memory at all.""How long has she been following you Have you noticed anything unusual"The ripples continued to ask.She already had a good idea of who this Ghost Queen was.She followed me for a month...."Didn't I say that if there's something, I'll go find you Why are you so impatient and have to follow me"

Her figure rippled and was completely swallowed by the shadow, especially after she donned that black cloak, making her perfectly blend into the darkness. At this moment, looking at the man who seemed lost and bewildered, she could only softly speak.

The man immediately turned his head, following the sound, and looked at the pair of feet showing under the eaves. He swallowed nervously and then whispered:

"I want to remind Miss Peony, the Baron is a Japanese intelligence agent, so be careful."

"Do I know anything else"

"Poof!"

I don't know why, every time I see Miss Peony, I get a little nervous.

"I have something big to offer you guys. The KMT and a country starting with 'M' are buying a batch of weapons, enough to arm an entire division. If you’re interested, I can try to get the details on when and where the deal goes down. Whether or not you can pull it off depends on your skills."

Ripples emerged from the darkness, a red smile curving on her lips.

Upon hearing this, the man was jolted. This was big news, and very beneficial news for their underground party.

"Miss Peony, please rest assured, I will take the message back."

The man immediately agreed.

The ripples nodded in satisfaction, then sank back into the darkness. In the blink of an eye, it vanished once more.

The man steadied himself, then turned and left immediately. He was going to take this good news back to the organization. If they could get their hands on this weapons cache, they could arm more squads.

Over the years, in their battles with Japan, they had seized some weapons, and coupled with weapons produced by their own military factories, they were only barely equipped for battle. However, in terms of the advanced nature and power of weaponry, the US was undoubtedly first.

If this message gets out, there will definitely be many people who want to take advantage of it. They need to prepare in advance.

Ripples shed their disguise, returning to their home silently. They turned around and went to sleep. The next day, they continued to be themselves, the teacher.

Miyata couldn't get more information from John Lee. Finally, under pressure from the M nation, he had to release John Lee. However, Miyata arranged for people to secretly monitor this intelligence dealer. He had a hunch that by keeping an eye on John Lee, he would be able to find Peony.

Having lost five intelligence operatives, Miyata was furious. In the end, he accepted Ripple's suggestion and decided to play it smart. He would help Ripple obtain the assassination list as quickly as possible. If they continued like this, they had no chance of winning.

Three days later, Lianyi received an invitation to a student gathering. She saw a piece of paper tucked inside the invitation and, after scanning the content on it, smiled at the person who delivered it and said:

"Okay, I'll definitely make time to attend."

As he turned, he crumpled the note and tossed it into the gutter.

On the third day after receiving the post, which happened to be a school holiday, Lian Yi still wore a simple cheongsam, put on light makeup, and carried her small bag to keep her appointment.

This time the international student gathering was held at a British-run Western restaurant. They rented out a small hall on the second floor. Lianyi arrived on time and started chatting with the other students, even sharing about her recent string of bad luck.

"I'm going to the temple to pray and get rid of my bad luck."

Ripple said helplessly.

"You are indeed going to meet someone. Instead of saying you're unlucky, it's better to say you're lucky because you always have good fortune helping you, and everything goes smoothly."

A male classmate who worked at a bank said.

"What you said makes sense. If we're talking about a noble person, it must be Old Wu. It seems like my decision to teach at Yimin was the right one after all."

The ripples also smiled and said.

"Indeed!"

"It's better for girls to be more stable!"

After a flurry of chatter, Lianyi excused herself to the restroom, leaving the gathering in the small hall with her little bag.

As Ripples passed the hallway leading to the restroom, she saw in a small parlor across the corridor from their gathering, several Japanese people having their meal. Though they were dressed in casual clothes, their haughty demeanor made her certain these were the victims Miyata had provided.

She kept walking, only glancing inside with the corner of her eye for a moment. She saw three people inside and then turned around and went downstairs, smiling and saying to the receptionist:

“We want to organize a bigger gathering next week. Our current small hall isn't big enough. Could we book another, larger banquet hall Ideally, one that can accommodate around fifty people I just went to the restroom and saw an empty banquet hall next door that fits our requirements. Can we book that one”

The waiter, after hearing this, thought for a moment and then said with some apology:

"I'm sorry, ma'am, that banquet hall has been booked long-term and is unavailable for rent!"

"Although this is a long-term lease, it shouldn't be entertaining guests every day, right I can make any day of the week work for me. Could you figure something out"

The ripples seemed to really like the look of that banquet hall.

"I'm sorry, ma'am. While that banquet hall doesn't host guests every day, there are always diners coming in for meals daily, so..."

The waiter was also helpless. They wanted to earn more money too, but those people were powerful and they couldn't afford to offend them. They could only cater to their demands and let them occupy the best banquet hall in the entire store. Before this, some people had also tried to book that banquet hall, but unfortunately, nothing came of it in the end.

"Well, never mind then. I won't trouble you. I'll go and have a look at someone else's place."

After politely thanking the ripples, she went upstairs.

"Ripples, how come you've been gone for so long I didn't see you in the restroom!"

A female classmate asked.

"I went to the front desk! This gathering was quite successful. I'm thinking of taking the lead next time and organizing another one."

Ripple smiled and said.

"Indeed, William chose a good place."

Everyone agreed.

After everyone finished dinner, the gathering came to an end, and ripples also gathered some useful information from the classmates.

The next day, Lian Yi reported the secret meeting point of the Japanese officers to Wei Fuan's contact information.

Upon receiving the message, Deputy Officer Wei immediately went to see his superior officer and handed him the intelligence Ripple had sent back.

This intel should be fine, it's just currently unconfirmed. We can't say for sure if the Japanese officer there is on our assassination list.

Instructor Chiang affirmed the authenticity of this intelligence report.

"I'll have someone keep an eye on things for a while. If this is a trap set by Ripple and the Japanese, we can use this opportunity to test it out. If not, then we continue with the decapitation plan."

Captain Wei is still relatively objective.

If Eileen were here, she would definitely say this was evidence of ripples and the sun country colluding.

"Investigate further how she unexpectedly obtained this information."

Instructor Jiang ordered.

"Yes, subordinate will investigate this immediately."

Ten days later, a murder took place at Charlie's Western Restaurant in Yanping Street, with four Japanese military officers who had gone there to dine being killed.

Liàn yī was the one who saw the news on the newspaper. She sighed inwardly, thinking that the Kuomintang was indeed ruthless and decisive in their actions. They had both tested her and accomplished their mission.been thinking about you all these years."Looking at the young girl across from her, dressed in plain cotton clothes, Lianyi frowned. She disliked the calculating glint in the girl's eyes.Perhaps becau...
