Stunning beauty, the hero of Collapse is happy again

Chapter 261: Paranoid Warlord and Vengeful Undercover (20)

Ruan Guannan originally planned to find a reason to go out for a walk on the agreed day, but she didn't expect that after they parted at the banquet, Liu Mengmeng really treated her as a good friend and often asked her out shopping.

This would also dispel some doubts, and Ruan Guannan would naturally not refuse her invitation.

On the appointed day, Ruan Guannan suggested going to the theater to listen to a play, and Liu Mengmeng excitedly agreed.

It happened that someone in the theater ordered a sentimental love play today. Liu Mengmeng listened very seriously and did not notice that Ruan Guannan next to her was no longer in his seat.

At this time, Ruan Guannan was already in another box.

The box was very quiet, no one spoke, and the only sound was the sound of water pouring tea from the man from time to time.

He leaned against the window and looking down, he could see the actors on the stage singing in a singsong voice. Just by listening to the lyrics, he could taste the love and affection between them.

Ruan Guannan stood not far away with his head down. He waited until the man finished listening to the play before he turned his head casually and looked closely at the man who could not be ignored just by standing there.

"Have you adapted to the time you've been in Jincheng?"

Nie Lianzhou originally wanted to give an order directly, but when he saw her standing there without saying a word, he inexplicably changed the subject.

Ruan Guannan was a little surprised by his euphemism, but still nodded, speaking calmly without any emotion.

"Everything is fine, thank you for your concern, Marshal."

Nie Lianzhou knew that she grew up in Jincheng and now she was just returning to her hometown. How could she be concerned about whether she could adapt or not?

He just asked casually, and felt a little stupid the moment he asked it.

He smiled and nodded, "Tell me what you have gained during this period."

Ruan Guannan explained his current situation in detail, and then added: "I have already lurked beside Pei Shichang. If the young commander has any instructions, just give them to me."

Ruan Guannan asked directly. Although she was a spy trained by Nie Lianzhou, she could not actually be considered his subordinate. After all, she was alone and there was no handle to hold her down.

It just so happened that Nie Lianzhou's goal did not conflict with what she wanted to do. She also wanted to repay him for his five years of training. She was only fourteen when he left. Now...

She respected Nie Lianzhou, but she would not bow down to him.

Nie Lianzhou chuckled. His skin was fair and his appearance was feminine. Now that he smiled, he looked even more romantic, but the gloomy aura around him made people dare not underestimate him.

The pair of long legs under the long gown stretched out, his elbows resting on the armrests of the chair, supporting his chin, looking at her with a half-smile, playfully:

"Then Pei Shichang is almost fifty years old, right? He can be your grandfather, and you are his concubine?"

Ruan Guannan pursed his lips and didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

Seeing that she had no expression, Nie Lianzhou waved his hand uninterestedly, then said in a deep voice:

"Pei Shichang was born in a humble family but he has great ambitions. If he had not married a wealthy wife, he would have taken over Liao District and marched straight to Wan City."

Nie Lianzhou looked straight at her, the coldness in his eyes staring at Ruan Guannan, "I want you to cut off his source of income."

At the same time, in the study of Bailou, Pei Jingmo leaned back in his chair and listened to Adjutant Liu's report.

"Young Marshal, I have sent people to monitor Miss Ruan. She was very close to the daughter of the Liu family on the day of the banquet. She was invited by Miss Liu to visit clothing stores when she left the house in the past three days. We did not find anything unusual."

Adjutant Liu thought for a moment and added, "Today, the two of them made an appointment to go to the theater to listen to a play."

Pei Jingmo's eyes moved, "Listen to the opera?"

"Yes, the two of them booked a private room on the third floor. The people who followed them were afraid of getting too close, so they didn't follow them."

Pei Jingmo raised his hand and rubbed his brows, with a rare trace of fatigue on his face. The purpose of Wancheng's visit this time was to renew the peace treaty with Jincheng, and he did not expect Wancheng to make such a decision.

Based on their large-scale actions some time ago, Pei Jingmo thought that Wancheng was preparing for war. He didn't expect this to happen. Pei Jingmo didn't believe at all that Wancheng was really ready to coexist peacefully.

On the contrary, he felt that Wancheng might make some big moves.

Pei Jingmo has strengthened Jincheng's defenses in the past few days and only now has time to return to Bailou.

"What's Nie Lianzhou's whereabouts?"

Ever since the people from Wancheng entered Jincheng, Pei Jingmo secretly sent people to monitor their movements until they left Jin District.

Speaking of this, Adjutant Liu was somewhat helpless.

"Nie Lianzhou has some special hobbies. His favorite place to go these days is Paramount. But today, after he left, the people below accidentally lost him. We have gone to look for him, but there is no news yet."

Pei Jingmo paused, his eyes meaningful, "Lost?"

Adjutant Liu nodded, ready to be reprimanded by the young marshal, but he did not expect Pei Jingmo to directly order: "Go to the theater to look for him."

He had a hunch that Nie Lianzhou should be there.

Adjutant Liu was stunned for a moment, but after thinking about it he realized what was happening. He did not dare to delay and personally took people to the theater to check the situation.

Pei Jingmo's eyes were cold and it was unknown what he was thinking.

After signing the peace treaty, the people of Wancheng quickly left the Jin District, and the top leaders of Jincheng also breathed a sigh of relief.

They were afraid that this group of people would do something strange, and they were even more afraid that people from Wancheng would cause trouble in their territory, which would then give Wancheng a reason to send troops.

After meeting Ruan Guan'an, Nie Lianzhou only left her with a task and left.

Before Ruan Guannan accepted the mission and left, Nie Lianzhou rarely said something like "Do your best, and if you fail, quickly retreat to Wancheng."

She was a little confused. During their training, these spies had placed the mission on a higher level than their lives. If the mission failed, they would only die.

Ruan Guannan puts revenge first and carries out his mission in the process.

She didn't take Nie Lianzhou's words to heart, because she couldn't allow herself to fail in the mission, and she still had to keep her life to seek revenge on Pei Shichang's family.

That day, Ruan Guannan took the initiative to ask Liu Mengmeng out, which made Liu Mengmeng very happy. She dressed up beautifully and went to the date.

The two first went to a cafe to drink coffee, and then went to a clothing store to buy clothes. Liu Mengmeng really likes to match nice clothes and had a lot of fun choosing.

At this moment, there was a sudden "bang" of gunfire outside, followed by gunshots as dense as raindrops, echoing in the street, scaring passers-by to flee in all directions, fearing that they would become the victims of the gunfire in this conflict.

The clothing store where they were was very close to where the conflict took place. Several panes of glass were directly shattered by the gunfire. The owner of the clothing store was so frightened that he held his head and ran into the room.

Liu Mengmeng was so scared that she was shaking all over. She immediately grabbed Ruan Guannan's arm and wanted to find a place to hide.

Ruan Guannan patted her shoulder soothingly and whispered, "You hide first. We can't hide together. It's too conspicuous. I'll find another place."

After saying that, without listening to Liu Mengmeng's rebuttal, he pushed the person into the changing room and locked him up.

The panic on Ruan Guannan's face faded. She glanced at the colorful clothes around her, pulled off a white dress and put it on, took a hat and a scarf to cover her face, and decisively left the clothing store.

The gunshots outside were still ringing, and Ruan Guannan avoided the panicked crowd and walked in one direction.

At the other end of the street, Wen Lishan was sitting in his car, preparing to attend a banquet invited by his colleagues.

The car was fine at first, but suddenly it braked and stopped. The driver hurriedly said:

"Master, there seems to be a conflict ahead."
