The martial law only lasted for two days before it could no longer be maintained, and transportation links with the outside world had to be relaxed.
Manhattan is the financial center of the world, with countless financial institutions that simply cannot stop functioning.
Especially on Wall Street, every day of shutdown causes immeasurable losses.
Under today's special circumstances, whether Wall Street can function normally is even related to countless people's confidence in the economy and life.
Although martial law was forced to be lifted, the situation on the island is still quite tense.
Police with live ammunition and high alert, as well as groups of National Guard soldiers, can be seen everywhere on the streets.
There are police and military checkpoints on all bridges and tunnels connecting to the outside world.
Almost every vehicle leaving Manhattan must be inspected to eliminate suspicion before being released.
People walking on the streets of Manhattan will encounter police interrogations from time to time, and the frequency is countless times higher than before!
The resulting conflicts are also rising sharply.
The cells of every police station in Manhattan are crowded with prisoners, all of whom are unruly thorns.
The only good thing is that the zero-dollar shopping that used to be everywhere has completely disappeared in the past two days.
Even the Black Lives Matter activists have completely ceased their activities, no longer come out to cause trouble, and have become much quieter.
These guys still have some brains and know that now is not the time to rob or cause trouble, otherwise they will be asking for trouble!
During the two days of martial law, Xiao Ran and the others basically stayed at the Plaza Hotel and didn't go anywhere.
Even after martial law was lifted, they did not immediately leave Manhattan and go to New Haven, which was not far away.
In the two days after the martial law was lifted, Xiao Ran took Elaine and the others to the Metropolitan Museum and the Guggenheim Museum, swimming in the ocean of history and art.
During this period, the CIA sent people over again to investigate.
The same three guys came before, but they still found nothing and could only return empty-handed.
The CIA and the New York police, who searched Manhattan countless times, still could not find the terrorists who carried out this bloody revenge.
However, they were not without gains.
They discovered some extremists hiding in New York and dug out or killed some spies, mainly Russians.
As time went by, more details about the bombing were gradually dug up by the news media.
This includes the identities of the four CIA agents and some of the things they did in Syria, such as leading a team to massacre civilians.
There are also those blood books written in blood on the walls, such as slogans such as For Syria, Blood Debt and Blood Repayment.
The release of relevant information makes people more confident.
This bloody killing and bombing is the revenge of the Arabs in the Middle East!
Certain terrorist organizations in the Middle East were very cooperative, shouting slogans of blood debt and blood debt, scrambling to take responsibility for this bombing!
The reason why they do this is naturally to increase their reputation and attract more people to join in order to increase their strength!
The United States is their life-and-death enemy, so what if there is a little more hatred!
Anyway, there are too many lice and it doesn’t itch!
This provided Xiao Ran with the perfect cover, which he could not have wished for!
In the blink of an eye, five days have passed since the Manhattan bombing.
The heat it caused gradually began to subside.
After a few days of recuperation, Xiao Ran and the others were in high spirits and full of energy.
Some of these guys even felt uncomfortable!
It's time to leave New York and start your next adventure!
It was just after nine in the morning.
Everyone has packed their luggage and is ready to leave the Plaza Hotel.
At this moment, Sam's voice suddenly came from the intercom.
"Sean, those guys from the CIA are here again, this time a guy with a higher position is here."
"The other party said they are not here to investigate this time, but to negotiate a deal with you."
Upon hearing the announcement, Xiao Ran and David were stunned for a moment.
In the blink of an eye, they had reacted and looked at each other with a smile.
They understood that these CIA agents probably ransacked the Chinese antique dealer's home and took the Chinese antiques and artworks as their own, so they came to discuss business!
"These grandsons of the CIA really come from the same origin, with the same greed and shamelessness!"
"For these grandsons, bullshit friendship and getting rich are the most important things!"
Xiao Ran cursed a few words secretly, then picked up the walkie-talkie and said:
"A senior CIA agent wants to negotiate a deal with me? That sounds interesting!"
"I can meet with them and would love to see what they can come up with to trade."
