Chapter 94: Please Apologize

Translator: Nyoi-Bo StudioEditor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Many countries in the world banned domestic trading of elephant ivory, but not mammoth ivory. This was because the mammoth had already been extinct for ten thousand years.

Hans was, therefore, calm and collected even though the police car headed toward them.

Two cops got out of the car and one of them held a flashlight to inspect the truck.

”Sir, no parking here. Show me both of your driver’s licences—oh, you’re a friend of Rose, right?”

The cop who spoke was a white guy with brown hair. Li Du remembered his name was Capote. ”Hello Officer Capote, you’re right; I am Officer Rose’s friend, Li. We’ll leave right now.”

Capote was one of the police officers who were forced to apologize to Rose. Li Du had played a major role contributing to that incident. He felt uneasy seeing Officer Capote.

Officer Capote told his comrade, ”Check their trunk to see if they have any prohibited items.”

In no time, the other police officer came back and said, ”Buddy, don’t let them go—there’s a problem.”

Upon hearing this, Capote immediately placed his hand on his waist, which was where his gun was.

Hans explained, ”Relax, Officer—in my trunk, there’s only mammoth ivory, no elephant ivory.”

”Shut up! Out of the vehicle! Squat down!” Officer Capote shouted. ”Squat and put your hands on your heads!”

”D*mn!” Hans cursed.

”We should have run,” Li Du said.

Hans suddenly flared up. ”Okay! Okay! I know, I should have listened to you, all right? I should have listened! You are Big Li. Who am I? I’m Little Fox. From now on, I will listen to whatever you say, Okay?!”

Li Du spread his hands. ”Hey, come on, you know I didn’t mean that.”

Ah Meow ran over to Hans and purred gently. ”Meow, meow.”

Hans took a deep breath. ”Aww, Ah Meow’s such a nice kid. Li, I’m sorry, I don’t manage my emotions well.”

”You know I don’t mind. Don’t worry, we’ll be fine.”

The two police officers obviously don’t know the difference between elephant and mammoth ivory. Capote came over to them and said, ”Both of you, I hereby announce that you have been arrested for transporting prohibited items. You can call your lawyer now.”

”Oh my god, my taxes are used to feed idiots!” Hans said sarcastically.

Capote furrowed his eyebrows. ”What did you say?”

Li Du quickly came between the two, pushed Hans away, and said, ”It’s a misunderstanding, Officer. My friend is just a little worked up. We will call up our lawyer.”

Two men and an ocelot, together with their truck, were sent to the police station.

”Let’s give the lawyer a call,” Li Du said.

”There’s no lawyer,” Hans answered helplessly.

”F*ck, stop joking—don’t Americans have their own private lawyers?”

”You’ve watched too many Hollywood movies, haven’t you? It’s expensive to pay for a private lawyer. We’ll wait for the police’s appointed lawyer.”

Before the duo met their lawyer, they met Rose instead, wearing her civilian clothes. Both of them were held in a detention cell.

”Li, what happened? Alison told me you got arrested, but I thought she was joking.”

Li Du had a bitter smile on his face. ”We attended an auction and got some mammoth ivory. It’s not a prohibited item, but your colleague obviously thinks otherwise.”

Rose nodded her head, and in her usual calm manner she said, ”Okay, I’ve got it, don’t worry. It will be okay, but you both will be spending the night here. I can help and get you some food. Is there anything you both want?
