After Fu Xuelan completed this strange mission, he left Du Mansion and went directly to Li Xiulan.
This is the place where she feels most uneasy.
When she arrived, Lin Jiatai was sitting in front of the bed, feeding Li Xiulan meticulously.
She had no idea that this tall, tall, strong and brave young man could take care of patients in such a meticulous and considerate manner.
He actually took the time to go to the market, bought a chicken, slaughtered it cleanly, and stewed a pot of fragrant chicken soup.
He made rice with chicken soup and fed it to Li Xiulan. He used the palm of his hand to catch the chicken bones she spit out, and wiped the corners of her mouth with a towel from time to time. He was so meticulous and gentle. She couldn't help but think that even if they were a couple, they would still be together.
But that's it.
She said: "Taking care of patients is always troublesome. Jiatai, I didn't expect you to do such a good job."
Unexpectedly, Lin Jiatai blushed and just focused on feeding Li Xiulan without saying anything or looking at her.
Fu Xuelan noticed that even Li Xiulan, who had always been pale, blushed a little and lowered her eyes without looking at her.
She thought for a moment and soon realized that there must be many things that Lin Jiatai, a young man, was particularly embarrassed about and unwilling to mention when he had to take care of the young and beautiful Li Xiulan.
She looked around and saw that the room was quite neat and clean, and had obviously been tidied up carefully.
Several pieces of Li Xiulan's blood-stained clothes had been washed and were hanging on bamboo poles dripping with water.
She guessed that Lin Jiatai might have even bathed Li Xiulan, or at least wiped her. The large blood stains on her body were gone. She looked at them with a smile, feeling warm in her heart, and even felt some affection that came from nowhere.

15-17
She helped Lin Jiatai take care of Li Xiulan after eating, cleared the dishes, and helped her sleep. She also prepared some medicinal solution and left it for Lin Jiatai, and told him to continue injecting Li Xiulan tomorrow.
After that, they sat on the small bamboo chairs in the main room and looked at each other.
Their biggest worry is why Liu Richen was kidnapped and where is he being held now?
They all believed that this was done by the Japanese! But what did Japan want to do? How did the Japanese know that Comrade Liu was hiding here? They analyzed the entire situation over and over again, but still could not figure out the clues.
Lin Jiatai's face wrinkled up in distress, and he whispered: "What happened to Comrade Liu was because of my dereliction of duty."
Fu Xuelan patted his hand and comforted him, saying, "Don't blame yourself so much. The situation was indeed difficult to handle at that time, and you did your best."
Lin Jiatai looked back at the back room, "I hope she can remember something and help me find Lao Liu."
Fu Xuelan said: "Let's all do our best. I hope Lao Liu is safe and sound."
At this time, there was a knock on the door. Fu Xuelan got up and opened the door, only to see Gui Longhai standing outside the door, looking at her in surprise. In the blink of an eye, the surprise turned into surprise.
"Oh, Dr. Fu, you are here too." He said with great surprise.
"Chief Gui, come in quickly." She actually took his hand and pulled him in.
This was the second time that Dr. Fu held Gui Longhai's hand so affectionately. His heart started to tremble as if there was an electric shock.
He patted Lin Jiatai on the shoulder and looked around happily.
Fu Xuelan pushed a bamboo chair to him, and he almost couldn't sit down.
He looked around and said: "Mr. Lin, is Xiulan okay? Oh, I can see it. You take care of everything very well, which is really good. Fortunately, you are here, otherwise, I would be in trouble. Fu
Doctor, right?"
Lin Jiatai didn't care about these things. He only thought about how Old Liu was doing.
Fu Xuelan took his hand again and held it firmly, "Chief Gui, I still want to thank you for helping me find them."
Gui Longhai was extremely restrained, grinning and said: "It's still not perfect, I still haven't done it well. Doctor Fu, don't be anxious. Mr. Liu will be fine, he will be fine. Please believe me."
"
Fu Xuelan knew that he had good intentions and wanted to reassure herself, so she said, "It's so late and you haven't gone home yet?"
This sentence suddenly brought up a question in Gui Longhai's mind.
He whispered: "Doctor Fu, I just came from Team Leader Chen and others. They said, they said, a Japanese came to find you today, right?"
Fu Xuelan suddenly became alert, "Why do they want to monitor me? What else do they know?"
"No, no." Gui Longhai said hurriedly: "They are monitoring the Japanese and following you. They asked me to ask what the Japanese wants to do. Doctor Fu, can I ask?"
Fu Xuelan breathed a sigh of relief and said softly: "It's nothing. The Japanese wants to see Mr. Du to discuss business or something, and asked me to bring a message to Mr. Du. That's it."
"Dr. Fu, they said that the Japanese is a spy! They are watching him every day!"
