Chapter 809: Here, Dig

Li Du took out his cell phone and called Bob. When Bob picked up the call, Li Du asked, ”Do you know Blanchette? He said he is your buddy.”

Bob, who was in Hobart with his son to treat his son's brain injury, listened to Li Du and quickly said, ”Stay away from that b*stard. He's a jerk.”

”What's the matter?” Li Du asked calmly.

After the initial indignity, he had now cooled down. He only had been robbed of $550,000. He could earn more than that in a day just harvesting black gold abalone.

”He's a sly bastard,” Bob said.

”Why?”

”You helped me find my child, but he and I are enemies. I could not bear him deceiving people before, and I have exposed him a few times. Because of this, the two of us have fought in the mines!”

Li Du sighed. He asked about the child's situation out of courtesy, then hung up.

This time he was frustrated. He had been carried away by Blanchette's enthusiasm, and because there was not much money involved, he had not been careful enough.

There were a lot of bugs in Blanchette's trap. Li Du ought to have been careful about looking into the situation, and he ought to have taken what Aubrey had told him about being wary of this bastard seriously.

However, he was new to the town, and he didn't know anyone, and things happened so quickly from the time he had gone to inspect the quarries until the deal was over.

Blanchette's scam had no technique. It was just quick. Everything was handled so quickly that Li Du had no time to discover the problem until it was too late.

The owner with the sunglasses guessed the general situation. He looked at Li Du and said in commiseration, ”Were you cheated?”

Li Du said, ”Yes. Blanchette, that b*stard, told me that they were selling me mine number 114. What we bought was mine number 115.”

The owner asked, ”When you went through the formalities, didn't you pay attention to the land number of the mine?”

Li Du shrugged. Blanchette had helped him with the formalities, and Li Du had been playing with his mobile phone at the time.

The number 115 mine was a derelict site. The owner continued to ask him, ”Do you still need to rent these tools? If you don't use them, I can give you a discount on a return.”

”How much discount can you give me?” asked Li Du.

.

The owner said, ”How about 20 percent?”

Li Du smiled. This boss still had some conscience.

The boss then said, ”I'll give you a 20 percent rebate.”

Li Du really wanted to curse. D*mn it again, the people in Lightning Ridge had really bad hearts!

The delivery cost 80 percent of the rental fee. Li Du said angrily, ”Put down the tools, I would be really d*mn stupid if I accepted that.”

The boss smiled lazily. ”Wasn't it stupid enough for you to be cheated into buying a shabby mine?”

With a single movement, Brother Wolf lunged at the boss and shoved him into the front of the truck.

The boss's face turned red.

Li Du frowned and said, ”Forget it, Brother Wolf. Let him go.”

Brother Wolf released him and said to the owner coldly, ”Mind your mouth!”

After being picked up by Brother Wolf, the owner was more polite. He unloaded his tools and drove away without saying a word.
