Ephemeral clouds and works

Chapter 206: Ready to Strike

    

Mengyu's eyebrows jumped upon hearing the ripples' words, seemingly a little surprised. Zhao Fenglin's expression remained unchanged, even nodding approvingly before opening his mouth to speak:"Rippl...Liàn Yī now carried the corpse of his subordinate, using the crisscrossing alleys to escape from the vicinity of the Japanese headquarters. He rushed back to Hóngfēilù's residence as fast as he could. The first thing he did was to remove the officer's uniform from the body before it stiffened, leaving only a piece of cloth to cover the deceased.

At this time, the sky was already bright. After Lian'er had just finished a cup of water, the sound of the stone mill grinding came from beside her ears:

"It's too dangerous. If you were killed, you would lose your soul power, it wouldn't be worth it."

"You could have said so earlier! Well, the mission is accomplished anyway. I'll be careful and make sure to die peacefully."

Ripple rolled her eyes.

When people started appearing on the street, Ripple would write information about the retreating route of the Japanese forces and then find a young beggar, give him a basket of steamed buns, and ask him to run errands and deliver the sealed letter to John Lee's residence.

John Lee saw the blooming red peony on the envelope and knew immediately who it was from. He eagerly opened the letter, its contents were exactly as promised by the Blood Peony: intelligence used to exchange arms deals. He didn't hesitate for a moment and immediately sent the intelligence via radio.

At the same time, Ripple found the two people who were watching her, knocked on their car window, and the other party hesitantly rolled down the window.

"Tell Lieutenant Wei for me that I have important information here and he needs to come himself. I'll be waiting."

After finishing his words, he turned and walked away.

Two security guards exchanged glances, one stayed behind to continue monitoring while the other went straight to a public phone booth and made a call. After speaking in code, he quickly returned to the car, fearing it was a ploy to lure them away.

How did she get the information if she didn't even leave her house

"When are you going out to buy food"

"We were so careful, how did we miss it"

As the two were still puzzled, Vice-Official Wei received a message. He was confused, wondering what kind of information Wu Lianyi could bring them at this time.

Even Eileen suggested this might be a way for ripples to attract attention.

"Recent intelligence reports have been unusually active, she might actually have made a discovery. Why don't you and I go check it out together."

Vice Official Wei immediately made the decision.

"Okay, I'm going to get ready."

Instructor Chiang also received the news, and he approved Lieutenant Wei's decision. Whether it was true or false, they would judge for themselves.

An hour later, Eileen and Deputy Wei pretended to be a young couple and rang the doorbell of Lianyi's door.

The ripples opened the door, ushering the two people in. The moment the door closed, the familiar expressions on their faces immediately dropped. Eileen spoke first:

What kind of information makes you so determined to see Deputy Officer Wei

"Of course it's important information, I'm afraid some people might steal my credit, so I've troubled you to come in person."

Anyway, the two of them didn't get along well, and Ripple didn't hold back and retorted.

"What's the intel"

Yilin wasn't fazed by the provocation and simply asked.

Liàn Yī raised her hand and threw the miniature camera to Vice-Officer Wéi.

"This is the route of the Japanese withdrawal, the specific time isn't on the document. There's also a list, all Japanese soldiers, I don't know what it's for, so I took a picture of it too."

How did you get this information

Eileen gets straight to the point.

"This is also thanks to Instructor Eileen's care."

The ripples exuded an eerie, yin-yang energy.

"What does it mean"

You forgot, the first task you assigned me was to walk around the cell block at the headquarters in Japan. Afterward, they started watching me.

Last night, the warrant officer who had once interrogated me came to my door, wanting to take advantage of me and get rid of me. I had no choice but to kill him.

Once I confirmed he was alone at his residence, I took his key and went to his place. I found these two documents there. I was afraid that if he disappeared, it would alert the Japanese authorities, so I took photos of them and put the originals back.

Ripple spread her hands and explained.

"What a coincidence"

"It's just my luck, they must be eyeing my beauty and using me as bait to lure you out."

The ripples' answer was very certain.

Eileen's teeth itched, she endured and endured before finally saying:

"What if the information is fake"

"That's not my call to make. Anyway, I followed your instructions and got the intel. What you do with it is up to you."

Wei, the deputy officer, had examined the miniature camera and confirmed it was being used for the first time. There were no signs that the back cover had ever been opened. He looked up and said:

After we go back and check the authenticity, you don't have to worry, we won't take credit for your work.

Since you killed someone, what about the body

Eileen continued to ask.

“As a weak woman, I've already pushed myself to the limit by killing him. His body is buried in the garden as fertilizer. If you want to see it, dig it up yourself! Better yet, take it away so I don't have to worry about someone coming to investigate.”

The ripples subsided with a clatter, and he handed the small iron shovel standing beside the fireplace to Eileen.

The surface was all wet soil. Eileen wrinkled her nose and refused to touch it, saying only:

"It's broad daylight now, digging up a corpse would expose you much faster. You just need to hide well and wait for the wind to die down. We'll arrange for someone to handle it later."

"Okay, then don't forget."

With the information in hand, Eileen and Vice-Officer Wei didn't linger long. Half an hour later, they left Ripple's residence.

On the third morning, Lian Yi brought the Japanese officer's uniform to see Lao Zhou.

"I'll go in first. You put on this military uniform, disguise yourself, take this person's ID and pretend to be drunk. Enter the Nippon HQ and loudly demand to see Miyata, letting them escort you there. We'll meet up at Miyata's office."

Lao Zhou nodded in agreement, handing the other person's identification to Mei Yi. The ID had a photo of the person on it, which would make it easier for Mei Yi to disguise him.

"This is our inventory. It's very difficult to get explosives in right now. Are you satisfied"

A square wooden box was pushed to Ripple's front. When she opened it, there were twelve time bombs inside, resembling detonators.

"It's a bit short, I expected that, so we should focus on using what we have effectively. This is my design, and placing the explosives in these spots will be most effective."

Immediately, the ripples circled several key points.

"I understand!"

Lao Zhou could tell that the peony was going to explode at its main beam and load-bearing parts. As long as the bombs exploded on time, it would definitely be twice the result with half the effort.

"Sister Mei, I'll need you to take these explosives to the outer perimeter of the Japanese headquarters. It's best if you put them in a black bag and hide them there. Wait for our signal."

"Okay, no problem."

Aunt Mei immediately replied, "Old Zhou brought back the organization's decision, and she would naturally cooperate fully."

The action is set for midnight. I will go to the headquarters of Ritsuko at dawn, and five minutes after I enter, Lao Zhou will follow closely behind.

After finalizing the action plan, Lianyi left. On her way back, she called Miyata, her voice urgent:

Mr. Miyata, I have important information to report, but I am being followed right now. I will go to headquarters to find you after I lose them. Please wait for me.

Without waiting for a reply, he hung up the phone and went straight to his hidden room where he had stashed his money. After eating and drinking his fill, he fell into a sound sleep.y backed away in fear, and some even crushed their teleportation talismans to escape.Then someone noticed something amiss and immediately cried out loudly:Look! They have black aura on them!"They are...
