Chapter 2909
Hearing this, Ye Chen understood the ins and outs of Zhou Liangyun being locked in Brooklyn Prison.
He couldn't help but sigh: "I was originally surprised that with the strength of the Rothschild family, if you really stole their things, they didn't need to solve it through legal channels at all. It turned out that you took the initiative to call the police and surrender."
"Exactly." Zhou Liangyun nodded and said helplessly: "In the United States, although the influence of the Rothschild family can override the law, the premise is that it cannot arouse public anger. I did steal their things, but since I took the initiative to surrender, this matter must go through judicial procedures;"
"Under such circumstances, even they cannot take me away directly. I am also an antique dealer with some fame, and I know many people in the upper class. If they catch me and abuse lynching, once the news leaks, the face of the US police will be lost;"
"So, people from the Rothschild family can only settle for the second best and let the court lock me here. And even if they torture me again, they dare not kill me, because I was only sentenced to fifteen years in prison. If I don't walk out of this prison after fifteen years, the Rothschild family can't give the public an explanation."
Ye Chen said firmly: "Uncle Zhou, I will take you away from here today. As for the Rothschild family, I will explain it to them myself."
"Absolutely not!" Zhou Liangyun blurted out: "Young Master, I am a prisoner locked in Brooklyn Prison because of theft. If you take me away today, the Rothschild family will not only not let it go, but will definitely take it out on my family;"
"More importantly, once I leave, I will become a fugitive!"
"Although the square treasure pagoda originally belonged to China, it was indeed stolen by me from the Rothschild family. The US court sentenced me to prison, and I am willing to accept it, but I must never bear the infamy of being a fugitive."
Ye Chen said with some worry: "Uncle Zhou, if the Rothschild family can't get the square treasure pagoda, they will definitely not let it go. If you still have more than ten years of sentence, these ten years will definitely be very difficult."
"It doesn't matter." Zhou Liangyun smiled slightly and said seriously: "When I did this, I had already considered the consequences;"
"Since this matter has been exposed, the Rothschild family will definitely not and dare not kill me directly. What they want now is to get back that square treasure pagoda;"
"So, the best solution now is to let the square treasure pagoda return to China. Once the square treasure pagoda returns to its original owner, even if the Rothschild family is shameless, they will never dare to ask China for cultural relics that originally belonged to China. When the Rothschild family realizes that this square treasure pagoda can never return to their hands, they will no longer think about making a fuss about me;"
"I will serve my sentence honestly. Even if the Rothschild family continues to make things difficult for me, they dare not really do anything to me;"
"What's more, even if they kill me then, it will be meaningless. Killing me won't make them get the square treasure pagoda back at all."
As he spoke, Zhou Liangyun looked at Ye Chen and begged: "Young Master, I just said I have one more request, which is to ask you to help bring the square treasure pagoda back to China. This is a national treasure of the Chinese ancestors and should return to its homeland to contribute to the country."
Ye Chen didn't expect that Zhou Liangyun was so concerned about his homeland while overseas. While moved, he couldn't help but nod and say: "Uncle Zhou, don't worry, I will definitely bring the square treasure pagoda back to China. I have a friend who happens to have a relatively high relationship, and I can donate the square treasure pagoda back through him."
What Ye Chen thought of at this moment was Sun Zhidong, one of Lin Wan'er's foster sons.
Since the square treasure pagoda is a national treasure, he naturally has no right to keep it for himself. Handing it over to China through Sun Zhidong is the true return of the treasure to its owner.
Zhou Liangyun was also very excited at this moment and said: "Everything is entrusted to the Young Master. The square treasure pagoda returns to China, and I serve my fifteen-year sentence in the United States. This matter can be considered as even."
Ye Chen said seriously: "Uncle Zhou, the British and the Rothschild family have looted so many historical and cultural relics from China. Let alone more than a hundred years, even if it has been a thousand years, what was robbed is still robbed. Even if it has been a thousand years, the cultural relics that should belong to China are still China's, and sooner or later they will return to China. If the Rothschild family makes you serve the full fifteen-year sentence, I, Ye Chen, will be the first to disagree. Don't worry, I will find a way to make the Rothschild family give up pursuing your criminal responsibility, make them withdraw this theft case, and return your freedom."
Zhou Liangyun hurriedly said: "Young Master doesn't need to entangle with the Rothschild family for my little matter. What's more, your father and the Rothschild family had some grudges back then. New hatred and old grudges will only bring unnecessary trouble to you."
Ye Chen shook his head and didn't speak, but his heart was made up.
Seeing that Ye Chen no longer responded, Zhou Liangyun couldn't help but sigh, changed the subject and said: "Young Master, besides the reason why I went to prison, you must have many questions to ask me, right?"
Ye Chen nodded and said truthfully: "To tell you the truth, Uncle Zhou, seeing the photo of you and my father, I have countless questions in my heart. I most want to know why you went to work at Jiqingtang, and what kind of relationship the 'Nine Mysteries Heavenly Sutra' has with you and my father?"
Zhou Liangyun smiled slightly and said: "The reason why I went to Jiqingtang is because I promised your father that I would send the 'Nine Mysteries Heavenly Sutra' to you at the right time."
Ye Chen was shocked in his heart. Although this answer made him feel shocked, it was not beyond his expectations.
He had long guessed that his ability to obtain the "Nine Mysteries Heavenly Sutra" must be related to his father, but he didn't know why his father would arrange a clue spanning nearly twenty years so early.
After all, his father passed away twenty years ago, and he was only eight years old at that time.
And when he obtained the "Nine Mysteries Heavenly Sutra," he was already twenty-seven years old.
So, he couldn't help but ask: "Uncle Zhou, I want to know, did my father tell you to give me the 'Nine Mysteries Heavenly Sutra' when I was twenty-seven?"
"No." Zhou Liangyun said this, unable to suppress his inner excitement, and said loudly: "What your father told me back then was that when you are a trapped dragon rising to the sky, I must send the 'Nine Mysteries Heavenly Sutra' to your hands to help you rise like a dragon with the wind, soaring ninety thousand miles! Nineteen thousand miles! Ninety thousand miles! Nine hundred, ninety million miles!"
