Chapter 1084 Law (1/2)
Li Du had his Rolls-Royce back. However, what made his heart ache now was the skull
that some son of a b*tch had painted on his car!
Fortunately, he had arrived at the carpark soon enough. As Caddy Lent met with
trouble, a few others were eyeing the car. When they reached the parking lot, there
were already a couple of youths hanging around his car, trying to pry open the lock.
Thankfully, Rolls-Royce Phantom had superior protection abilities, so the car lock was
not easy to break. The youths did not want to damage the car, so they had not broken in
through the windshield.
After they got out of their car, Brother Wolf sent the youths flying with a couple of kicks.
Looking at the skull painted on the car, Li Du felt pained. He stared at the group of
youths and asked, ”Who did this?”
They all shook their heads.
Brother Wolf rubbed his fists and then reached out to crack someone's shoulder joint.
Shrilling screams rang out for some time.
The youngsters were in bad luck. They really had no idea who painted the skull.
However, as they did not want to suffer more punishments, they admitted that they had
done it. One by one, they shouted their confessions.
Knowing that they just owned up to avoid more beatings, Li Du did not want to mess
with them further and waved them off, telling them to scram.
Godzilla had not yet had a chance to unleash his anger at being thrown into prison.
Glaring at the youths, he asked, ”Letting them off just like that? Not going to break their
bones?”
Hearing those words, the youngsters staggered up and then ran away at top speed.
Although they had been unlucky to be sent to prison during their trip to Miami, Li Du had
managed to gain from the excursion as well. All he gained could still be considered as a
good harvest.
The accumulated value of the comics, graffiti, cash and the two luxury cars added up to
tens of millions. Besides, he had managed to get a bunch of items from the prison
warehouse, which helped the little bug to gain a large amount of Time Capability.
All in all, Li Du felt that the trip was worthwhile.
His only regret was that he now owed many people favors, including Porter, Cole, Steve
and also the mysterious Tang Chaoyang.
Their situation resolved very simply. They had gotten support from the beginning right to
the end. Porter used his connections with the top-ranking officials in Miami, Steve
engaged the help of the media and Cole contacted the major businessmen in Florida.
In addition, the Ministry of Justice and Homeland Security Agency had played a huge
role, as did the FBI, which carried out the investigations with vigor. Bartley Jones was
sentenced accordingly and promptly sent to prison.
Why had those agencies helped them so much? Li Du assumed that the embassy had
urged them to. However, after the embassy called to check in with Li Du, and after he
pried into their motives, he realized that that was not the reason.
At the very end, he could only think of Tang Chaoyang. Tang had also called Li Du up to
ask about his situation. Then, Tang had told him that someone would throw Jones into
prison and make sure he suffers.
Assuming that Tang Chaoyang has not been putting up a front, Li Du could only arrive
at the conclusion that Tang was the one who helped with the agencies.
The Ministry of Justice was biased in their favor. It was a fact that Brother Wolf had
made a shot in public and should have been sentenced to at least some time in prison.
However, it seemed like the FBI investigation team had forgotten about that. They had
not pursued the offense or appeared to give it a second thought.
That was miraculous because Li Du knew that the Chinese did not have much power in
America and were not highly respected. In the past, he had heard about court
proceedings being unfair to the Chinese.
However, this time, a Chinese like him had clearly been the subject of favoritism.
Instead, the top-ranked, powerful police official had met with trouble.
Seeing favoritism towards himself felt refreshing.
Within a week, the FBI closed the case and Li Du and his group were allowed to leave
for Phoenix.
