ounty town had been sold, and I thought that's why you came here in such a hurry to make sure you were safe."This Mr. Li, with his temples streaked with gray, was a master of words, leaving half spoke...Lao Zhou looked at the several wooden boxes piled beside him. He had to say, it was really fortune favoring them. There happened to be a batch of explosives they had stockpiled here before. Their purpose was to blow up the entire shop if they were exposed, giving them a chance to escape. Now, it was perfect for blowing up the Japanese headquarters.

Lao Zhou was worried that this wouldn't be enough, but it was very difficult to get the bomb into Pingbei City at this time.

Once ripples returned to her dwelling, she began to formulate a plan of action. She wanted to consider every aspect from all angles.

Firstly, after entering the headquarters in Japan, how can she move freely within it, receive the explosives sent by Lao Zhou, and install them at important locations Also, the quantity of explosives needs to be considered.

Three days was enough time for Lao Zhou to get the explosives. Feeling a little guilty about asking, she decided to only plant them in the basement cells, interrogation rooms, and the load-bearing columns on the first floor. These two levels were part of the foundation; if they collapsed, the two floors above would naturally come down as well. It would achieve the same effect.

The second thing was the troops stationed outside by Japan. They had to be held back, and she knew she couldn't do that alone. She thought it would be better if the Nationalist Party took the lead. But she needed a perfect excuse, one that would make them help voluntarily.

Last time she was summoned by Kiyota, those people were already loading things onto a truck. These were all the riches that had been plundered and extorted from the country of Japan. She definitely couldn't let them transport it away successfully. She only wished she had more manpower, otherwise she would have definitely led people to intercept them halfway.

Ren ri planned for half a day, but there was always something unsatisfactory. Finally, she went all out and went directly to the headquarters of Japan, aiming for Miyata's office.

Because she was going in alone, she was extra careful. She waited until people were at their most tired and only one squad of soldiers remained patrolling the courtyard before she used a tall tree outside the wall to avoid the watchtowers on the high buildings and leaped into the courtyard.

The ripple landed silently, swiftly disappearing into the shadows. Only after confirming it hadn't been seen did it carefully open a window on the first floor and slip inside soundlessly. This was Miyata's office; she had already studied the infiltration route during her second visit.

She gently closed the window, ripples sweeping across the room. Then she walked to her desk and began searching, wanting to see if there was any new information. She also wanted to destroy the evidence Miyata had against her.

Just then, the ripples heard the sound of the door opening. She frowned and immediately ducked under the table.

Just as she had taken cover, the door was opened. The intruder came in without switching on the lights. After a brief pause, he made straight for her hiding table and then there was the sound of a gunshot from his pistol. A familiar voice followed:

"Come out! Don't hide! I saw you when you came in."

Ringlets frowned, then weakly crawled out from under the table, raising her hand and saying:

"Hold your fire, I'm out here!"

Take off the face mask.

The other party's hand was steady, pointing at the ripples and commanding directly.

The ripples gently pulled off their own mask, revealing their true face.

At this point, the other person finally spoke:

"So it was you all along! I had a feeling something was off about you, but Chief Miyata insisted on using you."

The man with the gun was Miyata's adjutant, he had seen Ripple before.

"I just wanted to steal the evidence of the traitor who betrayed the National Party. You left, and didn't take me with you, using me as a pawn. I had no other choice."

"After finishing her ripple's description, she bit her lip and then whispered:"

"Please let me go, I just came in and haven't touched anything. Please don't tell Captain Miyata, I'll do whatever you want!"

"Who knows if you're truly defecting to us, or still a KMT intelligence agent in disguise. You're here for information, I'm sure of it. I don't want to hear your excuses, get out! You know this cell well enough."

The man remained unmoved.

Ripple could only slowly approach the other party. The adjutant was very wary, this trained intelligence officer was very dangerous, so he took a step back, making way for the door, his pistol still pointed at Ripple.

"Don't play tricks, open the door yourself."

Ripple Noodles nodded silently, then walked over and pulled the door. But after pulling it once, it didn't open. She pulled it again, but still nothing. She could only frown and turn back to say:

"Aide, you locked the door, I can't open it."

The adjutant saw that the other party's actions didn't seem like a lie. He waved his pistol and said:

You take a step back, and I'll have a look.

Ripple sensed the other's hesitation and stepped back, holding up her hands to maintain a safe distance between them.

As the officer's hand moved toward the hilt, ripples danced lightly and reached behind him.

The adjutant had been on high alert, feeling a gust of wind sweep past him. He quickly turned around and pulled the trigger, but there was no gunshot because Ripple's fingertip just happened to be pressing down on the trigger, preventing it from being pulled.

As the officer opened his mouth to shout, a punch landed squarely on his chest. He heard the unmistakable crack of his ribs breaking and his cry turned into a gasp. His breathing became increasingly rapid, then his body slowly went limp. His eyes glazed over, leaving only ripples in their depths as an icy visage stared back.

After Ripple made sure the other party had completely disappeared, she leaned against the door with her person and began rummaging through the drawers. Finding nothing, she stubbornly went through them again. At the bottom of the table, she discovered a hidden compartment embedded in it. If she hadn't been hiding under the table before, it would have been very difficult to find.

There are two secret files inside, one is the retreat route of the Japanese army. They have prepared three routes, apparently they will choose the route on the day of the retreat. The other one is a list, which is exactly the list of suicide squad members that Miyata asked her to cooperate with in creating chaos before.

Ripples took out a miniature camera and started shooting. This was still the equipment provided by the KMT, actually, after seeing the contents on it, she had already memorized them. Taking pictures was just to appease the people from the KMT.

After finishing all of that, she carefully restored the file and put it back in the secret compartment. Then, hiding in the shadow cast by the curtain, she watched the squad of soldiers who had just passed by, yawning, and the searchlights sweeping aimlessly.

In the flash of light, ripples swiftly opened the window, sending the adjutant's body out. Then he jumped out himself, shutting the window and restoring the latch with a soft wire.

By now the sky was almost light. Leaving on her own wouldn't be a problem, but the unfortunate reality was that the adjutant's body would expose their intrusion. She had to either conceal the body or take it with her. After much deliberation, Lianyi decided to take the adjutant with her.

Under the cover of darkness, she tied a rope around the lieutenant's waist and swung him in a circle, launching him toward the tree she had entered. It was a risky move that relied heavily on her strength; otherwise, it wouldn't have worked at all.

There, under that sturdy tree with strong branches, the officer's body was supported. Ripples didn't hesitate. Using that rope, she swung out of the courtyard.

The big tree rustled loudly, attracting the attention of patrolling soldiers. They shouted and ran over, but only saw swaying branches. A cat's meow came from outside the wall, but when they reached the wall, they found nothing.eased, but she was also rather helpless. She couldn't possibly knock the person unconscious and take them to the back garden, could she That would only confirm the rumors even more."Madam, what shall...