"Actually, I guess he is not a good person. However, he wants to see Mr. Du, which has nothing to do with me."
"You, you still have to be careful and don't get involved by that Japanese."
"Chief Gui, thank you for reminding me, I will be careful." She looked around, "It's very late, I should go back."
"Then, I'll see you off. I'm driving the car. It'll be quick."
After that, Fu Xuelan went to the back room to see Li Xiulan and saw that she was asleep. When she came out, she gave Lin Jiatai a few words and then went out with Gui Longhai. After his repeated invitations, she finally got into his car.
15-18
It was indeed late at night. There were almost no people on the street. Although Shanghai is hot in summer, it is cooler at this time.
Gui Longhai drove the car and wanted to say something to Dr. Fu. But his heart was in chaos and there was always something he couldn't say.
It was originally quite a long journey, but somehow, I crossed the Suzhou River very quickly. After crossing the Suzhou River, I arrived at Gongji Hospital in the blink of an eye, and not far further was Dr. Fu's home.
He looked at Fu Xuelan so reservedly, even looking like he was begging eagerly.
Fu Xuelan looked back at him and said softly: "Chief Gui, I'm here. Thank you for seeing me off."
"Doctor Fu," he blurted out. He just had a feeling that if he didn't say what was in his heart today, he would never have the chance to say it again.
He murmured and finally said: "Doctor Fu, you...you know how I feel, right?"
Fu Xuelan saw what he meant and said softly: "Chief Gui, I know."
"Then, tell me, am I okay as a person? Am I still... tolerable?"
"You are a good person, I know."
"Look, look, you are... a person there. If you think I am okay, I... I also want to be a person there, just like you. Do you think I can do it?"
Fu Xuelan did understand what he meant, very clearly. He was even willing to join her organization, which showed how deep his feelings for her were. This was what touched her.
She held his hand, looked at him seriously, and said, "I'll call you Long Hai from now on, okay?"
"Okay, okay! I've wished you had called me that for a long time!"
"Long Hai, I don't know what will happen in the future. This is the truth. We can only wait and see. I also want to tell you that what we do is very dangerous and may even cost you your life. Join us.
Organization is by no means a simple sentence. However, I still want to tell you that I value you as a person, and I value your feelings even more. I say this very seriously. However, I still want to say what I just said.
Well, I don’t know what will happen in the future. Let’s see, okay?”
"Okay, okay, let's see. I understand what you are saying, you just want to test me for a while, right?"
Fu Xuelan couldn't help laughing and said, "Okay, let's call it a test. Long Hai, I'm getting off the car."
Gui Longhai said hurriedly: "Dr. Fu, please believe that I can withstand the test!"
Fu Xuelan finally left. Gui Longhai sat alone in the car and didn't move for a while.
He was very excited, as if there were waves rolling in his chest. Oh, Dr. Fu values my feelings very much, which means that she is also very serious about me, but it will only take a while to test.
He thought, I must withstand the test! I have been living in Shanghai for so long, why don’t I understand this little bit of truth?
To put it calmly, at least for now, Gui Longhai is still the secular Gui Longhai. Let’s see what happens to him in the future.
15-19
The night was indeed very deep, but Liu Richen and Lai Dunde, who were locked in a closed room in Guangfu Lane, did not fall asleep.
The lights in the room had long been turned off. There were a few thin cracks in the walls, letting in a few lines of outside light.
Lidunde leaned into the gap in the wall several times to look out. The man guarding them fell on the bed next to the door and was already asleep.
Liu Richen was lying on the only single bed, while Lai Dunde was sitting on the floor next to the bed. Their heads were very close to each other. The walls were not soundproof, so their voices were very low, almost touching each other's ears.
"Do you know who they are?" Liu Richen asked softly.
"I guess they are Japanese. Their movements and the way they speak are different from the Chinese."
"Mr. Lai, why did they arrest you?"
"I just don't know! I've asked them many times why they want to arrest me! If you want money, I will give it to you without any counter-offer. But they didn't say a word, and they didn't say anything when asked! They were not kidnapping
!”
"Do you have any disputes or troubles with them?"
"No! I have nothing to do with them! What about you? Why did they arrest you?"
"I don't know either, I don't know at all! I just came from Peiping a few days ago. I fell ill when I came here. I stayed at a friend's house. I was having an attack this morning and I was dragged here by them. You said, maybe it was
What’s the reason?”
"Mr. Liu, I've been living here for five days, and I've been thinking about this problem every day, but I can't figure it out!"
"Mr. Du has never offended the Japanese?"
"No! I manage Mr. Du's business, and we have nothing to do with the Japanese. Mr. Du doesn't want to have anything to do with the Japanese, so how could he offend them!"
