Picking up Leaks in live broadcast: There are Treasures Everywhere in my Eyes - Chapter 290
Chapter 290
Five or six minutes later.
Marcus and his lawyer had entered the presidential suite and sat down on a couch in the living room.
Only Xiao Ran and David were talking with them, and Elaine chose to avoid them.
After sitting down to chat a few words, everyone got down to business.
“Sean, after leaving here last time, I asked my men to go around to inquire about
the treasure map and treasure” “A few days later, one of my guys heard that a collector in New Haven had a treasure map in his hand, which is said to be more than two hundred years old
” “So I took someone to New Haven and bought this treasure map for money, hoping to end the grudge between us” ”
According to the collector, This treasure map is from the Revolutionary War and was buried before the defeat of the British colonists
” “The location of the buried treasure should be in Old Boston, but no one has found this treasure for more than 200 years”
Markus took out an oak box, put it on the coffee table and pushed it over.
There was something in that box, and Xiao Ran could see it clearly as early as when these two guys entered the suite.
Inside the box is indeed a parchment map that is more than 200 years old, and it looks like a treasure map.
Whether the treasure pointed to by this treasure map really exists is unknown.
You won’t know the answer until you explore Boston.
As for the treasure map, Marcus bought it from the collector, or stole it.
It didn’t matter, and Xiao Ran didn’t care.
Even if it is snatched, the collector of New Haven does not dare to pursue it, the other party is a mafia!
Now that lawyers on both sides are present, even if they are in trouble, they cannot implicate themselves.
Xiao Ran nodded slightly, and then said with a smile:
“I didn’t expect you to be so efficient, Marcus, I was a little surprised
” “Let me take a look at this treasure map, I hope it
is a surprise” “If the treasure map is real, the grudge between us can be written off”
Said, he took out a pair of prepared gloves and put them on his hands.
Then he took the oak box and looked at it carefully.
Make sure the box is okay, and then gently open the wooden box.
Seeing this scene, Marcus and his lawyer were stunned for a moment, and the jealousy in their eyes became stronger.
This bastard is too cautious, no one wants to calculate him, only the part of being calculated by this bastard.
Just as they were secretly complaining, Xiao Ran had carefully taken out the sheepskin map placed in the oak box and unfolded it on the coffee table.
It is a crudely crafted parchment map with irregular polygons about the size of two sheets of A4 paper combined, neither of which has neatly cropped edges.
From the appearance alone, it is not comparable to the parchment scroll found by Songshizhai in San Francisco, one in the sky and one in the ground.
However, this parchment map is in good condition and has no damage.
Due to its age, this parchment map has long been yellowed, but fortunately it has not been mothed, but has a little more sense of historical vicissitudes.
The pattern drawn on it, although a little blurry, is still recognizable.
It’s a pity that the map is very sloppy, like the graffiti of elementary school students, and even inferior.
As you can see, on the far right of the map, there are several sailing ships flying the British flag.
There is also abbreviated text, which unmistakably says Boston Harbor.
Boston Harbor is the starting point of the treasure route, which also explains the origin of this treasure map.
From there, a bolded treasure route meandered into downtown Boston.
On both sides of this treasure route are patterns and texts used to represent streets and mountains, as well as rivers.
There are also several crooked houses, and the painting style is very rough.
At the end of the treasure route is a house in the center of the map.
Next to the house are two wooden chests full of gold and silver treasures, which are very eye-catching, unlike other houses on the map.
Obviously, the crooked house is where the treasure is.
And in the margin in the upper right corner of this parchment map is written the name of a person, F. Wallace.
Xiao Ran briefly checked the so-called treasure map, and then looked at the two mafia bosses in front of him.
“According to my identification
, this is indeed a treasure map from the Revolutionary War, and the treasure location on the map is indeed Boston” “But whether this is a real treasure map, or a prank by someone during the Revolutionary War, remains to be verified
” “What else did the New Haven collector find about this treasure map?” I’d love to know about it”
Hearing that the treasure map was indeed from the Revolutionary War, Marcuston secretly breathed a sigh and felt a little remorseful.
