Chapter 204 Killing Three Birds with One Stone

This was Lianyi's second visit to the Japanese headquarters in Pingbei. The last time was after she was captured and an agreement was reached, and she was wandering around the interrogation room and the cell. This time, it was because Miyata took the initiative to summon her, so she went to the office on the first floor and was asked to update the structural diagram of the headquarters.

Ever since she moved to the small western-style building on Hongfei Road, the Kuomintang surveillance personnel no longer dared to monitor her openly. In addition, the number of times she went out after moving in could be counted on one hand. Of course, this did not include the number of times she went out at night to avoid the other party's surveillance and do things.

Although the Kuomintang left two people to continue monitoring her, they chose to monitor her from a distance. In addition, there was no credit or benefit in monitoring Lian Yi, so they just did it for show. This gave Lian Yi ample time to move around.

After Lianyi returned to her residence from the Japanese headquarters, she already had a preliminary plan. This time, she changed her face into a woman, left from the back door of the western-style building, avoided the two surveillance personnel who were dozing off in the car, and visited Lao Zhou openly.

A parasol covered her entire body, hiding most of her face, leaving only a vague glimpse of her raised red lips.

In order to distinguish herself from Peony, she wore a cheongsam with a white background embroidered with hibiscus flowers today and carried her own small bag. She showed off her good figure and was very elegant.

When she arrived at Lao Zhou's gate, she took out a small mirror to touch up her makeup. Through the small mirror, she saw the vague gazes of people passing by. She calmly put away the small mirror and rang the doorbell.

Old Zhou was reading a newspaper in the study on the second floor, feeling mixed emotions. The two nuclear bombs should be the last straw that broke the camel's back for Japan, and the other side would sign a surrender document soon. It seemed that the one year given by Mudan to evacuate their companions was too much.

At this moment, Aunt Mei, the housekeeper, knocked on the door of the study, attracted Lao Zhou's attention and said:

"Master, there is a female visitor outside the door. She said that she has entrusted Chaoyang to your place and wants to come and see you. Should we invite her in?"

After hearing this, Lao Zhou's eyes flashed, and then he smiled and nodded:

"Please ask her to come in! She's a friend of mine."

"yes!"

Five minutes later, Lianyi met Lao Zhou smoothly.

Looking at the woman in front of him with a different face, if she hadn't spoken, Lao Zhou would have definitely suspected that this person was not the same person as the Peony he had met before. After all, only the two of them knew about the existence of the little squirrel Chaoyang.

After the two of them sat down, the housekeeper named Aunt Mei brought them brewed tea, but she seemed to be observing Lian Yi from the corner of her eyes.

After Aunt Mei pushed the tea in front of Lianyi, she stepped aside with the tray, but showed no intention of leaving.

"This is Aunt Mei, hiding her identity as the housekeeper. She is also our comrade, assisting me in completing the evacuation mission."

Lao Zhou introduced the two to each other, and then said to Aunt Mei:

"This is the Peony I mentioned to you before. She has provided the organization with three important pieces of information."

Aunt Mei didn't expect that she would meet the rumored "Blood Peony" so soon. Looking at the smiling woman opposite her, she found it hard to associate the ruthless spy with the person in front of her.

"Sister Mei, nice to meet you!"

Ripple said with a smile.

"Me too, you're a little different than I imagined."

Aunt Mei also responded in a friendly manner.

"The rumor must be wrong."

Lian Yi said with great certainty.

If Old Zhou had not heard Lin Hui's retelling, he would have really believed what the other party said. At this time, he coughed lightly and changed the subject:

"Ms. Mudan, you took such a big risk to come here in the daytime. Do you have any important information to pass on?"

"There is indeed something that requires your help."

Lianyi said frankly.

"you say."

"Get me a long-range sniper rifle and enough explosives to blow up the Japanese headquarters."

Lianyi stated her request slowly.

After hearing Lian Yi's words, Lao Zhou and Aunt Mei looked at each other, and Lao Zhou said:

"You want to blow up the Japanese headquarters?"

Obviously a little surprised, after all, this is not an easy thing to do.

"Yes, it's best to set the explosives on time. I will enter the Japanese headquarters openly, and then you will help me get the explosives in. After the explosion, you will be responsible for sniping the escaping Japanese officers from a long distance. Don't leave any alive."

"This will easily alert the Japanese troops in the city."

"I'll take care of this."

Lianyi held the teacup but didn't drink a sip, and her words were very calm.

Old Zhou frowned and thought for a while before saying:

"I'll find a way to get the gunpowder, but there's a battalion of fully armed Japanese soldiers stationed there. It's dangerous for you to go in alone. I'll go with you."

"Ms. Peony, forgive me for being so frank, why are you so anxious? They will surrender sooner or later."

Aunt Mei said directly.

"It is because they are about to surrender that we have to act as soon as possible. Firstly, the three senior generals are still here. If we let them slip away, there will not be such a good opportunity next time. They are hiding in the tortoise shell, so I will blow up the entire tortoise shell.

Secondly, you all know about the Kuomintang’s previous assassination plan. Let me tell you clearly that I have that list, and I killed half of the people on that list, but I didn’t reveal my identity. Finally, the three most influential generals should naturally be blamed on the underground party. Do you understand what the people want?

Finally, you comrades who are active in Pingbei City can take advantage of this explosion to evacuate, but you must also do your homework in advance, so that these people's departure is like being silenced, and the blame will be borne by Japan, killing three birds with one stone, what do you think?"

Lianyi explained the purpose and significance of this action in a clear and logical manner, which made Lao Zhou and Aunt Mei silent.

“When will we act?”

"I'll give you three days to prepare."

"Understood. We'll try to prepare as much as possible."

Old Zhou responded.

"It's not about trying your best, it's about being prepared. The opportunity is fleeting, and taking action later will lead to negative international impact."

Ripple shook her head.

"good!"

Lianyi said everything she needed to say and simply said goodbye. After Aunt Mei personally saw Lianyi off, she quickly returned to the study.

"Old Zhou, is her plan feasible? Will there be any problems?"

"Ms. Mudan is very bold, and the key to the whole plan is whether she can successfully sneak into the Japanese headquarters. We are just playing a supporting role. And she is right. We can only take the opportunity to evacuate those comrades who are being targeted by the Kuomintang. This opportunity only comes once."

"Do I need to consult my superiors?"

"Yes! I will go out in person, and you will be responsible for contacting the people who need to be evacuated in Pingbei City. Don't be too specific, just say there will be riots in the next few days and ask them to stay at home. Be careful not to alert the Kuomintang personnel who are monitoring them."

"Okay, let's split up."

The two reached a consensus in a few words, and a moment later Aunt Mei carried a basket and went to the market to buy vegetables. Their mobile liaison officer was there, and the news would spread quickly.

Lao Zhou drove to the antique shop he owned, where there was a dark room with a radio, so he could contact the organization without leaving the city.

An hour after sending the message, Lao Zhou received a reply from the organization:

"Assist Blood Peony to complete the mission!"
