Xiao Ran spent the whole night on the sofa holding the HK433 short assault rifle.
At midnight, someone tried to sneak into the Ritz-Carlton Hotel using a refrigerated truck transporting seafood and meat, but was discovered by security personnel guarding the back door of the hotel.
Seeing that their whereabouts were exposed and that Xiao Ran's security personnel were fully armed and heavily guarded, those guys could only drive a refrigerated truck and fled the hotel in a hurry.
After receiving the news, the Boston police immediately drove to pursue and intercept the man.
The two sides briefly exchanged fire on another street not far away, alarming half of the old city of Boston.
One wave comes after another!
At about 2:30 in the morning, several paragliders and drones suddenly flew into the night sky, trying to get close to the roof of the hotel.
As you can imagine, this was another failed attempt.
As soon as those paragliders flew more than 200 meters away from the hotel, several searchlights on the roof of the hotel lit up at the same time.
The powerful beams projected from those searchlights firmly locked onto the guys who were flying paragliders for sneak attack, leaving those guys unable to hide.
Faced with this situation, those guys could only quickly adjust their direction and fly to other places quickly.
As for those drones, they were all shot down. They all fell to the ground and broke into pieces. The scrapped parts were scattered all over the place.
After this little episode, those guys hiding in the darkness finally stopped.
Xiao Ran, who had been holding the assault rifle in the living room, finally felt relieved and fell asleep immediately.
In a blink of an eye, the sky was already bright.
Xiao Ran, who was sleeping, was awakened by the pleasant ringtone of his cell phone.
He opened his eyes and looked at the sky outside, then picked up his phone and glanced at Laixian.
It's a video call from dad!
It was just dark in Beijing at this time, and it was probably just getting dark.
It was getting daylight here in Boston, and my father called me. Something should have happened.
Xiao Ran smiled softly and immediately answered the phone.
The next moment, dad and mom appeared on the phone screen.
On the sofa a little further away, there are also grandparents, grandparents, and my sister-in-law. It seems that all the relatives in the family are there, but only adults.
In addition to family members, Fang Yufei's parents were also in the living room, with excited expressions on their faces.
Seeing this situation at home, Xiao Ran couldn't help being stunned and a little confused.
At the same time, my parents and all the family members were also stunned, and their expressions changed instantly.
Obviously, everyone was shocked by Xiao Ran's fully armed appearance.
Before Xiao Ran could ask, her mother couldn't wait to ask:
"Xiaoran, why are you wearing a body armor? Is that a rifle on the sofa behind you?"
"What happened? Is it dangerous? Why are you sleeping on the sofa?"
My mother was like a barrage of questions, throwing a series of questions at me.
Following her words, everyone in the family became anxious, and everyone's eyes were full of worry.
Seeing this scene, Xiao Ran quickly explained:
"Mom, Dad, don't worry, nothing happened. I'm just taking precautions!"
"Didn't we discover a treasure in Boston yesterday? There are many good things in the treasure."
"For some special reasons, I brought some treasures back to the hotel, so I stepped up my guard to prevent accidents!"
"I will send those treasures to the vault later, and it will be no problem..."
Next, he briefly introduced the situation.
Like all wanderers, he reported good news but not bad news, so as not to worry his family.
After listening to his introduction, the family members felt relieved and their expressions changed.
After he finished introducing the situation, his father immediately continued:
"Xiao Ran, your exploration operation in Boston yesterday was just reported on the news."
"This discovery is said to have caused quite a stir. It caused a sensation throughout Europe and the United States, and also caused quite a stir in China."
Xiao Ran nodded proudly and then said:
"That's right! We found a lot of priceless treasures this time, which is why it caused such a big response."
"Using this discovery, I not only made a lot of money, but also exchanged for a lot of national treasure-level antiques and artworks, which will be shipped back to Beijing later!"
Upon hearing this, my father immediately laughed and cursed.
"You kid, just be silly! I have received all the huge sums of money transferred back to China today."
After chatting for a few words, Xiao Ran suddenly asked in surprise:
"Dad, it's the beginning of November now. It's not the New Year or the holiday. Why are all the family members here?"
"Did something happen? Seeing how happy everyone is, it must be a good thing."
"It makes me happy to hear it!"
Before he finished speaking, his mother gave him a blank look.
"As for your sharp eyes, some good things did happen at home!"
"The reason why my family got together is because we were invited to a banquet at the Diaoyutai State Guesthouse today."
"Everyone just came back from Diaoyutai, so they all came to the house..."
"Ah! Diaoyutai State Guesthouse, did I hear correctly?"
Xiao Ran exclaimed and froze on the spot.
While shocked, he understood instantly.
Why were my family invited to the Diaoyutai State Guesthouse? It was only my family and Fang Yufei’s parents, and no other guests were invited!
The origin of this honor was obviously due to the top-secret information that he had secretly sent home, as well as the countless national treasure-level antiques and artworks that had been lost overseas.
Of course, those national treasure-level antiques and artworks are just superficial reasons, and they are achievements that ordinary people can see!
You don’t need to think about it to know who the leader is entertaining his family at the Diaoyutai State Guesthouse!
Seeing Xiao Ran's surprised look, his parents and all the family members laughed.
Then, my mother smiled and said:
"This time I went to the Diaoyutai State Guesthouse for a banquet, and everyone thanked you for it."
"The people who invited our family to the banquet were several big leaders, and all the chiefs praised you very much."
"After this meeting, your father's position is probably going to change..."
My mother was very excited and wanted to continue talking, but my father stopped me in time.
