About half an hour later.
The bags filled with gold have all been moved onto the escort convoy parked outside the church door.
The escort convoy immediately started to leave, escorted by a large number of police cars, and headed for the financial district not far away.
Xiao Ran, who stayed in the church, gave some instructions to his staff, and then prepared to leave the church and return to the hotel.
When a group of them walked out of the church and were about to get in the car.
"Bang bang bang"
Suddenly there was a burst of fierce gunfire and the sound of a car crashing in the distance.
The moment the gunshots were heard, chaos broke out in front of the church.
Sam and the others reacted quickly, taking out their assault rifles and quickly becoming alert.
Xiao Ran and David immediately got into the bulletproof SUV, and then looked in the direction of the gunfire in surprise.
That was the direction the escort convoy left, Boston's financial district.
The crowd of onlookers gathered at the entrance of the chapel looked at the financial district with equal curiosity.
Many media reporters who were worried about the world being in chaos seemed to have heard the starting gun.
One by one, they carried cameras and camcorders and rushed straight to their respective vehicles, preparing to drive to the area where the incident occurred for interviews.
Many Boston police officers and security personnel guarding the chapel also immediately entered a state of high alert!
Looking at the chaotic scene outside, Xiao Ran, who was sitting in the car, couldn't help but shake his head and chuckle.
"Obviously, some reckless guys are eyeing that batch of gold and trying to rob the convoy."
"I wonder how those guys have such brains? This is Boston, and they actually dare to loot the gold of Boston Brahmins!"
Hearing this, David also laughed.
"You're right, Sean, these guys trying to rob the convoy are just a bunch of idiots!"
"Watch it, no matter whether they can succeed or not, none of them can escape from Boston. They will all die here."
"Boston police and even the National Guard will be dispatched soon to conduct extensive searches in the city."
Xiao Ran smiled and nodded.
"Indeed, there will be something exciting to watch next!"
"If I guess correctly, these stupid robbers should be from out of town, not local gangs in Boston."
While he was talking, Sam's voice suddenly came from the intercom.
"Sean, I just received news that the convoy transporting gold was attacked."
"What should we do? Do you want to support the escort team?"
Xiao Ran shook his head, then picked up the walkie-talkie and said:
"No need, Sam, the force of the escort team is enough to deal with the attack."
"Don't forget this is Boston, the domain of the Addams family."
"Boston police will respond immediately to support the escort team."
"Just remind the guys inside and outside the church to be more vigilant."
"Let's go back to the hotel and stay there to watch the show!"
As soon as the words fell, Sam responded immediately.
"Okay Sean, I'll let the guys know"
In the blink of an eye, the gunfire in the distance became sparse and moved rapidly.
It was clear that the situation at the scene of the firefight had changed.
After a while, Xiao Ran's motorcade left here and sped towards the hotel.
After a while, they were back at the hotel.
Almost at the same time they walked into the hotel door, the old town of Boston was also under full martial law.
As Xiao Ran expected, almost all the Boston police were mobilized and began to search for the robbers in the city.
Even the National Guard was dispatched, causing the whole neighborhood to be in a state of panic.
Seeing Xiao Ran and the others back safely, Yi Lian and Fang Yufei both let out a sigh of relief and immediately relaxed.
When they heard gunshots before, they thought it was Xiao Ran and the others who had a conflict with someone, and a fight broke out in the street.
After entering the room, washing and disinfecting, Xiao Ran briefly introduced the situation to them.
Immediately afterwards, he called John again and asked about the situation.
On the phone, John told him.
Although the escort convoy was attacked, there was no damage and no piece of gold was robbed. Only a few security personnel and policemen were slightly injured.
The robbers who attacked the escort convoy were a group of black men and seemed to be gangsters from out of town.
After the robbery failed, the robbers immediately dispersed and fled the scene.
Boston police are now searching the city, trying to catch the robbers.
After listening to John's introduction, Xiao Ran pondered for a moment and then said:
"John, since this happened, should the transaction between us be suspended for a while?"
"When you take care of these robbers, it won't be too late for us to continue trading."
Before he finished speaking, John had already rejected the proposal.
"Don't worry at all, Sean, the transaction continues, there is no need to pause"
"None of those idiots who don't know how to live or die can escape. They will be caught soon."
"Today's robbery is actually not a bad thing."
"The failure of those idiots can serve as a warning to other guys with ulterior motives hiding in the dark."
Hearing what he said, Xiao Ran suddenly laughed.
"Okay, since you think it's safe, let's continue trading."
"Wait until tomorrow, and I will let the exploration team continue to clean up the gold hidden in the underground cracks."
After chatting for a few more words, he hung up the phone.
After a while, Xiao Ran took Elaine and the others out of the presidential suite and went to the restaurant downstairs for dinner.
Meanwhile, New York's JFK Airport.
