Philadelphia Museum of Art, Helipad.
Looking at the many boxes, painting bags and painting tubes placed on the floor, Timothy and others all looked shocked.
"Sean, you are like a legend."
"Every time I go to a place, I will sweep up the local antique art market, causing huge disturbances."
"On your second day in Philadelphia, you have robbed so many treasures. Those antique shops and galleries that you looted are really unlucky!"
Timothy said with emotion, with a sour taste in his tone.
Not only him, but also several other senior officials of the Philadelphia Museum of Art present.
"Sean, the news that you found over $50 million worth of Chinese antique porcelain in that unfortunate Jones's antique store has spread throughout Philadelphia and caused quite a stir."
"In several other antique shops and galleries, I heard that you also found many treasures."
"Can we also take a look at these treasures and open our eyes?"
Another museum executive said.
The others also nodded, looking forward to it.
Xiao Ran looked at these old friends, pondered for a moment, then nodded and said:
"Of course, no problem. I can show you some of today's gains later."
"But the truth is far from being as exaggerated as the legend. There are many things here that I bought for the fans in the live broadcast room."
"Although those things can be considered antique works of art, their value is relatively average."
"As for the claim that I looted those antique shops and galleries, it is just an exaggeration."
Timothy and the others just smiled and didn't take it seriously.
They know that the legend may be exaggerated, but it is not far from the truth.
The reason is simple. Several of them know Jones and have called to confirm and know the truth!
After chatting for a while, Xiao Ran directed his staff to move all the boxes, painting bags and painting tubes onto the hand luggage cart, and then walked into the museum under the leadership of Timothy.
Immediately afterwards, two medium-sized helicopters took off one after another and flew straight into the distance.
Seeing this scene, those guys who followed outside the museum and still had no intention of giving up suddenly understood!
It’s totally out of the question, all your hard work has been in vain!
Soon, nearly an hour had passed.
After showing and introducing some of the harvested antique artworks and storing all the treasures in the vault, Xiao Ran and Timothy walked out of the vault.
At this time, Timothy and the others still had a bit of shock and endless envy in their eyes.
Xiao Ran's gains this morning made each of them envious and even jealous.
Before this, they had never thought about it.
Who can discover and buy so many high-quality antiques and art at such low prices in such a short period of time? It is simply impossible!
It wasn't until Xiao Ran appeared in Philadelphia and those antique artworks appeared in front of them that they believed there would be such a miracle!
While envious and jealous, they also beat their chests with regret and felt extremely distressed!
I go to the antique shops and galleries around the museum often, and I couldn’t be more familiar with them!
Why didn't I discover these valuable treasures? I was blind!
Seeing the painful expressions on these guys, Xiao Ran secretly chuckled, feeling so happy!
This time he entered the vault of the Philadelphia Museum of Art. In addition to storing today's harvest, he also found out part of the Philadelphia Museum of Art's fortune.
All the antique artworks stored in the vault of the Philadelphia Museum of Art were thoroughly examined by him, and he understood them clearly!
Among these antique artworks that are not on public display, there are many antique artworks from China, including national treasures!
Later, when he cooperates with this top museum and conducts transactions, he can calmly set the price!
In addition, he also took this opportunity to improve his own strength!
Such a God-given opportunity is certainly not to be missed!
After walking out of the vault area, Timothy immediately said:
"Sean, it's lunch time now, let's go eat first!"
"Let's talk about cooperation after lunch."
Xiao Ran nodded immediately.
"That's no problem. I'd also like to try lunch at the Philadelphia Museum of Art."
After saying that, the group of them walked towards the restaurant.
at the same time.
During his lunch break, McCann left the gallery alone and drove off the street where the gallery was located.
This guy was very careful. While driving, he kept looking through the rearview mirror to see if anyone was following him.
After circling several nearby streets to make sure no one was following him, he drove towards his real destination.
But little did he know that someone had secretly installed a GPS positioning device and eavesdropping equipment on his car.
His driving route and every word he said in the car were instantly known.
After a while, McCann drove onto another street in the Art District and stopped in front of a building on the street.
Before getting out of the car, he changed into another coat and put on sunglasses, and then got out of the car.
