However, the information they have is far from the Kate Joe in front of them. The main reason is the change of face, so Peter Song asked Sheng Muyi if she was a makeup artist in a joking way.

After eating, the two walked out of the restaurant together. The Japanese spy was not watching outside the restaurant, so they didn't know where they went.

Back at the door of her cabin, Sheng Muyi smiled at Song and said, "Mr. Song, I won't invite you in when I'm here."

"You're welcome, Ms. Qiao should be more careful at night, that Japanese spy is likely to trouble you." Pete Song laughed.

"It's okay, I'll lock it inside." Sheng Muyi walked into the cabin and locked the door behind her.

Peter Song returned to his cabin, sitting on the narrow bed, thinking about the previous scenes.

"Could it be her? It can't be such a coincidence, right?" He thought for a long time and still couldn't be sure.

He decided to help her get out of trouble no matter whether it was the person he imagined or not. A Chinese woman was being targeted by Japanese spies and she couldn't leave it alone.

Sheng Youde lay on the bed for two days, and slowly regained his vitality. The first thing he did after regaining his energy was to have someone call Lu Ming.

"We have heard from the Japanese side." Sheng Youde said while wearing loose home clothes and holding a telegram.

"The Japanese side? Shouldn't the British side give us an answer?" Lu Ming said.

"No, the British side is just building a bridge to help us put pressure on the Japanese side. We have to discuss the specific conditions with the Japanese side. I also used the power of some Japanese chaebols and asked them to give a performance to the Japanese emperor." Sheng Youde Relieved.

"How did the Japanese respond?" Lu Ming didn't really understand the process of international relations, but the substantive issues he cared about.

"The attack from both sides is effective. The Japanese side has confirmed that regardless of whether the 520 plan exists or not, the military operation will be cancelled, so there will never be another 520 plan." Sheng Youde said happily.

"What do you mean it doesn't matter whether the plan exists or not? They should first find out whether it exists or not, and if it exists, whose responsibility is it. It feels like they are playing sloppy." Lu Ming said angrily.

"It was originally a sloppy eye. The Japanese military played a sloppy eye on the government, and the Kwantung Army played a sloppy eye on the military. I guess it should be like this. Anyway, the 520 plan was finally cancelled. The news from the Japanese Emperor's Secretary's Office is still reliable." Sheng You Virtue.

"Can't the Japanese military headquarters strictly control every army under it?" Lu Ming didn't know much about the situation in the Japanese political and military circles.

"That's not necessarily the case. Isn't it the same in China? Can the government of the Republic of China tightly control Guangdong, Guangxi, Shanxi, and Sichuan? No. The situation of the Japanese army is not so complicated. They are somewhat similar to the military towns in the middle and late Tang Dynasty. The navy and the army are two Dafan Town, they all obey the orders of the government and the emperor on the surface, but in fact they follow the orders of the government and obey the orders of the emperor, and go their own way." The reason why Sheng Youde was able to accomplish this is also because of his deep understanding of Japan's national conditions.

"Separation within the military is quite new." Lu Ming felt that Japan is a very strange country, which is very advanced in some aspects, but surprisingly backward in some aspects.

"The middle-level officers in the Japanese navy and army are very powerful. Isn't the actual power of the Tang dynasty's feudal towns also in the hands of the middle-level generals? As long as they are dissatisfied with the actions of the chief officer, they can encourage the lower-level officers and soldiers to rebel against the chief officer. Therefore, the army These giants sometimes turn a blind eye to the disobedience of the subordinates." Sheng Youde laughed.

"That's a good thing. If they can fight endlessly every day, they'd better kill each other." Lu Ming also laughed.

"Aren't we the same? Cannibalism is still rare. It hasn't stopped in the past 20 years." Sheng Youde sighed.

Sheng Youde was referring to the melee between warlords, but when it came to cannibalism, Lu Ming couldn't help but think of Sheng Di, and his expression suddenly became sad.

"They promised to cancel the plan, didn't they make any demands?" Lu Ming felt strange.

