There was no doubt that the negotiations had started off with a firestorm.
Li Du did not know for sure whether they had spoken out spontaneously, or if they had discussed things ahead of time, however, he believed that these six people had come after discussing the matter in advance. He could feel an aura of conspiracy coming from them.
He had a dilemma. Because of the hot tempers involved, even if Li Du told Aubrey not to fight, there was a real possibility that a fight might break out anyway. On the other hand, if Li Du did not stop him, how could the six mine bosses respect him if he could not even control his workers?
Li Du touched his chin and leaned back in his chair. He looked at the six and said, ”Guys, just give me a moment to say something, will you?”
”Sure.” Wright nodded.
”I think you know why I called you all here. You have encroached on my mine, which is illegal. I want you to stop,” said Li Du.
Kidd, a bearded foreman, said, ”We didn't encroach on your mine. You must be mistaken, man—”
Li Du interrupted him. ”Stop denying it. You are a man. Just admit to what you have done.”
Ulysses said, ”Kidd is right. We didn't invade your mine. I admit that I dug underneath mine 122, but the mine is not yours yet.” After a pause, he continued, ”I swear to God, since you bought this mine, I haven't encroached on your turf.”
Li Du laughed and said, ”If I hadn't had a vibration detector, I would have believed you.” Three days after he had bought the number 122 mine, work had been carried out continuously in the mines around it. Ulysses was lying.
The owners had decided to deny it, but when Li Du mentioned the vibration detector, they couldn't go on lying anymore. The vibration detector could monitor the vibration of a section of earth. Excavating a pit would inevitably produce vibrations, and the device would be able to detect them.
Lennon said, ”Li, you shouldn't get involved in this. Do you think we are doing this for gems? We're doing it for justice.”
”You don't want to stop, do you?” said Li Du. He had already thought of this potential outcome. The number 121 mine dug into the vein, and the gems would be harvested. The mine owners would not stop. When the owners of the number 121 mine saw that gems had been found in the number 122 mine, they would be jealous, and they wouldn't want to stop their encroachment.
”Listen to me, Li, you don't know what's going on here,” Lennon said earnestly. ”We're doing this for the sake of justice. The previous owner, Anderson, bullied our mate, Willy, and Willy is now in prison. We, as his....”
”So you really don't want to stop, right?” Li Du interrupted while smiling.
”Of course we won't stop,” said a grumpy mine owner. ”You can sue us in court!”
Li Du shook his head. ”Why should I sue you? I can fix this on my own.” He looked at Aubrey, who was still standing, and said, ”I'm done. You can have at them. They insulted Marcos.”
This surprised everyone, especially Aubrey. He was stunned and said, ”Huh?”
Li Du said, ”Did you not understand my meaning? They insulted your friend, and whatever choice you make, I support you.”
Several of the miners, including Aubrey, laughed, clenched their fists, and stormed up to the six mine owners.
Godzilla told Li Du, ”Boss, negotiation does not work like that.”
