Chapter 219 The Civil War Begins
"Now that there is a problem here in Guanghai, you should calm down a bit recently. Even if you have to solve a life-long matter, don't rush it. Wait until this sensitive period has passed."
Yang Bin also had some headaches.
"Brother Yang, don't worry. I said I won't hold you back, and I will definitely do it."
Three days later, Yang Bin called everyone together with a serious look on his face, and then said:
"We will leave Guanghai tomorrow and return to Pingbeicheng."
Everyone was a little surprised and looked at each other. Then the leader of the action team stood up and asked directly:
"Captain Yang, have we completed this mission?"
"We did what Guanghai asked, and the rest is not ours to control, but I think they must have failed."
"Because the middleman was killed?"
"yes."
Yang Bin didn't hide anything, and there was no need for it.
"Have they found the murderer?"
someone asked directly.
"The mark was left openly and openly. It's Blood Peony!"
Lianyi opened her mouth deliberately and asked:
"Is it the mysterious intelligence broker from Pingbeicheng?"
"yes!"
"Why did she kill that John Leigh?"
"Because John Leigh gave her false information!"
"She's a little too arrogant!"
"But no one can catch her, and I suspect that the other party is in Guanghai City now."
Yang Bin frowned and expressed his speculation.
"Then Captain Yang, let's go back to Pingbeicheng first!"
Ripple whispered.
"Hmph! You people in the Intelligence Department are just timid and afraid of getting into trouble!"
said the hot-tempered team member.
"I'm just following the captain's instructions. Don't attack so widely. Since you are not afraid of death, you can apply to stay and help capture Blood Peony!"
Ripple replied rudely.
"you"
"Okay! It's not that I look down on you, but you are really no match for that Blood Peony. Ever since this mysterious woman appeared, she has never failed once, whether it was the information she wanted or the person she wanted to kill. "
A flash of sarcasm flashed through Yang Bin's eyes, directly exposing the self-righteous faces of the action team.
"Of course, if you want to perform well, you can apply to stay and assist your colleagues in Guanghai. I will definitely not stop you."
After hearing this, everyone in the action team immediately shut up. They were unfamiliar with the place. They could easily be used as cannon fodder. They should go back to their own territory!
The next day, a group of people took a boat back to Pingbeicheng. When the boat entered the port, they found that the place was closed. Boats of all sizes were parked at the port, and they could not leave without entering. They successfully landed ashore, but they were not able to leave. was left for questioning.
The members of the action team were so angry that they patiently accepted the interrogation and returned to the headquarters in the middle of the night.
When Lianyi returned to the office, she called Zheng Lin and told him that she had returned to Pingbeicheng safely and asked him to be careful and pay attention to safety when performing tasks. Then she hung up the phone and waited for questioning from her section chief.
After Yang Bin came back, it was her turn, but as an assistant, she didn't know anything. She just followed the instructions in all her actions. It only took five minutes to explain what she had done during the trip.
"I heard from Yang Bin that you have a relationship with Guanghai's operations captain Zheng Lin."
Wei Yi crossed his arms and said with a smile.
"Section Chief, we have an honest relationship and are in the familiarization stage. Moreover, this is a private matter. Does it need to be reported?"
"No, just asking casually."
"Oh, Brother Yang introduced us. We chatted for a few words and thought it was quite interesting, so we went on a date. Then something happened there and we were recalled. We didn't even have a chance to meet again."
After finishing speaking, Lianyi curled her lips.
"I heard that something happened the day after your date."
"Yes, we had originally arranged to meet for a second time, but it ended up being completely aborted because of this incident."
"I understand. You have just come back. Please rest for two days."
Ripple saluted, turned and left the section chief's office.
After she walked out of the door, her eyes flashed. Chief Wei's concern for her was a little too much.
The next day, Lianyi learned from Yang Bin that the Kuomintang army in Pingbeicheng had lost a batch of arms and was searching for the whereabouts of the arms under full martial law. This was the reason why they accepted the money when they came back.
Lianyi was surprised when he heard this, but he knew very well in his heart that it was Lao Zhou and the others who took action, and the Kuomintang was in vain this time.
In June of the second year after Japan surrendered, the Kuomintang openly tore up its agreement with the underground party, officially launched a civil war, and began to massacre underground party members. For a time, China was once again shrouded in the shadow of civil war.
At this time, Lianyi was reorganized into the action assistance team and was responsible for cooperating with them to find the underground party's radio station, and her partner was Qianqian.
The two of them looked at each other and disliked each other. Lianyi felt that this Qianqian had never participated in any big operations, but she had created an identity for herself as the main leader of the action team.
Qianqian feels that a bottom teammate like Lianyi who is greedy for life and fearful of death and has no real ability is simply a shame to the action team and should have been eliminated long ago.
"Has Captain Zheng Lin still contacted you?"
Qianqian said deliberately.
"What does contact or lack of contact have to do with you?"
"You're afraid you'll be dumped, so you're still pretending here."
"Tch, it didn't even start, how could he dump me?"
Ripple said nonchalantly.
"You two, if you keep chirping, get out of the car!"
Finally, it was the leader of the action team who spoke, and the two stopped exposing each other.
"snort!"
Lianyi snorted lightly and turned away from Qianqian.
"Captain, something has been discovered! There is radio fluctuation nearby."
A monitor said immediately.
At this time, everyone in the car turned their attention to the person who made the sound, picked up their headphones, and started listening.
Ripple also picked up the earphones. After listening for a while, the corner of her mouth twitched. This was a public channel, and the people who sent the message were underground party members. They were actually using this method to contact her and wanted to see her.
"Can you decipher the content of the transmission?"
the operations leader asked immediately.
"need some time."
"Where's the positioning?"
"It's a little difficult for the time being, but it should be within three kilometers of here."
The inspector replied bravely.
But the area around here is a busy area, so it would be very troublesome to find it, and it's also unrealistic. The implication is that it's impossible to locate it.
"Decipher the contents of the telegram first."
"yes!"
Lianyi put down her headphones and sat aside as a wallflower, showing no intention of helping.
She doesn’t know how long it has been since the underground party sent the message, but she just received it now.
That night, she transformed into Peony, went to the meeting place left by herself, and the refuge room left by Hu Qian, and then met an unexpected person.
The man opposite stared intently at Ripple's peach-like face and her iconic black-red-peony cheongsam, and asked:
"You are Blood Peony!"
