Chapter 2926

At this very moment, near the Zhou family manor.

A large number of agents arranged by the Rothschild family are currently hiding and lurking around the Zhou family manor and inside the manor.

They even bought another villa next to the Zhou family manor and used it as the command headquarters for the operation.

In the room on the third floor of the villa that can overlook the Zhou family manor, they have set up a large number of monitoring equipment, and at the same time installed a whole wall of monitoring equipment, among which there are multiple angles that are thermal imaging screens. In addition, more than a dozen people are strictly guarding here 24 hours a day.

On the roof of this villa, multiple snipers are always on standby. Combined with the help of thermal imaging, they can accurately kill a mouse hiding in the grass at a distance of nearly a thousand meters.

Since the Four-Directional Treasure Tower was swapped by Peter Zhou, they have started monitoring here. They dare not say that they can make a fly unable to fly out of the Zhou family, but at least, any mammal with temperature cannot slip away under their noses.

At this time, a helicopter roared into the courtyard of the villa. After the helicopter landed steadily, Steve, who was in his prime, and his son Royce walked off the helicopter together.

The person in charge of the scene had been waiting here. Seeing Steve, he immediately stepped forward and said respectfully: "Hello, eldest young master, I am Hank Gilbert. You can call me Hank. I have prepared an office and a bedroom for you. If you have any other needs, just tell me."

Hank is one of Howard's most trusted confidants. He was a top agent of the Department of Homeland Security before. He has iron-blooded means and kills people like hemp. Currently, he specializes in operating these dirty jobs for the Rothschild family. Although he only takes orders from Howard, he also knows very well that this time Howard let Steve come over, it was to let him take the credit. Once Steve takes this credit, the future family patriarch will be none other than him. Therefore, he is particularly polite to Steve.

Steve also knows very well that Hank is his old man's confidant general. If he can get closer to him and bring him under his own use, it will definitely be of great help to his future succession. Therefore, he also said very politely: "Thank you for your hard work, Hank. I hope Royce and I won't bring you any trouble."

Hank said hurriedly: "Where, where, you come to us to guide the work. We haven't had any actual gains here for such a long time. You are here, maybe you can bring us a breakthrough!"

Steve didn't expect that a tough guy like Hank who came out of the Department of Homeland Security would speak so nicely. A flattery made him feel a little light, and he was very satisfied.

Therefore, he said with a smile: "Hank, if we find the Four-Directional Treasure Tower here, you will definitely be the number one hero of the Rothschild family!"

Steve knew very well in his heart that since he came to pick the peach, the first hero must be his own. The reason why he said so was also to lift Hank up, letting him know that he would not treat him badly.

Hank said with a smile: "If we can really find the Four-Directional Treasure Tower here, then it must be your wise leadership, eldest young master!"

Hank also knew very well in his heart that finding the Four-Directional Treasure Tower, Howard would naturally not treat him badly. As for whether it was the so-called first credit, he didn't care at all. The Rothschild family is a family. The family naturally takes the core members of the family as the foundation. He just takes the money. As for the false name of credit, it is better to leave it to Steve. After all, it is very likely that he will be his master in the future.

Therefore, both sides exchanged commercial flattery, and everyone was happy in their hearts.

Steve and his son were led by Hank to the third floor. Looking at the Zhou family manor from a distance, Steve asked Hank: "Have you searched the inside of the manor?"

Hank said hurriedly: "Not just searched, we have already secretly used detectors to shine through the entire building and all the courtyard areas, and there is no discovery for the time being."

Steve was a bit surprised and asked him: "The Four-Directional Treasure Tower is metal. If the detector didn't find it, does it mean it's not here?"

"Hard to say." Hank explained: "Peter Zhou is very cunning. Since he dared to swap the Four-Directional Treasure Tower, he must have made full preparations. There are more than ten large and small secret rooms in this villa alone, so maybe there are secret rooms in this villa that we haven't found yet."

"Good!" Steve nodded and said: "Even if you dig three feet into the ground of the entire Zhou family, you must find the Four-Directional Treasure Tower for me!"

Hank said helplessly: "Digging three feet into the ground is not realistic for the time being. After all, the FBI has warned us that if we do too much, it may cause a lot of trouble. And we have already lost the first opportunity on Peter Zhou. Now the whole US is blaming us. If we dig three feet into the ground of the Zhou family, I am afraid we will be even more passive by then."

Steve nodded and pondered: "Peter Zhou is currently still in the hospital, but I estimate that he will be discharged soon. I estimate that by then, under external pressure, we will not send him back to prison. Once he is released without charge and returns here, maybe he will lead us to find the Four-Directional Treasure Tower himself."

Speaking of this, Steve said indifferently: "Sometimes, we shouldn't catch the mouse that steals food, but should let it go, follow it quietly, find where it hides the food, and then catch them all in one nest!"

As soon as Hank heard this, he immediately gave a thumbs up and said: "Eldest young master, what you said is too right! If we let Peter Zhou go and follow him closely in secret, he will definitely lead us to find the Four-Directional Treasure Tower!"

