Chapter 210 Indirect Pressure
John Lee discovered at this moment that after he entered his mansion, except for the gatekeeper at the door, he walked all the way to the study without encountering the housekeeper or servants. Apparently, Miss Peony had already Just wait for him.
He lowered his head and looked at his right palm, which was already numb with pain. He forced an ugly smile on his face, and then pretended to be relaxed and said:
"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 have wrongly blamed Mr. Johnley. When will you give me the information?"
Lianyi had no intention of apologizing and asked straight to the point.
"Well, the intelligence agents in the country haven't sent me any news lately, so..."
John Lee explained immediately.
"You have 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."
Ripples Unmoved, he spoke 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 two preparations. And obviously, your style of doing things is what I expected."
"Miss Peony, This is inconsistent with our original agreement.”
John Li argued hard.
“I gave you three Japanese evacuation routes. Did you gain wealth from the intercepted teams?”
"Yes, but."
"That's fine."
Lianyi 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 gave John a smile with 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 John Leigh bandaged his wound, he waited anxiously until dawn, and immediately went to find his old friend Andrew.
Andrew's intelligence trading place is still running smoothly. After seeing John Leigh with a bandage on his right hand, he asked in surprise:
"John Leigh, my friend, you Did you do anything dangerous?”
John Leigh’s dark circles were obvious and he had no energy, so 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 said simply The transaction with Blood Peony did not specify the specific content of the transaction, but 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 attacked you without receiving the information he wanted? To be honest, according to my treatment of Blood Peony I understand that if she takes action, you should die to see me.”
Johnli's green eyes flashed, his eyelids twitched, and then he said:
"You mean, Miss Peony has other intentions?"
"I'm not her, I don't know her. 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 understand!"
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 expressed that if there was any blood peony, Just tell him the news.
"Okay, I'll try my best."
As for whether he will tell John Leigh the news about Blood Peony, that's 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 robbed 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 used this method to put pressure on John Leigh, 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 about the underground party, she is an official intelligence agent, and the Kuomintang party also let her re-enter the intelligence department's sight 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 Leigh has been really having trouble sleeping and eating recently. If this continues, he will have nothing to eat 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 reception, 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 in front of him with a gorgeous appearance, a 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 way they describe 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 came here to apologize. I was plotted against 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, it's just that they violated the rules of intelligence trading and it has nothing to do with you, and that bar is a bit old. I just took the opportunity to change the place. I hope you can come often."
Andrew was very talkative and immediately raised the champagne in his hand and touched Ripple to express 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. In order to avoid it, I was away for a while before the arrest of Japan, so I couldn't come to apologize in time. Today I brought a new piece of information as an apology and thanked Mr. Andrew for his understanding."
"This makes me a little bit sad. I'm flattered! Miss Mudan is so polite."
Andrew said with a smile, but did not refuse the information provided by Ripple.
Lianyi understood what Andrew meant and handed a card to the other party with a smile:
"I hope it will be helpful to Mr. Andrew's future arrangements."
Andrew accepted the card and toasted Ripple with another glass of wine.
When John Lee received the news and rushed to the reception, he happened to see the two people chatting happily.
