After breakfast, Ye Tian and Betty left the presidential suite with their luggage, and were escorted by Mattis and the others to the lobby on the first floor of the hotel.
As soon as they appeared, they caused a commotion in the hotel lobby.
A large number of media reporters waiting here immediately rushed over like a tide. Everyone was scrambling to be the first and extremely excited.
Unfortunately, Mattis and the others were prepared.
The seven or eight security personnel serving as perimeter guards immediately took action and quickly set up a cordon to block the media reporters four or five meters away from Ye Tian and Betty!
The hotel security personnel who were on tenterhooks and the Brussels police who were always on edge naturally did not dare to neglect and maintained order on the scene.
Seeing that they could not get close to Ye Tian, the media reporters could only stay four or five meters away and ask questions loudly to Ye Tian.
"Good morning, Steven, I'm a reporter from the Washington Post. What do you plan to do with Queen Mary's jewelry? Will you take them back to New York?"
"Good morning, Steven, I am a reporter from the French newspaper "Le Figaro". How are you going to respond to the statement issued by the French government last night about the jewelry?
As a French journalist, I support the French government’s claim that the jewelry from Queen Mary belongs to France and the French people, and you should not keep it privately!
Those jewelry pieces are of great historical significance and represent a period of history during the French Revolution. They should be placed in French museums, not in your personal hands! "
All kinds of questions swarmed in, bombarding everyone's ears, and the scene was extremely noisy.
What these media reporters are most concerned about is how Ye Tian handles Queen Mary's jewelry. No one doubts the authenticity of those jewelry!
Everyone has heard about Ye Tian’s ability to identify antique artworks, and they know that he can never be wrong. If he said that those jewelry were once the favorite of Queen Mary, then it must be!
Before coming here, many media reporters also did their homework.
Through Gatlink and Jürgen, as well as the two Belgian policemen at the antique shop yesterday, and even through the mouths of the Ghent father and son, many media reporters have received very precise information!
The pieces of jewelry that Steven discovered yesterday are Queen Mary's favorites, there is no doubt about it!
That diamond necklace was also the famous diamond necklace that King Louis XV of France specially customized for his mistress and sent Queen Mary to the guillotine.
In addition, these media reporters also obtained photos of the diamond necklace and surveillance screenshots of the antique store from Gatlink and the others!
From yesterday afternoon to this morning, those photos and video screenshots have been spread all over the world, and almost everyone has seen them.
The moment they saw the diamond necklace, everyone was completely shocked and fell into a state of obsession, without exception!
After waking up from the shock, everyone was very sure that this was the famous diamond necklace in French history. 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 am Steven, nice to meet you all here, Brussels is a very beautiful old city, I like this city.
Regarding the pieces of top-quality jewelry I found in the antique store yesterday, I would like to explain a few points in particular to put things in perspective and prevent some people from overthinking and having inappropriate thoughts.
First of all, I want to explain that I obtained those top-quality jewelry through legal means. The entire process was open and transparent, with not only many witnesses but also contract documents.
It is undeniable that they once belonged to Queen Mary more than two hundred years ago, but today, more than two hundred years later, they are my private property. No one can deny it!
As we all know, private property is inviolable! This is an unshakable golden rule and an important cornerstone of the existence of a civilized society. It is the same whether it is the United States or France! "
Hearing this, everyone at the scene couldn't help but nodded, including the reluctant reporters from France!
No one can argue with Ye Tian’s words!
And he did the whole thing so seamlessly that even if others wanted to find trouble, they would have nowhere to start!
After a pause, Ye Tian continued:
“I saw the statement issued by the French government last night on the news. I can only say that they are overthinking it and it is a bit ridiculous. 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 was the slogan of the French Revolution? If I remember correctly, it should be liberty, equality and fraternity!
If the French government does not even have the most basic legal knowledge and does not understand and abide by the golden rule that private property is inviolable, then how can we talk about freedom, equality, and fraternity?