"Sam, if you take those guys to the small conference room on the top floor, you must strictly check the security."
"Weapons and eavesdropping equipment must not be carried, and David must be present to witness and take video as evidence."
"If they don't accept these conditions, I won't meet them. I have to ensure my own safety!"
After the words fell, Sam immediately responded:
"Copy that, Sean, I'll tell those guys your terms right now."
After ending the call, Xiao Ran immediately called Nick in and told this guy.
"I'm going to inform everyone and ask everyone to go back to their rooms to rest. Something unexpected happened."
"We may have to be late to set off, but don't worry, it's not a bad thing!"
"Okay, Sean, I'll inform everyone right away."
Nick nodded and left the suite.
Then, Sam's voice came from the intercom again.
"Sean, the other party is willing to accept your conditions and go to the conference room to meet with you."
"But they also have conditions. If a deal cannot be reached, the video taken must be destroyed on site."
Xiao Ran smiled disdainfully, then nodded and replied:
"Of course, no problem. I don't want to offend a group of CIA agents. It won't do any good."
"After the security check, take them to the small conference room on the top floor. I will be there in 15 minutes."
"Okay, leave it to us."
Sam responded, ending the call.
Then, David shook his head helplessly and cursed:
"Fake! These are a bunch of greedy bastards, they are simply lawless!"
"Don't even think about it. The Chinese antique dealer who died at the explosion site must have had his house confiscated by these bastards!"
A few days passed, and everyone knew who the people who were killed in the violent explosion were.
Among them was this unlucky Chinese antique dealer.
Hearing David's curse, Xiao Ran nodded in agreement.
"Yes, these bastards are indeed very greedy. They can even be said to be a group of scum!"
"On the premise of ensuring my own safety, I want to see what they can come up with!"
"If these things are of high value, it's not impossible to trade with these scum, but you must avoid falling into their trap!"
David paused and then continued:
"It's true. Trading with these scum is like dancing on the tip of a knife!"
"We must be extremely careful not to be fooled by these scumbags!"
Next, the two of them discussed how to deal with these scum of the CIA.
After about twelve or thirteen minutes, they discussed the countermeasures and walked out of the presidential suite.
For safety reasons, Xiao Ran specially brought two HK45 pistols.
And the bullet was loaded and inserted into the holster under the arm.
Coming out of the presidential suite, Marvin and the others were waiting at the door, everyone was fully armed.
Xiao Ran looked at these guys, and then said in a deep voice:
"Marvin, take two guys into the presidential suite to protect Elaine and Fang Yufei."
"Prevent someone from attacking from the air, breaking the window into the suite, and controlling Elaine and the others to threaten me."
"The opponents in this transaction are CIA agents, and those guys have such abilities."
"William, take two guys with me to the small conference room. The other guys will stay here."
After the words fell, Marvin and the others immediately responded in unison:
"Okay, Sean."
Afterwards, everyone took action separately.
In the blink of an eye, Xiao Ran and the others were outside the door of the small conference room on the top floor.
At this time, there was an armed security team member guarding outside the door of the small conference room, as well as a CIA agent whom he had seen before.
When he got here, Xiao Ran immediately turned on the perspective and quickly looked through the inside and outside of the conference room, including the CIA agent standing outside the door.
There were only four people in this small conference room.
They are Sam and three CIA agents.
Those guys were not carrying weapons or listening devices.
Even my personal ID is not on me, so it’s very clean!
This is Manhattan, New York. As CIA agents, they have nothing to fear.
In addition, Xiao Ran and the others were ordinary people without any suspicion, so these CIA agents could safely disarm.
There are no bugs or hidden weapons and ammunition in every corner of the conference room, including ventilation ducts.
The CIA agent at the door was carrying a pistol and a Bluetooth intercom headset.
The bag placed at his feet contained the weapons, equipment and credentials of three other CIA agents, as well as headphones and other personal belongings.
In the blink of an eye, Xiao Ran had grasped the situation inside and outside the conference room.
Next, he nodded and said hello to the CIA agent at the door, then opened the door and walked into the conference room.
