ant or inconvenient to serve her husband, use a trusted maidservant to win over the man's heart, so that he wouldn't lessen his favoritism towards Miss Dong. Especially since she had inherited the bes...Sithu Yi stopped here for a moment, then Lian Ri touched his nose and briefly recounted what he had experienced, returning the narrative to Sithu Yi.

"Cough! When your head fell off, we were terrified it was yours!"

"How is that possible You must have the wrong idea about Ripple's combat strength."

Zhao Jia immediately interjected, then turned to Lian Yi and said:

They still didn't have the understanding we did. When that head came flying down, we knew you were fighting them up there. Me, Li Qian, Sun Weifeng, and Mingzi immediately drew our guns and shot those bastards!

MeiZi got shot because she was too close to the Luzo River. Just thinking about it makes me shudder, this mission wasn't supposed to involve any injuries originally.

After listening to Zhao Jia's explanation, Lianyi nodded her head to show that she understood, and then asked:

"They must have some more men hiding down there!"

"Well, there were a dozen or so of them, but they lost the initiative and we took them down."

Sun Weifeng nodded and said.

"It seems like they were the ones who set an ambush first, but because Dong Zicheng, that fool, wanted to scheme against me, he prematurely triggered the conflict. However, this is also a good thing, as it caught them off guard. The only regret is that Brother Yuan got injured."

The ripples spoke wordlessly.

"We're in for a small skirmish here. I heard from the officer clearing the battlefield that they have snipers!"

Li Qian also frowned and asked.

"Fortunately, I was alert and wearing a bulletproof vest, only got shot in the shoulder!"

Ripple truths, speak honestly.

"Wow, you actually took down all thirty of those ambushes! That's impressive!"

Sun Zhou gasped and immediately gave Lianyi a thumbs-up.

"Alright, routine procedure!"

Ripples calmly accepted the other party's compliments.

"Rejoice with us! This is the first time anyone on our squad has been injured. Before we directly confronted those who were raiding for food, none of us were hurt."

Sun Weifeng said with a hint of pride.

"Previously, all the groups we've dealt with were just disorganized mobs, armed with nothing more than knives, swords, and clubs. Not a single decent firearm among them."

But these people are different. They are spies, and they have weapons. I suspect they have accomplices, otherwise they wouldn't be desperately recruiting people during a natural disaster. They definitely have other intentions.

Ripple touched the wind swirling in her arms, leaning against Jiayao who stood beside her, and shared her guess.

“Anyone who is alive will be taken back for questioning. This spy certainly won't be allowed to run amok on our land.”

As the conversation came to an end, a knock on the door was heard. Jia Yao was the first to run over and open it. Standing outside was Xu Fenfang.

"Grandma Xu, how is my uncle doing"

Jiāyào asked with a choked voice.

"Don't cry, Jiayao! Your uncle is doing well. It's just that the anesthesia hasn't worn off yet, so he needs to sleep for a while. He'll be awake in half an hour."

Xu Fenfang immediately soothed her.

Then can I go see him

"OK, go ahead!"

Jia Yao immediately turned back to look at Lian Yi, seeing her nod before he quickly ran back to their house.

"Aunt Xu, you've worked hard!"

"Captain Yuan was more fortunate; the bullet lodged in his bone and didn't travel with the blood flow. They could see it just by opening the wound, and the surgery went smoothly. The rest is just rest and recovery. He won't be affected in his movements afterward; he's young after all."

Xu Fenfang smiled and said.

"That's great! Situ, please go and collect the rewards this time. It would be best to get some ox bones or pig bones and make a soup for Brother Yuan when you return."

The ripples turned to face Situ Yi and said.

"Okay, no problem. I'll take care of the follow-up first and report on the progress of the task by then. I'll see Captain Yuan tomorrow."

Si Tu Yi and his four companions did not live in the same building as them. After confirming that the captain was fine, they took their leave.

Three days later, Rin and her companions received their second mission: to wipe out the hideout of Riku and his gang.

These people were indeed as she had guessed, wanting to take advantage of the disaster and the ensuing panic. They planned to seize the opportunity when the national government temporarily lost control over local areas in order to make a big splash in Qimu City. Their calculations were quite shrewd.

Qimu City has been a shining gem in the west since ancient times. Its geographical location is superior, bordering eight countries with the province and city. It can be said to be the most important place on the Huaguo map.

These people also had their eyes on this piece of land, and they came here to stir up trouble. Just as things were about to heat up, a natural disaster struck, trapping them all here completely.

Because their intentions were impure, they were also like a rabbit with three burrows and had stockpiled some supplies. They survived the first three months, but then an extreme cold snap struck, killing many of them. Their manpower suddenly became scarce. After the order stabilized somewhat, they began to return to their old ways, wanting to recruit more people and stir up trouble.

And Dong Zijing and Sun Peng were so hungry that they had no choice but to join Lu Zuochao because someone had robbed them of their relief supplies. After all, the two were college students, and while their appearance wasn't perfect, with a little tidying up, they could still pass muster.

After that, the two of them set up a stall in the trading market, specifically targeting those who were gullible and overly confident. They used every trick in the book to cheat and swindle people, accumulating a large amount of food and gaining the favor of Lu Zuochao.

Dong Ziqing felt unbalanced after encountering ripples in the trading market. Why was the other party able to live a life of luxury, surrounded by bodyguards He was willing to sell his soul just for that!

Jealousy drove him mad. After some roundabout inquiries, he learned that the leader Ripple was following had great capabilities. He went back and expressed his intention to recruit the other party, with the only condition being that Ripple belonged to him. Unfortunately, all his calculations fell through because Ripple always relied on herself.

Lu Zu川 never expected that even with such meticulous planning, he would still be caught. He hated Dong Ziqing, the bane of his existence, from the bottom of his heart. Unfortunately, the other party had already kicked the bucket. Moreover, there was no such thing as "privileges for spies" at the moment. He was treated to three meals a day plus snacks until he couldn't take it anymore and confessed everything.

For the messages provided by the other party, the military and police immediately arranged for personnel to verify them. If the other party provides false information to mislead them, innocent civilians could be harmed.

So the mission was only arranged three days later. This time, Situ Yi led the team, and it wasn't just their small squad that went to carry out the purge mission; there were also nine other squads.

The ripples, once again, came with a whirlwind, setting out under the cover of night and stealthily reaching their opponent's den.

These people chose an old neighborhood this time, simply because it's on higher ground. Only the bottom five floors were flooded, and the upper floors are still habitable. Plus, this area is well-connected, so they can escape quickly if anything happens.

Everyone had already received their assigned tasks. One squad was responsible for guarding each exit, and the attacking squad's task was to charge in. All they needed to do was make sure no fish slipped through the net.

The sound of gunfire, "bang bang bang," was startlingly clear in the pitch-black night. It signaled that those inside the hideout had already clashed with the police and military.eation company.Morgan frowned, gesturing to his men to hold their positions.
