After speaking with Brother Wolf, Li Du approached Hans, who was on the phone, and said, ”Let Victoria stay and hang out with Ivana.”
Hans covered the speaker and said, ”I'm trying, but Mother Mesa's stubborn. I'll try harder.”
Li Du waved his hand. ”Not just try—exhaust all your means. Gotta keep her, it's a political mission.”
Hans stared at him blankly and then spoke into his mobile phone. ”Well, Mother Mesa, for God's sake, if like you said, you regard Little Fox Fox as your son, then let your children reunite . . . ”
As he spoke, he came over and pushed Li Du away so that he couldn't listen in on the conversation.
More than ten minutes later, Hans hung up and walked over. He sighed, ”As per your instruction, BOSS, I've completed the political mission.”
Li Du nodded satisfactorily. ”Well done, Little Fox Fox.”
”Who's Little Fox Fox?” asked a stunned Big Quinn, who was hard at work.
Pissed off, Hans hollered, ”Shut up. I don't want to hear this name one more time, or I'll fight it out with you!”
Li Du laughed loudly; he hadn't expected Mother Mesa to give Hans such a sappy nickname.
So Victoria stayed. There were two rooms with two beds, and the two little girls would be sleeping there together.
Since the start of dinner, the two girls had begun to chatter about the activities for the evening.
Ivana showed her the toy she'd been sleeping with and also gave her a beautiful set of pajamas. Victoria was happily working on a drawing; Li Du took a peek—the lass was designing the decoration for their small room.
He spoke to Brother Wolf with a tinge of resignation. ”Keep an eye on them. Don't let them bicker.”
Brother Wolf smiled warmly and said, ”Yes, boss.”
The two little girls started to live together early December, and Li Du told Sophie about the whole matter.
Sophie was thrilled that this had a good ending. The two introverted girls comforted each other, supported each other and encouraged each other—they were good for each other.
From this period on, Li Du drove to the old goods market frequently.
Hoffman was not the only old goods market near Flagstaff and its surrounding areas. Many towns and remote areas had such markets of varying scales, and so he went everywhere to have a look.
Hans couldn't understand why, as he felt that the profits made at the old goods market were much less than those from storage auctions. Furthermore, as the two of them were more familiar with the latter, they shouldn't bother with the former.
Li Du couldn't explain that he'd gone to the old goods market not only to make money but also to replenish the little bug's energy.
He had amassed nearly 30 million dollars before accounting for taxes. That was way too much money for him to still have any interest in storage auctions.
There might be little money to earn from the old goods market, but there was time capability for the little bug to absorb—this was much better than earning money.
The city of Flagstaff was connected to the Colorado Plateau, and in the northwest was the Colorado River. On the southeast bank of this river, there was another old goods market called ”Horseshoe Town.”
