Chapter 2950

After setting the plan, Ye Chen took off the doctor's clothes and returned to the ward where Hank was.

Next, what he had to do was wait patiently for the judge to rush to the hospital with complete legal documents and announce Peter Zhou's acquittal on the spot.

At the moment, the Four Directions Treasure Pavilion was about to return to China. As long as Peter Zhou was taken away safely and Chen Zhimin and Earl Zhongyong were killed by the way, Ye Chen's trip to the United States could be considered a complete success.

To be foolproof, Ye Chen specifically asked Chen Zhimin to rent a business jet that could fly directly to China in his own name, and let the business jet apply for a flight route directly to Yanjing and stand by at New York JFK Airport at any time.

Late at night.

After sorting out all the documents, the New York judge personally brought the documents, along with several court staff and Brooklyn prison staff, to Manhattan Hospital together.

The elderly judge did not have to be so hurried. It would also be in line with American judicial procedures to wait until tomorrow to open the court normally and announce Peter Zhou's acquittal.

But this time, the reputation of the Rothschild family was too greatly affected, and the power supply of the Zhou family manor was cut off in a muddle, which made Howard very worried that the Four Directions Treasure Pavilion had been taken out of the Zhou family manor by someone, so he also urgently hoped to release Peter Zhou quickly and then keep a close eye on Peter Zhou's every move. He felt that perhaps he could find the Four Directions Treasure Pavilion back in this way.

So, the judge rushed over.

Ye Chen monitored every move in Peter Zhou's ward in the ward, relying on his excellent hearing.

And Earl Zhongyong in the opposite ward seemed to have slightly inferior senses, so he chose to release a little spiritual energy to perceive.

The judge walked into the ward with the staff, and in the presence of the FBI and the staff, said to Peter Zhou, "Peter Zhou, the Rothschild family admits that the case of you stealing antiques before was a misunderstanding. After urgent discussion by the court, it was decided to withdraw the prosecution against you. From now on, you are free."

Earl Zhongyong, who was monitoring the ward with spiritual energy, couldn't help but secretly think: "Chen Zhimin's intelligence is really accurate. The one surnamed Zhou is really going to be acquitted!"

And at this time, Peter Zhou on the hospital bed was also shocked.

He did not expect that the Rothschild family would turn back so quickly.

Since meeting Ye Chen a few days ago, Peter Zhou had not received any news from Ye Chen, and he did not know whether Ye Chen had taken the Four Directions Treasure Pavilion out of the United States. Now that the judge suddenly wanted to acquit him, his first thought was to find a way to contact Ye Chen.

However, in the next second, he felt that he must not take the initiative to contact Ye Chen. The Rothschild family releasing him now looked very much like those hunters digging wild beehives in the mountains and forests. They would tie a feather on the wasp and then release the wasp back to the nest, so as to find the location of the hive.

He believed that the Rothschild family should also have such a plan now.

Seeing that he did not speak, the judge said, "Also, Mr. Zhou, your treatment expenses here will all be borne by the Rothschild family. If you need to continue treatment, all expenses will also be covered by them;"

"And regarding the personal injury, physical and mental damage you suffered during your imprisonment, the Rothschild family has offered a settlement intention of 30 million US dollars. If you agree, they will arrange for lawyers to come and dock with you for compensation. If you are not satisfied with this amount, you can also sue the court at any time."

The American judicial system has many differences from the East, especially China.

Among them, the biggest difference may lie in the issue of compensation.

In China, the definition of compensation is often based on per capita income as a reference, so it is often not very high. However, in the United States, once the nature and impact are bad, the compensation may be sky-high.

A few years ago, an American airline beat an Asian-American doctor on a plane and dragged him off the plane. That incident was exposed on the Internet and caused a great negative impact. In the end, the two sides reached a settlement. The amount was not clearly disclosed to the outside world, but information fed back from many channels suggested that the compensation was likely 140 million US dollars.

This kind of compensation is unimaginable in China, but it is not uncommon in the United States.

Since the Rothschild family chose to admit their bad luck and reluctantly admit that it was their fault, then according to the conventions of American society, Peter Zhou could immediately claim huge compensation from them.

Moreover, with the influence of this incident, as long as the lawyer is professional enough, it would not be a problem to let the Rothschild family pay 300 million US dollars.

