Chapter: 6030
Leaf Chen spoke indifferently: "You go ahead and say what you want."
Steve hurriedly said: "After bringing the Four-sided Treasure back to China, please don't reveal our conversation tonight..."
Leaf Chen pretended to suddenly understand and laughed: "Oh, I see! You're afraid your father will take you to task!"
"Is that so?" Steve smiled apologetically and said, "I'll help you bring the Four-sided Treasure back to China. You help me keep this secret, and everyone will be happy. How do you feel about it?"
Leaf Chen smiled slightly and said, "If your father knew you were helping someone else move the Four-sided Treasure out of America for your own benefit, he would definitely be furious!"
"Not just furious..." Steve sighed, "I'm afraid he'll want my life! You don't know how much he values the Four-sided Treasure. In his eyes, there's nothing more important than it in the world... except maybe his own life."
Leaf Chen nodded slightly and said, "Since that's the case, let's talk about cooperation then."
Steve hastened to say, "Sir, please speak! As long as it's within my capabilities, I'll definitely give it my all!"
Leaf Chen said, "I can spare your life and your son's. But you two need to figure out a way to get me and the Four-sided Treasure out of America together. As repayment, I'll bring the Four-sided Treasure back to China and return it to the Chinese government in good condition. That way, you can continue to be carefree as the first successor."
Steve said without hesitation, "Sir, your cooperation plan is definitely fine with me... but I'm worried that we won't be able to get out of here within a short time frame. Now the whole family is trying their best to turn New York into a steel drum, and if my helicopter can't take off tonight, I can only wait for another opportunity."
Just then, the sound of the helicopter grew louder from a distance. Leaf Chen's eyes lit up as he opened his mouth to say, "Your son has returned."
Steve muttered unconsciously, "I hope they didn't get into trouble!"
A few minutes later, Hank and Royce came back together with Leaf Chen in the room.
As they entered, Steve quickly asked, "What's going on? Is someone blocking you?"
"…yes," Royce said with a scowl: "The national security agency has locked onto the airspace within the restricted area. We were just approaching the edge of the restricted zone when they warned us via radio that the airspace is currently prohibited due to national security issues and is requiring all non-government helicopters to land for inspection at designated areas. I reported our identity, and they confirmed it without any further demands for us to land. Instead, they asked us to move away from the edge of the restricted zone."
Hank chimed in: "This level of control hasn't been seen since 9/11."
Leaf Chen heard this and couldn't help but be impressed by the power of the Rockefeller family.
They were normally low-key and rarely appeared in media reports. Although there were many rumors about them on the market, they never stood out to deny or confirm anything. Few people knew their true strength was that great. But today, Leaf Chen had finally seen it for himself.
The Rockefeller family was so powerful that they could use multiple government departments at will, making them serve themselves. The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Treasury Department, and even the National Security Agency (NSA) - all these agencies were somehow able to work together seamlessly in this matter, quietly sealing off the entire New York area and surrounding regions.
Moreover, each department had its own reasons and explanations. Everyone worked together to seal off land, sea, and air routes, thoroughly inspecting every person and mode of transportation. This was enough to show that the Rockefeller family was an unstoppable presence in America.
This left Leaf Chen momentarily hesitant.
He naturally wanted to get out of the United States as soon as possible, but it wasn't easy. Even with his skills, he couldn't just teleport away. He would have to take a plane, ship, or car to Canada or Mexico. But right now, the biggest challenge was that everyone wearing non-stop and online synchronization recording devices, uploading everything they saw in real-time to cloud servers without any delay. It would be easy for him to make a quick escape, but it would definitely expose his identity.
It was not hard to guess that once his identity was exposed, the American government would do its best to catch him. By then, he might be subject to international warrants issued by INTERPOL.
Since Tang Sihai found Leaf Chen again, Leaf Chen had been working hard to conceal his identity, even hiding it from Xiao Chuoran and others who were secretly enemies. If he was careless at this moment, all his previous efforts would have been in vain, and he might even drag himself and those around him into a deep abyss.
So, Leaf Chen was very clear that he couldn't rely on luck or take risks, but had to find a reliable method. JrNovels.com
