Chapter 210 Indirect Pressure

Only then did John Lee realize that after he entered his mansion, except for the gatekeeper at the door, he walked all the way to the study without encountering a housekeeper or servant. Apparently, Miss Peony had been waiting for him.

He looked down at his right palm, which was already numb in pain, put on an ugly smile on his face, and then said in a pretense of relaxation:

"Miss Peony misunderstood. The situation is unstable recently, and I am also afraid that someone will do something bad to me."

"It seems that I wrongly accused Mr. Johnley. When will you give me your information?"

Ripple didn't mean to apologize at all and asked straight to the point.

"Ahem, the domestic intelligence agents haven't sent me any news lately, so..."

Johnley explained immediately.

"You harvested the gold escorted by one of the small teams, as well as half of the wealth of the main team on the fourth evacuation route. These are enough to exchange for the information I need."

Ripple was unmoved and said directly.

John Lee's eyes flashed. Mudan knew about the fourth route, but obviously didn't tell him, and even used underground party members to divide up half of the things.

"Don't blink. I know your virtues. I just made preparations. And obviously, your style of doing things is what I expected."

"Miss Lianyi, this is inconsistent with our original agreement."

John Lee argued hard.

"I gave you three Japanese evacuation routes. Did you gain wealth from the intercepted teams?"

"Yes, but."

"That's fine."

Ripple said forcefully.

Johnli stopped talking, obviously not wanting to fulfill the agreement, maybe because he didn't want to give out the information, or maybe because he really didn't have the information Ripple needed.

Ripple didn't waste any time. He stood up and left without leaving a harsh word. He just smiled at John Leigh with an unknown meaning.

After confirming that Blood Peony had left, Johnli went to find his housekeeper and found them all fainted in their respective rooms.

After Johnli bandaged his wound, he waited anxiously until dawn, and immediately went to find his old friend Andrew.

Andrew's intelligence trading place was still operating smoothly. After seeing John Leigh with his right hand wrapped in a bandage, he asked in surprise:

"John Leigh, my friend, have you done anything dangerous?"

John Lee's dark circles were obvious, and he had no energy. He said feebly:

"It's hard to explain! Andrew, I'm here to ask for your help."

"Please tell me, if it is within my ability, I will definitely help you."

John Leigh briefly talked about the transaction with Blood Peony, but did not mention the specific content of the transaction. However, as the owner of an intelligence establishment, Andrew immediately connected the previous intelligence content about the interception of the Japanese retreating troops with John Leigh's words.

Andrew took a puff of his cigar and then said:

"So, Blood Peony didn't receive the information she wanted, so she attacked you? To be honest, based on my understanding of Blood Peony, if she had taken action, you would have died to see me."

John Lee's green eyes flashed, his eyelids twitched, and then he said:

"You mean, Miss Peony has other motives?"

"I'm not her, and I don't know what she thinks, but I suggest you give her the information and don't fool her with any false information."

Andrew said conscientiously.

Andrew still vividly remembers the scene where five Japanese intelligence officers were killed that day. It was really clean and tidy, like a born hunter.

"I see!"

John Lee understood that he now had a problem with Blood Peony, and Andrew obviously didn't want to wade into this muddy water. He could only thank him and tactfully said that if there was any news about Blood Peony, he would tell him.

"Okay, I'll try my best."

As for whether he will tell John Leigh about the blood peony, that is another matter.

After half a month of calm, the intelligence personnel left behind by Country M in Pingbeicheng were involved in accidents one after another. Either their intelligence was taken away or their lives were lost. A Luoyang red peony was left at the scene.

John Li understood as soon as he got the news that this was Blood Peony's revenge on him. It only took half a month to dismantle the intelligence network of country M. He couldn't sit still.

Lianyi just wanted information, so she was putting pressure on John Leigh in this way, and the fact that she was able to find the intelligence personnel of Country M so quickly was due to the Kuomintang and the underground party.

Needless to say, the underground party was an official intelligence agent, and the Kuomintang party also brought her back into the sight of the intelligence department because of the information she provided.

Lianyi used the intelligence networks of both parties to kill all the intelligence agents of Country M who were staying in Pingbei, except John Lee.

John Lee has been having trouble sleeping and eating recently. If this continues, he will have no good results when he returns to country M, so he went to the intelligence site run by Andrew and asked the other party to release the news that he wanted to see Blood Peony.

After receiving the news from Lao Zhou, Lianyi smiled lightly. Three days later, she wore the black and red peony cheongsam and went to the cocktail party organized by Andrew.

When she stepped into the night party, the surroundings were quiet for two seconds, and then the intelligence brokers speaking various languages ​​immediately started talking in low voices, and looked at Ripple from time to time.

Ripple picked up a glass of red wine from the tray in the waiter's hand and walked towards Andrew.

Andrew looked at the mysterious woman with gorgeous appearance, devilish figure, and immediately took two steps forward to meet her.

"Miss Peony, I have admired your name for a long time, but now I know that the description they gave you is not half as good as you are."

After hearing this, Lianyi pursed her red lips and smiled, then raised the wine glass in her hand and said:

"Thank you for your compliment. I'm here today to apologize. I was tricked by Japanese intelligence agents in the bar before. It must have caused you a lot of trouble. I'm sorry."

"Don't take it to heart, Miss Peony. They violated the rules of intelligence trading and have nothing to do with you. Moreover, the bar is a bit old. I just took the opportunity to change the place. I hope you can come often."

Andrew was very good at talking. He immediately raised the champagne in his hand and touched it with Ripple, expressing his indifference.

Lianyi sighed inwardly, no wonder this kind of person can prosper and have an unusually high emotional intelligence.

Then she took a sip of red wine, took the initiative to walk to a corner, and said as she walked:

"Mr. Andrew is the most generous person I have ever met, but that incident affected your business after all. I left for a while to avoid being arrested by Japan, so I couldn't come to apologize in time. Today I brought you I would like to send you a piece of new information as an apology, and thank you Mr. Andrew for your understanding.”

"This makes me a little flattered! Miss Peony is so polite."

Andrew said with a smile, but did not reject the information provided by Ripple.

Lianyi understood what Andrew meant and handed a card to him with a smile:

"I hope it will be helpful to Mr. Andrew's future arrangements."

Andrew accepted the card and toasted Ripple another glass of wine.

When John Lee received the news and rushed to the reception, he happened to see the two people chatting happily.