However, Peter Zhou said very plainly at this time, "Compensation is not necessary. Please tell the Rothschild family's lawyer to prepare an unconditional settlement agreement, and I am willing to sign it."

The judge was stunned and couldn't help saying, "Mr. Zhou, are you sure you want an unconditional settlement? Although my identity is not suitable for saying too much, the case has developed to this point, and the people of the whole United States are paying attention to you. If you don't want compensation, this... is somewhat inappropriate..."

Since the Rothschild family chose to acquit Peter Zhou, they should give Peter Zhou reasonable compensation for emotional and rational reasons, so that the people paying attention to this matter can feel satisfied, and thus be satisfied to move their eyes away.

However, if Peter Zhou did not get compensation, whether the Rothschild family did not give it or he did not want it, this matter would make the people paying attention feel like a fishbone in their throat, and they would never be able to let go.

The judge had a close relationship with the Rothschild family, so he naturally did not want this matter to leave a tail at the end. As long as the two sides could reach a settlement with a result that the public was satisfied with, this matter would slowly fade out of the public's vision, and in the end, no one would remember it again.

So, he persuaded Peter Zhou: "Mr. Zhou, I know that your family is also a wealthy family and doesn't care much about money, but I still hope you will consider this matter carefully. You were wronged and tortured, and you should get compensation. The Rothschild family substantially harmed you, and they should indeed give enough compensation and pay a painful price for this."

Peter Zhou shook his head gently and smiled, "Compensation is really not necessary. If I take their money, and it is a lot of money, everyone's mentality of looking at this matter will change greatly. Everyone will change from sympathizing with me at the beginning and being willing to speak up for me, to gradually changing, and finally evolving into envying me, jealous of me, and even wanting to replace me and become me;"

"In this process, the perpetrator in their eyes will gradually no longer be the perpetrator, but become a giver of sky-high wealth. This is contrary to everything I hope for, and I cannot accept it!"

The judge asked in surprise, "Mr. Zhou, what exactly do you hope for?"

Peter Zhou raised his volume and said seriously, "What I hope for is that everyone can always remember this matter, remember that the Rothschild family is a trampler of American law, remember that they use public power for private purposes, firmly control the entire prison in their own hands, and remember that they abuse lynching to torture others to achieve their own goals;"

Speaking of this, Peter Zhou said with some excitement, "I hope even more that people can remember, remember their ancestors, who once used extremely dishonorable means to plunder a large amount of wealth from the East, from China, and caused countless tragic casualties. I hope people will always remember that the sins of their ancestors are too numerous to be recorded!"

"So, I can't want their money, and I don't want it even more!"

The judge was in a dilemma for a while. If Peter Zhou really didn't want a penny, then his refusal of compensation would surely trigger public discussion again. And when the public discussed this matter, they would think that it must be because the Rothschild family brought him too much harm that he completely ignored the temptation of high money and resolutely did not want a penny from the Rothschild family.

In that case, the Rothschild family would be even more passive in public opinion.

And at this time, the prison staff who had not spoken on the side hurriedly stepped forward and said respectfully, "Hello Mr. Zhou, I am Brian White, Deputy Warden of Brooklyn Prison. On behalf of Brooklyn Prison, I express my sincerest apologies for all the unfair treatment you suffered in Brooklyn Prison. I want to say that if you need it, we will also pay compensation for the unfair treatment you received..."

Peter Zhou said: "Don't worry, after this matter passes, I will not propose compensation to any party, whether it is the Rothschild family, Brooklyn Prison, or the entire American judicial system."

As he spoke, he asked Brian: "Since I have been announced to be acquitted, can my personal items be returned to me?"

"Yes, yes, yes, of course!"

Brian nodded repeatedly without thinking, then took out a prison-specific storage bag from the briefcase he was carrying, which also had a seal and Peter Zhou's personal information.

He handed the storage bag to Peter Zhou and said, "Mr. Zhou, your personal items are all here. Please count them to see if there are any omissions."

Peter Zhou opened the storage bag and rummaged through it roughly. What he cared about was mainly his mobile phone, and the other things didn't matter.

Immediately after, he tried to turn on his mobile phone. After long-pressing the power button, the mobile phone entered the startup page.

Peter Zhou looked up at the judge and Brian and asked, "Has anyone read the information on my mobile phone?"

