Chapter: 6119
She had secretly placed numerous scholars around the world, with only a handful of people being crucial like Chen Zhimin, who took decades to build. Now they are all gone, and she has lost her last piece on the board.
Wu Tianlin saw that she was about to lose control over her emotions, so he quickly said: "Your Majesty, since things have reached this point, I humbly suggest, for safety's sake, we should leave the United States and return to our base. What do you think?"
As for now, Wu Feiyan's face remained cold as she said, "Loyalty and bravery Earl Chen Zhimin passed away in New York. From then on, our enemies repeatedly attacked us. I must investigate this thoroughly!" Then, with a wicked expression, she continued, "And there is that Rockefeller family who dared to probe me. Wherever I go, no one has ever dared to provoke me like this. This time, they must pay the price!"
As soon as Wu Feiyan finished speaking, she coldly shouted, "Return to New York!"
... When Wu Feiyan was returning to New York on a helicopter, Howard Rockefeller, the patriarch of the Rockefeller family, was weakly lying in bed, his bags heavy and dark. He looked like he had slept all night without opening his eyes.
Recently, Howard's mentality has been repeatedly battered, reaching a climax in the early hours today. He never thought that his subordinate Hank would pursue Zhou Peter and actually set fire to Chen Zhimin and drive him to suicide after learning that he was a member of the Breakaway Society.
After knowing this, Howard's heart collapsed further.
Although he had already followed An Qi Shan's advice and destroyed the evidence at the scene, he still felt anxious in his heart because this time he had offended someone extraordinary - the Breakaway Society with its long history and extreme mystique.
In fact, there are never a shortage of mysterious organizations with dark pasts in America, but none can be compared to the Breakaway Society.
At present, he is not sure if they will investigate him or not. If they do, this matter may not be so easily resolved.
To ensure his own safety, he contacted the officials at the National Security Agency and CIA right after the incident this morning, asking them to dispatch their top agents with professional equipment to Rosewood Manor to guarantee his own and family's safety.
However, thinking about the Breakaway Society's capabilities, he is still anxious in his heart and even considers leaving America to find a safe place to temporarily hide from the storm.
At that moment, his son David Roosevelt knocked on the door anxiously, saying, "Father, there's an urgent message!"
Howard heard it was urgent and quickly said, "Come in."
David pushed open the door, walked through the hallway, and came into the bedroom, looking at Howard who was half-sitting up against the bed frame. He exclaimed, "Dad! Something big has happened!"
Howard asked nervously, "What's going on?"
David sighed and said, "The Four Treasures of Harmony have returned to China via secret channels..."
"What?!" Howard felt his brain buzzing with a loud hum, as if he had fallen from the clouds. He took 10-15 seconds to regain his composure before suddenly sitting up in bed, sternly asking, "What did you just say? Say it again!"
David saw him looking pale and overwrought, so he quickly approached and supported his father's back with caution before repeating slowly, "Father, the official news from China is that the Four Treasures of Harmony have been donated back to China through secret channels, and Chinese officials have announced the return of this national treasure, which has been lost overseas for two centuries..."
Howard suddenly had a brain explosion, grabbed the bed sheets and pillow, and frantically threw them far away, shouting hysterically, "How did this happen?! What's going on?! I've turned New York into an iron bucket, everyone who leaves New York must undergo inspection, especially at airports! Why can't the Four Treasures of Harmony still be returned to China from under my nose?! This is ridiculous! How did it happen?!"
"What a bunch of trash! You're all a bunch of complete trash!"
David said nervously, "Father, I just received the news, it's from official sources in China, translated and published on American networks. There's no description or explanation about how the Four Treasures of Harmony returned to China, and I don't know either... but the fact is, it has really returned to China..."
Howard was furious and shouted, "Go! Protest at the Chinese embassy in America! Tell them that the Four Treasures of Harmony belongs to the Rothschild family and demand they return it immediately!"
As he spoke, Howard continued, "Don't wait for a response, call your brother back right away and organize a team to go to China. Get all the best lawyers from America and when we get there, file a lawsuit against them! I don't care what methods you use, the Four Treasures of Harmony must come back to me!!"
David said with an awkward expression, "Father... China has publicly disclosed the history of the Four Treasures of Harmony, including the first and second Opium Wars and the Eight-Nation Alliance. Now, the whole world knows that the Four Treasures of Harmony was taken away along with hundreds of thousands of Chinese cultural artifacts by Western powers. If we go to negotiate with China now, not only is it legally unfeasible, but also socially unacceptable..." JrNovels.com
