Chapter 3078： Remote transaction

In a blink of an eye, it was already around 12 midnight.

"Boom Boom Boom"

Suddenly there was a sudden burst of gunfire outside the hotel, which awakened Ye Tian who was asleep.

The other members of the three-party joint exploration team were the same, and they were all awakened by the gunshots.

The first time he woke up, Ye Tian quickly picked up the G36C short assault rifle placed on the bedside, and was ready for battle.

For safety's sake, he did not turn on the light in the bedroom so as not to attract enemy attacks.

While picking up the assault rifle, he also turned his head and looked at the wall outside the room.

In a blink of an eye, his gaze penetrated the wall and saw the situation outside the hotel.

The night sky outside was dark, and the street lights on the streets in front of the hotel were still on, and a large number of Tigray State military police were guarding those streets.

The gunfire came from another street not far away from the hotel. The straight line distance from the hotel was only one or two hundred meters. The two parties who exchanged the fire seemed to be the Tigray State Military Police and a group of unidentified guys.

With the sound of gunfire, the Tigray State military police guarding around the hotel immediately became highly vigilant!

Some of the military and police quickly ran to the street where the firefight took place to support the military and police there.

The many Israeli military police guarding the hotel courtyard and the front and rear doors immediately set up machine guns and were ready for battle.

Ye Tian quickly scanned the surroundings, then picked up the walkie-talkie and asked:

"Cole, who was the firefighter with the Tigray State Military Police outside? Didn't it come for us?"

The next moment, Cole's voice came over.

"Steven, I just asked the person in charge of the military police of the People's Liberation Army about the situation. According to the other party, it was a group of masked militants trying to approach the hotel under the cover of night!

They just walked to a street near the hotel, and they happened to be spotted by the patrolling soldiers. The two sides immediately exchanged fire. Those guys came for half of the treasure in our hands! "

"Sure enough! Notify all the guys, so that everyone is on high alert and ready to fight at any time, especially to protect the safety of the company's employees and those experts and scholars!"

Ye Tian said coldly.

"Understood, Steven, don't worry, these things are left to us, this hotel has been guarded by us, no one wants to break in!"

Cole responded, ending the call randomly.

The gun battle that took place on the nearby street did not last long.

In less than ten minutes, the gunfire had disappeared.

Soon, tranquility was restored inside and outside the hotel.

After a false alarm, everyone went to bed again and fell asleep shortly after.

You have experienced a lot of things like this, and you've long been used to it.

...

When the time came to about 4 in the morning, a huge engine roar suddenly came from the sky, waking everyone up from their sleep again.

Those are two medium-sized helicopters coming from Aksum Airport.

The two medium-sized helicopters were driven and protected by special elites from Israel.

In a short while, the two medium-sized helicopters flew to the hotel and landed on the parking lot inside the hotel one after another.

As soon as the two helicopters stopped steadily, Ye Tian, ​​fully armed, took Cole and the others, pushed a few luggage carts out of the hotel, and quickly walked towards the helicopter.

On those luggage carts, there were piles of portable safes of various sizes.

Those portable safes contained the half of the treasure that was just acquired.

Following Ye Tian and the others ran to the helicopter, Seaman and an official from the Israeli Ministry of Culture.

The Tigray state military police guarding outside the hotel were stopped by Israeli military police and agents, and they could only stay in the distance to watch the excitement, and couldn't get closer at all.

When he came to the helicopter, Ye Tian immediately commanded his security personnel to load the portable safes onto two medium-sized helicopters.

Immediately afterwards, he handed a folder to the two company employees who escorted the treasures.

"Guys, you only need to **** this treasure to Tel Aviv International Airport in Israel, where someone will meet you to receive the treasure, and then you can come back.

In the folder are the customs clearance documents and other information of this treasure. In other words, this treasure is legal. Transporting them to Tel Aviv was approved by the Tigray State Government.

If someone makes things difficult for you, show them these files. If the other party ignores these files, don't argue with each other. Safety comes first. I'll go back and talk to those guys!

In the process of transferring this treasure, if you encounter any danger, such as someone trying to rob this treasure, all you have to do is to ensure your own safety and leave the rest to me! "

Having said that, Ye Tian looked at the Israeli special forces in the cabin.

Swept by his sight, the Israeli special forces felt a chill in an instant, and they were secretly shocked.

"Understood, Steven, this task is too simple. We will return to Axum soon to meet you and continue to explore Solomon's treasure and the Ark of the Covenant!"

