to seize some evil artifacts, Shiju reminded him that the mission progress had advanced to two-thirds, which meant that once she subdued the hilt of the evil artifact taken to the capital for sealing..."Wu Lao, what brings you to me"

After the ripples washed over, she went to see Lao Wu. This time, she went to his residence.

"With recent instability, I've decided to leave Pingbei City. I'm giving you the small villa you're currently living in."

Wu Lao wasn't being roundabout. He got straight to the point.

Liàn Yī wrinkled her brow and asked:

"Wu Lao, didn't you run into some trouble Or was someone threatening you Tell me about it, I'll try to help. After all these years mixing around with the KMT, I still have some connections."

"You're overthinking it, I just want to leave here."

Old U wanted to say no more.

"Lao Wu was not optimistic about the Nationalist Party, so he decided to avoid it before the dust settled between the two parties."

Ripple shared her guess.

Wu Lao smiled, neither denying nor affirming.

"I understand."

Without saying another word, Lian Yi changed the subject.

"I've gotten used to living in that little villa. The surroundings aren't complicated either. I want to buy it myself. I hope Lao Wu won't refuse, after all, you've helped me a lot."

"Good."

This time, Wu Lao didn't refuse. He knew that Lian Yi wasn't someone who wanted to owe him favors.

The next day, Lianyi sent the six little yellow fish to Wu Lao's residence. Three days later, they received a full mobilization order because the underground party's army was already at the city gates.

For a time, the entire city of Pingbei was in an uproar. The Nationalist Party's internal morale was also shaken, and everyone was scrambling to find a way out for themselves.

The ripples also received the message sent back by Weiyi. The underground party hoped for a peaceful liberation of Pingbei City, avoiding direct confrontation because there were ordinary civilians still inside the city.

Then we should try to negotiate a surrender. Not everyone is willing to leave their homeland, you see I think we should find a way to get our hands on the defensive plans of Pingbei City and prepare for all eventualities. If the negotiation fails, we will have to capture Pingbei City as quickly as possible.

Ripples said softly.

"Okay, let's split up."

Wei Yi also agrees with Mudan's action plan.

Ripple only contacted Andrew at this time, wanting to meet David.

"Okay, Miss Peony, I'll be sure to tell David. I believe he won't make any foolish mistakes this time."

Andrew immediately replied.

When David received Andrew's phone call, the stone in his heart finally landed. He had already thought about returning home, but he didn't dare to. He had been on pins and needles all this time. Now that he received an invitation to meet, he also breathed a sigh of relief and agreed to meet. There was still something to be discussed.

That night, David finally met the most mysterious Blood Peony in the intelligence world. The woman's black dress with red peony patterns, her hair tied up with a hairpin, her graceful figure, typical oriental features, and that fiery red lip, it was really impossible to associate her with the person who had wiped out his men.

David's pupils contracted instantly, his gaze fixed on the ruby pendant hanging from the clasp of her cheongsam. He seemed unable to believe it and remained speechless for a moment.

"Mr. David, we finally meet!"

Ripples smiled and spoke.

David reacted for two seconds before speaking.

"Miss Peony, I apologize for my rudeness last time. I hope you are not angry, and we have something very important to discuss."

Of course, the last time I invited you to meet, it was to build a friendly relationship with you. Unfortunately, you didn't give me the chance.

The ripples remained unchanged, and he spoke with a smile.

The scene became a little awkward for a moment, and Andrew immediately stepped forward to help David out of the situation.

"Peony, I just got in a new shipment of wine. Let me pick one out for you."

"Okay, thank you, Mr. Andrew!"

Andrew took both of them directly to his office and thoughtfully closed the door. He believed David wouldn't make a mistake this time.

"Miss Peony, how did you get our token"

Of course, someone gave it to me. I'm your subordinate developing in China. My mission is to provoke internal strife between the two parties in China after Japan surrenders.

"Who is your superior"

"Pan Wenbin."

He is dead.

"Yes, that's why I contacted John Lee. Unfortunately, he's a greedy person who wanted me to be his mistress and pushed me to be used as a scapegoat. He just wanted to use me and then get rid of me. There's no such good thing in this world."

Ripple said it lightly, anyway, the person was dead, she could say whatever she wanted.

David considered how much truth there might be in what she said, but Ripple just smiled sweetly and asked:

"Don't you think I have that much charm"

"No, Miss Peony is already a legend. Her beauty, intelligence, and martial prowess are all at the very top."

David's strong will to survive immediately led him to offer praise.

"That's good, our deal can continue. If you don't want to, I won't force you."

"Of course, we definitely won't give up on someone with your abilities."

"Latest news, the Nationalist Party is about to withdraw from Pingbei City. The underground party has made two preparations. If it cannot occupy Pingbei through peaceful means, it will resort to force."

You might want to consider your future. The underground party isn't as easy to navigate as the Nationalist Party.

David nodded, though he didn't have any concrete information, he had already heard the rumors.

"Would Miss Peony consider leaving with us"

"That's not necessary. I have connections in the underground party too. The information I provided them before was very helpful, so they wouldn't overstep and make things difficult for me."

Ripple smiled faintly and said nonchalantly.

"

David was speechless, but Miss Peony did indeed have the capital to be arrogant. She was essentially standing on an invincible position.

However, I do need you to use an exchange of information.

"What kind of information does Miss Peony want"

"The defense map of Pingbei City, I want to give it as a gift to the underground party, of course, this also includes your share. Even if you stay here, you'll be looked up to a little more."

"Okay, I'll try my best to get the deployment diagram."

Soon after, the defense deployment map of Pingbei City fell into the hands of the underground party. The general who was preparing to attack looked at the map in his hand and sighed:

Our intelligence officers are very capable. With this, our chances of capturing Pingbei City in a short amount of time are greatly increased.

"You're right, they are using a two-pronged approach. Those trying to persuade them to surrender are also working hard, but the defense deployment plan came first."

"Could you tell me who got it"

"I am a spy codenamed Peony, from our party."

"If she could be a spy, her abilities must be very strong."

"Indeed, I can tell you all about it when I have some free time. The other party is quite mysterious!"

Finally, after much effort, Pingbei City transitioned peacefully, without a single shot fired. This saved the ancient city and the lives of its people.

After that, the underground Communist Party accelerated its unification steps, while the Nationalist Party could only retreat step by step, eventually retreating to Taiwan Island.

As ripples last saw Wei Yi as peony, she pushed a delicate box in front of him and said with a smile:

"I am leaving here now, and I will find other ways to send back information. When I return, I will be wearing an ornament identical to this peony flower. I hope you will welcome me home then."

Wei Yi opened the box. Inside lay a peony flower crafted from rubies, as mysterious as she was.

"Alright, I'll be waiting for your return!"

This wait lasted for fifty years. Fifty years later, the new China had opened its doors and faced the world. Although it was difficult, it still found its own path of development.

Wei Yi is now retired and no longer working.

On this day, he received a call and immediately got excited, getting up and asking his personal driver to take him to the port.

At the reception of the port, he saw a white-haired Peony. She was wearing a cheongsam with a white background and red peonies embroidered on it. A red ruby peony flower was pinned in her hair bun. Her bearing was dignified and elegant. Even at seventy years old, she remained a beauty.

"Long time no see, Weiyix!"

"Water Lily Peony!!!"

"It's all my fault!"ntrance, they only heard a "boom" and half the mountainside caved in.Wu Yong and Zhang Fei rushed to meet them with anxious faces, took the heavy burdens from their hands, and then quickly ran down th...
