Chapter 884 Close to the Truth (1/2)

Upon returning to the camp, Sophie found Li Du in a low mood. She hugged him and asked, ”What's the matter?”

Li Du told her about Tomasson. ”I went looking for him and wanted to say goodbye. I didn't even get a chance to say goodbye to him.”

Li Du had eaten almost all the vegetables, grain, and fruit that Tomasson had supplied to the camp in exchange for horses and carriages. There was more than business between the two men; there was friendship.

Sophie patted him on the back and whispered, ”That's all right, dear. We'll go to Los Angeles, and you can visit his wife.” Tomasson was no longer alive, so they would never meet again. Li Du could only go to see Tomasson's wife.

Perhaps, from time to time, he would be reminded of that sunny morning when a man in a black suit and white shirt politely took off his hat and asked him, ”Do you want to rent the vacant lot? We'll be neighbors.”

Ah Meow also felt Li Du's depression and ran to rub his head against his shin. However, as Ah Meow was doing so, Ali shook its big tail and hit him. Ah Meow was upset and jumped to scratch Ali, but Ali was very clever. It jumped up onto Ah Ow's body. Thus, Ah Meow accidentally pounced on Ah Ow and scratched her.

Ah Ow turned around and bared her teeth to scare him, but Ah Meow agilely ran away. Ah Ow could not catch up, so she took out her frustration on Crispy Noodles and kicked him. Crispy Noodles was stunned. D*mn, what the hell is going on?

The four small kids were making chaos!

However, their energy cheered Li Du up. Otherwise, they would have been in big trouble!

Later, Li Du stopped at the supermarket to buy some meat and seafood. He made stir-fried meat including chicken and roast turkey pieces with horseradish and garlic sauce, respectively. But because of Tomasson, Li Du had no appetite. He had a quick meal and drove Sophie home in his car. Then, he went to the pine canopy community and returned to Luo Qun's house.

As Li Du expected, when he opened the door, he was greeted by a chaotic environment. Without anyone to clean house, Luo Qun had become lazy, and the house was in chaos. Li Du saw clothes and garbage everywhere, and repeatedly shook his head.

Fortunately, his room had been kept very neat, as Luo Qun respected Li Du and had left it alone. Li Du had to thank Luo Qun for this. He had only rented for a year, and he had not renewed his lease. Once his lease was up, according to their agreement and the law, Luo Qun could have packed up Li Du's things and then rented out the house to someone else.

Li Du put the documents from warehouse number ten on the living room table and took a bath. As he dried himself, a grunt sounded outside. Then, the door was opened, and Luo Qun's voice was heard. ”Shut up, stupid wolf. If you howl again, I'll kill you!”

Ah Ow's voice broke in a pitiful howl.

Li Du stuck his head out and asked, ”Hey, are you off duty?”

Luo Qun did not answer. She took off her shoes and stepped into the living room. After putting down the food in her hands, she threw herself onto the tidy sofa and felt relieved.

Li Du said discontentedly, ”What, don't you have any reaction to seeing me? What does it mean not to answer?”

Luo Qun still didn't talk. She took out her mobile phone and started looking at it.

Li Du said, ”Didn't you hear me? Why are you so rude?”

Finally, Luo Qun opened her mouth. She looked at Li Du and said in a gloomy tone, ”I have no manners? Who left for half a year? If I was not a policewoman, I would have called the police to find you!”
