Charlie Wade, however, had no intention of leaving the United States just like that.


    After all, Zhou Liangyun was still receiving treatment in the hospital. It remained uncertain how the U.S. government and the Rothschild family would respond once he was discharged. Charlie Wade didn’t want to abandon him to face these challenges alone. If possible, he intended to do everything in his power to secure his release from jail and ensure his freedom.


    Meanwhile,


    Hank led a group of individuals into the Zhou Manor, turning it upside down in search of clues, but they found no sign of an intrusion.


    What puzzled them, however, was the considerable noise that had echoed through the Zhou family vi just moments before. Many pieces of furniture and decor were indeed damaged, suggesting that someone had been there. How else could a vi with all doors and windows closed suddenly be disturbed, with items crashing to the floor?<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    Yet, the strange part was that it appeared as if someone had violently tossed everything around, yet there were no footprints or any trace of a person at the scene.


    Some of Howard’s informants quickly ryed this situation to him.


    Upon hearing the news, Howard was immediately on edge, trembling with anxiety.


    He quickly dialed Hank. When Hank noticed the iing call, he turned to Charlie Wade and asked, “Mr. Wade, it’s a call from Howard. Should I answer?”


    Charlie Wade nodded, “Yes, he likely wants to know the details of what just happened. Inform him that he did hear themotion inside but that no one was apprehended. If he inquires about the power outage, embellish the situation and subtly suggest there might be a mole within the Rothschild family.”


    Hank replied without hesitation, “Understood, Mr. Wade, I’ll inform him!”


    He then answered the phone, speaking respectfully, “Hello, sir! I was just about to contact you. I want to report that we heard a loud noise in the Zhou family manor. Concerned that someone might have entered through an unmonitored secret passage, I ordered my team to rush in before seeking your guidance. Please forgive me for acting without your approval…”


    Howard responded, “You did well. In a critical situation, it’s smart to act on instinct without waiting for my consent.”


    He then cautiously inquired, “What’s the situation at the scene? Have we arrested anyone?”


    Hank replied, “Not yet. Most of our personnel are inside, but we haven’t found any valuable clues.”


    Howard’s voice was filled with concern as he asked, “There are indications that someone entered, yet we have no clues. What’s going on? It’s highly probable that someone infiltrated the Zhou family through a secret passage we’re unaware of and left quietly…”


    At this moment, Howard added, “By the way, Hank, I heard there was a sudden power outage at your location tonight?”<fneb68> ??? ????? ???????s ??? ?????s??? ?? find~novel</fneb68>


    “Yes,” Hank exined. “Both circuits failed tonight, and repairs are proving to be quite challenging. We estimate that we won’t have power restored until after noon.”


    Howard’s mood grew increasingly heavy and anxious. “Surely, the power outage couldn’t have just been a coincidence?”


    “Definitely not,” Hank asserted firmly. “Sir, I believe our every move is being watched. The other party is likely aware of our covert operations and has even identified our extensive surveince measures, which is why they sabotaged the power supply and disabled our equipment.”


    Howard’s heart sank as he asked, “Did we fail to maintain secrecy? Or is it possible that someone within our ranks leaked information?”


    Hank replied, “Both scenarios are usible, but thetter seems more likely.”
