Chapter 872 Trap inside a Trap (1/2)
There were many things the government had reserved, and these things filled 120 warehouses, both large and small. Li Du spent a whole day looking around.
There were too many warehouses and not enough time. He couldn't use the little bug's ability to turn back time indefinitely, so he had to take a quick look and couldn't be in control of the whole situation. Even so, after looking around, he thought the situation was quite optimistic. There were several warehouses that were very good, and he could earn a lot if he bid on them.
On July 1st, he spent half a day in his hotel, and then after lunch, he drove with Hans to the seat of the state capital to attend the conference.
Arizona's budget deficit was a bit high, and the state was probably in a hurry to take every opportunity to make money. They looked upon this auction as such an opportunity and invited many media outlets to cover it.
In the parking lot, a lot of cars had TV station logos on them. Hans read them off to Li Du, ”U.S. News & World Report, Phoenix Cable Television, Arizona Brothers Television, Arizona Broadcasting…. There's a lot of media here.”
”More than when we saved a child from abduction in Tasmania. Don't be nervous. Go in, and remember, we are the stars of the show,” said Li Du.
Hans said, ”Nervous? Why would I, Big Fox, be nervous? This is exciting. I finally get my wish.”
”What wish?”
”When I was in Los Angeles, I was at a government auction in California, and I watched the press conference. I've been waiting for the day where I would be the star of the press conference,” Hans said cheerfully.
As he spoke, he searched for a parking space. Because there was a press conference that day, there were more people and cars, and the parking lot was mostly full. Hans drove around in the parking lot and, seeing a Range Rover ready to leave, he drove into the lane to get the spot.
When the Range Rover left the parking space, Hans stepped on the gas and tried to get in. At the same time, the Range Rover suddenly reversed. As Hans was driving in, the car reversed again, causing the two vehicles to hit each other with a loud bang. It had happened so fast.
Li Du got hit on passenger's side and skidded forward. Fortunately, he was wearing a seat belt. Otherwise, he would have been thrown forward. On the whole, the accident was not serious. Everyone was ok, and only the two cars were damaged.
Hans had borrowed the car from Bedes, and the accident happened within half an hour of Hans taking the keys. Naturally, he was depressed and angry. How would he explain this to Bedes?
In particular, the accident was not his fault. The responsibility was actually the other car's, as they had already left the parking space. Even if the owner of the other car had changed his mind and wanted to drive back into the parking space, it should have been done slowly, not so abruptly that Hans had no time to react.
Hans jumped out of the car discontentedly and roared, ”Hey, what's the matter?”
The man in the Range Rover was even more fierce and shouted even more loudly, ”Hey, stupid, what do you want to do? Want to crash and kill us?”
Seeing who the man was, Li Du understood in a split second what was going on. The owner of the Range Rover was none other than Princeps, the boss of the Tucson gang, whom they had just clashed with two days ago.
Today's car accident was not Hans' fault. The other party had set a trap for them. They must have deliberately driven backward quickly so that the two cars collided.
