Li Guozhong looked at him and sneered.

"If there weren't any playing cards or official seals inside this metal box, why would you hide it so well—"

I casually opened the lid of the tin box, and a bunch of random snacks were scattered on the ground.

Li Guozhong was stunned for a moment, and he turned the iron box over and over in disbelief.

Seeing that the tin box was indeed empty, he hurriedly squatted down to pick up the small snacks from the ground.

He muttered to himself as he searched, "Impossible, it must be in there, it must be..."

The division commander laughed heartily.

"Li Guozhong, you still call me stupid? If I really left the token and the company seal there, would I need to come all the way here waiting for you to make your move?"

The regimental commander quickly pinned the man to the ground, twisted him behind his back, and handcuffed him, not sparing his men as well.

"Snapped!"

"Now you're scared? Too late!" The regimental commander slapped the idiot underling on the head without any politeness.

"Reporting to the division commander, all of Li Guozhong's men, including those with him, have been arrested."

Upon hearing this, Li Guozhong became furious.

"You can't treat me like this! Do you know who I am? I... I have powerful connections. If you dare to do this...

The division commander waved his hand, and the regimental commander immediately understood.

A stinky rag, pulled out from who-knows-where, was stuffed into Li Guozhong's mouth before he could utter another word, nearly suffocating him from the stench.

"Keep a close eye on them, don't let any Tom, Dick, or Harry get close to them and harm our important... cough cough, understand?"

The division commander gave the regimental commander a wink, and he immediately understood, nodded, and led his team out.

Soon, only the division commander remained in the office.

He closed the door tightly, drew the curtains, and only after confirming that everything was alright did he walk to the bookshelf.

Pulling open the book next to the metal box that Li Guozhong had just popped out, another metal box exactly the same as the one before appeared.

However, this iron box was much smaller than the one Li Guozhong had just received, about the size of an adult man's palm.

The division commander carefully opened the small iron box, and what came into view were the hand tag and official seal that Li Guozhong had been looking for.

Once he was sure the item was still there, he carefully put it back in its original place, and also restored the position of the fake metal box next to it.

"I never expected that at the last minute, we would really have to send this old guy out. Otherwise, that traitor might have actually found us."

The next day.

When Jiang Yuyan arrived at the hospital, she had just entered the ward when she saw her teacher and a large group of people inside, which startled her so much that she wanted to pull her feet back.

As a result, he was stopped by the sharp-eyed division commander.

"Comrade Yanzi is here? Come in, come in quickly, I just wanted to tell you about Elder Qi."

Immediately, Jiang Yuyan, who had wanted to refuse to go in, obediently walked into the ward and stood obediently in front of her teacher.

"Commander, you're back? I heard you were going to be gone for five or six days."

"Haha, isn't this just a coincidence? I forgot I had something to take care of at the base halfway there, so I turned back."

Jiang Yuyan smiled on the surface, but secretly rolled her eyes in her heart.

Do you want to hear this? Would you believe it if it happened to you?

Fortunately, the division commander didn't intend to make her stand and listen to him for a long time, and had someone bring her a stool to sit down.

"Comrade Yanzi, it's like this, the purchasing team did encounter some problems outside, but the problems are not serious. Fortunately, Elder Qi went there and helped the purchasing team provide medical care to the local indigenous people."

"So, I didn't expect things to be so coincidental, that there was a large-scale outbreak of fever and colds in that area."

Then, as if remembering something, the division commander took out a piece of paper and gave it to her.

"By the way, Old Qi said you might not believe it, so he asked me to give you this piece of paper. You'll understand once you see it."

Jiang Yuyan took the paper, opened it, glanced at it, and her brows furrowed more and more as she read.

The division commander and Ling Wenchen felt a chill run down their spines.

What did Old Qi write? Has something happened?

Jiang Yuyan was unaware of their thoughts, and quickly asked Wu Lan to call the dean over.

The teacher was curious.

"Comrade Yanzi, why are you calling for the dean? Is there something wrong with the paper that Elder Qi gave you?"

No way?

He had taken a look at it several times before, but apart from the characters that looked like scribbles, he couldn't see anything wrong with it.

Jiang Yuyan shook her head.

"The paper is fine; the problem is that the hospital might not have enough of the large quantity of herbs my master requested."

That's the real problem.

Although most of Master Qi's requests are for basic herbs, the quantity is so large that it's unclear whether the clinic can provide them.

moment,

Wu Lan rushed over with the dean, almost making the old dean breathless.

"Oh dear, comrade, you run so fast, how can an old man like me keep up—"

Before he could react, Jiang Yuyan pulled him over again and shoved a piece of paper into his hand.

"Dean, my master urgently needs these herbs. Do you think the health center can gather as much as it can? Give us as much as you can, and he might need much more than this."

The dean narrowed his eyes, put on his reading glasses, and carefully examined the contents of the paper. The more he read, the more alarmed he became.

"Comrade Yanzi, is your master sure he didn't make a mistake?"

This is ridiculous! They're treating the clinic like a wholesale market!

Jiang Yuyan was a little embarrassed. "Ahem, Dean, my master didn't write it wrong. Just give it to me as you see fit."

The dean glared at her.

"Is that for someone else? What has happened to Elder Qi this time? Why does he urgently need such a large quantity of medicinal herbs?"

There were too many kinds of herbs, and it was impossible to tell what they could be used for in the yard at a short time. So the head nurse was instructed to bring out all the herbs with a few spare nurses.

The division commander and the others were completely bewildered.

"Uh, Comrade Yanzi, what's your master up to? Why does he need so many herbs?"

The division commander wanted to stop it, but he didn't dare.

Everything in their base is rationed; although there are some surpluses, they don't have the generosity to give them all away.

Jiang Yuyan also thought of this and felt it was necessary to explain it to them.

"My master suspects that some people in that area have not just a common cold or fever, but a contagious viral infection."

This is also known as a highly contagious cold. It spreads quickly and its symptoms are high fever and cough, which are very similar to those of the common cold.

The difference is that, since the cold is highly contagious, if one person gets it, everyone around them will also be affected.

It basically spreads from one person to ten, from ten to a hundred, and from one person to another. In the end, it might even spread throughout the entire village.

If the area is large, the infection will almost certainly spread to the surrounding areas as well.

However, in border areas, it's normal for a village to have no residents forty or fifty kilometers. The saying "vast land, sparse population" is not just a figure of speech.

"What?! Another infectious disease?" the division commander exclaimed in surprise.

He's really stressed right now. The moment he hears the word "contagious," he immediately thinks of all the things Zhou Wuzhong did, and his scalp tingles.

Jiang Yuyan quickly explained,

"Commander, don't worry, this is completely different from the virus that Zhou Wuzhong experimented with on humans. They are not even in the same league."
