Chapter 337 A Little Trick (2/2)

Therefore, as though kneeling down respectfully, Mr. Li was being pressed down onto the corridor.

Ah Meow squatted on his back, and mewled non-stop. Irritation showed in his eyes and on his bulging face: he was obviously not happy with Li Du for not having spent any time with him these past few days.

Crispy Noodles also whined, showing his displeasure as well. He leaped to Li Du’s side, and used his front claws to pinch his sleeve, refusing to let go.

Big Quinn quickly helped Li Du up, and said, ”Boss, are you alright?”

Li Du laughed bitterly. ”Almost got crushed by these little b*tches. I’m fine, let me go back for a rest—I’m probably suffering from a slight heatstroke.”

Hans said, ”You need to exercise more—why do you get heatstroke so easily?”

”Get lost, go get me something to eat and drink. I’m starving.”

Godzilla nodded in consent. ”Yes, starving.”

On the second day, they split into two groups: Hans brought Big Quinn with him to participate in the Beverly Hills auction while Li Du and Godzilla continued to check on the remaining few storage companies.

During the morning, while he was wandering around a storage company, Hans called. ”D*mn, these LA guys are filthy rich. Both units have gone for over 10,000 dollars.”

Li Du said decisively, ”Then don’t get involved.”

The items in the two units could probably be worth more than 10,000 dollars, but they need to be tidied. With the labor costs and amount of time it would take, it would not be profitable to pay 10,000 dollars for them.

Keeping in mind that there were many rich people in LA, Li Du was more thorough in his viewing of the remaining storage units.

There was a unit with some leather. With the humid weather, the leather—which had not been kept properly—was giving off a stench that one could smell even from the outside.

He walked past, covering his nose, while Godzilla frowned and said, ”So stinky.”

Hearing this, Li Du’s heart jumped and an uneasy feeling came over him!

His minimum expectation for this auction was to successfully bid for the storage unit with the rose essential oil, but he was now worried that it would not be easy to get the unit.

This was because storage units could give off smells; Godzilla’s words had reminded him of this. If they could smell the stench of the leather, then it was probably that they would also be able to smell the scent from the rose essential oil in the other storage unit.

There were shrewd characters among the treasure hunters in LA. After smelling the scent, coupled with those bottles on display, many would probably be able to figure out the identity of the storage unit.

Hence, he went in crisis-management-mode and began to think of solutions for the crisis.

The glassware was confusing—the presence of the rose essential oil could not be deduced from the glassware alone. What was most crucial was the scent.

Li Du rubbed his chin and formed a plan.

He went to a supermarket to buy a water gun, and also a few bottles of strong-smelling antiseptic solution.

That night, he poured the antiseptic solution into the water gun, discreetly crept up to the unit, and sprayed the antiseptic solution into the attic as well as the lower level of the unit using the water gun. The storage had roller-shutter doors with gaps at the bottom of the doors and the two sides, so he was able to spray the water through those.

After this operation, this storage unit smelled like the antiseptic solution.

The next day, they went near Pershing Square, where a storage company there was going to start conducting an auction.

Li Du had previously noted that there was a storage unit here with a high-compression fire extinguisher and an engine, which could both be sold for quite a reasonable sum of money.
