Lianyi again, and with a flash, they appeared directly below where the military jeep had landed. He then collapsed to the ground, drained of all energy.Wu Lianyi leaped lightly, supporting the milita...Liàn Yī and Yang Bīn chatted for a few moments, admired the sea view, then returned to their respective rooms to rest.

Li Li stood on the deck at this moment, he was somewhat thankful that he had left Pingbei City. If he had stayed any longer, his betrayal of the underground party would have been exposed.

He admitted that he was afraid of death, so he couldn't withstand the Kuomintang's torture. In the end, when they were about to execute him, he chose to compromise.

Those who were brought in because of him all looked at him with cold, hard eyes. One lesbian even spat directly at him:

"Li Li, you fool! With the agreement between the two parties still in place, they've already begun secretly arresting members of the underground party. You surrendered to them and saved your life for now, but what will happen to you when they are finished using you I'll be waiting to see how it ends for you!"

The woman's sharp voice coupled with her piercing gaze kept him up for several nights. This time, the Nationalist Party tasked him with a secret mission in Guanghai, and he readily agreed without any hesitation.

Three days later, the group arrived at Guang Hai's port. After changing into civilian clothes, they got into the waiting car.

Suddenly, a burst of gunfire rang out. The crowd at the port immediately panicked, and Ripples seized the opportunity.

The action team rode in a military jeep, while Li and Yang Bin were in another black sedan, so they left separately.

Yang Bin got into the car first, while Lian Yi fell behind by a step. It was this single step that gave her room to maneuver.

Because of the gunshot, Li Li, who already had a guilty conscience, immediately ducked and covered his head. At this time, half of the Action Team had already gotten into the car in the middle of the fight, while the other half escorted him to the co-pilot seat, which evenly distributed their protective forces.

Li Li's crouching position also exposed himself. Lian Yi this time held a bullet in her hand, she used her divine power to shoot the bullet out, hitting Li Li's nape directly, then pulled open the car door and jumped in.

"Yang Ge, these people seem to be coming for us. I think I just saw someone from the action team go down."

The ripples spoke in a hushed tone.

Don't be afraid, we're safe for now hiding in the car.

Yang Bin now had a pistol in his hand.

Ripple pretended to be inspired, frantically pulling out a gun from her bag and gripping it tightly in her hand.

"Little Wu, pull back the safety on the gun."

"Oh, good!"

The ripples were a bit stiff as they pulled the safety catch, and the muzzle didn't know where to point.

Yang Bin's performance really left him speechless. No wonder he was eliminated by the action group.

"Don't point that gun at me, you might shoot yourself if you get nervous."

"Yes, Big Brother Yang is right."

Ripple nodded immediately, pressing the muzzle down.

Half an hour later, the action team members knocked on the car door. Looking at the two people unharmed inside the car, they said with grim faces:

Our people were hit by shrapnel, and Li Li died.

"With so many of you, how can you not protect one person!"

Yang Bin's face darkened, and he directly reprimanded him.

The leader of the action team looked even worse than Yang Bin. He hadn't expected to be ambushed on their own turf.

Liàn Yī at this moment's eyes flashed, feeling Yang Bīn seemed not to be as kind as he appeared on the surface.

"Take people with us, let's go check in first."

"...The corpse..."

"Leave this with the military police and let them investigate."

"Yes."

Yang Bin turned his head and saw Ripples, who looked utterly dumbfounded. The other party was still holding the gun in their hand, seeming to have not reacted yet.

"Little Wu, put the gun away, don't fire it."

"Yes!"

Ripples immediately closed the insurance, tucking the gun back into his bag.

A group of people, in two vehicles, left the quarantined port directly upon receiving orders and headed to the headquarters of Guanghai.

When everything was settled, ripples finally came to Yang Bin's side and whispered:

"Brother Yang, so you're the one in charge of this operation. You're really not chivalrous, you didn't even tell me."

"Being temporarily assigned, every time I go to Guang Hai something happens. This time they'll definitely blame me."

Yang Bin was somewhat annoyed.

"Big Brother Yang, if someone gets hit by stray bullets during the operation and dies, just give their family more compensation. This isn't your fault, so why should you be held responsible"

The ripples pretended to be unaware and soothed him.

"You don't know, the person who died was very useful and was a part of our journey to Guang Hai this time."

"Oh, I'd better not ask then. Knowing too much isn't always a good thing."

The ripples immediately shifted the topic.

The next day, they officially began surveying the perimeter environment.

She followed Yang Bin wherever he went, doing whatever he asked. She didn't go above and beyond, but everyone knew she was part of his team, so they turned a blind eye as long as she didn't hold them back. As long as she did her intelligence analysis work, it was fine.

They spent five days surveying the three streets that were assigned to them.

At this time, Yang Bin also received a report of Li Li's death. The other party was shot in the back of the head by a stray bullet and died at the scene. However, the bullet that entered the other party's head was intact.

This proves that the bullet was not fired from a handgun, but without using a handgun, it achieved the effect of a handgun shot. Just thinking about it feels incredible.

Yang Bin's brow furrowed tightly. Was this an accident or something else He couldn't tell at the moment and could only call Director Jiang himself to explain what had happened.

The next day, Yang Bin had Lian Yi dress up and accompany him to a cocktail party.

"Big Brother Yang, this isn't good! We have a mission to attend to…"

Ripples said hesitantly.

"Don't worry, this time it's work-related. I need to meet colleagues from Guanghai and the key contact for this mission."

"Okay."

That evening, Yang Bin wore a suit and Ripple wore a white dress, white shoes, and white lace gloves. They went to the cocktail party together.

As the ripples spread in a circle, I saw an old acquaintance.

In the distance, John Lee in a white suit was holding a glass of red wine and chatting animatedly with someone.

John Lee had been on edge ever since leaving Pingbei City. When he realized the Blood Peony hadn't come after him, he let out a breath of relief while also feeling that her influence should be limited to Pingbei City.

Now that he's left the other party's sphere of influence, he feels secure, especially with the impending deal and his newly assigned important role. He's started to be more visible, attending significant events.

A deep smile spread across Ripples' face. She had found what she was looking for without any effort, it seemed like fate had brought her here. This journey to the Grand Sea was truly meaningful.

John Lee, though a chill ran down his spine, immediately became alert and scanned his surroundings. Finding nothing, he noticed that Ripple had already withdrawn her gaze and was answering Yang Bin's inquiries.

Do you know Mr. John Lee

"He's named John Lee, but he looks distinctly Chinese! Of course I don't know him."

The ripples expressed surprise, looking puzzled as to why someone with a distinctly Chinese appearance would have a foreign name.d the man in black and Song Dashan today, this letter might never have been seen."After some contemplation, the stone mill continued."Last life, Song Da Shan was also wandering around Mount Wan Kou.
