Upon hearing this, Charlie gained a full understanding of Zhou Liangyun’s situation regarding his imprisonment in Brooklyn Prison.<fn03aa> Chapters first released on f?i?n?d?n?o?v?e?l?</fn03aa>


    He couldn’t help but exim, “I was taken aback at first. Given the power of the Rothschild family, if you truly stole from them, they wouldn’t need to resort to legal measures. So, you called the police and turned yourself in?”


    “That’s correct,” Zhou Liangyun replied with a hint of resignation. “In the United States, while the Rothschild family holds considerable influence, they must avoid inciting public outrage. Yes, I did take their property, but since I chose to surrender voluntarily, the matter has to follow judicial procedures.”


    “In this scenario, even they cannot arrest me outright. After all, I am a somewhat well-known antique dealer with connections in high society. If they were to arrest me and resort to lynching, it would be a huge embarrassment for the American police if the news got out.”


    “Thus, the Rothschild family can only take the alternative route and have the court confine me here. Even if they were to mistreat me further, they wouldn’t dare to kill me, as my sentence is only for fifteen years. If I remain imprisoned for that duration, the Rothschild family would struggle to justify my fate to the public.”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    Charlie expressed with determination, “Uncle Zhou, I will get you out of here today. As for the Rothschild family, I will confront them directly.”


    “Absolutely not!” Zhou Liangyun interjected urgently. “Master, I am a prisoner here for theft. If you take me away now, the Rothschild family will not only retaliate, but they will likely target my family as well.”


    “More importantly,” he continued, “if I leave with you, I will bebeled a fugitive!”


    “Although the Sifang Mansion originally belonged to China, I did indeed take it from the Rothschild family. The U.S. court has decided my fate, and I have epted my guilt and submitted to thew. However, I cannot bear the disgrace of being a fugitive.”


    Charlie expressed his concern, “Uncle Zhou, if the Rothschild family doesn’t retrieve the Sifang Pavilion, they certainly won’t give up. If you still have over ten years left in your sentence, those years will undoubtedly be incredibly challenging.”


    “That’s of little consequence,” Zhou Liangyun said with a faint smile, his tone serious. “I had considered the consequences before I acted.”


    “Now that this situation hase to light, the Rothschild family will not and cannot kill me. Their aim is to reim the Sifang Treasure Building.”


    “The best solution now is for the Sifang Treasure Building to be returned to China. Once it goes back to its rightful owner, no matter how shameless the Rothschild family is, they will think twice before demanding cultural relics that rightfully belong to China. Once the Rothschilds realize that they can never have the treasure back, they will stop pursuing me.”


    “I will serve my sentence honorably. Even if the Rothschild family continues to trouble me, they will not dare to take real action against me.”


    “What’s more, should they decide to kill me, it would be pointless. My death would not return the Sifang Treasure Tower to them.”


    Zhou Liangyun then looked at Charlie earnestly, saying, “Master, I have one request: please help me return the Sifang Baozhu to China. This vital piece of our heritage muste home to serve its rightful purpose for our nation.”


    Charlie was surprised by Zhou Liangyun’s deep concern for his homnd, and he felt moved. He nodded and assured him, “Uncle Zhou, don’t worry. I will definitely bring the Sifang Baozhu back to China. I have a friend who has significant connections and can facilitate the donation of the Sifang Baozhuang.”


    Charlie was currently thinking of one of Lin Wan’er’s adopted sons, Sun Zhidong (Meir).


    Since the Sifang Baozhuang is a crucial part of national heritage, it is clear that he cannot im it for himself. Donating it to China through Sun Zhidong (Meir) is the true and honorable course of action. This is the rightful return of a piece of jade back to its source.


    Zhou Liangyun’s excitement was palpable as he said, “I trust youpletely, young master. Once the Sifang Baozhu returns to China, I will havepleted my fifteen-year sentence in the U.S., and this matter will be settled.”


    Charlie replied earnestly, “Uncle Zhou, the British and the Rothschild family have stolen countless historical artifacts from China. Whether it has been a century or even a millennium, what they took will always remain stolen.”<h3 ss="wp-block-heading has-text-align-center" id="chapter-list"><strong></strong>
