Chapter: 5935
Chen Zhongjue looked at the old antique shop next door, found that although the sign saying it was closed was still hanging outside, someone was actually inside moving around, so he walked forward to knock on the door and chat for a few minutes.
After chatting, he turned around and said to Lei Chen, "Let's head back to the car, young master."
Lei Chen realized that Chen Zhongjue might have picked up some sensitive clues, so he followed him back to the car together.
Once they were in the car, Chen Zhongjue only then said, "Young master, I just asked next door and the shop owner told me that Peter Zhou was caught here four months ago. That's why this store has been closed."
"Caught?" Lei Chen curiously asked. "Why was he caught?"
Chen Zhongjue said, "They say it's because of fraud, but the shop owner next door says his situation is very special and different from general fraud cases. When they caught him, it was FBI agents who did it, and it was a big commotion."
"FBI......"
Lei Chen muttered to himself and asked him, "Uncle Zhongjue, shouldn't cases of fraud be handled by the police instead?"
Chen Zhongjue said, "Not necessarily. If it's a serious case that endangers national security and involves important people or objects, the FBI might take charge. Since Peter Zhou was caught by the FBI, it proves that the situation must be quite severe."
Lei Chen asked, "Does the shop owner next door know about Peter Zhou's current situation?"
Chen Zhongjue shook his head and said, "That person isn't very clear either. He only knows that the antique stores in the Zhou family in the US have been closed, as for what's happening to him now, he hasn't received any information."
As he spoke, Chen Zhongjue sighed helplessly and said, "I've spent most of these years stuck in Chinatown in New York, rarely venturing out, and don't recognize anyone. I'm struggling to find a reliable channel for getting information."
Lei Chen pursed his lips and said, "It's okay, the things happening in New York should be fine if we ask Miss Qi to look into it. Her connections and channels are definitely more resourceful than ours."
After saying that, he took out his phone and dialed Miss Qi.
The phone rang for 7-8 rings before being answered. As soon as she picked up, Miss Qi asked, "Old Bai, how's the situation in Atlanta?"
Lei Chen realized that Miss Qi might be busy talking to her husband, Shuo Runxian, right now.
So he asked, "Miss Qi, if it's inconvenient for you, we can chat later."
"Lei Chen said, 'I'm currently working on a project in New York and will be back in five minutes. Please wait.'"
"Okay." Lei Chen replied with one voice and hung up the phone.
Five minutes later, Fei Ke Xin's phone rang right on time, and after one ring, she politely said, "Mr. Ye, I just finished meeting with your esteemed wife together, afraid she might misunderstand, so I didn't dare to speak directly with you, please excuse me."
Lei Chen smiled and said, "No problem, by the way, how's everything been going lately at your place?"
Fei Ke Xin said, "Mrs. Ye has been busy with project-related matters for the past few days because she wasn't sure how long I needed to hold her back, so I just pretended to do something and delegated all responsibilities to her, which might be a bit tiring but Mrs. Ye is still very invested."
Lei Chen smiled and said, "My wife's business sense is still very strong, even stronger than mine."
Fei Ke Xin micro-smiled and said, "Mr. Ye's business sense must also be very strong, otherwise I wouldn't have invited your wife to New York."
As she was saying that, Fei Ke Xin quickly asked again, "Oh, Mr. Ye, do you have something to ask me about?" JrNovels.com
