Beijing. Through a middleman, we found a courtyard with two entrances. The other party wanted 5,000 taels of silver for it. All the furniture inside is included and the transfer can be done at any tim...After Lao Zhou read the content on the note, he returned the gun to Lin Hui and said with a smile:
"You keep this gun for yourself. Get a magazine for it and use it for protection. This is a good thing. As for Peony, I have other arrangements for her. Don't worry about it."
Now that you've been exposed, it's not safe for you to remain in Pingbei City. Temporarily go to the rear and learn from your comrades.
"Yes, I obey the organization's arrangements."
Lin Hui immediately said.
Then Lao Zhou sealed the note with wax and put it in an old bamboo tube filled with water. He arranged for someone to send the message to the rear.
After daybreak, a scream echoed from the back alley, drawing in a patrolling gendarmerie unit. The bodies of the Japanese soldiers that Ren had dealt with were now completely exposed.
And Lin Hui's residence was also deserted. When Miyata received the news and rushed there with his men, he saw those lifeless Imperial soldiers, and anger surged into his head:
"What the hell is going on Why wasn't I reported about this operation"
"Sir, these are members of Action Team One. They were likely ambushing here to catch a big fish, but they overestimated their own abilities."
The deputy swept over the bodies, already laid out in a row, and stepped forward, lowering his voice to explain.
The Action Team and their Intelligence Division have always been at odds. The previous military officer in charge of operations was killed, leaving the Action Team with a grudge against them, believing their intelligence was lagging. They decided to take matters into their own hands and begin their own investigation, seeking revenge for their superior.
They actually found a lead. At that time, Lin Hui was secretly collecting information about high-ranking Japanese military officers. They didn't inform Miyata and directly controlled Lin Hui in secret, waiting for an opportunity to strike. In the end, they suffered a complete defeat.
Miyata's face was dark with fury. In his eyes, the Action Team were nothing but muscle-bound imbeciles. This pile of corpses only proved his point. Not only had they put themselves in danger, they'd also broken the trail. And by alerting the snake, that informant would never show his face again.
Miyata was desperately trying to clean up the mess that the action team had made, while simultaneously instructing his deputy to question those in Action One who hadn't been involved in the operation, hoping for some useful information.
But after her last class, she went to the administration office to report her whereabouts. As fate would have it, she ran into Lao Wu there.
"Hello, Principal Wu!"
"Teacher Wu, when are you leaving"
The old man leaned on his ebony cane and asked.
"Principal Wu, things are a bit unstable in my hometown right now, so I'm not going back for the time being. I've been looking at houses recently and planning to rent one and stay in Pingbei. After school resumes, I won't have to travel back and forth, and I'm very satisfied with this job."
Ripples explained.
"Alas! The world is in chaos, nowhere is stable. As a young woman, it's indeed unwise for you to travel alone."
The principal sighed and then asked:
Have you found a house yet
"Not yet! Houses with high security are too expensive for me to afford, and cheaper places are full of all sorts of people, not suitable for a single woman. I've looked at many places these days, but haven't found a suitable one."
The ripples are helpless and can only spread their hands.
I have an apartment on Hong Fei Road that I can rent to you.
Principal Wu, fearing that Lian would refuse, directly said it was a lease.
"This HFHongfei Road's rent is not cheap, I also looked at a few before."
Ripples said, a little embarrassed.
"Mr. Wu has helped me, so I will naturally give you a fair price. It won't put you in an awkward position, and I won't lose out either. What do you think"
"Wu Lao smiled and said,"
Ripple immediately thanked him gratefully, accepting the help. This was clearly Principal Wu taking care of her, and she had also saved his life, so she didn't act emotionally.
The next day, Lianyi packed her belongings and moved into the apartment. It was a two-story townhouse with a small garden. The residents in the neighborhood were all well-off, which could be seen from their attire.
The house was very clean and tidy. The furnishings were also understated and luxurious, clearly meant for entertaining guests. Lianyi was very pleased with the decor.
She calculated the time, went out on a trip, spent a small yellow fish, bought some daily necessities and food supplies, stockpiled them up. In a few days, even a small yellow fish might not buy much.
Three days later, newspapers on every street corner were printing a joint statement from the Three Kingdoms urging Japan to surrender as soon as possible and withdraw from all occupied territories. Japan ignored the ultimatum and even accelerated its plundering activities.
Ripples looked at the newspaper in her hand, sighing helplessly. Unwavering persistence would only harm more innocent people.
That night, she changed into men's clothing and went to visit John Lee. The people at the door were very cautious and didn't let Ripples in easily.
She simply handed the ruby tie clip to the gatekeeper and said:
"Please give this to Mr. John Lee, he will meet me."
"Okay, one moment, please!"
The goalkeeper shut the door and went to report.
Moments later, the ripples successfully entered John's residence.
As she stepped into the study, Lian Yi took off the black hat that covered most of her face and smiled, saying:
"Mr. John Lee, it's been a long time!"
"Miss Peony, what brings you here today"
John Lee kept a certain distance, seated behind his desk, holding a gun in his hand and said with a cold face.
Because of this woman, he has already lost several intelligence officers. Last time, he was even detained and monitored by the Japanese for a long time.
Of course, I spoke with Mr. John Lee about the deal.
Lianshan sat casually on a set of sofas in front of the desk, smiling and saying.
"What kind of transaction"
"I have the specific date of Japan's surrender here, as well as the time they withdrew from Pingbei. I wonder if you're interested."
“This is just a matter of time, it doesn't really mean much to me.”
John Lee was not very satisfied with this information.
They did not evacuate empty-handed.
The ripples pointed out the key point.
"Can you get their exact retreat routes"
John's eyes flickered as he asked.
Of course, otherwise I wouldn't have the face to come knocking.
Ripple leaned against the back of the sofa and nodded in agreement.
"What do you want"
A piece of information.
What is it about
"The specific time and location of the arms deals with the KMT."
Upon hearing Ripple's answer, Johhny's pupils contracted slightly, then shook his head.
I don't have that information on hand.
"Puchi," she giggled with a ripple of laughter, then began reciting the contents of the arms agreement she had seen while infiltrating Johnley's study that day.
She had only opened one sentence, and before she could get to the specific terms, John Riley interrupted,
"Where did you get this information"
"You don't need to know the details. Just know that I offered enough to make them interested."
The ripples bounced off the gentleman's hat, which bore no dust at all, and he replied carelessly.
"
John Li knew he was being led around by the nose, and snooping out information sources was a big no-no in their line of work.
"I'll give you ten days to consider. As long as you agree, I'll give you the specific information about the withdrawal of the Japanese army. Once you have the specific time for the arms deal, I'll contact you."d in their tracks when they saw Miss Ripple behind them, but their eyes still stared at the campsite across from them.At this time, the guards on this side of the ripples came out after hearing the no...
