Chapter 220 Deep Divers
"Yes, but I like people to call me Peony. I've heard a lot about you, Chief Wei!"
Ripple said with a smile.
"You know me."
Wei Yi asked directly.
"Of course, knowing yourself and the enemy is the key to success! The Kuomintang is trying to catch me, but I didn't expect you to be a member of the underground party."
Lianyi smiled and said it as a matter of course.
Wei Yi was a deep-sea member of the underground party. Normally, he would not be activated unless there was an important mission. It was only because Li Li was killed this time and John Lee, the intelligence broker from the United States who provided them with the information, also died in Guanghai. Mudan openly left her mark and cut off contact with them.
The most important thing is that the news that Mudan gave them at the end was true, and they were almost fooled. Qingyang had already deployed personnel and was waiting for the delivery, but they took action and the operation was called off at the last moment.
In fact, the people who went to the scene had already noticed something, but faced with weapons and equipment that could arm an entire division, they were really unwilling to let go. Even if it meant sacrifice, they wanted to fight for it as much as possible. Unfortunately, they were called off in the end.
This naturally avoided the sacrifice of Comrade Qingyang. Based on the information provided by Mudan, Wei Yi, through intelligence analysis, which he was good at, finally identified three locations in Pingbei City where large quantities of munitions could be stored. Then, based on the movements of the Kuomintang troops and the frequency of vehicles entering and exiting, he finally identified one place and only took action after making preparations in many aspects.
The operation went smoothly. Although they suffered casualties, they finally seized the arms. The people guarding the warehouse were also their comrades. After disguising themselves, they transported the arms directly to the port and left Pingbei City overnight.
Shortly after the operation was successful, the Kuomintang unilaterally tore up the cooperation agreement and openly began to arrest underground party members and frame the leaders who supported the underground party. The intelligence officer code-named Peony also disappeared completely.
Wei Yi came here twice according to the address provided by his superiors, but did not find any trace of Mudan. There was nothing in the room that could prove Mudan's identity. There were only two sniper rifles, a small amount of gunpowder, and some clothes.
He even checked the source of the room and found that someone rented it anonymously and paid five years' rent in one lump sum. That is to say, Miss Mudan had already been in Pingbei City before Japan surrendered.
After several unsuccessful attempts, Wei Yi could only report back that he had not seen Mudan. After discussion with the higher-level organization, they decided to use the dumbest method to contact Mudan.
The other party's original words were:
“Since establishing contact with us, the information provided by Mudan has always been accurate, except for the news about the arms this time, which was full of twists and turns, but the final result was good.
Judging from her actions, she hated the Japanese. Between the Kuomintang and us, she was more inclined towards us and finally chose to join us. As long as she was our comrade, she would not give up.
Maybe she is in trouble now. After all, according to the news from Guanghai, the Kuomintang is holding Mudan's portrait and searching the whole city. We will spread the news. No matter where she is, as long as she responds, we can determine her location and make every effort to arrange a rescue."
Therefore, Wei Yi would come here once in a while. Unexpectedly, he was so lucky today that he actually saw the real person. Moreover, this person gave him a very familiar feeling, but he couldn't remember it for the time being.
"Captain Wei, you've been looking at me for so long, have you figured out anything?"
Lianyi sat casually on the sofa, crossed her legs, and asked casually.
"Well, sorry, I've heard of Miss Mudan's name for a long time, but I've never had the chance to meet her. I'm sorry for being so abrupt."
Wei Yi coughed lightly and explained in a somewhat unnatural manner.
"You are using the public channel to contact me. Is there something going on?"
"We want to make sure you are safe. If you fail to leave Guanghai City, the organization will arrange a rescue."
Wei Yi said immediately.
"Thank you very much. Since I dare to take action, I naturally have a way out. Is there anything else?"
Ripple continued to ask.
"I'm here to make sure you're safe, and I have something to ask you."
"you say."
"You also killed Li Li?"
"You mean the traitor?"
"yes."
"When he was hiding in the KMT headquarters here, why didn't you take action and implicate the other five comrades?"
Ripple asked, raising an eyebrow unceremoniously.
"I'm sorry, I'm a member of the underground party. I can't do anything that would arouse suspicion without orders.
However, before he left Pingbei City, we already had a plan to deal with the traitor Li Li, but we couldn't do it in Pingbei City, as this would easily expose more comrades. We originally planned to deal with him when he pointed out our companions in Guanghai, but you got there first."
"No problem. When I first contacted Lao Zhou, I hinted to him that the Kuomintang would definitely tear up the agreement and asked him to withdraw from the open underground party here as soon as possible. It's just that you guys were still a little slow."
"This is our mistake. It's not all Zhou's fault. There are disagreements within the organization. They think they can coexist peacefully with the Kuomintang. This is an internal conflict and they hope to resolve it through peace talks."
After hearing this, Lianyi raised her red lips and chuckled:
"These people are really naive. Our ancestors have said that there can't be two tigers in one mountain. When it comes to power, the Kuomintang will naturally not compromise.
When the Kuomintang was first established, their original intentions were good, but some people misinterpreted it. I hope you don’t make the same mistake.”
"I understand. On the front lines, our people have already fought with the Kuomintang. This will happen more frequently in the future, and we will need more intelligence, so."
"I understand. As long as I am still in Pingbei City, I will contact you if there is any information here."
Ripple said with a smile.
"Thank you very much. If Miss Mudan needs any assistance, please let me know at any time."
After the two finished their conversation, they prepared to go back to their homes. Lianyi glanced at the window out of habit and saw a familiar figure. She said with some displeasure:
"Captain Wei, how could you be so careless and bring a tail?"
Wei Yi was stunned. Following Lianyi's gesture, he quickly walked to the window, stood on the side of the window and looked out. He found several plainclothes men asking something in each room. Although the street lights were very dim, he still recognized the leader Yilin at a glance.
"Maybe I come here every once in a while, which makes her alert, so she follows me."
Wei Yi said with a frown.
They were all brought up by Jiang Shang, and they were competitors to each other. However, because they were too familiar with each other, no one could overpower the other. However, he was a man and had natural advantages, so he was slightly better than Yilin. The other party had never been convinced, and had been planning to find fault with him for a long time.
"Handle it yourself, don't expose my place, I'm leaving first!"
Lianyi patted his butt and walked away in style.
"good!"
