Chapter 201: Full of Doubts

Lianyi was dressed in black tonight. The night was her best cover. With the faint moonlight, she saw that there were people lying in ambush around Lin Hui's residence. The small attic on the second floor he rented was also pitch black. She didn't know whether the people inside were dead or alive.

Lianyi took out a dagger that was shining with a cold light. A purple gem the size of a broad bean was inlaid on the handle of the dagger. This was the Lei Yao Sword that belonged to Lianyi's ancestor. However, in this world without any spiritual energy, it was pressed into the shape of an ordinary dagger. But even so, this dagger was a sharp weapon that could cut hair with a single blow.

This was given to her by Old Wu to thank her for saving his life. Lianyi still remembers the meaningful words Old Wu said at that time.

“This was given to me by a friend who likes to collect antiques. The origin of this dagger is unknown, and its material is also unknown, but it is extremely sharp and small, making it suitable for girls to use for self-defense.

The situation in Pingbei is chaotic right now, so this is just the right gift for you. I hope you won’t need it one day.”

Lianyi really couldn't refuse to have her natal sword Lei Yao returned to her hands, so she thanked him shamelessly and accepted the gift. Now it was time to use it.

Half an hour later, all the ambushers were eliminated. Lianyi obtained more than a dozen guns and also determined from the ugliest of the other party's crotchless pants that these ambushers were from Japan.

Although she saw it accidentally, Lianyi felt that she needed to go back and wash her eyes.

When Lianyi entered Lin Hui's room, he was walking back and forth on the floor, obviously very anxious. When he saw Lianyi appear intact, he immediately said:

"Ms. Mudan, I'm being targeted by Japan. You'd better leave here first!"

Lian Yi turned the gun in his hand and said with a smile:

"Don't worry! They can't control you now. I just didn't expect you to be still alive. You must have invited these people."

She said it in the affirmative.

"Yes, recently, I have been frequently asking about the news of those senior Japanese military officers, so they started to target me. I gave up my previous house and moved here. Less than ten days later, they came looking for me.

But they didn’t arrest me, they just used me as bait to lure out the people who were in contact with me.”

Lin Hui explained anxiously.

"Do they know that I was the one who traded information with you?"

Lianyi looked around and asked slowly.

"I don't know. They didn't even contact me. Instead, they trapped me in the house. I couldn't even notify Miss Peony."

Lin Hui said with some annoyance.

"Are you sure you didn't betray me?"

Lianyi put away the gun in her hand, raised her hand and pushed Lin Hui to sit on the chair, and asked with a smile.

"No I don't dare, and I won't!"

Lin Hui shook his head like a rattle.

"That's good. Now pack up and get out of here."

Ripple ordered.

Feeling a relief on his shoulder, Lin Hui immediately stood up, opened the drawer, took out some papers inside, then lit them with a match and threw them into the spittoon. The faint light illuminated his face, and his expression was solemn at this moment.

Then he collected everything in the house that could reveal his whereabouts and jumped out of the window without alerting the tenants on the first floor.

Lianyi took him to the back alley and took a look at the corpses of the Japanese. With Lin Hui's somewhat dizzy eyes, she dragged him away from his previous residence.

Lin Hui felt that his mood was really up and down tonight. He was disliked and seemed to be holding Miss Mudan back.

Before the two separated, Lian Yi handed the other a pistol and said bluntly:

"You'd better leave Pingbei City after daybreak and find someone else to contact me. Let him rent a house next to the mansion of John Lee, the intelligence dealer from Country M. I will go find him then."

"Okay, I'll make a note of it!"

Lin Hui nodded solemnly, then turned and ran into the alley, while Lianyi sank back into the darkness, secretly watching Lin Hui go to the city gate and hide among a group of people waiting to leave the city. She looked at him for a long time before returning to her residence.

Only at this moment did Lin Hui truly breathe a sigh of relief; the death stare had just disappeared.

He knew that what happened tonight had aroused Miss Mudan's suspicion. She took her to see the pile of corpses as a warning to him, and even the gun given to him was a test of him. If he had any bad thoughts, he would become one of the corpses tonight.

Almost all the intelligence brokers in Pingbei City know this mysterious Miss Peony, and some even nicknamed her "Blood Peony". The meaning is self-evident. Every time she appears, she will take away one or two people who are ignorant of the current situation. Unless it is necessary, no one will offend this mysterious Peony.

Lin Hui felt a little annoyed because he was careless and almost got himself into danger. He even almost implicated Miss Mudan. In the end, he needed help from others to escape from the predicament, which made him feel very bad about himself.

After dawn, Lin Hui left Pingbei City together with those who were waiting to leave the city. Even though he left the city, he was charged a silver dollar, which made him even more certain that Japan had begun to enter its final state of madness.

Lin Hui went to meet his superior and explained the reason for his temporary evacuation due to an emergency. He also told him about his encounter with Miss Mudan and how she helped him escape.

"Old Zhou, this was my mistake, and it caused Miss Mudan to doubt the organization. I request punishment."

Lin Hui said somewhat frustrated.

The man called Lao Zhou was wearing a smoky grey robe, his hair was neatly groomed, and he had a short beard that covered half of his face.

"You are lucky to be able to escape successfully. In addition to telling you the new meeting place, does Miss Mudan have any other instructions?"

Lao Zhou continued to ask.

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

As he said this, he took out the small pistol hidden at his waist and handed it to Lao Zhou.

As soon as Lao Zhou got the pistol, he noticed something strange. He turned the handle of the gun and saw that there was no magazine at all. Instead, there was a rolled-up piece of paper stuck there, which he hooked out with his little finger.

"Xiao Lin, you are in real danger this time. If this Miss Mudan is an enemy, you will definitely not have a chance to leave Pingbei City alive."

When Lin Hui saw the pistol without a magazine, his scalp tingled. If he was a real traitor, when he got the pistol and Miss Mudan had her back to him, he would definitely raise the gun without hesitation, and that would be the real death of the traitor.

"Are you scared now?"

“Just a little!”

“Being called the Blood Peony, she has her own ability to survive, especially a lone ranger like this, who is even more dangerous.

Although we don't know the other party's ultimate goal now, she has taken the initiative to extend an olive branch to us, so we will just take it one step at a time.

It is very scary for those who work in intelligence to have no faith and be completely dominated by interests. "

There will be another chapter later, which will be uploaded once it is coded.
