Chapter 2937
The moment his divine sense returned to his body, Ye Chen also woke up instantly.
The feeling of his divine sense leaving his body just now felt very long, but in reality, it seemed to be just a snap of a finger.
Ye Chen, who was horrified, didn't have time to think too much, so he took out the wooden box. After confirming that there was nothing else in the secret compartment, he immediately lowered the stone lion back and covered the secret compartment securely.
At this time, there was still a commotion in the Zhou family manor.
Afterwards, he immediately turned back, jumped down from the downstairs, and flipped into the room where Hank and the other two were.
Steve and Royce, the father and son, were dumbfounded.
They didn't think there was anything remarkable about Ye Chen jumping out of the window, but jumping in from the window was really a bit subversive to their worldview.
Ye Chen, who returned to the room, saw the father and son Steve and Royce looking horrified, and said to Hank, "Make them turn around, and you also turn around and keep an eye on them. Whoever dares to look back secretly, just shoot them."
Hank said immediately, "Okay, sir!"
Steve was about to collapse and said timidly, "Mr. Ye... everyone is already a partner, you don't have to be so distrustful of us... I know the thing you brought back must be the Four Directions Treasure Pagoda, but I definitely won't leak a single word to the outside world, you don't have to always let Hank point a gun at our heads..."
Ye Chen asked him, "Are you teaching me how to do things?"
Steve was so scared that his whole body stiffened, and he waved his hand hurriedly, "I wouldn't dare, I wouldn't dare..."
After saying that, he hurriedly turned his face away, not daring to look again.
Ye Chen opened the wooden box and looked at the Four Directions Treasure Pagoda inside. He couldn't help but marvel in his heart, "This pagoda is exactly the same as the one I saw with my divine sense just now. Could it be that my divine sense entered here just now?"
Thinking this way in his heart, Ye Chen reached out and gently lifted the Four Directions Treasure Pagoda out.
This treasure pagoda was made of gold, and it was not as luxurious as those treasure pagodas specifically used to store sarira, but it revealed an indescribable majesty everywhere.
Having had the experience of his divine sense leaving his body, Ye Chen knew that the Four Directions Treasure Pagoda in his hand was no longer just a simple magic weapon. It fused the spiritual energy and heart's blood of countless cultivators, and could protect all living beings and the mountains and rivers. Although it is a Feng Shui treasure that can only achieve its greatest effect when it complements the original Giant Wild Goose Pagoda and even the entire layout of Chang'an City, it is still a rare Feng Shui treasure.
The Rothschild family has been prosperous for two hundred years, which must have an inextricable connection with the Four Directions Treasure Pagoda.
For a moment, Ye Chen also thought about whether to keep this Four Directions Treasure Pagoda by his side. After all, this was refined by many sages with their heart's blood. Maybe he could dig out many deeper cultivation mysteries from it.
But the next second, he dismissed this thought.
The Four Directions Treasure Pagoda was originally created by sages for China, and it is not something that any individual can claim as their own. He must never have this thought.
Thus, he gently put the Four Directions Treasure Pagoda back. As for the photocopy of the "Nine Mysteries Heavenly Sutra" below, he didn't take it out either. After all, now is not a good time to read.
With the items in hand, Ye Chen began to calculate the next plan.
If Howard lets Royce go directly to Canada, he can take the Four Directions Treasure Pagoda out of the United States. Once in Canada, transporting it back to China would naturally be much easier;
After the Four Directions Treasure Pagoda returns to the country, it can be handed over to the Chinese official through the help of Lin Wan'er's adopted son, Sun Zhidong. In that way, his mission can be considered completed.
However, Ye Chen did not intend to leave the United States just like that.
After all, Zhou Liangyun is still receiving treatment in the hospital. What the US government and the Rothschild family will do to him in the future is still an unknown. Ye Chen doesn't want to leave him alone to fend for himself. If possible, he should try his best to get him out of prison, or at least restore his freedom.
Meanwhile.
Hank commanded a group of people to rush into the Zhou family manor and turned the Zhou family manor upside down, but they couldn't find any trace of intruders.
But what puzzled them was that there was a great commotion inside the Zhou family villa just now, and many furniture and decorations were indeed broken, which looked like someone had been there. Otherwise, how could a villa with closed doors and windows suddenly have things falling all over the floor with a clatter?
But the strange thing is here. These things really looked like someone had violently thrown everything on the ground, but not only was there no shadow of a person at the scene, but not even a footprint was found.
