The transactions with the Harvard University Museum and the MIT Museum went very smoothly.
After completing the transaction, Xiao Ran immediately left MIT with many Chinese antiques and artworks exchanged.
He sent all the treasures into the bank vault before returning to the hotel where he was staying.
After returning to the presidential suite, Xiao Ran immediately turned on the TV and started watching today's news reports.
Unfortunately, the results of the US presidential election have been confirmed by Congress, and there were no surprises.
In other words, the King of Understanding has no chance to make a comeback, and is completely out of luck!
If he wants to ascend to the throne of the United States President again, he can only wait another four years before he has a chance to make a comeback.
Such a result is not what Xiao Ran wants to see!
He hopes that the United States will be in chaos. The more chaos, the better!
It's a pity that God doesn't fulfill his wish!
In order to ensure the smooth progress of the election results confirmation process, a high fence has been erected around the U.S. Capitol Building, and no unauthorized persons are allowed to approach or enter.
The Capitol Hill and the Capitol building were already surrounded by heavily armed military police, all of whom were watching eagerly.
Those who participated in the riots on Capitol Hill yesterday were naturally the focus of prevention. They were all driven far away by the military police and were not allowed to approach them at all.
In this case, the atmosphere in Washington seemed very tense, like a war zone.
Since last night, in fact.
Washington, D.C., has entered a state of total martial law, and the entire city is controlled by heavily armed military police.
Even several nearby cities, such as Baltimore and Philadelphia, have also entered a state of martial law, but not so exaggeratedly.
Because of the riots that occurred yesterday, many senior officials under Mr. Wang have announced their resignations one after another today, drawing a clear line with Mr. Wang.
Even the deputy who understood Wang jumped out to criticize a few words with insinuations.
Obviously, these guys have chosen to protect themselves wisely.
The king of understanding is still on the throne of the president, but he gives people the sad feeling of a tree falling and a hozen scattered!
Looking at the scenes on TV and the fresh news, Xiao Ran shook his head with a little disappointment.
"Is this the end? I thought there were more exciting shows to watch, but it's boring!"
After saying that, he turned and walked to the bathroom to wash and disinfect.
Elaine and Fang Yufei, who were staying in the living room, laughed angrily.
In the blink of an eye, it was already around four o'clock in the afternoon.
After handling the matters at hand, Xiao Ran was sitting in the living room, chatting with Elaine and the others.
At this moment, Counselor Wang and Director Zhao came together to discuss the matter of escorting antique artworks back to China tomorrow.
Xiao Ran took them into the study and sat down to chat.
After sitting down, Counselor Wang immediately got to the point.
"Xiao Ran, we have already coordinated the Air China charter flight you want, and it is parked at Boston General Logan International Airport. You can use it at any time."
"The people returning to China on the charter flight this time are Lao Zhao and Xiao Hu from the Boston office. It's time for Lao Zhao to return to China to report on his work, so he just took this opportunity to go back."
"Lao Zhao is expected to stay in China for more than a month when he returns to China to report on his work. He will also spend the Spring Festival and reunite with his family before returning to Boston after the New Year."
When he said these words, Counselor Wang always stared at Xiao Ran to see what reaction he would give.
Director Zhao nodded and stared at Xiao Ran with excitement.
They have reviewed some of the top-secret intelligence and research materials they received last night.
As specially trained personnel stationed abroad, they know very well how valuable those intelligence materials are.
To maintain confidentiality, they did not even notify the embassy in the United States and the consulate general in New York.
As for the relevant domestic departments, they did not dare to notify them rashly for fear of leaking the secret!
However, Counselor Wang took the initiative to contact the Consulate General in New York and applied to the Consul General to have Director Zhao return to China immediately to report on his work.
Helping Xiao Ran escort a large number of top-notch antiques and artworks back to China was just an excuse.
Having had several previous experiences, the Consul General in New York understood instantly.
Director Zhao must be shouldering a very important task when he returns to China to report on his work this time.
Only for confidentiality reasons, Counselor Wang did not explain the true situation on the phone.
Understanding this, there is no reason why the Consul General in New York would disagree!
Moreover, he also guessed that Director Zhao's return to China and the important tasks he shouldered were most likely related to Xiao Ran.
Counselor Wang and Director Zhao, who are in Boston, are 100% sure.
The anonymous message yesterday was sent by Xiao Ran, and he also sent those priceless top-secret intelligence and research materials that could shock the world!
By extension.
The series of bombings and assassinations that occurred in Boston some time ago, which shocked the world, angered the US government and military, and disgraced everyone, were all caused by Xiao Ran.
It was during that series of explosions and assassinations that Xiao Ran uncovered the ugly face of the U.S. government and military in one fell swoop, and obtained so much priceless top-secret intelligence and research information.
It's just that he is very tolerant and has been quietly enduring it for more than a month.
Until the riots in Washington, this God-given opportunity presented itself.
