As a large number of police officers arrived, the masked thugs saw that they had no chance and immediately dispersed and ran away!
The police detached some manpower to pursue and arrest, but a large team stayed around the apartment building to maintain order on the scene.
The French government and police leaders knew very well that the historical documents and antique artworks found in this apartment building must not be lost.
Because of this, they immediately sent a large number of police to support.
After ensuring safety, Xiao Ran and the others did not evacuate.
Instead, he continued to explore in this apartment building and continued to broadcast the exploration live on the entire network.
The two medium-sized helicopters that came to respond, under the coordination of the police, flew to the Luxembourg Gardens, and could take off again at any time to come here.
The exploration continues, and surprises appear one after another.
In other rooms in the apartment building, Xiao Ran and his employees discovered some hidden compartments and sandwiched walls.
Most of these hidden compartments and side walls are empty, with nothing inside.
The only few hidden compartments and walls where things were hidden were found to be historical documents.
These historical documents and materials all come from the French Revolution period and have very high historical and cultural research value!
The people who hid these historical documents were members of the Committee of Public Safety who once lived here, and each of them has a name in French history!
The most famous figure among them is Marat, who is known as the 'Friend of the People'.
The "Programme of the Society of Friends of Human Rights" hidden by him is another well-deserved French national treasure.
The discovery of this historical document once again caused a sensation.
In addition, Xiao Ran discovered a very secret little secret room in a utility room in the basement.
It's a pity that when they spent a long time to open this small secret room, it was empty, there was nothing inside!
In the blink of an eye, it was already around three o'clock in the afternoon.
After lunch and a short rest in the apartment building, everyone was ready to continue exploring.
At this moment, the US Ambassador to France and the Cultural Counselor hurried here.
The reason why they were so late was because they were not in Paris before, but went to Brussels, Belgium.
After learning about Xiao Ran's series of shocking discoveries, the two guys immediately left Brussels and flew back to Paris by helicopter.
After the meeting and greeting, the US ambassador motioned to Xiao Ran to turn off the live broadcast microphone and remove the high-definition camera.
After Xiao Ran finished these actions, the guy immediately whispered:
"Sean, I just received a call from Mr. President on my way to Paris."
"Mr. President said on the phone that if these important historical documents and antique artworks you discovered in Paris are to be traded, it would be best to trade them with cultural institutions or top collectors in the United States."
"Many cultural and museum institutions, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art and Harvard University, have made requests to the U.S. Department of Culture, hoping that the government will come forward to facilitate relevant transactions. They are all willing to participate in the transaction."
Before he finished speaking, several French people standing aside became anxious.
The French Deputy Minister of Culture, who arrived here at noon, widened his eyes and said:
"This is absolutely impossible. These historical documents, including the Jacobin Constitution and Robespierre's personal notes, must not leave France."
"We recognize Mr. Sean's ownership of these historical documents, but these historical documents must remain in France and no one can take them away."
"What these historical documents record is the history of France and a national treasure of France. The US government has no reason to take them away. We protest!"
The other French people were the same, looking indignant and glaring at the American ambassador and cultural attaché.
The American ambassador was not to be outdone and had no intention of giving in.
Seeing that the smell of gunpowder between the two parties was getting stronger and stronger, Xiao Ran quickly jumped out to be the peacemaker.
He looked at the American Ambassador, the French Deputy Minister of Culture and others, then raised his hands and pressed them down gently.
"Gentlemen, please be patient. The exploration operation is not over yet. It is too early to discuss transactions now."
"In the next exploration operations, we may also make surprising and important discoveries."
"When all exploration operations are completed, let's talk about the transaction. I believe that both of you will gain something by then."
"There is still time, Mr. Ambassador, Mr. Minister, you can sit down and talk, and we should be able to reach an agreement."
Following his words, the attention of everyone present was attracted.
The next moment, Carlin said in disbelief:
"Sean, what do you mean by this, do you have other unknown treasures in your possession?"
"Is it really the legendary Napoleon's treasure, or some other treasure? Can you tell me about the situation?"
Xiao Ran smiled and shook his head, giving it up.
"When we launch relevant exploratory operations, everyone will naturally understand what I mean, and maybe there will be surprises."
"What we have to do now is explore the back garden and parking lot of this apartment building to see if we can find anything."
"Okay, gentlemen, that's all I have to say. We are going to take action. You can wait for the results here."
After saying that, he took Elaine and David away and walked towards the garden behind the apartment building.
The American Ambassador, the French Deputy Minister of Culture and others quickly looked at each other, and everyone was shocked.
Immediately afterwards, these guys followed immediately, all with great interest.
Soon, the exploration operation began again.
Xiao Ran asked his employees to take the exploration equipment and thoroughly explore the back garden and garage to see if they could find anything.
He himself walked around the back garden and garage, pretending to be serious about investigating.
After a while, the second exploration team led by Matthew made a discovery.
"Sean, come here and take a look. We used ground-penetrating radar to detect a secret underground space. It looks like a tunnel."
"One end of this corridor leads to the basement of the apartment building, and the other section seems to lead to the small street behind. The specific length is unclear."
"In addition, there are many metal objects in this underground tunnel, scattered in different places in the tunnel, and there are quite a lot of them."
Following Matthew's words, the entire back garden immediately exploded, as did countless live broadcasts.
People's eyes were filled with disbelief and they all exclaimed.
"Wow! This back garden actually has some unknown secrets. Could it be an even more amazing underground treasure?"
"It's really possible. Xiao Ran's luck is so incredible. It's possible for him to find any treasure."
Just when everyone was exclaiming, Xiao Ran stepped forward and began to check the relevant data detected by Matthew and the others.
In a moment, he had made a basic judgment.
"Yes, there is indeed a secret underground passage nearly six meters deep under the garden."
"The interior of the secret passage is about two meters high and one and a half meters wide. It is an arched corridor with some rooms inside."
"The entrance to this corridor is in the basement of the apartment building. It was not detected just now. It must have been filled in artificially."
"The other end of this underground tunnel leads to the street outside. Where it leads specifically is currently unknown."
"What are the metal objects hidden in those rooms? We don't know. If we want to unlock these secrets, we can only dig this tunnel."
Listening to his analysis, everyone was excited and full of expectations.
In particular, many members of the exploration team can't wait to start digging immediately.
At this moment, Carlin suddenly said:
"Sean, you just said that this underground passage leads to the street behind. I don't know exactly where it leads."
"The apartment building and the back garden belong to you, but the street outside belongs to the Paris city hall. How do you plan to solve this problem?"
After the words fell, everyone immediately turned to look at Karin.
Xiao Ran smiled softly and gave the answer in the blink of an eye.
"It's actually very simple. Anything found on my property naturally belongs to me."
"According to industry practice, as the discoverers, we should own half of the things discovered on your territory!"
