After cleaning up the antique artifacts and artworks stored in the room, Xiao Ran walked around the apartment again to see if there were any missing treasures.
It's entirely possible that the Wu family lived here for nearly seventy years, during which time they might have taken some items from the treasure room and used them for home decoration.
Fortunately, their family has ancestral Shanghai cuisine skills, and they are quite good at it. They have their own house and restaurant, and their life has always been good.
In this case, there is no need to sell antique artworks to maintain or improve life, and those valuable antique artworks can be preserved until now.
Otherwise, these treasures would have been sold off long ago.
As expected!
In Wu Tianyu's bedroom, Xiao Ran found two jade belt hooks used as curtain hooks.
There are also two interesting freehand paintings of flowers and birds, one by the Ming Dynasty art master Xu Wei, and the other by the famous Qing Dynasty painter Zheng Banqiao.
Elsewhere in the apartment, there are also some surprising discoveries.
As he searched around the apartment.
A huge armored convoy drove slowly and stopped on the street in front of the apartment building.
Four of the armored escort vehicles drove directly into the parking lot behind the apartment building.
Seeing this scene, the crowd who gathered in front of the apartment building to watch the excitement was instantly shocked.
"I know that lucky bastard Sean must have found a treasure in the apartment."
"This guy was sent to escort the convoy, obviously he wanted to transport away the contents of the treasure."
shouted a white man in his thirties.
"Fuck! The reason why this bastard Sean came to New York is to loot the treasures hidden in New York. How abominable!"
Another guy cursed angrily.
Almost everyone gathered in front of the apartment building was filled with envy and jealousy.
Many of them had jealous eyes that were blood red and looked quite scary.
Many residents living in the apartment building were filled with envy and beating their chests and feet with regret.
Such an amazing treasure is around me, but I know nothing about it. As a result, it was swept away by others. How can I not regret it?
Inside the apartment.
Xiao Ran quickly explored all the rooms, and then returned to the living room with some treasures he found.
Entering the living room, he handed the items he had just found to Nick to register, photograph, and then wrap and box them.
At this moment, Sam suddenly knocked on the door and walked in.
"Sean, the escort convoy has arrived. Four armored escort vehicles are parked at the back entrance of the apartment building."
"The rest of the vehicles were parked on the street outside, and the crowd on the street was a little restless."
"Some residents who live in this unit want to know about the situation. They will be in the corridor outside."
Sam reported the situation outside.
After listening to the report, Xiao Ran pondered for a moment before giving a response.
"Ask Marvin to take people to check the four armored escort vehicles. After making sure they are safe, replace all the drivers with our guys."
"We will transfer these treasures to Wall Street soon, so that the guys can be more vigilant and ready to deal with emergencies at any time."
"As for those curious neighbors, it's okay to let them come in and take a look at the situation to avoid random suspicions."
"However, the identity of each of them must be verified one by one and security checks must be carried out."
After the words fell, Sam immediately nodded and responded:
"Okay, Sean, I'll remind the guys and make everyone more vigilant."
"Leave it to us to deal with the residents in the corridor outside!"
After saying that, he turned around and left, going out to make arrangements.
Immediately afterwards, Xiao Ran asked Nick to take people to the corridor outside and bring in those curious residents for a visit.
Nick nodded and immediately led people towards the door.
A few minutes later, they opened the door and walked in with seven or eight residents in the apartment building.
These people were both men and women, mostly white, and all were over 40 years old, including two elderly people in their 60s.
After entering the apartment, these guys looked at everything in the apartment curiously.
When they saw the various boxes piled on the floor, everyone's eyes suddenly lit up and shone brightly.
They instantly understood that the things packed in those boxes must be valuable.
Just when they were secretly guessing what was in those boxes.
Xiao Ran came up to him and said hello with a smile.
"Ladies and gentlemen, good evening, I'm Sean, nice to meet you all"
"I have bought this apartment. From now on, we are neighbors. Please take care of me."
After the words fell, the residents nodded and said hello.
"Good evening, Mr. Sean, we are also pleased to meet you and welcome you to stay here."
Next, both parties introduced themselves and got to know each other.
After some polite greetings, one of the old men named Jack suddenly asked:
"Mr. Sean, may I ask where Wu went? Why didn't you see him?"
"I have been his neighbor for decades, but I never knew that he actually owned a treasure."
"And I often come to his home as a guest, but I don't know anything about it. This guy is so good at keeping secrets!"
