Chapter 303
Need my help?
She nodded. She didn't have anyone reliable at her disposal. Apart from Jiang Man, she couldn't find anyone else suitable to do this.
I need your people to help me deal with He Wensu. He is in the Imperial Hospital now. I will arrange the rest.
Jiang Man understood that something must have gone wrong with the plan from the past few days, otherwise she wouldn't have come to see him in the middle of the night.
Let me guess, the bigger this action is, the better?
Yes, and you have to do it quickly, I'm afraid something might happen if we're late. After this, I'll secretly send you out of the city.
Understood.
But we don't necessarily have to do this ourselves. Based on what He Wensu did, he has already offended a lot of people.
She understood what Jiang Man meant. What He Wensu did after he defected to his new master had indeed caused dissatisfaction and anger among many people.
As long as the news that he was seriously injured in the Imperial Hospital was released, someone would definitely take advantage of the lax defense and take action. Regardless of whether it was successful or not, for her, the benefits would outweigh the disadvantages.
It's not that she hadn't thought about this before, but she didn't have much contact with the other party and didn't understand their internal grievances, so she didn't know where to start.
If he could get Jiang Man's help and then act as a link, not only could he ensure the absolute safety of Jiang Man and the others, but he could also completely clear himself of suspicion. Perhaps he could also completely gain He Wensu's trust. This would indeed be a good idea.
I'll leave this matter to you. This way, you won't have to participate in the later operations. I suggest you leave the city as soon as possible, so as to avoid a city-wide search and martial law at the checkpoints, which will make it difficult to escape. I will draw up a plan as soon as possible and put it at the agreed location. If nothing unexpected happens, we will have to act within about three days.
As for the list you gave me, I will try my best. I am leaving now. I don't know when we will meet next time. Take care.
The same to you.
Jiang Man watched her leave, with a slight smile on her lips. "Old Li, Old Li, as you said, putting aside her identity and position, she is indeed a person worth making friends with."
After returning home, she worked under the lamp to come up with the entire action plan overnight, confirmed it several times, and put it in until the early morning of the next day.
Jiang Man also successfully obtained the plan in the evening of the next day.
She didn't have much time left, so she found an iron basin and burned the plan in her hand to remove all traces. She then hurriedly took the bag she had packed long ago, locked the door and left.
Jiang Man acted quickly. From spreading the news to alerting the people on the other side, it only took a few hours.
The first person to receive the news of the operation was the undercover agent in Shencheng, who was also Jiang Man's immediate superior.
The other party sent him a message overnight, ordering him to get rid of the traitor He Wensu.
Jiang Man has been exposed, so the task falls on another group of secret agents.
What she didn't expect was that Liao Pei and He Wensu had an old grudge. It was said that many of his brothers were betrayed and sacrificed by He Wensu.
Public hatred and personal grudges are mixed together. I believe that in this operation he will not let the traitor He Wensu go easily.
As expected, on the day of the operation, several men in ordinary clothes came to the palace gate to test the situation. They looked solemn, and their hands on their waists were always tense.
She was hiding in the corner of the toilet waiting for the opportunity, and she knew their identities at a glance.
It was Liao Pei's people who started to take action.
She took a quick look and could see almost all the people who were moving around, about ten of them.
It was noon at this time, and there were many people coming and going here. The few people never thought that someone would attack them in broad daylight, so they did not care too much about He Wensu's personal safety.
With help, it was easy to avoid their sight.
Seeing that the time was almost right, she pretended to have just come out of the corridor, walked to the front and said she wanted to pick up her stored things.
Before he could finish, several sounds of fighting were heard from the direction where He Wensu was.
She quickly took out the dagger from her waist and ran. When the guards on duty heard the sound, they quickly put down what they were doing, drew their swords and rushed in.
The people here suddenly became chaotic. She finally squeezed in and saw He Wensu running left and right in the crowd, causing heavy casualties wherever he passed.
Her face was heavy; the situation had become more serious than expected. Liao Pei had obviously no scruples about seeking revenge, and they had to get this scourge away from the crowd as quickly as possible.
He held the dagger tightly in his right hand and pushed forward against the wall. When he got close, he grabbed He Wensu's hand and dragged him into the room next to him.
He Wensu was about to struggle, but when he turned around and found that it was her, he immediately grabbed her arm tightly.
Fortunately you came, otherwise I would probably die here today.
She put her ear against the door, listening carefully to the noise outside, but He Wensu kept pulling her arm and shaking it from time to time, which made her annoyed and she subconsciously frowned and scolded him.
Shut up! Let go!
He Wensu was stunned by her behavior. He stood there in a daze, as if he had never seen her so fierce before, and let go of her hand in a daze.
You hide here, I'll go out and check the situation. The rescuers will be here soon, remember don't run around!
Without waiting for his response, she quickly opened the door and slipped out.
The next morning, almost everyone on the street was talking about the incident, and the city was on alert, which caused quite a panic.
Forces from all walks of life followed suit and collectively put pressure on Scarface and others.
During this period, Liu Zhiping, who was used as a punching bag by Scarface, had a hard time.
This happened right under his nose, and more than half a month has passed, but there has been no progress at all.
If he is held accountable, he will not be able to escape.
Several men in black who were on a mission that day were tortured to the point of almost losing half their lives by him.
But she knew nothing about this.
When Ning Xiaoru came to see her, she was fiddling with a few pots of flowers and plants by the window.
My dear aunt, you are still injured, why did you get out of bed?
I'm almost well now, so it's not a bad idea to come down and walk around.
True, but then again, why did you save that unlucky guy? He was recovering from his injuries and ended up launching an assassination, which also got you injured.
Given the situation at that time, we couldn’t just ignore it, right?
Ning Xiaoru seemed to remember something, took out a piece of paper from her bag and handed it to her.
Look, a little kid at the door just gave it to me and said he would give it to you. Can you see what it is?
She opened the note and turned to the folded side. A line of small words was printed on the upper right corner: The ancestral house has been resold, don’t worry about traveling - left by my cousin.
It was a letter from home. She left in a hurry and didn't see me, so she asked someone to deliver the note to me.
It seems that Jiang Man has successfully left Shencheng, and the distant cousin whose identity was replaced has also left to avoid disaster as agreed.
Next, it was time for her mission.
No matter what, things have come to the point where she has to do it. Even if she can foresee what the outcome will be, she cannot stop.
The master has already said that the mission is up to me and it is just my own wishful thinking.
