Chapter 1573 Great expectations

"Good morning, Thomas, it's been a long time, and I'm glad to see you, you look very good, just like the weather today, the sky is clear"

Ye Tian took two steps forward and greeted the director of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, with a bright smile on his face.

After the two shook hands with each other and exchanged a few words, Ye Tian greeted the rest of the Metropolitan Museum executives and antique art appraisal experts one by one, all of whom were old friends who had known each other for a long time.

In addition to these few, the rest of the old friends and peers who stayed outside the cordon and couldn't get close, Ye Tian didn't fall behind, and waved at them respectively, which was regarded as a greeting

Immediately afterward, Thomas asked with a little concern:

"What's going on in the shootout in Lower Manhattan, is it related to you, it is said that a group of armed robbers are exchanging gunfire with the police, and the fighting is very fierce, and the streets have completely turned into a battlefield"

Hearing Thomas ask like this, everyone nearby looked at Ye Tian, expecting his answer.

I saw Ye Tian nodding lightly, and said with a smile:

"You guessed it right, Thomas, the shootout in Lower Manhattan did have something to do with us, and the gunmen came at us, at the two paintings of Raphael and Michelangelo.

But unfortunately, those fools who don't know whether to live or die acted carefully enough, and before they could start their operations, they were completely surrounded by the New York police, and then a shootout broke out.

Those fools should be glad that it was the New York police who surrounded them, and that they still had a chance to live, and if those fools were against us, I can guarantee that each and every one of them would go to hell."

Speaking of this, the smile on Ye Tian's face suddenly changed, directly from a smile to a disdainful sneer, and a fierce murderous aura flashed in his eyes at the same time, undisguised

Listening to his words and watching the expression on his face change, everyone at the scene couldn't help but shudder, secretly frightened

For Ye Tian's words, everyone did not have a trace of doubt, the bloody battles that shocked the world again and again in the past, and the corpses that died on the streets one by one, are the most powerful proof.

After adjusting his mood slightly, Thomas immediately changed the subject.

"Steven, Raphael's Madonna and Michelangelo's Christ of Mourning, are they in that armored escort"

As he spoke, Thomas pointed to the armored escort that was parked behind the Paramount Marauders, his eyes were extremely hot and hot, and they were about to turn into lasers.

The rest of the people at the scene were no better, they all stared at the armored escort vehicle, everyone's eyes were extremely bright, shining brightly, and they couldn't wait to pounce on it

"That's right, Thomas, those two great works of art from the Renaissance are in that armored escort, and since we've reached an agreement, I'm not going to break my word

In addition to the two outstanding paintings by Raphael and Michelangelo, there are several top antique artworks in the armored car, which will also participate in this public exhibition to meet the general public"

Ye Tian nodded with a smile and said, briefly introducing the situation.

Hearing this, Thomas immediately said excitedly:

"That's wonderful, Steven, and it's a wonderful day to see both Raphael and Michelangelo at the same time

Let's stop staying here, let's send those two top artworks into the museum, it's still a little unsafe here, and if something happens accidentally, it will be troublesome."

"Okay, Thomas, we're going to unload the goods, escort those two top works of art to the Metropolitan Museum, set them up, and then put them on public display."

Ye Tian nodded lightly in response, and then took Matisse and David and turned around and walked towards the armored escort car.

"Huh"

The eyes of everyone in the square in front of the Metropolitan Museum of Art looked at this side in unison, and everyone's eyes were extremely hot and full of anticipation

At the same time, a large number of police and security personnel who were maintaining order at the scene, as well as the staff of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, quickly moved to erect two human walls to separate many onlookers

In the blink of an eye, they had cleared a passage through the plaza to the main entrance of the Metropolitan Museum.

On the side of the fifth main road, Ye Tian and the others had already come to the armored escort vehicle, and Mattis and the rest of the security personnel also surrounded and built a line of defense next to the car.

Each of them was on high alert, vigilantly watching their surroundings, the vehicles on Fifth Avenue, and the people in the plaza in front of the Metropolitan Museum, ready to respond

While stopping next to the armored escort vehicle, Ye Tian secretly turned on the perspective and thoroughly saw through all the people and vehicles at the scene, not letting go of a single corner

After making sure that there was no danger, he finished the scarf, then walked to the back of the armored escort vehicle and opened the two unusually sturdy bulletproof doors at the rear of the vehicle.

As the bulletproof door opened, several boxes in the compartment of the armored escort vehicle immediately appeared and appeared in people's field of vision.

The boxes were of different sizes and shapes, and each box was wrapped in a black sealed bag, so you couldn't see what was inside, so you could only speculate based on the shape of the box

Immediately afterward, Ye Tian let Jason and three other company employees enter the carriage, carefully removed the boxes, and put them on a trolley

"Bang Bang Bang"

The applause rang out again, and it was extremely enthusiastic.

Although I didn't see the paintings of Raphael and Michelangelo, only some boxes, the people were very excited and gave their applause.

Amid applause, Jason and another company employee pushed the cart and walked toward the main entrance of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, protected by Mattis.

Ye Tian and David, as well as Thomas and the Metropolitan Museum's high-level officials, followed behind and walked to the Metropolitan Museum together.

During this period, the applause in the square never stopped, and everyone looked at the boxes on the trolley, clapping and talking excitedly.

"Wow, who would have thought that those two outstanding paintings by Raphael and Michelangelo were in those boxes, which means that we will be able to enjoy those two top works of art later"

"Who's to say it's not, I can't wait to see those two masterpieces, and this time I came to New York, and I came to those two paintings."

In the midst of the heated discussion, Jason and the others pushed the boxes wrapped in black sealed bags, quickly made their way through the crowd, and soon came to the steps of the Metropolitan Museum.

There is a ramp pre-laid by the museum staff, and you can go up the ramp to the main entrance of the Metropolitan Museum.

After a slight pause in front of the steps, Jason and the others pushed the trolley up the ramp and walked straight to the main entrance of the Metropolitan Museum.

Ye Tian and the others then followed and also walked up the steps.

"Thomas, how is the preparation of the exhibition hall and the security situation, tell me about it, these two paintings are different from other antique artworks, there must be no problems"

During the march, Ye Tian asked in a low voice about the preparation of the exhibition.

"Don't worry, Steven, we've set up the showroom in accordance with the conditions you have proposed, and the humidity, temperature, and light conditions are impeccable.

As for security, it's even more of a problem, and I can assure you that the gallery displaying these two paintings is definitely the highest security gallery the Met has ever had."

Thomas said excitedly, swearing.

As they spoke, the group had reached the top of the stairs, the main entrance of the Metropolitan Museum.

"Please, Steven"

With that, Thomas made a gesture of please, and the two museum staff members standing at the door pushed the door open.

Then, Jason and the others pushed the trolley into the Metropolitan Museum, and Ye Tian and the others walked in after him, disappearing from the view of everyone in the square
