The next day, morning.
Just after nine o'clock, Xiao Ran took Elaine and the others out of the presidential suite and prepared to go shopping.
They have two purposes today, to sweep the Paris antique market, attract everyone's attention, and provide cover for their employees!
In fact, as long as the first goal is successfully achieved, the second goal will also be a matter of course!
In the blink of an eye, Xiao Ran and the others came out of the hotel door and were about to leave in the car.
Seeing them coming out, the media reporters guarding the door immediately began to ask questions loudly.
"Good morning, Sean, I'm a reporter from France TV"
"As far as we know, your exploration team is still exploring in Fontainebleau Forest and Montmartre Heights."
"Did you find anything yesterday? Now there are rumors that you are looking for Napoleon's treasure. Is this true?"
Xiao Ran, who is responsible for attracting attention, will naturally not miss the opportunity to interact with media reporters.
He looked at the reporter, then responded with a smile:
"Good morning, this journalist friend, yes, my two exploration teams are indeed still exploring the Fontainebleau Forest and Montmartre."
"As for whether they have discovered anything and what they are exploring, these all involve commercial secrets. I have no comment!"
After the words fell, another beautiful reporter immediately asked:
"Good morning, Mr. Sean, I am a reporter from Le Parisien"
"Excuse me, what are your plans today? Where are you going? Can you tell me?"
Xiao Ran looked at the reporter and immediately gave the answer.
"Of course, beauty, I'm going to go to the Saint-Ouan Antique Market to see if I can find anything good."
“The Saint-Ouan Antique Market is the largest and most comprehensive antique market in the world. Since I’m in Paris, of course I can’t miss it.”
"Okay, fellow journalists, that's all for answering the questions. I wish you all have a good day."
After saying that, he waved goodbye to the media reporters, and then took Elaine and the others into the car.
Soon, the bulletproof motorcade started with a bang, drove away from the hotel and headed towards the antique cultural relics of Saint-Ouan.
Seeing his motorcade leaving, many media reporters immediately ran to their vehicles and followed him in their cars.
Those who stayed at the door of the hotel started talking worriedly.
"This lucky bastard, Sean, is going to the Saint-Ouan Antique Market. This is not good news! It seems that the rumor is absolutely correct. This guy is here to raid the Paris antique art market."
"Who says it's not the case! Look, the Saint-Ouan antique market is likely to face a huge misfortune today and will be bloodbathed by this greedy bastard!"
While there was a lot of discussion, some guys in the crowd took out their mobile phones and started to report the news to the outside world.
Not long after Xiao Ran left the hotel, the news that he was going to Saint-Ouan Antique Market had quickly spread to many people's ears.
The antique dealers, big and small shopkeepers and stall owners doing business in the Saint-Ouan Antique Market also quickly received the news.
The first time they received the news, these guys frowned, a little worried, and all became nervous.
Some of these cautious guys have even begun to re-examine the items in their stores or stalls to see if there are any treasures that have been missed.
In the blink of an eye, the atmosphere in the Saint-Ouan Antique Market became a little tense, and it felt like a storm was coming.
At this time, Xiao Ran was sitting in the car, admiring the scenery on the street outside and listening to Elaine's introduction to the Saint-Ouan market.
“The Saint-Ouin Market originated in the late nineteenth century as a flea market spontaneously formed by poor people living in suburban communities in northern Paris.”
"Soon, this free trading method was adopted by the upper class in Paris to sell valuable items such as antiques, art and treasures."
"Later it gradually developed into the largest, most famous and most complete antique art trading market in the world, and it was also a tourist attraction."
"The Saint-Ouan Antique Art Market has more than 2,500 stalls, more than 500 large-scale shops, 12 sub-markets, covering an area of more than 30,000 square meters."
“For many Parisians, it has become a way of life to visit the Saint-Ouin antique market on weekends and buy some things they like.”
"For professionals in the antique shop, the Saint-Ouin Antique Market is a treasure hunting destination. Many people must visit it every week."
"Some antique shops and galleries in the Saint-Ouan market are extremely professional. They often post notices at the door not to accept non-professionals."
After introducing the overall situation of the Saint-Ouan market, Elaine introduced the situation of several major sub-markets.
After a brief introduction, she suddenly changed the subject.
"My dear, which branch should we go to first? The Santouan antique market is too big, with too many stalls and shops. We must visit in a planned way."
Xiao Ran nodded, thought for a moment, and then gave the answer.
"Let's go to Byron Market first. There are 220 stalls in Byron Market, selling art from all over the world and from various historical periods."
“If you want to discover art of higher value, Byron Market is undoubtedly your first choice, and then go to other sub-markets.”
"Okay, then go to Byron Market, I hope you will find a series of surprises"
Elaine nodded in response.
Next, they continued chatting.
While he was talking, there was a sudden burst of gunfire from the front of the convoy.
The moment they heard the gunfire, everyone suddenly became nervous.
Xiao Ran quickly reached back and took the backpack placed behind the back seat, ready to take out his gun and fight back at any time.
In this black backpack, there is a HK433 short assault rifle, a pistol, a large number of full magazines, Kevlar body armor, etc.
Under Xiao Ran's coat, there were two HK45 pistols hidden. He was also wearing a thin Kevlar body armor in case of accidents!
While taking the backpack, he also activated his clairvoyance ability and looked towards the front of the convoy.
At this moment, Anthony's voice suddenly came from the earphones.
"Sean, someone was robbing a jewelry store on the street in front. They encountered the Paris military police on patrol. The two sides started fighting."
"In other words, this shooting has nothing to do with us. You don't have to worry. Bulletproof SUVs are enough to ensure everyone's safety."
While Anthony was reporting the situation, Xiao Ran also saw the situation not far in front of the motorcade.
Just as Anthony said, four or five armed robbers with their heads covered had just come out of a top brand jewelry store in front.
As a result, they encountered several armed patrol policemen, and the two sides immediately started a firefight, which was extremely lively.
The street in front of the motorcade was in chaos. Everyone was running around holding their heads and screaming in horror.
Seeing this scene through perspective, Xiao Ran immediately said through the miniature microphone on his chest:
"Anthony, please guys be more vigilant. Although this firefight has nothing to do with us, no one can tell whether it will affect us."
"Judging from the situation you introduced, these guys armedly robbed a top jewelry store in broad daylight, which is a bit like the Pink Panther method."
As he spoke, he quickly opened his backpack.
He casually took out two Kevlar body armors from inside, handed them to Elaine and Fang Yufei, and motioned for them to put them on.
Elaine and the others were used to such scenes, so they didn't panic and quickly put on their body armor.
At this moment, the situation ahead changed again.
