Wei Yi ignored Lianyi's weakness and slightly resentful look, and asked her to help the next day, and then sent her away.
Lianyi returned to the large office of the Analysis Department and began to sigh and complain, feeling that she had been betrayed by the Section Chief.
"Xiao Wu, don't go against the section chief. Go over there and behave yourself, and try to get back to the analysis department as soon as possible."
Yang Bin soothed.
"I thought so too, but I don't think they would give me a chance. They might even use their power to take revenge on me. I don't want to be played around by them."
"This is the section chief's order, you can't disobey it, just let it go!"
In the end, Lianyi reluctantly went to the intelligence gathering department, but she only did the tasks assigned to her and was unwilling to do more.
Because of the arms purchase, Yilin hasn't been able to take care of Lianyi recently, which has given her some free time.
Before John Lee told her the exact time of the arms deal, all alerts began to be lifted one after another. She had a feeling that the deal might be in progress or might have been completed, otherwise there would not be such an abnormal situation.
The Kuomintang is clearly trying to create the impression that something big is about to happen and that they have made all the necessary preparations. They are deliberately being relaxed on the outside but tight on the inside, but in fact they are trying to lure people into a trap.
Lianyi also discovered that Yilin was setting up a trap to frame her.
She was asked several times as a non-staff member to deliver confidential documents, but she refused directly and said in front of everyone:
"Chief Yilin, this is a confidential document. I am not qualified to deliver it as a helper. Moreover, this is not in line with the management method of confidential documents. Please ask your staff to deliver it!"
After saying this, without waiting for Yilin to get angry, he left and went to Wei Yi to complain and apply to be transferred back to the Intelligence Analysis Department.
Wei Yi nodded and just said:
"I know about this matter. If you hold on for two more days, I will transfer you back."
"Thank you, Chief."
Although she was somewhat reluctant, Lianyi still agreed.
That night, when Lianyi returned to her residence, she saw the little squirrel Chaoyang, who was chewing peanuts in the fruit bowl with his cheeks bulging.
After seeing Lianyi, he jumped onto her shoulders and rubbed her cheek to show affection.
Lianyi understood that the underground party could not wait any longer, so she went to Lao Zhou's residence that night.
"Peony, long time no see!"
Old Zhou said with a smile.
This was the first time they met since the bombing of the Japanese headquarters.
"Long time no see. You asked Chaoyang to notify me to meet you. Do you want to ask about the arms sale?"
Ripple always gets straight to the point.
"Yes, and some of our comrades in Pingbei are under surveillance by the Kuomintang."
Lian Yi frowned and said:
"Before, you should have evacuated some people by bombing the Japanese headquarters. Didn't you let the rest evacuate after that?"
“Before Japan surrendered, our people did not dare to act rashly. Afterwards, some people who had registered with the Kuomintang did find opportunities to leave.
But recently they have been under surveillance one after another. Some of them forced their way out, but disappeared as soon as they left Pingbei City.
Our comrades were unable to contact the person, so they could only pass the message to me and asked me to think of a solution.
I don’t think this is optimistic. They must have been arrested, but we have no evidence and cannot directly ask for their release.”
Lao Zhou was in a bad mood, which proved that the information that Mudan had told them before was becoming a reality.
“I already have specific information about the arms sale, but based on the intelligence I received, the transaction location is not in Pingbei City.
The KMT has already raised a sum of money, but its whereabouts remain a mystery. According to my investigations from various sources, this money is what the KMT uses to trade in arms.
You can notify outsiders to track where the money is going.”
"Okay, I understand."
"You'd better find a way to rescue these comrades before you break off relations with the Kuomintang. Otherwise, if the agreement is torn up, they will be the first victims. And you must also make sure that there are no betrayers among them."
Ripple said calmly.
"Peony, are you sure?"
"Sure."
"How long?"
"Three months."
"I see."
"As for the people who were arrested, give me their information and I'll look for it."
"good."
Old Zhou seemed to have been prepared and gave Lianyi the list and photos of the missing persons.
The next day, when Lianyi ran into the Kuomintang action team head-on, she saw a familiar face. The other person was the one in the photo that Lao Zhou had shown her the day before.
"Qianqian, are you taking any action?"
Lianyi asked the friend who had trained with her before.
The girl named Qianqian just nodded and walked away. She didn’t think she was very familiar with Lianyi.
Lianyi didn't really want to talk to the other person, she just used the excuse to stop and take a closer look at the person.
The other party subconsciously lowered his head, quickened his pace and followed Qianqian away.
"We are all from the same period, why are you so cold?"
Lianyi shook her head helplessly and then walked into the office building.
"Xiao Wu, Chief Wei is looking for you."
Yang Bin said immediately when he saw Lianyi walking in.
"Brother Yang, can I go back to the analysis department now?"
"I'm not sure, but you should be careful. I just saw Section Chief Yilin go to see our section chief."
Yang Bin said in a low voice.
After Lian Yi heard this, her expression changed and she gritted her teeth and said:
"I knew that Yilin deliberately transferred me to help, and she would definitely take revenge on me."
"You should go quickly!"
Yang Bin reminded again.
"Thank you, Brother Yang."
Lianyi thanked him and went straight to Wei Yi's office.
"Chief Wei, you're looking for me?"
Ripple asked after saluting.
"Yes, Section Chief Yilin said that she had lost an important piece of information..."
"It has nothing to do with me. I never touch any other files except those handed to me. I sternly refused Section Chief Yilin's request to deliver confidential files."
"I didn't say you lost it."
Wei Yi twitched his mouth and said.
After hearing this, Lianyi looked at Wei Yi with some doubt.
"Yilin knows that the missing files have nothing to do with you, and she has also identified the suspects. Once they are confirmed, they will be arrested. She wants you to stay for a while longer to help in the intelligence gathering department."
"I don't want to. I even suspect that this is an excuse that Yilin made up to embarrass me."
Lianyi was determined not to do so.
Wei Yi couldn't force the other party, so he could only end the topic temporarily.
As a result, the next day, Lianyi fainted while working in the intelligence gathering department.
Lianyi was later diagnosed with anemia. She asked the doctor to write a diagnosis and sent it to Wei Yi and Yilin. Then she took sick leave and stopped going to work.
Yilin looked at the diagnosis in front of her and was so angry that her teeth were itching. All her plans were completely ruined because of Lianyi's vacation.
