After cleaning the jewelry in the last velvet bag, Xiao Ran put them back and tied them with ribbons.

At this time, Elaine and Caroline also finished admiring the two dazzling gemstone necklaces and put them into the original black velvet bags.

Later, Xiao Ran took a portable safe, put these astonishingly valuable jewelry in it, and locked them all!

Then give the portable safe to David and let this guy carry it.

After doing this, he took the people out of the apartment and walked towards the apartment on the second floor where he found a hidden compartment and a sandwiched wall.

Just as everyone was going upstairs, Carlin and Henry suddenly came over and asked in a low voice with concern:

"Sean, except for the two gemstone necklaces that originally belonged to Maria Theresa and were just given to Elaine by you, what are you going to do with the rest of the jewelry?"

"If possible, we hope that the jewelry can stay in France. We can sit down and discuss the specific transaction conditions."

"Especially Louis XV's Golden Fleece Medal. It is a French national treasure. We hope to trade it."

Xiao Ran turned to look at these guys, pretended to think about it, and then said with a smile:

"I personally am not very interested in those dazzling jewelry. Those are women's favorite things."

"If nothing else happens, I will take out most of the jewelry for trading or public auction."

"But I don't have time to think about the specific jewelry items to trade and when to trade them!"

"When this exploratory operation is over and other things go well, we will discuss the transaction again."

Hearing this, Henry and Carlin were stunned for a moment.

Of course they understood what other things Xiao Ran said!

Without even thinking about it, he was referring to the Red House in Paris!

If he can successfully buy the red building, everything will be easy!

On the contrary, it is another matter!

In that case, it will be very difficult for the French government to obtain these national treasure-level antiques, artworks and jewelry that have been discovered one after another!

Thinking of this, Carlin and the others couldn't help but grit their teeth, but there was nothing they could do!

While talking, Xiao Ran and the others had entered the apartment on the second floor and found a hidden compartment and a sandwiched wall.

Seeing them coming in, Matthew immediately introduced the situation.

In the master bedroom of the apartment, they discovered a hidden wall with some metal objects hidden inside.

In the study room, there is also a small hidden compartment, which also contains some metal objects.

What exactly these metal objects are is currently unknown.

While Matthew was introducing the situation, Xiao Ran pretended to take a serious look at the apartment. The focus was naturally on discovering hidden compartments and places between walls.

Immediately afterwards, he checked the relevant detected data and detected it again.

No need to ask about the result!

The apartment did have a secret compartment and a wall with some metal objects hidden inside.

As for what those metal objects are, we can only know the real answer by finding a way to open the hidden compartment and the sandwiched wall.

However, Xiao Ran was not in a hurry to open the secret compartment and the wall.

He asked Matthew to take some preparations while he went to the third floor to check the situation in the apartment upstairs.

In the apartment upstairs, there are two secret compartments that no one knows about.

More importantly, there are also some metal objects hidden in those two secret rooms.

After confirming the situation in the apartment upstairs, Xiao Ran started to open up these hidden compartments and walls that had been silent for more than two hundred years!

Without much effort, he had opened all the hidden compartments and walls.

The things hidden in these secret compartments and sandwiched walls have finally been revealed to the light of day after more than two hundred years!

In the hidden compartments and walls of the apartment on the second floor, he found a lot of gold and silver coins, as well as some small gold bars. The amount was quite astonishing!

Among the gold and silver coins, there are French Louis Gold coins, Spanish Escudo gold coins, etc., as well as some gold and silver coins from the medieval period, which are very valuable for collection!

In the apartment on the third floor, in addition to hundreds of antique gold and silver coins, some gold and silverware from the French court were also found, such as gold wine glasses engraved with the fleur-de-lis emblem.

The most valuable ones are two small bronze sculptures in the Rococo style by the famous French sculptor Falconet in the 18th century!

This series of discoveries once again detonated the scene and countless live broadcasts, attracting waves of exclamations.

In the blink of an eye, the time has reached around four o'clock in the afternoon.

After six or seven hours of work, the exploration of the above-ground portion of the apartment building has been completed, excluding areas such as the apartment building's basement and parking lot.

In this apartment building, Xiao Ran and the others discovered a dozen very secret compartments and walls, as well as two very small secret rooms.

A small part of these secret compartments, sandwiched walls, and two small secret rooms were empty, and there was nothing inside.

In other places, there are some surprises, big or small.

In addition to the jewelry, gold coins, and bronze sculptures discovered previously, Xiao Ran and the others found some more treasures.

There are oil paintings, sculptures, various antiques and cultural relics, as well as gold and silver treasures.

At this time, Xiao Ran and the others were staying in an apartment, admiring and appraising the three oil paintings they had found in a small secret room!

The three exploration teams continue to work.

Explore three places: the basement, the back garden, and the garage.

At the same time, the online live broadcast continues.

In the apartment.

Henry and Lawrence were standing in front of the easels, appraising three oil paintings placed on three easels.

The artistic styles of these three oil paintings are different and each has its own characteristics.

They are a Baroque style portrait, a Classical style landscape painting, and a Renaissance style religious theme painting.

Looking at these three paintings, Henry and the others were so excited that their eyes shone.

The identification of these three paintings is actually not difficult. Rather than identifying them, they are appreciating them.

After a while, the identification was completed.

Immediately afterwards, Henry said excitedly:

"Sean, there is no question about the provenance of these three oil paintings. They all came from the French court and disappeared during the Revolution. They are recorded in some historical documents."

"This "Portrait of Louis XIV" is from the most famous Baroque portrait painter in France in the 18th century, Hyacinthe Rigoux"

"He was the royal painter of Louis XIV. He painted many portraits for Louis XIV, and this painting is just one of them."

"The classic landscape painting next to it is called "Côte d'Azur in the Summer Evening" and was painted by the famous French painter Claude Laurent in the 17th century."

"Claude Rolland is one of the founders of French landscape painting. It was from him that France had beautiful landscape paintings."

"As for the third painting, "The Arrival of the Three Magi", it was painted by the famous Renaissance art master Tintoretto, one of the Three Great Masters of Venice."

"The inheritance of these three paintings is clear. They all came from the Palace of Versailles and disappeared during the Revolution. They are all well-deserved top works of art."

Following Henry's introduction, waves of exclamations immediately sounded at the scene and in front of the live broadcast.

Xiao Ran smiled and nodded, and said proudly:

"You are right, Henry. These three oil paintings are indeed top-notch works of art. Each of them has a market value of more than 100 million US dollars!"

"I have no doubt about the provenance of these three oil paintings. It is really a huge surprise to find them here..."

While he was talking, Matthew's voice suddenly came from the intercom, and he was trembling slightly with excitement.

"Sean, we discovered an unknown underground palace more than twenty meters underground in the apartment building!"

"If nothing else happens, we should have found the legendary Napoleon's treasure. It's so cool!"

Before he finished speaking, another burst of excited cheers came from the intercom.

Xiao Ran and the others in the apartment, as well as countless viewers on the live broadcast, were all stunned!
