Chapter 224: Killing the Chicken to Frighten the Monkey
Andrew's words made David's face paler. He just went to meet his companions from Country M. When he arrived at the ambush site, all he saw were corpses all over the ground. All of them were killed with one knife. The smell of blood and death in the neck, heart, and spine suffocated him. He ran back to Andrew's territory without thinking, at least here he could survive.
"Andrew, please help me. You said that Mudan would give people a second chance."
David looked at Andrew eagerly, hoping that he could lend a helping hand.
Andrew is a businessman and has always been cautious. After thinking for a while, he said:
"David, Miss Mudan didn't come here to kill you. She has already given me face. After all, it was me who introduced you. I once gave you advice, but unfortunately you didn't accept it. Now that things have come to this, it is indeed difficult to end. I can't guarantee that Miss Mudan will give you a second chance, but I will try my best."
After listening to Andrew's words, David pursed his lips, nodded, and then said:
"Andrew, can I stay at your place for the night?"
He was really afraid that Miss Peony would attack him if he left here. The reason he was able to successfully reach the place where his companions had set up an ambush was because Miss Peony had given him a warning, allowing him to personally feel the threat of death.
There was a flash of disdain in Andrew's eyes. He hated those guys in Country M who only bullied the weak and feared the strong the most. John Lee was one of them, and so was David. Moreover, this David was even more arrogant.
"Of course, you are my guest, and I will not drive away my guests."
Andrew gave David a reassurance, then turned around and called his men to take David to his temporary lounge for the night.
The next day, Lianyi stepped into the office on time, and considerately brought soy milk and buns to her colleagues in the office, and then made a cup of coffee for herself.
Yang Bin ate the buns in his hand, drank soy milk, and sighed helplessly. Lian Yi immediately asked:
"Brother Yang, is there still no news from the action team?"
"No, the captain of the action team just stopped me and asked me, saying that the approximate range of the Blood Peony given by our analysis department is inaccurate. They have been wandering around for more than a month and have not found any trace of the Blood Peony."
"Tsk, these people from the action team start to shirk responsibility when they can't catch anyone. Xue Mudan is not stupid, will she just stand there and wait for others to catch her?"
Ripple said nonchalantly.
“Who says it’s not?”
The people in the office also started a new round of discussion. At this time, there was a noise in the yard. The cars parked in the yard drove out one by one. Those were the cars of the action team, and they only had vehicles for transportation when they were on the move.
"It looks like there's going to be a big move!"
"Maybe there are traces of the Blood Peony."
"I hope so! They won't have to keep harassing us all day long."
After a few words, everyone changed the topic. Yang Bin asked:
"Xiao Wu, you are assisting in finding the underground party's radio station. Have you made any progress?"
"Not yet. The underground party members are not stupid. It is impossible for them to keep the radio on all the time to transmit information. I will just take it as a ride and take a walk."
Lian Yi said indifferently.
Yang Bin shook his head when he saw the righteous look on his face.
In the afternoon, when Lian Yi returned to the Intelligence Department in the radio tracking car, she felt that the atmosphere in the entire building was a little strange. When she returned to the Analysis Department's office, she found that Wei Yi was not there, so she turned around and asked Yang Bin:
"Brother Yang, what happened? Why do I feel like the atmosphere in the office is not right? Did the action team fail in their mission?"
As she spoke, her voice became very low.
"If I failed, it would be fine. At most I would be scolded. But now the situation is a bit complicated."
"What's wrong?"
"Section Chief Yilin is missing."
"What does her disappearance have to do with the mission of the task force?"
Lian Yi asked directly.
Yang Bin knew that she and Section Chief Yilin didn't get along, so he didn't care about her gloating and lowered his voice and said:
"According to the intelligence gathering department, Yilin received news that Blood Peony would appear at the intelligence trading party last night. They did not inform the action team, so Yilin wanted to lead the team to arrest her. As a result, they set up an ambush, but Yilin did not go to the scene. After guarding all night, she did not even see the shadow of Blood Peony.
The most important thing is that a lot of people died in a house near the cocktail party last night. They were all intelligence dealers from Country M. It was not far from where the people from the Collection Department were ambushing.
The coroner from the bureau also went there and said that these people were killed with one strike. The other party acted quickly and accurately. Judging from the shooting habits, it was very similar to Blood Peony's method.
The captain of the action team was furious and went to complain to Director Jiang, saying that the Intelligence Department had such important information but did not share it with them, and as a result, let Blood Peony kill people less than a thousand meters away from them. The people in the Analysis Department argued that they were not sure about the accuracy of the information, so they planned to scout the place first.
Director Jiang wanted to question Yilin, but found that her office was locked and she hadn't come in today, so he arranged for someone to look for her at her residence, but she wasn't there either, so he called our section chief over."
"Tsk tsk, Chief Wei is so unlucky. This is clearly asking him to clean up the mess and appease the action team at the same time."
"I think the same as you, just wait and see the result!"
"Does that mean we can't go home yet?"
Lianyi said with some resentment.
"That's not what I said."
Yang Bin said after a moment of hesitation.
"Then I'll go first. Anyway, whether Yilin is missing or running away, it has nothing to do with me and I don't care."
Lianyi picked up her handbag and walked away gracefully, leaving Yang Bin alone with a twitching mouth.
On the way home, she made a special call to Andrew.
"Mr. Andrew, is David satisfied with the gift I prepared for him?"
".He is almost scared to death, and he is still hiding here with me!"
Andrew said helplessly.
"Since he had the guts to join forces with the Kuomintang to kill me, why didn't he consider the consequences of failure?"
Ripple asked with a smile.
"David is too arrogant. Please forgive his recklessness. He asked me to tell Miss Mudan that he is sincere in cooperating with you and hopes you can give him another chance."
Andrew conveyed David's request anyway.
"I'll think about it, just not now. Wait for my call."
Then Lianyi hung up the phone.
On the other side, Wei Yi returned to the office with a gloomy face. Most of the people in the analysis department had left, and only Yang Bin was still waiting for news. When he saw his section chief coming, he immediately stood up.
"Everyone else is gone?"
"Yes, Chief, it's getting late, so I'll let them go first. If they need anything, I'll call them to come back."
"No, let's talk about it tomorrow! Yilin really left me with a mess."
Wei Yi waved his hand.
"Section Chief Yilin"
Yang Bin was also a little curious about what Yilin had done.
"She secretly teamed up with the intelligence agents of Country M to capture Blood Peony, but she disappeared. All the people set up by Country M were killed. David, who offered to cooperate, is still hiding with Andrew."
My dears, I feel a little depressed today because Coco Lee, a Chinese singer I liked very much, passed away due to depression. Her songs accompanied Feng Ling throughout her student days. I mourn her passing.
No matter how difficult it is, never give up hope, strive to swim upstream and don't sink. Feng Ling also hopes that every reader is happy, for the people who love you and for the people you love.
