Chapter 182: Undercurrents Brewing

hurt me, framed me and had me exiled from the tribe. He tried to kill me, leaving me for dead!Unfortunately! I am blessed by the Beast God and saved by divine messengers. Today, the white tiger cub bo...After the gunshot rang out, ripples jumped from the back window and left the two-story house, taking a winding route back to the school staff dormitory.

The light in her single dormitory was still on, and through the glow one could see her hunched over her desk, preparing for class. This was the alibi she had created for herself before leaving.

The KMT officer who had caused the original tragedy was also dealt with, and even the instigator Pan Wenbin was killed. Lian'er felt that her mission progress had at least been completed by half.

"Nineteen!"

Ripple daily calls for its communicator.

"I'm here, what can I do for you, Taskmaster"

"You finally decided to show up. See how far I've gotten on my tasks"

"Let me see, the current mission progress is two-thirds complete... Wait, the tasker has also triggered a hidden mission..."

Ripple thought to herself that she was just being nosy. She should have found a way to kill that Japanese officer and then returned directly to the Time Management Bureau.

"I didn't hear anything!"

"Cough, this hidden mission is related to the underground party encirclement plan that the original body wanted to obtain."

I just want to ask, how do I trigger the hidden mission

Ripples frowned and asked.

The list of negotiators you found on Pan Wenbin, that's the precursor to the plan to suppress the underground party.

The stone mill immediately replied.

With a sigh, Lian Yi asked:

"What is that Pan Wenbin's situation He and the original owner had no grievances, recently or in the past, so why would he be plotting to harm the original owner"

He is a spy cultivated by Country M, going to any lengths to acquire all kinds of top-secret information.

The original body was only attractive and intelligent, and had a cold and aloof personality, which caught his eye. He planned to use the original body to ensnare Hu Qian, the intelligence dealer, so that he wouldn't have to show up in person when something happened later. As a result, you killed him.

So he could only show up himself, introduce you to Li Wenliang, trying to use his own fondness for him to directly give you to Li Wenliang in exchange for the information he wanted.

As a result of your disruptive actions, the two people developed a rift, and Pan Wenbin also found himself in a messy situation.

He lost the protection of being your university teacher, so naturally he bears a grudge against you. That's why he decided to use you completely before leaving.

From the very beginning, he only treated his original self as a tool. He could only say that his original self was unlucky to have been targeted by such a person.

The stone mill was clearly well-prepared and responded very fluently.

"Humph! It seems this Pan Wenbin deserved his death. I should have tortured him more, for letting him die so easily."

"Don't worry, the obstacle has been cleared. Please keep up the good work!"

"Stop shouting slogans, didn't you go and investigate the reasons for the previous two taskers' failures What did you find out"

"...

"

Don't tell me you found nothing.

The ripple's tone wasn't quite friendly.

The first missioner was a woman. She was very beautiful and wanted to use her beauty to make men submit to her and do her bidding. Sadly, beauty couldn't overcome the allure of profit, and she ultimately failed.

The second operative was male, he dedicated himself to completing the mission, unfortunately, he lacked decisiveness and was betrayed by his own partner, resulting in the mission's failure.

Can you be more specific For example, why was the first tasker abandoned for a benefit Who betrayed the second tasker

"Sorry, my permissions are only unlocked for this information. The rest you'll have to ask the tasker about."

"Alright, I understand! I wasn't counting on you to complete the mission anyway. Just keep me updated on the progress whenever you can."

…"

Even the stone mill didn't want to speak anymore, it just vanished.

On the second day, Ripple continued to go through the motions of her classes, completing her teaching duties as usual. Then she began to consider how to pass on the message to the underground party without implicating herself.

Before she could figure out what was going on, news of Pan Wenbin and Li Wenliang's deaths spread.

Actually, the gunshots when Ripples killed Pan Wenbin were not muffled. People nearby definitely heard them, but it was night, and no one dared to come out and check.

It wasn't until the next day that someone bold enough reported it. The military police didn't take it seriously, just sending a rookie to have a look and go through the motions.

But half an hour later, the rookie immediately called for backup because he discovered three bodies, and with his limited experience, he could tell that the three had killed each other.

Most importantly, the two involved are still military personnel, and this involves the military. Things can't be resolved easily.

The entire street was immediately cordoned off, and then the gendarmes began going door to door, asking questions and looking for clues.

After piecing together all the clues, a captivating woman emerged as the sole witness or perhaps the prime suspect.

The military police began searching the entire city for the woman, and even drew her portrait. Unfortunately, they received no valuable information.

Ripples went to see the portrait herself and could only say that besides gender, it had nothing to do with her.

Three days later, rumors spread in the intelligence market that a piece of information about a crackdown on the underground party was available for sale. Those interested only needed to leave their information with the corresponding intelligence dealer.

"Are you sure the message is true"

"The intel about the crackdown on underground parties is new to the market. As for whether the plan itself is real or not, no one has seen it, so who knows."

"Whether it's true or not, we have to get the intel back."

"The KMT and Japan will definitely not sit idly by if this information falls into our hands."

Then we need to get our hands on the intel. And it's a high-risk operation, so everyone be prepared.

"I understand!"

—

"As the one in charge of intelligence, how could I not know that we have a plan to encircle and suppress the underground party"

The head of the Nationalist Party's intelligence department frowned and said.

"Chief, could it be that this information was released by Japan intentionally to lure out the underground party members lurking in Pingbei"

The director of the Nationalist Party's intelligence department boldly speculated.

"You said that this possibility is very high."

"...Then we..."

"Keep a close watch, we'll just lure them both out. If we can catch them all at once, that would be even better."

"Understood, Chief Inspector. I'll arrange it right away."

--- Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

"Sir, the source of this message is unknown. Our intelligence officers are still looking for the person who spread it and are unsure if it was released by the Nationalist Party or an intelligence agency from another country."

"It's even possible that it was a play written, directed, and acted by the underground party themselves,"

Is this a ploy to lure us into snatching information Or is it designed to get our intelligence operatives to expose themselves willingly

"We can't rule out these possibilities."

"Let the outsiders make the first move, and have the senior intelligence officers focus on the movements of other parties. Don't expose yourselves."

"Yes, sir! I'll arrange it right away."

Ripple didn't expect that by releasing a misleading message, she would be able to send out the information and attract attention from all three parties.

"I didn't expect this to draw out so many people!"

After Liàn Yī silently lamented, a student rushed over to report:

"Mr. Wu, the military police are here again!"e had made an enemy of the Zhao family. The second princess shouldn't even think about ascending the throne smoothly. Even if his own daughter was unable to become empress, he didn't want someone who...