Xiao Ran looked at the old man, smiled and explained:
"After I bought this apartment and everything here, Mr. Wu left New York immediately to reunite with his children."
"Based on the time, he should have arrived at his destination and met his children by now!"
"As for the antique artworks hidden in this apartment, they have been kept secret ever since Mr. Wu's father obtained those treasures!"
"This should be for safety reasons, and it can also be regarded as an ancestral instruction, so you don't know anything about it!"
Jack paused, then nodded.
"I see, I know where Wu went, and I hope to see him again in the future!"
"There are fewer and fewer elderly people in the building. After Wu left, I lost another friend to talk to."
As he said this, the old man looked a little lonely.
The current special situation is a huge threat to all elderly people.
For health and safety reasons, they can only stay at home most of the time and dare not go anywhere.
As a result, life becomes extremely boring.
Especially for the elderly who live alone, it is difficult to find someone to talk to. Can they not feel lonely and scared?
As soon as Jack finished speaking, another man in his early fifties suddenly said:
"Sean, can you tell us about the situation here? Can you show us what you found?"
"Now people outside are saying that you have discovered a huge treasure here, isn't that true?"
Xiao Ran looked at this guy and then shook his head.
"The rumors outside are all exaggerated, and you don't need to take them seriously."
"There are only some collections from the Wu family here, not a huge treasure."
"And these collections are all from China, and you can't understand them either."
"We have packed everything in boxes and are ready to transport it away. It is not convenient to unpack it for everyone to enjoy."
After hearing this, several residents in the building could only accept this result.
Thomas and the others sitting in the living room all rolled their eyes, but didn't say anything more.
Next, Nick took these residents around the apartment and briefly introduced the situation before sending them out of the apartment.
After they left, Xiao Ran immediately said:
"Everyone, pack up, prepare to transfer these boxes, and leave this apartment building."
"Mr. Wu's personal belongings can be packed up tomorrow and then shipped to Seattle."
"Okay, Sean."
Everyone responded in unison and took action immediately.
A moment later, Marvin's voice suddenly came from the intercom.
"Sean, all four armored escort vehicles have been inspected and there are no problems."
"The drivers of the four escort vehicles have all been replaced by our own guys."
"All the guards in the backyard have been replaced by our own people. The scene is safe!"
After hearing the announcement, Xiao Ran immediately picked up the walkie-talkie and said:
"Copy that, Marvin, let the guys be on alert and the transshipment operation will start immediately."
"Got it, Sean"
Marvin responded and ended the call.
Immediately afterwards, Sam opened the door and walked in.
After entering the door, he went straight to Xiao Ran and whispered solemnly:
"Sean, there's something wrong with the surrounding streets."
"According to reports from several guys hidden in the crowd, some strange vehicles appeared near the two parking lot exits on 57th Street and 56th Street."
"Not only that, but the situation is the same on Madison Avenue. There are some strange vehicles on the roadside."
"As expected, these strange vehicles are all coming for this batch of antique works of art."
Hearing this, Xiao Ran's face immediately turned cold.
After pondering for a moment, he said coldly:
"As expected, there are some reckless idiots who are looking for death. Those idiots are obviously coming for us."
"In that case, let's help those idiots and send them to hell!"
"Let's leave through the 56th Street exit, so we can avoid the large crowd gathering in front of the apartment building and avoid hurting innocent people."
"Don't rush to notify the guys now. When the armored escort truck starts, notify the guys in front of the apartment building and ask them to rush to 56th Street quickly!"
"The escort vehicles of the security company blocked the intersection of 57th Street and Madison Avenue to prevent the robbers hiding on these two streets from pursuing."
"Save an armored escort vehicle to clear the way in front of the convoy and knock out all vehicles blocking the road."
"Instead of taking Madison Avenue, let's take Fifth Avenue to Wall Street to avoid the ambush set by the robbers."
"Don't forget to notify the New York Police to assist. They can't take my donation in vain. It's their turn to help!"
After the words fell, Sam immediately nodded and responded:
"Okay, Sean, I'll make arrangements right away!"
With that, he left the apartment.
Immediately afterwards, Xiao Ran called David to his side and continued the arrangements.
"David, contact the chairman of the New York Police Union immediately and ask him to urge the New York Police to strengthen our protection."
"You can tell the other party clearly that I can donate an additional US$5 million!"
Upon hearing this, David suddenly laughed.
"Hahaha, don't worry, Sean, for the $5 million donation, the New York police will fight tooth and nail!"