Derek nodded in response, and the other guy nodded, both of them full of confidence.

Afterwards, the two guys and an assistant lawyer boarded the two medium helicopters.

Ye Tian and the others stepped aside and watched the two medium-sized helicopters full of treasures soar into the air and flew to Aksum Airport quickly!

At this time, on the runway of Aksum Airport, an Israeli military transport plane that had just been filled up was waiting for the arrival of this treasure.

When the treasure is safely transported to Axum Airport, they will be immediately transferred to the military transport plane, and then fly to Tel Aviv, Israel!

After watching the two medium-sized helicopters leave, Ye Tian and the others returned to the hotel.

At the same time, on a street outside the hotel.

The two officers of the People's Array were looking at the two red signal lights that kept flashing in the night sky, with eyes full of dissatisfaction.

They didn't look back until the two red signal lights disappeared completely.

"The **** Steven is too cautious, he has too much energy, and he has transported half of the treasure overnight, so no one should think about the idea of ​​that treasure now!"

"Yeah! This **** is too cunning, almost invulnerable, such a valuable treasure, just like this is taken away by him, I can't be reconciled to think about it!"

At the time when the two officers of the People's Liberation Army were discussing, Ye Tian and the others had already returned to the hotel.

The next thing went very smoothly.

After a while, Ye Tian received a call from Derek, telling him that the treasure had been safely transported to Aksum Airport and transferred to an Israeli military transport plane.

Soon, the Israeli military transport plane took off and flew straight to Tel Aviv, Israel.

At this time, the sky outside gradually lit up, and it was a new day.

...

It is about nine o'clock in the morning.

After breakfast, the tripartite joint exploratory team did not leave the hotel immediately and started today's exploratory operation.

Everyone stayed in the hotel to rest, but Ye Tian was not idle, calling the Bishop of Kent and Joshua into his suite.

When everyone arrived, he immediately said:

"Gentlemen, half of the treasures of our company will soon arrive at Tel Aviv International Airport, so that your people will be ready to start the transaction at Tel Aviv Airport.

My private plane is now parked at Tel Aviv Airport, and I own a private plane hangar on my own. We can trade in that hangar, which is very safe.

Although we are in Axum, we can participate in this series of antique art transactions through telephone and video conferences. In this way, we can effectively avoid mistakes.

As long as you deposit the payment into our company's bank account, you can pick up the corresponding antique cultural relics and artworks, and I will transport the rest to New York by private jet! "

"No problem, Steven, our people are at Tel Aviv Airport, ready to start a transaction!"

Joshua nodded in response.

Before the words were over, the bishop of Kent said:

"You guy is so thoughtful and admirable. I will tell our people to rush to Tel Aviv Airport!"

The other experts and scholars from major museums and universities also nodded one after another.

Afterwards, everyone took out their mobile phones and started making calls.

Soon after, the Israeli military transport plane carrying the treasure landed smoothly on the runway of Tel Aviv Airport.

About half an hour later, the video conference by telephone that Ye Tian said officially kicked off.

Through this video conference call, Ye Tian sold many of the antique cultural relics and works of art, as well as gold and silver treasures, obtained from the Nda Cion Church yesterday to the other parties.

With the completion of these antique art transactions, a huge sum of money flooded into the bank account of the Brave Fearless Exploration Company.

These transactions went very smoothly and were completed very quickly. Everyone has their own gains and everyone is happy.

As for the unsold items, as well as the antique cultural relics and works of art that Ye Tian prepared for his own collection, he used his private jet to directly transport them to New York.

It wasn't until about 10:30 in the morning that the tripartite joint exploratory team left the hotel to prepare for today's exploratory operation.

Just like yesterday, the people who accompanied the tripartite joint exploration team, or supervised the scene, were still a group of Tigray people led by the deputy mayor of Aksum.

When Ye Tian and the others came downstairs, these Tigray people were waiting in the hotel lobby.

After everyone met, it was naturally a polite greeting.

Subsequently, Ye Tian pretended to ask curiously:

"Mr. Mayor, who are the guys who tried to sneak into this hotel last night? Have their identities been found out? Did the police show any casualties last night?"

Hearing the question, the deputy mayor of Aksum's face immediately turned red.

Those guys who tried to sneak into the hotel last night were actually militants in Tigray State, and they were local militants under the command of the people!

Those guys came for the half of the treasure in Ye Tian's hands, but they were discovered by their own people, and then they fought on the street near the hotel, killing each other!

