Chapter 202 Special Operations Bureau Nine
Without wasting any more time, the group got into the car and headed to the city hospital.
Jiang Wen was jolted awake halfway through the journey, rubbed his neck, and asked, "Auntie, what happened to me?"
Jiang Ruzhen calmly replied, "You were almost bitten by a poisonous snake just now. Your Uncle Lu had no choice but to knock you unconscious to save you."
"Oh, thank you, Uncle Lu." Jiang Wen quickly stood up and bowed to Lu Mingzheng.
Lu Mingzheng had something on his mind, so he didn't say anything, but simply helped Jiang Wen up and sat him down to the side.
He was in a state of turmoil, hesitating whether he should really report Jiang Ruzhen's matter.
Based on his past behavior, there was no room for hesitation in this matter; it had to be reported.
But now that Jiang Ruzhen's safety is involved, he has to think things through more thoroughly than he can.
Upon arriving at the hospital, Xiao Liu was rushed to the emergency room, and everyone stood guard at the entrance.
Two hours later, the emergency room door finally opened.
Director Zhong came out and smiled slightly at everyone.
"We have successfully completed our mission and the person has been rescued."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Lu Mingzheng wanted to take Jiang Ruzhen and Jiang Wen back with him.
But Director Zhong intercepted them, mysteriously pulling Lu Mingzheng aside.
"Um, Commander Lu, could I ask you if we could share some of the nutrient solution developed by your air force base with our hospital?"
"No, this is top secret. I wouldn't take this risk if it weren't for saving lives being the priority," Lu Mingzheng refused decisively.
Director Zhong paused for a moment, then nodded and said, "That's right. The country values the life of every soldier, so how could we not share such good things with everyone?"
"I overstepped my bounds; this thing would definitely be extremely difficult to mass-produce. If it weren't for my professional habits, I would never have made such a request. Please forgive me, Chief Lu."
Lu Mingzheng replied sullenly, "This matter involves a top-level state secret, so please don't spread it."
Director Zhong nodded in understanding, then left with his hands behind his back and his body hunched over.
Lu Mingzheng felt terrible. He knew that the spiritual spring in Jiang Ruzhen's hands could save the lives of many brothers on the battlefield, but he dared not take the risk.
A common man is innocent, but possessing a treasure is a crime.
If the price of handing this over is Jiang Ruzhen's life, then he would rather bear the sin himself.
But what about all the stuff in Jiang Ruzhen's space?
After handing it in, how can we minimize the danger to Jiang Ruzhen?
He rubbed his temples, feeling a headache coming on, still unable to figure out what to do.
With everything settled at the hospital, Yang Yu drove everyone back home.
Upon arriving in Luoshi, Jiang Wen and Jiang Zhengxiao, husband and wife, met again and burst into tears.
"You silly child, how could you dare to run away from home without saying a word?" Zhou Qing scolded Jiang Wen, still shaken.
Jiang Zhengxiao also hugged the mother and son and shed tears, "Alright, alright, the child is back safely, so don't scold him anymore."
We were both at fault in this matter, and we should explain it to Xiaowen properly.
Jiang Wen was still confused and didn't know what was going on.
Jiang Zhengxiao and his wife then recounted their entanglement with Jiang Ruzhen, with Zhou Qing emphasizing that she and Jiang Ruzhen are now good friends.
It was also a firm superior-subordinate relationship. She had no prejudice against Jiang Ruzhen at all and even said that she would work hard for Jiang Ruzhen in the future.
With tears in his eyes, Jiang Wen looked at Jiang Ruzhen and asked, "Auntie, is what my parents said true? I only believe you now."
Zhou Qing and Jiang Zhengxiao each patted Jiang Wen on the back.
"You silly child, would we lie to you?"
Jiang Wen rubbed his nose and pouted, "Haven't you lied to me enough already?"
The couple was so angry with Jiang Wen that they almost fainted, and the whole family turned their attention to Jiang Ruzhen.
Jiang Ruzhen waved her hand dismissively, "Xiaowen, your mother and I aren't exactly best friends..."
As soon as she finished speaking, Zhou Qing's eyes widened.
“But I’ll definitely become good friends with your mom in the future.” This heavy breathing made Zhou Qing nervous for a moment, and she gave Jiang Ruzhen a reproachful glare.
The two stared at each other for a while, then smiled at each other.
Jiang Wen looked left and right, then scratched his head and laughed.
The family was safe and sound. They said goodbye to Yang Yu and prepared to return to Beijing.
Before leaving, Jiang Ruzhen bought Yang Yu several boxes of gifts to thank him for his help, but Yang Yu refused to accept them no matter what.
The eldest brother was still eyeing him covetously; how could he possibly take advantage of his sister-in-law?
"Sister-in-law, don't be so polite. I should thank you for giving me such a great contribution this time. We wiped out an entire domestic smuggling industry chain in one fell swoop."
The rewards from above will certainly be substantial. Besides, you're my sister-in-law; your affairs are the boss's affairs. And the boss's affairs are the affairs of us brothers.
Since that's what they've already said, Jiang Ruzhen had no choice but to give up.
Seeing that everyone was exhausted from their journey, Lu Mingzheng booked a hotel for them to rest and recuperate.
After packing up the next day, I drove back to Beijing.
Throughout the journey, Jiang Ruzhen sensed that Lu Mingzheng was preoccupied, and after returning to Beijing, he seemed even more restless.
She led her people back to the small courtyard house, closed the door, and asked, "Lu Mingzheng, what's wrong with you? Don't keep it to yourself, tell me."
Lu Mingzheng sighed and spoke.
"Ah Zhen, have you ever heard of Special Operations Bureau Nine?"
Jiang Ruzhen was bewildered and shook her head, "I don't know."
Lu Mingzheng reorganized his thoughts before speaking slowly.
"They are all people with superpowers. Some can control fire, some can control wind, and some can control lightning. Their leader is an old madman who is proficient in Qimen Dunjia and the I Ching."
But these people are the pillars of the nation, and they are part of the most mysterious organization in the motherland.
They have turned the tide and saved our country from disaster on several major occasions, and I have been fortunate enough to fight alongside them a few times.
Each of them possesses extraordinary abilities; in the eyes of us ordinary people, they are like gods. If I hand over what you retrieved...
"I'm afraid you'll also be taken in by the state, and then you won't have control over many things."
"Huh? There really is such an organization in this world?" Jiang Ruzhen was shocked.
Lu Mingzheng was amused and annoyed by Jiang Ruzhen's reaction. "Is this what you should be focusing on? Jiang Ruzhen, I'm talking to you about something serious, can't you be serious for once?"
Jiang Ruzhen tilted her head to look at him and reached out to smooth his furrowed brows.
"I thought you had something bothering you these days. If it's this, then you can finally put your mind at ease."
If I am truly fortunate enough to contribute to my country, I will do so without hesitation.
She spoke with such certainty that it took Lu Mingzheng quite a surprise.
"Ah Zhen, how come your ideas always surprise me?"
Jiang Ruzhen chuckled. In her previous life, she loved reading novels to pass the time when she had nothing to do. The world of online novels was much more exciting than the world Lu Mingzheng described.
She had also thought how wonderful it would be if she could become one of them, so that her second chance at life wouldn't have been in vain.
This is like a pillow being delivered to someone who's just fallen asleep; the opportunity has arrived.
If she becomes a government official in the future, who would dare to mess with her business?
She'll definitely be a "red-hat merchant" (a term referring to someone with connections to the government) in the future, doing business under the protection of the state. If she doesn't get rich, who will?
