The entertainment tycoon of the Republic of China

"April 1913, 4, sunny

Yesterday I attended the wedding of Xie Yan and Wen Heng, so the study was suspended for one day.I have met many new friends, and I am full of expectations for my future life in Hankou. "

……

"May 1913, 5, light rain

All the equipment needed for the laboratory has arrived, and some alumni with the same aspirations have been contacted, and we can start formal research immediately.

Xie Yan took me to a warehouse to identify some of the equipment. He didn't seem to know the function of many equipment, so I sorted them out for him.Xie Yan didn't tell me the source of these equipment, and I don't care, I just know that as a researcher, I am very lucky to have his support. "

……

"April 1913, 6, sunny

Today is a day off, and Xie Yan invited us to the Hankou Theater to watch the latest drama "The Legend of Huaxia Heroes". It was very shocking to see those familiar characters appearing in the same story.

It is a novel idea for characters from different books to break boundaries and communicate with each other, and I have a hunch that these stories will also be popular abroad. "

……

"July 1913, 7, overcast

I haven't had a good rest recently and suddenly fell ill.I went to see a doctor at the newly opened Hankou Public Hospital, and met Dr. Qi Xiuji who had met at the wedding banquet half a year ago.He is now the vice president of the hospital, and he is very prestigious. I am very happy to see that the people in the hospital can afford medicines. It would be great if all the people in China could do this in the future.

Another: Chinese patent medicine is very effective in treating colds, invented by a genius, and worth promoting. "

……

"November 1913, 11, heavy snow

This year's first snowfall, I received news from European friends that the war is coming, I don't know what impact it will have on China, I hope Xie Yan is ready.

The research on the engine has made a breakthrough, and it is expected to be put into large-scale production within a year or two. "

……

"July 1914, 1, sunny

Small-scale wars have broken out in Europe, and the foreigners in Hankou have also become agitated. Last time I went to see Xie Yan, he seemed to be planning to attack the racetrack.The war is coming, European countries will never give up China's resources, I hope Xie Yan can succeed..."

Xing Yu finished writing the last punctuation, closed the diary in his hand, and locked it carefully.

Unknowingly, he has been in Hankou for more than half a year. In the past six months, he has witnessed various changes in Hankou, witnessed Xie Yan's many methods and whimsical ideas, and he was grateful that he chose to come to Hankou countless times. .

In this place where countless ideas and cultures collide, he can feel that the land of Huaxia is gradually rejuvenating, and he is a participant in this vitality, and he is one of thousands of people with lofty ideals.

They will be changed now, and they will be remembered in the future. For Xing Yu, this is the highest belief and reward.

……

After arranging everything on the desk neatly, Xing Yu stood up meticulously, and was about to take a rest when he suddenly heard a loud noise from outside the door.

Xing Yu frowned, put on his coat and left the courtyard.

"Mr. Xing, are you still asleep?"

Guy Wen, who was in charge of protecting him, was squatting on the ground to save people. Xing Yu walked over and saw a middle-aged man lying on the ground, shaking and foaming at the mouth. It didn't look like an ordinary disease, but more like poisoning.

"What's up with him?"

"I don't know, this family lives nearby. I heard the voice calling for help just now, and I saw this when I went out."

The man was already unconscious, and Sheng Jingxin's body was still twitching. Several children surrounded him crying and calling him daddy, but it didn't help.

Xing Yu turned around and locked the courtyard door, "Let's carry him to the road together and call a car to take him to the hospital."

"This... then trouble Mr. Xing."

"It's important to save people."

While lamenting that Mr. Xie's friends are all kind-hearted people, the buddy worked with Xing Yu to help the man who fell on the ground.Fortunately, the hospital jointly opened by Mr. Xie and Xunxuan charged cheap prices and did not discriminate against Chinese people. A year or two ago, it would have been whimsical for rough people like them to go to foreign hospitals when they got sick.

……

Xing Yu called two rickshaws and took the man to the hospital with his buddies. After arriving at the hospital, he found that something was unusual.

It was already late at night, but the public hospital was crowded with people. Countless patients and their families crowded the hospital. The ward was in an emergency. Many people could only temporarily settle in the lobby. Most of the patients' symptoms were exactly the same as those of the men they sent.

"Doctor Qi!" Xing Yu hurriedly shouted when he saw Qi Xiuji who was in a state of desperation.

"Brother Xing? Why are you here? Could it be that you have also been recruited?!"

"What trick? Do you know what disease these patients have?"

Qi Xiuji wiped the sweat from his forehead, "It was artificially poisoned, it's okay...it's okay..."

"fine?"

"Brother Qi, how is the situation at the hospital?"

Xing Yu heard a familiar voice, turned his head to look, Xie Yan and Wen Heng hurried in from outside the hospital.

Qi Xiuji found an empty office and invited them in. Monk Xing Yuzhang was puzzled and followed after thinking about it.

"The number of patients is exploding. At present, the source of the poisoning cannot be determined. We can only treat as much as possible. If there is no preparation, I am afraid that the situation will be out of control."

