Chapter 203 The Final Frenzy

g teacher, met the two men. She put on a bashful smile and turned her gaze to the man beside her who had been staring at her all along.Then Wu Lianyi nodded in greeting, truly saying that she had sear..."Aren't you afraid of me"

John voiced the question that had been on his mind.

Ripple had already gotten up, a smirk playing on her lips, revealing eight teeth in a standard smile:

You can give it a try.

She immediately turned and left Johnley's study. This time, she didn't go out the front door or the back door, but instead climbed over the wall directly to the apartment next door across a small alleyway. Of course, she avoided everyone in Johnley's mansion. She was going to meet her new contact.

When ripples stepped into the pitch-black room, a gun was pressed against her lower back. A low voice echoed in her ear:

"Your Excellency, I humbly request your guidance. What is it you wish to impart"

"Hehehe! You're much more alert than that newbie Xiao Lin!"

Lao Zhou immediately understood upon hearing this, the uninvited guest was Peony.

"Miss Peony"

"It's me!"

Immediately, ripples sidestepped with a sudden movement, dodging the gun aimed at her waist. With a deft maneuver, she snatched the weapon from her opponent's grasp and slammed him against the door. In the moonlight, she could finally see his face clearly.

The other person frowned at this moment, their body on guard. A face that was usually serene and flawless now had dark, shiny eyes fixed on her.

How should I address you

"Old Zhou."

"Is this your code name or last name"

Liàn Yī turning the gun in her hand, asked.

"This is a code."

Next!

The ripples threw the gun to Lao Zhou.

After taking it, Lao Zhou instinctively glanced at the magazine. Sure enough, it was empty.

Also because of the other party's action, Lian Ri confirmed that this person was indeed a contact sent by the underground party.

It seems the message I had Xiao Lin deliver has reached you.

"Yes!"

Lao Zhou nodded, also admiring the other party's meticulous thoughts. The other party disarming him was just a test.

He didn't request a magazine clip; he simply holstered the gun at his back and then said:

Could we talk

Of course, that's also the purpose of my being here today.

Then the two of them moved to a small lounge on the first floor.

The ripples still politely removed her hat, revealing a refined and beautiful face.

After Lao Zhou sat down, he formally introduced himself:

"I am the one sent by the organization to replace Lin Hui and be responsible for communicating with you from now on. My codename is Lao Zhou, and my cover identity here is an antique dealer named Wu Ming."

"I hope you can last a little longer, don't be like Xiaolin."

"Believe in my abilities, Xiao Lin wouldn't have exposed himself in a short period of time if he hadn't helped you gather information."

Lao Zhou speaks the truth.

"That's right, that's why I helped him escape. We're even now."

Ripple smiled sweetly.

Old Zhou let out a light cough. This Peony wasn't someone to be trifled with, she was both skilled in literature and martial arts, her background was a mystery, and the organization had only established contact with her after much deliberation and at great risk.

"The first piece of information you asked XiaoLin to bring back, regarding the specific transaction time between the KMT and country M"

"This is also the reason why I came to visit Mr. John Lee today, I presume you've already seen it."

Lao Zhou didn't deny it; he had indeed seen someone enter John Lee's mansion through a telescope just now.

He was so attentive to John Lee because of the meeting place proposed by Peony. She had deliberately chosen a location next to John Lee's mansion, there must be a reason for this, and he now understood it.

"If all goes well, you'll have this information in a month. If not, just keep an eye on John Lee, and you'll still get something."

The ripples continued to speak.

"I understand, we'll have our people handle the everyday surveillance."

Old Zhou immediately said.

"No problem."

“Regarding the second piece of intelligence you sent back, requesting that all underground party members exposed to the public be evacuated or go into hiding, is this targeting the Kuomintang or the Japanese”

Old Zhou continued to ask.

"Lao Zhou is very sharp!"

Ripple sighed in admiration before answering her counterpart's question:

"Against the KMT!"

"Why We have a pact to fight together."

Old Zhou frowned.

"Agreements can be torn apart. Japan's surrender is imminent, and the two of you are left to fight for victory or defeat."

"I understand! How much time do we have left to prepare"

"

Less than a year.

"

"I understand."

Old Zhou Zheng focuses on the key point, there are also concerns within the party, but everyone is unwilling to bring it up explicitly. This time, taking advantage of Miss Peony's information, we can make everyone pay attention to it.

I told XiaoLin that the three Japanese officers I had him check on last must be dealt with within a month. If you have a suitable opportunity, remember to contact me.

How can I contact you

Lao Zhou asked, after all, every time it was Lin Hui who took the initiative to contact, for so long, Lin Hui had not determined the specific whereabouts and whereabouts of Peony.

You will naturally know tomorrow.

Ripple got up and left abruptly. Lao Zhou hesitated for a moment but ultimately didn't follow after her. He wasn't sure if he could keep up with Peony, and doing so might make her wary, backfiring on him.

The next day, Lao Zhou received a gift, a delicate white gift box.

He opened it and found that there was a small cage inside, with a brown little squirrel in it. The squirrel was holding a peanut and gnawing on it. When it saw Lao Zhou, it wagged its tail and then continued eating.

Last night, he had a bullet clip pressed against a card. The card was adorned with dancing dragons and phoenixes:

I will entrust the rising sun to your care. When you miss me, release her and she will carry your longing to find me.

The signature is a red peony flower.

Lao Zhou immediately understood, this was Miss Peony's little messenger to convey messages.

Over the next ten days, Lianyi kept a low profile and lived a quiet life at home. Two days later, another explosive news story topped the front page of the newspaper.

"The atomic bombs "Little Boy" and "Fat Man" were dropped on the Japanese mainland, causing 860,000 casualties, with all buildings destroyed."ey were all shocked. After that came a wave of joy. Before leaving the village, they were nervous and anxious. Now, with this windfall, they felt a little more at ease.Zhang Laogtou scanned the room,...
