Picking up Leaks in live broadcast: There are Treasures Everywhere in my Eyes - Chapter 687
Chapter 689
Two days later, in the afternoon, Boston.
Xiao Ran and his group came out of the Gardner Museum and prepared to take the car back to the hotel.
Just now, they successfully completed the deal with the Gardner Museum.
Of the 13 antique works of art stolen from the Gardner Museum in 1990, half have been returned to the museum.
The other half of the antique artworks, including Vermeer’s “Concert”, fell into Xiao Ran’s hands.
Peggy and the Gardner Museum originally wanted to exchange for the half of the antique artwork, but Xiao Ran refused.
Whether it is Vermeer’s “Concert”, Degas’s “Dance Studio” and so on, Xiao Ran is ready to collect it himself.
In desperation, Peggy and they could only choose to exchange a few unowned stolen artworks.
Among the unowned stolen antique works of art include several works by masters such as Poussin and Goya.
The Gardner Museum paid more than $100 million.
The top antique artworks that had been on display at the Yale University Art Gallery were retrieved yesterday.
After arriving in Boston, Xiao Ran immediately deposited those treasures into the bank vault.
When the Boston affairs are completed, all the antique art and gold and silver treasures stored in Boston will be shipped to Beijing and Los Angeles respectively.
After coming out of the Gardner Museum, Xiao Ran shook hands with Peggy and the others to say goodbye, and then took Elaine and them to the bulletproof SUV parked at the door.
The convoy then started and slowly drove away from the Gardner Museum.
At this moment, Sam’s voice suddenly came from the walkie-talkie.
“Sean, you guys use your mobile phones to surf the Internet, as you expected, there is indeed a riot in Washington, and it is very serious
” “The protest demonstrators who gathered near Capitol Hill broke through the police blockade and rushed directly into
the Capitol” “It is said that the scene is very chaotic, and several people have been killed, those crazy guys have occupied the Capitol
” “The ongoing election results certification process in Congress has been suspended, The councillors were evacuated or hid in underground fortresses” ”
Ah!”
Xiao Ran and Elaine exclaimed in unison, and they were both startled.
The next moment, a look of schadenfreude flashed in Xiao Ran’s eyes.
Elaine and Fang Yufei quickly took out their mobile phones and began to check the news on the Internet.
Xiao Ran smiled, then copied the walkie-talkie and said:
“Received, Sam, the riot really happened
” “This matter has nothing to do with us, let’s just watch the play”
After speaking, he also took out his mobile phone and began to check the relevant news reports.
At this time, social networks, as well as various news outlets, were full of news about the Capitol Hill riot.
Various pictures and videos from the scene of the riot have spread throughout the world in a blink of an eye.
Looking at the battlefield-like Capitol on the pictures and videos, Xiao Ran and Elaine were stunned and stunned.
Especially in the eyes of Xiao Ran and Fang Yufei, there was more of a gloating smile, which could not be hidden.
“These guys are so crazy that they dare to storm and occupy the US Capitol, isn’t this equal to rebellion!”
“If this continues, the whole United States may be in chaos, is the United States going to have another civil war?”
Elaine said with emotion, also a little frightened.
Hearing this, Xiao Ran suddenly laughed.
“Aren’t those crazy guys crazy! They actually dare to storm the US Capitol, waiting to be settled after the fall, it is estimated that they will be unlucky!
“It’s a bit surprising that American society is torn apart like this, and that Wang’s supporters are in such a situation, but it’s also interesting, isn’t it?”
As he spoke, Fang Yufei suddenly burst out laughing.
“Xiao Ran, Elaine, look at this picture, a group of protesters and demonstrations actually occupied
the office of Nancy’s crazy wife” “One of the old men is sitting on the office chair of the crazy old woman, and he has his legs on the desk, that’s called a comfortable!”
“This guy is even more crazy, directly carrying away the podium of the speaker of the House of Representatives, it’s just crazy, this is a carnival!”
Fang Yufei laughed while showing Xiao Ran and Elaine those photos on social media.
The moment they saw those photos, Xiao Ran and Elaine were a little stunned.
The next moment, they also burst out laughing.
After a while, Xiao Ran and they had returned to the hotel.
After entering the presidential suite, Elaine and Fang Yufei immediately rushed into the living room, turned on the TV, and went to watch the news report.
Unsurprisingly, all channels were broadcasting news of the Capitol Hill riot, and all of them were live.
The Capitol Hill and Capitol Building on the news screen are already a huge carnival scene.
Everyone who watched these news was stunned and couldn’t believe their eyes.
