Chapter 1283: The undercurrent is surging

After breakfast, Ye Tian and Betty left the presidential suite with their luggage, and came to the lobby on the first floor of the hotel under the escort of Mattis.

As soon as they appeared, they caused a commotion in the hotel lobby.

A large number of media reporters waiting here immediately poured over, and everyone rushed to be the first to be the first to be excited.

It's a pity that Mattis and they were prepared.

The seven or eight security personnel who served as guards on the perimeter immediately took action and quickly pulled up a cordon, blocking those media reporters four or five meters away from Ye Tian and Betty!

The worried hotel security personnel and the Brussels police, who were always nervous, naturally did not dare to slack off and maintained order at the scene.

Seeing that they couldn't get close to Ye Tian, those media reporters could only stay four or five meters away and ask Ye Tian questions loudly.

"Good morning, Steven, I'm a reporter for The Washington Post, what are you going to do with those Queen Mary jewelry, will you bring them back to New York?"

"Good morning, Steven, I'm a journalist for Le Figaro, how are you going to react to the statement made by the French government last night about those jewels?

As a French journalist, I support the French government's assertion that the jewels from Queen Mary belong to France, to the French people, and that you should not take possession of them!

The jewels are of great historical significance, representing a piece of history during the French Revolution, and they should be in a French museum, not in your own hands!"

All kinds of problems are swarming in, constantly bombarding everyone's ears, and the scene is noisy.

What these media reporters are most concerned about is how Ye Tian disposes of those Queen Mary jewelry, but no one doubts the authenticity of those jewelry!

Everyone has heard of Ye Tian's ability to identify antique artworks, and knows that he will never be wrong, if he said that those jewelry pieces were once Queen Mary's favorite things, then it must be!

And before coming here, many media reporters also did their homework.

Through Gatlinck and Jürgen, as well as the two Belgian policemen who were in the antique shop yesterday, and even through the mouths of the father and son of Ghent, many media reporters have been given very definite information!

The jewels that Steven found yesterday were the beloved items of Queen Mary, for sure!

That diamond necklace is also the famous diamond necklace that King Louis XV of France specially made for his mistress and sent Queen Mary to the guillotine.

In addition, these media reporters also got a photo of the diamond necklace from Gatlinck, as well as a screenshot of the surveillance in the antique store!

From yesterday afternoon to this morning, those photos and video screenshots have been circulated all over the world, and almost everyone has seen them.

The moment they saw that diamond necklace, everyone was completely shocked, and everyone fell into a state of obsession, without exception!

After waking up from the shock, everyone was very sure that this was the most famous diamond necklace in the history of France, and there could never be a second one in the world!

Ye Tian stopped, quickly glanced at the many media reporters at the scene, and then said loudly with a smile:

"Good morning, ladies and gentlemen, I'm Steven, it's a pleasure to meet you all here, Brussels is a very beautiful old city and I love it.

There are a few points I would like to make in particular about the top jewelry pieces I found in the antique shop yesterday, so as not to make some people think too much and think about them undeservedly.

First of all, I want to explain that I obtained those top jewelry pieces through legal means, and the whole process is open and transparent, not only with many witnesses, but also with contract documents.

It is undeniable that more than 200 years ago, they belonged to Queen Mary, but today, more than 200 years later, they are my private property, and no one can deny it!

As everyone knows, private property is inviolable! This is an unshakable golden rule, and it is also an important cornerstone for the existence of a civilized society, whether it is the United States or France!"

Hearing this, everyone at the scene couldn't help but nodded, including those media reporters from France who were unwilling!

For Ye Tian's words, no one can refute them!

And he did the whole thing seamlessly, even if others wanted to find fault, they had nowhere to go!

After a pause, Ye Tian continued:

"I saw the statement issued by the French government last night, and I can only say that they are overthinking, somewhat ridiculous and generous, and to be honest, this kind of statement should not come from a government.

Especially not from France, that diamond necklace is closely related to the French Revolution, but what is the slogan of the French Revolution? If I remember correctly, it should be liberty, equality, fraternity!

