"That guy Sean is so cunning. He ran away a long time ago. I just found out about it."
"After Goldman Sachs mentioned the violin, he took several of his employees to the rooftop and boarded a helicopter instead of taking the original Presidential One."
"But we knew nothing about it. We thought he and the violins were in the convoy."
Erin said in annoyance, sounding a little depressed.
"ah!"
The guys in the conference room all exclaimed, and they were all stunned.
At this moment, the roar of a helicopter engine suddenly came from outside the window.
Although the sound was not loud, it was heard clearly.
Hearing this sound, everyone immediately turned their heads and looked out the window.
The next moment, they saw it.
A silver-gray medium-sized helicopter was roaring from the direction of the lower city, flying straight towards this high-end office building.
"No need to ask, it's that cunning guy Sean here."
Charles said with a smile.
As he said this, the others also laughed, and everyone let out a sigh of relief.
Immediately afterwards, these guys reacted.
Xiao Ran came with the priceless set of violins, but there were still people caught in the crossfire.
Perhaps because he felt that his smile was inappropriate, Charles quickly made up a few words.
"Alan, I saw the helicopter that Sean was riding in. It will arrive at our auction house soon."
"How is the situation over there? Is anyone injured? Who ambushed the escort convoy?"
The next moment, Allen responded.
"We were traveling in bulletproof vehicles, and everyone locked the doors immediately. No one was injured, so don't worry."
"That guy Sean not only deceived us, but also deceived the robbers!"
"Although those bastards were very powerful, they didn't take any advantage. Sean's bodyguards killed several of them."
"Just now, those bastards blew open the back door of the armored escort vehicle, but there was nothing inside."
"After discovering that they had been fooled, those guys started to retreat and were very embarrassed."
"Not only are Sean's bodyguards attacking those guys now, but the police blocking the intersection are also joining the fight!"
While Allen was introducing the situation, footage of the firefight also appeared on TV, which was taken from the air by a media helicopter.
It can be clearly seen that the intersection of 23rd Street and Fifth Avenue has become a battlefield of fierce fighting, with thick smoke billowing and gunshots like rain.
On the east side of 23rd Street, several cars were running wildly and running wildly.
Behind them are three large, full-size bulletproof SUVs, chasing after them, and from time to time they will accelerate and rush towards them for collision.
During the crazy chase, both sides kept firing, as if they were treating 23rd Street as a battlefield.
Several police cars followed behind, sirens blaring, chasing the robbers who fled in a hurry.
Seeing this scene, everyone in the conference room was stunned. They all froze on the spot, dumbfounded.
Not only them, but everyone watching this scene was shocked and stunned.
"Wow! This guy Sean is so crazy!"
"He's only been in New York for a few days, and he's already done so many things. It's incredible!"
The director of the Philharmonic Orchestra said with emotion.
"Yeah! What a crazy guy!"
Charles nodded in agreement, and the others also nodded.
Soon, ten minutes passed.
The elevator door opens.
Xiao Ran, who was fully armed, walked out of the elevator with David and several company employees.
Also coming out was Marvin, who was responsible for piloting the medium-sized helicopter parked on the rooftop apron.
At this time, David and several company employees were either carrying portable safes or viola or cello cases.
These portable safes and piano cases contain exactly that priceless set of violins.
As Alan said on the phone.
After mentioning this set of violins at Goldman Sachs Bank, Xiao Ran took David and several employees straight to the roof of the building and left Goldman Sachs Bank in a medium-sized helicopter.
The armored escort vehicles and several bulletproof SUVs that drove out of the underground parking garage were filled with heavily armed security personnel, waiting for the robbers to rush up and die.
Seeing Xiao Ran and others coming out, Charles and others who were waiting in the elevator immediately came over to greet them.
After everyone met, they exchanged polite greetings and introduced each other.
After a few polite words, Charles said with emotion:
"Sean, your skills are so beautiful and admirable!"
"Not only were Allen and the others deceived by you, but those tough robbers were also fooled!"
"I heard from Alan that those bastards paid a heavy price but got nothing and are running away in a hurry!"
Xiao Ran shrugged his shoulders pretending to be helpless.
"This is also a helpless move. Manhattan today is too chaotic. It can be said that there are dangers everywhere."
"More importantly, there are so many people staring at this set of violins that we have to be extremely cautious to avoid accidents."
"After I discovered that someone was following the escort convoy, I came up with this trick temporarily. Fortunately, the effect was pretty good."
Everyone present secretly rolled their eyes and complained.
An impromptu idea? Give me a break!
You cunning guy, you are just trying to fool everyone!
The most unlucky ones are the fierce robbers.
Those idiots risked their lives and left several corpses behind, but in the end they couldn't even touch the sides of this set of violins!
Such a result would probably make several robbers angry to death!
The next moment, the director of the Metropolitan Museum suddenly intervened.
"Sean, you are right. There are too many people staring at this set of violins, including us at the Metropolitan Museum."
"If it is confirmed that those three violins are indeed the love instruments of the master of art Paganini, I wonder if you can transfer one to our museum?"
"As for the transaction price, we can sit down and talk slowly. I believe we can reach an agreement."
"The restoration and protection of that violin can be done by our museum ourselves, so you can save yourself some trouble!"
Upon hearing this, Charles immediately became anxious.
He was about to retort, but Xiao Ran raised his hand to stop him.
"Thomas, your Metropolitan Museum wants to collect Paganini's violin, but it's not impossible!"
"I am very happy to do business with your museum. We can exchange and trade with you. I only accept this method."
"If you are willing to exchange the "White Picture of Shining Night", a few pieces of Northern Song Dynasty official kiln and Ru kiln porcelain, as well as Ming Chenghua Doucai chicken jar cups and other treasures, we can sit down and talk."
"In that case, I can spare you a Paganini Stradivarius violin and trade it with you."
Hearing this, Thomas was stunned and his eyes widened.
After a while, the guy just woke up.
Then, he shook his head with emotion.
"Sean, you are so greedy and your appetite is amazing!"
"These treasures you requested are the essence of Chinese antiques, cultural relics and works of art in our collection. They are the highest quality antiques and works of art!"
"If I exchange these treasures with you, our museum's collection of Chinese antiques and art will be greatly diminished."
"I can't agree to your trading conditions. It seems we can only try to see if we can get Paganini's violin from the auction!"
Xiao Ran looked at this guy, smiled confidently and said:
"It doesn't matter, Thomas, I believe one day we will sit down and talk about the exchange."
"At that time, you will be willing to trade with me these treasures I just mentioned."
Thomas paused, then laughed.
"Hahaha, I look forward to that day"
"Then it depends on whether the chips you bring out are substantial enough and whether they can make us excited!"
Obviously, he didn't take Xiao Ran's words to heart, nor did he think that this kind of thing would really happen.
But he never imagined that before long, he would willingly take out those top-notch Chinese antiques and beg Xiao Ran to exchange them!
While they were talking, the group of them entered the large conference room of Bonhams Auction House.
After entering, Charles introduced several antique musical instrument appraisal experts who were staying in the conference room.
Immediately afterwards, he notified the security department to step up vigilance.
Bonhams' elevators and stairwells were even locked as a precaution.
After everything was ready, the identification work officially started.
Under the expectant gaze of everyone present, Xiao Ran picked up a portable safe and gently placed it on the conference table.
Then enter your fingerprint and password to open it.
Immediately afterwards, he picked up a yellowed violin case from the portable safe and carefully placed it on the table.
"Gentlemen, please admire this Guarneri violin once played by the talented player Paganini!"
As he spoke, he gently opened the violin case.
