CHAPTER 733: CHAPTER 733: SCHEME WITHIN A SCHEME

The people sent by Ishino Yoko rushed to Mengyao and Qiu Wen’s residence, but after forcefully breaking in, they found not a single trace of a living person, only the brutally slain corpse of Honda Yu.

"What?" These people stood in shock, horror-stricken. They were naturally aware of Honda Yu, and now, witnessing his tragic death with their own eyes, they couldn’t help but feel a sense of sympathy. At the same time, they had to admit that if Honda Yu could be killed so easily, it showed how formidable their opponent was.

After they had gathered the body, they left with heavy hearts.

As for why they hadn’t found any sign of their target, they had no idea. All they could do was retreat for now.

Soon enough, Ishino Yoko received the news.

"What?"

"Honda Yu is dead?"

"Bastards, they dared to kill Honda Yu, right under my nose. This is outrageous deception."

"This is a provocation, a blatant provocation."

"They simply don’t regard Japan’s dignity at all."

"Die, they must die. Even if I have to dig three feet into the ground, I will find their whereabouts. This is Japan, our territory. We absolutely cannot let them leave Japan alive."

"Belittling Japan’s might is an unforgivable crime, deserving of a thousand deaths."

Ishino Yoko was furious, a tide of murderous intent surged from his heart.

In his view, even if Honda Yu really reached out to kill, Ye Fan and the others wouldn’t dare to strike back so ruthlessly. At most, they’d teach Honda Yu a lesson, because Honda Yu was acting on behalf of Japan.

He would never have imagined that Ye Fan and the others were so audacious, daring to disregard Japan’s might and brutally murder Honda Yu. This was a blatant challenge to the Japanese government, as if they didn’t take Japan seriously.

How could Ishino Yoko remain calm, with his heart seething with murderous intent?

"Nationwide alert, notify the naval defenses, flights, and shipping routes. Monitory all routes leading out of the country closely, find the target’s whereabouts at all costs, and kill the target," Ishino Yoko issued the highest order, while also reminding: "According to the information we have, the target is extremely skilled in hacking, so we must pay special attention to this."

The massive machine of the Japanese government was set in motion, investigatory efforts and murderous intent rolling into every field, every corner.

Overwhelming, leaving no dead corner unexamined, the Japanese government went mad in order to eliminate the target.

......

After Honda Yu’s death, Mengyao and Qiu Wen left and joined up with Ye Fan and his party at a new stronghold. They were unaware of the frequent actions of the Japanese government, but could sense the pervasive killing intent.

An entire nation’s murderous intent, how sharp that is. Even Ye Fan and his people dare not take it lightly.

However, to speak frankly, Ye Fan didn’t wish to oppose Japan; the fault lay with Japan for striking first.

Therefore, they naturally would not hold back, and it was only logical to strike back accordingly.

Although they dreaded Japan’s murderous intent, they were not fearful.

"This is Japan. Once we expose our whereabouts, it will indeed be troublesome. Facing their army or weaponry with heavy firepower could pose unimaginable threats to us," Qiu Wen was the first to speak, "If we keep hiding, it’s only a matter of time before we are discovered."

"Master, what should we do next? You must make a decision," Shen Yaqing said, "Should we engage with Japan for a while or just leave?"

"What’s there to engage with? A nation’s murderous intent shouldn’t be underestimated, nor should Japan’s vileness and shamelessness," Ye Fan said blandly, "Once Japan pinpoints our location and uses missiles, that’s a deadly threat."

Ye Fan continued, "After making some preparation, we’ll just head home. If we encounter any threat on our way back, we’ll deal with it then."

"Still planning to fly back?" Qiu Wen asked, "Being at risk in the air is potentially very dangerous."

Since they arrived by plane, Qiu Wen had this question.

"If we face an attack by fighter jets or ground missiles, it truly becomes dangerous," Qiu Wen expressed her concerns.

"Japan, as a tech powerhouse, we’ll exploit that fact to our advantage this time, and they’ll safeguard us," Mengyao showed no worry, knowing that while the odds were heavily against them if danger arose mid-flight, sufficient preparation would ensure their safety.

"Mengyao, you mean?" Qiu Wen burst into laughter, understanding the implication behind Mengyao’s words.

"Exactly." Mengyao confirmed.

"Master, it’ll be up to you to show your skills again. Compared to you, my skills are far behind," Shen Yaqing said with a chuckle.

Mengyao’s words awakened the group, and they all understood what tactic to employ in retaliation.

Evidently, it meant using hacking techniques. As long as they could find technical vulnerabilities, hacker skills would be an invincible weapon.

Following this, Ye Fan focused all his attention on manipulating the computer, locking onto a military base as his target. He slowly infiltrated the military base’s internal network through hidden channels.

After much effort, he finally infiltrated silently.

Having found security loopholes in the military base, he began further operations.

Not until late at night were all the preparations complete.

On the next morning.

Ye Fan and his party left their temporary stronghold, heading for the airport.

Along the way, they walked openly under surveillance cameras without harm, and the same was true upon reaching the airport.

Compared to infiltrating a military base, solving such minor issues was something Shen Yaqing could handle. With some manipulation, surveillance feeds would change accordingly.

And thus, Ye Fan and his party smoothly boarded the plane.

In the first-class cabin, they all sat down safely.

While they had evaded surveillance, human eyes would be more difficult to dodge.

Ishino Yoko had assigned secret agents to guard all routes leading out of Japan.

Therefore, once Ye Fan and the others boarded the plane, the secret agents reported this to Ishino Yoko.

Upon receiving the news, Ishino Yoko laughed maniacally, "It’s truly the road to Heaven that you refuse to take, and yet you choose to storm Hell’s door. With so many routes to leave the country, you inexplicably chose the least secure escape method, flying by plane. I could dispatch a few fighter jets to blow up the plane or cause mechanical failures so that you’d plunge down from ten thousand meters high, and would absolutely die without a trace."

He laughed victoriously, now able to finally wash away the shame and exact revenge.

Ishino Yoko couldn’t wait, issuing the order to launch the fighter jets.