The first time he landed and stood firm, he quickly scanned his surroundings.
Seeing that there were no suspicious people or vehicles around, McCann walked into a restaurant on the street.
Two or three minutes later, he came out of the back door of the restaurant, walked forward about fifty or sixty meters, and then turned into a secluded side street.
A few minutes later, he appeared in an ordinary apartment.
This apartment is small in size, the interior furnishings are simple, and it is quite old. It must not have been decorated for decades.
Fortunately, the furniture is complete. Although it is a bit old, it has everything it needs.
At first glance, this is just an ordinary apartment, nothing special about it.
When McCann walked into the apartment, a guy who was drinking in the living room immediately put down his glass and stood up.
This is a white man with a ponytail, about sixty years old, and he seems to have a bit of an artist's temperament.
Seeing McCann come in, this guy couldn't wait to ask:
"McCann, I just saw some news on social media"
"Is it true that that guy Sean almost got into a fight with a gangster when he was in your gallery?"
"One more thing, I heard that guy bought some paintings from your gallery, what paintings are they?"
McCann did not respond immediately, but sat down on the sofa and let out a sigh of relief.
Immediately afterwards, he picked up the whiskey on the table, poured himself a glass, and then raised the glass and drank it in one gulp.
After putting down the wine glass, he nodded with lingering fear and said:
"Yes, that bastard Sean did almost get into a fight with the gangsters who came outside after hearing the news when he was shopping in my gallery."
"That bastard Sean and his men are just a bunch of lunatics, a bunch of heavily armed thugs in suits, even more exaggerated and crazy than the legend says!"
"This is the first time I've seen people driving bulletproof SUVs and medium-sized helicopters, wearing body armor, and carrying assault rifles while visiting art galleries. It's really eye-opening!"
"Ah! There is such a crazy bastard, is it true?"
The white man with a ponytail exclaimed, his eyes full of horror!
Before he finished speaking, McCann nodded and said:
"Of course it's true. I saw all this with my own eyes."
"Those crazy bastards even set up a defensive position in front of my gallery, ready to fight anyone who came to rob me!"
"My heart was in my throat at that time, lest I get angry and destroy the gallery and the top-notch works of art in the gallery."
"Fortunately, Sean arranged it carefully and scared off all the idiots who tried to rob. Then he left the gallery with the purchased items and went to the art museum."
Hearing this, the other white man's face became more and more solemn.
"It can be seen that Sean is more terrifying than the legend says. Do you think he is coming for us?"
"He had been to the Gardner Museum several times before when he was in Boston, and he seemed to have a good relationship with the current director."
"After coming to Philadelphia, he immediately went to the Philadelphia Museum of Art, and then to your gallery, which makes people suspicious."
"He has been in the gallery for so long. Did he discover the secrets hidden in the gallery? Should we be on guard?"
As this series of questions were asked, McCann's expression became more solemn.
After thinking for a moment, he said:
"As far as I know, Sean will visit major local museums wherever he goes. Some museums will even be visited multiple times."
"For example, the Metropolitan Museum of Art and MOMA in New York, the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, etc."
"From this point of view, that guy probably isn't coming for us."
"Before coming to my gallery, he went to several other antique shops and galleries and bought a lot of antique artworks."
"Although he bought a few paintings and a sculpture in the gallery, those things are not our hidden treasures, and he is more interested in Chinese antiques."
"Besides, I am very confident in my skills. Even Sean can't see any flaws."
"call!"
The other white man took a deep breath and relaxed a little.
The next moment, the guy poured himself a glass of wine and went straight to it.
"As long as this bastard Sean doesn't come for us, then I'll be relieved!"
"This legendary guy is really amazing, even so magical that it scares people!"
McCann nodded and then continued:
"This is truly an amazing guy, amazing!"
"Although he is not coming for us, we still have to be careful."
"With the arrival of this bastard, there will definitely be a turmoil in Philadelphia. The more low-key we are, the better."
Just as these two guys were plotting, Xiao Ran and the others had finished lunch.
After a short break, under the leadership of Timothy, the two parties walked into the conference room of the Philadelphia Museum of Art and started talks again.
