Code Name: Flame

Chapter 60 Lonely
On the third day after receiving the penicillin, the test results came out. Thirty bottles of penicillin were used on ten patients with different diseases. Except for two cases where the effect was not obvious, the condition of the others improved significantly.In particular, the cure rate of the five patients with wound infection was 100%. This result made Dean Collins ecstatic.

After receiving a call from Collins, Quinn's emotions were also aroused by the bald man's exaggerated words. He kept strolling by the window, and when he saw a man in a suit and leather shoes on the road, he had to stretch his head to identify him.

"Damn bastard, why don't you come? Are you embarrassed because you poached Guo? No. God, why didn't this guy install a phone? Let him install it a long time ago, it's too late."

Quinn babbled on for a long time, paced back and forth in the office like a psychopath, and went to the window sill to look out after taking two steps. Finally, he couldn't help it anymore, and his mouth began to be rude, and he almost said all the curse words he knew over and over.

When he scolded until he felt that he was at a loss for words, he saw a greasy-faced guy in a suit and leather shoes walking towards the bank.

"San Ouf de Bitch, here it is at last."

Quinn, who was running down the stairs, almost knocked the bank clerk flying upstairs. If it wasn't for the protection of the railing, the clerk would probably go to the box to eat candle incense.

"Dear Li, you finally appeared." Quinn rushed to hug Chen Jia, "God, why don't you install the phone? What should I do if I need you in a hurry? Let's go and have a drink." Have a drink to celebrate."

Chen Jia struggled a bit, but Quinn grabbed his wrist tightly and had to be dragged upstairs to the office by him.

"Mr. Quinn, please pay attention to your demeanor, it's too rude."

Quinn let go of his hand and laughed loudly, "Fucking demeanor, you know? The experiment was successful, and eight out of ten people were cured."

When Quinn was pouring wine into the glass, he spilled a lot because his hands were shaking. He didn't care, and handed the glass to Chen Jia, "My friend, when are you going to America? There's a telegram at home, and my uncle will be thrilled to see it. Oh God, I love you so much."

Chen Jia took a sip of the wine, his throat was hot, but suddenly he felt that the taste was not bad.There is good news to accompany the wine, and the taste buds are also happy.

Quinn sat on the sofa, and suddenly raised his head, as if this was the only way to express his excitement, "Should we book the flight ticket now? Mister Lee, I heard that the flight ticket is a little nervous."

Chen Jia thought it was funny, but Quinn kept talking hard, saying that he would not be a pharmaceutical factory manager. Judging by his appearance, he really said no, but his body was very honest.

"Don't worry, just let me finish the work in Shanghai and arrange it before I go. I still have time to make another batch of penicillin and go to the United States to do another experiment. If the result is good, we can talk about the pharmaceutical factory." By the way, I personally suggest that you get 10% of the shares without paying any money.”

Quinn finished his glass of wine in a few sips, and sat down beside Chen Jia, "Okay friend, since you trust me so much, I'll give it a try, you know I really don't want to part with Shanghai."

Chen Jia almost choked his throat with a sip of wine, this guy is too shameless.

Quinn was very interested, and chatted with Chen Jia about his life in college, his first love girlfriend, blah blah blah.

Chen Jia listened with gusto.At this time, Americans were not as open as later generations. The first girlfriend of Quinn University just held hands and kissed, and felt extremely happy.Although they broke up for some reason in the end, this sweet period still gave him the most memorable part of his college life.

Chen Jia didn't drink very well, and after drinking two more glasses, he felt hot all over, so he unbuttoned his suit to make himself sit more comfortably.Who knew that Quinn's eyes swept away, and he suddenly stopped talking.Chen Jia noticed this immediately, and quickly pulled his clothes to cover the pistol under his ribs.

Quinn stopped talking, and the office fell into an eerie silence.

"Ahem, Mister Lee, what do you want to say?"

Chen Jia drank the wine in one gulp, stood up and said, "Don't think too much, I'm just here for self-defense. Believe in your own judgment, I'm not a bad person, but for some reason, I can't open my heart to you. Quinn, maybe someone One day I'll tell you all about it, but...not now."

When Chen Jia left, Quinn didn't send him off, and he felt a little wronged.He opened his heart to Chen Jia because he finally decided to join hands with Chen Jia to do great things.And what about Chen Jia?Not because he carried a gun with him, but because his candor was not echoed.

