A peaceful night, another new day.

nine in the morning.

Xiao Ran left the hotel as usual and was going to rush to the chapel to check on the progress of the exploratory cleanup operation.

What happened yesterday did not scare him so much that he hid in the hotel.

As soon as the group of them came out of the elevator, many media reporters who had been waiting in the hotel lobby for a long time immediately surrounded them.

After being stopped by the security personnel, these guys started asking questions loudly at the top of their lungs.

"Good morning, Mr. Sean, I am a reporter from the New York Times. Do you have anything to say about the attempted assassination against you yesterday?"

"According to relevant news, the person who planned yesterday's attempted assassination seems to be closely related to Texas Senator Cruz. What do you think of this?"

A white reporter in his thirties asked loudly, obviously fearing that the world would not be in chaos.

This reporter is from the New York Times and naturally dislikes the right-wing and conservative Cruz.

Now there is an opportunity to put eye drops on Cruz, and of course this guy will not let go of this opportunity.

Following his question, the scene immediately burst into exclamations.

Even though many people knew about this, they were still shocked.

You know, the person involved in this attempted assassination is a new super-rich man who has risen like a rocket, and is unparalleled in the limelight!

The other person is a powerful senator in Congress and is a well-known die-hard anti-China element.

Such a storm was so eye-catching and shocked almost everyone!

What shocked people even more was this kind of bottomless, cruel and bloody plunder, which made everyone tremble with fear!

Changing places, who can guarantee that the next person to be robbed in this way will not be you?

To some extent, Cruz made a big mistake and touched everyone's nerves!

As a senator in Congress, his popularity is so ugly that he doesn’t even have the basics to cover it up!

As soon as the New York reporter finished speaking, another reporter immediately asked:

"Good morning, Mr. Shawn, I'm a reporter for the Washington Post."

"According to news from Washington, several senators have called for a criminal investigation into Cruz to thoroughly investigate his relationship with this attempted murder."

"And some senators have proposed suspending Cruz from all duties and even starting impeachment proceedings. What do you think of these things?"

Xiao Ran glanced at these media reporters, then smiled and said loudly:

"Good morning, ladies and gentlemen, friends from the media, I'm glad to see you all here, thank you for your attention."

"Regarding yesterday's attempted assassination, the Boston police are conducting an investigation. I believe there will be results soon. You can pay attention to the relevant police reports."

"Before the results of the police investigation are released, as a person involved, I cannot say anything more, so as not to cause unnecessary interference and affect the police's handling of the case."

"I hope the police will handle the case impartially and severely punish every criminal involved in this matter. That's all I have to say. I wish everyone a good day."

After speaking, he waved to the media reporters and then walked towards the hotel with David and the others.

Naturally, those media reporters would not give up and kept asking questions.

However, they received no response.

During the march, Sam quickly introduced the situation outside.

For safety reasons, they have thoroughly checked the hotel entrance and arranged several hidden sentries.

After some investigation, they found no danger.

While Sam was reporting the situation, Xiao Ran secretly turned on the clairvoyance and quickly looked through the outside of the hotel door.

He didn't miss any of the cars parked outside the hotel, the crowds and media reporters watching the scene, the hotel security and police maintaining order, and the several buildings across the street.

The result was that he found nothing.

It's safe outside, at least as far as the eye can see.

While they were talking, the group of them had already walked out of the hotel door.

At this time, the corresponding motorcade had stopped at the entrance of the hotel.

Utilizing the tall body of the bulletproof SUV, these vehicles together form a barrier, blocking the view from all directions around them.

In this case, even if there is a gunman ambushing nearby, it is impossible to see Xiao Ran, so there is no sniper attack!

In the blink of an eye, Xiao Ran and David were in the car and closed the door.

Elaine and the others did not come with them today, but stayed in the hotel.

When Sam and the others got into the car, several bulletproof SUVs immediately started to drive away from the hotel and headed straight towards the block where Faneuil Hall is located.

In a short time, the motorcade arrived at the entrance of the chapel.

Compared with yesterday, the security here is even tighter, and SWAT police with loaded guns can be seen everywhere.

There are many more people and media reporters gathered here to watch the excitement than yesterday.

As Xiao Ran and the others arrived, the scene immediately became excited.

In particular, many media reporters were as excited as if they had been given a shot of chicken blood. They raised their cameras one after another and took pictures of the motorcade.

However, Xiao Ran ignored these guys.

Before he even got out of the car, Sam had already led people to hold up five or six bulletproof umbrellas, blocking all views from around him.

After getting off the car, Xiao Ran and David walked straight into the chapel and did not stay outside for a moment.

As soon as they entered the church, Xiao Ran and the others saw it.

The floor in the center of the church was covered with bones, which made people feel numb just looking at them.

