Thinking about the tragic situation his country was about to face, Taro Kono had no desire to continue his verbal sparring.

Now, he only has one card left.

"Minister Liu, I admit this was my mistake!"

Kono Taro rarely backed down like this, but then he changed the subject again.

"But don't forget, we're all in this together!"

"You'd better find a way to bring those experts back to me, otherwise, once China finds out you've leaked secrets..."

These words are a blatant threat.

But Liu Yonggang didn't care at all: "Who's on your side? We're all in secret contact. Do you have any evidence that I leaked the intelligence?"

Despite saying that, Liu Yonggang's heart was far from calm.

Under normal circumstances, even if the Japanese Prime Minister were to accuse him of colluding with the enemy, it wouldn't matter.

Even the most skilled experts couldn't find any evidence through the secret communication via the "red telephone."

As for the telephone recording, transcribing the electronically synthesized voice also makes it impossible to determine its authenticity.

But things are different now.

That brainless nephew must have taken some crazy medicine, actually dragging him into this in public.

Just like the old saying, "My dad is Li Gang."

It's hard not to attract attention.

He knew that someone was secretly investigating him at this very moment.

If the leak is added to the mix, even without substantial evidence for the time being, life will definitely not be easy.

So after a period of intense and rapid psychological struggle.

He compromised.

Before Kono Taro could speak, Liu Yonggang sighed deeply in a tone of disappointment and frustration.

"well!"

"After all, we've known each other for a while. Prime Minister Kono, please don't say I'm abandoning you to your fate. You have one last chance. If you can seize it, you live; if you can't, you die."

As soon as Liu Yonggang finished speaking, Kono Taro's attitude took a complete turn.

The shamelessness of the Japanese was on full display.

Gone was the threatening tone from before; now, he smiled politely and humbly, saying, "Minister Liu truly doesn't abandon his friends. Please speak!"

After a moment's thought, Liu Yonggang slowly spoke: "As far as I know, the rescue team has another mission."

“They will be going to Rokkasho Village in Ibaraki Prefecture, north of Tokyo. You can prepare in advance.”

Although Liu Yonggang had just decided to reveal the news, he deliberately concealed key information.

Even so.

Upon hearing this unusual place name, Kono Taro immediately became alert.

"Six Villages!"

"Minister Liu, what are their specific tasks?"

"I'm sorry, Prime Minister Kono, I'm just a lowly deputy minister, and I'm not familiar with the specifics. Please be reliable this time and don't mess it up again!"

"Beep beep beep..."

Liu Yong hung up the phone without giving the other party a chance to speak again.

Kono Taro, however, frowned and held the landline receiver for a long time without hanging up.

He kept muttering to himself, "Six Villages... Could it be..."

After a long pause, he finally slammed down the receiver with a serious expression.

He shouted towards the office door, "Notify the Minister of Defense to come here immediately!"

...

At this moment, Liu Kai was unaware that he had been betrayed once again by the heartless Liu Yonggang.

But Liu Yonggang really didn't expect that.

His second leak, which he had finally made up his mind to do, turned out to be a serious misjudgment.

Because Liu Kai had no intention of taking Ouyang Wenlian and the three experts with him to Rokusho Village in Ibaraki Prefecture.

Instead, he prepared to act alone as always.

After all, the more people you bring, the greater the chance of something going wrong.

Of course, he wouldn't be foolish enough to leave Ouyang Wenlian and the others waiting idly in Kamakura City.

If the Japanese devils come knocking on our door, then we'll have made a wasted trip.

At 6:00 a.m., the group arrived safely on the outskirts of Kamakura City.

Instead of continuing forward, Liu Kai parked the car at a secluded corner.

He handed the steering wheel to Ouyang Wenlian.

Using the excuse that he needed to go ahead and scout the situation, he hurriedly left with his walkie-talkie.

However, Liu Kai did not go to the gas station where they started.

Without a doubt, that cobbled-together steel-framed aircraft had long been destroyed.

There were even quite a few informants still stubbornly lurking around.

So he chose the completely opposite route and ran eastward, soon arriving at an inconspicuous shrine.

This was the hiding place that Liu Kai had chosen in advance.

The shrine's small houses were also submerged in ice.

Only two tall, bright red torii gates remained, their top frames exposed, with icicles hanging from them as the cold wind blew.

The shrine is surrounded by a large, continuous forest, and the dense canopy of trees, laden with snow, completely obscures the sky.

Furthermore, even within urban areas, Japan has done a great deal of greening.

This grove of trees blends seamlessly into the other residential areas, without appearing out of place at all.

Liu Kai chose this location because the dense forest could effectively conceal the aircraft.

It also exploited the Japanese people's inexplicable awe of ghosts, gods, and shrines.

Even if someone comes to search this place, they won't dig three feet into the ground to blaspheme the gods.

Most importantly, it's very close to the frozen seaside.

Once you decide to flee, it's very convenient.

After looking around and choosing a relatively open and auspicious spot, Liu Kai took out a shovel and started digging.

In just two minutes, a dent was dug out according to the size of the airplane.

The aircraft was released from the storage space and retreated into the pit seamlessly.

Then a layer of silver-white insulating tarpaulin was placed on top, and the tarpaulin was covered with a layer of fluffy snow and fallen leaves.
