The exchange of fire on the Place de la Bastille soon ended. The idiots who tried to break into the apartment building were dispersed by Paris police force and a pursuit began.
At about eleven o'clock in the evening, the art thieves hiding near the Tuileries Palace tried to use the cover of night to approach the Musée d'Orsay.
As a result, a group of Paris special police officers who received Anthony's reminder were already in full formation and directly surrounded those guys.
Faced with this situation, the so-called art thieves wisely chose to surrender without any resistance or struggle, and without firing a single shot.
In this way, they avoided casualties, but they only had to spend a period of time in prison.
At around two and three o'clock in the morning, Anthony and the others shot down several small drones that flew over from the sky to investigate the situation under the cover of darkness.
Seeing their small drone being brought down, those guys who were hiding and peeping in the distance immediately ran away and disappeared!
After all the chaos, the night finally passed.
In the blink of an eye it's a new day, the sun is shining brightly.
Not long after getting up in the morning, Anthony reported what happened last night.
Although it was a very unsettled night, there was no damage to the apartment building or the hotel, and no one was injured.
However, three Paris special police officers were injured in the firefight last night. Fortunately, the injuries were not serious.
Xiao Ran is quite satisfied with this result, at least it will not affect today's excavation operation.
After breakfast, Pierre and Caroline rushed to the hotel in a hurry.
As soon as they met, my father-in-law said excitedly:
"Sean, I stayed at the Louvre until midnight last night and found some information about Napoleon's treasure."
"When Napoleon led his army on an expedition to Italy, he stole many priceless sculptures from Rome, Milan, Florence and other places."
"They most likely include a work by Michelangelo, Heracles, and several sculptures from ancient Greece and Rome."
"After these sculptures were brought back to Paris, they were kept in several palaces. After Napoleon was defeated, they disappeared and have never been seen again."
"If these sculptures were hidden in the underground palace near the Bastille, their reappearance would surely cause a sensation in the entire Western world!"
Xiao Ran was also very excited when he heard what his father-in-law said.
"Wow! If we can really find a sculpture by Michelangelo and several ancient Greek and Roman sculptures, then this exploration would be perfect!"
"I am even more looking forward to the excavation operation that is about to start today, and I am looking forward to discovering more and bigger surprises!"
Not only him, but Elaine and the others were also excited and their eyes were shining with anticipation.
Soon, the time came to nine o'clock in the morning.
Xiao Ran took Elaine and the others and many company employees downstairs, preparing to rush to the Bastille Square to start further excavation operations.
In fact, a group of employees led by Matthew had already rushed there early in the morning to make various preliminary preparations.
When Xiao Ran led people into the hotel lobby, he immediately saw Carlin, Henry and others waiting here. Today there was also a deputy minister of the French Ministry of Culture.
When the two parties met, they exchanged polite greetings.
After chatting for a while, Xiao Ran suddenly called Carlin and the French Deputy Minister of Culture aside and whispered to these two guys:
"Gentlemen, I believe you already know that a group of my employees are in contact with Mrs. Henyard and her family to discuss the acquisition of the Red House in Paris."
"The work of Mrs. Henyard and her family has been completed, but if I want to buy the Red House in Paris, I still need the consent of the French Ministry of Culture and the Paris City Hall."
"Here, I hope that the French Ministry of Culture and the Paris City Government will give the green light and nod for my acquisition of the Red Building in Paris."
"One thing you can rest assured is that after I buy the Red Building, I will never demolish the Red Building, nor will I completely erase the traces of Lu Qinzhai's existence. Everything will continue as before!"
"And I will transform the Red Building into a better private museum and become one of Paris' cultural business cards..."
Upon hearing this, the French Deputy Minister of Culture and Carlin immediately looked at each other.
Immediately afterwards, the French Deputy Minister of Culture whispered:
"Sean, we already know that you sent someone to acquire the Red House in Paris, and we also received the transaction application submitted by Mrs. Henyal!"
"We still need to study whether it is allowed to trade the Paris Red House, and we can't give you a definite answer yet!"
"Here I want to ask, if we agree to your acquisition of the Red House in Paris, what can we get?"
Xiao Ran looked at the French guy, then smiled and gave the answer.
"Gentlemen, if you agree to my acquisition of the Red Building in Paris, then you can send experts to follow me into the underground palace to explore today!"
"If the legendary Napoleon treasure is really hidden in that underground palace, under the same transaction conditions, the French government will have priority in transactions than others!"
"The French government also enjoys priority in trading the precious historical documents and antique artworks found in Robespierre's treasure!"
"There is also the underground tunnel that we haven't had time to dig. We can dig together and then take away our own things based on the location of the items found."
"Then there is the treasure map of Louis XVI and Queen Mary. I already know where the treasure it points to is hidden. We can explore it together..."
Before he finished speaking, Karin and the others were completely stunned and they all exclaimed.
"Did I hear you correctly? Sean, can you really do what you say?"
The French Deputy Minister of Culture exclaimed in a low voice.
Xiao Ran gave so many benefits that they couldn't believe their ears!
But how did they know that Xiao Ran was just borrowing their flowers to do his own things!
For example, the treasures of Louis XVI and Queen Marie are buried near a famous palace on the outskirts of Paris, which is French government land!
It’s impossible for anyone to dig there without permission from the French government!
Xiao Ran looked at the two excited French guys and nodded affirmatively.
"Gentlemen, everything I say is true. Next, it depends on what you do!"
"I hope we can get the result today, it will be beneficial to both of us!"
Karin and the others paused for a moment, then quickly exchanged glances.
The next moment, the French Deputy Minister of Culture whispered:
"Okay, Sean, I will report your intentions and start a discussion as soon as possible."
"As for when the results will be available, I'm not sure."
Xiao Ran nodded slightly and chatted with the two French guys for a few more words before ending the conversation.
Afterwards, he took Elaine, the others, and many of his employees out of the hotel, preparing to rush to the Bastille Square!
At the entrance of the hotel, many media reporters and people watching the excitement had already gathered.
Seeing Xiao Ran and the others coming out, these guys immediately started asking questions loudly, one by one scrambling to be the first.
What they are most concerned about is naturally the legendary Napoleon's treasure and how to distribute it if it is discovered.
Reporters from various European countries took the opportunity to explain the relevant statements and claims issued by European countries, and asked Xiao Ran how to respond!
Xiao Ran did not give any response to these questions.
He just waved to everyone present, then took Elaine and the others into the car and left the hotel.
Twenty minutes later, the motorcade arrived on the street near the Place de la Bastille.
Only here did everyone realize that compared with the situation here, the lively scene in front of the hotel was nothing worth mentioning!
Although the excavation operation has not yet started, the street in front of the apartment building is already blocked. The street is dark and full of human heads!
Seeing this situation, everyone was stunned and became even more excited!
In fact, not only everyone is excited, but the whole of France is excited about today's excavation operation, and almost everyone is paying close attention to the situation here!
"Hercules"
