It was approaching noon that Xiao Ran completed all of today's art transactions.
Then all the Chinese antiques and artworks exchanged were sent to the vault.
When they returned to the exhibition hall, Pierre and Falgot were ready to set off.
Following them out of Philadelphia were several Italians, none other than Ricardo and the others from the Brera Gallery.
The FBI and Philadelphia police did not play any tricks and allowed Pierre and the others to leave the United States with the stolen antiques and art.
As for the customs at Philadelphia Airport, you only need to go through a process.
Seeing that everything was ready, Xiao Ran announced the escort plan.
"Gentlemen, for safety reasons, today we are going to use several medium-sized helicopters to escort the transportation from the air."
"Falgot, Pierre, Ricardo, you can take a few medium-sized helicopters to the airport and supervise on-site in the cabin."
"Some of my armed security personnel will escort the rest and others to the airport in a convoy, moving simultaneously on the ground and in the air."
Upon hearing his arrangement, Pierre and the others were stunned for a moment.
Then, these guys nodded in unison.
"Okay, Sean, we have never experienced using helicopters to transport top-quality antiques and artworks in the air. It should be safer this way."
"We accept your arrangement and hope everything goes well"
Xiao Ran smiled and nodded, then looked at Frank.
Frank understood instantly and immediately continued:
"Gentlemen, don't worry about safety issues. Our FBI and police will send agents to follow the escort convoy all the way."
"After arriving at Philadelphia Airport, the FBI Art Crime Team will assist you in clearing customs as soon as possible and then fly to Paris."
After hearing his words, Falgot and the others immediately felt more relieved.
Afterwards, Xiao Ran picked up the walkie-talkie and said:
"Sam, you can have the four medium-sized helicopters fly over and prepare to start the escort operation."
"Let four medium-sized helicopters park in the parking lot inside the museum, and the escort fleet park in front of the museum."
As soon as the words fell, Sam responded immediately.
"Copy that, Sean, I'll notify you right away."
After saying that, he took action.
In just a moment, four medium-sized helicopters flew in from the sky outside and flew straight to the Philadelphia Museum of Art.
At the same time, numerous bulletproof SUVs in the escort convoy and Xiao Ran's group also drove over and stopped at the entrance of the museum.
Immediately afterwards, the Philadelphia police cars and FBI vehicles responsible for escort also rushed over.
Also arriving at the same time was a helicopter with the FBI logo on it, responsible for air security.
Everyone in the exhibition hall was stunned when they heard the roar of the huge engines of the helicopter group.
Xiao Ran smiled and said:
"Gentlemen, you can bring your antiques and artworks to the parking lot inside the museum."
“Fortunately, everyone doesn’t have many things in their hands, so they can move them all in one go without having to go back and forth.”
Falgot and the others immediately responded, nodding in unison:
"Okay, Sean, let's go to the museum parking lot."
With that said, everyone took action and began to transfer the top-notch antique artworks that had just been traded.
Outside the art museum.
The people and many media reporters who gathered outside the cordon to watch the excitement looked up at the several helicopters roaring in the sky and the motorcade parked in front of the museum.
"Wow! Four more medium-sized helicopters, obviously the work of that guy Sean, the sky over Philadelphia has almost become that bastard's airspace!"
"No way! Who gives that bastard endless money? He can take whatever he wants!"
Looking at the four medium-sized helicopters in the sky, some guys with ulterior motives in the crowd were so angry that their teeth almost broke!
They know very well that they don't even have a chance to take action.
I can only stand here and watch, watching those priceless stolen antiques and artworks being shipped away in batches and shipped to all parts of the United States and the world.
Thinking of this, those guys with ulterior motives wanted to immediately pull out their guns and rush straight into the Philadelphia Museum of Art to loot it wildly.
But they only dare to think about it and don’t dare to put it into practice!
The Philadelphia Museum of Art is now guarded by a large number of heavily armed police and FBI agents.
In this case, anyone who rushes to rob is seeking death.
Parking lot inside the museum.
Four medium-sized helicopters have landed one after another and opened the cabin door.
After several helicopters stopped, Xiao Ran and the others walked out of the back door of the museum and walked towards the helicopters.
During the march, Xiao Ran secretly activated his clairvoyance ability and quickly looked through all four medium-sized helicopters.
The four medium-sized helicopters performed very well without any issues.
The pilots of every helicopter are security personnel employed by Xiao Ran and are well-established.
While talking, everyone has arrived next to the four helicopters.
Immediately afterwards, Sam led people to inspect the helicopter.
No need to ask about the result!
After ensuring safety, Xiao Ran immediately told Fargot and the others that they could move the top antiques and artworks to the helicopter.
