After saying hello, Elaine began to complain.
"Sean, you don't know that all kinds of people come to you and knock on your door almost every day these days."
"There are Los Angeles police, Chinese students and your classmates and friends, people from auction houses, professional treasure hunters, etc."
"It seems that I am still very popular. If I had known this, I should have come back earlier."
Xiao Ran said jokingly.
Elaine rolled her eyes angrily and said with lingering fear:
"These guys are pretty normal. There are also some guys who come to you in the middle of the night. They are not good people at first glance."
"At night, I heard noises in your room several times, which scared me so much that I didn't dare to sleep."
Xiao Ran's expression immediately changed, and then he shook his head helplessly.
"Hey! It seems that this apartment can no longer be lived in. We must move from here as soon as possible."
"Aren't there security guards downstairs in the apartment? How can you let those guys come in and out at will?"
David said in surprise.
"What can you ask a fat security guard in his fifties and weighing over 120 kilograms to do?"
"With his little salary, it would be great if he can help call the police if someone is found to have been burglarized."
Hearing what Xiao Ran said, David could only nod.
Then, he took out the key and handed it over.
After receiving the key, Xiao Ran did not open the door immediately, but quickly scanned the corridor and door.
Immediately afterwards, he took out his mobile phone and called Anthony downstairs.
The call was connected in an instant, and Anthony's voice came immediately.
"Sean, what's the matter? Do you need us to go up?"
"It's okay, but my apartment and corridors need to be thoroughly searched. I'm worried that there are surveillance probes or bugs installed by others here."
"Do you have corresponding exploration equipment? If so, bring a few over and search this place thoroughly."
Xiao Ran briefly explained the situation.
While saying this, he pretended to glance casually at the emergency lights on the corridor wall.
The first time he entered the corridor, he quickly looked through it.
Hidden in that emergency light was a pinhole camera, with the lens facing the door of his apartment, very hidden.
As long as he returns to the apartment, he will be discovered by the person who installed the camera immediately.
This is just one of the surveillance devices. There are several pinhole cameras and bugs hidden in other places in the corridor.
And inside the apartment, there must be more of this stuff.
Because of this, Xiao Ran asked Anthony to get some exploration equipment and scan the inside and outside of the apartment thoroughly.
"We have this equipment, Sean. I'll ask Sam to get the equipment right away. I'll be back soon."
"Since you have such concerns, don't enter the apartment first, in case there are other things in the apartment."
Anthony responded.
"Okay, you'd better get a complete set of equipment and put it in the car. Maybe you can use it at any time in the future."
"The cost of purchasing these equipment is all mine, and I have to buy the best equipment."
Xiao Ran warned, quite helpless.
"That's the best thing, just leave it to us."
Anthony responded and immediately hung up the phone.
Hearing that there might be pinhole cameras and bugs here, Elaine couldn't help but froze, somewhat frightened.
After waking up, she quickly glanced around, suspicious.
Then, she couldn't wait to ask:
"Sean, are there really pinhole cameras or bugs here? Isn't it a bit exaggerated?"
"You are just a professional treasure hunter who made a fortune, and you are not an agent. Do you need to use this method?"
Xiao Ran looked at the beauty and then shrugged.
"There's nothing I can do about it, wealth is so exciting! Windfalls from the sky can make people jealous to the point of jealousy!"
"Pinhole cameras and bugs can be easily purchased online, and the people who use them are not limited to military and police spies!"
Compared to Elaine, David was much calmer.
As a lawyer, he has seen too many such things and has long been accustomed to them.
"Be careful, Sean. Anyone can buy surveillance equipment now, and it's not difficult to use it."
"Elaine, given your relationship with Sean, I suggest that you also conduct a thorough search of this apartment."
"ah!"
Elaine exclaimed again and turned to look at her apartment, her eyes filled with fear and a bit of embarrassment.
If a pinhole camera was installed in my apartment, wouldn't I have been living under the prying eyes of others these past few days?
Even if there is a pinhole camera in the apartment, I hope there is not one in the bathroom.
Thinking of this, Elaine couldn't help feeling a chill and shivering uncontrollably.
Then, she nodded quickly.
"Okay, let's search my apartment thoroughly, otherwise I will never dare to live here again."
"I shudder when I think about someone hiding in the dark, watching me all the time."
"Don't worry, Elaine, this happened because of me, I will be responsible for your safety."
Xiao Ran said decisively.
Afterwards, the three of them stood in the corridor and waited.
David originally proposed to go to Elaine's apartment, but Elaine was still frightened and would rather stand outside than go back inside the apartment.
at the same time.
In some places in Los Angeles, several groups of guys from different backgrounds started yelling and swearing in unison.
"Fake! This bastard Sean is too vigilant, he deserves to die"
"The pinhole cameras and bugs we installed are about to be exposed. They are of no use and are a waste of effort."
While shouting and cursing, these guys looked frustrated and disappointed.
Through the footage captured by the pinhole camera, they clearly saw that Xiao Ran came back empty-handed.
This is enough to show that he has disposed of all the priceless top antiques, cultural relics and works of art.
It is no longer possible to loot those antiques, cultural relics and works of art.
Moreover, they also heard the conversation between Xiao Ran and Anthony and knew that he hired bodyguards, which made them even more disappointed.
These guys understand that they can no longer get any benefits from Xiao Ran, at least in the short term.
After working hard for several days, but waiting for such a result, those guys were very frustrated.
apartment.
Xiao Ran and the others were standing in the corridor chatting, but the sound was so low that only the three of them could hear it.
During this period, friends who lived in the apartment building kept coming over and asking Xiao Ran about his legends.
Xiao Ran greeted these guys politely, and took these opportunities to tell them.
The antiques, cultural relics and works of art that I had picked up had all been disposed of, leaving nothing behind for them to appreciate.
In fact, his words were not meant for his friends, but for the guys who were monitoring him.
During this period, several friends suggested that they want to attend the auction with him to broaden their horizons.
These guys' requests were all politely rejected by Xiao Ran.
He said he didn’t know when or where he would attend the next auction, so he couldn’t agree.
There are also several Chinese overseas student friends who want to join his live broadcast room.
These guys also want to hunt for treasure with Xiao Ran, hoping to buy some good things in the live broadcast room.
Xiao Ran also rejected these guys and told them that the live broadcast room had temporarily closed the access to join.
Only when the storm subsides completely will we consider opening the live broadcast room again.
While chatting, he also sent a message to Fang Yufei, asking her to be more careful.
Later, he will take Anthony and the others to the University of Southern California and help Fang Yufei do a safety check.
While talking, Anthony and the others came upstairs with the equipment.
After meeting, Xiao Ran immediately pointed to the corridor and said:
"Anthony, would you like to scan the corridor first and see if you can find anything?"
"After scanning the corridor, search Elaine and I's two apartments again. Search them thoroughly."
"After searching out all the possible surveillance equipment, you can help us arrange it to avoid being sneaked in again."
"Okay, Sean, leave these things to us."
Anthony nodded confidently.
Afterwards, Anthony and Sam got busy.
In the blink of an eye, the detectors in their hands made a chirping sound.
The first surveillance device they scanned was the pinhole camera hidden in the emergency lights.
