Following.
He slept until about nine o'clock in the morning before Xiao Ran woke up.
He turned his head to look at the sky outside, then gently pulled Elaine's arm away before getting up and getting out of bed.
After washing, he went downstairs to the living room on the first floor and turned on the TV casually.
The TV is broadcasting live and shows Las Vegas from above.
Overnight, Las Vegas has completely changed.
The riot that occurred in Las Vegas last night has basically subsided, and there is only some chaos in local areas.
This is the result of the all-out suppression of the Las Vegas police and the National Guard, and finally brought the situation under control, and it is estimated that many people died.
From the air, Las Vegas was devastated at this time.
The streets were littered with burning vehicles and buildings, a mess, and in many places there was still thick smoke, but there was no fire.
One or two casinos were even set on fire, leaving only ruins in flames.
This is only seen from above, and if it is on the ground, the situation can only be worse and more miserable.
Accompanied by devastated images, there are real-time broadcasts by media reporters.
"According to the latest official information, the number of casualties caused by this riot last night has expanded by 165 people
" "As for the damage to property, it is incalculable, and it is being counted,......"
Looking at the TV report, Xiao Ran couldn't help but be stunned and forgot to drink water.
The news images were shocking, but he had a very happy feeling, and he couldn't feel the slightest sympathy.
In the blink of an eye, he had come to his senses.
I immediately drank a glass of water to rehydrate and started making calls.
The call was addressed to Sylvia, and it was connected instantly.
"Good morning, Sean,"
Sylvia's voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Good morning, Sylvia, where are you now? Is it safe?
Xiao Ran asked with concern.
"We have now left Las Vegas, on our way back to Los Angeles, everyone is out of danger
" "Your bulletproof Cullinan and two bulletproof Chevrolet Saaban are right in front of us
" "The old lady swears, Las Vegas is a damn city, I will never come again!"
Sylvia said with trepidation.
"I
just read the news report that about 165 people died in Las Vegas last night, isn't it a bit too exaggerated?"
Xiao Ran asked curiously.
Before the words fell, Sylvia had already given an even more astonishing answer.
"Don't listen to the media, the real casualty numbers are definitely bigger than this, and the situation is worse than what you see
on the news" "From the time we drove out of the Venetian Casino to the time we drove out of Las Vegas, we saw no less than 100 dead people along the way
" "This is just the situation on the Las Vegas street, God knows how many people died elsewhere!"
"In the eyes of some people, the addicts and rotten gamblers who rioted last night are not estimated to be people, so the number of casualties of 165
is obtained" "The first New Mexico professional treasure hunters who were ambushed were almost completely destroyed, and it is said that only four or five ,...... survived"
Speaking of this, Sylvia suddenly paused and seemed to think of something.
Xiao Ran exclaimed at the right time and woke her up again.
Next, Sylvia continued the briefing.
Not long after they left by helicopter last night, the Venetian Casino Hotel suffered a violent impact.
Crazy addicts and bad gamblers are about to break through the defenses and storm the casino hotel.
Las Vegas police and the National Guard arrived in time, which prevented the tragedy.
As a result, the area around the Venetian Casino Hotel has become the second most popular battlefield after the casino area.
The people who died around the hotel were also second only to the casino area.
Those dead addicts and rotten gamblers are not estimated to be regarded as people, and are not counted in the casualty figures.
After the initial decision of the fright, Sylvia and they quickly completed the settlement, and then went to the top floor with what they photographed.
For the rest of the day, they watched from a high altitude as Las Vegas sank in the riots, protected by several armed security guards.
All night, they spent the whole night in this round of gunfire, and they did not dare to relax for a moment!
After dawn and making sure that the situation was under control, they immediately drove out of the Venetian Casino and fled Las Vegas as quickly as they could.
The other professional treasure hunters who participated in the auction last night, one by one, also fled Las Vegas.
In the process of fleeing, they saw the devastated streets, saw the many corpses on the streets, and almost didn't vomit out in disgust.
As you pass through the casino zone, you can see many New Mexico professional treasure hunters killed on the streets, and many pickup trucks burned to the ground.
It wasn't until they escaped from Las Vegas and drove far away that their mood calmed down a bit.
Listening to Sylvia's introduction, Xiao Ran was shocked again.
After a few more words, they ended the call.
After hanging up the phone, a smile suddenly appeared on his face, and then he made breakfast casually.
About half an hour later, he had made breakfast and went upstairs to get Elaine and the girls up.
When Elaine and the girls got up from the bed, washed up and went downstairs, they were also shocked by the content of the news report.
I heard that 165 people died in Las Vegas overnight, and the two beauties were terrified.
But how do they know how tragic the real situation in Las Vegas is and how many people have died.
Ten o'clock in the morning.
David rushed over, ready to deal with the investigation of all kinds of people.
After a while, someone came to investigate the situation.
This time, two agents from the Nevada branch of the FBI came.
David came forward on behalf of Xiao Ran to deal with these guys.
As for the process, like the guys who dealt with the FBI's Los Angeles bureau last night, there are questions and answers and a series of strong evidence.
In the face of these testimonies and evidence, those Nevada FBI agents are also difficult to suspect Xiao Ran.
While David was dealing with these guys, Xiao Ran was standing on the viewing terrace, enjoying the scenery while talking to others.
The call was from Counselor He, who first cared about Xiao Ran and gave a few instructions.
If he causes any trouble because of the Las Vegas incident, he must notify the Consulate General in time, and the Consulate General will help mediate and protect his interests.
After some care, Counselor He got to the point.
"Xiao Ran, for the title deed you photographed at the Venetian Casino in Las Vegas last night, and the corresponding land, there is a domestic enterprise that is very interested
" "This is a super large state-owned enterprise, they don't know where to receive the news, so contact the Consulate General, let us contact you and ask what you mean
" "If you are interested in selling the title deed and land, you can meet with their representative and talk, the price is easy to say!"
Sure enough, good things came!
This super-large state-owned enterprise is estimated to be the people that Jin Lao said in his private message last night, although it is not far away.
After pretending to think about it, Xiao Ran responded
: "Uncle He, I can't give an answer to this matter now
, how can I discuss it with other collaborators" "Those collaborators will return to Los Angeles today, I will gather them together to discuss this matter
" "When the discussion is successful, I will contact you again
" Counselor He on the other end of the phone said with a smile:
"As far as I know, how to deal with that title deed, You can say it in a word!
"But since it is the land obtained by the joint auction, it should be discussed and I will wait for your call"
Obviously, Counselor He knows a lot of things.
As for the channel of understanding, it is naturally through someone in the live broadcast room.
Xiao Ran laughed softly, and then diverted the topic.
"Uncle He, can you tell me which company this super large state-owned enterprise is?"
"And one more point, how much are they going to charge for this land?"
"Knowing their offer, I can convince those partners"
The next moment, Counselor He gave the answer.
"This super-large state-owned enterprise is PetroChina, and they very much want to take this land in the Pamilla Basin in the United States
" "As for the offer, I have to ask them to tell you, but anything is possible!"
Hearing this, Xiao Ran instantly understood.
After a few more conversations, he ended the call and prepared to return to the living room.
At this moment, someone suddenly sent a WeChat message over.
The person who sent WeChat is a fan of the collector's live broadcast room.
The content of WeChat is very short, only a few words, but it is very shocking.
"Xiao Ran, my boss wants to buy that piece of land, six hundred million US dollars!"
Seeing this amazing offer, Xiao Ran's eyes immediately flashed with ecstasy.
