Zhou Liangyun nodded in agreement.<fna> ??? ????? ???????s ??? ?????s??? ?? </fna>


    Noticing that he had stopped insisting, Zhou Liangyun decided to shift the conversation. “By the way, young master, I’ve hidden the Sifang Baozhuang in a secure location. After you leave here, it’s crucial that you retrieve it and bring it back to China as soon as possible.”


    Charlie nodded thoughtfully and inquired, “Uncle Zhou, where exactly did you hide the Sifang Baozhuang?”


    With a smile, Zhou Liangyun replied, “The square treasure building is concealed just outside the gates of the Zhou family manor in New Jersey, not far from New York.”


    He borated, “Right outside my manor, there are two impressive stone lions. Inside the base of the male lion, there’s a hiddenpartment where the Sifang Baozhuang is tucked away. essing the hiddenpartment isn’tplicated; you simply need a small crane or forklift to lift the male lion’s body. Once that’s done, the base will open, revealing thepartment inside.”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    Charlie expressed his surprise, asking, “You’ve kept something so important right at your doorstep?”


    “Yes,” Zhou Liangyun affirmed with a smile. “The Rothschild family has meticulously searched all our properties, shops, and rted venues countless times. In my family’s manor alone, there are sixteen hiddenpartments throughout the walls, ceilings, and underground areas. They’ve employed the most advanced equipment to probe every inch, yet they never suspected that the treasure was hidden in the stone lion at the entrance.”


    He continued, “Additionally, the jade pot spring vase containing the ‘Nine Mysterious Heavenly Scriptures’ has remained undisturbed there for the past twenty years. Since the U.S. has a rtively low poption density, especially outside the city centers, it’smon to see two stone lions at the entrance of a Chinese manor. This location offers maximum safety. If I had hidden it elsewhere, any trace left could lead them right to it. Keeping it here means it’s virtually untraceable; it has never left my property, so they wouldn’t find any clues.”


    “Moreover, my manor is situated in a remote area at the end of a small road, with no surveince and no outsiders. The entire process can remainpletely confidential. To the Rothschilds, it’s as if this treasure has vanished from existence. The stone lions will stand guard, undeterred by time—whether for twenty years or even two hundred years.”


    Charlie couldn’t help but admire this strategy. It takes immense courage to ce such a significant item in an unguarded location, which clearly reflects Zhou Liangyun’s boldness and ingenuity.


    At that moment, Zhou Liangyun reminded Charlie, “Just a heads-up, young master; while it’s been several months since the incident, it’s possible the Rothschild family is still surveilling my family. However, I believe that with your skills, you won’t be discovered.”


    Charlie reassured him, “Don’t worry, Uncle Zhou. This isn’t a problem for me. Once I’m outside, I’ll retrieve the Sifang Baozhuang and bring it back to China immediately. After I’ve returned it to Zhao in full, I’ll arrange for the news to be released, which should prompt the Rothschild family to give up.”


    He paused, considering further, then added, “But simply letting them give up isn’t enough; it would be too easy for them. I intend to find a way to ensure they have to release you personally, granting you your freedom!”<h3 ss="wp-block-heading has-text-align-center" id="chapter-list"><strong></strong>
