Chapter 196 Peony Reappears
"The plan remains unchanged. We will continue to execute it. This will also help us verify whether Wu Lianyi has betrayed us."
Instructor Jiang made the final decision.
"Yes, sir!"
They both responded in unison.
Lianyi spent the next month under Japanese surveillance. She was very well-behaved, going to class, leaving get out of class, and returning to the dormitory as planned, and she rarely even stepped out of the school.
Teacher Sun, who worked in the same office, often mocked her for being timid and trying to make a name for herself.
"Teacher Sun, if you were innocently implicated and sent to the prison of the Japanese headquarters, you might not be braver than me. You'd better stop laughing at me here. I'm already very grateful to be able to come back alive."
After hearing these words, Teacher Sun was speechless.
In the next month and a half, three more Japanese officers were killed one after another. This made the top generals of Japan a little uneasy. They knew who did it, but they couldn't catch the person, which made them very annoyed.
Miyata finally couldn't hold it in anymore and visited Lianyi's residence one night.
"We want you to get the hit list as soon as possible."
"Mr. Miyata, I am now idle by the National Party. I am not cleared of suspicion. They will not easily let me access intelligence. I was just an assistant in the last assassination mission. I don't know who they want to assassinate."
Lianyi spread her hands helplessly.
"I will withdraw the people who are watching you tonight, making it look like we are unable to take care of you and transferring more personnel to protect senior officers, so that you can move more easily."
"This is not enough, at least I need to regain their trust."
"What do you want to do?"
Miyata narrowed his eyes.
"Since they are assassinating your senior officers, what if I accidentally help them?"
"You want to kill the Emperor's outstanding officers!!"
There was a flash of murderous intent in Miyata's eyes.
"Mr. Miyata, this is just a means of tackling this. There is a saying in China that goes, 'You can't catch a wolf without sacrificing a lamb.' Besides, I don't believe that there are no colleagues in such a large corps of officers who don't get along with you.
Taking this opportunity, I can regain the trust of the Kuomintang and get rid of those who dislike you. Why not do it? "
Lianyi's words were full of temptation.
Miyata's eyes flashed, and he did not reject it outright this time. After all, the closer he was to the emperor, the more respected he would be. If he could take this opportunity to remove the obstacles, it would be very beneficial to his promotion.
"Don't act rashly for now. I'll contact you after I've studied it."
"Okay, I'll wait for good news from Mr. Miyata."
Lianyi lowered her eyes and said.
After Miyata returned to the headquarters, he sat in his office and began to consider the feasibility of Lianyi's proposal.
To be fair, the other party's proposal was very tempting, and in order to obtain the assassination list, some sacrifices were inevitable. Even if this woman had ulterior motives, he had the leverage over her, and it was not him who killed anyone. After the incident, he could also put all the blame on the woman.
Finally, Miyata decided to take a chance, this was a great opportunity.
But before he decided who to make the victim, someone came in and whispered in his ear:
"The intelligence broker named Mudan has appeared."
"when?"
"Just now, our intelligence agent has stabilized the other party and proposed a deal to him."
"Bring the men with you, let's capture that woman first and get the intelligence."
“This is not in line with the rules of intelligence trading”
"Rules are made by the strong!"
Miyata said dissatisfiedly, then grabbed the black windbreaker on the chair and left the headquarters in a hurry.
Lianyi left the dormitory right after Miyata withdrew his people. In order to force Miyata to make a decision early, she wanted to start a fire, so she transformed into the mysterious intelligence broker Mudan and went to the bar.
Mudan's reappearance immediately attracted the attention of many people. The short baron was the first to step forward and said:
"Ms. Peony, you disappeared for too long. We thought you had completed the transaction."
"Of course not. I just let the news ferment to prove the authenticity of this intelligence to everyone. The five Japanese officers who were killed before were all on the list."
Lianyi said with a smile, holding the wine in her hand.
The baron's hands unconsciously clenched, then immediately loosened, and said with an unchanged expression:
"I see. As long as the information is in your hands, I am willing to buy it."
"Me too!"
"Me too"
Lianyi was surrounded by everyone, and the people around her had already started bidding.
In the end, the five people who bid the highest were called to a private room by Lianyi to talk alone.
"All five of you are interested, but there is only one piece of information. Take a look."
"Ms. Peony, according to your rules, the one with the highest bid wins. Do you have any objections?"
The Baron said immediately, as if he was afraid that Lianyi would go back on his word.
"certainly!"
"No problem! I'm determined to get this information!"
"Don't talk big, just give me the price first!"
Another woman said.
Lianyi nodded to show that she had no objection, and then watched the five people start bidding in turn, raising the price of one small yellow croaker after another.
Lianyi raised the corners of her eyes and realized that these five people were in the same group. Their purpose was to delay time. As for why, she knew it very well.
Then she walked to the baron with a smile, patted him on the shoulder, and said to the other four people:
"Your price is too high, Mr. Baron. As long as you are willing to pay 60 small yellow croakers, I will sell you this information."
At this time, the price for five people was increased to forty small yellow croakers.
The baron's body stiffened, and then he said a little embarrassedly:
"Ms. Mudan, I don't have that many small yellow croakers on hand. Fifty at most, that's my limit."
Obviously still trying to bargain.
"What about you? Can't you afford it?"
Ripple asked as she placed her hand on the other man next to the Baron.
"this"
Unfortunately, the other party only said one word before Lian Yi started to attack. With two "clicks", Lian Yi started to work on both sides at the same time, breaking the necks of the baron and the man. Then she raised her foot and kicked directly at the edge of the table. The round table immediately moved and knocked the other three people against the wall.
Screams came from the three people's mouths. When they reacted, three gunshots rang out, "Puff, puff", and the screams of the three people stopped abruptly.
Lianyi put away the gun in her hand, climbed directly to the roof through the second-floor window of the box, and then quickly left the bar. When she jumped onto the roof of another building, she saw a Japanese military vehicle parked in front of the bar, and then the soldiers in the vehicle quickly got out and surrounded the entire bar.
"Luckily I reacted quickly!"
Lianyi wrapped herself in a black cloak, crawled to the roof of another house, then jumped into the dark alley and quickly disappeared into the alley.
At this time, a figure walked out from the dark. He looked at the person who was leaving in a hurry, hesitated for a moment, and then followed quietly.
On the other side, when Miyata rushed into the private room on the second floor with his men, he saw five corpses. These five people were all intelligence officers of their Japanese country.
