Chapter 204: Three Birds with One Stone
ineering, this opportunity is not accessible to anyone outside the Ran family bloodline.""Didn't I just come in"The ripples decided not to give up, so they said with a smile."It's useless, you can't e...This was Ripples' second visit to the headquarters of the Sun Nation in Hebei. The first time was after she was arrested and reached an agreement, wandering between the interrogation room and the cell. This time, it was because Miyata had summoned her, going to the office on the first floor and updating the headquarters structure diagram.
Since she moved into the small apartment on Hongfei Road, the KMT's surveillance personnel no longer dared to openly monitor her. Besides, after she moved in, she went out once or twice a month, of course, not including the times she went out at night to avoid them and cause trouble.
Although the Kuomintang left two people to continue monitoring her, the other party chose to monitor from a distance. Besides, Ripple didn't have any achievements or benefits in surveillance, so they just pretended to do their job. This gave Ripple ample time to act.
After returning to her residence from the Japanese headquarters, Lian Yi already had a preliminary plan. This time, she donned another woman's face and left through the back door of the mansion, bypassing two security personnel who were napping in the car. She paid a visit to Lao Zhou openly and aboveboard.
A parasol enveloped her completely, obscuring most of her face except for the hint of a red smile playing on her lips.
To distinguish herself from the peonies, she wore a white cheongsam embroidered with hibiscus flowers today, carrying her small bag. It not only showed off her good figure but also gave her a very elegant air.
As she arrived at Lao Zhou's gate, she took out her small mirror to touch up her makeup. Through the mirror, she saw people passing by looking at her, but she calmly put the mirror away and rang the doorbell.
Lao Zhou was reading the newspaper in his study on the second floor, his heart filled with mixed feelings. Those two atomic bombs should be the last straw that breaks Japan's back. Soon, they would probably sign a surrender document. It seems that the year's withdrawal time given by Peony is quite generous.
At this moment, the housekeeper Mei knocked on the study door, catching Lao Zhou's attention and saying:
"Master, there is a female visitor outside the door. She says she has entrusted Chao Yang to your care and wants to come in for a visit. Should I let her in"
Lao Zhou's eyes flashed, then he smiled and nodded.
"Please let her in! She's a friend of mine."
"Yes!"
Five minutes later, ripples successfully met Lao Zhou.
Looking at the woman who had changed her face again, Lao Zhou would have doubted that she was the same person as the peony he had seen before if she hadn't spoken. After all, only they two knew about Xia Songshu Chao Yang’s existence.
After the two sat down, the housekeeper, who was called Meiyi, brought over the tea that had already been prepared. However, her eyes seemed to subtly observe Ripple.
Meiyie pushed the teacups to the ripples before her and retreated with the tray, but she didn't intend to leave.
"This is Aunt Mei, her cover is as a housekeeper, and she's also one of us. She'll be helping me complete the evacuation mission."
Lao Zhou introduced the two people to each other, and then said to Mei Yi:
"This is the peony I mentioned to you before. She has already provided the organization with three important pieces of information."
Mei Yi didn't expect to meet the legendary "Blood Peony" so soon. Looking at the woman with a bright smile across from her, she found it hard to connect that ruthless killer with the person in front of her.
"May Sister, it's nice to meet you!"
Liàn yī smiled sweetly.
"Me too, you're a little different than I imagined."
Aunt Mei also responded kindly.
"That must be a misunderstanding."
Ripple said with great certainty.
If Lao Zhou hadn't listened to Lin Hui's account, he would have really believed the other party's words. At this time, he coughed lightly and then changed the subject:
>>>>
"Miss Peony, you took such a risk to come during the day. Is there some important information you need to convey"
"Indeed, there's something that requires your assistance."
Ripple stated directly.
"You said."
"Get me a long-range sniper rifle and enough explosives to blow up the headquarters of the Japanese Empire."
Ripples spoke slowly about her request.
Lao Zhou and Aunt Mei looked at each other after hearing Lian's words, and Lao Zhou spoke first:
"Are you going to blow up the Japanese headquarters"
It was clearly surprising, after all, this isn't an easy feat.
"Yes, the explosives should be set to detonate on time. I'll enter the Dai Nippon headquarters openly, and afterward, you will help me get the explosives in place. Once the explosion happens, you are responsible for sniping any escaping Dai Nippon officers at a distance. Leave no one alive."
"This would easily alarm the Japanese troops in the city."
"I'll take care of this."
Ripple held her teacup but didn't take a sip. Her words were also very calm.
"Lao Zhou pondered for a moment before saying:"
"I'll figure out the gunpowder, but there's a fully armed Japanese camp stationed there. It's too dangerous for you to go alone. I'll go with you."
"Miss Peony, with all due respect, why the rush They will surrender sooner or later."
Aunt Mei spoke directly and persuaded them.
“Because they are about to surrender soon, we have to strike quickly. Firstly, those three senior generals are still around. If we let them slip away, we won't have such a good opportunity next time. They hide in their shells, so I will blow the whole shell open.”
Next, you all know about the KMT's assassination plan. Let me make it clear: I have that list, and half of the people on it I killed myself. I just didn't reveal my identity. As for these three most influential generals, they naturally fall under the leadership of the underground party. Do you understand what the people want
Finally, you frequent comrades in Pingbeicheng can take advantage of this explosion to evacuate. However, you must do your homework beforehand and make these people's departures look like they were silenced. Let Japan take the blame for everything, killing three birds with one stone. What do you think
The ripples clearly explained the purpose and significance of this action, leaving Lao Zhou and Auntie Mei silent.
When to act
"I'm giving you three days to prepare."
"Understood, we'll prepare as much as possible."
Lao Zhou replied.
It’s not about trying your best, it’s about being fully prepared. Opportunities are fleeting, and if you wait too long to act, it will have negative international repercussions.
Lan Ri shook his head.
"Great!"
Ripple had said all she wanted to say, so she politely bid farewell. Aunt Mei personally escorted Ripple out and then quickly returned to her study.
"Lao Zhou, is her plan feasible Could there be any problems"
Miss Peony is very bold, and the key to the whole plan is whether she can successfully infiltrate the Japanese headquarters. We only play a supporting role, and as she said, this is a chance to evacuate our comrades who are being targeted by the Nationalist Party. This opportunity comes only once.
"Do I need to consult with my superiors"
"Yes! I'll go myself. You're in charge of contacting the people from Pingbei City who need to evacuate. Don't be too specific, just say there might be some riots in a few days and tell them to stay home and be careful not to alert the Nationalist Party surveillance personnel."
Okay, let's split up.
The two of them reached an agreement in just a few words. Moments later, Auntie Mei grabbed her basket and went to the market to buy groceries. There, their mobile contact was waiting, so the news would spread quickly.
Meanwhile, Lao Zhou drove to his antique shop. There was a secret room inside with a radio that allowed him to contact the organization without leaving the city.
An hour after sending the message, Lao Zhou received a reply from the organization:
"Assist Xuelian in completing her mission!" I lived in the same bunk bed. I also knew about their relationship, so when Zhao Xinru was leaving, I stopped her right away and asked:"Zhao Deputy Squad Leader, do you know what happened to Hu Ge's...