Chen Jia was strolling in the park by the Huangpu River, feeling mixed emotions, and didn't know how to describe his current mood.

After coming to this world, Chen Jia made many friends.Starting from saving his couple, Wang Wei, old neighbor, Li Shan, Wang Dawu, Qiu Bingyi, Min Zhihui, Gu Minghua, Zhang Min, Zhan Hao, Shen Hongyan, they made him forget the strangeness and the past.They made him feel warm and at home.

But after he was shot, Xie Keqiang, Yamada Yokono, Quinn, Guo Shuyi, and even Shen Hongyan, he could only interact with them wearing a mask.People are in front of you, but your heart is thousands of miles away.

In the year and a half of imitating Fujiwara Yasushi, Chen Jia has even merged himself with him.The results of it?He killed another himself with his own hands.Afterwards, I hid in the bathroom and cried for a long time. I couldn't explain why I was crying, but I just wanted to cry.The female spy who has skin-to-skin relationship with him is also missing now.

Loneliness is not when there is no one around, but when there are many people, but you know you are the only one.People are not wolves, but they themselves live like wolves.

In fact, there are very few people who can really overcome loneliness, because humans are social animals, so those who remain lonely amidst the noise of human voices are worthy of respect.Just like those people lurking in the enemy's camp, who haven't contacted their comrades even once in more than ten years, they collapsed when facing a strange comrade one day.

At this moment, Chen Jiashang didn't have such an experience, but the sense of loneliness was biting his heart like a poisonous snake all the time.

Quinn's words made him very uncomfortable. This kind of emotion like a trapped animal controlled him, making him a little out of control, and he even had the urge to jump into the Huangpu River to sober up.

At this time, the Riverside Park on the Bund has always been a holy place for young men and women to meet.The dense woods gave them good cover, giving them a small piece of their own place in the messy world.

It is daytime, so there will not be couples sitting on the benches in the park, only nearby staff sitting here for lunch.They sit in groups of three or four, eating and chatting together, maybe complaining, maybe having fun.Who knows?Perhaps this form of gathering itself is the greatest joy.

There is a wonton stall, a cart, two small tables, and a few benches at the intersection of the second road opposite, which is a mobile gourmet world.

A few people were sitting on stools and eating wontons. Judging by their attire, they should be policemen.

Chen Jia is not hungry, but a little greedy.I wanted to wait for the policemen to finish eating before going there, but when I got here, my legs didn't listen to my brain, and I walked directly there.

As soon as he reached the middle of the road, he suddenly felt his heart beating faster.

The policeman with his back turned was obviously a woman, and there was always a familiar feeling when looking at her back.This feeling was so strong that he almost couldn't help but want to take a look at her face.

These policemen are Chinese policemen from the Shanghai Police Department, and the area outside the concession is their jurisdiction.The reason why I came to the concession today is because there was a coordination meeting on cross-district hunting on Erma Road.The coordination meeting proposed by the Concession Police Department aims to strengthen the cooperation between the two sides and prevent those criminals from using the border to escape legal punishment.

There is a joke in Shanghai that a thief committed a crime in the concession and was hunted down by police. The thief stopped on the concession line, with one foot inside the concession and the other outside the concession.He only needs to take a step outside the concession, and the police can no longer arrest him.The patrolmen confronted him for nearly an hour, but they had nothing to do with him.But the police from the Shanghai Police Department on the opposite side didn't care, and the thief didn't commit any crime outside the concession.

This kind of meeting means that the two sides mentioned something, but it doesn't mean much.The Board of Directors of the Concession will not open this hole, and the patrols below have nothing to do.But communication is better than no communication, right?So the meeting will still be held, and the specific matters will be discussed at that time.

Wang Wei is now the person in charge of the Liaison and Communication Office of the Police Department, so this time she led the team to attend the meeting.

After drinking the last sip of soup, the taste of white pepper powder still remains in the mouth, which is indescribably refreshing.

He took out his handkerchief to wipe his mouth, but saw a man in a suit in front of him gradually disappearing in the crowd.Her hands trembled slightly, and her heartbeat beat against her eardrums, and she froze, unable to move anymore.