And some of Howard's informants immediately fed this back to Howard.
And when Howard heard this news, he was so nervous that he trembled all over.
He immediately called Hank, and when Hank saw his call, he hurriedly looked at Ye Chen and asked for instructions, "Mr. Ye, it's Howard's call. Should I answer it?"
Ye Chen nodded, "Answer it. He probably wants to ask about the details of your action just now. You tell him that you did hear the movement inside, but you didn't catch anyone. If he asks about the power outage, you exaggerate it and remind him in an obscure way that there might be a mole inside the Rothschild family."
Hank said without hesitation, "Okay, Mr. Ye, I'll tell him!"
Immediately, he connected the call and said respectfully, "Hello, sir! I was just about to report to you. Just now, we found a great commotion in the Zhou family manor. I was afraid that someone had entered through a secret passage we didn't know about, so I didn't have time to ask for your instructions and immediately arranged for my men to rush in. Please forgive me..."
Howard gave a hum and said, "You did this very well. At a critical moment, you acted on your intuition, and you don't need to ask for my opinion."
As he spoke, Howard asked tentatively, "How is the situation at the scene? Did you catch anyone?"
Hank said, "Not yet. Almost all of our people went in, but no valuable clues were found."
Howard asked with great worry, "There are signs of people entering, but no clues can be found. If this happens, it is highly likely that someone has sneaked into the Zhou family through a secret passage we don't know about, and then quietly left the Zhou family..."
Speaking of this, Howard asked again, "By the way, Hank, I heard that you had a sudden power outage there tonight?"
"Yes." Hank explained, "Both power circuits were damaged tonight, and the maintenance difficulty is very high. It is estimated that there will be no power until noon."
Howard's mood was even heavier, and he said uneasily, "The power outage shouldn't be accidental, right?"
"Definitely not." Hank didn't leave Howard any chance of luck and said with a serious tone, "Sir, I think all our actions are under the other party's monitoring. The other party knew long ago that we were secretly monitoring here, and even knew that we had set up a large number of monitoring equipment here, so they destroyed the power supply lines and let all our monitoring equipment fall into paralysis."
Howard's heart sank, and he asked, "Is our confidentiality work not done well? Or has someone inside leaked the news?"
Hank said, "Both are possible, but the latter is more likely."
Howard asked him, "If someone leaked the news, who do you think did it?"
Hank said, "I dare not talk nonsense about this now. I need to investigate before I can judge."
Howard asked again, "Then do you think the person who sneaked into the Zhou family tonight came to take the Four Directions Treasure Pagoda?"
"It must be." Hank said firmly, "The other party took such a big risk, and there is only one possibility, which is to take the Four Directions Treasure Pagoda."
Howard's heart sank to the bottom.
He muttered, "If this is really the case, it means that the other party must have already taken the Four Directions Treasure Pagoda away..."
After saying that, he roared at the butler beside him, "Immediately notify everyone and all departments to strictly blockade all entrances and exits in New York and surrounding areas. At the same time, start searching within the blockade area. Spare no cost to find the Four Directions Treasure Pagoda!"
Just then, someone beside Howard suddenly said, "Sir, we just received news from Canada that the Nordic Queen Helena is visiting Canada early."
Howard frowned, "Early? What time?"
"Today. It is said that the special plane will take off in about two or three hours. The first stop is Ottawa, and then nearby Montreal."
Howard asked curiously, "Why did the itinerary change suddenly?"
That person said, "It is said that the Queen has some minor problems with her health and has an appointment for treatment next week, so she had to move it up."
Howard gave a hum, "Okay, I know."
Hank on the other side of the phone seized the opportunity and asked hurriedly, "Sir, what should I do next?"
Howard gritted his teeth and said, "Even if you have to dig three feet into the ground, you must find the secret passage they used to enter and exit for me!"
After saying that, he added, "By the way, tell Steve that Helena is about to set off for Canada. Tell him to arrange for Royce to hurry up and prepare. I will also arrange for people to rush over to help with the docking. Our reputation has plummeted recently, so we must seize this opportunity to build a good relationship with the Nordic royal family. Maybe it will be of great use in the future!"
Hank said hurriedly, "Okay, sir, I'll tell the eldest young master right away!"
Howard said coldly, "Hank, this time they entered and exited the Zhou family manor right under your nose as if there was no one there! I will definitely hold you accountable for this matter! Before I have decided how to punish you, you had better make up for your crimes with meritorious service and find some useful clues for me. Otherwise, I will not spare you! Do you understand?!"
