The next day, early morning.
After getting up, Xiao Ran immediately turned on the TV and tuned to the news channel.
The night passed.
The supporters who knew the king and surrounded the Capitol did not immediately launch a riot.
Most of them were still blocking the streets around Capitol Hill, blocking most of the streets.
Some of them left Capitol Hill, probably looking for a place to eat and rest.
Several streets around Parliament Hill have turned into camps for protestors, with camping tents and many RVs everywhere.
Every street was littered with trash, as if it had just been hit by a hurricane.
On those streets, military and police personnel with loaded guns and ammunition can be seen everywhere, and the atmosphere on the streets is still very tense.
Seeing that the riot hadn't happened yet, Xiao Ran breathed a sigh of relief.
He now needs to compete with those crazy guys for time and deal with his own affairs as soon as possible.
After watching the news reports for a while, he walked into the gym and went for morning exercises.
After a while, Yi Lian and Fang Yufei also woke up one after another and came over for morning exercises.
Soon, the time came to around 7:30 in the morning.
After breakfast, Xiao Ran was talking to David and others to arrange things for today.
At this moment, Counselor Wang finally called.
Xiao Ran looked at the display, then walked out of the study with his cell phone and went to answer the call.
When the call was connected, Wang Zanzan's voice came immediately.
"Good morning, Xiao Ran, the Air China charter flight and the coordination with relevant domestic departments have been settled."
"The Air China charter flight you want is parked at the Philadelphia International Airport and is filled with aviation fuel. It can take off back to China at any time."
"Several comrades from the Philadelphia office will meet you at the Art Museum later, and I will send you relevant information."
"When this Air China charter flight returns to China, the embassies and consulates in various countries will pay close attention to the movement of the aircraft. You can rest assured of this."
Hearing this, Xiao Ran's face immediately burst into a bright smile.
The next moment, he smiled and whispered:
"Come on! I knew it would be right to ask you for help if I need anything."
"Now that the Air China charter flight is settled, I will take action now."
"The escort this time was accompanied by my employees, lawyers, and security personnel."
"I arranged for people to pick me up in Beijing, including several old men from the Forbidden City and the National Museum of China."
Next, he briefly introduced the situation.
After talking about business, they ended the call.
Immediately afterwards, Counselor Wang sent over the information of several diplomatic personnel in the Philadelphia office and the Air China charter flight.
Among them were two diplomats who followed the chartered flight and escorted a large number of antique artworks back to the country.
Xiao Ran looked at their information before returning to the study.
After entering the study, he immediately said:
"Nick, please inform all company employees. Except for the group of guys working with you, other employees can leave the hotel in batches."
"It's best for everyone to spread out and leave by car from the underground garage. The security team will drive in the garage to pick up and protect everyone."
"Let everyone take the elevator dedicated to the presidential suite to go downstairs. The hotel surveillance system is currently under our control, so there is no need to worry about leaking your whereabouts."
"The reason why we do this is for safety reasons and to avoid those guys who are staring at us. Today's actions must be kept strictly confidential."
"After leaving the hotel, everyone immediately rushed to Philadelphia International Airport. We will meet at the airport. I will assign tasks to everyone then."
Before he finished speaking, Nick immediately nodded excitedly and said:
"Okay, Sean, I'll inform everyone right away."
With that said, the guy got up, left the study, and went out to do errands.
After he left, Xiao Ran looked at David and Sam again.
"Sam, let's leave the hotel by helicopter from the rooftop helipad as we have done in the past few days."
"But after we leave this time, we will not come back here. Let everyone bring all their luggage and equipment and be prepared."
"In addition, we have to leave two guys at the hotel until we arrive at the airport and let them handle some finishing work."
"Today we are escorting a large number of top-notch antiques and artworks to the Philadelphia International Airport, and the security work must be flawless!"
Sam immediately stood up and nodded vigorously.
"Don't worry, Sean, just leave these things to us. There won't be any problems."
"I have sent some guys out on the way to the airport to keep an eye on the situation along the way."
Xiao Ran nodded and continued to make arrangements.
Ten minutes later.
David and Sam left the suite together and went about their business.
at the same time.
Many company employees living on this floor walked out of their rooms one after another.
They pushed their suitcases and some boxes containing exploration equipment and lined up to go to the special elevator of the presidential suite.
When they came to the elevator, they divided into several groups, took the special elevator downstairs in small groups, and went straight to the underground garage.
In the underground garage, several security personnel drove their cars, preparing to pick them up and leave.
Everything that happened here was in order, but the Four Seasons Hotel knew nothing about it.
In the hotel control room, two security guards on duty were leaning on their chairs and taking a nap.
There was nothing unusual on the monitoring screen in front of them.
The corridor on the top floor where the presidential suite is located was calm as usual.
Occasionally, one or two figures would appear in that corridor and go into different rooms.
