Ten minutes later.
Xiao Ran had disarmed, washed and disinfected, and came to the living room.
Before he could sit down, Elaine immediately said excitedly:
"Dear, Time Magazine just sent someone to the hotel again and wants to do an exclusive interview with you."
"Time Magazine wants to put you on the cover of its latest issue. Are you prepared to be interviewed?"
Xiao Ran did not respond immediately, but fell into thinking.
After a moment, he shook his head and said:
"Let nature take its course, I don't plan to accept an interview with Time Magazine"
"If they want to put me on the cover of the latest weekly issue, I won't object."
"However, reports about me must be reviewed by me and cannot be allowed to be fabricated by them!"
"I am a professional treasure hunter. Our company is a treasure hunting company. It is best to maintain a certain degree of mystery!"
"ah!"
Yi Lian and Fang Yufei both exclaimed and froze on the spot.
After a while, Elaine said regretfully:
"This is an exclusive interview with a person in Time Magazine, and it's a cover story. Countless super-rich people and governments from various countries can't ask for it!"
"What a great opportunity to become famous, but you gave it up casually. Isn't it a pity?"
Xiao Ran smiled and shook his head.
"Sometimes being too famous may not be a good thing. This state is very good, and too much is not enough!"
"Besides, if Time Magazine really wants to put me on the cover of its latest issue, it doesn't really matter if I have this interview or not."
The two beauties were stunned for a moment, then nodded again.
Immediately afterwards, Fang Yufei suddenly expressed a few words of emotion.
"Who would have thought that you were just an ordinary international student a few months ago?"
"Now he has transformed into a super rich man with a net worth of tens of billions of dollars, and may appear on the cover of Time Magazine"
"This is simply a miracle. No wonder Time Magazine is rushing to find you for an exclusive interview!"
Hearing this, Xiao Ran couldn't help but nodded proudly.
"You don't even look at who this guy is? What about the famous "Times"? You guys don't take him seriously either."
Before she finished speaking, the two beauties rolled their eyes and made a sound of disdain.
After joking and chatting for a while, everyone got to the point.
"Today's escort operation went smoothly and we didn't encounter any trouble."
"The Rothschild family lawyers came forward to coordinate, the airport and the FBI did not find any trouble, and the two planes took off quickly."
Xiao Ran briefly introduced some situations.
Hearing that the valuable antiques and artworks had been successfully transported, Elaine and the others breathed a sigh of relief and immediately relaxed a lot.
"My dear, are you going to Boston next? When should we leave?"
“I’ve never been to Boston before, so I’d like to go and check it out.”
Elaine asked curiously.
Xiao Ran smiled and shook his head.
"Before we go to Boston, let's go to New Haven first."
"I need to discuss something with a professor in the history department at Yale before going to Boston."
At this point, he suddenly changed the subject.
"Let me tell you something. Tonight we are going to visit the Consulate General in New York."
"You go pick out two suitable clothes. In the evening we will set off to the Consulate General in New York."
"Counsellor Wang just told me that there will be a very authentic Chinese meal waiting for us to enjoy."
Before he finished speaking, Fang Yufei took the lead in cheering.
“That’s great, it looks like we’re going to have a real treat tonight!”
Elaine was also excited.
Who wouldn’t be happy when there’s delicious food?
After chatting for a while, Elaine and the others went upstairs to pick out clothes and take a lunch break.
Xiao Ran went to the restaurant to have something to eat, and then walked into the study.
After entering the study, he first sent a message to his sister-in-law and Mr. Jin.
Tell them that the batch of antique artworks shipped back to Beijing has been shipped successfully and ask them to prepare to pick up the goods at the airport.
Then he sent a message to the fan WeChat group, telling everyone that the batch of antique artworks had been shipped and was on its way to Beijing.
Among the antique artworks were the 120 sketches of Fei Xin given to fans, as well as the treasures taken in the live broadcast room.
