It was already around 8:30 pm, and it was completely dark.
After dinner and returning to the suite, Xiao Ran immediately said to Elaine and the others:
"Dear, Yufei, I have something to do and I have to pretend to go out. You just stay in the suite."
"I don't have my usual mobile phone with me anymore. If someone calls me, just tell them I'm busy and I'll call them back later."
Hearing this, Elaine and the others paused.
Then, they all nodded again.
"I know, please be more careful. Paris is very chaotic at night."
They were already used to this kind of situation, so they didn't ask any more questions.
In their opinion, the reason why Xiao Ran went out to do errands at night was because he probably discovered something and wanted to investigate on the spot.
However, they never expected it.
Xiao Ran's discovery actually came from "Liberty Leading the People" displayed in the Louvre.
After greeting Elaine and the others, Xiao Ran notified Anthony again and asked them to get ready.
Then he walked into the bedroom and disguised himself.
Ten minutes later.
Xiao Ran, who dressed up as a white man, left the presidential suite and took the special elevator straight to the underground parking lot.
Like previous times, the hotel's internal monitoring system was once again taken over by his technicians.
The security personnel in the hotel, as well as several Paris art police and special police officers, did not notice his actions at all.
After a while, Xiao Ran drove out of the hotel's underground parking lot, and then drove straight to the Bastille on the other side of the Seine River.
In the blink of an eye, he had disappeared into the night without a trace.
About twenty minutes later.
A half-new Citroen sedan slowly drove into a street in the 11th arrondissement of Paris.
This street is located on the east side of the Bastille and has a long history. There are many historical buildings of different styles built in the 17th and 18th centuries on both sides of the street.
Public security in Paris is extremely poor during the day, and it becomes even more chaotic after dark.
Only in the bustling commercial streets and red light districts are there many people who come out to spend the night, which is relatively lively.
Then there are limited places such as the 6th and 7th arrondissements on the Left Bank, and the 8th arrondissement where the Champs Elysées and the Elysée Palace are located. They are still somewhat popular and have relatively good security.
The streets in the rest of the districts were all deserted, and not even a ghost could be seen.
Nine out of ten people who appear on the streets at this time are gangsters, street gangsters, and thieves.
The security in the 11th arrondissement is very poor due to the notoriously chaotic places such as Belle Ville and Gare de Lyon.
The street Xiao Ran drove into was naturally no exception.
As soon as he drove his Citroen into this street, he saw several gangsters wandering on the street.
Those guys saw the car immediately and were ready to make a move.
As a result, when Xiao Ran drove past a street light, he saw that it was just a dilapidated Citroën.
Those guys suddenly lost interest and retreated into the darkness of the street.
In the eyes of gangsters, this old Citroen has no value and is not worth stealing.
The person who drives such a broken car must be a poor man, and there is no value in robbing it.
Seeing the reactions of these gangsters, Xiao Ran couldn't help but chuckle.
It seems that choosing such a broken car for transportation is a very wise choice, which greatly reduces the risk of exposing traces.
If you drive a Mercedes-Benz bulletproof SUV to this street, you will be targeted in minutes, and even attract waves of robbers.
In that case, a firefight is likely to occur, and it will be difficult not to be exposed.
While talking, Xiao Ran drove to a historical building.
This is a Baroque-style building built in the late eighteenth century, very close to the famous Bastille, standing in the dark.
When driving past this building, Xiao Ran suddenly reduced his speed but did not stop.
While the vehicle was driving slowly, he turned to look at the historical building and began to investigate.
Under perspective, Xiao Ran could instantly see through almost every corner of this historic building.
He didn't even let go of the situation deep underground, plowing through it all.
With the help of his clairvoyance ability that made rapid progress again at the Louvre today, he saw more things than before, and the depth of his clairvoyance became deeper.
A day ago, he could only see more than five meters deep underground, and there was nothing he could do deeper than that.
After a day trip to the Louvre, the depth he saw now has reached about seven meters, which has increased by nearly one and a half meters at a time. The progress is amazing.
Under the perspective, he soon discovered something.
In this historical building, he saw a dozen very hidden compartments and walls, as well as two small secret rooms.
Some of the secret compartments, sandwiched walls, and small secret rooms hide something, while others are empty.
Several of the secret compartments and a small secret room have not been opened for a hundred or two hundred years, and there are some big or small surprises hidden inside.
However, these surprises are not the real purpose of Xiao Ran coming here tonight.
After looking through the main body of the building, he immediately shifted his gaze and looked deep underground in this historical building.
The next moment, a look of surprise suddenly flashed in his eyes.
In the garden of this historic building, about five meters underground, he saw a filled underground tunnel.
The underground tunnel was built in the late 18th century, but was filled in in the early 19th century.
The discovery of this underground tunnel made Xiao Ran very excited.
Just as he was about to explore further, he suddenly caught a glimpse of something from the corner of his eye.
Several gangsters were outflanking us from behind, each one on tiptoe, obviously with bad intentions.
Seeing this scene in the rearview mirror, Xiao Ran could only shake his head helplessly.
"Fuck! This is not a romantic city, it's clearly a crime city!"
After secretly complaining, he quickly withdrew his gaze and ended the perspective.
Then he stepped on the accelerator and suddenly accelerated away from here.
In order to avoid exposing his whereabouts, he could only leave here immediately, otherwise he would have a conflict with the gangsters.
For him, if he could see through the underground tunnel tonight, it would be a worthwhile trip.
In the blink of an eye, he had driven away quickly in the Citroën.
Looking at the gangsters who surrounded him, they all stopped in their tracks.
Then he cursed a few words in frustration and continued to squat on the street to guard the next target.
Half an hour later, Xiao Ran returned to the hotel successfully.
Seeing him coming back, Elaine immediately asked curiously:
"My dear, where did you explore tonight and did you discover anything?"
Xiao Ran smiled and nodded, and then said:
"I overlooked a goal before, but I remembered it when I visited the Louvre today. I just went there to check the situation."
"We will add two more historical buildings to the list of real estate we want to acquire. Maybe there will be surprising discoveries."
"These two properties have nothing to do with the Lu Qinzhai family. I am going to hand them over to the first acquisition team for follow-up and start the acquisition tomorrow."
Next, he briefly introduced the situation of the two historical buildings, but did not say what secrets or treasures might be hidden in these two buildings.
After chatting for a while, Elaine talked about another thing.
"Dear, the big boss of Christie's, Pino, just called and is interested in buying half of the secrets you discovered in the Renault Hotel, offering 30 million euros."
Hearing the quotation, Xiao Ran shook his head.
"Pino is so stingy. He can't even think about 30 million euros!"
