Chapter 526: Chapter 360: Can’t Defeat? Don’t Believe It!

Winston Family Home.

Sean was watching the news, feeling rather annoyed.

The mercenaries he had hired had planned to kidnap Zhu Yu and find out the whereabouts of the cultural relics.

If the law couldn’t do anything, he would do it himself!

However, he didn’t expect Zhu Yu and his team to be so strong that even a team of professional mercenaries couldn’t take them down!

Old Mr. Winston had returned from the hospital and was sitting in a wheelchair, slowly pushed out by the nurse.

Seeing Sean’s expression, Mr. Winston slowly said:

"You don’t accept it? You feel you’ve been wronged?"

"Yes!" Sean didn’t hide anything from his father and said angrily, "We clearly suffered losses, but now we can’t get a hold of Zhu Yu. I just don’t understand..."

"American law is made for the rich. As long as he can afford to pay, he can win a lawsuit..."

Old Mr. Winston saw it clearly: "Our connections are not enough. Chinese people in America, unless they abandon their ancestors and face, it’s difficult to truly integrate into their upper-class society..."

He sighed and continued:

"I originally wanted to take the opportunity of this donation to further elevate our Winston family’s status in New York, but now it’s unclear whether this move was good or not..."

Sean understood what he meant. The Metropolitan Museum was now blaming them, clearly not helping them.

In China, people would have been scolded for this, but here, it felt normal.

"But I’m still not content," said Sean. "Even if we don’t donate, having these items is a huge sum of money..."

"You can do what you think is right." This time, Mr. Winston didn’t stop Sean. "But you must ensure your own safety. I don’t want you to lose your life for the sake of several million dollars worth of items."

Sean was overjoyed. He had always kept his actions secret from his father for fear of his disapproval.

But now that Mr. Winston had agreed to his approach, he could proceed with better planning.

"Also, just this once. You must plan carefully next time, and if your attempts fail, don’t try again."

Mr. Winston warned: "Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me. If Zhu is the one who took the relics, he might tolerate you and be passive, but he won’t let you make do it over and over again."

Sean hurriedly nodded, but it was hard to say whether he would actually take it to heart.

Zhu Yu had remained quiet for a few days after the incident. The police and the other party were still watching closely, so he didn’t want to cause any more trouble.

Half a month had passed, and the after-effects of the incident had somewhat subsided.

One day, Robert called again.

"Zhu, are you interested in making another deal?"

Zhu Yu was a bit surprised:

"What do you mean by another deal?"

"This time, someone has provided information that a batch of cultural relics will be transported from Iraq to New York and placed in a private museum afterward. These items were acquired by a billionaire during the war. I think you might be interested in this..."

"No, no, no." Zhu Yu immediately refused, "Robert, I think you’ve got something wrong. I’m not particularly interested in these kinds of artifacts or events. My main focus is on the national treasures of our country.

For everything else, I have no interest."

Robert was slightly surprised. He felt that it was a pity but still tried to persuade Zhu:

"Zhu, you might not know, but the value of this batch of cultural relics is over a hundred million US dollars. Based on the intelligence I received, their security is not very strict. With your capabilities, you can totally pull this off..."

"No, no, Robert, you’ve got it wrong. There are some things that I must do, not because of strength or capability. But there are other things, even if I’m capable, I shouldn’t do."

Zhu Yu’s words made Robert realize that this job wasn’t possible.

After hanging up the phone, Robert sighed and dialed another number.

He relayed the same information to the other party.

To be honest, he had hoped Zhu Yu would take on this job, but Zhu Yu declined.

So, it was time for someone else to make this money.

"Really? Are you sure? If you’re sure, we’ll take this intelligence!" The other party was very excited!

Ever since the Americans began to continuously withdraw from the Middle East, the cultural relics from the area had become highly sought after in the US.

Of course, many Middle Eastern billionaires who had relocated here wanted to buy these items and bring them back.

The booming market gave birth to a large number of treasure hunters like Zhu Yu.

Robert sold the intelligence to the other party at three times the price.

As an intermediary, he was only responsible for relaying information. It was up to the intelligence receiver to judge the authenticity and deviation of the information.

After finishing this, Robert even purposely told Zhu Yu about it.

"I wish them success, then." Zhu Yu was actually a little tempted but decided against it after considering his current situation. It was better to keep a low profile nowadays.

"By the way, Zhu, I also have some information, though I’m not sure if it’s true, that I want to share with you."

"What information?" Zhu Yu didn’t expect Robert to be so talkative recently.

"Some people want to target your Chinese community. So, you better be careful... also, some people don’t want you to use the money you have earned in the Beautiful Country outside its borders. You understand what I mean?"

Zhu Yu immediately thought of the current international situation.

Thinking back to the extreme right-wing politicians’ speeches against China that he had heard in the news, he understood right away.

"So, Robert, if I want to buy some gold now, do you have any connections?"
