Nearly four hours later.
Xiao Ran's private plane and the Air China cargo plane flew to Beijing smoothly and landed steadily at the Capital International Airport.
As the plane landed, Xiao Ran saw it through the porthole window.
The Air China charter flight on which the task force was traveling was parked on a runway not far away and was unloading cargo.
Under that plane, there were several familiar figures.
In addition, the reception staff and escort convoy led by my sister-in-law have also arrived here.
When the plane stopped, my sister-in-law and Elaine all got out of the car and waved excitedly.
Elaine and the others' quarantine period has passed and they can go out and move around freely.
Xiao Ran, who had just returned to Beijing, had to quarantine at home for fourteen days.
Thinking of this, he felt a little depressed.
In addition to Elaine and my sister-in-law, there were a few unfamiliar faces on the edge of the runway. They were two middle-aged couples.
As for their identities, you can tell by looking at Xu Lin's reaction.
"Why did my parents come to Beijing? They actually came to the Capital Airport to pick them up. Brother Xiao Ran, did you arrange this?"
"My parents are here too, and my brother is here too. It's so unexpected and great!"
The two beauties immediately burst into cheers, their eyes instantly moistened.
The moment they saw their relatives standing on the edge of the runway waving, they felt extremely happy.
Xiao Ran looked at the situation outside, and then joked:
"Yes, it was indeed arranged by me. How about it? Are you surprised or surprised?"
"It was Brother Xu Lin who came up with this idea. I also thought it was interesting, so I arranged it."
Before she finished speaking, the two beauties started crying with joy.
"That's great, Brother Xiao Ran, thank you!"
Xiao Ran smiled softly and then reminded him.
"We are about to get off the plane. Check your protective clothing. Don't be in a hurry to contact your family."
"Just say hello. When the fourteen-day quarantine period is over, you can reunite with your family and go home to celebrate the New Year!"
"Oh, I see!"
The two beauties nodded vigorously
Then I wiped my tears, quickly checked the protective clothing, and put on goggles and N95 masks.
At this time, the cabin door of the private jet was opened.
Xiao Ran immediately stood up and walked towards the cabin door first.
Xu Lin and Wang Jue followed immediately, both of them couldn't wait.
The next moment, Xiao Ran appeared at the door of the cabin and waved to Elaine and my sister-in-law.
After saying hello, he walked down the gangway.
Immediately afterwards, Xu Lin and Wang Jue appeared at the door of the cabin.
The moment they really saw their parents, the two girls couldn't hold it back any longer and burst into tears.
The same goes for their parents, who kept wiping away tears but smiling like flowers.
In a moment, Xiao Ran had arrived in front of Yi Lian and her sister-in-law, and stopped four or five meters away.
Just as he was about to say hello to Yi Lian and the others, Xu Lin's brother got there first.
This guy walked straight over and greeted Xiao Ran gratefully.
"Xiao Ran, I am Xu Jun. Thank you for saving Xu Lin and the others. I will remember this life-saving grace."
Xiao Ran looked at this guy, smiled and shook his head.
"It was just a coincidence. Since I encountered it, there is no reason not to save me."
"Besides, Xu Lin is your sister, so I can't just sit back and watch. There's no need to thank you."
“Later on, they served as my Japanese translators and performed very well.”
While talking, Xu Lin and Wang Jue had already walked down the gangway and arrived here.
Their parents also came over and thanked them again.
Especially the two mothers, when they thought about the danger their daughters encountered in Japan, they cried like rain.
For Xiao Ran, they were all grateful and extremely appreciative.
There was even a trace of regret in their eyes.
Probably because he felt sorry for missing such a golden husband who was hard to find even with a lantern, after all, Xiao Ran already had a girlfriend!
After some polite remarks, Xiao Ran formally introduced Xu Lin and Wang Jue to Yi Lian and the others.
They are already very familiar with each other and video chat almost every day.
If it weren't for the special circumstances now, we would have hugged each other and cheered.
While everyone was chatting, the Air China cargo plane parked on the runway nearby had opened its door.
But Matthew and the others did not get off the plane, they still stayed in the plane.
Many employees from the Beijing branch, as well as several cultural and museum personnel from the National Museum of China, formed a receiving team.
Wearing full protective clothing, they walked straight into the cabin of the cargo plane and started receiving it.
At the same time, the escort convoy had arrived there and parked next to the cargo plane.
Everyone is familiar with the reception work and has done it many times.
Xiao Ran checked the situation over there through perspective, but he didn't go there.
Instead, he continued to stay here and chat with his family and friends.
After chatting for a while, a deputy director of the State Administration of Cultural Heritage and Shan Lao and the others drove over from the chartered flight of the task force.
After meeting and greeting each other, Mr. Shan immediately said to Xiao Ran:
"Xiao Ran, there is something very important that we need to discuss with you. Let's take a step to talk."
As he said that, the old man pointed to the open space more than ten meters away.
Although he was a little surprised, Xiao Ran nodded.
"Of course it's no problem, old man, I don't know what it is? It's so mysterious that you have to go out and talk so far away."
