Anti-Japanese War: Starting from Yaobai

Chapter 2977 The Infiltrator!
Boom boom boom!
Just as the Japanese dean and Li Ru finished their conversation and Li Ru was about to take his leave, there was a knock on the door.

"Come in!"

The dean made a casual remark, but unexpectedly, it was the guards who entered.

The guard said respectfully, "Director, four Imperial Army soldiers from the Special Higher Police want to stay at our hospital, and they wish to see you."

Upon hearing this, the hospital director frowned slightly, thinking to himself: What is the Special Higher Police doing in my hospital? Is the hospital full of Imperial Army soldiers and their friends? Could it be that they have something to do with me that requires the Special Higher Police to investigate?
But on the surface, he calmly said, "Okay, then let them in!"

Then he turned to Li Ru and said, "Mr. Li, please continue to refine the surgical plan. I'll go after I've finished dealing with things here."

Li Ru nodded and left the office first. Just as he was about to step out of the office, four repulsive-looking Special Higher Police agents brushed past him.

Li Ru instinctively felt that these four people were dangerous. This was his intuition as an underground party member.

He went out the door, but went to the office next door. There was no one in the office, because it was the time for hospital rounds.

Li Ru closed the door, walked a few steps to the wall, and gently pressed his ear against it, but could only vaguely hear some indistinct noises, unable to discern the specific content at all.

He frowned, his gaze sweeping around the room before finally settling on the stethoscope on the table.

Li Ru had an idea. He quickly walked to the table, picked up the stethoscope, pressed the tip of the stethoscope tightly against the wall, and inserted the other end into his ear.

At first, all he heard was a chaotic buzzing sound, but after Li Ru patiently adjusted the position of the stethoscope, the dean's slightly obsequious voice finally came through the stethoscope clearly into his ears: "What brings you four distinguished guests here? Our hospital will certainly do its best to cooperate."

A hoarse, somewhat arrogant voice rang out: "We're here in Songyuan on a secret mission. We need your cooperation to find us a quiet room for the night and to find us some clothes for ordinary Chinese people. We'll be leaving first thing tomorrow morning."

Li Ru murmured to himself, "The Special Higher Police are here on a special mission? What kind of mission could it be?"

The hospital director seemed hesitant, and after a moment of hesitation, he said, "The hospital is currently facing a shortage of beds, so this may be difficult."

At that moment, a high-pitched voice came: "Your Excellency Dean, I hope you can understand one thing: we are not discussing this with you now."

The Japanese dean sighed and could only say, "Alright, I'll think of something now!"

Then came the rustling of papers and hushed conversation, seemingly discussing the accommodations for the four spies.

Just then, Li Ru suddenly heard faint footsteps coming from outside the door. The sound grew louder and louder as it approached the office.

Li Ru quickly took the stethoscope off the wall and put it back on the table, deliberately making some slight clattering sounds as if he had just hung the stethoscope around his neck.

Almost at the same time that Li Ru finished this series of actions, the office door creaked open and two Japanese doctors walked in.

When they saw Li Ru standing in the office, they were taken aback, a hint of doubt flashing in their eyes. After all, this was their office, while Li Ru's office was on the other side of the corridor.

One of the Japanese doctors frowned and asked in broken Chinese, "Mr. Li, what are you doing here?"

Li Ru remained calm, bowed slightly, and forced a smile as he explained, "I'm so sorry, a soldier just complained of chest pain, and I didn't have my stethoscope with me, so I came to borrow it. But you weren't here, so I took it without permission. I'm truly sorry!" The two Japanese doctors exchanged a glance, then looked Li Ru up and down. Seeing his sincere expression, one of the doctors nodded and said, "It's all for the sake of the Imperial Army, so of course there's no problem. But you must return it quickly; we need it later."

Li Ru quickly nodded and bowed, saying, "Yes, yes, I'll go right away. Thank you for your understanding."

After saying that, Li Ru hurriedly left the office with his stethoscope.

After leaving the office, Li Ru breathed a sigh of relief. He first went to a wounded Japanese soldier and pretended to care for him before returning the stethoscope.

But at that moment, a bodyguard jogged over and said, "Dr. Li, the hospital director requests your presence."

"kindness!"

Li Ru responded and then went to the Japanese dean's office.

Li Ru arrived at the Japanese dean's office, knocked lightly on the door, and only after hearing a "come in" from inside did he push the door open and enter.

Upon entering, I saw the Japanese dean sitting behind his desk with a fake smile on his face.

"Mr. Li, there's something I need to trouble you with."

The Japanese hospital director stood up, feigning difficulty, and then said, "Those four Japanese soldiers from the Special Higher Police need to find a quiet place to stay for the night. I think your office is the only relatively quiet place in our hospital right now. Why don't you do me the trouble and vacate your office for them to stay for the night? They'll leave first thing tomorrow morning."

Li Ruxin pretended to be troubled and said, "Dean, as you know, my office is full of surgical plans and various medical materials, as well as some important medical records of the Imperial Army. If we move these out and they get lost, it may delay the Imperial Army's subsequent treatment."

The Japanese dean naturally knew this as well, and he also knew the importance of Li Ru.

However, he really couldn't think of any other way, because only Li Ru's office met the requirements of a Special Higher Police agent.

So he could only try to comfort him, saying, "Mr. Li, I understand your difficulties, but those four Imperial Army soldiers are not to be trifled with. We have to cooperate fully. Think of a way. You can move the documents and such to my office first, and I'll get others to help you. Is that alright?"

Li Ru's eyes darted around, and he seized the opportunity to probe, "Dean, I understand your difficulties, but these four Imperial Army soldiers have suddenly arrived. They're just staying one night, where can't they stay? Why not stay at the Imperial Army's barracks? They have complete facilities there. If all else fails, a hotel would be fine too. Why do they have to squeeze into our hospital?"

The Japanese dean shook his head helplessly and sighed, "I don't know either. What are they here for? They won't say, and we dare not ask. Don't think that just because you're Chinese, I can't afford to offend the Special Higher Police, even if I were Japanese. Do you understand?"

Li Ru felt that the dean genuinely didn't know, and felt slightly disappointed.

But on the surface, he still pretended to be compliant, nodding and saying, "Since the dean has said so, I can only do my best to do it. It's just that there are indeed a lot of things in this office, and I hope the dean can arrange a few more people to help me, otherwise I'm afraid I won't be able to finish tonight."

Upon hearing Li Ru's agreement, the Japanese hospital director smiled and quickly said, "No problem, no problem. I'll arrange for a few doctors to help you move your things and make sure the office is vacated as soon as possible."

But then the dean remembered something else and said, "Dr. Li, could you get some clothing made for ordinary Chinese people? Those four Imperial Army soldiers need it tomorrow morning. But don't expect them to return it. I'll pay you back for the clothes as a bonus!"

Li Ru said politely, "Dean, you're too kind. Without your help, I wouldn't be where I am today. I'll bring it to you tomorrow morning."

But Li Ru thought to himself, "If the Japanese devils want to wear Chinese clothes, they must be disguising themselves as Chinese. And judging from the current situation, the Japanese devils aren't coming for me, so they must be targeting the anti-Japanese brigade!"
