After Sam left, Xiao Ran immediately took out his mobile phone and called the director of the Gardner Museum.
The call was connected in an instant, and Peggy's voice came immediately.
"Good evening, Sean, I finally got your call. Is there any good news?"
Hearing this, Xiao Ran suddenly laughed.
"Good evening, Peggy, you are right, I do have good news for you."
"I'm ready to close the net. You can bring people to Philadelphia!"
"According to my guess, the top-notch artworks stolen from your museum 30 years ago should be in Philadelphia."
"In other words, you will be able to see those top-notch works of art in a few days."
Before he finished speaking, he heard a thump on the other side of the phone, followed by another sound of pain.
Needless to say, that guy Peggy probably fell to the ground in excitement.
"What happened, Peggy, are you okay?"
Xiao Ran asked with concern.
The next moment, Peggy's voice was trembling with excitement.
"It's okay, Sean. I accidentally slipped off the chair. Although it hurt a little, luckily I wasn't injured."
"Tell me about the situation on your side. Have you already locked in on the two art thieves and have enough evidence?"
While saying this, this old friend kept sucking his mouth.
Xiao Ran shook his head gently.
"It's not convenient to talk about these things on the phone, Peggy. Someone might be tapping your phone."
"For the sake of confidentiality, I will brief you on the details after you arrive in Philadelphia."
"If possible, you'd better come to Philadelphia tomorrow morning and go directly to the Philadelphia Museum of Art."
"In this operation, we also cooperated with the Philadelphia Museum of Art, as well as the FBI Art Crime Unit and the Philadelphia Police."
"Tomorrow morning at the Philadelphia Museum of Art, I am going to hold a multi-party meeting to finalize a plan of action!"
Before he could finish speaking, Peggy responded hurriedly.
"Okay, Sean, I'll make the arrangements and rush to Philadelphia early tomorrow morning."
"Don't worry, I will keep it confidential and will never leak it."
“But what I didn’t expect was that the Philadelphia Museum of Art was also involved.”
Next, Xiao Ran chatted with this old friend for a few words before hanging up the phone.
Then, he began to discuss tomorrow's negotiations with David.
David was also asked to draft a cooperation agreement and a distribution agreement to be signed by the FBI Art Crime Unit and the Philadelphia Police tomorrow.
While they were busy, the Philadelphia Police Commissioner got the message.
When he learned that Xiao Ran proposed a big business deal that could benefit the Philadelphia police tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of dollars, the guy was stunned.
After repeated confirmation that this was not a joke, the police chief, who was almost going crazy because of poverty, immediately fell into madness.
"Oh God! This is a big business that can bring us tens of millions of dollars, or even hundreds of millions of dollars, and it's completely legal. Did I hear you right?"
"If this were true, that would be awesome! I love this crazy bastard Sean!"
"When he comes to Philadelphia in the future, I can drive a police car to clear the way for him. This kid is simply an angel!"
"Hahaha"
Listening to the director's incoherent words, the head of the serious crime team immediately burst into laughter.
In fact, it's not just them.
All the Philadelphia police officers who heard the news instantly fell into madness.
Fortunately, not many police officers knew the news immediately, and they were all quickly warned that it must be kept strictly confidential!
In a short period of time, there is basically no need to worry about leaks.
When the joint operation is officially launched tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, there will be no need to leak the secret!
While cheering wildly, these Philadelphia police officers' impression of Xiao Ran had undergone a 180-degree change!
A few minutes ago, Xiao Ran gave them the impression that he was a ruthless bastard who was determined to retaliate and regarded human life as nothing!
And now Xiao Ran is like an angel without wings!
The head of the FBI Art Crime Unit also received the news at this time.
This guy seemed a little unbelievable and froze on the spot.
It took him a long time to react.
Then he gritted his teeth and said:
"As long as we are in the United States, all crimes related to antiques and artworks fall under our jurisdiction."
"This bastard Sean is just a super rich man and a gringo, and his company is just an exploration company."
"What qualifications does he have to bring up cooperation with us? Why should he dictate to us?"
Hearing this, the other FBI agents looked unhappy.
At this moment, a detective in his thirties suddenly said:
"The reason Sean, the bastard, proposed to cooperate with us is obviously because we are in charge of law enforcement, and he can't get around it at all!"
"The reason why he dares to raise conditions is because he has a lot of key information that we don't know."
"Without a second thought, this bastard has targeted the two art thieves who looted the Gardner Museum 30 years ago and is ready to take action!"
"From this point of view, I think we can cooperate with this bastard Sean"
"This bastard is interested in half of the top-notch works of art. What we want is a reward of 10 million US dollars. Everyone gets what they want!"
“Also, those two art thieves may have a lot of rewards on their backs, so you definitely can’t miss them!”
Hearing this, the eyes of all the FBI agents in the room suddenly lit up, shining brightly, and they were extremely excited!
Each of them had a glimmer of greed in their eyes, which they couldn't hide at all!
That is a high reward of at least 10 million US dollars. Who can not be moved by it?
At this moment, an FBI agent's cell phone suddenly rang, which was a message notification tone.
The guy took out his cell phone, took a look at it, and then said eagerly:
"Boss, there is news from the Philadelphia Police Department. That bastard Sean has also sent an invitation to the Philadelphia Police Department for cooperation."
"And that bastard said that this cooperation will bring tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of dollars in huge income to the Philadelphia police, and it is legal income!"
"Ah! Is it true?"
There was an exclamation of exclamation at the scene, and everyone was shocked by this message.
The detective holding the mobile phone nodded and continued:
"The Chief of Police of Philadelphia has made a decision to have a meeting with that bastard Sean tomorrow to discuss cooperation."
"If things are really like what that bastard Sean said, we must not miss this kind of good thing, otherwise we will definitely regret it for the rest of our lives!"
"With the involvement of the Philadelphia police, that bastard Sean will even try to get rid of us and cooperate with the police to solve this matter..."
Before this guy could finish speaking, the other agents all turned to look at the team leader, with anxious looks in their eyes.
Looking at the team leader again, his eyes were red.
"The Philadelphia police can benefit tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of dollars at a time? Why does that bastard Sean boast about this?"
"Could it be that those two art thieves are carrying many shocking crimes, have huge bounties on their backs, or have an astonishing net worth?"
The team leader muttered to himself, his eyes full of madness.
In a moment, this guy woke up, nodded and said:
"Guys, this matter must be reported to the assistant director in charge. Such cooperation has never been seen before!"
"But regardless of whether the director agrees or not, I will go to the art museum tomorrow to talk to that bastard Sean and see how he plans to cooperate."
"If things are really as he said, then this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to make a fortune that you must not miss."
With that said, the guy took out his cell phone and prepared to report to his immediate superior.
"That's right, boss, this is our chance to make a fortune."
The remaining FBI agents nodded hurriedly, and everyone's eyes were blood red.
