Meanwhile...

The entire bridge was blown up by Fujiwara Ito, and the explosion started from the side where Ye Hao entered the Yokohama Bridge, with over a hundred bags of explosives detonated consecutively.

"Boom boom boom boom!"

The concrete and steel bars on the bridge collapsed under the powerful explosives.

As soon as the bomb went off, Ye Hao drove his azure Ferrari off the edge of the highway, plunging into the river.

The car hadn't entered the Yokohama River yet, but the bridge above had already collapsed.

Ye Hao propped himself up with his hands, kicked open the car door on Yingxue's side with both legs, and then hugged Luo Yingxue and jumped out of the car. Otherwise, if they stayed in the car and fell into the river, they'd be sitting ducks, and Jiepeng's navy would come rushing in no time, so Ye Hao chose to swim away with Luo Yingxue.

Ye Hao, hugging Luo Yingxue, plummeted into the sea.

Fujiwara Ito, on the other side of the bridge, saw Ye Hao and Luo Yingxue jump out of the car and furiously shouted, "Don't blow it up, don't blow it up, baka!"

Fujiwara Ito was unsettled; if the entire bridge exploded and didn't kill Ye Hao, then blowing up the bridge would only result in Jiepeng losing billions for nothing.

So he anxiously ordered his men not to blow up the remaining bridge foundation, otherwise, they would have to pay a higher price to reconstruct the bridge later.

"Boom boom boom!"

Despite his order not to detonate, another bridge pier was blown up, making Fujiwara Ito's eyes twitch in anger! They didn't manage to kill the person, yet half of the bridge was destroyed.

"Ah! Baka, get me connected with the General." Fujiwara Ito shouted angrily.

After the call connected, Fujiwara Ito hurriedly said, "General, Fujiwara has disappointed you. The Chinaman drove off the Yokohama Bridge, and I blew up half of the Yokohama Bridge..."

"Baka! Why don't you just go die!" Jin San went ballistic upon hearing Fujiwara Ito's words. Not only did they fail to kill the person, but blowing up half of the Yokohama Bridge simply adds a blot on his military record.

"Baka!" Jin San cursed again, "Which direction are they heading, report to me immediately, electrocute them!"

"General, they are headed toward the Yokohama waters, swimming normally, still in the Yokohama River." Fujiwara Ito reported fearfully.

"Baka! Get people to survey both banks of the Yokohama River immediately, capture any unfamiliar faces." Jin San ordered.

He then glanced at the beautiful intelligence officer in front of him and said, "Kawamoto Himeko, activate the Yokohama River satellite for me immediately."

"Yes, General."

Intelligence Officer Kawamoto Himeko immediately activated the Yokohama River satellite feed.

Jin San saw that there were people in the Yokohama River, but not many, and said coldly, "Connect the Yokohama high voltage power immediately, electrify the river, they must die..."

"General." Kawamoto Himeko urgently shouted, electrify the river? It's fine for a small river, but the Yokohama River is so large? How many sea creatures would die? What a loss and impact it would cause! Once it starts to stink, there'll be no water source near the whole Yokohama River.

"Electrify the river, stop wasting time." Jin San was determined to electrify the river, to prevent Ye Hao and others from escaping.

Although Kawamoto Himeko was anxious, she could only discreetly send a secret message to Jiepeng's Prime Minister Abe, since the general had already decided.

Though she was from Emperor Miyazaki's faction, she remained rational when it came to Jiepeng's interests. She wouldn't contact Emperor Miyazaki, knowing his explosive temper, as he'd surely support electrifying the river upon hearing Ye Hao and others had escaped.

After sending the message to Abe, within thirty seconds, Abe ordered the cessation of all pursuit orders from the Sun Country.

Abe was a shrewd man, always accommodating Emperor Miyazaki, just to prevent domestic turmoil between civil and military officers, akin to the Zhao Kingdom's Lin Xiangru and Lian Bo from Huaxia's Spring and Autumn period.

Lin Xiangru was thoughtful, cautious, generous, wise, and was Zhao Kingdom's Upper Minister, equivalent to a Prime Minister in later generations, while the military officer was Lian Bo, who was rash and reckless but brave and honest.

Lian Bo despised Lin Xiangru's eloquence, yet his rank was higher, and sought to make trouble for Lin Xiangru.

Lin Xiangru avoided Lian Bo at all costs, even ducking into alleys when their paths crossed until Lian Bo passed before emerging.

This made Lin Xiangru's men feel disgraced, angrily questioning him, "Why fear him, sir, when your rank is higher than Lian Bo?"

Lin Xiangru replied with a smile, "Who's mightier, Lian Bo or King Qin?"

His men answered, "King Qin, undoubtedly."

"If I'm unafraid of King Qin, why fear Lian Bo? Qin Kingdom dare not invade Zhao Kingdom because of our civil-military harmony..."

Later, this phrase reached Lian Bo, who felt ashamed and eventually apologized to Lin Xiangru with a birch, leading to the idiom "apologizing with a birch."

Similarly, Abe hoped to be like Lin Xiangru, complying with Emperor Miyazaki in certain decisions, to show other nations their unity and deter contempt.

Sun Country was merely an island nation, and if the United States or Huaxia truly engaged in combat with them, they would definitely lose, even as the world's second-largest power.

Huaxia had reinforcements and ample resources, daring to engage Jiepeng in protracted warfare.

Jiepeng, however, if exhausted would need to import from other countries, which during war, others surely wouldn't supply resources easily? No matter how wealthy they were, without resources, their money was just paper.

After Abe's order, Emperor Miyazaki angrily asked Abe why he did so.

Ye Hao was unaware of their conflict, currently swimming quickly with Luo Yingxue from the Yokohama River Source toward the Yokohama Sea.

Luo Yingxue was speechless, shocked at Ye Hao's speed in the water.

With Ye Hao's speed, she realized how weak her family's Stepping on Snow Without Traces skill was.

Ye Hao took just five hours from the Yokohama Sea to Okinawa Island, the southwesternmost part of Jiepeng. Okinawa Island was once Huaxia's vassal, but now given to Jiepeng, simply because Huaxia did not want to be seen as a big country bullying a small country over an island.

Thereafter, Huaxia made the biggest concession, hoping Jiepeng would be satisfied.

Ye Hao held the shivering Luo Yingxue.

Luo Yingxue's petite form trembled, her underwater speed was delightful, especially the retreating fish on the coast.

But Jiepeng's waters were too cold, her lips changed color from the chill.

Ye Hao embraced her as they secretly came ashore on Okinawa Island, started a fire to warm her, then asked, "What will you do next?"

"What else? Go back to studying!" Luo Yingxue glared at Ye Hao.

"What?" (To be continued. If you like this work, please visit Qidian.com to vote for recommendation and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please read on m.qidian.com.)
