Charlie had always been aware that the Po Qing Club had adopted a more discreet approachtely. Therefore, when he arrived in New York this time, he never anticipated any interaction with the Po Qing Club.


    However, as soon as he stepped onto the seventeenth floor of Manhattan Hospital, he was met with the arrival of an injured individual connected to the Qing Dynasty. This urrence could not simply be a coincidence.


    Charlie’s instincts immediately suggested that the Po Qing Club was likely here for Zhou Liangyun.


    It was clear that their interest in Zhou Liangyun revolved around the Sifang Baozhu.


    Reflecting on the situation, Charlie recalled his conversation with Wan’er, who mentioned that Willie had previously discussed the Sifang Baozhuan with her father, Aasif. This meant Sara was likely aware of the Sifang Baozhuang’s existence and might even be the only member of the Po Qing Club who understood its true significance. With the Po Qing Club now focused on this location, it seemed evident that Sara had given the orders.<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    This line of thought made Charlie feel a heightened sense of caution.


    He was acutely aware that besides Sara, the Po Qing Club was led by three elders and an earl. If Sara had dispatched the earl, Charlie might stand a chance; however, if one of the three elders was involved, he knew he would struggle to hold his ground.


    After all, those three were masters preparing to open the Niwan Pce, and their capabilities were formidable.<fnb666> Th?s chapter is updated by Find1Novel</fnb666>


    Taking stock of the situation, Charlie concluded that it would be wise to move Zhou Liangyun to a safer location quickly to prevent anyplications from arising.


    Originally, it was just the Rothschild family that posed a threat, but now the Qing Dynasty Society had also entered the fray. If he didn’t act promptly to relocate Zhou Liangyun, they could both be in serious danger.


    At this moment, engaging in a confrontation was unwise; ensuring safety was paramount.


    As he observed the injured person being wheeled into ward 1707, Charlie made his way to the door of ward 1708.


    He knocked twice before opening the door without waiting for Hank to respond.


    Hank’s single ward resembled a cozy one-bedroom apartment, featuring a small sitting area at the entrance leading into the room.


    At that moment, Hank was reclining on the bed, seeming bored as he awaited the doctor’s follow-up examination.


    Upon seeing Charlie, he quickly rose and said with respect, “Mr. Wade, it’s great to see you!”


    Charlie nodded, setting the flowers aside, and asked, “Has Howard provided you with any new directives?”


    Hank replied immediately, “Not yet, Mr. Wade. He instructed me to assess the situation here and await further guidance!”


    Charlie probed further, “Based on your understanding of him, what do you think his next move will be? Is there a chance he might attempt to take the person?”


    After a moment of thought, Hank shook his head, saying, “I doubt it. When he brought me in, I made it clear that I would do whatever it took to retrieve the individual, no matter the cost. However, he declined. In my opinion, he wouldn’t dare act impulsively at this point.”


    Charlie nodded, contemting, “If Howard can’t find a way to leverage the situation here, he’ll likely reconsider and release Uncle Zhou. With Arman taking seven or eight hours to arrive in Jinling, and including the time for him to hand off to Grandpa Sun, followed by Grandpa Sun’s journey to Eastcliff, it will dy the transfer of the Sifang Baozhuang to the officials by at least another six or seven hours. This leaves us with about thirteen or fourteen hours before the news of the Sifang Baozhu’s return to China breaks.”


    With this in mind, he asked Hank, “If I decide to take action and forcibly remove individuals, do you have any viable strategies?”


    Hank responded, “Mr. Wade, the FBI has a minimum of ten agents on-site. If they intervene, they will undoubtedly call in all of New York’s S.A.T. units, including special police. Within ten minutes, dozens of police helicopters will surround the area. If you attempt to snatch him away, it will likely be a global headline, leading to significant repercussions. Mr. Zhou might find himself having to seek refuge in Tibet permanently.”


    That assessment was indeed reasonable. Charlie nodded, simultaneously channeling his spiritual energy to assess the conditions in several wards nearby.