But who knew that it was a surveillance screen from a few days ago, and now it's just a video.
In a short time, many company employees had been evacuated successfully.
Only Nick and a group of people stayed behind, preparing to go to the art museum with Xiao Ran for errands.
Soon, it was approaching nine o'clock in the morning.
Xiao Ran walked out of the presidential suite with Elaine and the others, pushing their suitcases.
Sam and David were all ready and waiting in the corridor.
Xiao Ran looked at them, then smiled and said:
"Guys, let's go to the art museum and leave Philadelphia."
With that said, they walked towards the stairwell.
David and the others immediately followed, preparing to leave in a helicopter.
Nick, the others, and the rest of the security staff walked towards the elevator, preparing to take the car in front of the hotel.
They also have a mission, which is to confuse everyone inside and outside the hotel entrance.
Five or six minutes later, two medium-sized helicopters parked on the roof of the hotel roared into the sky one after another.
After Nick and the others walked out of the hotel, they also boarded the bulletproof SUVs parked in front of the hotel.
Seeing this scene, no one inside or outside the hotel was surprised at all.
Especially the eyeliners from all walks of life did not find anything unusual.
They have seen this scene many times in the past few days and have long been used to it!
But how did they know that when Xiao Ran left the hotel this time, he would never return here again!
While he was talking, the two medium-sized helicopters in the sky roared away and flew straight to the art museum not far away.
The same goes for the convoy on the ground, heading straight to the museum.
Soon, Xiao Ran and the others had flown to the art museum.
The two medium-sized helicopters then began their descent, eventually landing in the museum's internal parking lot.
A few minutes later.
Xiao Ran took Elaine and the others into the lobby on the first floor of the museum, and met Timothy and Peggy who were waiting here.
After meeting and greeting, Xiao Ran suddenly said:
"Gentlemen, I have decided to leave Philadelphia today with my staff and all antiques and art."
"The antique artworks stored in the vault will be shipped to Los Angeles and Beijing respectively."
“Some art transactions that have not yet been completed can only be completed later. In fact, there is no difference.”
"After leaving Philadelphia, I plan to go to New Haven and Boston to pick up the antique art stored in these two places."
"My series of transactions with the Gardner Museum and Harvard University Museum can be carried out in Boston."
"ah!"
Peggy and Timothy all exclaimed, and they were all stunned!
Frank and Scott, who were also at the scene, were also stunned for a moment.
Immediately afterwards, a look of surprise appeared on the faces of these two guys, and there was also a bit of unwillingness in their eyes.
The next moment, Timothy asked in surprise:
"Sean, why do you suddenly want to leave Philadelphia?"
"Aren't there still some transactions that haven't been completed? What happened?"
Xiao Ran looked at this guy, then smiled and said:
"Everyone must be well aware of what happened in Washington from yesterday to today."
"If the situation continues to deteriorate and becomes out of control, it is not difficult to guess what consequences it will have."
"Philadelphia is very close to Washington and is a very critical core swing state. Once something happens, it will definitely be affected."
"It was with this in mind that I decided to lead the team out of Philadelphia immediately to avoid any accidents."
"As for those transactions that have not been completed, they can still be completed in Los Angeles without any impact."
After hearing his explanation, Timothy and Peggy suddenly understood.
Immediately afterwards, Timothy gritted his back molars and whispered:
"Of course we know what happened in Washington yesterday. It was a group of brainless idiots!"
"You are right, Sean. If the situation continues to deteriorate like this, Philadelphia will inevitably be affected and fall into chaos."
"It is indeed a wise choice for you to leave with those antique works of art at this time. I personally support it."
Immediately afterwards, Peggy nodded in support.
From his point of view, he certainly hopes that Xiao Ran will leave Philadelphia immediately and go to Boston.
You know, the top antique artworks stolen from the Gardner Museum are still in Xiao Ran's hands!
The deal between them was not completed, but they were preparing to return to Boston for another deal.
As for Frank and Scott, they quickly exchanged glances and then nodded in unison.
Seeing that no one from the cooperation parties objected, Xiao Ran immediately smiled and nodded.
"Gentlemen, thank you for your understanding and support. I am also very happy to cooperate with you."
"Next, I will take people to the vault, pull out all the antique art, and then transport it to the airport."
"No problem, Sean, we will cooperate with your actions"
Timothy nodded and said.
Frank, who had another set of vault passwords, could only nod in agreement.
While he was talking, Sam's voice suddenly came from the intercom headset.
"Sean, there are several Chinese people outside. They say they are from the Philadelphia office of the Chinese Consulate General in New York. They asked me to inform them."
"In addition to them, there are several museum directors and two art dealers who also want to meet you to discuss transactions."
As the words fell, Xiao Ran had already walked aside.
Then, he turned on the walkie-talkie microphone and whispered:
"Copy that, Sam, let them wait for a while, I'll see them later."