As soon as this news was sent out, it was immediately seen by several night owls who stayed up late playing games, and the WeChat group immediately became lively.
"That's great! Xiao Ran, I hope for the stars and the moon, and finally I can get Fei Xin's sketch!"
"I will immediately book a train ticket to Beijing in 15 days. This is the biggest prize in my life!"
Xiao Ran just smiled and ignored these guys.
Then, he walked to the bookshelf next to him and opened the cabinet door under the bookshelf.
In the cabinet under the bookshelf, there are two small safes.
He first put on a pair of gloves, then opened one of the safes, took out two boxes, one large and one small, and placed them on the desk.
Then he opened the larger box first.
Packaged in this box is a small, palm-sized drone, which is very compact.
He casually took out the small drone, then opened another box and took out the contents inside.
What was taken out from the second box was a smartphone and a bug that looked like a leaf.
This eavesdropping device is only the size of a fingertip and looks like a leaf. It is inconspicuous but powerful.
It not only can eavesdrop, but also has GPS positioning function.
There is also a small suction cup at the bottom, which once activated, can be firmly attached to any object.
In fact, there are several bionic bugs of different shapes in the second box, such as bugs, small stones, etc.
In addition, there are several bionic-shaped pinhole cameras, and everything is extremely exquisitely designed.
As for the smartphone, it is used to receive signals.
All these things were given by Counselor He from the Consulate General in Los Angeles before leaving Los Angeles, just in case of emergency.
From the perspective of Xiao Ran, who has the power of clairvoyance, although these things are very advanced, he has no use for them.
It can be said to be tasteless, tasteless to eat and a pity to throw away!
Keeping these things around will increase your risk of exposure.
Once these things are discovered by the Americans, everyone will be suspicious and even regard themselves as spies!
Because of this, he has never used these sophisticated equipment, and has never thought of destroying them.
Fortunately, he didn't do this, otherwise, he would be blinded now!
In this situation, these high-precision equipment are exactly needed.
Thinking of this, Xiao Ran couldn't help but chuckle.
Immediately afterwards, he turned on clairvoyance and studied these high-precision equipment again.
Then I turned on several pieces of equipment and tested them one by one, just in case.
All gear is fine and in top condition.
After confirming this, he ended the perspective, then opened a hatch on the belly of the small drone and put the leaf-shaped bug inside.
Then he opened the laptop on the table and turned off several surveillance cameras placed outside the balcony to avoid exposing any flaws.
After doing this, he walked out of the study and came to the balcony outside.
It is very safe here, no one can see directly, and there is no need to worry about the small drone being caught by any surveillance cameras.
Xiao Ran quickly scanned the surroundings, and then looked through the van parked on the side of 59th Street.
The next moment, he released the small drone in his hand.
Several CIA agents hiding in the carriage were discussing something enthusiastically, perhaps imagining a wonderful new life in Sunny Beach!
But little did they know that a palm-sized small drone was falling from the sky and flying towards them quickly.
Instead of flying directly toward the van, the small drone flew into Central Park and disappeared into the tree-shaded park.
When it appeared again, it had flown to the top of the van and landed slowly.
In a matter of moments, the small drone landed quietly on the roof of the car without attracting any attention.
Immediately afterwards, the hatch on the belly of the drone opened, and a leaf floated down.
As soon as it fell, the leaf immediately adhered to the roof of the car. It looked like a naturally falling leaf with almost no flaws.
But on the controller held by Xiao Ran, an eye-catching red dot appeared, flickering.
At the same time, several unfamiliar voices came from the headphones.
"That guy Jorgensen said he would come over on time in the evening, as well as the Chinese antique dealer."
"That batch of smuggled Chinese antiques is in that antique dealer's house."
"These two guys have the leverage in our hands, so we don't have to worry about them being disobedient."
Hearing this, the killing intent in Xiao Ran's eyes suddenly became stronger.
