After the Kuomintang members put on a play with ripples, she successfully returned to school. There was only one day left until the official start of classes.

After greeting her familiar teachers, she returned to her dormitory and settled everything. After that, she went to the wonton stall for a meal and found that the person who had been watching her before was gone.

She reckoned the people tailing her definitely saw what happened when she was forced into a car that day. Since they were all in the same line of work, they naturally knew who was responsible and simply pulled the person out. This made the ripple effect operation easier, but the KMT still had someone watching her, which she said didn't bother her.

That evening, Ripples disguised herself again and appeared at the bar. Her entrance caused a moment of silence throughout the entire place. Her red cheongsam with white peony patterns was simply too eye-catching; it was impossible not to notice her.

These intelligence operatives aren't amateurs. They naturally know that anyone who followed this person before didn't return. They only deal in information, they don't want to risk their own lives.

The ripples ignored the gazes of the crowd, seeming to exist and not exist as she swayed her way past. She sat at the bar and spoke:

"Give me a Bloody Mary."

"Okay, wait a moment!"

The bartender remembered Ripples' drink, so he expertly mixed a crimson concoction and pushed it toward her.

"Ma'am, please enjoy your meal."

Ripples raised his cup, took a light sip, and a short man with a thin frame and bright eyes approached, holding up his red wine and saying with a smile:

"At your service, Miss. How may I address you"

"Peony."

"I'm very interested in the information you have, Miss. Have you decided to sell it"

The man asked very politely and courteously.

"Too bad, Baron. You're a step too late. The information I had in my hands has already been sold."

Rill spread her hands helplessly.

"That's too bad. If Miss Peony has any new information, feel free to contact me anytime. I'll treat you to your drinks today."

A man claiming to be a baron raised his glass in a toast.

Since you put it that way, I can't let you treat me to a drink for nothing. I actually have some fresh intel - an assassination list. If you're interested, just make me an offer.

The baron's eyes flashed, and he immediately pressed for more information:

"Who was the assassination list targeting"

"Japan."

Ripple effect only.

The Baron heard it, the intelligence brokers who had their ears pricked around him, even the bartender himself could hear it.

"Miss Peony, I'm very interested in this list of yours."

The Baron immediately said.

"As always, the highest bidder wins."

Ripples took a sip of the scarlet wine, pursed her lips and smiled.

Okay.

"I'll be back in a few days."

After finishing her words, Lian Ri placed the wine glass down and picked up her handbag. She left the bar with a cool confidence, this time no one dared to follow her out.

Only the man who had been in the corner before got up and left the bar first after the ripples sat down. He hid in the shadows at the entrance of the bar and watched Ripples come out. After they turned a corner, he fell far behind them. When they passed an alley, he lost sight of them.

Are you looking for me

The ripple's hand reached out and rested on the person's shoulder again. The other person swayed slightly before regaining their balance.

Yes, the information you provided us last time was very important. To avoid exposing these colleagues, we have changed the negotiators.

"I see! So, what's your answer"

The ripples continued to ask.

"After our review, we accept your application. I can take you to meet my upline now."

The man hadn't finished speaking when he was interrupted by the ripples.

"No need, though I provided accurate information this time, you still doubt my intentions within your organization. So I won't rush to pledge allegiance for now. I will only contact you directly. When I need to transmit information, I will find you."

The ripples' refusal was very crisp. Trust needs to be built step by step. This time, she just took the first step, and the follow-up still needs to deepen the cooperation between each other. She is not in a hurry, this is just the beginning.

The man clearly hadn't expected this. He had waited so long, and the other party had given him such an answer.

"In the near future, the KMT will assassinate high-ranking Japanese military officials. If you have planted agents among these people, arrange for their immediate evacuation so they are not implicated. This information is a free gift."

Ripples patted the other person on the shoulder and turned to leave.

But when the man turned back, there was no sign of the mysterious woman.

After leaving the bar, Ripples went straight to Johnley's private mansion. Now that she was in the business of selling information, there was no way she would only have one valuable piece of intel. Johnley was her go-to source for information.

She vaulted over the wall and into Johnley's courtyard, making straight for his brightly lit study.

Because it was already late at night, all the servants in the mansion had gone to rest. She slipped in very smoothly.

John Lee had been resting for a while after his last failure at Ripple. He recently resumed his activities, and now he was looking at the documents in his hands. In the next instant, he fell asleep on the desk.

The ripples then flowed in from the window, picking up the stone that had knocked the other party unconscious and pulling out the documents John Lee was pinned under.

The file was entirely in English, which was just the thing that played to her strengths. She skimmed through it at a glance, and her eyes grew hostile.

Because this is a purchase agreement, Country M will engage in arms trade with the Kuomintang (KMT), selling advanced weaponry and ammunition capable of equipping an entire division to the KMT.

Ripples looked at the contents of the second file. The transaction time between the two parties was set after Japan's surrender. This made her think deeply. It seemed that the US had planned it long ago, intending to provoke a civil war between the Nationalist Party and the Communist Party after Japan's defeat.

After riffling through all the files on the other person's desk and returning them to their original places, Ripples left again silently. When she got back to her school dormitory, it was almost dawn.

For the next period of time, Ripple went nowhere, just peacefully teaching and nurturing students, doing her best as a teacher.

After a month of school starting, Eileen finally contacted her, asking her to go to Fu Yun Lou at night.

Ripples changed into men's clothing and went to the place where she had made an appointment with Eileen.

"Instructor Eileen, do you have any missions for me"

Yamamoto is coming to Fukun Building for a meal, but recently there have been rumors that Japanese military officers have been put on an assassination list, which has increased the difficulty of our operation. Yamamoto is also notorious for being afraid of death, so he brought many guards with him. We need to redesign the assassination plan.

Irene said, somewhat displeased.

The person who leaked the information, ripples, pretended to be surprised and said:

"If we haven't acted yet, how did they know about the plan Could it be that someone from your KMT party leaked the information"

A clever trick of the thief crying "catch the thief!"

"These are none of your concern, focus on finishing today's tasks first."

Irene pulled a face and said, though the other person was right, she didn't want to admit it.

Ripples shrugged helplessly and said:

"You're my drill instructor, I do whatever you say."us more on cultivation and their sixth brother's development. Unexpectedly, things took a turn for the better; they had such a huge opportunity.It took another five days for the poison to be extracted...
