Siheyuan's Silly Pillar has been replaced by someone else

As it turned out, He Yuzhu's choice was wise. The operation went undetected.

He stayed in New York for a few more days, but there was no response from the Federal Reserve.

After finishing up his work with the film crew, He Yuzhu used the excuse of traveling to take a trip around the United States.

"Xiao Yang, how's the investigation into the US military production sites that I asked you to investigate going?"

After arriving in the United States, He Yuzhu sent Yang Yutao to investigate these places.

The locations of most of these factories are not secrets and generally do not require special investigation.

Yang Yutao took out a piece of paper and handed it to He Yuzhu. It contained the locations of some factories.

He Yuzhu took it, glanced at it, and noticed that there were quite a few factories in the eastern coastal area.

"Since we have nothing to do, let's travel around the United States."

He Yuzhu's first stop was New Jersey, where Lockheed Martin's military electronics factory is located.

This military electronics factory produces radar for the U.S. Navy's Aegis Combat System.

The two spent a day in New Jersey, where He Yuzhu obtained some radar design blueprints.

Then they went to other places in the same way.

To avoid arousing suspicion, He Yuzhu did not take action in every place.

After wandering around for a while, news of the mysterious thief filled the headlines in the United States.

Yang Yutao had been following He Yuzhu, and although he had no evidence, he had his suspicions.

He Yuzhu let him follow, naturally trusting that he wouldn't betray him. But He Yuzhu wouldn't tell him about this.

There are some things you can do, but you can never say.

Yang Yutao was sensible and strictly adhered to the confidentiality regulations, not asking a single question.

The two of them then returned to Los Angeles.

Lawrence reported the gold disposal plan to He Yuzhu. He did not dispose of all of it, but only one-fifth. The remaining gold was deposited in a bank and used as collateral to obtain a loan from the bank.

"Boss, the current price of gold is too low. I don't think it's worth it. I plan to sell it gradually."

Before he arrived, He Yuzhu had been reading the newspaper. The newspapers were all reporting on the theft of military factories, but there was no news of the theft of the Federal Reserve.

It's unclear whether the Federal Reserve failed to notice or was preventing the media from reporting it.

Lawrence's handling of the situation gave He Yuzhu an unexpected surprise.

He had his gold in the bank before the Federal Reserve's theft.

With this time difference, the gold would not be suspected.

As for whether Japan would have any suspicions, He Yuzhu didn't care. Even if Japan did have suspicions, they wouldn't be able to provide any evidence.

He Yuzhu asked tentatively, "I thought you would put it in the Federal Reserve."

Lawrence shook his head and said, "Although most of the gold in the United States is shipped to the Federal Reserve, we don't have a lot of gold."

There's no need for that.

Judging from his tone, it seems he was unaware of the theft at the Federal Reserve.

Since that's the case, He Yuzhu doesn't need to care, lest it arouse suspicion.

"You're the professional, so I'll leave everything to you. Anything new lately?"

Lawrence took a sip of the tea brewed by He Yuzhu and praised, "Boss, this is the most delicious tea I've ever had."

"I'll bring you some later." The tea leaves were all treated with spiritual spring water, so the taste was naturally superb.

Lawrence's eyes lit up, and he began to gossip: "The most talked-about topic right now is naturally the theft case being discussed in the newspapers."

Good heavens, I really can't imagine that so many great thieves would appear in the great United States.

I even think that only God could do this.

That master thief was incredibly skilled; he managed to steal a navy submarine without a sound.

He Yuzhu, who had been watching the commotion, became somewhat angry after hearing these words.

This is a slander against him.

Although he had considered stealing the submarine, he couldn't find it at all, not even the blueprints.

"That's impossible. Who would have the ability to steal a submarine?"

Lawrence said, "I think so too. But you know, that's what everyone in the newspapers and those in the military and business world are saying. Although everyone knows they're lying, nobody can produce any evidence."

I'm pretty sure it was a conspiracy orchestrated by those military industry officials and high-ranking officers.

Their goal is simply to clean up their own mess.

Think about it, it's somewhat plausible that they said they lost the design drawings.

But so many materials were also lost.

This is simply impossible.

My only regret now is that I didn't receive the news beforehand.

I need to get advance notice so I can short those military and industrial stocks.

Then I can make a fortune.

These words seem very tempting.

He Yuzhu was somewhat tempted. However, he quickly gave up on the idea.

Given the magnitude of the missing blueprints, the US intelligence agencies are certainly conducting a full investigation.

If a Chinese person like him were involved, he would definitely be suspected.

"Lawrence, I have to remind you, these things can't be said outside."

"If the intelligence agencies find out, no one can save you."

"Damn it. This is the free United States, where there is freedom of speech."

Even with that said, Lawrence dared not continue.

Although everyone doubted the authenticity of those messages, the US intelligence agencies were indeed taking action and had already arrested many spies.

"Okay, thanks for reminding me, my boss. Those intelligence agencies are like madmen, arresting people everywhere."

I feel like I've gone back to the era of slave owners.

He Yuzhu feigned curiosity and asked, "Then, I want to know, have they caught the real murderer?"

Lawrence shook his head: "No. I got a tip that the intelligence agencies suspect your country."

He Yuzhu was taken aback and asked, "Why? Shouldn't they suspect Japan and the Soviet Union?"

Lawrence said, "This is all because of that gold in your country."

If he hadn't already…

He Yuzhu felt a pang of sadness. He had felt guilty for a long time after hearing the news.

"This is slander. Our country is still very poor and could not possibly plan such a large-scale operation in the United States."

Lawrence thought He Yuzhu was scared, so he comforted her, "Boss, you don't need to explain, I know."

The only one capable of orchestrating such a large-scale operation is that bear in Europe.

It must be said that Lawrence was very well-informed, and he revealed a lot of information that He Yuzhu did not know.

He Yuzhu's actions this time really hit America where it hurts.

He acquired several of the latest American technologies, including the most advanced fighter jet—the F-117 Nighthawk attack aircraft.

This was the world's first fighter jet designed entirely with stealth technology, and it entered service in 1983.

Despite having been in service for three years, it remains a technology that requires a high degree of secrecy.

Fearing that Lawrence might be suspicious, He Yuzhu changed the subject to the company's business.

Lawrence complained that he had just bought some military-industrial stocks, but because of the theft, he lost them all.

"Boss, this was an accident. Don't worry, I'll make up for the money I lost very soon."

He Yuzhu comforted her, "It's alright. Making money and losing money are normal in business."

With He Yuzhu's comfort, Lawrence's expression improved considerably, and he continued to introduce the company's affairs.

Through Lawrence's introduction, He Yuzhu learned about the company's situation.

Overall, the investment company is on the right track.

Lawrence wanted to expand the investment, and He Yuzhu didn't stop him. (End of Chapter)