Several staff members of the Chinese Mission to the United Nations boarded a business jet one after another, preparing to leave New York and return home to report on their duties!
Soon, the business jet taxied along the runway and then soared into the sky.
The moment the business jet took off, Counselor Wang, who came to see him off, immediately took a deep breath and relaxed.
Then, a bright smile broke out on his face.
…
In the blink of an eye, three days have passed.
Joint exploration operations have continued over the past three days.
A large amount of gold hidden at the bottom of underground cracks was quickly cleared out by many exploration team members.
The gold ingots and gold sand among them were all packed and lifted to the ground.
In addition, those antique cultural relics made of gold are still left deep underground and have not been transported to the surface.
Many corpses that were also buried deep in underground cracks were also cleared out and all brought to the surface.
After the corpses are brought to the ground, they will be cleaned again and the gold sand mixed in the gaps between the bones will be poured out.
Next, the remains will be loaded into containers.
Once a container is filled, it will be taken to Yale University for storage, waiting for further screening and research.
Of course, most of the corpses end up being cremated and buried!
In three days, the Yale exploration team has transported five containers of corpses from here, an astonishing amount.
As for the gold that was lifted to the ground, Xiao Ran sold it to the Boston Brahmins headed by the Adams family.
And the amount is getting bigger day by day, and the money Xiao Ran earns is also getting more and more every day.
Within a few days, he had billions more dollars in his two bank accounts.
Faced with the flood of money, bank managers in China and the United States became uneasy and kept calling Xiao Ran to confirm the source of these huge sums of money.
No need to ask about the result!
These huge sums of money are all legitimate income, and every penny will see the light of day!
In addition to trading with John every afternoon, Xiao Ran was not idle the rest of the time.
In the past few days, he has been visiting various museums in Boston, admiring the antique artworks displayed in those museums, and improving his appreciation ability and strength.
While visiting various museums, he also reached some agreements with several of them.
Use Indian antiques found in colonial treasures in exchange for Chinese antiques collected in museums, and everyone gets what they need!
When the museum closes in the afternoon, he will lead people to the chapel to conduct transactions with John and others.
In this way, he didn't delay anything and lived a very comfortable life.
While talking, today's gold transaction has been completed.
With the conclusion of this heavyweight transaction, Xiao Ran's two bank accounts had nearly one billion dollars more.
All the gold hoisted to the ground today fell into the hands of the Boston Brahmin families, once again increasing the wealth of these wealthy families.
Faced with such a result, the old guys headed by John all laughed so hard that they couldn't even see their eyebrows!
Less than ten minutes after the transaction was completed, Xiao Ran received confirmation calls from Miller, his sister-in-law, and two bank managers from China and the United States.
After confirming that the payment has been received, John is ready to leave with today's harvest.
"Sean, according to what you said, the gold hidden in the underground cracks should be cleaned up tomorrow."
"In addition to the remaining gold, we also want to acquire a batch of Indian antiques, including a large number of Indian-style gold products."
"We can sit down and discuss the prices of these Indian antiques and gold and silver treasures!"
John said expectantly.
Several other family heads present at the scene also nodded, apparently in agreement.
Xiao Ran looked at these guys and then joked:
"It can be seen that your family's heritage is very profound. After spending billions of dollars to purchase massive amounts of gold, you still have sufficient funds to purchase a large number of antique cultural relics."
"Since you are interested in buying those Indian antiques and gold and silver treasures, of course I will not refuse."
"It would be great if you are willing to exchange some Chinese antiques and artworks."
"For the Indian antiques in this treasure, I would rather exchange them with various museums for Chinese antiques!"
Hearing this, John and the others couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
They looked at each other and were ready to respond.
At this moment, Marvin, who was guarding outside the church door, suddenly walked in quickly.
Coming closer, this guy immediately lowered his voice and said:
"Sean, there's a group of Indians coming outside, it's obviously an agreement!"
"They all came dressed up in the costumes of their respective tribes, and everyone had eagle feathers and golden pheasant feathers on their heads!"
"According to their own introduction, they respectively represent the Sioux, Navajo, Cherokee, and Canadian Algonquin and other Indian tribes."
"These representatives are chiefs of various tribes. They want to meet and talk with you. What do you think?"
Before he finished speaking, there was an exclamation of surprise on the scene.
"Ah! Chiefs from all the major Indian tribes in North America have actually come to Boston. Did I hear that right?"
Xiao Ran was stunned for a moment, then smiled and nodded.
"The chiefs of the major Indian tribes want to see me, which sounds interesting!"
"Marvin, you can let the chiefs in, but their followers are not allowed to follow."
"One more thing, there must be strict security checks, they cannot carry any weapons!"
"If you can't accept this condition, then don't let them in!"
After the words fell, Marvin immediately nodded and responded:
"Okay, Sean, I'll tell the Indian chiefs"
After saying that, the guy turned around and walked out of the church.
