Chapter: 6046
These personnel's identities were very clean because they presented themselves as corporate executives, behaving elegantly when going out, looking like they were on official business. When seven or eight of them went out together, it was clear that they were on government business again. Combining their legal identity, work background, and clean image, they could withstand meticulous background checks.
Lei Chen gave them a single task: to safely escort Chen Zhaozhong to Jinling and complete the handover with Sun Zhidong.
They were all Wanyang Palace members and didn't recognize Chen Zhaozhong or know that he was going to take the four-directional treasure back to Hua Xia, so there was also an assurance of safety.
In addition, Lei Chen could confirm that Steve and Lois's father-son duo would never reveal any information about their cooperation with him to help bring the four-directional treasure out. So, the focus of the Rockefeller family would not shift here, further enhancing the security of Chen Zhaozhong taking the four-directional treasure back to his country.
Wanyang Palace arranged these personnel to accompany Chen Zhaozhong and also specially arranged an American agent to quietly send Lei Chen back to the United States. This person had established relationships at the US-Canada border crossing over many years, plus a well-disguised RV travel car that could easily hide two or three people inside, allowing them to smoothly pass through the US-Canada border.
Around 8 am, Chen Zhaozhong boarded the earliest flight and landed at Montréal Airport.
After meeting Lei Chen, he handed over the wooden box containing the four-directional treasure and said, "Zhaozhong Uncle, you take the four-directional treasure to Jinling first. I have already arranged for someone in Jinling to meet with you. His name is Sun Zhidong, who will bring the four-directional treasure to Yanjing."
Chen Zhaozhong asked anxiously, "Young master, you're not leaving?"
"Not leaving," Lei Chen said. "Right now, Uncle is still in the hospital, and I cannot just leave like this. I must ensure his safety and security are thoroughly guaranteed before I depart."
Chen Zhaozhong nodded slightly, saying, "That's it, young master. I'll head back as soon as I'm done delivering the four-directional treasure!"
Lei Chen said, "Uncle, you don't need to worry about coming back here again. I will arrange for someone in Jinling to meet with you and help you settle down there. You can work during the weekdays in Jinling and return to Hong Kong on weekends to spend time with your family. When that time comes, you're free to use my family's plane whenever you want."
Chen Zhaozhong saw Lei Chen's determined expression and nodded slightly, saying, "That's it, young master. Take care of yourself!"
Half an hour later, a business jet took off from Montréal Airport and disappeared into the horizon.
The four-directional treasure, left in China for two hundred years, finally embarked on its journey back home.
Lei Chen watched as the plane vanished into the distance before getting into the RV car provided by Wanyang Palace and heading to the US-Canada border crossing station.
Lei Chen had initially planned to visit Ottawa and meet with Helena, but considering that Zhou Liyuan was still in the hospital, he didn't dare waste time. He knew that the Chinese government might announce the news of the four-directional treasure's return within ten or fifteen hours at most, so he needed to get a head start to protect Zhou Liyuan's safety.
Lei Chen's only concern was that Howard from the Rockefeller family might lose his mind and seek revenge against Zhou Liyuan when the time comes.
Helena has a four-day visit schedule in Canada, so if she can handle everything in New York within those four days, I'll definitely meet up with her there and thank her personally for her help when I get to Canada.
When Lei Chen returned to New York, Steve Rockefella was still under Hank's surveillance, while the henchmen of the Rockefeller family were frantically searching the Zhou Family Manor grounds from half past midnight to half past morning, still finding nothing.
Howard has given up too, previously unwilling to make his move too obvious in front of the Zhou family. Seeing that the Four-Directional Treasure might be taken away, he decided not to waste any more time and let Hank intensify the search while simultaneously sending another reconnaissance team with large-scale geological survey equipment to the scene.
Several heavy-duty trucks arrived at the Zhou Family Manor grounds, setting up various equipment to conduct a comprehensive underground survey of the entire estate. This kind of surveying equipment can even scan out the ant tunnels in the ground with clarity, so if there is an entrance that allows people to enter and exit, it will definitely be found.
However, this is still the Zhou Family Manor, where Peter Zhou committed a crime but escaped punishment because he's a family member. The Rockefeller family came barging in like they were discovering oil in the backyard of the Zhou family estate, causing such a huge commotion that couldn't be kept hidden from outsiders.
As a result, several uncontrolled media platforms, including short video platforms, reported this bizarre incident as soon as possible, even trampling on the law.
The American public suddenly boiled over with rage.
No one expected that, just after being exposed, the Rockefeller family would continue to openly defy the law, this time bringing an engineering team to the Zhou Family Manor estate to dig and excavate, basically acting like outlaws beyond the law. As a result, the online criticism of the Rockefeller family reached an unprecedented new high within a morning. JrNovels.com