Steve smiled slightly and said: "I will call my father later and let him arrange to release Peter Zhou without charge to see if Peter Zhou will come back here. If he comes back, then we will win."

At this very moment, Chinatown, Chen's Roast Goose.

Today is not a weekend, nor is it a traditional Chinese festival. However, the entire Chinatown is decorated with lanterns and is very lively.

At the entrance of the roast goose shop, a large group of people are crowded. Several lion dance teams are beating drums and gongs from all directions, lining up to dance at the entrance of the roast goose shop for a while.

Ye Chen was a bit surprised. He didn't know why these people wanted to dance the lion at the entrance of Chen's Roast Goose, so he curiously asked a man nearby: "Brother, why are there so many people dancing the lion at the entrance of Chen's Roast Goose?"

The man said with a smile on his face: "Qiangge, the boss of the roast goose shop, is now the new boss of the entire Chinese Gang! Not only did they drive the Burning Angels out of Chinatown and take over Chinatown again, but more importantly, the new gang leader announced this morning that the Chinese Gang has started to reorganize, and from now on, they will permanently stop collecting protection fees from merchants in Chinatown. This is naturally a great piece of news for those of us who do small business!"

Since the day Chinatown was formed, it has never been able to get rid of the control of gangs. Merchants doing business here have never been able to be exempt from protection fees for a single day, either handed over to local American gangs or to Chinese gangs in Chinatown. Until today, protection fees can be considered to have been clearly stopped by the Chinese Gang.

Ye Chen heard this news and knew that this must be Qiangzai's decision.

Qiangzai is an orphan left by illegal immigrants, and he has seen too much of the humbleness and misery of ordinary merchants living here by following Chen Zhaozhong in Chinatown. Now that he has become the boss of the Chinese Gang, it is a good thing that he wants to make practical changes for his compatriots in Chinatown.

This also made Ye Chen appreciate Qiangzai a little more. After all, not bullying the weak has always been his basic principle of life. If a gang wants to grow bigger, it must look up rather than down. If he only thinks about making money from these small vendors in Chinatown all day long, the Chinese Gang will definitely not have much development in his hands.

Nowadays, Qiangzai can decisively abandon the income brought to the Chinese Gang by the bottom-level people, which shows that he has determined to let the Chinese Gang lock the direction of making money at a higher level.

Having the determination to look up is a good start.

Seeing that the roast goose shop is so lively, Ye Chen didn't squeeze in, but took out his mobile phone, called Chen Zhaozhong, and made an appointment to meet him in a nearby park.

After the two met, they found a vacant bench, and Ye Chen introduced his experience of entering the prison to Chen Zhaozhong.

When Chen Zhaozhong heard the story of the Four-Directional Treasure Tower, he was stunned and asked Ye Chen: "Young master, what is your plan regarding the Four-Directional Treasure Tower?"

Ye Chen said: "For now, I want to safely take the Four-Directional Treasure Tower out of the Zhou family first, and then find a way to transport the Four-Directional Treasure Tower back to China."

Chen Zhaozhong pondered for a moment and said: "Young master, the Rothschild family is definitely monitoring the Zhou family now. I'm afraid it won't be so easy for you to get things from the Zhou family..."

Ye Chen nodded and said: "The Rothschild family cares so much about that Four-Directional Treasure Tower, I'm afraid they have already turned the Zhou family upside down. They certainly won't give up without any gains, and they will definitely watch the entire Zhou family in secret. So I plan to go to the Zhou family later today to test their bottom line."

Chen Zhaozhong asked: "Young master, will approaching the Zhou family rashly alert the enemy?"

Ye Chen said indifferently: "It's okay. I won't go to the Zhou family rashly. I will definitely find out all the people watching in secret before looking for an opportunity. I am sure about this."

As he said, Ye Chen added: "By the way, Uncle Zhong, I plan to find an opportunity to take the Four-Directional Treasure Tower back tonight, and then find a way to transport it back to China. Which channel do you think is the safest?"

Chen Zhaozhong pondered for a moment and said: "Young master, the Rothschild family has great energy in the US. The loss of the Four-Directional Treasure Tower, they only arrested Peter Zhou on the surface, but in fact, I'm afraid they have already laid a net within a hundred kilometers of the Zhou family. I'm afraid it will be very difficult to bring the Four-Directional Treasure Tower out through normal channels, especially entry and exit channels, which must be the focus of their strict defense."

Ye Chen nodded and said: "The Zhou family manor is on the edge of New York. After I get the Four-Directional Treasure Tower, I will drive back to New York first, and then make plans after returning to New York."

Chen Zhaozhong asked: "Why does the young master want to return to New York?"

Ye Chen said: "Since there is a net everywhere, it is better to just return to New York. New York is the base camp of the Rothschild family and the place where the Rothschild family's defense is the strictest, but it is also the place where the Rothschild family has the most loopholes and weaknesses. Only here can we find a suitable breakthrough!"
