Chapter 244: The Top of The Mountain

As time had gone by, Li Du had learned more about Luo Qun.

He called the policewoman Luo Qun now. As compared to her English name ”Rose,” he thought this Chinese name was better, more elegant.

But he doubted himself. Perhaps he shouldn’t call her that—this name was wasted on a girl like her!

When they had first met, Luo Qun was cold and graceful, always looking cool and expressionless. Li Du thought had compared her to an ice princess.

But these impressions were just an illusion. After they got to know each other better, she started to show a different side to her. Thinking about it positively, she was naïve and innocent; thinking about it negatively, she was an absolute lunatic.

She started acting differently especially after he had given Luo Qun the Frances-autographed poster as a gift. The chemistry between them had grown and Luo Qun started to be herself; she was also acting more like a lunatic.

Li Du had no choice but to accept her. He realized that Luo Qun was cold when she was working, and she acted like a lunatic after she came home.

He understood, though, that Luo Qun was pretending. She pretended in front of her colleagues and the criminals when she was working. Then, she pretended in front of the person beside her after work.

He knew this must have been tiring—as time went by, it could even cause psychological issues. So when Luo Qun was being herself, he chose to deal with her kindly.

Well, I am a gentleman, right? Li Du convinced himself.

After he sorted through all the goods, Hans sold the chandeliers to the grocery store.

Kevin offered 20,000 dollars after Hans bargained with him—their final deal was 24,000 dollars.

There was another chandelier that was broken, and it was not as glamorous as this one. Big Quinn said, however, it was usable after he fixed it.

Therefore, Li Du thought someone might be interested in it at a second-hand goods auction. He decided to put the chandelier in an obvious spot to sell it at a good price.

But before the second-hand goods auction, there was another storage unit auction they had to attend.

”The warehouse is in Jerome, the mining town,” Hans said. ”We’ve been there before. Red Rock Storage Co., remember? They have six storage units for sale this time. I guess we could find some good stuff there.”

Li Du thought about it. ”Red Rock Storage Co….is that the place where we found the antique clocks?”

Hans nodded. ”Yes, that’s the place.”

Li Du was surprised. ”They’re holding another storage unit auction so soon? Are they trying to have a warehouse clearance and close the business? ”

Actually, it had been a while since they went to Jerome. It was mid-July now, and they had gone to the auction at Red Rock Storage Co. in March.

They departed one day later and arrived in evilest city in the West.

.

After knowing they were heading to Jerome for a storage unit sale, some of the treasure hunters in Flagstaff followed their footsteps, hoping to grab their share of wealth.

They drove to the small town; compared to spring, Jerome in the summer was much different and much hotter!

Jerome was a mining town, with tons of mining sites within its territory. This had brought huge damage to the landscape and environment. There were wild mountain ridges around the town, but there was too little foliage, grass, or trees to cool down the temperature.

As soon as he got off the car, the heat wave slammed Li Du right in the face.

Hans took two bottles of beer from the small fridge. He passed one of them to Godzilla and had the other one for himself. After he opened the bottle, he poured the beer down to his throat and got off the car. He waved his arms and yelled, ”This is great!”
