“I don’t dare.”
Johnley swallowed and said.
"No, you think you can avoid me by leaving Pingbei City. You are so naive."
Ripple said with a smile.
At this time, she stood behind Johnley, holding his neck with one hand and slowly scratching his cheek with the other hand.
John Lee immediately got goosebumps all over his body. He knew that if he couldn't handle it well tonight, he would not be able to see the sun the next day.
"It's true. I don't know your contact information, so I can't notify you. I don't trust Andrew either, so."
"Mr. Johnley, don't rush to explain. Tell me what you want to know, and I might consider sparing your life."
"Okay, the arms transaction method has changed. The payment and arms will be made in two cities to avoid being disrupted. The cash will be delivered in Guanghai and the arms will be delivered in Qingyang. The specific location will not be known until one hour before the transaction."
John Lee said immediately.
Lian Yi's eyes turned, and she thought about the streets they had surveyed and the range of activities of the Guanghai Action Team. Her eyes became stern and she said in a cold voice:
"You are not trading money in Guanghai, but setting an ambush here to arrest people, the underground party members, and the news of the arms sale was deliberately released by you. In order to ensure that the underground party believed it, you deliberately gave me false information for the first time, and then left Pingbei with a guilty conscience.
Then they told the KMT about the arms deal, and the KMT wanted to take the opportunity to teach the underground party a lesson, so they coordinated and sent personnel to these two places, creating the impression that a deal was about to take place. At the same time, they intercepted news that someone was taking the opportunity to rob, so they strengthened their defenses. Am I right?"
Ripple lowered his voice and spoke into Johnley's ear.
His heart skipped a beat, and Lianyi's hand on his neck also felt the faster beating of the carotid artery. She smiled and continued:
"I overlooked one point. The transaction does not necessarily require cash. The money should have been deposited in Citibank. Am I right?"
John Lee's eyes kept rolling, and he was preparing his words when he suddenly felt the fingers on his neck begin to shrink, pinching his neck and causing pain. He could no longer care about anything else and immediately said:
"Ms. Mudan's speculation is correct. I am just cooperating to release the news."
Lianyi stopped exerting force on her hands and continued to ask:
"Where are the munitions stored?"
“A small number are in Qingyang.”
"It is used to lure the underground party into the trap."
"yes!"
"What about the rest?"
“Yes, yes.”
John Lee waited for a long time but couldn't tell where he was.
"I think it should be in Pingbei City."
Lian Li expressed his guess, then quickly folded his fingers and sent John Lee to meet their God.
Even after his death, John Lee still had a look of surprise on his face, as if he was bewildered that the other party had guessed it.
Lianyi closed the man's eyes, carried him to the sofa, and put him in a lying position to sleep. She also considerately covered him with his suit jacket, creating the illusion that he was very tired and went straight to rest in the study, leaving behind a mark unique to Blood Peony.
Then, Lianyi used the phone on Johnley's desk to dial the number of Lao Zhou's residence. After the other party answered, she immediately said:
"It's me. The intelligence is wrong. This is a trap set by the Kuomintang and Country M. You should notify the comrades in the operation to evacuate as soon as possible. The transaction funds have long been deposited in Citibank. The arms should have been transported to Pingbei City. You'd better use other comrades in Pingbei City to investigate.
My call will expose your location, you'd better evacuate immediately and let others contact me at this address."
Lianyi finished what she wanted to say and hung up the phone without waiting for the other party to respond.
The shorter the time, the more time it will take for the other party to find out, which also buys more time for Lao Zhou and his team.
Old Zhou listened to the dead tone in the microphone, was stunned for a moment, immediately stood up and passed the news. Ever since he knew about the transaction between the Kuomintang and Country M, the intelligence has been constantly updated, making it difficult to distinguish the truth from the false, but he still chose to believe Mudan.
On the other side, Lianyi called Pingbei City and quickly returned to the cinema, just in time to catch the end of the movie. She gently leaned Zheng Lin's head on her shoulder and continued watching the movie.
When the movie ended and the lights came on, the young couples who were leaving saw her patting the men on the shoulders to wake them up. The men all had understanding expressions on their faces, after all, this was a romance movie and they were also drowsy after watching it.
When Zheng Lin woke up, he saw Lianyi's somewhat resentful eyes. Lianyi pursed her lips and asked:
"Brother Zheng, which part did you fall asleep at? If you find it boring, you don't have to stay with me. You can ask me to leave with you."
Zheng Lin was a little puzzled and confused. He didn't remember how he fell asleep. He looked at the teasing eyes of the couples who left, coughed lightly and said:
"Sorry, I'm just too tired. Next time I will watch the whole movie with you."
"I understand. When a movie that interests you comes out, we can watch it together!"
Ripple said sympathetically.
"Okay, I'll take you back."
Zheng Lin very gentlemanly sent Lianyi back to his temporary residence before leaving.
The next day, Lianyi hummed the theme song from the movie while eating breakfast in a very good mood, which made Yang Bin feel sad.
"Did your date go well yesterday?"
"It was pretty good, except that Captain Zheng fell asleep during the movie. But it was a romantic movie, so I guess he didn't like it. Next time I'll choose a movie he likes."
Ripple said with a smile.
It was not until noon that the person in charge of the action team came to see Yang Bin with a serious face. The two talked in the room for ten minutes. Then Yang Bin left the room with a gloomy face, gathered all the people who participated in the mission together, and then said:
"There may be changes to this operation. Everyone should stay in the room for the time being. Once we find out the situation, we will make plans."
"What do you mean? We are under house arrest?"
"We are colleagues after all. If something goes wrong, at least let us know the reason!"
"That's right, don't bully us like this. We are here to help, not to be bullied."
One of the hot-tempered members of the action team immediately became unhappy.
"Please be patient. This has nothing to do with us. It's just that the middleman died inexplicably. They are afraid that something will go wrong with this operation, so they called it off temporarily. We just have to wait."
After listening to Yang Bin's explanation, everyone quieted down and went back to their rooms.
Lian Yi then came forward and asked:
"Brother Yang, is the situation serious? Will it affect us? Who is the middleman?"
"It's unclear at the moment. We can only wait for news. But you have met the middleman. He is Mr. John Lee from the cocktail party that night."
"What? It turned out to be him. Fortunately, I didn't choose him. He turned out to be a short-lived person!"
Lian Yi was surprised, but also complained, which made Yang Bin's eyes twitch.
