Chapter: 6053

But he didn't expect that the other party was usually quick to answer his calls, but this time it took half a day before they finally picked up. Out of anger, he drafted an information to send over, which read: "Don't ignore my call unless you want to become enemies with the Rockefeller family!"

After sending the message, he called again and rang seven or eight times before the other party finally answered, looking helpless and saying, "Mr. Rockefeller, do you have something important to discuss?"

Howard spoke in a cold tone, "I have an important matter that requires I see Peter Zhou, and I need you to arrange for my people to have some favor."

The other party hesitated and said, "Mr. Rockefeller, things with Peter Zhou are already getting quite complicated now. The entire nation is watching us. If I were to let your people touch him again, there's a risk that something ugly might happen, not just affecting my position, but even the president's approval rating would plummet!"

Howard said, "You don't need to worry. My people will only ask him questions and won't do anything to harm him."

The other party flatly refused, saying, "It's impossible, Mr. Rockefeller. If your people were only asking questions and could get answers that way, then they wouldn't be locking him up in the underground interrogation room at the Brooklyn prison either. Not to mention, many media outlets are watching us right now if we make any moves that seem suspicious. And if we do something like this again, the Rockefeller family will also become quite helpless."

Howard was inwardly seething with anger and asked furiously, "Then I'll withdraw my complaint and declare everything a misunderstanding. At that point, wouldn't you be able to stop protecting Peter Zhou?"

"It's high-efficiency!"

Withdrawing the complaint was Howard's only choice at the moment.

Initially, it was he who accused Peter Zhou, and with his social status, all he had to do was tell the police and court that everything was a misunderstanding. Peter Zhou didn't steal anything from him, or if he did, it was just a fake product worth less than one hundred dollars, so Peter Zhou would definitely be acquitted.

Once he's acquitted, he'll regain his freedom, and the FBI will no longer need to strictly monitor and protect him.

However, doing this again means another new blow to the Rockefeller family.

Because this is equivalent to exposing all previous scandals that have already fermented on top of everything, then saying that they framed or misunderstood Peter Zhou for the entire society.

This is just mother's hell.

But Howard had no way out.

His intuition told him that he needed to find a way to stop this from happening as soon as possible. If four treasures really couldn't be salvaged, it was very likely that the Rockefeller family's excellent two-hundred-year momentum would come to an end.

At this moment, the FBI leader listened to his words and said blandly, "If you really withdraw the complaint, we'll stop protecting him once the court declares Peter Zhou innocent.""

Saying that, the other party reminded him again: "However, Mr. Rockefeller, I want to remind you that once Peter Zhou regains his freedom, don't think you can do whatever you like with him. As soon as he has any slightest problem, FBI will definitely investigate it thoroughly. Currently, the Rockefeller family's reputation is already very passive. I advise you not to act impulsively."

As he spoke, he changed the subject and asked, "What's Peter Zhou's situation? Have you investigated it thoroughly? What exactly did the British master send us to find out?"

Chen Zhimin whispered, "Subordinate found some circumstances. I'll tell them all slowly after we get on the car."

"Alright."

The two of them left the airport and arrived at Chen Zhimin's limited edition Lamborghini Huracan. Chen Zhimin took on the role of driver, opened the rear door for Loyal Uncle, and only closed it after Loyal Uncle got in. Then he returned to the driving room.

Back in the driving room, Chen Zhimin handed over a few printed images to Loyal Uncle, introducing them by saying, "Loyal Uncle, these are what the British master sent us to cooperate on finding out. Take a look."

Loyal Uncle took the data and looked at it roughly, then expressed doubt, saying, "This is just an ordinary gold-plated Buddha statue. What's so remarkable about it that makes the British master personally take notice? Have you found any other information or data?"

Chen Zhimin hurriedly replied, "As for Loyal Uncle, subordinate has inquired around and doesn't understand what's so special about this antique. The Rockefeller family hasn't revealed anything inside either, except that their patriarch is very fond of it, and the recent series of scandals were all because of it." JrNovels.com