He just rushed back to Boston, took out the top-secret intelligence and research materials, and prepared to send them back to the country.
Thinking of this, Counselor Wang and Director Zhao were both shocked and filled with admiration.
At this time, they had even begun to doubt Xiao Ran's true identity!
Is this guy really an international student? Do not make jokes!
There are no international students like him who can do anything in heaven or on earth!
Counselor Wang and Director Zhao's curious and inquiring eyes were all noticed by Xiao Ran.
But he chose to play dumb, as if he didn't understand Counselor Wang's subtext.
After chuckling secretly, he continued with a smile:
"That couldn't be better. With Uncle Zhao and the others following these top-notch antiques and artworks back to China, I feel completely relieved!"
"Now that the Air China charter flight has been coordinated, I will ask my subordinates to contact the air traffic control department and apply for a flight permit. It will be done soon."
"Early tomorrow morning, I will prepare to transport this batch of antique artworks back to China, and then we will leave Boston and return to Los Angeles."
"The current situation in the United States is changing three times a day. In order to avoid long nights and nightmares, we must act as soon as possible, so as to stop some people's delusions."
Upon hearing his response, Counselor Wang and Director Zhao couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
Then, a smile flashed across their faces and they nodded again.
"That's true, Xiao Ran. After this riot on Capitol Hill, no one can guess what will happen next in the United States. There may be even greater chaos."
"In a few days, the Donkey Party will come to power, and they may cause trouble for you. That crazy woman Speaker of the House of Representatives has been refusing to deal with you, so you must be careful."
Next, Xiao Ran, Counselor Wang and the others continued to discuss tomorrow's actions.
In a short time, they finalized all the details of tomorrow's operation.
Even the flight route of tomorrow's Air China charter flight has been determined.
The batch of antique artworks previously shipped back to China from Philadelphia flew on the African route.
Moreover, he changed his course several times during the journey and avoided some African countries that had close relations with the original European suzerainty. Only then did he successfully fly back to China.
Considering this, and the fact that Boston is further north, Xiao Ran chose the Arctic route this time.
In other words, the Air China charter flight taking off tomorrow will first enter the skies over the Atlantic Ocean.
Then it flew north along the Atlantic Ocean, entered the skies over the North Pole, passed through Russian airspace, and then entered China.
In this way, most European countries are avoided.
At this time, many European countries were gritting their teeth and trying to cause trouble for Xiao Ran!
If this Air China cargo plane passes through their country's airspace, it may be forced to land, which will be a big trouble!
If we fly the Arctic route, many European countries can only watch helplessly, but there is nothing they can do!
Counselor Wang and others expressed their support for Xiao Ran's decision.
And they will immediately notify the embassy in Russia and be ready to respond.
After talking about this matter, Counselor Wang suddenly changed his tone.
"Xiao Ran, yesterday I received some domestic news. According to the relevant intelligence information you provided, the State Administration of Cultural Heritage and the Ministry of Public Security jointly handled the case and launched a special operation to crack down on the smuggling of antique cultural relics."
"After some investigation, the task force eliminated several domestic tomb robbing and smuggling and selling groups of cultural relics in one fell swoop, and confiscated and recovered a large number of important antiques, cultural relics and works of art."
"The domestic operations are going very smoothly, but the situation abroad is not optimistic. No matter in Hong Kong, Southeast Asia, Japan, or Europe, the task force's operations have been hindered to a certain extent."
"There are many reasons for this. First, due to the current special situation, domestic flights to many countries and regions are suspended. Even if you rush to the local area, you have to be quarantined for a period of time, which delays a lot of things."
"Then there is the issue of cooperation between the local police and cultural relics authorities. Since it is a state power agency handling the case, it must follow normal procedures. This way the news will be leaked too easily, and the relevant actions will have little effect..."
Next, Counselor Wang briefly introduced the situation of the project to combat cultural relic smuggling and recover lost cultural relics.
As he said, the task force's actions encountered a lot of obstruction abroad and did not go smoothly.
The number of stolen and smuggled antiques and art recovered from abroad through special operations is also pitiful.
After listening to Counselor Wang's introduction, Xiao Ran couldn't help but fell into silence.
After thinking for a moment, he nodded and said:
"Uncle Wang, those antiques, cultural relics and works of art that were stolen and smuggled abroad must be recovered. I still hope that those treasures will enrich my private museum!"
"I have nothing planned for the next period of time. I want to take some time off and return to China to celebrate the New Year and reunite with my family."
"If necessary, I can take people to Japan and Southeast Asia to help the task force investigate, and even hunt down stolen and smuggled antiques."
"There are some things that are inconvenient for the comrades of the task force to do abroad, but for us, we don't have so many worries..."
Upon hearing this, Counselor Wang and Director Zhao's eyes suddenly lit up.
Of course they understood what Xiao Ran meant when he said he didn't have so many worries!