"How could it be?" Brian hurriedly said, "These things have been sealed in Brooklyn Prison since you were arrested. We have never opened them, so how could we read your mobile phone information."

As he spoke, Brian pointed to the seal on it and said, "Look at the information on the seal, it was pasted on the day you were sent to Brooklyn Prison."

Peter Zhou said faintly, "Seals can be faked. You yourself are in collusion with the Rothschild family. Even the entire prison can be left to them to dispose of, let alone my mobile phone."

"My mobile phone was automatically shut down because it was out of power before I was arrested, but now it can not only be turned on, but also has 70% power, which proves that someone has connected this mobile phone with a data cable;"

"Since you sealed my personal items in this storage bag after receiving them, who was so thoughtful to help me charge my mobile phone?"

Brian was speechless for a while.

In fact, he knew very well that let alone Peter Zhou's mobile phone, even Peter Zhou's house had been turned over by people from the Rothschild family I don't know how many times. The mobile phone was naturally an important clue they would not let go of.

In fact, this mobile phone had long been cracked by hackers of the Rothschild family, and all the data information inside had been copied.

However, when Peter Zhou dropped the Four Directions Treasure Pavilion, he guessed that the mobile phone must be the key investigation object of the other party, so he was well prepared and deleted all valuable clues.

The mobile phone being out of power was also what he did on purpose, in order to verify whether the other party would check his mobile phone, and whether the other party's actions were as meticulous as his own.

At the moment, the mobile phone had 70% power after being turned on, which showed that the other party's work was not as careful as his own. If it were him doing this, since the mobile phone was out of power, he must let the mobile phone run out of all power and automatically shut down after copying the data.

Therefore, it was also at this moment that Peter Zhou completely felt relieved in his heart.

Seeing the negligent side of the Rothschild family made him firmly believe that Ye Chen must have a way to take the Four Directions Treasure Pavilion out of New York under the strict guard of the Rothschild family.

Perhaps, it is already on its way back to China!

At this time, the judge on the side was also embarrassed and hurriedly promised: "Mr. Zhou, please rest assured, I will reflect this matter to the New York police and let them thoroughly investigate this matter to see who used your mobile phone."

Peter Zhou smiled slightly and said generously, "Forget it, judge, I won't pursue this matter."

The judge and Brian both breathed a sigh of relief. If this matter spread, it would be another scandal of the judicial department. If it triggered a chain reaction again, the consequences would really be a bit unbearable.

So the judge hurriedly handed the document to Peter Zhou and said, "Mr. Zhou, if you have no objection to the acquittal, please sign on this. After signing, the document will take effect immediately, and you will be a free person."

Peter Zhou nodded, picked up the pen, and signed his name at the end.

The judge put away the documents and asked, "Since Mr. Zhou has restored his freedom, what are your plans next? Will you stay here to continue treatment, or leave here to go elsewhere?"

Peter Zhou hesitated for a while.

He knew that if he left here, he would inevitably be targeted by the Rothschild family.

However, his injuries had long been cured by Ye Chen, and continuing to stay here had no meaning. He couldn't stay in the hospital for a lifetime just because he was afraid of revenge.

And at this time, the person in charge of the FBI said: "Since Mr. Zhou has been acquitted, our work has come to an end. Our people will withdraw one after another in ten minutes."

The FBI guarding here was not really to protect Peter Zhou.

Before this, Peter Zhou was a prisoner with a sensitive identity who was seeking medical treatment outside. The FBI really dared not let him have any more mistakes, otherwise, the entire American judicial system would lose face.

But now the situation is different. Peter Zhou has restored his freedom, so the FBI naturally has no need to continue to protect him. If his personal safety has any problems in the future, the pressure will naturally be given to the New York police or other local police, which is naturally irrelevant to the FBI.

Peter Zhou naturally knew that the FBI would not protect him all the time, but he had long put life and death aside. Since he had restored his freedom, he thought about it and decided to buy the earliest flight to leave the United States and return to China.

Since the Rothschild family had already decided to release him, it was impossible for them to stop him from leaving the United States again. Anyway, he would set off empty-handed, as long as he could let them determine that he had not taken the Four Directions Treasure Pavilion away.

Just at this time, his mobile phone suddenly received a message from a strange number. The content of the message was: Uncle Zhou, after the FBI leaves, go directly to the roof of the hospital, and I will send you back to China."
