wait here."
She handed him the orange leaves and resumed her normal voice: "Smell this and see if it works!"
Xiao Jie took it, lowered his head to smell it, and was about to speak when he felt a sharp pain in the back of his neck and fainted.
The male doctor immediately dragged the man into the bushes, then pulled out the manuscript from his pocket, glanced at it briefly, and found that it was indeed experimental data. After tidying it up, he put it back in his pocket, then returned to his office as if nothing had happened, and left the medical room to go to Ting Airport.
