At midnight, in the living room.
Xiao Ran and David were sitting on the sofa, talking with a few guys from the FBI's Los Angeles branch.
The topic discussed by both parties was the riot that was taking place in Las Vegas and was in full swing.
In the small guest area by the swimming pool, Elaine and Fang Yufei were chatting with Swift, and the three beauties were chatting away.
As for Swift's boyfriend, he can only sit on the sidelines and listen.
The content of the chat between the three beauties was also about the Las Vegas riots that caught everyone's attention.
Although Elaine and the others had been staying in the presidential suite of the Venetian, it was also Las Vegas, and of course they were witnesses to the riot.
As witnesses, they vividly introduced the situation of the riot to Swift.
In this process, there are naturally a lot of exaggerated words and body movements mixed in.
As they were introduced, Swift and her boyfriend kept exclamating, with expressions of shock and even fear.
No need to ask, they were also frightened by what happened in Las Vegas!
In the living room, Xiao Ran and David were also briefing the FBI guys on the situation.
However, they spoke straightforwardly, without using any exaggerated tone or words, and tried to maintain an objective stance as much as possible.
In order to prove his innocence and clear away the suspicion on himself, Xiao Ran introduced in detail almost all the activities of his arrival in Las Vegas.
Even the conflict with the professional treasure hunters in New Mexico was introduced in detail and he did not hide anything.
He also briefly introduced the progress of the auction of expired mortgage items.
During the introduction, he fast forwarded and played the live video of the auction that Simon had just sent.
When the playback reached the point where he had a conflict with Donald and those guys, he paused for a moment and then played it back at normal speed.
The reason why he did this was to remove any suspicion on himself, completely stay out of the incident, and avoid attracting the attention of the FBI.
Listening to his introduction and looking at the video materials, the FBI guys fell silent.
Coupled with David's presence, even if they wanted to cause trouble at this time, they had no suitable excuse.
Unless they are willing to risk being accused and jailed, take Xiao Ran away by force, and go back to impose a crime on him.
After a while, Xiao Ran had finished introducing the situation.
"Gentlemen, no one wants to see the riots happening in Las Vegas."
"In order to avoid armed conflict with the professional treasure hunters in New Mexico, I rented three helicopters and left Las Vegas from the air."
"Who would have thought it would be a mistake, but these three helicopters actually allowed me to avoid bigger troubles and return to Los Angeles safely!"
Hearing this, several FBI agents nodded in unison.
They knew a little bit about how lucky Xiao Ran was.
But they never expected that his luck would be so good, it was a bit unbelievable!
After a pause, the guy leading the team said:
"Mr. Sean, it seems that you are very lucky and have managed to avoid a huge trouble."
"We are all aware of the things you mentioned, and we will investigate again later."
"If possible, I hope you can send us a copy of the live video of the auction, and we will study it carefully when we go back!"
Xiao Ran nodded immediately and agreed very simply.
"Of course, no problem. My lawyer will send you the relevant video materials. I hope it will be of some use."
"In fact, your colleagues in Las Vegas should have obtained the same video information from the Venetian Casino."
The expressions of several FBI agents changed slightly, and there was a hint of fear in their eyes.
What makes them afraid includes not only their colleagues in Las Vegas, but also David, a private lawyer.
After chatting for a few words, the agents stood up and prepared to leave.
At this moment, the leading detective suddenly asked curiously:
"I would like to ask, Mr. Sean, what do you plan to do with that precious land deed?"
Xiao Ran looked at this guy, then smiled and said:
“It shouldn’t be about how I handle it, but what we should do with this title deed.”
“That land deed was obtained through joint bidding with nine other professional treasure hunters in California.”
"So, on how to deal with that precious land deed, we need to consult other team members for their opinions."
"Under normal circumstances, we will deal with it based on the principle of maximizing profits, and we will sell to whoever bids the highest price."
"One thing is for sure, none of us will go to New Mexico to drill for oil and gas."
The FBI leader nodded slightly and didn't ask any more questions.
Afterwards, these guys said their goodbyes and left.
The next few days will be very busy for them.
They will probably be transferred to Las Vegas to investigate what happened in Las Vegas tonight.
When they walked out of the villa, several FBI agents frowned unconsciously when they saw the armed security guards guarding the door of the villa with live ammunition.
“This guy Sean is so cautious, there’s no chance he can take advantage of him!”
An agent in his thirties whispered.
"He has to be careful. Guys like him who get rich overnight and act in a high profile are the targets of almost all criminals."
"If he is not careful, he will be robbed in minutes and probably lose his life."
The team leader continued.
While talking, they had arrived at their respective cars, got in the car and left.
The entrance of the villa.
Looking at the FBI vehicles leaving outside the gate, Xiao Ran smiled and whispered:
"This is the first batch, so we've managed it."
"Next, I don't know how many people will come to investigate. It will be really troublesome."
David turned to look at him, and then continued:
"There will definitely be many people coming to investigate you, such as the police in Las Vegas and the FBI."
"But it doesn't matter. Just leave these guys to me. You don't have to worry."
Xiao Ran nodded slightly.
Then, the two of them turned and walked into the villa.
In the villa, there are two celebrities who are extremely curious.
As soon as Xiao Ran and the others entered the villa, Swifty couldn't wait to greet them.
Behind her were Yi Lian and Fang Yufei, who looked a little embarrassed.
Coming closer, Swift immediately said expectantly:
"Sean, I just heard from Elaine that you found a work by the surrealist art master Dali in Las Vegas. Can you let me see it?"
“I like Dali’s surrealist art very much and am a big fan of Dali”
"If that is really Dali's work, I hope you can sell that painting to me. The price is easy to negotiate."
Xiao Ran was stunned for a moment and did not respond immediately. Instead, he looked at Elaine in surprise.
"That's right, Sean."
"When I introduced the situation of the auction just now, I said that there were several surrealist paintings at the scene, and you took pictures of them all."
"It turned out that Swift said she liked surrealist art and wanted to appreciate those paintings and manuscripts."
"While we were talking, I accidentally let it slip that you had discovered a work by Dali."
Elaine explained why.
After listening to her explanation, Xiao Ran smiled and shook his head.
"It doesn't matter. We're back home now, not in Las Vegas."
"There is no need to keep it secret anymore. After daybreak, I will prepare to authenticate that Dali work."
"At that time, we must ask other appraisal experts for advice, and we can no longer keep it secret."
Having said this, he turned to look at Swift again.
"Taylor Swift, when the painting and painting manuscript are appraised tomorrow, you can come and appreciate that surrealist oil painting."
"As for whether to sell that painting to you, we will discuss it at that time."
"We haven't had a break for more than 20 hours, and we have been in a state of high tension. Everyone is very tired."
"Now we all urgently need to rest. In this state, it is impossible to accurately identify a top-notch work of art."
Swift was stunned, as if she couldn't believe it.
Someone would actually refuse his request in person, and so directly.
In the blink of an eye, she woke up again.
The extremely lucky guy in front of him is not his fan, but a super rich man with a net worth of more than one billion US dollars.
How could such a super rich man care about a superstar like himself?
Thinking of this, Swift's mentality suddenly calmed down.
"Okay, Sean, you guys have a good rest. When you have a good rest, I will come and appreciate Dali's work."
"It's just that I don't want to fall asleep again tonight. I can only keep my eyes open and wait for dawn!"
"Hahaha"
Everyone laughed.
After the laughter subsided, Xiao Ran said jokingly:
"Wouldn't it be nice if you can't sleep? You can use this time to write songs!"
"Such an eventful night may give you some inspiration to write a classic piece!"