Not long after the battle, the Mentalist Array figured out the identities of those guys, it turned out to be his own!

After learning of this result, the representatives of the People's Front and the deputy mayor of Aksum were a little bit dumbfounded.

In view of this, they did not inform the tripartite joint exploration team of the investigation results, but Ye Tian already knew the truth of the matter through his own channels.

Because of this, he has this question!

"Steven, according to our investigation, those guys are militants from Amhara state who followed the tripartite joint exploratory team all the way to Axum.

They wanted to rob the half of the treasure in your hands, but they were discovered by our people. That's why the exchange of fire took place. Those guys have been arrested.

You don’t have to worry at all, we will try our best to ensure the safety of the tripartite joint exploration team to ensure that your next exploration operations can proceed smoothly! "

The Deputy Mayor of Axum said with a smile, naturally speaking nonsense.

"Don't worry at all? Don't be nonsense, what worries us most is you guys!"

Ye Tian thought to himself.

After a few more conversations, everyone walked to the door of the hotel.

As soon as they walked out of the hotel, the numerous media reporters gathered at the door immediately began to ask questions loudly.

"Good morning, Mr. Steven. According to the information we have received, the half of the treasure that your company obtained from Endasiion Church yesterday has been transported out of Aksum overnight.

Is this news true? If it is true, I would like to ask? Did you transport the treasures through legal procedures? Have the relevant taxes been paid? "

"Good morning, Mr. Steven, this is an NBC TV reporter. We all heard a fierce gunfire last night. The firefight happened near this hotel.

I would like to ask, is this firefighting incident related to you? Is it related to the treasure found yesterday? Who is the other party? Are you fighting each other? "

"Good morning, Mr. Steven, I am a reporter from the Jerusalem Post. May I ask where the tripartite joint exploratory team will go to explore today. Can you tell us about the situation?"

Numerous media reporters asked questions loudly, making the scene extremely noisy.

Ye Tian looked at these media reporters, then smiled and said loudly:

"Good morning, friends from the media and reporters, thank you for your attention. Next, I will briefly answer the questions you have just raised to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings.

Everyone’s news is correct. We did transport half of the treasures we found yesterday, but this time the transfer of the treasures is completely legal, and we will not pay a penny less in tax.

We have received the support of the state government for this transfer of the treasure, and we have gone through various customs clearance procedures overnight and paid customs duties. The reason for doing this is for safety reasons!

Here, I want to tell all the guys who are staring at the treasures not to stare at this hotel anymore. There are no gold and silver treasures here, but there are quite a few well-armed security personnel! "

"Hahaha"

There was a burst of laughter at the scene, and everyone laughed.

After a short pause, Ye Tian continued:

"As for the gun battle that took place near the hotel last night, we did not participate in it, and we do not know the situation very well. You can ask the Axum police for the relevant situation.

Let's talk about the exploration operations that will be launched today. The exploration locations need to be kept secret for the time being, but it will not take long for everyone to know the answer. I hope we can gain something today! "

After speaking, he waved goodbye to these media reporters, and then boarded the bulletproof SUV next to him.

Numerous media reporters at the scene were still asking questions loudly, pressing the shutter button to take pictures, but received no response.

Soon, the joint exploration team started suddenly and left the hotel.

Moments later, the convoy drove into the street where the firefight took place last night.

On this street, there are two other pickup trucks that have been burnt down before they can be transported away.

The buildings on both sides of the street were full of bullet holes, and the whole street was devastated.

Through the car window, Ye Tian looked at the situation on the street outside, then picked up the walkie-talkie and said:

"SiemanHow is the situation around the Obelisk Square? Are there any suspicious people haunting? We will stay there for a long time, so we must be careful!

The environment there is very complicated, there are mountains, forests, and criss-cross tunnels. There are many places for hiding. These places must be carefully investigated! "

"Don't worry, Steven, since yesterday, our people have been secretly lurking there, investigating every location that can be used for ambushes.

So far, we haven’t found any suspicious people coming out, and I’ve dispatched several sniper teams and occupied several commanding heights.”

Seaman reported the situation, and it didn't sound like a problem.

Next, Ye Tian learned about some other things, and then ended the call.

Then he took out his mobile phone and began to contact those security personnel who were following his orders to make various arrangements, just in case!

While they were talking, the joint exploration convoy drove out of Axum and drove straight to the Obelisk Square located at the foot of a nearby mountain!
