Facing the New York police armed with batons, the straggler-like Black Lives Matter activists were quickly dispersed, and many people were arrested.
Those guys were pushed to the ground and rubbed by the police, then tied with plastic restraints behind their backs and thrown to the sidewalk.
The traffic that had been stuck for a long time finally started to move.
Looking at the chaotic situation outside the car window, Xiao Ran smiled and shook his head.
"Watch, as the police crack down, these guys in the Black Lives Matter movement will definitely become even crazier."
"New York will become even more chaotic in the next period, and there will be something good to watch!"
"Yeah! You guys just watch the fun and don't mind it."
Fang Yufei complained with lingering fear.
As he spoke, the motorcade slowly passed the intersection ahead and headed towards Manhattan.
Compared to Queens, the situation in Brooklyn is slightly better, but it is also limited.
It wasn't until the convoy passed the Brooklyn Bridge over the East River and entered Manhattan that the situation suddenly changed.
Manhattan Island is very prosperous with tall buildings and busy traffic.
The streets are relatively tidy, and there are even fewer homeless people.
Seeing the scene outside the car window, Fang Yufei couldn't help but nodded.
"This is like the legendary New York. Compared with the two districts we just passed through, it's like two different worlds."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Ran immediately continued:
"We are entering Lower Manhattan, the most prosperous neighborhood in Manhattan."
“In order to maintain New York’s image as a prestigious world capital, the New York authorities will naturally work hard to maintain the situation here.”
"If we enter Manhattan Island from Harlem, where black people live, it will be a different story."
During the chat, the motorcade passed through the streets lined with high-rise buildings and soon arrived at the famous Fifth Avenue.
The motorcade then turned right and headed north along Fifth Avenue.
At this time, this world-famous commercial street and shopping paradise was also somewhat depressed.
Since there are no tourists, the famous brand luxury stores on the street seem much deserted.
Fortunately, there are no closures, which is relatively better than the situation in other places.
While the motorcade was traveling, everyone also witnessed a zero-yuan purchase.
An Apple store was robbed, and the robbers were black boys in their teens and twenties.
Everyone has become accustomed to this kind of thing and is no longer surprised.
The same goes for people on the street.
People just moved away with disgust on their faces, but no one tried to stop the robbery.
After a while, the motorcade arrived at the Plaza Hotel, located at the southeast corner of Central Park and adjacent to Fifth Avenue.
The hotel room Nick and the others booked was at the Plaza Hotel.
During their stay in New York, Xiao Ran and the others will stay in the most famous five-star hotel in New York and even in the United States.
The arrival of their group did not attract anyone's attention.
After a while, Xiao Ran took Yi Lian and Fang Yufei into the presidential suite on the top floor of the hotel.
As soon as he entered the suite, he turned on the perspective and quickly looked through the presidential suite.
This suite is relatively clean, and there are no hidden pinhole cameras or bugs.
The Presidential Suite of the Plaza Hotel often receives heads of state and dignitaries from various countries, as well as top wealthy people from all over the world.
Naturally, they dare not install monitoring and listening equipment in the suite. That would be tantamount to destroying their own brand.
Before Xiao Ran and the others arrived, Sam had already led people to search the place thoroughly.
Even if there were monitoring and listening equipment here, they had been cleaned up.
Just when Xiao Ran was looking at this French palace-style presidential suite.
Elaine and Fang Yufei had run to the balcony on the north side of the living room and looked out.
To the north of this presidential suite is the lush Central Park, the green lung of New York.
Those who live in this suite can overlook the entire Central Park and overlook the most beautiful scenery in New York.
Looking at the lush Central Park downstairs, Elaine and Fang Yufei couldn't help but let out bursts of admiration.
"The scenery in Central Park is so beautiful, dear, let's go for a walk in Central Park later."
Elaine turned back and said to Xiao Ran.
“This presidential suite overlooks the entire Central Park, so the view is certainly beautiful!
“It’s also very affordable! The room rate is $40,000 per day.”
“With such an expensive room rate, it would be a big loss if there is no good view.”
Xiao Ran said with a smile.
Before she finished speaking, the two beauties started exclaiming.
"Oh my God! Forty thousand dollars a night, this price is too scary!"
“I thought the $15,000 room rate for the Presidential Suite at the Fairmont Hotel in San Francisco was exaggerated enough, but it turned out to be even more exaggerated here.”