If the French government does not even have the most basic legal knowledge, does not understand and does not abide by the golden rule of the inviolability of private property, then what is the point of freedom, equality, and fraternity?

I would like to state for the record that the fine jewellery discovered yesterday is my private property, and there is no doubt that no one should covet it, including the French government.

I'm thinking about what to do with these priceless pieces of top jewelry, and it shouldn't be long before there is a reasonable plan, and everyone will know by then.

We still have a lot of work to do, and we don't have time to continue interviewing you, so I'm sorry!

After finishing speaking, Ye Tian nodded at Matisse, and then led Betty to the café located on the side of the hotel lobby.

In the blink of an eye, Ye Tian and the others walked into the café and disappeared from the field of vision of many media reporters.

But the many media reporters gathered in the hotel lobby did not disperse, they were talking enthusiastically while waiting for Ye Tian to appear again.

"Steven's right, the French government is really thinking too much, and if they don't pay a heavy price, they don't even want to get back those jewels of Queen Mary, there may not be anything at all.

Who has ever taken advantage of this guy Steven? I've never heard of it! Canadians, Spaniards, Peruvians, Costa Ricans, all of them have gone home, and the French will be no exception!"

"I really admire this guy Steven, this is a bastard! No one is afraid to dare to satirize the French government in front of so many media reporters, it is too sharp!

Look, there's bound to be a lot of great play going on everywhere Steven goes, just like he did in New York and elsewhere!

As he spoke, more than ten minutes had passed.

Ye Tian and the others walked out of the café and appeared in front of everyone again, several people were talking and laughing, and their expressions were very relaxed.

This time, Ye Tian did not answer the questions raised by media reporters, but under the escort of Mattis, he walked straight to the door of the hotel and quickly walked out of the hotel.

At this time, at the door of the hotel, there were eight or nine black Mercedes-Benz bulletproof SUVs parked, full of momentum.

With the assistance of the hotel security personnel, Ye Tian's armed security personnel established an exclusive passage, completely separating the lively hotel guests, passers-by, and media reporters from the door!

At the same time, the security personnel used the tall bodies of the eight or nine bulletproof SUVs to block the view from across the street and several buildings on the opposite side, providing Ye Tian with perfect cover!

Even so, Ye Tian was still very cautious!

As soon as he walked out of the hotel, he immediately secretly turned on the perspective, and quickly saw through the onlookers and media reporters on both sides of the hotel door, and did not let any of them go!

There is no shortage of scheming guys outside the hotel, Ye Tian even saw two guys with pistols on their waists, obviously not good!

In view of the fact that Matisse and the others were always on high alert, all of them were extremely fierce and murderous, and those two guys didn't dare to make any moves, so they could only stare at Ye Tian and them from afar!

Immediately afterwards, Ye Tian shifted the target again, and quickly saw through the eight or nine Mercedes-Benz bulletproof SUVs parked at the door of the hotel, and he didn't let go of any of them!

After making sure that there were no problems and no safety hazards in these bulletproof SUVs, Ye Tian took Betty to board an SUV in the middle and completely disappeared from people's sight!

Just as they walked out of the hotel, the French ambassador to Belgium and the cultural counselor who had just met with Ye Tian also walked out of the café!

Both of these guys had gloomy faces and very ugly expressions, as if someone owed them hundreds of hangings.

Seeing them come out of the café, many media reporters guarding the hotel lobby immediately swarmed up and surrounded the two of them.

At the door of the hotel, Ye Tian and their convoy had already started with a bang, quickly left the five-star hotel, and went straight to Antwerp.

At the same time, on the rooftop apron of two high-rise buildings a few kilometers away, two medium-sized helicopters also roared up, quickly approaching this Mercedes-Benz bulletproof SUV fleet!

In some other places inside and outside the city of Brussels, many people also followed, and the car quickly followed, and everyone in the car had red eyes and flashed with greed!

Obviously, these guys are all here for those priceless pieces of jewelry, ready to find an opportunity to loot Ye Tian and make a windfall!
