281 Everyone has something to gain
In the early morning, the two came to Chicago again.
But as they approached Chicago, they drove into a nearby forest.
There are many vacation cabins in the woods nearby, and the owners only come back to stay there when they are on vacation.
Usually no one comes over, so they chose one of the rooms and moved Jack into the house.
Chen Rui checked the guy's wounds and luckily he had a penetrating wound on his leg.
The bullet did not stay in the body and did not damage any muscles or bones, so there was no need to go to the hospital.
As for his ribs, Chen Rui couldn't help but be shocked after opening the package.
There should be a large area of burn, with a whole piece of skin falling off and the flesh rotten.
It should be that after being scratched by a bullet, the skin was not treated in time, resulting in large-scale ulceration of the skin.
The two of them rummaged around in the cabin and luckily found a first aid kit.
At this moment, Jack had fallen into a feverish coma.
They re-cleaned Jack's wound, bandaged it, and gave him a shot of antibiotics.
After all the hard work, the two of them were very tired.
I took turns squinting in this small wooden house for a long time.
By the afternoon, Jack's fever had subsided somewhat, but he was still in a coma.
They gave the guy another shot of antibiotics and then fed him some liquid food.
Then Chen Rui took out a wad of bills from his arms and stuffed them into Jack's pocket.
Before the guy woke up, he took Karen and left.
"I really don't understand, why do you have to save him?"
The two embarked on the journey back to Los Angeles again, but it didn't take long.
Karen still couldn't help being curious and asked Chen Rui.
Chen Rui looked at her with a smile: "To save him is to save ourselves."
"Oh? Why?"
"Didn't you hear Carl talking to that Mr. Wen?"
"This shows that there is a huge organization behind them, and you see, it didn't take long for Karl to get the message."
"His rescue is already here. We took away those paintings. Do you think those people will let us go?"
"If we had left Jack there, they would have known there was a third party present."
"But if we take Jack away and let him live, then they will just chase Jack!"
Chen Rui said, and Karen looked at him in a strange way.
"Look what I'm doing? I don't have any flowers on my face!"
"This is the first time I've discovered that you are so smart!"
Karen didn't hold back and smiled.
Chen Rui also breathed a sigh of relief.
This trip to Boston was successfully completed.
Not only did the two get hand-drawn photos of Pablo's treasure from Jasper.
He also unexpectedly became the big winner at the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston.
The most important thing is that they also found several antique oil paintings from that house.
This trip was definitely a bumper harvest for them.
On the way back, the two of them were not in such a hurry.
Instead, I slowed down and even turned on vacation mode.
When you come across a famous classic, stop and rest for a few days. When you come across a delicious restaurant, drive there and enjoy the food.
It was originally a two-day journey, but the two of them drove for a week before returning to Los Angeles.
Of course, they were not just having fun along the way.
I also pay attention to the Boston Museum of Fine Arts and what’s going on in Chicago.
Sure enough, as Chen Rui expected, the forces behind Karl did not announce the news of Karl's death.
An announcement was only made to the public that Mr. Carl Meyer resigned from the position of Director of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, due to personal reasons.
Then there was no more news about this person.
As for the museum's claims against several major insurance companies, it was obviously overshadowed by others.
A piece of news that was quite popular a few days ago has become silent these days.
As for Chicago, there was no news that Jack had been arrested.
There was not even any news that the vacation cabin was broken into.
It seems that Jack must have survived and escaped.
Seeing this situation, the two of them breathed a long sigh of relief.
On this day, the two finally returned home to Los Angeles.
Although this house belongs to Karen, after living there for a long time, Chen Rui also has an inexplicable feeling for it.
After returning home, the two of them naturally wanted to sort out the spoils of their trip to Boston.
The first treasure was naturally the bronze goblet that Chen Rui accidentally discovered in the market.
In the past few days, he has been researching the origin of this bronze, but he has not found the exact source.
But it is certain that this should be a wine vessel used by nobles of the Shang Dynasty.
It has a very high historical value. It may not be a big deal abroad, but at home, it is definitely worth a lot of money.
The other thing is Rembrandt's "The Storm on the Sea of Galilee" which was dug out of the old house.
Vermeer's "The Concert of Three" and Rembrandt's "Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man".
And these four paintings are Monet's "Cheney Totoni".
Speaking of these four paintings, any one of them is a priceless treasure.
The most expensive one is probably Monet's "Cheney Totoni".
Although Chen Rui couldn't understand the meaning of the painting, in his opinion, the painting was just a mosaic.
But you can’t stand Monet’s fame!
The originator of abstract art and a representative of the three masters of French oil painting.
In the market, the prices of his paintings are never lower than those of Picasso.
Therefore, Chen Rui and others estimate that this painting is worth at least 50 million.
Then there is Rembrandt's "Storm on the Sea of Galilee", which is worth more than 30 million.
Then there is the painting "Concert of Three" by Vermeer, which is worth at least more than 20 million.
The cheapest one is Rembrandt's "Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man". This painting is worth more than 10 million!
The total price of these paintings alone exceeds 100 million, which is still a US dollar!
However, this is the normal auction price, but this is the current situation.
These paintings are definitely not up for auction.
But it’s not bad to keep it in your hands. After a few decades, you can take it out blatantly and pass it on to your family.
The rest is what they gained at the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston.
The most expensive piece of this collection is naturally Gauguin's "Where Do We Come From? Who Are We? Where Are We Going?".
This painting has a strong philosophical atmosphere.
It is simply a favorite of rich people who like literature and art, because this painting is to them.
It has a strong air of pretentiousness.
If you meet someone who wants to improve his or her personal status, and the nouveau riche pretends to be a criminal, then this painting can easily be sold for over 100 million yuan.
Of course, this is under normal circumstances...
