fulfill her wish."The ripples, her voice changed too, low and bloodthirsty. Especially with that little white tooth she showed, Zhao Zhuanzi was almost scared to pee his pants. His legs went weak and...Tonight, Ripples was dressed in black. The night was her best cover. Under the faint moonlight, she saw that there were people lurking around Lin Hui's residence. His rented two-story attic was pitch black, and she didn't know if the people inside were dead or alive.

Liàn Yī touched out a dagger that gleamed with cold light. A purple gemstone, the size of a mung bean, was inlaid on the handle of the dagger. This was Lei Yào Jian, belonging to Liàn Yī's ancestor. It had only been suppressed into the shape of an ordinary dagger in this world where there was no trace of spiritual energy. Even so, this dagger could cleave hair with a single stroke.

This was a gift from Old Wu, thanking her for saving his life. Lian Yi still remembered the cryptic words Old Wu had said back then.

"This was a gift from a friend of mine who loves collecting antiques. The origin and material of this dagger are unknown, but it is remarkably sharp and compact, making it ideal for self-defense."

"Now Pingbei's situation is chaotic, this gift I give to you is just right, hope that you don't have to use it one day."

The ripples couldn't refuse the return of her soulmate sword, Lei Yao, to her hand. She blushed and thanked him, accepting this gift. Now was the time she had to use it.

Half an hour later, the people who had been ambushing in secret were all dealt with. Ripple harvested a dozen or so guns and, from the hideous state of the briefs worn by their opponents, determined that these ambushers belonged to Japan.

Although it was seen by chance, Lianyi felt the need to go back and wash her eyes properly.

When ripples entered Lin Hui's room, the latter was pacing back and forth on the ground, clearly very anxious. When he saw that Ripples was unharmed, he immediately said:

"Miss Mudan, I've been targeted by the Japanese. You should leave here first!"

Ripples twirled the gun in his hand, laughing and saying:

"Rest assured! They can no longer control you now. I just didn't expect you to be alive. These people are the ones you called."

She said it was a declarative sentence.

"Yes, recently I've been frequently inquiring about information regarding high-ranking Japanese military officers, which is why they've targeted me. I moved out of my previous place and to here less than ten days ago, and they already came looking for me."

But they didn't arrest me, they just used me as bait to catch whoever was in contact with me.

Lin Hui anxiously explained.

"They know the one who trades information with you is me"

Ripples looked around, and asked leisurely.

"I don't know, they didn't contact me at all. They just locked me in the house and I couldn't even notify Miss Peony."

Lin Hui said with some regret.

"Are you sure you didn't betray me"

Ripple put away her gun and instead, raised her hand to push Lin Hui down into a chair. She smiled and asked,

“No, I dare not, nor will I!”

Lin Hui shook his head like a tambourine.

"That's good, now pack your things and leave here."

Ripple commanded.

A light touch on his shoulder, and Lin Hui immediately stood up. He pulled open a drawer, took out some papers inside, then lit them with a match and threw them into an ashtray. The weak fire illuminated his face, which was now very solemn.

Then he put away everything in the house that could expose his whereabouts, and jumped out the window without disturbing the tenants on the first floor.

Ren ripples deliberately took him to the back alley, glanced at the corpses of those Japanese people, and in Lin Hui's somewhat dazed eyes, dragged the other party away from their previous residence.

Lin Hui felt that his mood was really up and down tonight. He was rejected, and it seemed like he had also dragged Miss Peony down.

Before parting ways, Lianyi gave the other person a handgun, saying bluntly:

"You better leave Pingbei City after daybreak. Change your identity and get in touch with me through someone else. Have them rent a place near John Lee's guesthouse in M country. I'll find him then."

"OK, I got it!"

Lin Hui nodded solemnly, then turned and ran into the alley. As for Lian Yi, she melted back into the darkness, secretly watching Lin Hui until he reached the city gate. She hid among the crowd waiting to leave the city and watched him for a long time before returning to her own residence.

Lin Hui only then truly breathed a sigh of relief; the gaze of death had just disappeared.

He knew that tonight's events had aroused Miss Peony's suspicions. Taking her to see the corpses was a warning, and even the gun he gave him was a test. If he had any bad thoughts, he would be another corpse tonight.

In Pingbei City, information brokers almost all know this mysterious Miss Peony, and even gave her the nickname "Blood Peony," meaning was self-evident. Every time she appeared, she would take away one or two people who didn't know when to stop. Unless necessary, everyone would avoid offending this mysterious Peony.

Lin Hui was a little annoyed because of his carelessness, he almost got himself into danger, and even almost implicated Miss Peony. In the end, he managed to get out of trouble, but he still needed someone else's help, which made him feel very incompetent.

After daybreak, Lin Hui left Pingbei City with the people waiting to exit. Even leaving the city cost him a silver coin, which made him even more certain that Ríguo had already entered its final state of madness.

Lin Hui went to see his superior and explained that he had to leave temporarily due to an unexpected incident. He also told them about meeting Miss Peony, who helped him escape.

"Lao Zhou, this time it was my mistake. It also caused Miss Mudan to suspect the organization. I request to be punished."

Lin Hui said somewhat dejectedly.

The man, known as Lao Zhou, was wearing a charcoal gray robe. His hair was meticulously styled and he had a short goatee that covered half of his face.

"It's lucky you managed to get away. Besides telling you your new meeting point, is there anything else Madam Peony wants to say"

Lao Zhou continued to ask.

"She also gave me a captured gun for self-defense."

Saying that, he pulled out a small handgun hidden in his waist and handed it to Lao Zhou.

As soon as Zhou Lao got his hands on the pistol, he noticed something was amiss. He turned the gun over and saw that there was no magazine. Instead, a rolled-up piece of paper was tucked inside. With a flick of his little finger, he pulled it out.

"Xiaolin, you were really reckless this time. If Miss Peony was an enemy, you wouldn't have made it out of Pingbei City alive."

Lin Hui's scalp went numb at the sight of the pistol, which lacked a magazine. If he were truly a traitor, with the gun in hand and Miss Peony facing away from him, he would have definitely pulled the trigger without hesitation. That moment would have been the true death knell for the traitor.

"Now you're scared"

"That's some!"

"Being called a blood peony, she has her own way of survival, especially this lone wolf type, will be even more dangerous."

Although we don't know the other party's ultimate goal yet, she has taken the initiative to extend an olive branch to us. We should proceed step by step.

"To be an intelligence operative without faith, completely driven by self-interest, is truly terrifying."nd explained what had happened.Zhou Zi Jue held the lipstick in his hand, coldly asking Zhang Hui:"What have you done""I did this to get revenge on Hongyu. I had someone tamper with her lipstick. What...
