The Amazing son in law Chapter 6349

Sneaking into Zhou Manor was a challenge, especially when attempting to approach its entrance discreetly. Yet, in a moment that drew the attention of onlookers, he boldly removed the four-square treasure banner from the stone lion.

Moreover, it remained uncertain if he could successfully take the Sifang Baozhuang. Should he resort to force to escape the restricted area with the artifact, he would be unstoppable. However, such an action would also reveal his true identity.

Currently, the significant issue of dismantling the Qing Dynasty had yet to be resolved. If he were to be exposed to the Rothschild family, the potential rewards would not outweigh the risks.

Therefore, Charlie Wade aimed to find the safest possible approach. If he could quietly transport the Sifang Baozhu back to China, he would have honored Zhou Liangyun’s request.

With dawn about three hours away, Charlie Wade decided to explore the feasibility of using a helicopter.

Just ten minutes later, Steve’s helicopter lifted off from the villa’s backyard.

This opulent helicopter could accommodate over twenty passengers, but at that moment, it only housed two individuals: Hank and Royce.

Charlie Wade settled onto the sofa within the spacious cabin, glancing at Steve in the dim light and inquired, “Are you a Rothschild? As the first heir of the De family, why are you personally involved in this?”

Steve, his expression filled with anguish, replied, “You don’t understand… my father abruptly declared that whoever retrieves the Sifang Treasure Tower will become the heir of the Rothschild family. This essentially undermines my legal position as the first heir…”

Charlie Wade nodded in understanding and smiled, “That explains why you’re working so tirelessly and burning the midnight oil.”

“Oh, it’s nothing…” Steve said awkwardly, “I’m in a position where I have no choice. If I lose my first heir status, my son won’t qualify to inherit the family business. I’m fighting for his future.”

Charlie Wade pressed on, “So why did you choose to monitor this location instead of collaborating with others to obstruct the search?”

Steve replied, “My father indicated that this area had the highest chance of uncovering the Sifang Baozhuang, which is why I came here…”

Charlie Wade nodded, a smile on his face. “To be honest, the Sifang Baozhuang you seek is located within the Zhou family! And I’m here to retrieve it.”

Despite Steve suspecting this from the outset, he was still taken aback by Charlie Wade’s revelation.

He hadn’t anticipated that Charlie Wade would dare to infiltrate a heavily guarded area, and his ability to reach this point undetected demonstrated a level of skill that surpassed his expectations.

Initially thrilled by the realization that the Sifang Baozhuang was indeed with the Zhou family, Steve soon felt a wave of regret and frustration.

He recognized that escaping Charlie Wade, who now felt like an ominous presence, would be nearly impossible. Whether he would make it out alive remained uncertain. Had he known that the Sifang Baozhuang was here, he might have simply brought a hundred excavators to dig until they found it. If he had reached the treasure before Charlie Wade, he would have completed his mission.

Now, however, not only had he missed this opportunity, but he might also be putting his life on the line.

Noticing Steve’s despondent and regretful demeanor, Charlie Wade couldn’t help but chuckle and remarked, “Steve, you don’t seem to be in high spirits?”

Steve, startled and agitated, quickly responded, “No, no, you’ve misunderstood…”

Charlie Wade smiled knowingly, “Steve, there’s really no need for us to become adversaries. Consider this: if you still desire to obtain the Sifang Baozhuang, then we would be enemies. But think about it differently; if I manage to quietly take the Sifang Baozhuang today, what would that mean for you? It could actually work in your favor.”

“In my favor?” Steve was momentarily taken aback. His anxiety had dulled his usual quick thinking and judgment.

Charlie Wade continued, smiling, “Didn’t your father say that whoever brings back the Sifang Baozhu will be the first heir? But consider this: if no one retrieves the Sifang Baozhu, doesn’t that leave you still in line to succeed?”