Needless to say, all the white bones on the ground were transported from underground cracks.

Professor Baker and the others have launched an operation to clean up and transport the numerous bones in the underground cracks.

When they saw Xiao Ran and the others coming in, Professor Baker and others, who were standing at the edge of the pit, immediately came over to greet them.

After meeting and greeting, Professor Baker said excitedly:

"Sean, as we expected, there are indeed many good things hidden under the bones at the bottom of the underground cracks."

"After the operation to clean up the bones was launched, the exploration team members successively discovered many exquisite gold statues and other antique cultural relics."

"The origins of these antiques and gold and silver treasures are diverse, from different Indian tribes, and have different styles."

"It can be seen from this that in addition to using their enemies to kill people, the Massachusetts people also threw plundered things into this underground world for sacrifices."

As he spoke, he took the iPad and showed off the newly discovered antiques and gold and silver treasures.

Xiao Ran looked at the pictures of those things, then smiled and nodded.

"It seems that there are more and bigger surprises hidden in this underground world, which are worthy of our exploration!"

"What are you going to do with these cleaned bones? Are you going to take them back to Yale for research, or are you going to bury them on site?"

As he spoke, he pointed to the white bones on the ground.

Professor Baker looked at the bones and immediately gave the answer.

"There are too many bones in this underground crack. We can't bring them all back to Yale for study."

"We will do some screening and take some back to Yale for research and see what we can find."

"Most of the remaining bones, we are going to put them into containers and temporarily store them somewhere in Boston."

"When you have time later, you can bury these bones or cremate them directly."

"How to deal with these bones, we may need to consult the Indian tribes for their opinions, which may be a bit troublesome."

Xiao Ran nodded and said nothing more.

Later, he briefly learned about the progress of the exploratory cleanup operation and viewed relevant videos.

Nick, who led the team to explore here, came up to report the situation.

During this process, Xiao Ran secretly observed the scene.

He walked to the edge of the pit, looked down from a high position, and took a look at the situation deep in the secret passage.

During the fluoroscopy process, he found nothing unusual and everything was going on in an orderly manner.

The hands and feet of many employees and Yale exploration team members at the scene were very clean, and no one secretly brought antiques or gold with them.

After briefly understanding the situation at the scene, Xiao Ran chatted a few words with Professor Samuel and others.

These history professors and archaeologists from Harvard University and MIT have been staying here for the past two days and cannot be driven away! .

Although they cannot enter the underground cracks to explore, they can stay in the church and watch the exploration and cleanup process on the big TV screen.

Each of them gained a lot from this and enjoyed it so much that they stayed here all day long and refused to leave.

After chatting with these professors, Xiao Ran led the people out of the small church.

Afterwards, they took a bus to the nearby financial district and went to the bank vault to pick up things.

When they arrived at the financial district and were about to enter the bank vault, David's phone suddenly rang.

The phone was connected, and a senior Boston lawyer at the police station reported to them the latest situation.

The head of the NASA committee's security department, as well as Cruz's brother-in-law, just surrendered to the police and took all the blame for yesterday's incident.

In this way, Cruz can escape smoothly.

Although he will still be attacked wildly by his political opponents, nothing major will happen to him, and his status as a senator will definitely be preserved.

The gunmen arrested yesterday all pleaded guilty and will face jail time.

After listening to the report, Xiao Ran couldn't help but sneer.

"As expected of an old fox who has been in politics for many years, he moves really fast and knows how to cut off his tail to survive!"

"Now that they have paid the price, let's let this matter go. I hope there will be no next time!"

Upon hearing this, David immediately let out a sigh of relief and finally relaxed.

Then, he immediately nodded and said:

"Okay, Sean, I will tell the other party what you mean. I believe Cruz will not provoke you again."

Xiao Ran nodded, and then said coldly:

"I hope so, but we still have to be vigilant to prevent these bastards from playing any tricks."

"Got it, Sean"

Sam nodded in response.

After chatting for a while, they walked into the bank building to pick up the antique artwork stored in the vault.

Soon, the time came to eleven o'clock in the morning.

After leaving the financial district, Xiao Ran and the others went straight back to the hotel.

At this time, Counselor Wang and Director Zhao had arrived at the hotel, ready to participate in the upcoming negotiations.

After meeting for a few words, Xiao Ran took them into the study to discuss the transaction.

The moment I entered the study room and passed by by mistake.

A small digital memory card suddenly flew out of Xiao Ran's hand and flew silently into Counselor Wang's coat pocket.

This action happened in the blink of an eye, and no one noticed it except Xiao Ran himself.

The moment he successfully sent out the digital memory card, a smile flashed across Xiao Ran's eyes and he relaxed a lot.
