Duan Long quietly departed with the jewels, his figure seemingly fading into thin air. However, this was only the first step in their elaborate plan. Next, they planned to contact the Randolph family and exchange these precious jewels for the Chinese national treasures they had robbed.

If the Randolph family refused to exchange, they would cleverly reveal some flaws, allowing Hua Di to successfully seize the jewels. In this way, Hua Di would not only be able to make another contribution, but also put the Randolph family into a passive situation.

Randolph returned home exhausted from the police station. As he walked into his bedroom, he found an envelope on his bed. The envelope looked ordinary, but the contents inside made him nervous.

The handwriting on the envelope was concise and clear, just a few words, but it sent a chill down Randolph's spine. The letter instructed him to prepare the looted Chinese national treasures, and that he would be notified of follow-up matters later.

Randolph's hands trembled slightly as he stared at the envelope, pondering its meaning. He knew this was definitely not a simple request, and there might be a huge conspiracy behind it.

However, Randolph didn't tell the police about the envelope right away. He needed time to think and weigh the pros and cons. After all, this matter involved his family, and he couldn't make a decision lightly.

It was late at night, and everything was silent. Randolph lay in bed, unable to sleep. The scene of the jewelry robbery and the mysterious letter kept flashing through his mind.

He couldn't help but think about his own role and responsibility in this matter. Although he knew the jewels had a less than glorious origin, he also understood that this was not something he could decide alone. The family's interests and honor rested in his father's hands.

Randolph's father was the head of the family and his decision was crucial to the entire family. Randolph knew that only his father had the right to decide whether to exchange the jewels.

During this long night, Randolph's thoughts surged like a tide. He pondered silently in the darkness, trying to find a solution that would maximize his own interests, erase some of his corruption, and avoid getting into greater trouble.

After a night of hard thinking, Randolph still couldn't come up with a perfect solution to the problem. However, he knew time was running out and he couldn't delay any further. The stolen jewelry was not only worth over 300 million, but its future value was likely to rise further with time.

After a period of inner struggle and entanglement, Randolph finally decided to call his father in Rand. He told his father the whole incident in detail, but in his narration, he deliberately left a small loophole. This loophole allowed him to cleverly add some of the money he had embezzled to the list of losses.

Randolph's father's reaction on the other end of the phone was beyond his expectations. He did not show any obvious anger on the phone, but calmly asked Randolph to inform the family immediately if there was any new news.

Meanwhile, Wah Di and his team have been conducting an in-depth investigation into the jewelry robbery all day. They've meticulously analyzed every aspect of the case, raising particular suspicions about the transporter. After careful deduction and investigation, they believe one of the transporters is likely an insider for the robbers.

Therefore, today, Huadi and his team focused their efforts on identifying the Jockey Club escort company. They carefully reviewed the company's employee backgrounds, work processes, and security measures, hoping to uncover some clues and find the mole hiding in the shadows.

Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, a day had passed. Randolph was anxious and restless, because he had not received any news from the robbers from beginning to end. As time went by, his anxiety became more and more intense, as if an invisible hand was tightly grasping his heart.

Finally, in the afternoon, unable to contain his anxiety, Randolph called Deputy Police Commissioner Wood again. He urged the police to solve the case quickly and bring the robbers to justice. However, Wood's response disappointed him. He explained that the police had done their best, but the robbers were so professional this time that they had left almost no clues. Although the police were working around the clock, they still needed more time to solve the case.

After hearing Wood's explanation, Randolph's fury ignited. He hung up the phone in a rage, even slamming the receiver onto his desk. The phone shattered, a symbol of Randolph's shattered heart.

At eight o'clock in the evening, Randolph went to the living room to prepare for dinner as usual. However, when he returned to the bedroom after dinner, an unexpected discovery made his mood suddenly become heavy - he saw an envelope on the bedside table.

Randolph picked up the envelope with suspicion and slowly opened it. After unfolding the letter inside, his eyes were drawn to the words on it. After reading the contents of the letter, his face became more solemn and his brows furrowed tightly.

Without hesitation, Randolph immediately picked up his phone and dialed an international call to his father, who was far away in a foreign country. He heard his father's familiar voice on the other end of the line. Randolph took a deep breath and told his father the contents of the letter in detail.

After listening to this, his father was silent for a moment, then told Randolph that the family needed to hold a meeting to discuss the value of these jewels and those Chinese national treasures. After all, this was an important decision involving huge wealth and precious cultural relics, and they could not make a decision lightly.

At the same time, his father also told Randolph to continue to put pressure on the Hong Kong police to ask them to recover the stolen jewelry as soon as possible. In addition, his father said that he would use his royal family connections to put pressure on the Hong Kong side to ensure that the matter could be properly resolved.

After Randolph hung up the phone, he was still upset. He immediately called the police chief and solemnly reiterated his family's request and emphasized the Eagle Kingdom's royal family's high attention to this matter.

After finishing his call with the Police Commissioner, Randolph did not stop there. He immediately called the Governor, hoping that the Governor would put more pressure on the Hong Kong police force to speed up the case and recover the stolen jewelry.

Before going to sleep, Randolph lay in bed, his heart seemed to be burning with fire. He picked up his cell phone and dialed a number. He talked to the other party for nearly an hour.

During the call, Randolph elaborated on his views and plans for the incident in detail. He said he had decided to gain his own benefits from the incident, and although he did not have a perfect plan at the moment, he would take some actions to lay the groundwork and prepare.

He told the other party that he would observe the development of the situation and wait for the right opportunity to appear. Once the time was right, he would definitely not miss this good opportunity to make a fortune.

However, Randolph didn't know that while he was talking to the other party, every word he said at home and every call he made throughout the day were secretly recorded.

The next morning, when the first rays of sunlight streamed into the room, Randolph was still immersed in a sweet dream. Meanwhile, a detailed record had been placed on Li Wenbin's desk.

"Well done, Tianwen." Li Wenbin looked at Hu Tianwen with a smile, his eyes revealing affirmation and appreciation for his work. "Keep paying attention to him and don't let up at all. These foreigners are always self-righteous and think they are superior. This time we must teach them a profound lesson and let them know that we Chinese are not easy to bully!"

Hu Tianwen nodded, indicating that he understood his commander's intention, and then continued, "Commander, based on the intelligence we currently have, it seems that Randolph has some shady tactics that are unknown to the public. In that case, can we take advantage of this and do something about it?"

Li Wenbin thought for a moment, then waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, Tianwen. Your mission now is to closely monitor Randolph and ensure that his every move is under our control. Remember, it is crucial that he never realize that you are eavesdropping on him."

Hu Tianwen quickly responded, "Yes, sir, I will definitely be careful and cautious."

Li Wenbin nodded with satisfaction and continued, "Since Randolph wants to be the mantis, then we will be the oriole, observing his every move from the dark, waiting for the right moment to strike him a fatal blow."

Finally, Li Wenbin patted Hu Tianwen on the shoulder and encouraged him, "Don't worry, you guys are about to go to South Africa, and I will fully support you behind the scenes. When the time comes, I will definitely give you a satisfactory explanation." After that, Li Wenbin signaled Hu Tianwen that he could leave, and Hu Tianwen respectfully left the room.