Xie Yan said in a deep voice, "When we came, we had already informed the pharmaceutical factory to remove the stock, and the release of the antidote will be handed over to you. Be careful to keep the information secret for the time being. This time, we must find out all the people behind the scenes, otherwise there will be endless troubles. "

"Wait!" Xing Yu was confused, "Can you tell me what you are talking about? What is the source of the poison, what is the antidote? Is this a large-scale poisoning incident? But how did you know in advance?" What about the antidote?"

Xing Yu is currently one of the best researchers under Xie Yan, and he has gained absolute trust, and Xie Yan does not shy away from him.

"This is a new type of drug studied by foreigners in Hankou. Short-term use will cause convulsions and fainting symptoms. Long-term use can relieve it, but it is extremely addictive and can achieve the effect of mind control."

"We accidentally discovered this drug a year ago. We didn't start a warning. We secretly researched the antidote, just in case. It also disappeared in Hankou, but the drug processing plant and storage place have never surfaced, and we have never let down our vigilance."

"Unexpectedly, today, the people behind the scenes finally lost their composure."

Qi Xiuji didn't know much about the international situation, so he didn't understand the meaning of Xie Yan's words, "Why did they attack suddenly? Is there a good time recently?"

"It's not a good time, but if you don't make a move, I'm afraid there will be no chance at all."

Seeing that Qi Xiuji still didn't understand, Xing Yu, who had already figured out the cause and effect, helped to explain, "The situation in Europe is getting more and more tense. These forces stationed overseas have recently been shrinking to their own countries and preparing for war with all their might. Before the large forces leave, If you don’t want to waste the previous planning, you can only step up and take action.”

"That's why." Qi Xiuji suddenly realized, "Such a large-scale poisoning will inevitably arouse our suspicion, but they will evacuate soon, and they don't care about the subsequent impact. As long as we can use drugs to overwhelm our newly established medical system , damage the people's livelihood in Hankou, it is a success for them..."

"How cruel! How vicious!"

"Fortunately, we have developed an antidote..."

Wen Heng shook his head, "The antidote is one thing, and more importantly, find out the drug processing factories, otherwise they can continue to send drugs to other places in China except Hankou, and we are always one step behind, beyond our reach .”

"Where is the factory... hidden?" Xie Yan frowned, "It's a pity that we still don't have enough information about the internal affairs of the foreigners, so we can only place our hopes on the patrol side."

Xiang Yanlin left Xie Yan with a huge intelligence network, but the network that cannot be dynamically updated is ultimately beyond his reach. Xie Yan has tried to use the intelligence network to investigate drug-related matters many times this year, but he can only find out Some peripheral information.

It is said that this drug processing factory has a very high level of secrecy among foreigners, and only a few top-level people know the specific information.

Wen Heng held Xie Yan's hand, "Soldiers will block you, water will cover you with earth."

"Well, it's time to end the days when foreigners were domineering in China and no one could control them."

……

Xie Yan and Wen Heng confirmed the situation in the hospital and watched Qi Xiuji receive the first batch of antidote before leaving the hospital to go home.

It has been a few hours since I rushed out after receiving the news. The night was dark, the moon was in full swing, and there were still patients going to the hospital from time to time on both sides of the road.

Xie Yan couldn't imagine how hopeless Hankou would be today without the drug samples exposed by Li Tianwei a year ago.

Thinking of this, Xie Yan's heart became more determined. One day, all the forces that brought suffering to the land of China will have to pay the price!

……

Back in the Wen family compound, the butler left a lamp for the two of them. Several of the Wen family servants were also recruited and were sent to the hospital. Many people heard the movement outside and knew that this matter was not simple. sleep soundly.

Xie Yan comforted the people, and after entering the building, she immediately saw the maid beside Wen Yanhui standing in the corridor, as if she was waiting for someone.

"Xishu? What are you doing here, are you regretting it?"

Seeing Xie Yan and Wen Heng coming back, the servant girl was relieved, and ran over with tears in her eyes, "Second Young Master, Mr. Xiao Xie, Third Miss asked me to bring you something."

"Bring something?" Xie Yan had a bad premonition, "Where did Yan Hui go?"

"Miss San, Miss San went out alone shortly after you left."

Xie Yan's heart sank, "Why didn't you stop her?"

"I, I dare not..." Xishu murmured, "After Miss San came back last year, she has completely changed her appearance in private. She is even more powerful than Madam. She has her own ideas in her heart, and I dare not ask more questions. Multiple tubes..."

Xie Yan took a breath and turned around twice, "Yangui asked you to bring us something?"

"This, this."

Xie Yan took the note from Xishu's hand. The note was neatly cut and had a faint fragrance. On it was written an address in elegant handwriting, and there were several names of people who were not from China.

"Third Miss said, I hope you can trust her once, she said - 'This is the best chance'..."

"Miss San said, if she never comes back, let me, let me go to school with the money she left me..."

"Third Miss, she, she..."