Next, Falgot and the others became busy.
Ten minutes later.
All the top antique artworks destined for Paris, France, have been loaded onto four medium-sized helicopters.
Afterwards, Falgot and the others stepped forward to hug Peggy, Timothy and others goodbye before boarding several helicopters.
Xiao Ran took Elaine and the others, as well as David Marvin and others, into the helicopter cabin.
The rest of the security team led by Sam, as well as other French and Italian guys, will take the convoy outside to the airport.
A few minutes later.
Four medium-sized helicopters took off one after another and flew into the sky.
As soon as the helicopter left the ground, Xiao Ran immediately said through the intercom:
"Guys, raise the height of the helicopter to more than 300 meters to prevent someone from firing from the ground."
"Copy that, Sean."
There was a response from the intercom.
Immediately afterwards, the four medium-sized helicopters began to rise rapidly.
In the blink of an eye, they had all risen to more than 300 meters in the air, and then began to hover in the air.
Seeing this scene, those guys with ulterior motives hiding near the museum were completely desperate!
At this height, the assault rifles in their hands pose no threat at all, just like fire sticks!
Unless they have shoulder-launched anti-aircraft missiles, it is possible to shoot down those medium-sized helicopters.
But this is the heart of the United States and the center of Philadelphia. Where can I get shoulder-fired anti-aircraft missiles at this time?
A few minutes later.
Sam, the head of the FBI Art Crime Team, and others came out of the museum gate and walked straight to the motorcade parked in front of the door.
The group of them only had assault rifles and suitcases, but no antique artwork.
Seeing this scene, everyone outside the cordon became more certain.
The stolen antiques and artworks that were to be transported from the art museum were all in the four medium-sized helicopters in the sky.
While talking, Sam and the others all got in the car.
The escort convoy immediately started and drove away from the Philadelphia Museum of Art.
Several medium-sized helicopters hovering in the air also moved accordingly, following the convoy on the ground and flying straight to Philadelphia International Airport.
In an instant, the Philadelphia Museum of Art was left behind.
In the cabin of one of the medium-sized helicopters, Falgot and Pierre looked at the scenery outside curiously through the window.
At this time, both of them were very excited.
After the helicopter flew a certain distance, Falgot said with emotion:
"This trip to Philadelphia left a deep impression on me. This is the first time I have had such an experience."
"This guy Sean is so amazing, it's incredible. I have a feeling he can create many more miracles."
Pierre nodded slightly and then agreed:
"Me too, this trip to Philadelphia shocked me too much."
"As for Sean, I admire him very much. He is indeed a magical boy."
After chatting for a while, Falgot suddenly changed his tone.
"Pierre, what are you going to do with Rousseau's "Gypsy Girl by the River" that Sean and Elaine gave you?"
"Do you want to collect it yourself or sell it? If you collect it yourself, can you lend it to our museum for display? We are also interested in acquiring that painting."
Pierre looked at his old friend and shook his head slightly.
"That was a gift from Sean and Elaine. It has special meaning. I will not sell it, but keep it myself."
"But I won't keep that top-notch work of art at home. It should be displayed in the Louvre. That would be safer."
While they were chatting, the escort convoy was also moving forward quickly, getting closer and closer to Philadelphia International Airport.
Whether it was the helicopter fleet in the sky or the escort convoy on the ground, everything went very smoothly without any trouble.
Soon, more than an hour passed.
On the runway of Philadelphia International Airport, an Air France charter flight was getting ready to fly to Paris on the other side of the ocean.
The top-quality antiques and artworks shipped to the airport have successfully passed customs inspection and were shipped on the Air France charter flight.
Falgot and Ricardo have also boarded the plane and are ready to take off.
Only Pierre remained on the runway, saying goodbye to Elaine and Xiao Ran.
He hugged Xiao Ran and Yi Lian respectively, smiled and said:
"Sean, Elaine, I'm going back to Paris. You two need to get along well."
"The more important thing is to pay attention to safety. The environment you are in and the work you are doing are all dangerous."
Xiao Ran nodded slightly and said firmly:
"Don't worry, Pierre, I will take good care of Elaine and won't let anyone hurt her."
"We will also get along well and fall in love. I am a dedicated man, not like you French men!"
"Hahaha"
Pierre and Elaine both laughed.
After chatting for a few more words and hugging again, Pierre boarded the Air France charter plane behind him.
Xiao Ran and the others waved their hands and then exited the runway.
Immediately afterwards, the Air France charter plane closed the door and taxied forward.
After taxiing for a certain distance, the Air France charter plane roared up at the far end of the runway, rushed into the sky, and flew straight to Paris on the other side of the ocean.
