Ten minutes later.
Sun Bowen and others who live in Chinatown rushed to the hotel first, but Lao Zhou's family was still on the way.
After receiving the news, Xiao Ran took David, Sam and the others to the elevator on the next floor and met with Sun Bowen and the others.
The moment they came out of the elevator and saw Xiao Ran, Sun Bowen and the others breathed a sigh of relief and were deeply moved.
The family members who followed them looked at Xiao Ran curiously while being moved.
In their eyes, Xiao Ran was like a legendary figure.
The series of events that happened today added a bit of legend to him.
After a few polite words during the meeting, Sun Bowen said gratefully:
"Xiao Ran, thank you for reminding us in time and sending your men to pick us up. Otherwise, we are likely to be robbed or even kidnapped tonight."
After the words fell, Xiao Ran smiled and said a few polite words.
"No need to thank you, Boss Sun. It's just a little effort. What happened today was caused by me. I don't want to see anything happen to you."
"In the next period of time, you can rest assured to stay at the Ritz-Carlton. It is safe here and no one can threaten you."
"If you don't want to live here and want to go on vacation elsewhere or stay for a period of time, I can take you away on a private jet."
Hearing this, Sun Bowen and others' eyes flashed with emotion.
For them, it is a very good choice to leave Boston temporarily and go to other places to avoid the limelight.
Anyway, it's a slump right now, there's no business at all, they're closed all day long.
In addition, the winter in Boston is very cold, with ice and snow, and the cold wind howls all day long.
Instead of risking your stay at home in Boston, why not go somewhere warm and spring-like for your vacation?
When next spring comes, it won't be too late to return to Boston to open a store and do business.
Even if I completely leave Boston and live and work in a place where no one knows me, it's not impossible.
In the United States, the Chinese are basically guests, so what does it matter if they work and live in that city?
That being the case, why not find a place with a better climate and a safer place to live?
After thinking about this, the eyes of several antique shop owners and their families suddenly became brighter.
After thinking for a moment, Sun Bowen said:
"Xiao Ran, your suggestion is very good. We will consider it. Leaving may be a good choice."
Xiao Ran nodded, and then continued:
"Yes, this is indeed a good choice. This is not my hometown. There is no such thing as a hometown that is hard to leave."
"If you need any help, just ask and I will try my best to help."
After chatting for a while, Xiao Ran asked his staff to take Sun Bowen and the others to the guest room.
Before leaving, Sun Bowen and the others handed over the photos and videos they had just taken to Xiao Ran.
He was not in a hurry to check it, and it would not be too late to check it later.
Ten minutes later, Lao Zhouyi's family also arrived at the hotel.
Compared to Sun Bowen and others, they were more frightened, and they all looked like they were trying to escape.
Seeing them, Xiao Ran also asked a few questions with concern.
"Mr. Zhou, you weren't hurt in any way, were you?"
Old Zhou let out a long breath, and then said with fear:
"Thanks to your reminder, Xiao Ran, I turned on all the security equipment as soon as I got home, and I luckily escaped."
“I don’t know how those robbers found my house, or they kept following us, but we didn’t realize it.”
"It wasn't until those guys drove up to the door and were about to break in with their guns that I realized that I had been targeted..."
After listening to his introduction, Xiao Ran thought for a moment, and then said coldly:
"Mr. Zhou, give me the surveillance video and I'll see if I can find those armed robbers."
"If I find them, I will use my own methods to deal with them and make them pay for it."
"Okay, Xiao Ran, but you have to pay attention to safety, they are a group of desperadoes."
Lao Zhou nodded in response.
After chatting for a few words, Xiao Ran was ready to leave and return to the presidential suite upstairs.
At this moment, Lao Zhou suddenly opened the suitcase, took out an exquisite brocade box, and handed it over.
"Xiao Ran, thank you for your help, otherwise our whole family would not be able to escape this disaster."
"To express my gratitude, this set of Zheng Banqiao's ink landscape albums is given to you!"
"ah!"
Xiao Ran exclaimed, and a look of surprise immediately flashed across his face.
Of course, this is just a show.
The first time he met Lao Zhouyi's family just now, he discovered this treasure through perspective.
Obviously, this is the inventory that Lao Zhou left at home, and he took it out this time.
In addition to this treasure, there are several antique works of art in Lao Zhou's suitcase.
Although these antique works of art are not as good as the national treasures he took out in the afternoon, they are still valuable and are very rare.
And these antique works of art have one thing in common, that is, they are exquisite, compact and easy to carry.
Although he had discovered this set of Zheng Banqiao's landscape albums a long time ago, Xiao Ran did not expect that Lao Zhou would give this treasure to him.
In an instant, he figured out the reason.
Using this set of Zheng Banqiao's landscape albums to express gratitude and thank him for saving his life was only one of Lao Zhou's purposes.
More importantly, he hoped to exchange his protection for their family at this price.
Unlike Sun Bowen and others, they can sell all the properties in Boston and walk away in style, completely away from danger.