Next, he began to explain what he had learned.
The New Haven collector was actually a professor of history at Yale University.
About six years ago, he found the treasure map at a flea market in New Haven and sold it.
After buying the treasure map, he studied it carefully.
Apart from determining that the treasure map was indeed from the Revolutionary War period, there were no surprising discoveries.
He consulted a large number of historical documents and found out the true identity of the maker of this treasure map, that is, Wallace.
That guy was the first mate on a British Navy battleship who died near Boston during the Revolutionary War and that’s it.
In search of this unknown treasure, the Yale history professor visited Boston no less than twenty times.
In Old Boston, he explored every possible place.
Nothing was found, and each time I was disappointed.
Five or six years have passed.
He has lost the passion to continue exploring this treasure, and the treasure map is shelved.
It wasn’t until this time that Marcus brought someone to the door that he transferred the treasure map to these mafia scum.
As for whether he is willing or not, it is estimated that only he himself knows.
After listening to Marcus’s introduction, Xiao Ran couldn’t help but fall silent.
After a moment, he smiled and said:
“Marcus, after my appraisal, coupled with your introduction, it is basically certain that this treasure map is indeed true
” “In that case, I will keep my promise, and the beam between us will be revealed
” “From now on, our well water will not violate the river water, I hope that nothing unpleasant will happen again”
The words did not fall, and Marcus’s eyes immediately flashed with surprise, I was also completely relieved.
Immediately afterwards, he nodded hurriedly and said
, “That’s great, Sean, you really are a man of his promises!”
“It’s a pity that we belong to two different worlds, otherwise I really want to be friends with you”
To the compliment of this mafia boss, Xiao Ran just smiled, didn’t take it seriously at all, left ear in and right ear out!
Neither he nor Marcus wanted to have anything to do with each other anymore!
Marcus is right, they are people from two worlds, and it is impossible to be friends!
After settling the grudge, the two mafia bosses immediately got up to leave.
Now they are being targeted by the FBI, they are in trouble, and they don’t want to spend more time here for a moment.
Just as he was leaving, Marcus suddenly remembered something and pretended to ask casually:
“Sean, I want to ask, does the legendary $200 million bounty fund really exist?”
“If it exists, our grudge has been revealed, can we remove your bounty list?”
This guy asked in a joking tone, but the meaning of the words could not be more obvious.
Xiao Ran listened very clearly, but smiled indifferently.
“Marcus, since you are not my enemies, you don’t have to care about this problem
” “Whether the $200 million bounty fund really exists has nothing to do with you, you don’t have to worry!”
Hearing this, Marcus and his lawyer rolled their eyes helplessly.
Can you not care?
That’s the Sword of Damocles! Who is not afraid?
Seeing Xiao Ran’s ambiguous attitude, Marcus they could only leave and leave, how dare they ask?
All they could do was tell all their subordinates repeatedly.
In the future, stay away from this crazy and ruthless guy, the farther away the better, you must not provoke!
As soon as the suite door closed, David immediately asked curiously
, “Sean, are you going to Boston to explore this treasure?”
Without the slightest hesitation, Xiao Ran immediately gave an answer.
“The treasure buried by the British colonists during the Revolutionary War, it sounds a little interesting, since you got this treasure map, of course, you can’t miss this opportunity
” “When things are over here in New York
, let’s go to Boston together to see if we can find this treasure, I also want to travel to Boston” “Before going to Boston, let’s go to Yale first, I want to meet the Yale history professor and discuss with him about this treasure map”
“I don’t have much hope of finding this treasure buried by the British colonists, this treasure map is too rough, and too many people know!”
“At that time, we will keep it as secret as now, it is basically impossible, whether we can find this treasure, it can only depend on luck!”
As they spoke, they returned to the living room.
At this time, Elaine and the girls also came down from upstairs.
Xiao Ran briefly introduced the situation to them, and then locked the treasure map into the safe.
After that, he left the hotel with Elaine and David and went to the auction as planned.