"It's no wonder that they didn't. They first asked us to keep it secret. We couldn't announce it to the outside world, and we couldn't leak it to anyone. In addition, you guessed it, they asked for the release of Sheng Di, who must be handed over to the Japanese side."

"What? They also want to take care of Chinese people's housework? Old man, you can't listen to them." Lu Ming almost jumped up from his chair.

"Your analysis made sense last time. Japan's choice to buy Sheng Di was premeditated. I thought Sheng Di was just a one-time tool for them. Now it seems that they want to hold him for a long time and use him to deal with me in the future. "Sheng Youde sighed.

"No, we must not let Sheng Di fall into their hands. This is a thunderstorm, and it might explode one day." Lu Ming objected.

"I know. But they said this is a hostage exchange, and they will send Ziyuan back to us intact only if Sheng Di is given to them." Sheng Youde said with a wry smile.

"That doesn't work either. Let's just say that Sheng Di committed suicide in fear of crime and hanged himself in his room." Lu Ming gritted his teeth.

Sheng Youde didn't speak, he was silent for a while and finally let out a long sigh.

Lu Ming heard the complicated meaning of this sigh. On the one hand, it was the coercion of the Japanese;

"Old man, you are being soft-handed now, leaving a big hidden danger for you and Mu Yi's future." Lu Ming persuaded.

"Isn't there still you? Even if there is any big trouble in the future, it will be a legal dispute. I believe you can solve this trouble." Sheng Youde comforted himself with this life-saving straw.

"But..." Lu Ming couldn't continue, he didn't know what to say.

He can understand Sheng Youde's feelings. This old man has always put his reason above his emotions, and many times he can't even see his emotions, as if his whole body is a collection of reason.

But facing his own nephew, he suddenly made a 180-degree change, and there was no sign of reason in him.

"Then give it to them, but there must be a prerequisite. Sheng Di can only live in Japan and cannot return to mainland China." Lu Ming said dejectedly.

"Well, I think so too. As long as he doesn't come back, he won't cause you too much trouble in the future. Let's think about it for now." Sheng Youde said with some guilt.

He knew that what he did was to leave a time bomb for his daughter and Lu Ming. This bomb may never explode, and it may explode suddenly when you are least prepared.

But he believed in Lu Ming, and believed that he had the ability to defuse the bomb at the most dangerous time.

"By the way, what about Mu Yi? We can't just ask them to bring Ziyuan back, we have to have Mu Yi come back safely." Lu Ming said.

"They said that they don't know the whereabouts of Mu Yi, and they started looking for it after the accident, but they haven't found it yet." Sheng Youde said.

"Do you believe their nonsense? I wouldn't believe it even if I was killed. Mu Yi may not be in their hands, but if they say they don't know Mu Yi's whereabouts, they are still holding back." Lu Ming said with his eyes wide open.

"I understand what you mean, and it might be that way. But now we hold their handle, they actually control Ziyuan, even if they control Muyi, it's still the same thing." Sheng Youde didn't want to make things worse To make it more complicated, he was in a hurry to get Zi Yuan back quickly.

Although his thinking is a bit conservative, it is not wrong, and if he can save one right now, it counts as one.

"Then hold them back first, and make it clear that if Mu Yi doesn't come back, it's impossible to let Sheng Di go to them." Lu Ming said.

Lu Ming felt very uncomfortable when he thought that Sheng Di would just get away like this, and that he might go to Japan and still live a life of debauchery.He regretted it a little, why didn't he shoot directly when he restrained Sheng Di that day?

"It doesn't make much sense to procrastinate. Just give it to them directly. This will also allow Ziyuan to come back earlier, and we can get news of Mu Yi from her." Sheng Youde said.

"But... just let Sheng Di escape without any punishment?" Lu Ming felt reconciled anyway.

Although Lu Ming said so, he knew in his heart that Sheng Youde had made up his mind to let Sheng Di go.In the face of family affection, he still made the biggest concession.

Lu Ming didn't believe that Sheng Di would repent. He wasn't standing on the edge of a cliff, he had already fallen into the abyss, and it was impossible to see the light again.

What will happen in the future can only depend on God's will.
