s mouth.Guozizheng still wanted to struggle and resist, but because he had lost too much blood, his hands and feet were weak. Hong Lian roughly grabbed his jaw and forcefully shoved the Blood Jade Bea...Ripple put down half of her packed luggage and went to the principal's office, where she saw Principal Wu standing by the window.

"Headmaster Wu, is there something you need"

Wu Yu heard the sound of ripples, only then did he turn around, leaving the floor-to-ceiling window. After supporting himself with his ebony cane and sitting down, he waved to Ripples and said in a low voice:

"Teacher Wu, please sit down and talk."

Ripple smiled and nodded, then sat down, waiting for the next words.

"The KMT is preparing to negotiate with the underground party, hoping that I, as a non-partisan figure, will participate in these talks and promote cooperation between the two parties."

Principal Wu paused here, then continued:

"Teacher Wu has always been outspoken and daring, with overseas study experience and exposure to advanced ideas. Do you think I should attend"

Ripple hadn't expected Old Wu to ask her opinion. She lowered her head and thought for a moment before saying:

"Principal Wu, you hesitated because you were afraid of dragging the school, this sanctuary, into the conflict, especially since Japan has not completely withdrawn from China yet."

"Yes, I have this concern because my title of Sir Anping was bestowed upon me by President Shi himself. I am also under the protection of the Kuomintang, although I haven't officially joined them. In the eyes of others, I have already been labeled as a member of the Kuomintang, which is unfair to the underground party."

"Headmaster Wu, there is no absolute fairness in this world. The purpose of the negotiations is to bring both parties together to fight against the invaders. Let's drive them out first and then talk about other things."

From this perspective, both parties have the same goal and can cooperate. I think you don't need to worry too much.

Liàn Yī smiled and said.

In her view, even without Lao Wu, this cooperation would certainly have been successful. The only question was whether the two sides would live in peace after driving out the invaders.

"There are no problems at the moment, but what about after the cooperation ends"

Wu sighed with worry.

Let's talk about it after the cooperation ends.

"That's really typical of how young people do things."

Wu Yu smiled and said.

"Where there is a will, there's a way. If there's no way, make one."

The ripples of the atmosphere spoke.

"I'm truly getting old, I don't have the same vigor as you youngsters anymore. You're right, worrying so much is pointless. I hope Teacher Wu can accompany me as my secretary to this summit, would that be alright"

Of course, having the opportunity to meet important figures from both parties is a good thing for me.

Ripple smiled and agreed. Anyway, she had originally planned to go to the KMT's headquarters in Xijing, so this saved her a trip.

In recent days, all newspapers in Pingbei City have been reporting on the negotiations between the two parties. The public also hopes that the two parties can cooperate, learn from each other's strengths and make up for each other's weaknesses, and jointly resist foreign enemies to save the people from fire and water.

As Sir Ping's personal secretary, Lianyi also appeared at the negotiation site after passing through layers of checks on the day of the negotiations.

Principal Wu, still in his usual formal black robe and carrying his ebony staff, entered the venue accompanied by Lian. As soon as he stood firm, representatives from both parties surrounded him, greeting Old Wu one by one.

In the eyes of both party representatives, U Lao may be low-key, but he is still worthy of respect.

Ripple stayed by Lao Wu's side throughout, smiling the whole time. Just as her smile threatened to become strained, Lao Wu finally sat down, and the official talks began.

Both sides were clearly well-prepared, so the talks went smoothly. They drafted and signed an agreement to cooperate against the enemy on the spot. People like Lao Wu, who are non-partisan, acted as witnesses to this historic moment.

Everything went very smoothly, and the person in charge of on-site safety let out a big sigh of relief. Unfortunately, at the last photo-taking session, there was still a problem.

As the old-fashioned camera flash went "pop, pop", Lian Ri heard a different sound from the flash flickering. The target was aiming at both party representatives. She hesitated for three seconds, cursed inwardly, and pushed Wu You down. Then she turned around, opened her arms, and dove forward, knocking both representatives down.

Because everyone was lined up in three rows, standing right on the stairs, when Ripples jumped in, they all tumbled over each other like a pile of building blocks. A large group of people were knocked down at once, and the scene immediately became chaotic.

The armed guard immediately rushed forward, lifted Ripples up and controlled her, preparing to help everyone up one by one. Although Ripples had her hands twisted behind her back, she still shouted loudly:

The person who just took the photo has a problem, he wants...

This time, before she could finish speaking, there was a sudden crash. The ceiling light came crashing down and landed exactly where everyone had been standing just moments ago when they were taking a picture together.

Because of the ripples, everyone ended up moving away from the core position where the chandelier was falling. As for being scratched by the chandelier fragments or anything like that, it wasn't a problem anymore.

The two soldiers controlling the ripples looked at each other and immediately released the rippling disturbance, stepping forward to drag the fallen person down.

After regaining her freedom, Liàn Yī went straight to Wǔ Lǎo. Now she didn't need to perform anymore.

Ripples pulled Lao Wu to hide behind a pillar as thick as two people, and then he opened his mouth to explain:

"Principal Wu, the situation was urgent just now. I discovered something abnormal and didn't have time to explain, so I pushed you over. How are you doing now Are you hurt"

Wu Yu patted the dust off his robe and then said:

"As an old man, I'm still capable of moving around. But after what you've done, they will definitely want to have a detailed conversation with you. Be prepared."

Before the ripples could even nod, the sound of "bang bang" gunfire erupted around them, clearly indicating that both sides had already engaged in battle.

Wu Lao and Lian Yi immediately lowered their figures. For the elderly and weak like them, who had no combat power, it was best to avoid heroics and just survive.

The gunfire lasted for a full fifteen minutes before gradually subsiding. Only then did the people slowly rise to their feet, checking on themselves and helping their comrades.

By the time the ripples finished answering their questions and they returned to school, the sun had already set.

On the second day, news of the attacks on both parties and participants from the previous day's talks had spread to every corner of Pingbei City through major newspapers.

Both parties also pointed the finger at Japan as the source of this attack, but unfortunately, the other side did not respond at all. After all, after reaching a cooperative agreement, Japan has been losing ground on the front lines and couldn't care less about this failed assassination.

Things are still fermenting, and the ripples have returned to normal. Pack up your belongings and prepare to leave the employee dormitory. She can just return to school after the New Year.

Right after she left school, a black sedan pulled up and stopped her. Two men in black suits jumped out, snatched her luggage without saying a word, and shoved her into the car.

Ripples' eyes flickered, and she pretended to be startled, exclaiming in a panicked voice:

Who are you What do you want with me Is there more

Before she could finish her words, her mouth was covered. A black bag was suddenly thrown over her head, plunging the world into darkness and silence.

Ripples fought back twice intentionally, the little man in her heart had already started cursing. If it weren't for Shi Ju reminding her just now that these were people from the KMT, she would have flipped her face long ago.the show!”Xia Xin is really eager to try this time, this is a long-term mission."You should keep an eye on Zhang Xuetou, but don't let the people around him find out. Even if he's careless, the people...
