Chapter 238 Ruling Out Two Wrong Answers
Although the pace of life was getting faster and faster, Li Chengxi running a convenience store was a slow-paced life.
As long as it was not a matter of life and death, Li Chengxi would generally choose to handle it when he had more time.
But Qian Sen's one sentence, ‘Xue Wenshu is a suspect,’ directly sent Li Chengxi's blood pressure through the roof.
This matter had to be handled immediately, and it had to be handled now.
Finding a blood donation vehicle was easy.
Not long after Qian Sen hung up the phone, he said it was ready and told Li Chengxi the location.
Li Chengxi, on his end, immediately called Xue Wenshu.
Of course, he did not use the excuse that donating blood would add points to the college entrance exam.
Instead, he told Xue Wenshu, 'No one can guarantee they won't get sick or have a disaster in the future.
Getting a voluntary blood donation certificate will make it cheaper to get blood later.
Anyway, you're not doing anything at home, so come with me.'
Xue Wenshu was just simple-minded, not stupid.
Donating blood for college entrance exam points was an excuse that anyone could tell was bullshit just by hearing it.
Ever since returning from Golden Bull Mountain, Xue Wenshu had been cooped up at home studying.
Li Chengxi knew very well that he would not miss a chance to go out.
Let alone donating blood, even if he said they were going to climb on the roof and tear off the tiles, Xue Wenshu would happily tag along.
And Xue Wenshu's reply was even more classic.
He said, 'My luck hasn't been great recently.
Doing some charity might change my fortune.
I'll be downstairs right away.'
This line of thinking was very Xue Wenshu.
He definitely did not know that high school students were not allowed to donate blood...
Li Chengxi closed his shop, and Xue Wenshu came downstairs just in time.
The two of them walked towards the bus station together.
Usually, blood donation vehicles were in crowded places.
Around Li Chengxi's area, they were generally near the city center.
Suddenly driving the vehicle to the entrance of the commercial street would be out of place and might arouse suspicion, so they could only have Li Chengxi and the others take a bus.
Of course, Section Nine was still reliable.
It was no exaggeration to say that on the bus Li Chengxi and Xue Wenshu were currently riding, everyone from the driver to the passengers was from Section Nine.
In the cars surrounding the bus, there were also Section Nine personnel tracking and observing them, just in case Xue Wenshu really was a problem and suddenly made a move.
Audel's timing for returning was unfortunate.
If she had gone back one day later, she could have come along as insurance.
However, Qian Sen said it was not a big problem because he had asked Lei Lei to sit in an SUV behind the bus, ready to provide support at any time.
And unlike the somewhat anxious Li Chengxi and the on-high-alert Section Nine, Xue Wenshu did not notice anything wrong at all.
When he chatted and talked, he still seemed like his usual self.
This did not seem to prove anything.
After all, there was the incident where Gan Xiaoyan was impersonated.
Back then, even Lei Lei had not noticed a problem.
The disguise ability was just too good.
After getting off the bus, they went straight to the blood donation vehicles near the city center plaza.
Several were parked there, and the outermost one had been temporarily requisitioned by Section Nine.
Qian Sen had told Li Chengxi the license plate number in advance, so of course, he knew which vehicle to lead Xue Wenshu to.
Everything went smoothly until they got to the blood donation vehicle, where a small problem arose.
Xue Wenshu looked at the needle in the nurse's hand and said a little nervously:
'Brother Li, have you ever donated blood? Can you give me a demonstration first.'
Li Chengxi had indeed donated blood before.
That was back when he was in university.
At the time, he felt he was in great shape, so donating a little blood was no big deal.
He just treated it as doing a good deed.
'Just think of it as getting an IV drip.
It won't hurt much to get poked once.'
'It's not the same.
This time, it flows out.'
'No rush yet.
Let's test the blood first.'
Before donating blood, they needed to test it first to see if there were any viruses or anything before they could start drawing blood.
Seeing that Xue Wenshu was a little scared, Li Chengxi briskly rolled up his sleeve.
The nurse was also a Section Nine person.
She quietly signaled to Li Chengxi with her eyes, ‘Should I draw?’.
Li Chengxi nodded lightly, ‘Draw.’
He did not know how many cc's of blood Section Nine needed for the test.
It would be best to draw 400cc like a regular blood donation, which would definitely be enough.
In any case, they would just follow the procedure for now.
The nurse drew Li Chengxi's blood.
Seeing this, Xue Wenshu also extended his arm.
'Nurse sister, please be gentle.
I'm scared of pain...'
Yes, this big and burly kid, one meter ninety tall, was afraid of needles.
