Chapter 200: Adding Fuel to the Fire

Feng gave his analysis."This is our advantage, you should make the most of it, but we also need to have a bottom line.""Yes!"After the two siblings bowed to each other, they left the office and planne...Her ripples had transformed into peony now, with delicate and glamorous makeup. Her hair was styled in a high bun, dyed black, and paired with a red peony cheongsam on a black background. A camel-colored windbreaker lay over it all, making her beauty seem almost unreal.

The little beggar named Ya Tou opened her wide eyes, filled with undisguised envy. But she remembered her mission and still handed over the newspaper in her hands.

Lan Ri smiled, took the newspaper, and tossed a silver coin into the maid's arms. She said with a smile:

"

Keep it safe, don't let anyone steal it.

"

The little girl didn't expect this beautiful aunt to be so generous. She fumbled and stuffed the silver coins in her arms into the bottom of her shoe, trying to thank her but the other person was already gone.

Ripples clutched the flimsy newspaper in her hand, already turned into the alleyway and back to Hu Qian's secret safe house. Only then did she unfold the paper and read it carefully.

After handing the list to Miyata, she went to find the underground party's intelligence collector and asked him to gather recent information about four high-ranking Japanese military officers, especially their movements and frequent places of visit.

She was preparing to help the KMT, accelerating the progress of the decapitation operation, and also demonstrating to Japan on the side that the authenticity of her intelligence gathering, so that Miyata would not easily give up on her in the short term.

When Lin Hui, who had directly contact with the ripples, saw the ripples appear before him, he unconsciously swallowed hard and then immediately stood up and asked:

"Miss Peony, what brings you here"

"There are some things that need your help, please remember these four people's names."

The ripples sat unceremoniously at the square table, and announced the names of four high-ranking Japanese officers.

Lin Hui immediately got some paper and pen, writing down these names.

"Use your network to gather information on these people as quickly as possible. I need to know everything about their lifestyles, hobbies, movements—anything and everything about the four of them."

"Miss Peony, is there anything we can assist you with"

Lin Hui was not stupid; he immediately understood that these four people were probably on the assassination list.

"No, you shouldn't get involved in this. You are only responsible for providing me with information."

The ripples directly refused.

"Okay, please give me a few days, I will definitely get you the detailed information."

"I believe that this will not attract the attention of the Kuomintang and Japanese intelligence agencies."

I understand.

After a brief exchange, Ripple slipped away without saying when she would return for the information.

But Lin Hui didn't dare to neglect it. After remembering the names of the four people, he left the rented hut and went to deliver the message.

Li Ri returned to Hu Qian's secret safe house and pulled out a rectangular box from under the wooden bed. When she opened it, there was a sniper rifle inside. Although it wasn't the latest model, she had checked it before and knew it worked.

This sniper rifle should have been part of a dead man's collection, now it's hers for cheap. She plans to use the gun to carry out an assassination this time.

Being taken to that training camp by the Nationalist Party also had its advantages. When it came to firearms, she had no obstacles whatsoever. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say she could hit a target every time. However, in order to maintain her persona, her shooting course scores were always just barely passing.

Five days later, Lian Yi left the school at midnight and went to Lin Hui's residence to get the collected information.

"You should move to a different place."

"Did I expose myself"

Lin Hui "brushed" himself up.

No, just in case.

"Good."

Where has the latest intelligence trading location been set

Before, when there was a murder at Andrew's bar, people from Japan were watching it, so the intelligence brokers definitely moved to a new place.

A modern-style restaurant on the street. It serves as a dining place during the day, and in the evening it hosts small gatherings, not every day though, maybe every three or four days once. People who need to exchange information would go there. The person behind the scenes organizing everything is still the old bar owner.

Lin Hui immediately replied.

"I'll go there sometime to meet the big boss and apologize with a gift."

Ripple smiled and said.

Three days later, a murder occurred in Pingbei City both in the morning and afternoon. The victims were all Japanese military officers. This enraged Japan, but Miyata was both happy and worried.

The occurrence of the murder at least confirmed that the information provided by Ms. Wu, who appeared to be weak but had a keen mind, was true. The two people who died that day were both on the assassination list. However, even though they knew and prepared for it, they still failed to prevent the other party from succeeding.

On the other side, Deputy Officer Wei and Irene were also puzzled. The assassination this morning was orchestrated by them, but the deceased Japanese officer this afternoon, while on their list, was not killed by any of their men.

"Deputy Wei, who did this I heard it was a single shot!"

Irene frowned.

“I'm not sure, at least it wasn't our people. The decapitation operation was carried out by the special operations team members. The superior officer entrusted this mission to us entirely. Unless we fail the mission, no other department will take over.”

Wei's words were very certain.

"Has our list still been leaked, and should we continue with the plan"

Eileen's brows were furrowed tightly with worry, and she asked.

No matter who the other party is, he didn't stop our actions, you could say he was helping us. The plan remains the same, and we need to speed it up. Japan has been losing on the front lines and is already preparing to surrender.

"I understand."

In the following days, whenever the KMT carried out an assassination, another assassination unrelated to them would occur almost immediately. This drove Japan into a frenzy, and they frequently sent people to investigate, but came up empty-handed. As names on the list were eliminated one by one, the remaining three high-ranking officers on the list had canceled all their outings and were holed up in the Japanese headquarters in Pingbei.

"That's a bit troublesome, hiding inside its shell won't make it easier to assassinate."

Ripple looked at the newspaper in his hand, frowning to himself.

Recently, Miyata has been busy tracking down the assassin and hasn't contacted her in a long time. The KMT's surveillance on her has also been reduced to just two people. It seems that nothing was discovered as they became more lax in their efforts. This made Ripple's actions much smoother.

As the situation in Pingbei grew increasingly chaotic, Principal Wu decided to temporarily suspend classes, allowing students who were not from Pingbei to leave this vortex. Fewer and fewer students attended classes, and Ripples' classes became less frequent. Soon after, the school closed, and she too had to leave.

So she contacted Deputy Officer Wei and consulted him, whether she should return to her hometown temporarily or continue to stay in Pingbei City.

Wei, the deputy officer, for some reason did not let her leave. He allowed her to rent a house and stay in Pingbei City to continue gathering intelligence.

Ripples knew the KMT's suspicions hadn't disappeared, so they wanted to keep her under their watchful eye. She reluctantly nodded in agreement, then continued with her own affairs under the pretense of looking for a place to live.

This night, Lian Yi went to Lin Hui's new residence, but before she even got close, she realized something was wrong with the surroundings.about right.”"This time, because you eliminated the wild system, you saved a plane and earned merit."Can I take a break nowOf course!"Next time, choose a mission that's not about fighting and killing....
