"Steven, someone is coming up from behind, obviously with bad intentions"
Cole's voice came from the invisible earphones and reached Ye Tian's ears.
At this time, Ye Tian and the others had left Michelangelo Square and were taking a bus to the Florence Academy of Fine Arts in the old city.
After taking down Botticelli's classical oil painting, Ye Tian never made a move. He just went to the remaining stalls to look at it, then turned and left.
With the **** lessons learned before them, how can the remaining antique stall owners dare to do his business! Each one of them is like a savage beast, guarding them tightly!
However, how did these guys know that Ye Tian instantly grasped the situation at their stall, and understood it more thoroughly than they themselves did.
Ye Tian's already prepared back-up, Bowie, has also arrived at Michelangelo Square and is secretly sweeping away all valuable antique artworks that have been ignored or seriously underestimated by people!
Just like their counterparts in famous antique markets such as Saint-Ouin in Paris, Notting Hill in London, and Place de la Sarreia in Nice.
From the moment Ye Tian stepped into Michelangelo Square, the antique dealers doing business here were doomed to the tragic fate of being robbed crazily. There was no way to avoid it!
Hearing what Cole reported, a disdainful sneer immediately appeared on Ye Tian's lips.
"Let guys be more vigilant, just in case. Can you see clearly who the other party is?"
"There are several groups of followers behind, some riding scooters and some driving cars, scattered in the traffic behind. These guys have all appeared in Michelangelo Square just now.
Among them was the extremely unlucky stall owner. This guy was obviously unwilling to give up, so he drove up and followed him. Then there were several thieves, including Italians, Gypsies, and Arabs! "
Cole's voice came again, quickly reporting the situation.
“Obviously, these guys came here for Botticelli’s classical oil painting. The valuation of that painting at 80 million euros completely drove these idiots crazy and lost their minds.
Although these guys are just cowards, there are some dangerous guys hidden behind them, such as Gypsy gangsters or mafia. After all, this is Italy, the home of the mafia.
So, we must be careful and make all our guys be alert and ready to fight at any time. If someone really rushes to rob us regardless of life and death, please don't be polite.
By the way, since we have free bodyguards, let’s not leave the Italian policemen following us idle. Let them know what’s going on and see how the Italian policemen respond.”
Ye Tian said with a sneer, and completed the arrangement in a blink of an eye.
"Understood, Steven, I will immediately notify the Italian police behind me and leave the security to us. Don't worry, if those idiots insist on coming here to seek death, then we will send them to hell!"
Cole responded decisively, with murderous intent in his words.
While talking, the motorcade passed the bridge over the Arno River and entered the old city of Florence.
As soon as they entered the old city, there was a sudden sound of emergency braking from behind the motorcade. It was very sharp and harsh, startling the people on the street.
The two Alfa Romeos originally following the convoy suddenly came to an emergency brake and quickly rolled their bodies sideways. The fronts of the two cars collided with each other and stopped in the middle of the road, completely blocking the street.
The two Alfa Romeos were driven by Italian policemen in plainclothes. The two cars also had civilian license plates.
They had received the situation reported by Cole, and then quickly asked their immediate superiors for instructions. After receiving the instructions, they made the move to close the road!
Seeing the unexpected situation ahead, other vehicles and motorcycles following the two Alfa Romeos had to brake suddenly and stopped in the middle of the road.
Suddenly, this ancient street became filled with the sound of brakes, became extremely lively, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense!
Fortunately, the streets in the old town of Florence are very narrow, and the vehicles are traveling at a relatively slow speed. Although there was an emergency braking without any warning, it did not cause any major accidents. There were only some rear-end collisions!
Before the harsh sound of emergency brakes subsided, another shrill siren suddenly came from several nearby streets. It was obvious that many police cars were quickly gathering here.
All the people on this street were dumbfounded for an instant. They froze on the spot, looking back and forth, wondering what was happening. Everyone's eyes were filled with fear!
Immediately afterwards, they saw such a scene.
The two Alfa Romeos parked in the middle of the street, blocking the street, suddenly opened the front and rear doors, and several burly men rushed out from the car. Their movements were neat and well-trained at first sight!
