"Well, regarding this plan, I have actually been planning it for a long time."

When Lehman heard the old man's question, he immediately became energetic.

Obviously if the old man doesn't agree, it will be difficult for him to continue with his protection.

But since the old man asked, it means that he also thinks this plan is feasible.

"Actually, we cannot forcefully deal with a museum like the Met."

"I plan to outwit you, and the main direction of outwitness is to subvert one's strengths and weaknesses."

"This museum has a lot of collections, and it's impossible for us to collect them all."

"But everyone knows that in fact, the most valuable things in the museum's antique collection are two."

"One is oil paintings by famous Western artists, and the other is ancient porcelain from the Dragon Kingdom, as well as calligraphy and painting."

"I have already contacted many technicians in both places, if the organization approves my plan."

"I will call these technicians to different places in batches and let them copy the works in the museum."

"Then when the museum needs major repairs, these things will be replaced..."

"As far as I know, there are about 30,000 items on daily display at the Metropolitan Museum."

"It will be updated every six months. Before each update, the museum will be inspected and overhauled."

"This period is often the most chaotic time in the museum. My idea is to seize this window period."

Lehman explained it very carefully.

Chen Rui and the others listened very seriously, but they just didn't know if this guy was going to give the old man another try.

"Your idea is very good, but as far as I know, the inspection date of that museum is never fixed and never announced to the public."

The old man asked seriously again, and Lehman smiled slightly.

"It doesn't matter. Even if they keep it secret, I can use methods to force them to follow my timeline."

The old man was stunned when he heard this, but he understood what he meant.

But the old man didn't ask any more questions about how to do it specifically.

"Is this the only solution?"

Hoffman continued to question Lehman.

Lehman shook his head: "No, of course not, I have a plan B."

"Oh? Tell me."

“The method of substituting a weak point and replacing it with a new one is only suitable for large museums like the Metropolitan Museum of Art.”

“If you think about small and medium-sized museums like the Guggenheim, there are many in New York.”

"For a museum like this, my idea is very simple. Just find some people to rob it."

These words shocked Chen Rui and others.

This Lehman is really not crazy. Where is New York?

The most economically developed place in the United States is also the place with the highest density of police stations.

When you rob a museum there, aren't you looking for death?

But the two old men in the room didn't look worried at all at this moment.

It was just the old man wearing glasses who finally asked.

"What about after the robbery? Can you ensure that your people can retreat safely? As far as I know, those museums are basically in Manhattan."

"And the police density in that place is not that high."

Lehman now smiled confidently.

"Thomas, you don't have to worry about this, since I dare to arrange for people to rob these museums."

"Of course I know how to deal with the police..."

"Also, when I arrange for people to rob these museums, I don't actually have to force them to successfully rob them."

"If the robbery succeeds, that's the best. If the robbery fails, it doesn't matter."

"Anyway, as long as people can run away!"

Lehman's words confused the two old men opposite.

Thomas, who was wearing glasses, pushed Hoffman next to him: "Do you understand what your grandson is talking about?"

Hoffman glanced at Lehman: "Okay, stop beating around the bush, just tell the truth!"

Only then did Lehman say with a proud smile.

"Actually, this trick of mine is to scare the snake away. I don't really want to rob the museum when I let people rob it."

"I am just giving a warning to the wealthy people in the city, telling them that if they have treasures at home, it is not safe to keep them at home."

"Now there is an art thief in the city..."

Hoffman and Thomas looked at each other and smiled.

Chen Rui and Nielsen, who were thousands of meters away, also suddenly realized.

It turns out that this guy's target is not the museums, but the rich people in the city.

You know, New York is the financial capital of the world, and there are not just a few wealthy people.

But quite a lot!

And many of these rich people are from old wealthy families whose families have been rich for generations.

Of course, the energy of these old money families may not be comparable to that of established families such as Morgan and Rockefeller.

But it is well-established locally and has a history of hundreds of years.

And such families generally have very rich wealth and collections.

At this time, if they learn that there is a group of active art thieves in the city, can they still leave their things at home with peace of mind?

Or find a way to transport it to a safe house in another place.

Or find a safe place to store it!

"...In this case, who is the most famous antique conservator in New York?"

"Of course it's me!"

"The next thing I have to do is wait for these rich people at home to bring their heirlooms to my door."

"Hehe, as long as they get this thing into our hands and we want to take it back, then..."

Lehman smiled and finished explaining his plan.

And this was when Hoffman, who was opposite him, finally turned his head and looked at Thomas. The two of them looked at each other and smiled.

"Well, Lehman, your plan is very good and very courageous."

"But you must be careful when operating. This plan cannot be known to too many outsiders."

"There is no need to notify directors of other companies. We will help you deal with them then."

"In addition, I allow you to call on some of our forces on the east coast of North America and Europe."

"But remember, this time things must be done beautifully and don't make a big fuss."

Hoffman took the opportunity to help Lehman secure a lot of resources.

This time, Thomas, who was sitting next to him, did not speak.

When Lehman heard what Hoffman said, he immediately stood up happily and said: "Thank you!"

"Okay, that's it for today!"

The purpose of coming this time has been achieved.

By killing the scapegoat Wayne, he also learned about Lehman's thoughts on the future.

The two old men didn't intend to stay any longer. They stood up and said goodbye to Lehman, then went downstairs.

Lehman took them to the door and waited for the car to drive away before returning upstairs.
