of her eye, then continued to eat silently until she had finished everything that had been brought. Only then did the burning sensation in her stomach subside.She wasn't Han Jing. The original owner..."Beautiful young lady, I wonder if it would be my honor to invite you for a drink."

John smiled politely and asked.

Ripples turned her head slightly, her gaze swept to the man speaking. She was looking at the ruby tie clip on his tie, and meanwhile, John’s gaze also drifted to the ruby brooch on Ripples' chest, then their eyes met.

"Thank you, I already have some wine."

His eyes were cold and sharp, a faint smile played on his lips, revealing eight pearly white teeth. He spoke in a soft tone.

John's eyes flickered, and then he lowered his voice to a whisper:

"Was it you who did Pan's thing"

"So what He wants information but doesn't want to pay anything. Wants to give me to that pervert Li Wenliang. If that's the case, I might as well just take the information myself."

Her eyes crinkled at the corners, and her eyeliner was winged upwards, making her look a little bit mischievous.

As an information broker, murder is a big no-no. That way, no one will buy and sell information with you afterward.

John glared with his eyes.

"That's right! So I'm selling information now, highest bidder gets it."

Ripples took a sip of the red wine in her glass and continued to smile.

"

Pan's information was intercepted by you!

"

"That information was what Pan prepared to exchange me for, and I obtained it by myself from that pervert Li Wenliang."

Ripple said, unconcerned.

What brings you here with Pan's token

John's eyes narrowed as he asked a sharp question.

"I'll sell the intel in my hands using your path."

The ripples' answer was very concise.

What information do you have in your hands

"I think a lot of people would be interested in the plan to wipe out the underground party."

The sound of ripples wasn't loud, but it wasn't small either. All the intelligence dealers around, ears pricked up, heard it. Their eyes flickered as they looked towards the bar, each one filled with the gleam of someone ready to pay for information.

"You"

John's eyes narrowed, and then he said in a low voice:

"Since you've borrowed our path, you have to pay a price. Don't even think about using us and then running away!"

"You're really flattering yourself."

Ripples put down the glass in her hand, stood up, and slowly approached John Riley, whispering softly:

"I smell the scent of an M-Nation person on you, cowardly and ruthless, with no bottom line, just like Pan!"

As she spoke, Ripples raised her delicate hand and lightly tapped the other person's chest twice.

To those around, the gesture seemed quite ambiguous. But for John Lee himself, it was fatal. He suddenly felt a sharp pain in his chest and, following the woman's push, he slumped onto the bar stool at the counter.

Ripples looked at John Riley's pale face, and directly straightened the tie on his chest. Finally, she patted the other's cheek and said coldly:

Don't mess with me, and you better keep your organization out of this information deal. Otherwise...

John Li wanted to call out to his companion, but before he could even open his mouth, the ripple knocked his jaw clean off. Then she turned to the bartender and said with a smile:

“This gentleman is too enthusiastic, he insisted on buying me a drink. I'll put this one on his tab!”

Yes, ma'am!

The bar, being wise to the situation, simply nodded in agreement. After all, it had seen the whole thing unfold and it was clear that the tall, handsome man was the one being overpowered.

Rill, with practiced ease, slipped the ruby tie clip into her own handbag and then rose to leave the bartender.

Needless to say, she had a crowd of followers trailing behind her, making it impossible for her to pretend not to notice them.

Ripple didn't take any transportation; she just wandered through the alleys, making turns and twists. In a few moves, she lost sight of the group that was trailing her, as their tracking skills were subpar. In the end, two men and one woman remained close behind Ripple, and it was clear that these three belonged to different factions.

Finally, the three of them cornered Ripples in a dark, dead-end alley. However, none of them dared to make a move. After all, this mysterious woman had previously led them on a wild goose chase with a trail of people following behind her, leaving them completely helpless. There was no reason for her to lead herself into a dead-end. The more she acted like this, the more confident she seemed, and the less certain they became.

The three of them weren't on the same side, and they were quite wary of each other. They kept a certain distance apart, stopping their steps after getting closer. It seemed like they were all waiting for the other to make a move next.

"Three of you have followed me for so long, and now that success is within reach, how could you possibly stop"

A languid tone, purposely altered by Lian Yi, suddenly entered the ears of the three. She then stepped forward from the darkness, exposing her upper body to the moonlight. Her red cheongsam, fair and alluring face, and the crimson lips curled into a smile gave off a chilling vibe.

The three people instinctively took a step back. The two men reached for their waists, while the woman went for her sleeve, clearly hiding weapons there as well.

"Since you've followed me, you're clearly interested in the information I have. So, make me an offer!"

Ripple didn't care about these people's defenses and continued to speak casually.

What do you want

But in the end, the woman spoke first.

"Silver coins, small yellow croakers, jade ornaments, antiques, I like anything valuable."

Liàn Yī at this moment held in her hand several pebbles, no bigger than marbles, and was gently rubbing them. Her gaze swept over the faces of the three people.

The three people's expressions were different. The woman who was asking the questions relaxed her expression instead. Of the two men, one looked at Lianyi with disdain and a superior air. Only the man who followed closest frowned, then recovered his composure shortly after, but there was a determined look in his eyes as he stared at Lianyi.

"I'll bet ten little yellow fish!"

The woman made the first offer.

"I offer one thousand silver taels, plus two jade ornaments and three antiques!"

The second man's tone was full of certainty.

The last man hesitated for a moment, then finally spoke:

"I can only offer five small yellowfish, but I can arrange for Miss to leave Pingbei and go to a safe place. She won't be implicated because of this deal."

As soon as he finished speaking, a man and a woman turned their heads, giving the man a hostile glance. It was clear they were displeased with his underhanded tactics.

Liàn Yī smiled, a satisfied expression on her face, and said:

I am very satisfied with your quotes, but for a moment I don't know who to choose from you.

As soon as she finished speaking, ripples quickly shot the stone bullet from her hand, aiming at the woman and the man who was willing to part with the antique.

None of the three were prepared, not even glancing at Ripples's attack. One man and one woman fell to the ground instantly, lifeless. The last man, like a startled bird, rolled on the spot and disappeared into the darkness. He clutched his gun, eyes wide with tension as he stared towards the spot in the alley where the mysterious woman had just stood.

At this time, aside from the two people lying on the ground in the alley, there was no trace of the mysterious woman.

The man slowly stood up, cautiously looking around, preparing to go forward and take a look. At this moment, a white and slender jade hand stretched out from the darkness and patted the man's shoulder.er side, Qiao Hao was also speechless after receiving Lian Yi's message, but he didn't stop her either. After all, she was now at the same level as him in cultivation. Following the events in Bian Xia...
