Chapter 186: Unpredictable Changes

glance.The ripple on San Lian's brow, the beast brand, flickered again. San Lian retreated, and finally turned around, running out of the cave, escaping the island without any regard for anything els...The man sensed something was wrong and immediately reached back to grab the hand on his shoulder, but he was too slow. He was pushed directly to the ground. His wrist, which held the gun, ached, and the gun had already been taken from him.

"To deal with a weak woman like me, is it really necessary to be so harsh Since you're seeking information and have even planned for my escape route, how can you be so unfeeling towards a delicate flower"

The sound of ripples reached the man's ear, though it was said in jest, it was enough to make him break out in a cold sweat. The mysterious woman was not as weak as she appeared.

"What do you want to do"

The man was pinned down by one hand, unable to get up at all. He could only ask in a low voice.

"Of course it's trade information."

"I can add up to eight small yellow croakers at most, and I can also arrange a way out for you. Anything else is beyond my capabilities."

The man tried his best to keep calm and then revealed his cards.

"Too bad, I've changed my mind now."

The ripples did not release the man, but instead moved her hand from his shoulder to his carotid artery in his neck, and said slowly.

What do you want

The man swallowed nervously and continued,

"You are more eager than the other two, desperate for the information in my hand, even willing to make some sacrifices. If I'm correct, you should be an intelligence officer from the underground party, right"

Ripples asked softly.

The man's brow was furrowed tightly, just about to deny it, when a soft sigh came from beside him, followed by that languid voice again:

"Don't deny it just yet. When I mentioned your identity a moment ago, your pulse quickened considerably. It seems I guessed correctly."

The man felt the cold hand on his neck, checking his pulse. He forced himself to stay calm; this woman was too mysterious, he couldn't quite figure her out, so he decided not to speak.

"Given your honesty and consideration for me, I'm willing to give you the information for free, but I have a condition."

As soon as these words were spoken, the man was taken aback once again. He clearly hadn't expected the other party to come up with such a move. After only five seconds of hesitation, he opened his mouth and said:

"Your requirements"

"I would like to join you as an extra."

As soon as he said that, the man couldn't help himself and turned his head to look at the other person's expression, but was pushed back by Ripples again.

"Don't worry, I'm just a figurehead. But you guys need to have official records. When there's valuable information, I'll give it to you directly."

"Why"

I have faith in you, and perhaps in the future, you will be the ultimate victors. Naturally, I must keep a way out for myself.

With that, Liàn Yī released her grip on the other person's hand, her figure fading back into the darkness. She continued,

“As a gesture of goodwill for joining us, I'll give you this information first. This is a list of people who participated in the negotiations between the Nationalist Party and the underground party, and it will also serve as the basis for the Nationalist Party's future crackdown on you. I hope you take this seriously and don't disappoint my good intentions!”

The man felt a void at his neck and immediately stood up, turning around to look behind him. There was no trace of the mysterious woman. He looked around and then touched his neck, picking up the pistol she had left on the ground. Underneath the gun, he saw a piece of paper folded into a small square.

He immediately tucked the pistol into his waistband and slipped the small square of paper into his collar, then turned and left the dead end.

The ripples hidden in the darkness watched the man run faster than a rabbit, his lips twitched, then turned and went to the shelter room Huqian had prepared for himself. He took off his makeup and returned to the passionate female teacher, and then quickly returned to school.

Those who were watching her didn't leave. She took some time, avoiding their gaze, and returned to her dormitory, falling asleep as soon as she lay down.

Slept until the sun was high in the sky on the second day, and Lian Yi only got up to wash and brush her teeth. She went to her usual wonton stall and ordered a bowl of wontons for both breakfast and lunch.

She was drinking soup when she heard the sound of a millstone grinding by her ear.

"Congratulations to the missioner Ripple, for successfully completing the hidden mission. The information was successfully delivered, advancing the liberation of this world. We hope you keep up the good work!"

Swallowing the broth in her mouth, Lian Ri asked:

Have there been any developments regarding my joining the underground party

They are cautious, suspicious of your motives, and still in the stage of debate.

The millstone answered very concisely.

"It doesn't matter, they'll always use me someday. Just wait and see."

Ripples said lonely.

After seeing Ripples the previous night, John Lee was immediately sent to the hospital due to cardiac arrhythmia leading to shock. When he woke up again, the bed was guarded by the platoon leader of the gendarmerie, who was still obsequious.

Mr. John Lee, I hear you saw the woman on the wanted poster yesterday.

John Li took a while to come to, realizing he had fainted in the bar!

He raised his hand to touch his chest, the dull ache still lingering. He wasn't in the mood to answer the corporal's questions at all.

“Mr. John Riley, I hate to bother you, but today we found two more bodies in a dead end. They were both informants who were at the bar last night, and they all left with that mysterious woman. Of everyone who has come into contact with her, only you are alive.”

Upon hearing this, John Lee couldn't just lie there anymore. He propped himself up and sat up, directly asking:

How did they die

He was shot in the forehead and killed instantly.

The military police captain immediately said.

What model of gun

The coroner said there were no burn marks around the wounds, suspecting it wasn't caused by a bullet, he was checking.

"Who were those two working for"

One was a Kuomintang intelligence officer, the other was Japanese.

The captain of the military police will answer any questions you have.

Did anyone see how they died Did you hear the gunshots

The people tracking the mysterious woman all lost her in the end! It's clear that only these two didn't lose her, but they ended up losing their lives.

The憲兵小隊長 actually really hoped that Mr. John Lee would give up on hunting down this mysterious woman. She was just too deadly; there had already been five murders.

They knew who did it, but they couldn't catch them. And Mr. John Lee nearly got himself involved as well, especially since the other party made their move in broad daylight, right under everyone's noses, yet no one noticed. It was truly a killing without a trace.

John Li was reminded at this moment of the mysterious woman's warning to him in the bar. His hospitalization and the deaths of those two people were all warnings from her.

John clenched his fist, took a deep breath, and finally said to the captain of the憲兵:

"Cancel that woman's warrant."

"Yes!"

The platoon leader of the military police immediately replied, he had been waiting for this very sentence.

On the day the warrant was revoked, Ripples knew.

John Lee, this MI intelligence officer, is truly a coward who bullies the weak and fears the strong.

Just as Lian Yi was packing her bags, preparing to leave Pingbei for a while, Principal Wu sent someone to find her.ow that in order to help the Song family through this difficult time, we had emptied our own coffers and even used the reward that Miss Dong's second daughter gave me.This way, the villagers won't kee...
