Lianyi and Yang Bin chatted for a while, admired the sea view, and then went back to their respective rooms to rest.
Li Li was standing on the deck at this time. He was somewhat glad that he had left Pingbei City. If he had stayed there, his betrayal of the underground party would have been exposed.
He admitted that he was afraid of death, so he could not withstand the torture of the Kuomintang. Finally, when the other party wanted to execute him, he chose to compromise.
Those who were arrested because of him all looked at him with cold eyes. One female comrade even cursed him directly:
"Li Li, you idiot! The agreement between the two parties is still in place, and they have already begun to secretly arrest underground party members. You have saved your life by joining them now, but after they have used you, what will be your fate? I am waiting to see your end!"
The woman's sharp voice and terrifying eyes made him unable to rest well for several nights. This time, the Kuomintang asked him to come to Guanghai to carry out a secret mission, and he agreed without any hesitation.
Three days later, the group arrived at the port of Guanghai, changed into casual clothes, and boarded the waiting car.
At this moment, a burst of gunfire suddenly rang out, and the crowd in the port immediately became chaotic. Lianyi immediately seized this opportunity.
The action team got on a military truck, while Lianyi and Yang Bin got on another black car, so they went separately.
Yang Bin got on the car first, and Lianyi fell behind by a step. It was this step that gave her room to maneuver.
Because of the sound of the gunshot, Li Li, who already had a guilty conscience, immediately squatted on the ground with his head in his hands. At this time, half of the action team had already got into the truck, and the other part escorted him to the co-pilot seat, which just diluted the protection force.
Li Li's squatting also exposed himself. Lianyi held a bullet in her hand this time. She used her magical power to deflect the bullet, which hit Li Li's neck directly, then she opened the car door and jumped in.
"Brother Yang, these people seem to be coming for us. I just saw someone from the action team fall to the ground and can't get up."
Ripple said in a low voice.
"Don't be afraid, we are safe in the car for now."
Yang Bin already had the pistol in his hand at this time.
Lianyi pretended to be inspired, and hurriedly took out a gun from her bag and held it in her hand.
"Xiao Wu, pull the safety bolt on the gun."
"Oh, OK!"
Lianyi then pulled the safety bolt somewhat awkwardly, not knowing where to point the gun.
Yang Bin was speechless after seeing this. No wonder he was eliminated by the action team.
"Don't point the gun at me. Be careful not to fire it when you get nervous."
"Yes, Brother Yang is right."
Lianyi nodded immediately and pressed the muzzle of the gun downward.
Half an hour later, the action team knocked on the car door, looked at the two people in the car who were safe and sound, and said with a bad face:
"Our people were hit by stray bullets, and Li Li died."
"With so many of you, how come you can't protect one person!"
Yang Bin's face was gloomy and he started to scold directly.
The team leader of the action group looked even uglier than Yang Bin. He didn't expect that he would be ambushed even when he arrived at his own territory.
Lianyi's eyes flashed at this moment, and she felt that Yang Bin did not seem to be the good guy he appeared to be.
"Bring the people with you, let's go report first."
"That corpse..."
"Give it to the military police here and let them investigate."
"yes."
Yang Bin turned around and saw Lian Yi, who was a little dumbfounded. The other party was still holding the gun in his hand, and seemed to be unable to react.
"Xiao Wu, put the gun away, don't let it go off accidentally."
"yes!"
Lianyi immediately turned off the safety and stuffed the gun back into her bag.
A group of people in two cars left the port under martial law directly with the transfer order and reported to the Guanghai headquarters.
After everything was settled, Lianyi came to Yang Bin and said in a low voice:
"Brother Yang, it turns out that you are the person in charge of this operation. You are so disloyal for not telling me."
"I was assigned here temporarily, and something went wrong as soon as I arrived in Guanghai. I will definitely be the one to take the blame this time."
Yang Bin was a little annoyed.
"Brother Yang, if a person died in an operation and was hit by a stray bullet, just give him more compensation. This is not your fault, so how can it be blamed on you?"
Lianyi pretended to be ignorant and comforted him.
"You don't know, the dead man is very useful, and is also a part of our journey to Guanghai."
"Oh, then I'd better not ask. Knowing too much is not a good thing."
Lianyi immediately changed the subject.
The next day, they officially began the peripheral environmental reconnaissance.
Lianyi just followed Yang Bin. She went wherever he went and did whatever he asked her to do, but she would not do anything extra. Everyone knew that she and Yang Bin were in the same group, so they just turned a blind eye to her. As long as she didn't hold them back and did a good job of intelligence analysis, it would be fine.
It took them five days to complete the survey of the three streets assigned to them.
At this time, Yang Bin also received the report of Li Li's death. The other party was shot in the back of the head by a stray bullet and died on the spot, but the bullet that hit the back of the other party's head was intact.
This proves that the bullet was not fired from a pistol, but without using a pistol, it achieved the effect of shooting with a pistol, which is incredible to think about.
Yang Bin's brows were tightly furrowed. He couldn't tell whether it was an accident or a man-made one. He could only call back in person to explain the accident to Director Jiang.
The next day, Yang Bin asked Lianyi to dress up and go to a cocktail party with him.
"Brother Yang, this is not good! We have a mission to accomplish..."
Ripple said hesitantly.
"Don't worry, this is work-related. I need to meet Guanghai's colleagues and the important contact person for this mission."
"OK."
That night, Yang Bin was dressed in a suit and tie, Lianyi wore a white dress, a pair of white leather shoes, and white mesh gloves, and went to the cocktail party with Yang Bin.
Lianyi looked around and found an old acquaintance.
John Lee in the distance was wearing a white suit, holding a glass of red wine in his hand, and chatting and laughing with someone.
John Lee had been worried for a while since he left Pingbei City. When he found out that Blood Peony did not come to find him, he breathed a sigh of relief and felt that the other party's power should be limited to Pingbei City.
Now that he had left the other party's sphere of influence, he thought he could rest easy, especially as the transaction was about to go through and he had been entrusted with an important task, so he began to show up in public and attend some important occasions.
A deep smile appeared on Lianyi's face. It was really a case of searching for something everywhere but finally finding it without any effort. She felt that this trip to Guanghai was really meaningful.
Although John Lee felt a chill on his back and immediately looked around vigilantly, he found nothing. By then, Lianyi had already withdrawn his gaze and was responding to Yang Bin's questions.
"You know that Mr. Johnley?"
"So his name is John Lee, but he has a Chinese face! Of course I don't know him."
Lianyi replied in surprise, as if she didn't understand why the other person had a Chinese face but a foreign name.
