An Qishan remarked, “Right now, your only option is to rely on luck. If you don’t address this situation, and it bes known that someone perished in the hangar, the consequences could be dire. The nature of this incident would shift drastically. Whether it’s the police, the FBI, or the clearancemittee, once they learn that there’s been a death at my Anjia General Aviation Company, they will pursue every lead vigorously. Plus, thispany is linked to Chen Zhimin, who has gone missing. The Qingqing Committee will undoubtedlyunch a thorough investigation, and eventually, you will find it impossible to evade involvement.”


    After sharing this, An Qishan sighed with relief, reflecting, “Looking back, my choice to leave the United States was indeed the right one! If I were still there, I would be entangled in this situation. Just the scrutiny of my general aviationpany would be enough to trouble me. Now that my family has been away from the U.S. for quite some time, no matter the location of the investigation, it will be a hassle. If things get out of hand, I’d rather abandon this general aviationpany altogether!”


    Howard listened to An Qishan’s grateful words, feeling a mix of envy and mncholy.


    He recognized that An Qishan had left the U.S. for good and had no ns to return. Even if his family’s general aviationpany faced more tragedies, it wouldn’t affect him directly. After all, he wasn’t responsible for those deaths, and he had mentally let go of properties he could no longer manage in the U.S.


    However, he found himself in a different position!<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    While An Qishan could seek refuge in China, where could he possibly hide?


    Moreover, even the renowned Rothschild family couldn’t simply abandon their stronghold in pursuit of Peter Zhou and Sifang Baozhu!


    After some contemtion, he deemed An Qishan’s advice worth considering.<fn06a1> Read full story at </fn06a1>


    At that moment, An Qishan reassured him, saying, “Brother, there’s no need to panic. As long as you can dispose of the body without a trace, you should be able to rx. If this issuees to light, in the eyes of the Po Qing Association, my connection to this situation outweighs yours.”


    Howard instinctively inquired, “Why do you say that?”


    An Qishan exined, “Think about it: I have a vendetta against Po Qing, which is one factor; Chen Zhimin is my son-inw, that’s another; and the General Aviation Company is a property of the An family, which is a third reason. If Po Qing learns that Chen Zhimin died in the fire, do you really think they will suspect you more than me?”


    Hearing this, Howard felt a wave of relief wash over him!


    He thought, “An Qishan is correct! Regardless of how you look at it, this situation is more tied to him. If I can manage the evidence from this fire and conceal all involved parties, who would ever suspect that I was behind it?”


    With that thought in mind, he awkwardly stated, “Brother An, this situation has nothing to do with you, yet I am asking you to shoulder the risk for me. How can I feelfortable with that?”


    His politeness stemmed from the knowledge that even if he could evade the Po Qing Association, An Qishan was still privy to the details. If he ever revealed the truth, Po Qing might very welle after him.


    Therefore, he feltpelled to gauge An Qishan’s willingness to help him.


    Unaware of Howard’s thoughts, An Qishan replied casually, “I’ve been in a fierce battle with Po Qing for quite some time, so taking on this risk for you isn’t a big deal. Frankly, they’re already out to eliminate my entire family. Even if theye to believe I was behind Chen Zhimin’s death, what can they do? They can’t kill my family twice, can they?”


    Howard, who had always prioritized self-interest, was typically indifferent to the loss of life unless it benefited him financially. Yet, he felt a surge of gratitude towards An Qishan for his generous support and expressed earnestly, “Brother An, I can’t thank you enough!”


    An Qishan smiled and replied, “Brother, don’t rush to thank me. I’m not someone who has survived against Po Qing for so long without caution. If Po Qing discovers your involvement, you must be prepared for the consequences.”


    Howard’s heart skipped a beat, recognizing the truth in An Qishan’s warning. There was indeed a chance that everything could unravel, but he knew he had no other options. He had to move quickly to dispose of the bodies and eliminate any traces; at least he still had a shot at evading disaster.


    Thus, he expressed his sincere gratitude, “Brother An, thank you for your guidance and support. I’ll act promptly on your advice. If it alles to light, I’ll have to ept my fate.” With that, the two exchanged pleasantries.


    After hanging up, Howard mobilized hiswork to find ways to dispose of the body and erase any evidence.


    Meanwhile, An Qishan sent a message to Charlie Wade, informing him that Howard had taken the bait.


    Charlie Wade had instructed his grandfather to intimidate Howard mainly to ensure that his n of achieving four goals with one action could be executed wlessly.


    This four-bird n would first torment Howard, leaving him anxious and sleepless; second, it would lead Howard to believe that Zhou Liangyun was dead, prompting him to abandon the search for Zhou Liangyun; third, it would encourage Howard to assist in the disposal of bodies and elimination of evidence,plicating the trail; and finally, it aimed to drag the Rothschild family into a quagmire.


    As Hank pursued the General Aviation Company, the Rothschild family had already boarded Charlie Wade’s pirate ship. Once they actively participated in body disposal and evidence erasure, their options would be severely limited. This alone would provide Charlie Wade significant leverage over Howard.


    In this manner, Charlie Wade would hold leverage over both Howard and his son, Steve. Regardless of who considered betraying them, he had numerous ways to manage the situation!
