He Tiantian had been practicing for years and had long mastered the skills of a sharpshooter.
Even in insufficient light, even if it was her first time shooting in reality, He Tiantian still managed to kill with a single headshot.
He Tiantian then approached the body, stretched out her finger to touch the man’s neck to confirm he was truly dead, and then leaped out the window.
As soon as her figure vanished, the door was violently broken open.
Three or four Red Party soldiers were injured but had finally broken through the special agents’ blockade and entered the room, only to discover that the traitor had already been eliminated.
They were astonished, but dared not linger, and seeing the broken window, they quickly climbed out.
The men hit the ground and ran out, only to be shocked to find several more bodies lying at the entrance of the alley, by the corner of the wall.
These were supposed to be hidden special agents, trying to ambush them during their escape.
Yet, they had been killed before they could complete their mission.
"Old Feng, did you find other helpers?" asked one special agent, unable to hold back his curiosity despite his wounded shoulder.
"No!" Old Feng was also full of question marks.
However, being the old hand of the group, he vaguely knew they had a high-level special agent hidden within the Shadow Organization.
And it was rumored that the address of Room 207 at Binjiang Inn where the traitor was hiding, had come from within the Shadow Organization itself.
So, was it that hidden comrade who not only provided the information but also personally came to help eliminate the traitor?
He Tiantian: ...just call me Little Red Riding Hood, no thanks needed!
He Tiantian applied the philosophy of "accomplishing the task and forthwith concealing her role," quietly crediting the male lead with the achievement.
When she returned home, Qu Anni had already put their son to sleep but was still anxiously waiting in her bathrobe by the window.
However, seeing He Tiantian enter, Qu Anni quickly adjusted her mood, acting like a gentle wife she prepared supper and saw to her bath.
The night passed without conversation and the following morning, Qu Anni became somewhat impatient.
Using grocery shopping as an excuse, she hurriedly left with her basket.
When she returned at noon, her entire demeanor radiated happiness and relief.
The traitor was finally dead, and Comrade Flame’s crisis had passed.
She didn’t know who had taken action the night before.
Unlike Old Feng and the others, she immediately ruled out Flame.
Because Flame was a professional special agent, his job was to stay hidden, gather intelligence, and not to act rashly.
The mysterious person from last night was not only capable of executing the traitor but also able to cover the Red Party agents’ retreat.
Even if he wasn’t one of their own, he was surely a righteous warrior supporting the Red Party and wholeheartedly fighting against Japan.
Without dwelling on it too much, Qu Anni, herself an agent of the Guo Party who had experienced an awakening, thought about the four hundred million compatriots in Hua Country.
Among so many people, there would always be some who would stand up against the aggression and join forces with both the Red and Guo Parties to fight the enemy.
Perhaps it was the joy of finally eliminating the traitor, or maybe it was meeting a patriot, sensing Hua Country’s hope and future, Qu Anni was in high spirits.
He Tiantian noticed her cheerfulness and pretended to be excited, saying, "Annie, buy some more groceries, let’s have a grand dinner tonight!"
Qu Anni gently smiled and asked tenderly, "Why? Did something good happen?"
"Exactly, a huge stroke of luck! Haha, I made a fortune again today!"
He Tiantian posed like a true miser, her eyes gleaming with thoughts of money, and her tone full of pride.
If her husband were a devil, hearing him say this, Qu Anni would definitely be secretly annoyed: Is this devil harming our people again, or is he squeezing patriotic businessmen?
But her husband was just an ordinary Japanese.
And just a few days ago, when her husband got lucky for the first time, he boasted to her—
How he found a handle on Xu Si of the Green Gang, how he conspired with the Constitutional Soldier, and eventually had Xu Si killed and embezzled all his assets.
Xu Si of the Green Gang?
A true thug, and one who colluded with the puppet regime.
When the Guo Party’s special agent team was destroyed, Comrade Flame once told her: Scum like Xu Si who brought disaster to the country deserved to be executed!
But Comrade Flame didn’t dare to expose himself, and Qu Anni was merely a "messenger pigeon" responsible for relaying messages.
Without higher orders, no matter how much they despised Xu Si, they couldn’t act recklessly.
After all, their mission was to hide, not to root out traitors.
At that moment, Sugawara Kosuke, a Japanese national, killed Xu Si to seize his wealth.
