Chapter 213: A New Identity

the danger now after a morning of recovery. He just took his medicine and went to sleep."What"Ripple pretended to be startled, then her face turned white instantly. She stood up abruptly and said anx...On the first day at Ripple Report, I was assigned to organize the archive room.

The small room was filled with many boxes, covered in dust. They contained data from who knows when. The only indication of recent activity was the marks left by this move; before that, they hadn't been opened.

"The ripples, although these materials are somewhat outdated, they were once classified information. As you organize the data, you become familiar with the process of intelligence analysis and accumulate information along the way. There are also many foreign language materials inside, which happen to be your strong suit."

Wei Yi smiled and said.

"Okay, I understand."

Ripples didn't feel embarrassed at all and smiled in response.

Then he took off his military jacket, rolled up his sleeves, and began organizing the boxes, starting with the smaller one.

Wei Yi was very satisfied, nodded and left the messy file room.

After everyone left, Lian Yi finally sat down on the only clean chair, crossed her legs for a while, then got up and left the file room.

The ripples went around the first floor, after getting familiar with the environment, it went to the second floor, walked around each department, all with ready-made excuses, borrowing cloths, mops, and buckets, pretending to be cleaning, actually understanding the location of each department and the structure of the floors.

"Wu Ke Yuan, why are you not at your post and wandering around the building"

Without looking back, Ripples knew it was Irin, who she didn't get along with.

"Reporting to Eileen, Director, I am currently borrowing cleaning supplies."

"When did you become a cleaner"

“I don’t want to either, but unfortunately the archive materials are all classified and not suitable for cleaners to enter and clean. I can only do it myself.”

After bowing, Lian Yi held onto the mop and said.

Eileen seemed pleased with the answer, nodding in satisfaction and saying:

Then you have to work hard!

After finishing, he left directly.

On her first day on the job, Lin's shift ended with cleaning up. She didn't even touch those boxes.

In the following days, Lien seemed to be busy running around every day, but in reality, she wasn't working hard. She only sorted through one-third of the dusty filing cabinets.

After a month and a half, Lianyi noticed the Action Team members were becoming increasingly active. She immediately sped up her work, finishing all the old files ten days later.

Then, she took a well-organized file folder labeled “Directory” and knocked on Wei Yi’s office door.

"Wei, Chief, here is the organized file directory I put together. Please take a look."

Wei Yi took the folder, looked at it carefully, and nodded with satisfaction:

"Ripple, you're doing very well. It seems like putting you in the intelligence analysis department was the right call."

"Thank you, Wei for the praise. I'm just doing my best."

"I don't know what the next task will be for me."

Ripples volunteered to do it.

The Recent Intelligence Gathering Division has received a lot of new intelligence that needs us to organize and analyze it, determining the veracity of the information.

Liàn Yī frowned and said:

"What the section chief means is that we need to liaise with Section Chief Eileen, right"

"Well Got a problem"

"Wei Chang, you know we don't get along, and her rank is higher than mine. She will definitely make things difficult for me then. It would be best to have someone else handle the contact with them!"

Ripple smiled and said.

"Wu Lianyi, this isn't a market, there's no haggling here. You should obey orders and follow commands."

Since you say so, your new task is to liaise with the Intelligence Department, filter information, and then conduct analysis.

Vice-Officer Wei said with a smile.

Ripples's face changed, and she replied reluctantly:

"Yes, Colonel Wei!"

After bowing, he left the office with a sullen face.

Along the way, several colleagues greeted Ripples, but they noticed that her face was a bit sour. After all, they hadn't known each other for long, so they didn't ask too much.

When the ripples went to Irene's place for liaison, they were indeed made difficult. They ran back and forth three or four times before getting the information. When she returned to the Intelligence Analysis Department, she deliberately slammed the material onto the table.

"Xiao Wu, why are you so angry"

An elderly Yang Bin, from the Intelligence Analysis Department, smiled and asked.

"It's not Yilin Director, intentionally making things difficult for me. Just this little bit of data made me run several times to get it."

Ripples hung a displeased expression on his face, without the slightest attempt to conceal it.

"Have you and Eileen, the department head, had a falling out"

"It's not about celebrating holidays, she's just jealous that I'm younger and prettier than her. She can't stand seeing me get attention from Chief Chiang and will trip me up whenever she gets the chance."

Ripples rolled her eyes.

The people in the department didn't know how to respond when they heard this.

"Well, well, Xiao Wu, you're too honest! You can't say it like that!"

Yang Bin took a sip of strong tea and said.

"Big Brother Yang, I joined the intelligence department by chance, my experience is average, and it's incomparable to yours. However, I joined resolutely because I want to contribute to my country."

But reality and my imagination were a little different, which made me disappointed. If we can't even speak the truth, what's the point

The ripples' words were understood by everyone, but this was something only someone like her, a rookie, could say. They couldn't.

"Little Wu, don't be so discouraged. Your work is still very promising, and I believe in you."

Yang Bin always avoids confrontation and refuses to offend anyone, so he just laughed it off and brushed the matter aside.

Ripple pretended to be resigned and started screening materials, but his attitude wasn't very positive. After a whole morning, he didn't even turn to the second page of the documents in front of him.

Actually, when she received the file, she didn't go straight back to the analysis department. Instead, she went to the restroom first and quickly skimmed through the information before returning to her office, setting up the scene that happened earlier.

Ripples browsed through the information, failing to extract any useful insights. She knew this was Eirin's new tactic of making things difficult for her, but it played right into her hands.

That evening, Ripple visited the Intelligence Collection Department, went through all the recent intelligence materials, put the documents back in their place, and quietly left again.

After going back, Lian Yi closed her eyes and began to filter all the information. After summarizing it, she found that the Nationalist Party was recently raising money and conducting surveillance over the entire city, covering almost all important locations in Pingbei City.

These messages made her acutely aware that the KMT's arms purchase deal was already on the agenda. However, it seemed that the location and specific time of the transaction were both subject to change, or perhaps John Lee's intelligence was inaccurate.

Three days later, Lian Yi would finally finish organizing the intel collected by the Intelligence Division and filter it before handing it over to Wei Yi.

Wei Yi flipped through the pages before saying,

"You've been at this for a while."

"Mr. Wei, this is my first time independently analyzing intelligence. I'm a bit inexperienced and want to do my best, so it took me some time."

Lily's face was solemn as she spoke.

Wei Yi's eyes twitched, too lazy to say more to Lian Yi. He directly commanded:

"Irene has been busy lately and her department needs some help. Your work here is finished now, so you can temporarily go over there to assist."

"Mr. Wei, if I have done anything wrong, please tell me and I will definitely correct it!"

Liàn Yī said very sincerely.s also an advancement for my Meng family's direct line. There is no need to insist on placing Meng family members in important positions, which might displease the Emperor.""Yes, this old slave has ta...
