From food, clothing, shelter, transportation to education and the network of people they interact with, there's no comparison.As a mother myself, I understand her feelings. Although her child is sepa..."Yes, but I prefer to be called Peony. It's a pleasure to meet you, Wei Chang!"

Ripples said with a smile.

"You know me."

Wei Yi asked directly.

Of course, knowing yourself and your enemy means you'll always be victorious in a hundred battles! The Nationalist Party is arresting me, but I didn't expect you to be a member of the underground party.

Ripples flashed a knowing smile, speaking as if it were obvious.

Wei Yi belonged to the underground party's deep-cover agents. He usually didn't have any important missions and wouldn't be activated. This time, it was because Li Li was killed, and the M country intelligence broker John Lee, who provided them with information, also died in Guanghai. Moreover, Peony left a clear mark openly and then severed contact with them.

Most importantly, the last message Peony gave them was true, and they almost fell for it. Qianyang had already arranged people on standby, waiting to strike when the delivery arrived. They were about to act at the last moment but were called off.

In fact, those present on the scene had already sensed something was amiss. However, faced with weaponry capable of equipping an entire regiment, they were unwilling to relinquish it, even at the cost of their lives. They desperately tried to fight for it as much as possible. Unfortunately, they were ultimately called off urgently.

This naturally avoided the sacrifice of Qiyáng Tóngzhì. According to Mǔdān's information, Wéiyì, through his skilled intelligence analysis, finally narrowed down three locations within Píngběi City that could store large quantities of military supplies. Then, based on the movements and frequency of troop deployments and vehicle entries and exits from the Guo Party forces, he finally pinpointed one location. After making all preparations, he took action.

The operation went smoothly. Though they suffered casualties, they ultimately seized the arms cache. The warehouse guards were also their comrades. After disguising themselves, they transported the arms 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 arresting underground party members, framing those who supported the underground party. The intelligence officer codenamed Peony also completely disappeared.

Wei Yi came here twice according to the address provided by his superiors, but he found no trace of Peony. There was nothing in the room that could prove Peony's identity, only two sniper rifles and a small amount of gunpowder, as well as some clothing.

He even investigated the room's origins, finding that it had been anonymously rented out, with five years' rent paid in one go. This meant that Madam Peony had already been in Pingbeicheng before Japan surrendered.

After several failed attempts, Wei Yi could only send back the news that he hadn't seen Peony. After research by the higher-level organization, it was decided to use the most clumsy way to contact Peony.

What the other party said was:

"After establishing contact with us, Peony has consistently provided accurate information. This time, regarding the arms news, it was a bit of a rollercoaster, but ultimately the outcome was positive."

Judging from her actions, she hates Japanese people. Between the Nationalist Party and us, she favors us more. In the end, she chose to join us. As long as she is our comrade, we cannot give up on her.

Perhaps she's in trouble now. After all, according to Guanghai, the Kuomintang is using her portrait to search for her throughout the city. If we spread the word, no matter where she is, as long as she responds, we can pinpoint her location and arrange a rescue mission immediately.

Therefore, Weiyì would come here every so often. Unexpectedly, he had great luck today and actually met the real person. This person gave him a very familiar feeling, though he couldn't quite place it for a moment.

"Mr. Wei, after looking at me for so long, have you figured anything out"

Lian Yi sat casually on the sofa, crossed her legs, and asked at random.

"Ahem, excuse me. I've heard much about Miss Peony, but it's always been beyond my reach to meet her. Forgive my intrusion."

Wei Yi coughed lightly, giving an unnatural explanation.

Are you contacting me on this public channel for something

"We want to make sure you're safe. If you can't leave Guanghai City, the organization will arrange for your rescue."

Wei Yi immediately said.

"Thank you. Since I dared to make a move, I naturally have an escape route. Is there anything else"

The ripples continued to ask.

"I am here to ensure your safety, and I have some questions for you."

"You said."

"Did you also kill Li Li"

"Are you talking about the traitor"

"Yes."

While he was hiding at the Nationalist headquarters here, why didn't you take action You even implicated five other comrades.

Ripple arched an eyebrow at him, unconcerned.

"I'm sorry, I'm a deep-cover operative for the underground resistance. Until I receive orders, I cannot perform any actions that might raise suspicion."

However, before he left Pingbei City, we already had a plan to deal with Li Li, this traitor. It was just that we couldn't do it in Pingbei City; doing so would easily expose more of our comrades. The original plan was to eliminate him when he pointed out our companions in Guanghai. It seems you got there first.

"Okay. When I first contacted Old Zhou, I already hinted to him that the KMT would definitely tear up the agreement and that he should evacuate the above-ground party members as quickly as possible. It's just that your actions were a bit slow."

“This was our mistake, and it's not entirely Lao Zhou's fault. There were also disagreements within the organization. Some people believed we could coexist peacefully with the Kuomintang, and they saw this as an internal conflict that could be resolved through negotiations.”

After hearing this, Lian Yi's red lips curled into a smile, and she let out a light chuckle:

These people are really naive. Our ancestors said it best, a mountain can't accommodate two tigers. When facing power, the Kuomintang naturally won't compromise.

When the Kuomintang was first established, their intentions were good. It's just that some people twisted their purpose. I hope you won't make the same mistakes.

"I understand. On the front lines, our people have already clashed with the Nationalist Party, and this will definitely become more frequent in the future. We'll need even more intelligence, so..."

"I understand. As long as I'm in Pingbei City, if there's any news here, I'll contact you."

Ripple smiled and said.

"Then, thank you. If Miss Peony needs any assistance, please let me know at any time."

After the two ended their conversation, they were about to go home. Ripple habitually glanced out the window and saw a familiar figure. She said with displeasure:

"Weiko, how could you be so careless and bring a tail"

Wei Yi was taken aback. Following Lian Ri's gesture, he quickly walked to the window, leaned out from one side and took a glance. He saw several plainclothes officers asking questions at each house. Although the streetlights were dim, he still recognized Eileen leading them at a glance.

"Perhaps I'll come here every once in a while to make her aware, so she followed me."

Wei Yi frowned and said.

They were all brought out by Chiang Shang, and they were in a competitive relationship with each other. Because they were too familiar with each other, no one could suppress the other. However, he was a man and had a natural advantage, so he was slightly better than Eileen. The other party has always been unwilling to accept this, and planning to catch his weakness is not something that happened overnight.

"You handle this yourself, don't expose my whereabouts. I'm leaving now!"

The ripples patted their bottom and swaggered away.

"Great!"ispered to her, "Serve me."He knows in his heart why he coughs. In the past, when he copied Buddhist scriptures, he always wore a face mask. After copying the scriptures, he would immediately send th...
