Remember the information Qiu Yuhong found about Ye Xuan earlier, one of the points was that he is very interested in antiques and relics, and he was in this business while at the border.
Marshall claims to have a complete interest chain in the antique trade, mainly focusing on Dragon Country antiques; the Ye Xuan he mentioned could very well be the same Ye Xuan from the Ye Family.
In the United States, it’s not illegal for politicians to trade in antiques and relics, but over in Dragon Country, it is illegal.
Especially given Ye Xuan’s special status, if he uses his position at the border to transport domestic antiques and relics abroad for profit, that would definitely be a crime with severe penalties.
Previously, Yang Chen mentioned that the Ye Family appears to be an unshakeable unit, investing in state-owned enterprises and such, making it impossible to bring them down economically. The only way is to attack personally, and Ye Xuan, who loves dealing in antiques, is their biggest flaw.
Jenny asked, "What’s up? Did you forget something?"
Yang Chen shook his head and said, "No, I just suddenly remembered something. It’s nothing. Let’s go."
Buffett and Gates dropped Yang Chen and Jenny off at the hotel entrance, then left.
Phillips wanted to chat with Jenny alone, so Yang Chen returned to the hotel room first.
Jenny coldly asked, "What do you want to talk about?"
Phillips replied, "Nothing much, just that Marshall wants to date you. Can you consider it?"
Jenny rolled her eyes and said, "What do you think? I have no interest in him at all. If he brings this up again, just reject him straight away. Anything else? If not, I’m going to sleep."
Phillips was very humble and didn’t dare to speak harshly to Jenny.
"No problem, go rest," Phillips replied.
Jenny nodded and turned to walk into the hotel.
Phillips smiled slightly, feeling very happy; he was no longer alone in this world as he had his child and the child’s mom.
Since his daughter was clear about having no interest in Marshall, Phillips decided not to consider it anymore.
Phillips called Marshall and clearly said, "Marshall, I’ve spoken to Jenny, and she’s not interested in you at all. So, don’t think about it anymore."
Marshall said, "That’s really a pity. I understand, I know what I should do."
Phillips replied, "Alright then. Let’s chat another time."
Marshall put away his phone, chuckling to himself, "She doesn’t even want to go on a date with me. I’m the governor’s son of New York State, what are you? The fact that I want to date you is a compliment; and yet, you’re not willing. Making money is the priority; I’ll woo you slowly once I’m done with my work."
...
Yang Chen called Qiu Yuhong, asking him to investigate whether there’s a connection between Marshall Kennedy and Ye Xuan.
If they’re connected, Yang Chen will have a way to deal with Ye Xuan.
Early in the morning, Yang Chen went to meet with the person in charge at Sotheby’s Auction House.
The system paid all the fees, and the auction house handed over the items to Yang Chen for verification and signed all the guarantee agreements, then the items were sent to the Shield Security Group branch in Brooklyn District to be handed over to the person in charge, Adams Silva.
Adams Silva received the items and immediately dispatched people to escort them to Dragon Country Sea City.
Since we’re in New York, we must visit Chinatown to see how our fellow compatriots are living here.
Chinatown isn’t far from the hotel where Yang Chen and the others are staying, in the expensive and scarce Lower Manhattan.
But don’t think that being in Manhattan means it’s prosperous and affluent; coming here reveals it’s no better than an eighth-tier small county in Dragon Country.
The buildings here are decades old, the streets are messy, and stalls are everywhere along the roadside.
Is it suitable for living here?
It’s quite suitable, as it’s full of local flavor.
But this is completely different from what most Dragon Country people imagine Chinatown to be.
However, this didn’t prevent Yang Chen and Jenny from enjoying themselves.
Here, just like back home, everyone communicates in Dragon Country language, and you can eat various local snacks from home, so they enjoyed an entire day of fun.
The next morning, Yang Chen and Jenny Hathaway returned home.
When Yang Chen woke up, Qiu Yuhong also reported back to him.
Marshall Kennedy is indeed a partner of Ye Xuan.
However, for now, they haven’t found any evidence of smuggling or other such activities between them.
Yang Chen instructed Qiu Yuhong to keep investigating; they must uncover their smuggling and other illegal activities.
If Marshall relies solely on legitimate buying low and selling high, there’s no way he could have amassed a $5 billion fortune by the age of 28.
Yang Chen concluded there must be some shady dealings involved, just not identified yet.
The trip to New York delayed them for several days.
After waking up, Yang Chen went out to drive passengers.
He’s not that interested in the negative review rewards anymore, but in special passengers.
As long as he can collect enough special passengers, he can open the Gate of Space-Time.
At half-past ten in the evening, after driving for several hours, Yang Chen felt a bit tired and planned to go home to sleep.
At this time, a woman stood in front of his car.
Yang Chen instinctively thought she was trying to scam him, and quickly said loudly, "Ma’am, my car has surveillance and a dashboard camera."
The woman quickly replied, "I’m not trying to scam you. I just saw a resident from my complex get out of your car. You must be driving for a ride-hailing service, right?"
