Chapter 687
The next day, early in the morning.
After getting up, Xiao Ran turned on the TV as soon as possible and tuned to the news channel.
The night passed.
The Wang supporters who besieged Capitol Hill did not immediately start a riot.
Most of them are still blocking the streets around Capitol Hill, blocking most of the streets.
Some of these guys left Capitol Hill, presumably looking for a place to eat and rest.
Several streets around Capitol Hill have been turned into camps for protesters, with camping tents and campervans everywhere.
Every street was a mess and littered with garbage, as if it had just been hit by a hurricane.
In those streets, there were military and police personnel with live ammunition everywhere, and the atmosphere on the streets was still very tense.
Seeing that the riot had not yet occurred, Xiao Ran suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.
He now needs to buy time with those crazy guys and take care of his business as soon as possible.
After reading the news report for a while, he walked into the gym and went to his morning exercise.
After a while, Elaine and Fang Yufei also woke up one after another and came over to practice in the morning.
Soon, the time had come to about seven-thirty in the morning.
After breakfast, Xiao Ran was talking to David and them to arrange today's affairs.
At this moment, Counselor Wang's call finally came.
Xiao Ran looked at the obvious, and then took the mobile phone out of the study and went to answer the phone.
When the phone was connected, Wang Zanzan's voice came immediately.
"Good morning, Xiao Ran, the matter of Air China's charter flight, as well as the matter of coordination with relevant domestic departments, have been completed
" "The Air China charter flight you want will stop at Philadelphia International Airport, and it is full of aviation fuel, and you can take off and return home at any time
" "A few comrades from the Philadelphia office, I will go to the art museum to meet you later, I will send you the relevant information
" "On the way home of this Air China charter flight, Embassies and consulates in various countries will pay close attention to the movement of the aircraft, you can rest assured of this"
Hearing this, Xiao Ran's face immediately burst into a bright smile.
The next moment, he smiled and whispered,
"Gotta go! I know that it is not wrong to ask you for help with something
" "Since the Air China charter flight has been completed, I will start the operation
" "This time the escort was accompanied by my employees and lawyers, as well as security personnel
" "In Beijing, I arranged for people to pick up the airport, including several old men from the Forbidden City and the National Expo"
Next, he briefly introduced the situation.
After chatting about business, they ended the call.
Immediately afterwards, Counselor Wang sent over the information of several diplomats in the Philadelphia office and Air China chartered flights.
Among them were two diplomats who accompanied chartered flights and escorted large quantities of antique art back to China.
Xiao Ran looked at their information before returning to the study.
After entering the study, he immediately said:
"Nick, you go and inform all the company employees, except for a group of guys who work with you, other employees can leave the hotel in batches
" "It's best for everyone to disperse and leave by car from the underground garage, the security team will drive in the garage to pick up and protect
everyone" "Let everyone take the special elevator of the presidential suite downstairs, the hotel monitoring system is currently under our control, don't worry about leaking whereabouts"
"The reason for this is to be safe, avoid those guys who are staring at us, today's actions must be strictly confidential
" "After leaving the hotel, everyone immediately rushed to Philadelphia International Airport, we will meet at the airport, then I will assign tasks
to everyone" Before the words fell, Nick immediately nodded excitedly and replied:
"Okay, Sean, I'll go inform everyone"
With that, the guy got up and left the study and went out to run errands.
When he left, Xiao Ran looked at David and Sam again.
"Sam, let's still leave the hotel by helicopter from the rooftop helipad like in the past few days
" "But after leaving this time, we won't go back here, let everyone bring all your luggage and equipment, and get ready
" "In addition, we have to leave two guys at the hotel, wait for us to arrive at the airport, let them handle some finishing work
" "Today we are going to escort a large number of top antique artworks to Philadelphia International Airport, security must be foolproof!"
Sam immediately stood up and nodded vigorously.
"Don't worry, Sean, leave these things to us, there will be no problems
" "I have sent some guys out, scattered on the way to the airport, staring at the situation along the way"
Xiao Ran nodded and continued to arrange.
Ten minutes later.
David and Sam left the suite together and went their separate ways.
Meanwhile.
Many company employees living on this floor walked out of their rooms one after another.
Pushing their suitcases, as well as some with exploration gear, they lined up toward the dedicated elevator for the presidential suite.
When they came to the elevator, they divided into several groups, took the special elevator downstairs in groups of three or five, and went straight to the underground garage.
In the underground garage, several security guards drove their cars, ready to pick them up.
Everything that happens here is in order, but the Four Seasons knows nothing.
In the hotel's monitoring room, two security guards on duty are napping back in their chairs.
On the monitoring screen in front of them, there was nothing out of the ordinary.
The top floor corridor where the presidential suite is located, calm as usual.
Occasionally, one or two figures would appear in that corridor and then walk into different rooms.