With that said, he followed Mr. Shan and the deputy director of the Cultural Relics Bureau and walked to the side.
Arriving at the open space next to him, Mr. Shan immediately got to the point and asked expectantly:
"It is said that you discovered the legendary treasure map of the Yamashita Treasure in Osaka, Japan this time. Is this true?"
"After you found the treasure map of the treasure under the mountain, you burned it directly to avoid being snatched away by the Japanese. Is this true?"
Xiao Ran looked at the old man, smiled and nodded.
"Countless people now know about this matter, and there are related videos on the Internet. Of course it is true!"
"Although the treasure map of the treasure under the mountain is gone, it is deeply ingrained in my mind and no one can take it away."
"Okay! This is a great job!"
Mr. Shan and the deputy director of the Cultural Relics Bureau shouted in unison, both of them were very excited!
Seeing their performance, Xiao Ran couldn't help but be confused and didn't know why.
He discovered the treasure map of the legendary treasure under the mountain. Why were they more excited than him?
The next moment, Shan Lao gave the answer.
"Xiao Ran, it's great and important that you can clearly remember the location of the treasure at the foot of the mountain!"
"According to our investigation, during the Anti-Japanese War, the Pekingese skull, the most precious treasure of our Chinese nation, unfortunately fell into the hands of the Japanese army."
"After many twists and turns, the skull of the Peking man fell into the hands of the Japanese commander in Southeast Asia, Yamashita Tomofumi, and it has never been seen again."
"At the end of World War II, Yamashita Tomofumi tried to transport countless looted gold and silver treasures and antique cultural relics back to Japan, but ultimately failed."
"So he buried all the plundered gold, silver, treasures and antiques in Southeast Asia, probably all over the Philippines. This is the treasure under the mountain."
"Various evidence shows that our country's priceless treasure, the skull of Peking Man, is likely to be in the treasure at the foot of the mountain, buried somewhere in the Philippines."
"Now that the treasure map of the treasure under the mountain has fallen into your hands, we may be able to recover this priceless treasure. It is the remains of our ancestors and the most important evidence of the long and glorious Chinese civilization."
Hearing this, Xiao Ran exclaimed excitedly.
"I'll go! The Pekingese skull is a legendary national treasure!"
"If the skull of the Peking Man is really in the treasure at the foot of the mountain, then it goes without saying that I will definitely find this national treasure."
"I have to say, this is really a huge surprise. Compared with the Pekingese skull, the other items in the treasure at the foot of the mountain are nothing to mention!"
Before he finished speaking, the deputy director of the Cultural Relics Bureau nodded excitedly and echoed:
"Who says otherwise? The discovery of the Peking Man skull is enough to prove that our ancestors lived on this land 600,000 years ago, entered the Paleolithic Age, and already possessed high wisdom."
"The ancestors of Africa, Europe, America, and all other places and countries in the world at the same time were still monkeys in the trees. They were still in the earliest stages of human evolution and could not stand shoulder to shoulder with the Chinese nation."
"Hahaha"
Xiao Ran and Shan Lao both laughed and nodded in agreement.
Immediately afterwards, Mr. Shan joked and whispered:
"Lao Zhou, what you said is a bit populist, please don't say it in public."
Zhou Ju shook his head indifferently.
"There are no outsiders here, so it doesn't matter if you say it, it's true!"
"Of course, I will pay attention in public!"
At this point, he suddenly changed the subject.
"Xiao Ran, as long as you can recover the skull of the Peking Man, it will be a great contribution to our country and nation."
"After recovering the Peking Man skull, you can keep this priceless treasure in your private museum, but it must not be taken abroad."
Xiao Ran nodded, and then whispered:
"I understand this, and I also know how important the Pekingese skull is. Once it is found, it will never be possible to let this priceless treasure go abroad."
"However, it is not easy for us to recover the skull of the Peking Man, even if I have the treasure map of the treasure under the mountain."
"First of all, I want to explore the treasures under the mountains in the Philippines. I must obtain official permission from the Philippines before I can start the exploration. This is a very troublesome thing."
"In the Philippines, everyone knows the legend of the treasure under the mountain. Many Filipinos have been searching for this amazing treasure their whole lives. Once I arrive in the Philippines, I will definitely become the center of attention and it will be difficult to take action."
"Also, some Philippine political families, headed by the Marcos family, regard the treasures under the mountain as forbidden treasures and cannot be touched by foreigners at all. It is difficult for me to obtain permission."
"Through pressure from some big figures in the U.S. government and pressure from the U.S. military stationed in the Philippines, I may be able to get an exploration permit, but it will take a long time to operate..."
Next, they continued to discuss the matter.
For a while, no one had any good ideas.
If he really couldn't get permission from the Philippine government, Xiao Ran wouldn't mind sneaking into the Philippines secretly and sneaking away the treasures under the mountain.
In that case, there will definitely be a lot of trouble, and even others will be given a thumbs up.
But as long as the Peking Man skull can be recovered, it will all be worth it!