Of course, there are many guys like Xiao Ran who are afraid that the United States will not be chaotic, and they can’t wait to open champagne to celebrate immediately.
Xiao Ran put down the backpack he carried, read the news report for a while, and then walked into the study.
After entering the study, he immediately took out his mobile phone and began to call Counselor Wang.
The phone was connected in a blink of an eye, and Counselor Wang’s voice immediately came.
“Xiao Ran, there was a riot in Washington, and a large number of protesters and demonstrators directly rushed into the US Capitol, do you know this?”
“Of course you know, Uncle Wang, we have just seen the relevant news reports, but we didn’t expect that there would really be a riot
” “Those supporters who understand Wang are simply crazy!”
Xiao Ran said with a smile.
To be on the safe side, he didn’t gloat on the phone.
But in his words, there was such a smell.
Counselor Wang laughed softly, and then continued:
“Because of this riot, Washington and the surrounding areas should soon enter a state of martial law” ”
The atmosphere in other cities is bound to become tense, what are your arrangements next?”
Xiao Ran paused for a moment before giving the answer.
“Today I just finished the deal with the Gardner Museum and just returned
to the hotel” “According to the plan, tomorrow I will trade with the Harvard Museum, and the day after tomorrow is the MIT Museum
” “After the completion of these two art transactions, we are ready to leave Boston and return to Los Angeles
” “Now that the situation has changed, we have to hurry up, so as not to dream more at night””
Later, I am ready to contact these two university museums and strive to get together tomorrow to complete the transaction
” “This time there are many treasures that need to be sent back to China, Air China charter flights, but also trouble you, tomorrow night or the morning after tomorrow to take off,……”
Next, Xiao Ran briefly introduced the situation.
However, he also explained that the premise is that the US government will not temporarily ban flights because of the Capitol Hill riot.
Or so to speak, he was prepared to deal with these things before the U.S. government reacted and began a manhunt.
As for the Consulate General’s side, it is natural to cooperate fully and help him as much as possible.
After talking about business and making small talk, they ended the call.
Immediately afterwards, he called the director of the Harvard Museum and the director of the MIT Museum to discuss the deal.
These two old friends understand that the current situation is special.
They all agreed with Xiao Ran’s proposal to complete the transaction between each other as soon as possible.
After reaching an agreement, Xiao Ran agreed with them on the time and place of tomorrow’s transaction before ending the call.
He then called David and Sam over to discuss the next steps.
David and when they came in, he immediately got down to business.
“Sam, can you ask the guys to check if the FBI agents and police people who are guarding the hotel are still there?”
“There was a riot in Washington, I estimate that those guys downstairs have all withdrawn and went to guard key departments such as the city government and the capitol
” “If those guys withdraw, then tell the guys to immediately strengthen their vigilance so as not to be taken advantage of!”
Sam paused for a moment, then immediately nodded and said:
“Still thoughtful, Sean, those guys guarding downstairs, it is really possible to evacuate
” “As far as I know, there was a similar protest in Boston the other day, in front of the state capitol!”
“I’ll immediately ask the guys to check on the situation and strengthen their guard,”
and after that, he walked out of the study and went to assign the task.
Next, Xiao Ran said about trading in advance, leaving Boston as soon as possible and returning to Los Angeles.
After a while, Sam had returned to his suite and began to report on the outside world.
As Xiao Ran expected, the FBI agents and police officers guarding downstairs have disappeared.
Those guys all rushed to the state capitol and city hall to guard the key departments.
The atmosphere in Boston also became tense.
After determining this situation, Sam and they immediately stepped up their guard to prevent accidents.
After listening to the report, Xiao Ran nodded gently.
“Good job, we’ll be leaving Boston soon, it’s best not to do anything during this time
” “One more thing, I’m going to go out alone tonight to McCann’s half-sister’s house
” “Sam, you don’t have to come with me, don’t worry about my safety, I’ll be back at the hotel soon”
Hearing this, David and Sam couldn’t help but be stunned.
“Ah! McCann’s sister, is she also a art thief?
David asked in surprise.
Xiao Ran looked at him, and then explained:
“Whether McCann’s sister is a art thief, I am not sure, but this possibility exists
” “One thing is basically certain, McCann and Myers ransacked the Gardner Museum, McCann’s father should know
” “He may even be an insider, in this case, I think it is necessary to investigate McCann’s sister again to see if something can be found”
Hearing his explanation, Sam and David both nodded and didn’t say anything more.
But how do they know that this is just an excuse.
What’s more, McCann’s sister lives across the river in Cambridge!
