Chapter: 6499

When Jenny handed over the 10 billion US dollars in encrypted currency, American media outlets suddenly began reporting on this massive kidnapping case with intense and detailed coverage.

The news spread like wildfire across the United States, initially shocking people with the enormity of the crime. However, American media quickly shifted the focus to Jenny's character, causing the public to be even more shocked by her strong and fearless determination to save her husband and child.

For a brief moment, the story of Jenny saving her husband and child became a sensation across the entire United States, with Jenny facing camera lenses and exuding calmness, resilience, and unwavering devotion to her family, earning widespread praise from American citizens.

When Ye Chen received the news that 10 billion US dollars had been transferred into his account, he was on his way to Tianxiang Manor. Steve Rothschild, host of the banquet at Tianxiang Manor, invited him for a meal before leaving, so Ye Chen drove to the antique street and picked up Zhou Liangyun, who was browsing shops.

He invited Zhou Liangyun to join him at Steve's dinner party, simply to take advantage of the opportunity to encourage Steve once more. Ye Chen had thoroughly grasped the general character of the Rothschild family: they were generally selfish, cruel, and lacking in true contractual spirit.

The most important point was that their sense of contractual responsibility was extremely weak and extremely biased.

Overall, if a contract is beneficial to them, they will have an incredibly strong contractual spirit, even if the other party is already penniless or on the verge of bankruptcy and owes them money with interest.

However, if the contract is unfavorable to them, they will definitely think of ways to avoid fulfilling it as much as possible, or even try to annul the contract.

From my experience dealing with Howard and Steve, they are almost identical in terms of their contractual spirit.

So I have to seize this opportunity and constantly encourage Steve to ensure that he does not dare to renege on his promise after returning to the United States.

When Ye Chen and Zhou Liangyun entered the room, Steve was already waiting inside with a slightly bewildered expression, but quickly understood Ye Chen's intentions and then hurriedly stood up, greeting them in a courteous manner: "Mr. Ye, Mr. Zhou, please take your seats!"

Ye Chen nodded and said to Zhou Liangyun in a very polite tone: "Uncle Zhou, you may sit down first."

Zhou Liangyun smiled and indicated for him to sit next to him.

Steve was now worriedly asking him: "Mr. Ye, has the Hogarth family paid out that 10 billion US dollars? I'm afraid they might think it's not worth their while to pay and won't want to do so, which would be a loss to you as well."

Ye Chen laughed: "Look at you talking, Steve! Do you really think I care about their little money? I only asked them for the money because I wanted to play along with your show. You've been here in Jinling for so long and haven't found them yet, so when they're gone, it'll definitely be embarrassing. And besides, you can't just leave without getting anything back, so I had them agree to a huge ransom on condition that we take a video of them on the high seas, then ask their family for a massive sum of money afterwards."

Steve's eyes widened upon hearing this: "Oh no! It's all because I talked too much. Now Ye Chen has turned our relationship into a one-way street, and if the Hogarth family doesn't give him that 10 billion US dollars, he won't ask me to pay it back. If he asks me to pay it back, I'll definitely have to do so. But then what if I don't want to pay it? I'm not the family head, I should be able to decide whether or not to pay... Ah, man! I'm not sure if I can afford to spend that much money on my own..."

Ye Chen noticed Steve wasn't speaking and deliberately laughed and asked him, "What's wrong, Steve? You've been silent about the Hogarth family giving or not giving money. Are you afraid I'll ask you for this amount?"

Steve immediately grasped Ye Chen's intention and thought to himself, "Afraid he'll ask me for it? This means he won't give it if they don't give it? How confident are you, asking someone for 10 billion US dollars without returning the debt to them? If people think carefully about this, they might not give the money. It seems like you're using me as a safety net, and if Hogarth doesn't pay out this amount, only I can...?"

Thinking of this, Steve looked somewhat depressed and said, "How could it be, Mr. Ye... I'm just worried that the Hogarth family's people don't understand things and will make You unhappy..."

Ye Chen waved his hand dismissively: "No need to worry, as long as it's 10 billion US dollars? Take a magic pill and this money will come."

Steve heard the words "magic pill" and suddenly felt a chill run down his spine. He quickly said, "Mr. Ye, please don't worry! If Hogarth doesn't cooperate, I'll make up for it! It's just 10 billion US dollars? I definitely won't let You suffer any losses."

Ye Chen laughed: "Oh, how could you say that, Steve? Although you're related to them too, they're still distant relatives. There's no need for you to take on this debt..."

Steve hurriedly said: "No problem, Mr. Ye! Please don't bother with me. I only have one principle now - no matter what, I won't harm Your interests."

One thing Steve didn't say was that after he paid the 10 billion US dollars, Ye Chen would give him a magic pill to take, and he could use his own money to justify spending it!

Ye Chen was about to speak when his phone suddenly received a message from the Wanjun Temple's Wan Break Army, informing him that the 10 billion US dollars in cryptocurrency had been received. JrNovels.com
