Howard


    inquired, “If the news were to leak, who do you suspect might be responsible?” Hank replied, “


    I can’t say anything just yet. I need to conduct an investigation before forming an opinion.” Howard


    pressed further, “So, do you believe the intruders at Zhou’s house tonight are after the Sifang Baozhu?” “


    “Absolutely,” Hank asserted decisively. “The only reason they’d take such a significant risk is to acquire the Sifang Baozhu.”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    Hearing this, Howard felt a wave of dread wash over him.


    He muttered, “If that’s the case, it means they must have sessfully taken the Sifang Baozhu…”


    Without hesitation, he shouted hoarsely to the butler nearby, “Alert everyone and all departments right away! Secure all entrances and exits in New York and the surrounding areas, and initiate thorough searches within the blockade to locate the Sifang Baozhu at any cost!”


    At that moment, someone near Howard interjected, “Sir, I just received word from Canada that Queen Helena of Northern Europe is making an early visit to Canada.”


    Howard frowned, “Early? When is her arrival?”


    “It seems her special flight is scheduled to take off in about two or three hours, with Ottawa as the first stop, followed by Montreal,” the man replied.<fn13ea> Th? link to the orig?n of this information r?sts ?n find?novel</fn13ea>


    Confused, Howard asked, “Why the sudden change in ns?”


    The man exined, “It’s rumored that the Queen is experiencing some minor health issues and has an appointment for treatment next week, forcing her to leave sooner.” Howard responded, “


    Understood.” Meanwhile, Hank, on the other end of the call, seized the moment to ask, “Sir, what should our next steps be?” Howard, gritting his teeth, replied, “We need to dig deep and uncover the secret passage they used to infiltrate!”


    He continued, “Also, inform Steve that Helena is heading to Canada and instruct him to arrange for Royce to get ready. I’ll send someone over to assist with the coordination. Our reputation has taken a hit recently, and we must capitalize on this opportunity to build a solid rtionship with the Nordic royal family; it could prove invaluable down the line!”


    Hank quickly affirmed, “Understood, sir! I’ll ry the message to the young master immediately!”


    Howard’s tone turned cold, “Hank, they entered and exited Zhou Manor right under your nose as if it werepletely unguarded! I will hold you ountable for this. Before I decide on your punishment, you better gather some useful clues for me. Otherwise, don’t expect mercy! Do you understand?”


    Hank quickly replied, “I understand, sir. Rest assured, I will do my utmost!”


    Howard promptly hung up the phone.


    Turning to Charlie Wade, Hank said respectfully, “Mr. Wade, Howard wishes to inform the young master that he is heading to Canada!”


    Charlie Wade nodded, “I heard everything.”


    With that, Charlie Wade addressed Steve and Royce, saying, “You two, please turn around and listen.”


    Both men quickly turned to face Charlie Wade, waiting attentively for his instructions.


    Charlie Wade then stated, “Royce, I’ll be taking a helicopter with you to Canada shortly. Can we trust your pilot?”


    “Absolutely, without a doubt!” Steve affirmed. “My pilot is one of my direct descendants!”


    “Great,” Charlie Wade replied, “Once we set off, you will remain here and await further instructions from your father.”


    Steve agreed without hesitation.


    In his mind, he was hopeful that Charlie Wade would swiftly transport the Sifang Baozhu out of the United States. Once it was outside the country, its threat would vanish.
