Chapter 210: Indirect Pressure
Johnley only found out at this time that after he entered his mansion, except for the doorkeeper at the door, he walked all the way to the study, and did not meet the butler and servant, obviously this Miss Peony had been waiting for him for a long time.
He looked down at his already aching and numb right palm, squeezed out an ugly smile on his face, and then pretended to be relaxed and said:
"Miss Peony misunderstood, the situation has been unstable recently, and I am also afraid that someone will be unfavorable to me."
"So I think I'm wrong about Mr. Johnley, when will you give me your information?"
Ripple didn't mean to apologize at all, and asked straight to the point.
"Ahem, the intelligence officers in the country haven't sent me any news recently, so."
John Lee immediately explained.
"You've got the gold from one of the small teams, and half of the wealth from the main team on the fourth evacuation route, in exchange for the information I need."
Ripple was unmoved and said directly.
Johnley's eyes flashed, Peony knew the fourth line, but obviously didn't tell him, and used the people of the underground party to divide up half of it.
"Don't blink, I know your virtues, but I've just prepared for both, and it's clear that your style of doing things is what I expected."
"Miss Ripples, this is not in line with our original agreement."
Johnley argued.
"I gave you three evacuation routes for Japan, did you reap the wealth from the interception team?"
"Yes, but."
"That'll do."
Ripple said strongly.
John pouted, obviously not wanting to fulfill the agreement, perhaps because he didn't want to give information, or maybe there was really no information that Ripple needed.
Ripple didn't waste his time, he just got up and left, not leaving a cruel word, just a smile of unknown meaning at Johnley.
After making sure that Blood Peony had left, Johnley went to his butler and found them all fainting in their respective rooms.
After Johnley bandaged his wounds, he waited until dawn and immediately went to his old friend Andrew.
Andrew's intelligence trading place is still thriving, and when he saw Johnley with a bandage on his right hand, he asked in surprise:
"Johnley, my friend, have you done anything dangerous?"
Johnley's dark circles were obvious, and he had no spirit, so he said weakly:
"It's hard to put into words! Andrew, I'm here to ask for your help. ”
"Please, if it's within my power, I'll help you."
Johnley briefly talked about the deal with Blood Peony, but he didn't say the specific content of the deal, but Andrew, as the owner of the intelligence office, immediately linked the intelligence content of the previous interception of the Japanese retreating troops with Johnley's words.
Andrew took a puff of his cigar and then said:
"So, Blood Peony didn't receive the information he wanted, so he attacked you? To tell you the truth, according to what I know about Blood Peony, if she makes a move, you shouldn't be able to come to see me. ”
Johnley's green eyes flashed, his eyelids jumped, and he said:
"You mean, Miss Peony has other intentions?"
"I'm not her, I don't know what she thinks, but I suggest that you give her the information, and don't fool her with any false information."
Andrew said with a good conscience.
The scene where five Japanese intelligence officers were killed that day, Andrew still remembers it vividly, and it was really clean and neat, like a natural hunter.
"I see!"
John Lee understood that he was now having a holiday with Blood Peony, and Andrew obviously didn't want to wade into this troubled water, so he could only thank him, and tactfully said that if there was any news of Blood Peony, he would tell him.
"Okay, I'll try."
As for whether he will tell Johnley the news of the blood peony, that's another story.
After half a month of calm, the intelligence officers of country M who stayed behind in Pingbei City had accidents one after another, and they were either robbed of intelligence or lost their lives, leaving a Luoyang red peony flower at the scene.
As soon as John Lee got the news, he understood that this was Blood Peony's revenge on him, and it only took half a month to break up the intelligence network of country M, and he couldn't sit still.
Ripple just wants intelligence, so she is putting pressure on Johnley in this way, and she was able to find the intelligence agents of country M so quickly, which is due to the National Party and the underground party.
Needless to say, on the side of the underground party, she is an official intelligence officer, and the Kuomintang side also re-entered the attention of the intelligence department because of the information she provided.
Ripples used the intelligence networks of both sides to wipe out all the intelligence agents of country M who stayed in Pingbei, but did not move Johnley.
Johnley has really been having trouble sleeping lately, and if he continues like this, he will not have any good fruit to eat when he returns to country M, so he went to the intelligence place run by Andrew and asked the other party to release the news that he wanted to see the blood peony.
Ripple received the news from Lao Zhou, smiled faintly, and three days later, wearing the cheongsam with red peony on a black background, went to the drinking party organized by Andrew.
When she stepped into the scene of the night's drinking party, there was silence for two seconds, and then the intelligence brokers, who spoke various languages, immediately whispered and looked at the ripples 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 face, a devilish figure, and immediately took two steps forward to meet her.
"Miss Peony, I have admired my name for a long time, and when I saw you today, I realized that their description of you is less than half of that of you."
After hearing this, Ripple pursed her red lips and smiled, then raised the wine glass in her hand and said:
"Thank you for the compliment, I came to apologize today, I was in the bar before, and I was plotted by the Japanese intelligence officers, and I must have caused you a lot of trouble, I'm sorry."
"Miss Peony, don't take it personally, it's 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 places, I hope you can come often."
Andrew was very good at talking, and immediately raised the champagne in his hand and touched the ripples, expressing his indifference.
Ripples sighed in his heart, no wonder this kind of person can mix with the wind and water, and the emotional intelligence is not ordinarily high.
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 has affected your business after all, in order to avoid the capture of the Japanese, I left for a while, so I couldn't come to the door in time to apologize, today I brought a new information as an apology, and thank you Mr. Andrew for your understanding."
"I'm a little flattered! Miss Peony was too polite. ”
Andrew said with a smile, but did not refuse the information provided by Ripples.
Ripple understood what Andrew meant, and handed a card to the other party with a smile:
"I hope it will be helpful for Mr. Andrew's future arrangements."
Andrew accepted the card and toasted Ripple with another glass of wine.
When Johnley received the news and rushed to the reception, he happened to see the two of them chatting happily.