Lao Zhou's youngest son is still lying in the intensive care unit, dying, and his life or death is uncertain!
Until the final result comes out, they have to stay in Boston and can't go anywhere.
In this situation, what they desire most is strong protection and safety.
In today's Boston, the only one who can protect their family is himself.
Xiao Ran understood what Lao Zhou had planned in the blink of an eye!
However, he did not intend to refuse Lao Zhou's request for help!
It can also be said that he was reluctant to let go of this set of Zheng Banqiao's landscape albums.
Xiao Ran did not take the landscape album immediately, but pretended to be surprised and said:
"Zheng Banqiao's landscape album, such a good thing! This is so rare!"
"Mr. Zhou, it seems that you still have a lot of good things. What you took out this afternoon is only part of the collection."
Lao Zhou nodded and said reluctantly:
"I do still have a few things, but they are just trinkets, not as good as the treasures I got in the afternoon."
"I personally like this set of Zheng Banqiao's landscape albums. I have kept them at home and have no intention of taking them out."
"Who knew something like this would happen tonight? To express my gratitude, I gave it to you. I believe you will like it."
Before he finished speaking, Xiao Ran continued:
"This is Zheng Banqiao's landscape album. Who wouldn't like it? I'm not polite."
"But I can't accept this gift in vain. I will find an expert to appraise it later and then bid for this treasure."
Lao Zhou shook his head.
"Xiao Ran, you're welcome. I've decided to give this set of Zheng Banqiao's landscape albums to you."
"You helped our family a lot today and saved our family. This small amount of gratitude is nothing."
Xiao Ran was about to say a few polite words, but Lao Zhou's wife suddenly interrupted and said:
"Mr. Xiao, just accept this set of landscape albums. This is our family's wish."
"In the next period of time, our family will have to rely on you to take care of us."
As she spoke, the old lady choked up.
She was both frightened by what had just happened, and also saddened by her family's unfortunate experiences during this period.
Now that the words have come to this, Xiao Ran can no longer refuse.
He reached out and took the set of Zheng Banqiao's landscape albums, and then nodded solemnly.
"Okay, then I'm not polite. It's better to obey than to be respectful. I can accept this gift."
"For the next period of time, you can just live here with peace of mind and don't have to worry about safety."
After the words fell, Lao Zhou's family all let out a sigh of relief.
After chatting for a few more words, Xiao Ran took the people out of the room and returned to the presidential suite upstairs.
As soon as they left, Lao Zhou's eldest son immediately whispered:
"Dad, can Xiao Ran be trusted at such a young age? Can he really protect the safety of our family? I'm still a little worried."
Lao Zhou looked at his son, and then nodded solemnly.
"You don't work in the field of antique art collection, you don't understand this industry, and you don't understand Xiao Ran either."
"Although he is only in his twenties, he is a legendary existence in the field of American and Chinese antique art collections."
"Since he entered the industry, he has created countless miracles, each of which is incredible, but extremely real and shocking."
"He also has a very strong force and has never suffered any losses. More importantly, he is a man who keeps his promise!"
"In Boston, he is the strongest support we can find, not even the Boston police can compare."
Upon hearing this introduction, Lao Zhou's son was stunned and stunned.
In a moment, Xiao Ran had returned to the presidential suite upstairs.
After entering the suite, he did not immediately take out Zheng Banqiao's landscape album to enjoy, but called David and Sam to the study.
Then, he said coldly:
"Sam, ask the technicians to analyze and process the videos shot by Boss Zhou and Boss Sun."
"Extract the portraits and vehicle information of the robbers in the video, and then send the photos to the two leaders of the Hongmen and Vietnam gangs."
"That is, Jiang Jianfeng and Ruan Dongsheng, let them identify whether those robbers are their subordinates. I need an answer."
"I only give them one day, either to stand up and admit this, and let the armed robbers go to the police station to surrender themselves."
"Either you have to wait to become the target of a high bounty and be hunted down by the police and other people. That's a dead end!"
After the words fell, Sam immediately nodded and responded:
"Okay, Sean, leave this to me. It will be done soon."
However, David raised objections.
"Sean, isn't this inappropriate? The target of those robbers is not you, but several Chinese antique dealers."
"If you take action against those robbers, will it cause criticism and make people think that you are too lenient and too domineering?"
Xiao Ran looked at him and then shook his head.
"No! David, I have to do this, I'm different from other antique dealers!"
"Since I often live broadcast on the Internet, it is difficult to maintain strict confidentiality, and the same goes for the antique dealers I deal with."
"I have to ensure the safety of my trading partners so that other antique dealers can trade with me without worrying about leaking secrets and incurring danger."
"If you are in danger by trading antiques and art with me, who will be willing to do business with me in the long run?"
"Using this incident, I want to tell all antique dealers that they can safely trade with me without worrying about being in danger."
After hearing this explanation, David couldn't help but fell silent.
After thinking for a moment, he nodded.
"That's the truth. You can use this incident to establish your authority!"
Xiao Ran smiled and nodded.
"Yes, I just want to establish my authority!"
