Spy Wars: Return of the Red Luan

Chen Jiehua's words were loaded with meaning, but the untrained firecracker wouldn't have been able to understand them.

"Can't you treat a gunshot wound? Don't those fake foreign doctors know how? I told you you're a fake!"

Did I say I couldn't?

"This gunshot wound requires the bullet to be removed, anesthesia, and anti-inflammatory drugs. One dollar isn't enough; you'll need to pay extra."

"How much more?" another person asked.

"Three oceans, a total of three oceans."

"Okay, you do it." The man who hadn't spoken until now, with sharp, dark eyes, said. This was most likely the team leader.

"okay!"

If they're willing to pay more, things are easy. Chen Jiehua skillfully performed local anesthesia, removed the bullet, administered anti-inflammatory medication, and bandaged the wound, all within half an hour.

"Wow, you've got some skills!"

"Team leader, this kid is even more awesome than Dr. He from the department!"

"That hand speed is so smooth, it doesn't look like acting. He must have really done a lot of bullet removal surgeries. We need to investigate thoroughly, he might be on the side of the Communist Party."

"Hey, brother, don't talk nonsense. I'm not a member of the Communist Party. The Communist Party doesn't have money to hire me."

The special agent team leader had been watching Chen Jiehua operate the equipment with great leisure, admiring his smooth and skillful movements. Hearing his subordinates and the doctor opposite him talking, he laughed out loud and slapped the firecracker on the head, saying, "Go find the Red Party up ahead, don't embarrass yourself here."

"What's your name, doctor?"

"I dare not accept such praise. I am Hua Feiye, a native of Shanghai."

"Where did you learn that skill of quickly retrieving bullets?"

"I'm pulling Shanghai, using the skills honed by my brothers in the 19th Route Army."

"So you're an anti-Japanese fighter, one of our own. Nice to meet you."

"I dare not accept such praise. Resisting Japan is the common responsibility of all Chinese people. We who study medicine can only help them treat gunshot wounds and alleviate their pain."

"It seems you're going to the front lines, Dr. Hua?"

"Yes, go see if the brothers of the 29th Army and the Central Army over there need a doctor."

"With Dr. Hua's consultation fees, those soldiers probably can't afford it."

"A true man has things he will do and things he will not do. How can we charge for treating our brothers who are defending our country on the front lines?"

"Then why did you ask us for such an expensive price just now!" Firecracker stubbornly refused to leave, unable to bear hearing this any longer.

"You guys aren't going to the front lines to fight the Japanese, but you're yelling at me like that on this train. Who else should I hire if not you?"

"Heh! You're really asking for it!"

"Firecrackers! Don't be rude!"

"Dr. Hua, I'm sorry, my brother was not disciplined properly and offended me."

"He Guang, take Dr. Hua back to rest."

"No need to trouble you, brother. If I may ask, what is the team leader's name?"

"Liu Shibai".

"Team Leader Liu, until we meet again."

"Until we meet again, Dr. Hua."

Chen Jiehua, carrying his medical kit, returned to the front carriage. There were no seats left. Thinking that they had already made contact, he decided to do the opposite and sit in their carriage.

Inside carriage number 1, Song Heguang asked, "Team leader, didn't you say this doctor was full of flaws? Why did you let him go?"

"A body full of flaws, when added together, equals no flaws; a body full of problems, when combined, equals no problems. Do you understand?"

"Huh? That's so profound." "A Red Party agent, have you ever seen anyone with such amazing medical skills? Besides, a doctor with such amazing medical skills would be treasured by both sides, how could they let him go out on his own?"

"Hey, team leader, he's back again."

"Team Leader Liu, I'm sorry, there are no seats available over there. It's quite a long journey from Nanjing to Tianjin. How about I just find a seat here? I hope I won't disturb you?"

"It's alright, it's alright. As long as Dr. Hua doesn't mind the noise, there are empty seats at the back. Please make yourself at home."

"Okay, thank you, Team Leader Liu."

After Chen Jiehua sat down at the very top, Baozhu tilted his head and said, "Hey, team leader, this fake foreign doctor is really not polite."

"They've really seen the world, stop looking down on them with your narrow eyes, go get back to work."

After sitting down, Chen Jiehua continued to close his eyes and rest.

On the way here, Chen Jiehua's amazing hearing actually overheard Liu Shibai and He Guang's conversation. This group leader is no simpleton; he actually discovered a lot of flaws in me and finally determined that I was not a member of the underground party based on my medical skills.

This person should be an unknown figure in the KMT, so why doesn't he know it? He's most likely using an alias.

His own weakness was that the suit was new. Chen Jiehua had thought it through long ago. Since it was a rare trip, he had to put on a show, so he specially bought a suit to save face. There was nothing wrong with that, right?
The fact that Chen Jiehua only had a medical kit and no suitcase when traveling was a deliberate deception on his part. In fact, Zhao Shiyu had prepared a suitcase for him when he left, but Chen Jiehua found a secluded spot on the road and put it into his spatial storage.

The real clues were hidden in the suitcase: the teacher's clothes and books.

Then there's the gun he deliberately tucked into his waistband? How did he even notice it through all those clothes?
While Chen Jiehua was thinking, the train stopped at Bengbu Station. There were many people on the platform, and these spies were busy again, observing the people on the platform and looking for the Red Party members.

Chen Jiehua simply leaned against the window and looked at the crowd on the platform.

It would have been better if I hadn't looked, because when I did, I actually saw a familiar face—the courier who had picked up the section chief when he was sent back to Wuhan.

The courier was completely unaware that he was being watched and was preparing to get into the car.

"Hey bro, give me a few packs of Fuliji roast chicken."

Chen Jiehua happened to see a vendor buying things at the platform, and in a moment of inspiration, he shouted loudly.

The traffic officer turned around, followed the sound, and saw Chen Jiehua, then Liu Shibai staring at him. He instantly realized that Chen was giving a warning! He turned and ran!

"Don't run! Chase after them!"

"Come on, I want three packs. Are they fresh?"

"Sir, I guarantee it's fresh. Take a sniff."

"how much is it?"

"Nine cents."

"Here, give me the rest of the money for a bag of sunflower seeds."

After Chen Jiehua finished buying roast chicken and melon seeds, the spy who had chased after them returned. "Team leader, we lost them."

"Trash, it's all trash!"

“Team leader, it’s not our fault. It was him. That fake foreign doctor shouted so loudly that the Red Party turned around and saw us. It was too fast.”

"Hey, hey, don't blame me! I'm just hungry and want to buy some roast chicken."

Liu Shibai sent the others away, then went to Chen Jiehua's cubicle, plopped down opposite him, and looked at Chen Jiehua.

"Hmm? Team Leader Liu, here, have one."

"Don't rush to eat, Dr. Hua. Look me in the eyes. I think you're doing this on purpose. You'd better give me a reasonable explanation."

"Team Leader Liu, do you know why I didn't go to Fujian with Commander Cai of the 19th Route Army?"

"I'm also wondering why the 19th Route Army would let such a skilled doctor go."

"But this has nothing to do with what just happened, right? Answer my question first." (End of Chapter)