These guys all held firearms in their hands, either pistols or short assault rifles. As if they were facing a formidable enemy, they raised their guns as soon as they got off the car and pushed towards several cars and motorcycles behind them. .
"We are the Florence police. People in the car listen. Come out with your hands on your head and lie on the front of the car. Don't make any unnecessary movements, otherwise you will be responsible for the consequences!"
The stern warning sounded, resounding throughout the street and detonating this ancient street.
In an instant, the street was in complete chaos.
The people who reacted began to run away, holding their heads, bending their waists, screaming in terror, rolling and crawling towards the hiding place they thought was safe.
At this time, they hated their parents for giving them two fewer legs and they couldn't run fast enough.
Looking at Ye Tian and his convoy, they had already sped away and disappeared at the crossroads not far ahead.
It didn't take long for Ye Tian and his team to arrive at the entrance of the Academy of Fine Arts in Florence.
As soon as they turned onto the street where the Florence Academy of Fine Arts was located, Ye Tian and the others saw a large group of people gathered at the entrance of the Academy of Fine Arts, looking up towards the motorcade.
Without exception, these guys were all excited and their eyes were filled with anticipation.
Seeing this scene, Ye Tian immediately laughed softly, with a bit of pride in his eyes.
Obviously, relevant people from the Florence Academy of Fine Arts have received news that Ye Tian has discovered a portrait of Botticelli and is going to bring it to study with them!
If it were just a Botticelli painting, even if it was priceless, the guys at the Academy of Fine Arts in Florence would not pay so much attention to it, let alone go to the entrance of the academy to greet it.
The Florence Academy of Fine Arts itself has a collection of Botticelli's works, as well as Michelangelo's immortal masterpieces, "David", paintings by Raphael, and works by other top artists.
For the Florence Academy of Fine Arts, top-quality antique artworks have long been commonplace, and it is impossible to mobilize a large number of people for it.
The reason why they came out to greet him was that they heard that this classical oil painting was very special. It not only reflected Botticelli's own process of learning oil painting, but also reflected the initial development of oil painting in Italy.
After learning this, these guys from the Florence Academy of Fine Arts all came to the entrance of the academy, looking forward to Ye Tian and the others' arrival as soon as possible.
In the blink of an eye, the motorcade had arrived at the entrance of the Academy of Fine Arts and stopped end to end.
As soon as the convoy came to a stop, Cole and the others immediately got out of the car, quickly spread out, set up a cordon, and watched the surrounding situation vigilantly.
After confirming that the scene was safe, Ye Tian opened the car door with Betty and came out, appearing in front of the guys from the Florence Academy of Fine Arts.
At the same time, two white men in their 50s and 60s came quickly to greet them, with bright smiles on their faces, and greeted them enthusiastically.
"Good afternoon, Mr. Steven, welcome to the Florence Academy of Fine Arts. Nice to meet you. I am Mario, the director of the Florence Academy of Fine Arts"
"Good afternoon, Mr. Mario, I am also very happy to meet you. I have heard about your reputation for a long time, especially the Academy of Fine Arts in Florence. I have wanted to visit here for a long time"
Ye Tian shook hands with the other party and said a few polite words.
Immediately afterwards, the other person also introduced himself. He was also a senior member of the Florence Academy of Fine Arts and a famous painter.
After getting to know each other and exchanging polite greetings, Mario immediately said impatiently:
"Steven, we received news that you discovered a Botticelli portrait in Piazzale Michelangelo, a painting that has never appeared before. Where is that oil painting now?
And we also heard that this oil painting is extremely important. It reflects Botticelli's process of learning oil painting creation and the initial development of oil painting in Italy! is this real? "
Ye Tian nodded gently with a smile and said in a very positive tone:
"Of course it is true. That Botticelli portrait is in the car. You will see it later. After you study it carefully, you will understand how important that painting is. ”
As he spoke, Ye Tian pointed at the Mercedes-Benz bulletproof SUV behind him.
At this moment, a burst of piercing gunshots suddenly came from the distance, instantly tearing apart the tranquility of this ancient city.
"Bang bang bang"
The gunfire came from not far behind, from the neighborhood the motorcade had just passed through.
The moment he heard the gunshot, a sneer flashed across Ye Tian's lips, and it was fleeting!