Here, I would like to solemnly declare that the top-grade jewelry discovered yesterday belongs to my private property. There is no doubt about this, and no one can covet it, including the French government.
I am currently considering how to deal with these priceless top-grade jewelry. It should not take long before there will be a reasonable plan, and everyone will naturally know it by then.
We still have a lot to do and don’t have time to continue interviewing you. I’m very sorry! Here, I would like to thank everyone for your attention and hope you all enjoy this wonderful day. Goodbye! "
After finishing speaking, Ye Tian nodded to Matisse, and then led Betty towards the coffee shop located on the side of the hotel lobby.
In the blink of an eye, Ye Tian and the others walked into the coffee shop and disappeared from the sight 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.
"That guy Steven is right. The French government has indeed overthought it. If they don't pay a heavy price, there is no way they can get back Queen Mary's jewelry. There is no chance at all.
Who has ever taken advantage of this guy Steven? Never heard of it! Canadians, Spaniards, Peruvians, and Costa Ricans all came back defeated, and the French were no exception! "
"I really admire this guy Steven, he is such a bastard! He is not afraid of anyone, he actually dares to satirize the French government in front of so many media reporters, it is so sharp!
Look, wherever Steven goes, there will be countless wonderful performances, just like his previous performances in New York and other places! I love this fearless guy! "
Ten minutes passed while I was talking.
Ye Tian and the others walked out of the coffee shop and appeared in front of everyone again. They were talking and laughing with very relaxed expressions.
This time Ye Tian did not answer the questions raised by the media reporters. Instead, escorted by Mattis and others, he walked straight to the hotel door and quickly walked out of the hotel.
At this time, eight or nine black Mercedes-Benz bulletproof SUVs were parked in front of the hotel, full of momentum.
With the assistance of the hotel security personnel, Ye Tian's armed security personnel established an exclusive passage, completely separating the hotel guests, passers-by, and media reporters who were watching the excitement outside!
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 from the buildings opposite, providing perfect cover for Ye Tian and the others!
Even so, Ye Tian is still very cautious!
As soon as he walked out of the hotel, he immediately turned on the X-ray secretly and quickly looked through the onlookers and media reporters on both sides of the hotel entrance without missing any one!
There are many guys with ulterior motives outside the hotel door. Ye Tian even saw two guys with pistols on their waists. It was obvious that they came with bad intentions!
Given that Matisse and the others were always on high alert, each of them extremely tough and murderous, the two guys did not dare to make any move and could only stare at Ye Tian and the others from afar!
Immediately afterwards, Ye Tian changed his target again and quickly looked through the eight or nine Mercedes-Benz bulletproof SUVs parked in front of the hotel, and he didn't miss any of them!
After confirming that there were no problems with these bulletproof SUVs and no safety risks, Ye Tian took Betty onto an SUV in the middle and completely disappeared from people's sight!
Just as they walked out of the hotel, the French Ambassador and Cultural Counselor to Belgium, who had just met with Ye Tian, also walked out of the coffee shop!
Both of these guys had gloomy faces and very ugly expressions, as if someone owed them hundreds of dollars but hadn't paid them back.
Seeing them coming out of the coffee shop, many media reporters guarding the hotel lobby immediately swarmed up and surrounded the two of them.
At the door of the hotel, the motorcade that Ye Tian and the others were riding in had started with a bang, quickly leaving the five-star hotel and heading straight for Antwerp.
At the same time, on the roof apron of two high-rise buildings a few kilometers away, two medium-sized helicopters roared into the sky and quickly approached the fleet of Mercedes-Benz bulletproof SUVs!
In other places inside and outside Brussels, many people followed closely and drove up quickly. Everyone in the car had red eyes, shining with greed!
Obviously, these guys are here for those priceless pieces of jewelry, and are ready to find an opportunity to rob Ye Tian and make a huge fortune!
