Xiao Ran picked up the phone and took a look at Laixian, and his expression changed accordingly.
It was Lao Zhou calling, and it was at this time, so it was probably not a good thing.
The call was connected, and Lao Zhou's voice came over immediately.
"Xiao Ran, as you expected, I have encountered some troubles and need your help."
Before he finished speaking, Xiao Ran immediately asked:
"What happened? Mr. Zhou, are you safe now?"
"If it's safe, let me introduce the situation first."
"Okay, Xiao Ran"
Lao Zhou responded and immediately began to introduce the situation.
After the transaction was completed in the afternoon, he did not leave Liuyunzhai immediately, but called his eldest son over.
Later, the father and son left Chinatown and drove back to their home in Cambridge.
They were very careful on their way home.
I kept paying attention to see if there was a car following me, and made a big circle around the MIT campus for a long time before returning home.
During this period, they didn't notice anything unusual, or it could be that someone was following them secretly, but they didn't know it.
After all, they are ordinary people. They don't know any anti-tracking techniques, and they can't distinguish possible tracking vehicles.
The stalker can only deceive their eyes by arranging a few more vehicles, constantly changing positions, and keeping a sufficient distance.
After returning home, Lao Zhou told his wife and son in detail what happened today, including his daughter who was far away in Philadelphia.
Then we discussed how to distribute the more than 50 million US dollars we just received.
Such a sudden and huge amount of wealth made everyone in the family very happy, but also a little worried!
For safety reasons, Lao Zhou was extra careful.
He turned on all the security equipment in his home and took out all the guns in case of any eventuality.
But just now, several cars suddenly drove up on the street in front of his house.
Four or five armed men got out of those cars and tried to break into their home, but they triggered the door alarm and were filmed by surveillance cameras.
Those guys were scared away by the sudden sound of the alarm bell, and Lao Zhou and his family managed to escape.
Under such circumstances, how could they dare to live in their own homes anymore? They were all terrified.
But they did not dare to drive to the Ritz-Carlton Hotel by themselves, so they could only call Xiao Ran for help.
After listening to Lao Zhou's introduction, Xiao Ran immediately said in a deep voice:
"Obviously, those armed robbers were just after the huge sum of money you got today. Fortunately, they didn't succeed!"
"Mr. Zhou, send me the exact address of your home and I will send security personnel to pick you up."
"Before that, you call the police first. There is a police car at the door, and the robbers should be wary."
Upon hearing this, Lao Zhou nodded hurriedly and said:
"Okay, Xiao Ran, thank you so much, my son has called the police."
Then, he sent his home address.
Xiao Ran comforted him for a few words before hanging up the phone.
Immediately afterwards, he picked up the walkie-talkie and said:
"Sam, are you there?"
The next moment, Sam's voice came from the intercom.
"I'm here, Sean, what's wrong?"
Next, Xiao Ran said coldly:
"Immediately arrange a group of guys to go to Cambridge and bring Boss Liuyun Zhaizhou and his family to the hotel."
"Just now, they were almost robbed. The robbers accidentally triggered the alarm, which prevented them from succeeding."
"The guys sent out were divided into two groups, one group drove the car, and the other group drove the helicopter on the roof, just in case!"
"I will send you the exact address of Boss Zhou's home. Don't forget to bring back the surveillance video. I will use it."
After the words fell, Sam immediately replied:
"Copy that, Sean, I'll arrange for a group of guys to come over"
"Leave this matter to us, don't worry"
After ending the call, Xiao Ran immediately sent the address of Lao Zhou's home to Sam.
Then he sent a message to Lao Zhou and briefly introduced the situation.
Then he called Sun Bowen and two other antique shop owners one by one and asked about their situation.
Since someone is targeting Lao Zhou, they probably won't let them go.
In the eyes of those robbers, they are super fat sheep holding large sums of cash, full of temptation!
As long as any one of them can be successfully kidnapped, a huge ransom of tens of millions of dollars or even tens of millions of dollars can be obtained!
Such an astonishing amount of wealth can drive almost everyone crazy and take risks for it!
Sun Bowen and others were shocked when they received the call. They quickly ran to the window and carefully began to check the situation around the house.
It didn't matter at this glance, each of them was so frightened that chills ran down their backs.
On the street outside their home, there were some strange vehicles of unknown origin, parked on the street downstairs.
Because Sun Bowen and the others live in Chinatown, there are many residents around them and there are many people.
That's why the robbers in the car didn't take action immediately, but waited for the night to come.
Wait until it's late at night and everyone is asleep, then it's time for those guys to take action.
After confirming this, Xiao Ran immediately gave a response strategy.
"Boss Sun, you don't have to worry, I will send security personnel to pick you up right away."
"Like the old Zhou family, you are temporarily staying at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel. It is safer here!"