Putting on a full show, after getting the blood samples from both of them, the nurse asked them to wait a moment.
She took the blood samples to another vehicle.
Xue Wenshu thought that was the blood testing vehicle.
In reality, it contained a vehicle-mounted detection device specially brought by Section Nine.
Its precision certainly could not compare to the large equipment at the head office, but it was much better than the usual handheld devices.
Before long, the nurse informed them that the blood test results were fine and they could donate blood.
This also meant that the small amount of blood drawn just now was not enough.
Li Chengxi was just accompanying him this time, so he planned to just donate 200cc.
Xue Wenshu, on the other hand, saw a poster in the blood donation vehicle and suddenly seemed to be inspired.
He told the nurse to draw as much as she wanted, he had plenty of blood.
—Still as simple-minded as ever.
Honestly, this attitude really did not seem problematic.
If he were really faking it, he would have found an excuse to get out of donating blood.
Li Chengxi felt much more at ease.
When he came out after finishing his donation, Xue Wenshu was still only halfway done.
Leaning against the railing at the edge of the plaza, Li Chengxi looked left and right and noticed that in a car parked on the roadside not far away, Lei Lei and Gan Xiaoyan were waving at him from inside, indicating that they were nearby the whole time.
'The blood test results didn't find any problems.
Xue Wenshu is still Xue Wenshu.'
Li Chengxi heard Qian Sen's voice and was about to turn around when he heard Qian Sen say again:
'Don't turn around.
It'll arouse suspicion.'
In his peripheral vision, he saw a person in a police uniform and yellow vest standing behind and to his side.
Due to the recent mall robbery, police patrols had been very frequent during this period.
Qian Sen disguised as a police officer standing there did not seem out of place at all.
'So we can confirm that Xue Wenshu is fine now?'
'We can't be 100% certain.
We still have to wait for the blood sample to be sent to the head office for the results.
But the suspicion has dropped significantly.'
'When will the results be out?'
'This evening at the latest.
We expect to have the results by the afternoon.'
Hearing Qian Sen say this, Li Chengxi finally heaved a proper sigh of relief.
After all, if Xue Wenshu had really been replaced, there would be too many things to worry about.
'You said on the phone before that the trash Xue Wenshu threw away had the same power reaction.
If Xue Wenshu is fine, could it be that a classmate who is very close to him is the problem?'
'I'm suspecting that as well.
We need to find a way to get all of them in for a blood test.'
'I can't help with other people.'
'Being able to rule out one person is already a good thing.
I'll notify you when there are new developments.'
As they were speaking, Xue Wenshu jumped down from the blood donation vehicle, holding a blood donation certificate and a souvenir in his hand, but his arm was stained yellow over a large area with iodophor.
Qian Sen quickly walked away without drawing attention.
Li Chengxi went up to Xue Wenshu and asked:
'What happened to you?'
'When I got up, I got excited and didn't press down on it properly.
Blood flowed all over my hand...'
Alright, that was indeed something Xue Wenshu would do.
Just as Li Chengxi was about to take Xue Wenshu back, he heard someone say in surprise from not far away:
'Mr. Li?'
Turning around, he found that it was actually Xue Wenshu's teacher, Lin Qiaoya, standing nearby holding a bag.
It seemed like she might be out shopping during the holiday.
At this moment, she also saw Xue Wenshu.
Seeing him pressing a cotton swab against his arm, she then looked at the blood donation vehicle beside them:
'Are blood donation vehicles taking blood from high school students now?'
Crap, someone who knows what's what has shown up.
Li Chengxi quickly tried to cover it up:
'It's mainly me who came to donate blood.
This kid just came with me.
The nurse said it's fine as long as you're old enough, high school students are okay too.'
Seeing that Lin Qiaoya was still a bit suspicious, Li Chengxi added:
'Donating a little blood has its benefits.
No one can guarantee they won't get sick or have a disaster in the future.'
'Yeah, Teacher Lin, I think doing good deeds should be able to change my fortune.'
When Lin Qiaoya heard this, her teacherly demeanor surfaced.
'Voluntary blood donation is a public service, you can't be so utilitarian about it.
And this whole changing-your-fortune thing is just superstition, you shouldn't think that way.'
Lin Qiaoya must be the type at school who is extremely upright and does not joke around much.
However, she immediately added:
'A gentleman is judged by his actions, not his intentions.
No matter the reason, donating blood to help others is a good thing.'
After saying that, she also pulled at her sleeve:
'I'll go donate some too.'
Qian Sen, who was hiding to the side, was ecstatic.
There was an unexpected gain.
