Chapter 16 A Bound-Foot Housewife in the Republican Era (Sixteen)



Shen Yuwen looked at Xu Shengtian with some worry in his eyes: "Now that I think about you being shot, nothing feels right?"

Xu Shengtian looked at him with icy eyes, "What do you think is going on?"

“Among our people, there’s probably a mole sent by that Zhong family.” Shen Yuwen said decisively, “Only our own people know about Dean Fang’s drug distribution channels. How could outsiders possibly know?”

Xu Shengtian chuckled, "Yes."

When she looked up at Shen Yuwen again, she said coldly, "Since there is a traitor in the family, it is not appropriate to keep the medicine in the warehouse. Staff Officer Shen, you and Dean Fang will move the anti-inflammatory medicine that was delivered to a safe place in a while."

Xu Shengtian instructed: "This batch of medicine is worth 100,000 US dollars, and it is extremely rare and expensive. We must not suffer any losses."

Shen Yuwen immediately replied, "Yes, Commander!"

...

That afternoon, Shen Yuwen began to transfer the medicine. He tried to find out the source of the recent batches of medicine from Dean Fang, but the old man was too old to be fooled.

Shen Yuwen was afraid of probing too deeply and exposing himself, so he turned his attention to another nurse who came with Dean Fang. He didn't dare to go to Bai Yan.

Compared to Dr. Bai, Nurse Xiaoqin seemed much more naive.

Shen Yuwen's gentle and refined manners, coupled with his status as a college student, made it easy for him to win the favor of girls among a group of roughnecks.

“Penicillin is so expensive. Even if the General had emptied his pockets, the Dean couldn’t get much of it before. This time, Dean Fang actually managed to get so much. I think it’s God protecting Fengyi,” Shen Yuwen sighed.

"It's not that God is protecting us, it's that Dr. Bai is protecting us! Advisor Shen, those anti-inflammatory drugs were all cultivated by Dr. Bai and his students in petri dishes, and they're a thousand times cheaper and faster than before!"

"It's true what they say, comparisons are odious. Don't underestimate Dr. Bai just because she's young and a girl; she's incredibly capable!"

"What?" Shen Yuwen looked at Xiaoqin with some surprise.

Xiaoqin suddenly bit her tongue, covered her mouth, and looked like she had said something wrong: "Chief of Staff Shen, just pretend you didn't hear that. Our dean doesn't allow us to talk about this outside."

Shen Yuwen smiled and said, "I think you're just joking with me, little girl. How old is that Dr. Bai? Could he possibly do something like this?"

"Yes, yes, I was just kidding!" Xiaoqin said, looking relieved.

Seeing her like this, Shen Yuwen made up his mind and soon sent a secret message to her.

A few days later, he received a reply from the other party, asking him to take Bai Yan to Xicheng.

Burning the deciphered cipher, Shen Yuwen's lips curled into a smile: What is a hundred thousand US dollars? Taking her to the Zhong family in Xicheng, he can get back his wife and children, and endless riches and glory.

...

That night, after changing Xu Shengtian's dressing, Bai Yan went back to her room to rest. However, as soon as she entered her room, a gun was pressed against her lower back.

"Don't move." It was Shen Yuwen: "Dr. Bai, I don't want to kill you. As long as you stay quiet and listen to me, I will get you out of here safely."

Bai Yan raised her hand and nodded, indicating her compliance.

The two men went out of the tent together, and Shen Yuwen's men drove two jeeps and a truck, preparing to leave the position.

"Chief of Staff Shen, where are you going in the middle of the night?" the night watchman asked.

"You don't need to worry about what the commander-in-chief ordered, just keep watch." Shen Yuwen didn't even get out of the car, but simply raised his chin and ordered, "Let them pass."

"yes."

The barriers at the intersection were removed, and Shen Yuwen breathed a sigh of relief. However, the driver in front did not start his vehicle at that moment.

"Are you driving? Why aren't you driving?" Shen Yuwen urged.

"Officer, the engine of this car seems to be broken; it's not making any noise!" the driver said.

Shen Yuwen cursed under his breath, "Why did this have to happen now of all times?"

"Let me see." He opened the car door and was about to get out when a group of men suddenly rushed out from both sides of the road: "Put down your guns and don't move!"

The people in the truck and the other jeep were all subdued. This change startled Shen Yuwen. Knowing that he had been exposed, he reacted quickly and immediately pulled Bai Yan out of the car.

"Let me leave here, or I'll kill her!"

Shen Yuwen pointed the gun at Bai Yan's head and shouted to the surroundings, "Xu Shengtian, I know you're here, come out!"

Xu Shengtian emerged from the back of the truck, his face icy cold: "I can let you go, but you must let her go. You know my character; I'm a man of my word."

Shen Yuwen chuckled: "After all these years as brothers, of course I know what kind of person you are."

"Ke Shengtian, I have no choice. My wife and children are in Zhong's hands. I can only help him."

"Either I die with her, or you let me take her away!"

He knew what kind of person Xu Shengtian was; this woman could make inexpensive anti-inflammatory drugs, and she could save tens of thousands of Chinese people.

Unlike warlords like Zhong Rentao who only cared about power, Xu Shengtian had a strong sense of righteousness.

If you're a good person, then you deserve to be bullied.

"I don't want your medicine anymore. I just want to take her with me. Get me a car right now, or I'll die with her," Shen Yuwen said.

Xu Shengtian's eyes churned with dark emotions. He waved his hand ruthlessly and ordered in a cold voice, "Go and prepare the car."

However, the next moment, Bai Yan, who was being held hostage by Shen Yuwen, suddenly pulled out a scalpel from her sleeve and stabbed herself in the back. Shen Yuwen, in pain, immediately raised his gun.

With a loud "bang!", a bullet struck him right between the eyebrows, and he quickly fell to the ground, his eyes wide with disbelief.
