Shanghai Mystery
墨書 Inktalez
The Mei Yu Season in the Shanghai Bund always inexplicably stirs a sense of unease in people's hearts.
This humid and sticky weather not only dampens spirits but also draws crowds into the fray.
Suddenly, a group of police officers from the precinct burst into Guangci Hospital. Since this hospital was established by British missionaries, the officers dared not act recklessly, standing obediently in the courtyard, waiting for their superior to negotiate with the hospital administration.
Tang Wan was perched on the windowsill of the second floor, watching the lively scene with great interest.
The door behind her swung open with a loud bang as Bao Zhu rushed in, her nurse's cap nearly falling off. She leaned against the doorframe, breathless, and said, "Wan'er, hurry! Take that patient from Nineteen Ward down to the basement and hide him!"
"Why?" Tang Wan was reluctant to leave the excitement behind, still wanting to see more.
Bao Zhu's face turned crimson with urgency as she hurried over and pushed Tang Wan toward the exit. "Those police officers are after the patient in Nineteen Ward! They say he's a Revolutionary Party member. But he was entrusted to us by the director for treatment. If something happens, it won't be good for any of us. We all have to go out for inspection. You're new here; no one will notice you. Hurry!"
After this long string of words, Bao Zhu gave Tang Wan a strong shove, sending her darting out like an arrow. However, Bao Zhu had spoken so quickly that Tang Wan only grasped part of it—she needed to save that Revolutionary Party member who was…
"Hey, Wan'er! I sent someone to deliver the remaining sixteen masks to you. Did you get them?" Someone from the medical supplies distribution team caught her as she turned a corner.
"I got them, thanks!" Tang Wan replied with a smile before continuing her run. Wait, what had she just thought? Oh right, she needed to save that Revolutionary Party member; he was in Ward Sixteen.
There it was ahead! Tang Wan's heart raced as she burst through the door without knocking. The patient on the bed was sleeping soundly, and she lunged at him like a hungry wolf, nearly smothering Chu Yixuan in the process.
"Quick! Come with me; someone is coming to catch you!" Tang Wan pulled at him urgently, but despite his strong build, she couldn't budge him an inch.
"Someone's grabbing me? Are you kidding? Let go, don't disturb my sleep," Chu Yixuan growled, his face contorted with annoyance.
"If you don't leave now, it will be too late," Tang Wan said, jumping anxiously. It was then she noticed the bandage wrapped around the man's right leg; he wouldn't be able to run fast like this. Her gaze quickly darted to the wheelchair by the window, and she hurried over, pushing it towards him.
"Hey, what are you doing?" Chu Yixuan looked at the frantic nurse with confusion written all over his face.
Time was of the essence. Tang Wan had no time to waste on explanations. Thinking quickly, she struck decisively at the back of his neck. Chu Yixuan's vision darkened, and he fainted.
"This move really paid off from learning with my brother," Tang Wan chuckled to herself as she struggled to lift the man into the wheelchair and swiftly pushed him out of the ward.
At the same time, she couldn't help but admire her own cleverness and courage. The children of the Tang family from Suzhou were all like this. Just look at her brother, Tang Wei; he once single-handedly stormed into a church at the Shanghai Bund and stole away a bride—now her sister-in-law, Shen Qingfang.
Rescuing this Revolutionary Party member would surely please the director; as a new nurse here for just two months, she would undoubtedly gain recognition. Tang Wan felt a surge of satisfaction as she stole another glance at the unconscious Revolutionary Party member—he looked so handsome even in slumber.
"Tang Wan, if you had any more guts, would you dare to knock out the president's son too?" The director's booming voice echoed like thunder, spitting droplets of saliva onto Tang Wan's face.
Compared to the captured Revolutionary Party member, offending the nephew of Shanghai Caishen was enough to make Guangci Hospital vanish from the Shanghai concession.
Several doctors who had studied abroad were gathered around Chu Yixuan for examination, while bodyguards from the Chu family filled the room like a dark cloud. The Old Butler's face was longer than Changbai Mountain itself.
Tang Wan nearly pressed herself against the wall as she realized that the people in Nineteen Ward were actually Revolutionary Party members, while she had mistakenly entered Ward Sixteen.
She hadn't known who Chu Yixuan was yesterday, but now she did—he was the young master of Shanghai Pudong Development Bank and a direct nephew of the Kong family, whose wealth far surpassed that of her own family's estate in Suzhou.
The the Chu Family and the Kong Song family had some connections; even the Qing Gang had to show them some respect on the Shanghai Bund.
But today, the young master of the the Chu Family was knocked unconscious by a single strike from her.
No one would believe it if she told them, but it was true. Tang Wan felt immense regret; it was over, and she would have to pack her things and return to Suzhou.
