Chapter 1078 Trouble (2/2)

He had hoped the officer he had bribed would call Cole, Porter, Steve, and Sophie, who

wouldn't rest until he was released, but after two days without hearing from any of them,

he didn't want to wait any longer.

Of course, there was a mobile phone in his black hole space, but he could not use it. It

was easy to smuggle in a bank card, but more difficult to do that with a mobile phone.

After all, they were carefully examined when they were sent to prison.

”Actually, I'm sure you won't find our files because we were sent in by one of your police

chiefs who bypassed the regular procedure,” said Li Du.

Felister's expression changed slightly and he said, grimly. ”No way. This is my place.”

”But it's true,” Li Du laughed. ”Don't you know about this? You're not involved?”

”Involved in what?” said Felister with a stern look on his face.

His tone became harsh, for if what Li Du said were true, he would be in trouble.

Li Du had feared that Felister and the chief police officer who sent them in worked

together. However, it seemed they did not, which made things easier for him.

He said, ”I offended the police chief's nephew, a kid named Caddy Lent, and then we

were sent to jail without trial or procedure.”

Felister's expression got even darker. ”Don't lie to me or you'll be in trouble, I swear!”

Li Du said, ”If you weren't involved in this matter, quickly think of a way to get us out of

here. I swear that otherwise, you will get in big trouble. There is something else about

me you should know. I am the second biggest shareholder of Harry Winston Group! The

Miami police made a big mistake by messing with me!”

The United States was a capitalist country, and money was the leading force of society.

Li Du bought the equity of the Harry Winston group in large quantities because he

wanted to enter the ruling class.

It was more useful to be a member of the capitalist class than of the communist party.

The American elite was self-sustaining, like a band of officials who all protect each

other.

Felister made a quick phone call and asked for the names of the four new prisoners.

What he heard on the phone made his eyes bulge. He stamped his foot, hung up the

phone and said, ”These bastards! I'll find out who did this damn thing, and I'll kill him!”

Having said that, he pointed at Li Du and his friends and roared to the prison guard,

”Take good care of these four and make sure nothing happens to them!”

Felister apparently forgot all about auctioning the warehouse to make a fortune. He

hurried away as if someone had set a fire under him.

At lunchtime, the prison guard Li Du had contacted earlier approached him, gave him a

friendly handshake and said, ”I'm Michael, Michael Reid. Nice to meet you, Mr. Li.”

Li Du smiled. ”Nice to meet you too, Officer Reid.”

Reid slipped the bank card into his hand and said, ”I've made the calls for you. I want

you to keep your promise. $500,000!”

Delighted, Li Du said, ”Did you make the calls? When?”

”Before I went to work today. I was off work yesterday, and I asked a friend to look up

your information and your phone number, and it turned out that what you said was true,”

said Reid.

After some thought, he added, ”Mr. Li, I hope this will stay just between us, right?

Otherwise, I'll be fired.”