Elaine said in amazement.
"How about we change to a common suite? We can live in a common suite, too. Why should we be taken advantage of?"
Fang Yufei continued.
"Live peacefully! Just for the beautiful view of Central Park outside, it's worth $40,000 a day."
"Besides, we won't be able to stay in New York for long, so the expense is simply not worth mentioning."
As he said that, Xiao Ran came to them, looking down at Central Park below.
In early autumn, Central Park is still lush and lush with flowers, and the scenery is very beautiful.
There are many tourists in the park, including many people exercising and some people with their families playing in the park.
There are many small boats floating on several large or small water surfaces, gliding on the lake.
Looking at the beautiful scenery in Central Park, Xiao Ran couldn't help but sigh.
"No wonder the properties around Central Park are so expensive. The prices are soaring to the sky. Sure enough, they are expensive for a reason."
Elaine nodded in agreement, and then continued:
"The scenery here is indeed very nice. My dear, have you ever thought about buying a property near Central Park?"
"Many super-rich people will buy properties around Central Park. They can not only live in them, but they are also a good investment. I heard that this is the standard for super-rich people in Europe and the United States."
Xiao Ran turned to look at her, and then nodded.
"This time we come to New York to explore treasures. It is very likely that we will buy some properties, and there will be more than one."
"Only in this way can you own the entire treasure without having to give half to the owners of the buildings above the ground."
"The condition of these properties needs to be investigated before making a decision."
"As for the properties around Central Park, it depends on whether there are good opportunities. If there are good properties worth buying, we can also buy a few."
After chatting for a few more words, Elaine and the others felt a chill coming over them and hurriedly ran into the suite to change clothes.
At this time, their luggage and Xiao Ran's gun bag had been brought into the suite.
After Elaine and the others entered the bedroom, Sam and Nick began to report the situation.
"Sean, we have thoroughly inspected this presidential suite and found no hidden surveillance equipment. You can check in with confidence."
"We have installed pinhole cameras in the corridor outside the suite. The entire corridor is under our surveillance and is safe."
"Most of our company's employees and security personnel live on this floor, so everyone can take care of each other."
"The rooms below this presidential suite are occupied by our own people, so we don't have to worry about eavesdropping through the floor."
"There are surveillance cameras installed on the roof of the hotel. Anyone who appears on the roof will be discovered immediately."
Sam briefly reported the situation and the arrangements were very thorough.
After listening to his report, Xiao Ran immediately nodded appreciatively.
"Well done, guys, please be more vigilant. We came to New York this time to explore treasures, not to attend some auction."
"Once the news is leaked, it will definitely attract a lot of attention, and some people will try their best to find out the information about this treasure, so be careful."
Before he could finish his words, Sam and Nick already exclaimed in low voices.
"Ah! We came to New York to explore treasures, no wonder we have to do so much preparation work!"
While exclaiming in low voices, these two guys were also excited.
What man wouldn’t be eager to explore unknown and mysterious treasures?
Sam and Nick are no exception!
When they heard that they were coming to New York to explore treasures, the two guys' eyes suddenly lit up with excitement.
In fact, except for Elaine and Fang Yufei, no one else knew the purpose of Xiao Ran's visit to New York.
Even the company manager Miller only knew that this was a special operation, but did not know the details.
Xiao Ran didn't tell anyone any information about this treasure.
Although very excited, Sam and Nick didn't ask much about the treasure.
These two guys know what to ask and what not to ask.
Afterwards, Nick also began to report the situation.
"Sean, I have found the New York traffic map and subway route maps of various eras that you asked me to collect."
“Most of the information can be found at the New York Library, and some of it was obtained through friends who work in city departments.”
"As for those neighborhoods, I also sorted out the relevant information and got some information, but it's not very detailed."
"As for the recent auctions in Manhattan, there are several auctions. You can look at the information and decide which one to attend."
With that said, Nick took out a thick stack of information and handed it over.
Xiao Ran took the information and quickly looked through it.
"Well done, those auctions are just a cover, just for the New York colleagues to see."
"The news of my arrival in New York will probably spread soon, and my colleagues in New York will definitely keep an eye on me."
"For this reason, I have to put on a show for those guys to confuse them and prevent them from causing trouble."
Hearing this, Sam and the others laughed.
Then some more situations were reported, and they just left and went back to their respective rooms.