"Don't forget where is Xiaoran? This is an overseas phone call. There are some things that cannot be said over the phone."
Upon hearing this, my mother immediately stuck out her tongue and quickly stopped talking, with a look of worry flashing in her eyes.
Xiao Ran smiled softly, and then comforted his mother.
"Mom, Dad, don't worry, my phone has been specially encrypted and will not be eavesdropped!"
Dad shook his head gently.
"Just in case, you still have to be cautious, and so do we."
"The United States is not a country after all, so you can never be too careful!"
"What happened to Mr. Ren's daughter is a lesson for the future!"
Hearing what his father said, Xiao Ran could only nod.
Immediately afterwards, Dad changed the subject.
"The reason why I called your boy today is because of another matter."
"You have an idea for the land to build your private museum, and it's a perfect piece of land!"
"This morning, the Cultural Relics Bureau and the Land and Resources Bureau called one after another and approved your application to build a private museum in the capital."
Before he finished speaking, Xiao Ran jumped up from the sofa and cheered excitedly.
"That's great! I didn't expect to find out so soon. This is really good news!"
"Dad, tell me quickly, where is this land?"
Seeing his ecstatic look, the family all laughed.
After the laughter subsided, Dad began to introduce the situation.
"This piece of land is at the southeast corner of the intersection of Wangfujing Street and Chang'an Street. It has an excellent location."
"And the area of this land is not small. It is smaller and more limited than the area occupied by the National Expo..."
Hearing this, Xiao Ran was shocked and froze on the spot, dumbfounded.
"The southeast corner of Wangfujing intersection is opposite Dongfangxintiandi!"
"It guards the most prosperous Wangfujing intersection in Beijing, and is not far from the Square, the Forbidden City, and the National Museum of China."
"It's no exaggeration to say that every inch of that land is valuable, and it's such a large area!"
"How much is that piece of land worth? I can't even think about it!"
Xiao Ran murmured to himself, almost incoherent with excitement.
Hearing this, Dad smiled and nodded.
"You're right, that piece of land is indeed valuable, even more expensive than gold!"
"But you don't have to worry. The money you transferred back to the country is completely enough to take over that land."
Xiao Ran shook his head, and then said decisively:
"That little money is not enough. It seems that I have to seize the time to make money, dig more treasures in Europe and the United States, and bring back some of the national treasure-level antiques and art that have been lost overseas."
"Since we have such a good piece of land, we can't waste it. I want to change my plan."
"I plan to build a top cultural complex in the country and even the world on that piece of land."
“It’s just like the Pompidou Center in Paris, France, but more beautiful and unique than the Pompidou Center!”
"Hahaha"
The family all laughed and everyone was overjoyed.
Then, my mother rolled her eyes angrily.
"How much money is enough? Your ambition is getting bigger and bigger!"
Next, Xiao Ran discussed with his father and others about purchasing the land and preparing to build a private museum.
After talking about business, he said hello to his grandparents and grandparents one by one, and asked about the physical condition of some elderly people.
At the end, Fang Yufei's parents suddenly came over.
"Xiaoran, where is Yufei, have you gotten up?"
"If she gets up, ask her to come over and have a chat with us."
Lao Fang asked impatiently.
While saying this, he was still observing Xiao Ran's expression and the surrounding situation.
Obviously, he was still a little uneasy.
Xiao Ran turned his head and looked towards Fang Yufei's bedroom, then smiled and shook his head.
"Uncle Fang, Aunt Lin, it's just dawn here, and Yu Fei hasn't gotten up yet!"
"Would you like me to wake her up and come over to have a chat with you two?"
Before he finished speaking, Lao Fang and Aunt Lin shook their heads.
"Forget it if she doesn't get up. Let her sleep more. Girls should sleep more!"
"I'll call that damn girl later. She has almost forgotten that there is a mother in Beijing!"
Aunt Lin said angrily, but her eyes were full of care.
After chatting for a few more words, Xiao Ran ended the call.
At this time, he was completely sleepless.
Then he took off his body armor, put on sportswear, and went to the gym in the presidential suite for morning exercise.
About forty minutes later.
Elaine and Fang Yufei got up one after another, walked into the gym, and started running on the treadmill.
During the morning exercise, Xiao Ran shared with them the good news he had just received.
Hearing him say that the land for the private museum had been secured, the two beauties were very excited and immediately cheered.
Especially Fang Yufei, she knew very well how precious the land at the Wangfujing intersection was.
If Xiao Ran could build a private museum on that piece of land, it would form a three-legged rivalry with the Forbidden City and the National Museum!
Coupled with the large collection of top-notch Chinese and Western antiques and art, his private museum will definitely become the world's top museum alongside the Forbidden City and the National Museum.
Due to the many top Western antique artworks in the museum, this private museum is different from the National Museum and the Forbidden City. It has distinctive characteristics and has become a unique existence.
Thinking of this, Fang Yufei was also very happy for Xiao Ran.
In the blink of an eye, it was already approaching eight o'clock in the morning.
After having breakfast and resting for a while, Xiao Ran called David and Sam over to discuss today's actions.
As soon as he entered the study room, David handed over a digital memory card!
"Sean, I have sorted out all the intelligence and information collected by Turner and the others, and they are all here."
"Okay, let me look back and talk about it later."
Xiao Ran nodded in response and said nothing more.
Then, he turned to look at Sam.
"Have you found out who those guys were who tried to approach the roof of the hotel by paragliding last night?"
"Ordinary thieves and gangsters don't have this ability. They can't really be those agents from MI5, right?"
