Chapter 596 - 270: Forceful Entry into the Base (Part 2)

The laughter stopped, and his gaze suddenly turned ominous.

Pointing to the military base gate, he said word by word, "This is the US-Korea Joint Base, and our US military is not under your jurisdiction for checks. I advise you to quickly take your men and leave, or if something happens, you’ll all be in big trouble!"

After finishing his last sentence, the brown-haired white man even gave a thumbs down in front of Gu Ji and the others.

Several young South Korean police officers felt humiliated and were about to draw their guns.

But their superior quickly stopped them.

Although the brown-haired white man’s tone was excessive, he wasn’t wrong.

No matter what laws the US troops stationed in South Korea violate, the US military handles it; South Korean laws have no jurisdiction.

The officer in charge was still that same middle-aged man with parted hair.

He gently reached out, trying to pull Gu Ji by the sleeve to remind him of a couple of things.

But before he could speak, Gu Ji retorted directly, "Who said I’m investigating the US military, or are you involved in the crime and know the details of the case?"

"You!"

The brown-haired white man was so infuriated that his brain filled with blood, unable to retort.

Since being stationed at Wushan Base for these few years, he’d never encountered a South Korean official who dared to speak to him like this, nor had he ever faced such indignation.

In fact,

prosecutors had investigated incidents involving South Korean soldiers, like during a celebrity’s service, who violated regulations and was taken for investigation, eventually involving the Ministry of Defense of South Korea.

"Go."

"I dare anyone to try to barge into the military zone!"

As soon as Gu Ji gave the order, the brown-haired white man drew his gun from his waist.

In an instant, the already tense combat police were forced to draw their firearms by the crisp clashing sound of the mechanics.

The scene immediately became confrontational.

Just one step away and the barrels would be aimed at each other.

"Gulp..." Jang Siyun, who had never witnessed such a scene, swallowed hard and muttered, "Senior, haven’t things gotten out of hand? What do we do now?"

The members of the US-Korea Patrol Team looked tense on the opposite side.

Especially the Korean patrolmen.

They were the last people who wanted things to escalate to this point.

But unexpectedly.

Gu Ji’s tone was terrifyingly calm, "Continue, go."

The brown-haired white man’s eyelid twitched.

He couldn’t believe where this man got the guts to ignore the threats of the US-Korea Patrol Team, wasn’t he afraid of it escalating into a bloodshed?

A lowly prosecutor, how dare he!

Now, the brown-haired white man had a dilemma; if he ordered to aim now, and if anyone accidentally fired because of nervous fingers, regardless of the final outcome, he would face court-martial punishment.

While he was glaring at Gu Ji, contemplating whether to order or not.

Suddenly, a black Equus sedan stopped near both sides.

In an instant, everyone’s attention shifted to it.

The car door opened, and a well-dressed security officer walked over, holding a document in his hand, "This is a special permit signed by the president just now, allowing Prosecutor Jin Zhijiu to investigate Wushan Base Hospital."

"Phew..."

At that moment, everyone, including the members of the US-Korea Patrol Team, breathed a huge sigh of relief.

This document came at a perfect time.

Otherwise, neither side would know how to end it.

Seeing the document, Gu Ji grabbed it without even asking a question and walked up to the brown-haired white man, "Move aside!"

A cold rebuke.

So furious that his fingers trembled, he almost couldn’t resist shooting the prosecutor in front of him.

Yet, the brown-haired white man still didn’t dare to do so and could only obediently step aside for Gu Ji.

Seeing the American at a loss, these police station officers and detectives suddenly felt a mysterious sense of satisfaction in their chests.

It’s been many years, encountering crimes committed by the US troops stationed in South Korea, they didn’t dare to investigate, nor even dared to utter a sound, never had they stood firm like now.

"Senior, my God, your boldness earlier was too much. If there wasn’t this document, were you really going to force your way in?"

On the road, Jang Siyun still couldn’t calm down, continuously asking in Gu Ji’s ear.

"There is no ’if’." Gu Ji’s reply took him by surprise.

But Jang Siyun quickly realized.

Gu Ji knew from the start that the document would definitely be delivered.

This was the confidence Gu Ji had to confront the US-Korea Patrol Team head-on.

Before setting off, Li Xianzhen was already aware of his purpose and couldn’t stop it.

As long as Gu Ji "went all out," Cheongwadae would have to step in for the final step to minimize the impact.

Sure enough.

Not long after he stepped into the base, Li Xianzhen’s call came through.

"You have a lot of guts, kid, but I’m telling you, you’re only allowed to investigate the hospital, do not wander into other areas, especially the airport and US military zones, get it?"

"Don’t worry, Mr. Li, I know my limits."

"You know your limits? If you really did, you wouldn’t have drawn guns with the US-Korea Patrol Team!"

The last sentence proved that Li Xianzhen had been observing Gu Ji from the shadows all along.

"Jiang Chengxun, seal off the hospital immediately. From now on, no one can enter or exit."

"Understood."

With an order, CDC medical staff and police began setting up yellow barriers to seal off the military hospital zone.

The military hospital is located between the South Korean and US military zones.

There are also many shops and schools nearby.

Most of the soldiers passing by rode bicycles, only a few officers had the privilege of riding motorcycles or driving cars, and they were curious seeing Gu Ji and others.

After all, Wushan Base, as the most important air force base between Korea and the U.S., has always been closed to outsiders, so it’s rare to see so many outsiders coming in.

And Gu Ji also noticed.

Most soldiers here weren’t wearing masks.

Especially among the Korean soldiers, even the dependents of the US military all had masks, and the US and Korean zones were relatively independent.

This could result in a situation:

If the virus spreads from the hospital, it will quickly infect the Korean zone.

And from the current MERS investigation team’s disclosed results, all confirmed cases in Korea are among Koreans, except for one person from Xia Kingdom.

This indicates that this mutant MERS virus is more susceptible to Asians.

Gu Ji furrowed his brows.

Once Jiang Chengxun sealed off the hospital, he walked straight in and shouted, "Who is the person in charge of the hospital?"

"That would be me."

A middle-aged South Korean hospital director stood before him.

"I don’t want to hear any explanations from you, immediately hand over the list of all confirmed MERS patients."

"Prosecutor Jin, your words..."

"Jang Siyun, take him away!"

"Huh?" Startled by the order, Jang Siyun paused but quickly extended his hand, "Director, I’m sorry, please come with us!"

"No, why, on what basis are you arresting me! What wrong did I do..."

"Next, who is the second in charge?"

Gu Ji ignored the director’s protest.

Other medical staff standing by exchanged glances, not expecting a prosecutor dare to arrest someone at the military zone, surely he received special permission from the high-ups at Cheongwadae.

The next second, a slightly chubby, tortoiseshell-glasses-wearing middle-aged Korean doctor.

Ignoring the people beside him trying to stop him, he stepped forward and shouted, "I know, I can take you there."

"Let’s go."

As Gu Ji took a step, he turned to the person who tried to stop the doctor with glasses, who turned out to be an American also in a lab coat, "Are you with the US troops in South Korea?"

"No, I’m from the Kerry Infectious Disease Medical Research..."

"Take him away too."

Without waiting for the other to finish, Gu Ji waved to call over another investigating officer.

"You! What right do you have to arrest me, I want to see the base commander, I want..."

Amidst the white doctor’s yelling, other medical staff instinctively shivered.

Yet, Gu Ji paid no mind to it.

Following the doctor with glasses, they went to the third floor.

Looking at the list in his hand.

MERS infected patients: 5!
