Picking up Leaks in live broadcast: There are Treasures Everywhere in my Eyes - Chapter 860
Chapter 862
It was not until twelve o’clock in the afternoon that Xiao Ran left the French village and went to another small town nearby to continue exploring another house of the Lu Qinzhai family.
When he left here, he took nothing with him, including the “Poet’s Inspiration” by Poussin, the founder of French classicism.
In Louis’s eyes, it was just a copy, not of much value at all.
When he turned back to sell the villa, he would not take the painting with him, but would leave it in the villa.
Since this is the case, Xiao Ran does not need to make a move now.
That might be self-defeating and arouse Louis’s suspicions.
In several other villas adjoining him, he did not find similar top-quality antique art.
But more than five meters underground in one of the villas, a very secret underground tunnel was found, leading directly to the country house of the Lu Qinzhai family.
After some understanding, Xiao Ran learned.
The location of the villa where the underground tunnel was discovered was originally a barn in the manor.
It is inferred from this that the secret passage hidden deep underground is most likely an escape secret passage built by Lu Qinzhai.
As a top antique dealer and billionaire, and having just experienced World War II, it is normal for Lu Qinzhai to build escape tunnels in his manor.
It’s just that this escape secret passage did not come in handy and was completely abandoned.
Before leaving Paris and moving to Cannes, Lu Qinzhai completely buried and sealed this escape tunnel.
When he died, his descendants sold the barn land, and the secret passage was completely silent until now.
The discovery of this secret passage made Xiao Ran more determined to buy all the villas here.
And these villas are not expensive, even if they are all bought, they will not cost much, but the returns are extremely amazing.
Not long after, Xiao Ran had already driven to the next target location and immediately began to explore.
In the blink of an eye, it was around three o’clock in the afternoon.
Xiao Ran, who completed the exploration task, drove back to the Boulevard Saint-Germain where the hotel was located.
But he did not go directly back to the hotel, but found an opportunity outside to join Elaine and them.
When he got into the bulletproof SUV, Elaine immediately asked curiously:
“Honey, tell me about your gains, have you found any surprises?”
Xiao Ran looked at her, then smiled and nodded.
“In the country house of the Lu Qinzhai family and several villas around it, I did have some discoveries” “Although those discoveries did not necessarily point to the batch of antique artifacts and works of art that Lu Qinzhai hidden, they were enough to make me make a decision
” “I decided to buy the country house of the Lu Qinzhai family, as well as several other villas around it, and then explore further
” ”
Another point, the scenery of that countryside is very good, It’s also nice to buy those country houses and use them as holiday homes,”
he said, undisguised as he introduced the situation.
But he did not say anything about the discovery of the “Poet’s Inspiration”, let alone the discovery of the underground structure.
At the same time as he briefed the situation, the convoy was also heading towards the hotel.
After a while, the convoy had returned to the hotel.
Xiao Ran, who took Elaine and them got out of the car, to restore his appearance without the slightest flaw.
It’s just that no one knows when he left the hotel.
Seeing them return, the media reporters guarding the door of the hotel immediately flocked to the hotel and began to conduct interviews.
“Good afternoon, Mr. Sean, I’m a reporter for France TV
” “What are you going to do with the Portrait of Polina that you found yesterday?” Do you want to collect it yourself, or sell it?
“There’s a lot of interest in this one-of-a-kind painting, can you show it publicly?”
A beautiful reporter asked loudly.
Without waiting for Xiao Ran to respond, another reporter asked:
“Good afternoon, Mr. Sean, I am a reporter for Le Parisien” ”
The series of fires that occurred in the 10th arrondissement last night, is it related to you?”
Xiao Ran stopped and looked at these media reporters, and then said aloud with a smile:
“Good afternoon, dear media reporter friends, I haven’t thought about how to deal with “Polina’s Portrait” yet”
“When I think and make a decision, it will be announced to the public, everyone give some patience and wait a little longer
” “As for the series of fire incidents that occurred in the 10th arrondissement last night, we did not participate, which the Paris police can prove”
Saying that, he raised his hand and gestured at several Paris SWAT officers not far away.
He then ended the interview and walked into the hotel with Elaine.
When they returned to the presidential suite on the top floor, Ryoko had already returned to the hotel, and immediately came to report with today’s loot.
As soon as he entered the door, this guy said with a fluttering eyebrow:
“Xiao Ran, the few paintings and a few antique furniture you asked me to buy were successfully taken by me, and at a very low price
” “Lu Qinzhai’s great-granddaughter Madame Hennyar seemed to be eager to get rid of these paintings and antique furniture, and agreed to my offer without much consideration
” “According to your instructions, in order to avoid attracting attention, those few antique furniture were sent to Pierre’s house, I’ll only bring back a few paintings,”
he said, and the guy handed over a few paintings in his hand.
Xiao Ran reached out and took a few paintings and nodded appreciatively.
“Well done! It seems that your kid has a bit of acting talent, and it’s really buried if you don’t go to Hollywood!
“Let me see if these paintings are the same as I suspected, you tell me about Mrs. Henyar and their situation”
After a few jokes, Xiao Ran pulled out a picture scroll and slowly unfolded it, ready to admire it.
Elaine and Fang Yufei, who had washed and disinfected, immediately came over and prepared to enjoy it together with great interest.
Meanwhile, Ryoko continued to present the situation.
“Madame Hennyar, they agreed to sell the Red House in Paris, as well as some other real estate of the
Lu Qinzhai family, including the country house, etc.” “Listening to the communication and status between them, these descendants of Lu Qinzhai seem to sell assets because of the conflict between the division of family property”
Hearing this, Xiao Ran shook his head helplessly.
“This thing is normal, as far as I know, these descendants of
Lu Qinzhai, there is very little horizontal contact, and the feelings are very weak” “This kind of division of family assets is estimated to have happened many times in the Lu Qinzhai family, and this is only one of them” “But this is good, we can take this opportunity to acquire these real estate of the Lu Qinzhai family, and see if we can find a bigger surprise”
Xiao Ran had already unfolded the scroll in his hand.
The picture scroll he opened was exactly Zhang Daqian’s splash painting, but it was not signed by the author.
The painting depicts a picture of a fishing boat fishing at night.
The painting techniques used are based on traditional ink landscape and absorb the relationship between light and color in Western painting, which is very innovative and has a strong visual impact.
Although it was not the first time to see this painting, seeing it again at this time and taking it for himself, Xiao Ran’s eyes were still full of surprise.
In an instant, he was attracted by this splash of color and admired it intently.
At this moment, Liangzi suddenly asked curiously:
“Xiao Ran, which master’s work is this splash painting, and is the value very high?”
“There is no author’s signature on this painting, and the curator of the exhibition does not care about this painting”
Hearing this, Xiao Ran couldn’t help but laugh proudly.
“I can’t see gold and jade! This splash is Zhang Daqian’s work, worth at least 150 million yuan!
With his words, the scene immediately resounded with exclamations.
“I’ll go! 150 million RMB, when I bought this painting, I only spent 5,000 euros!
Ryoko exclaimed directly, her eyes round.