"What you have to do now is to block the door with something and be ready to call the police at any time."
"Then send the accurate address. After my people arrive, they will call to confirm, and then you can bring your family out."
"One more thing, find a way to take pictures of the cars downstairs. I can use them later. Be careful, don't be discovered by those guys in the car."
Upon hearing this, Sun Bowen responded hurriedly:
"Okay, Xiao Ran, I know what to do and I will be careful!"
"I should have listened to you this afternoon, and it wouldn't have been so dangerous."
After ending the call, Xiao Ran picked up the walkie-talkie again and asked Sam to send security personnel to pick up Sun Bowen and the others.
Sun Bowen and the others are in Chinatown, very close, so there is no need to send a helicopter.
In the blink of an eye, several groups of heavily armed security personnel drove out of the Ritz-Carlton Hotel to pick up Lao Zhou and Sun Bowen.
At the same time, a medium-sized helicopter parked on the roof of the hotel roared into the sky and flew directly to Cambridge across the Charles River!
After dealing with these things, Xiao Ran couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief and relaxed a little.
Afterwards, he briefly introduced the situation to Elaine and Fang Yufei.
When they heard that robbers were targeting Lao Zhou and Sun Bowen, the two beauties were shocked.
About five or six minutes later, William's voice suddenly came from the intercom.
"Sean, we have arrived at the street where Boss Zhou's house is located and have contacted Boss Zhou."
"Nothing happened to them. There are police on site investigating the situation. It seems safe. You can rest assured."
Along with William's voice, there was also the roar of a huge helicopter engine, which was deafening.
Their security team flew over in a helicopter, and in a blink of an eye they were on the street where Lao Zhou's house was.
After hearing the announcement, Xiao Ran picked up the walkie-talkie and said:
"Copy that. After you receive Boss Zhou and his family, return to the hotel immediately."
"You should also be more careful and beware of being attacked by others!"
Next, the security team that went to meet Sun Bowen and two other antique shop owners also arrived one after another and established contact with Sun Bowen and the others.
Xiao Ran immediately called Sun Bowen and the others and confirmed the identity of the security personnel.
After ensuring safety, Lao Zhou, Sun Bowen and their families hurriedly left their house and drove straight to the Ritz-Carlton Hotel.
Just as they were being escorted away.
In several places in Boston, angry and angry curses sounded at the same time.
"Fake! Sean, this damn bastard, is too lenient!"
"He dares to ruin our good deeds. I'm not done with him!"
While they were furious, these guys' eyes were filled with fear.
They knew in their hearts that it was not them who was left unfinished, but Xiao Ran who had only issued the warning in the afternoon!
Next, people like myself may encounter a fatal pursuit, and they will not stop until they die!
Thinking of this, these guys suddenly felt chills all over their bodies, and they couldn't even curse!
After a while, Xiao Ran received reports from several groups of security team members.
I learned that Lao Zhou and Boss Sun were out of danger and on their way to the hotel.
After learning this news, he was completely relieved!
At this moment, Professor Baker and Nick knocked on the door and entered the suite, coming to report the situation.
They had just returned from Boston City Hall and rushed to the presidential suite immediately.
As soon as he entered the living room, Professor Baker said excitedly:
"Sean, we've got permission to operate in Boston and explore that colonial treasure."
"As long as we reach an agreement with the relevant land owners, we can start a joint exploration of colonial treasures."
Hearing this, Xiao Ran couldn't help but be a little surprised.
"You got the permit so quickly? Is it true? Are those guys in Boston City Hall so easy to talk to?"
"I thought the Boston City Hall might put up some obstacles to embarrass our joint exploration team."
"Some guys at Harvard and MIT may also be causing trouble secretly to prevent us from exploring this unknown colonial treasure."
“What I didn’t expect was that the Boston city government agreed so readily. This is a bit beyond my expectation!”
"Hahaha"
Professor Baker laughed directly and then explained a few words.
"The reason is actually very simple. The assistant to the mayor of Boston who is in charge of such matters is a graduate of Yale."
"This guy is still a member of the Roosevelt family, and he is probably a member of the Skull and Bones Society, but no one knows it."
"He gave us the green light, and because of that we were able to get permission to launch the exploration operation."
"ah!"
Xiao Ran exclaimed, and then laughed.
"What a coincidence. It seems we are very lucky."
"I hope this good luck can continue and allow us to successfully find this colonial treasure."
Professor Baker nodded and then continued:
“Boston City Hall gave permission for the exploratory operation but also made a request.”
"They will send people to follow the joint exploration team to witness and supervise the progress of the exploration operation."
“Not only the Boston city government, but also the U.S. Department of Culture will send people to participate and provide on-site supervision.”
Xiao Ran smiled and nodded.
"If something is expected, they can send people to supervise it, but they cannot interfere with the joint exploration operation!"