But who knows, it was surveillance footage from a few days ago, and now it's just video.
Within a while, many company employees had successfully evacuated.
Only Nick stayed with a group of people, ready to go to the art museum with Xiao Ran to do errands.
Soon, it was approaching nine o'clock in the morning.
Xiao Ran took Elaine and them, pushed their suitcases, and walked out of the presidential suite.
Sam and David, both ready to go, were waiting in the hallway.
Xiao Ran looked at them, then smiled and said: "
Guys, let's go, go to the art museum, and then leave Philadelphia,"
and they walked towards the stairwell.
David and they immediately followed, ready to leave by helicopter.
Nick, along with the rest of the security staff, walked to the elevator and prepared to take the car in front of the hotel.
They also have the task of confusing everyone inside and outside the hotel.
Five or six minutes later, two medium-sized helicopters parked on the roof of the hotel roared into the sky one after another.
Nick, who walked out of the hotel door, also boarded the bulletproof SUVs parked in front of the hotel.
Seeing this scene, everyone who was guarding inside and outside the hotel did not feel the slightest strangeness.
Especially the eyeliner of all kinds of people, no abnormalities were found.
In the past few days, they have seen this scene many times and have long been used to it!
But how did they know that Xiao Ran would never return here if he left the hotel this time!
As he spoke, the two medium-sized helicopters in the air had whistled away and flew straight to the art museum not far away.
The convoy on the ground did the same, heading straight for the museum.
Soon, they had flown to the art museum.
The two medium-sized helicopters then began to descend and eventually landed in the museum's internal parking lot.
A few minutes later.
Xiao Ran took Elaine and them into the lobby on the first floor of the museum, where they joined Timothy and Peggy who were waiting here.
After meeting and saying hello, Xiao Ran suddenly said:
"Gentlemen, I have decided to leave Philadelphia today with my staff and all
the antique artworks" "The antique artworks stored in the vault will be shipped to Los Angeles and Beijing respectively
" "Some unfinished art transactions can only be completed later, in fact, there is no difference
" "After leaving Philadelphia, I am going to New Haven and Boston, Extract antique art stored in these two places
" "My series of transactions with the Gardner Museum and the Harvard University Museum, etc., can be done in Boston
" "Ah!"
Peggy and Timothy exclaimed in unison, and they were all stunned!
Frank and Scott, who were also at the scene, were also stunned.
Immediately afterwards, the faces of these two guys showed a sudden look, and there was a little unwillingness in their eyes.
The next moment, Timothy asked in amazement
, "Sean, why did you suddenly think of leaving Philadelphia?"
"Aren't there still some deals that haven't been completed? What happened?
Xiao Ran looked at this guy, and then said with a smile:
"What happened in Washington from yesterday to today, everyone must
be very clear" "If the situation continues to deteriorate so that it is out of control, it is not difficult to guess what consequences will
be triggered" "Philadelphia is very close to Washington, and it is a very key core swing state, once something happens, it will definitely be affected
" "It is with this in mind, That's why I decided to lead the team out of Philadelphia immediately, so as not to have any accidents
" "As for those unfinished transactions, they can be completed in Los Angeles without any impact"
Hearing his explanation, Timothy and Peggy were stunned.
Immediately afterwards, Timothy gritted his back teeth and whispered:
"What happened yesterday in Washington, of course, we know, is a bunch of brainless fools!"
"You're right, Sean, if the situation continues to deteriorate like this, Philadelphia will inevitably be affected and plunged into chaos
" "It is indeed a wise choice for you to choose to leave with those antique works of art at this time, and I personally
support it" Immediately after, Peggy also nodded in support.
From his point of view, of course, he hoped that Xiao Ran would immediately leave Philadelphia and go to Boston.
You know, the top antique artworks stolen from the Gardner Museum are still in Xiao Ran's hands!
The deal between them was not completed, but they were ready to return to Boston to make another deal.
As for Frank and Scott, they quickly exchanged glances, and then nodded in unison.
Seeing that no one from all parties to the cooperation objected, Xiao Ran immediately smiled and nodded.
"Gentlemen, thank you for your understanding and support, and I am very happy to cooperate with you
" "Next, I will take someone to the vault, bring out all the antique artworks, and then transport them to the airport
" "No problem, Sean, we will cooperate with your actions"
Timothy nodded and said.
Frank, who had another set of vault codes, could only nod in agreement.
As he was talking, Sam's voice suddenly came from the intercom headset.
"Sean, a few Chinese came outside, saying that people from the Philadelphia office of the Chinese Consulate General in New York, they asked me to inform
you" "In addition to them, there are several museum directors, as well as two art dealers, who also want to see you and talk about transactions"
While the words fell, Xiao Ran had already stepped aside.
Then he turned on the walkie-talkie microphone and whispered
, "Receive, Sam, let them wait a minute, I'll meet them later."
