Chapter 3706: Casting a Long Line to Catch a Big Fish

Cheng Yan Ni said goodbye to Rachel and turned to leave the dormitory of the four.

As she left, she didn't even glance at the other three kneeling on one knee.

After the four respectfully saw Cheng Yan Ni off, the other three immediately and unanimously approached Rachel, knelt on one knee again with utmost respect, and one of the girls said respectfully: "Congratulations, Miss Gaté, on your meritorious service; in the future, we hope Miss Gaté will continue to support us!"

Although they were all scholars, after Rachel and Robert Rothschild became a couple, the other three immediately became her entourage, her green leaves at Stanford.

Before, they had secretly felt dissatisfied, but now they realized the vast difference between them.

Probably no female scholar would ever receive such treatment as Rachel; they were no longer on the same level, so envy and jealousy vanished, replaced only by admiration.

Rachel understood this as well, so she told the three: "Get up; as long as you cooperate well with me, I will certainly help you and your families gain more benefits in the future."

The three were instantly overjoyed and thanked her in unison.

Rachel felt excited and wanted to tell her mother the good news right away, so she said to the three: "I'm going back to my room to make a call; please don't disturb me."

The three immediately nodded respectfully and watched Rachel return to her room.

Rachel returned to her room and immediately called her mother; on the phone, she told her mother about receiving the commendation, obtaining the Dragon-patterned Copper Token, and the six-month antidote; her mother remained silent for a long time, but Rachel could hear her sobbing.

Our lineage has struggled for hundreds of years, and today we have finally risen.

Because the Gaté family does not know the mother and daughter's background, and Mother dare not be too emotional, she can only hide in her room, softly sobbing as she tells Rachel: "Rachel, you must persevere; if you can marry Robert according to this trend, your children may never have to be scholars again!"

The Broken Clear Society wants to infiltrate top families, not to turn their descendants into scholars; mixed-blood descendants can never truly be relied upon by the family, and they understand this better than anyone.

Therefore, Rachel being able to marry in as an undercover agent is sufficient.

If they rashly turned Rachel's child into a scholar, once the Rothschild family noticed, not only would the child be abandoned, but Rachel would also be eliminated immediately; don't think the Rothschild family lacks the Broken Clear Society's strength, but their methods are no less harsh, otherwise they could not have stood firm until now.

Mother is obsessed with ending the scholar's fate; she believes that if our lineage reaches Rachel and no longer needs to be scholars, then our DNA can be safely passed on, and no one will suffer under the Broken Clear Society's threats anymore—this is the liberation of the bloodline.

But Rachel understands in her heart that Mr. Chen, that is, Ye Chen, not only has the ability to let her descendants stop being scholars, but even the ability to let her and her mother stop being scholars.

She now very much wants to send this message to Ye Chen as well, but Ye Chen did not leave her a direct contact method; instead, Steve Rothschild and she exchanged contact information, so after hanging up with her mother, she immediately called Steve.

At this moment, Steve is staying briefly at Harvard.

He originally intended to accompany Ye Chen and Lin Wan'er, but in fact Ye Chen and Lin Wan'er do not need his company; these days at Harvard, they are mostly acting alone and rarely see him, yet even so, Steve is unwilling to leave, because in his eyes, Ye Chen is like reborn parents, and serving him well is the most important thing.

Upon receiving Rachel's call, Steve was initially surprised; when the call connected, Rachel's first words were: "Respected Mr. Rothschild, hello, I am Rachel Gaté; it is presumptuous of me to call you, and I wish to thank you in person. The information you revealed to me at the dinner table helped my family earn a considerable profit; thank you immensely!"

Rachel said this precisely to subtly convey the situation to Steve Rothschild, knowing he would surely pass the message to Ye Cheng, thus achieving her goal of reporting to Ye Chen.

Steve, being a shrewd person, upon receiving this call, immediately smiled and said: "Rachel, you are my future niece-in-law, a member of the Rothschild family; such a small matter does not require such formality; rest assured, if similar opportunities arise in the future, I will also keep you informed accordingly."

Rachel said with tears of gratitude: "Thank you so much, Mr. Rothschild."

At this time, the Left Army Governor's Office was monitoring Rachel's phone call.

Upon hearing that she could actually speak directly with Steve and receive such affirmation from him, Wu Yongzhen was greatly shocked and excited.

A small piece of news earned him several billion US dollars, and he still dared not disturb the main forces, acting with extreme restraint and self-control in this profit.

Since Steve values Rachel so highly, if another opportunity arises in the future, he can slightly relax his restraint to seek greater benefits.

Rachel also clearly knows that the Left Army Governor's Office will certainly monitor her; she suddenly had a flash of inspiration, thinking that since she now possesses the Dragon-patterned Copper Token allowing unimpeded passage, why not seize an opportunity to meet Ye Chen again?

Thinking this, she immediately said respectfully to Steve: "Mr. Rothschild, I hope to have the opportunity in the future to thank you in person."

Steve also understood the implication in her words and said with a smile: "I am currently at Harvard University, and these days I have nothing much to do; why don't I invite you and Robert to come over and play for a few days?"

Rachel exclaimed in delight: "Mr. Rothschild, is this... really possible?"

Steve said with a smile: "It's a small matter; I'll call Robert to arrange the schedule, and I also very much want to have more contact with him, to make him one of my own."

Rachel said excitedly: "Thank you, Mr. Rothschild; then I will wait for Robert's news!"

Steve hung up the phone and immediately called Ye Chen, reporting the situation to him in full.

Ye Chen instantly realized that Rachel Gaté likely wanted to meet him in person.

At the same time, he also realized that this wave of events would certainly greatly enhance Rachel's weight and credibility in the eyes of the Left Army Governor's Office.

He suddenly thought of a wicked idea.

Some casinos and gamblers, when fishing for big fish, will first take out some money to deliberately lose to the opponent, to cultivate the opponent's gambling nature; this tactic is called "casting a long line to catch a big fish"—first giving up a little benefit as bait, waiting until the opponent takes the hook, then using various means to ruthlessly harvest the opponent; although the method is simple, countless people from ancient times to the present have been ruined by it.

Wu Yongzhen has already tasted a bit of sweetness; if he can continue to taste sweetness afterward, his gambling nature will certainly be aroused by him.

If we can seize the opportunity, viciously eat him one wave, let him return overnight to before liberation, this matter will certainly become even more interesting afterward!
