Ephemeral clouds and works

Chapter 195: Direct Confrontation

    

is Pan Wenbin deserved his death. I should have tortured him more, for letting him die so easily.""Don't worry, the obstacle has been cleared. Please keep up the good work!""Stop shouting slogans, did..."Cleanse the house I think you know I'm back safe and sound, haven't become your scapegoat, so you came to silence me!"

Ripple sarcastically retorted.

"If you hadn't betrayed us, how do you explain being alive The Japanese never let anyone live who betrays them!"

Eileen hugged her arms and said.

“This is all thanks to your arrangements. Those thugs, desperate for survival, directly pointed out the comrade who led them. That comrade didn't have time to betray me before he died at Fukyun Building. The third body that was transported out that day was his.”

Ripples said ironically.

"You killed him!"

Eileen said hatefully.

“Instructor Eileen, you flatter me too much. With my skills, I couldn't possibly kill anyone. At most, I could just draw attention away from you so you could act freely. Besides, I've never seen this supposed colleague of yours before. You didn't tell me about him before the operation. Which one of those thugs was my comrade!”

After hearing this, Eileen's eyes flickered. She had given the male colleague the task of taking advantage of the chaos to kill Wu Lianyi and then finding an opportunity to escape. As a result of a twist of fate, Lianyi survived, while the other party died. However, she wouldn't admit it now.

"How do you prove you haven't betrayed"

“Then you prove that I betrayed My background is clean, and Principal Wu vouched for me on behalf of the school. That's how I survived and escaped from there. It was a narrow escape.”

But the fact that I am alive and left does not mean Japan has eliminated its suspicions about me. When you touched me here, didn't you notice there were people watching me all around

Ripple, having said that, put away her self-defense pistol and crossed her arms.

Eileen and Deputy Wei exchanged glances, their eyes flickering. When they had slipped in just now, they had indeed spotted suspicious figures. However, they were so eager to confirm whether Ripple could come back alive that they bypassed those people.

"You are the bait that Japan's military is using to lure us!"

Irene thought she had underestimated the little delicate girl who was at the bottom of her training scores.

"Don't think you're so important. If I really wanted to, I wouldn't have used a silenced gun just now."

"You're playing the long game!"

Eileen continued,

"I'm too lazy to tell you."

Liàn Yī directly glared at the other person, then pulled out a piece of paper from under the lamp and folded it in front of both of them. Then, she handed it to Vice Officer Wéi.

Seeing the other person hesitate, she rolled her eyes and said:

“This is a floor plan of the Japanese headquarters, along with the locations of their guard posts. I just drew out one level from memory, as for the layout of the second and third floors, I’m unable to do so.”

Vice-Officer Wei was somewhat surprised, not expecting such unexpected gains.

How do we know the information you provided is true

Eileen spoke again.

"I don't believe you haven't placed people in Japan. Since you don't trust my information, then go and verify it yourself!"

Liàn yī said very singlely.

“”

Wei Fu-guan did not respond. After finishing her tirade against Eileen, Lian Yi turned to Wei Fu-guan and said:

"Vice Officer Wei, considering Instructor Eileen has biases against me, I request a change of contact. I'm afraid she might take credit for my achievements and then set me up to die again."

"Cough, alright, we'll verify the truth of the information. You enter a state of dormancy for now. To eliminate doubts from the Japanese side, you won't be assigned any missions recently. Wait for my notification."

"Yes, Vice Officer Wei!"

Wei, the deputy officer, gave Eileen a wink and then gestured to Ripple to turn off the lights. After the room darkened and their eyes adjusted, they jumped out the back window and left Ripple's residence.

After the two people left for about an hour, another person knocked on Lianyi's door. A man in civilian clothes came in, looked around, and noticed the bloodstains under the window. He frowned and asked:

"Did you guys fight"

"Yes, they came to clean up after me, but I didn't sit idly by. I fought back forcefully and told them that even though I was released, I was still under suspicion and being monitored. Then I coaxed them into leaving."

Ripples explained softly.

Have they given you any new tasks

"Instructor Eileen said that they wouldn't activate me until my suspicion was cleared, putting me in a temporary sleep state while awaiting the results of the investigation,"

The ripples didn't mince words, and said directly.

"Who came with Eileen"

The man continued to ask.

"This was my first time meeting her. Eileen called the other person her adjutant." Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!

"Good, we will continue to monitor you for a while. Once the dust settles, we'll withdraw and help you regain their trust."

"Okay, I understand!"

The man seemed quite pleased with the ripples's sense of timing, and directly fished out two small yellow fish from his pocket and threw them onto the table.

"This is your deposit!"

Then he turned and left the room.

After everyone left, Lian'er curled her lips and hid the gold bar inside the bedpost before falling asleep peacefully. She hadn't slept well these past few days, living in fear.

On the other side, Eileen and Lieutenant Wei had been pacing outside for half the night, making sure they weren't being watched. Only then did they return to the temporary contact point.

After giving Eileen a quick bandage, Wei, the deputy officer, took out a folded piece of paper and said as he opened it:

"It's a good thing Ripple's aim isn't that great, and it was dark. She missed her shot, so your arm just got grazed. If we had run into the better shooters, I reckon we would have been hurt."

I don't know where she got so much resentment, she actually dared to shoot at us.

Yiren said angrily.

She was forcibly conscripted in the first place, and you used her as a pawn in her very first mission. I would be angry too if I were in her shoes.

Wei, the officer, scrutinized the blueprints in his hand while making a lighthearted remark.

"Since her suspicion hasn't been cleared, don't use her for now."

Eileen still insisted.

Okay, listen to me. You rest first. Tomorrow after dark, we'll leave the city. We need to at least verify the authenticity of this drawing.

After the two returned to the training base, when the drawings were placed in front of Instructor Chiang, he furrowed his brows. Instinctively, he felt that these drawings were genuine.

"Instructor Chiang, due to uncertainties about the authenticity of the intelligence and given that Ms. Wu is currently under surveillance by the Japanese, I have put her into a state of dormancy. Unless absolutely necessary, I will not activate her for missions for now."

Captain Wei directly stated his disposal plan.

"When I convinced Teacher Wu to join our special operations group that day, I remember you showed her some information about people on the assassination list.

If she could draw a floor plan of the entire building after just three days at the Tokyo headquarters, then remembering the names of those assassination targets would be child's play for her.

Instructor Chiang's words jumped around a lot.

Instructor Wei reacted for a moment, then understood what his superior meant.

while Eileen said with a smile on her face:

"If all the Japanese officers Ripples has seen are protected, then it proves she betrayed us!"

"Shall the decapitation plan continue"is thoughtful."As soon as Grandma Sun heard that Lián Yī wanted to return to the Hou Mansion, her eyes lit up. She immediately hid her thoughts."Madam, where is Mei Zhi"Grandma Sun swept her eyes arou...