Hank blurted out, "I understand, sir. Please rest assured, I will do my best!"
Howard hung up the phone immediately.
Hank said respectfully to Ye Chen, "Mr. Ye, Howard asked me to tell the eldest young master to have the young master prepare to go to Canada!"
Ye Chen nodded, "I heard it all."
As he spoke, Ye Chen looked at Steve and Royce, the father and son, and said, "You two, turn around and talk."
The two hurriedly turned around and looked at Ye Chen respectfully, waiting for his next words.
Ye Chen said at this time, "Royce, I will take the helicopter to Canada with you in a while. Is your pilot trustworthy?"
"Absolutely trustworthy!" Steve said hurriedly, "My pilot is my direct subordinate!"
"Good." Ye Chen nodded and said to him, "After we set off in a while, you stay here and wait for further instructions from your old man."
Steve agreed without hesitation.
He only hoped that Ye Chen would take the Four Directions Treasure Pagoda out of the United States as soon as possible. Once this thing left the United States, his threat would be gone.
What he cared about was only the position of heir. As for this Four Directions Treasure Pagoda, in his eyes, there was nothing to be nostalgic about. If it was lost, it was lost. As for whether the loss of this thing would affect the Rothschild family's century-old fortune, he didn't take it to heart at all. In his view, the Rothschild family has plenty of money. As long as he can succeed to the throne, it doesn't matter even if it is discounted by fifty percent.
Ye Chen and Royce left New York by helicopter before dawn.
Because of Howard's special approval, this helicopter did not face any inspection.
Even, no one asked about entering Canada.
Crossing the border between the two countries by helicopter in a grand manner, although the bilateral relationship between the United States and Canada is not as open as the EU countries completely opening their borders, after all, there is a kind of master-servant relationship that everyone understands, so the entry and exit management of both sides is very lax. Coupled with the fact that the Rothschild family also has great influence in Canada, Canada also turned a blind eye to their helicopter crossing the border.
The moment the helicopter successfully passed the US-Canada border, Ye Chen could be considered to have breathed a sigh of relief. He sent a message to Chen Zhaozhong, asking him to hurry up and buy the earliest flight to Montreal.
Although these two cities are very close, flights are very frequent, starting from six o'clock in the morning, with a frequency of two or three flights per hour until 9:30 at night.
Seeing Ye Chen's message asking him to go to Montreal, Chen Zhaozhong knew that he must have successfully left the United States, so he hurriedly booked the earliest flight and waited to rush to the airport.
Immediately after, Ye Chen contacted Wan Pojun, asking him to urgently mobilize several agents of the Wanlong Palace stationed here in Canada and let them wait for his dispatch in Montreal.
Afterwards, he contacted Ito Nanako, who was far away in China, and asked Ito Nanako to help charter an ocean-going business jet from Montreal in the name of the Ito family. The business jet would fly directly from Montreal to Jin Ling.
After arranging these, the helicopter he was on also arrived in the southern suburbs of Ottawa, the capital of Canada.
For the sake of safety, he did not let the helicopter land in Montreal. After all, although this helicopter does not need border inspection or entry registration, it has always been on the radar screen of Canadian air traffic control from the moment it entered Canada. The altitude and speed of the helicopter are clear at a glance on the radar. If it lands in the middle, it will inevitably leave a record. Once the Rothschild family checks this line, they will inevitably notice the abnormality.
Therefore, when the helicopter was still dozens of kilometers away from Ottawa, Ye Chen jumped down over the farmland area in the south of Ottawa.
Royce Rothschild watched Ye Chen jump down from a hundred meters high, and his whole person was numb, but when Ye Chen, who had become the size of a sesame seed, landed and started running wildly, he began to doubt life.
And after Ye Chen landed, while running wildly, he took out his mobile phone and called Lin Wan'er, who was far away in China.
It was late at night in China at this time.
However, Lin Wan'er did not return to her room to sleep, but was in the courtyard, by the hot spring pool, guarding the delicate branches and leaves of the Mother of Pu Tea and drinking tea.
Drinking tea here and taking care of the Mother of Pu Tea made her think of Ye Chen with her whole mind.
Just then, she suddenly received Ye Chen's call. Her pretty face immediately flushed with two blushes, and then she shyly connected the call, asking him shyly and with excitement, "Where is Young Master Ye calling me from?"
