Chapter: 6021
Leaf speculated that these people must be the Rossheld family's henchmen, waiting for any unexpected event to occur, ready to rush to support at a moment's notice.
Moreover, their SUVs have excellent performance and weight, making them suitable for intercepting purposes. Even ordinary cars would not dare challenge them head-on.
Leaf couldn't help but think that this group of people had already started laying out a trap about a kilometer away from Zhou's estate, and if they got any closer, he wouldn't know how many more people were secretly watching him.
It seemed to Leaf that it was impossible for him to get the four treasures without revealing himself, let alone leave with them undetected.
Just then, several middle-aged men in plainclothes walked into the coffee shop, Leaf casually glanced at a few of them, and discovered that they had trained expressions, body postures, and fine motor control, all reminiscent of professionals.
The group chose a table by the window and ordered a few cups of coffee from the service staff. One of them gazed out the window at the motel, muttering to himself in a low voice: "We'd better not have any trouble with Rossheld's people. If they start causing another big scandal, our reputation will be ruined."
Another person nodded and spoke in a hushed tone: "As it stands now, we're supposed to keep an eye on them here temporarily. If they do anything out of the ordinary, we'll immediately intervene, but the top brass also warns us not to get too close. Rossheld's people are currently very sensitive, and if we get too close to Zhou's estate, they'll start causing trouble."
The previous person let out a helpless sigh: "They don't even bother with the FBI, so it's pointless for us to keep an eye on them either. Look at their personnel and equipment setup - they're way stronger than us. They really mean business, and we can't stop them."
As he spoke, he leaned in and whispered: "I heard from the equipment department that Rossheld family brought over several top-of-the-line thermal imaging devices, capable of detecting whether a mouse is male or female even at hundreds of meters away. I wonder what they're planning to do."
The colleague across from them smiled slightly and said: "We can't stop it, after all. If the Rossheld family has made up their minds to do something, no one can stop them. The White House doesn't have a say in this either. We just need to pretend like we're blocking them and consider our job done when the situation gets out of hand. Then, if things really get chaotic, we can explain that we did try to block them, but they didn't care about us at all."
The third person suddenly spoke up: "Did you guys see a helicopter go by in the afternoon?"
"Yes, we saw it," both others nodded, with one of them asking: "Is there anything special about that helicopter? The Rossheld family has arranged for dozens of helicopters to be stationed around here."
The third person pretended to be mysterious and said: "Those helicopters are all just hiding nearby, none of them have entered a one-mile radius around the Zhou estate. But the one in the afternoon was an exception. You guys know who was on that helicopter?"
Both others asked eagerly: "Who was it?"
The third person spoke softly: "I don't have concrete information, but I'm sure that it's a member of the Rossheld family."
"Really?" both others looked astonished, with one of them exclaiming: "A direct relative of the Rossheld family has come? What are they doing here?"
The person said: "I don't know what they're doing specifically, but from the Rossheld's actions, it's clear that this Zhou estate is very important to them. Yesterday, our chief went up to meet with someone, and I overheard him talking to his deputy about how the entire Rossheld family has mobilized almost all their forces, putting the entire New York area and a two-hundred-mile radius under lockdown!"
"Lockdown?" one of them asked: "I haven't heard anything about it."
The person explained: "This is an unofficial lockdown. The police are involved, blocking all land traffic. Any vehicles leaving the designated area must undergo inspections. They're using the excuse that they're cracking down on drugs, claiming that according to intel, there's a large amount of drugs entering New York."
"By the way, all departing flights require passengers to undergo two security checks, and goods already stored in warehouses also need to be re-checked. If not, they can't take off. This is being done secretly; nobody knows about it outside;"
"Besides, all cargo ships are completely banned from leaving port, with customs officials conducting a thorough inspection one by one. Customs' excuse for this is that there's a batch of nuclear materials that can be used as weapons and needs to be taken out of New York and handed over to terrorists. Actually, this is just the Rothschild family's scheme, which is ridiculous! Who in their right mind would sell nuclear materials from New York? There's no nuclear material in New York, it's all just the Rothschild family's trick!"
As he was speaking, the person added: "Oh, and by the way, even helicopters can't leave New York anymore. The entire city has been surrounded like a steel drum!""
"You're getting this from someone?" one of them asked with some doubt: "This is such a big commotion, how come I haven't heard anything?"
The person explained: "It's just started today, and currently, there are core members of the Rothschild family monitoring every aspect - land, sea, and air. A bunch of high-ups who have gone mad, rushing around without knowing what they're doing."
Another person let out a sigh: "I'm tired of dealing with them, I only know that I'll have to stay up all night tonight. These hard days don't know when they'll end." JrNovels.com
