Chapter 1123 First Sho (1/2)

Li Du did not feel like drinking and so the treasure hunters did not force him to. The

bunch of treasure hunters got out of their car and gathered in front of the alcohol stall.

They filled their cups and started drinking.

The auction would begin the next day, and many treasure hunters had long arrived. It

was because Li Du had wanted to stay with Sophie longer that he had arrived late.

Smuggler warehouse auction was a large-scale event. There were many valuable

things inside. However, the extraordinarily valuable items were few.

Now that Li Du possessed a lot of money, he was no longer uptight about warehouse

auctions. The main reason he was still participating in them was that he wanted to fulfill

Hans's dream of joining the Million Dollar Club.

According to the rules, one had to earn more than a million dollars' worth of profits on

four occasions before being able to qualify for the Million Dollar Club. Li Du and Hans

had already achieved a million dollar profit twice and they needed to do so two more

times to qualify.

Of course, if they counted the time when they had landed their hands on Van Gogh's

original painting, they have achieved a million dollars thrice.

However, that occasion could not be taken into account. They had not retrieved the oil

painting from their warehouse. They had gotten it from the warehouse owner. It was

considered as picking up something that others left behind, and not as loot from a

warehouse auction.

Li Du's goal for this auction was to land his hands on a warehouse worth two million

dollars.

The warehouse to be auctioned this time was considered a state-owned asset. It was

located near the border. Under the lead of Hans, they drove towards the location of the

warehouse.

When the car neared the warehouse, Li Du spotted the familiar figure of Princeps.

Princeps looked worse than before. He had lost his arrogance, wore a gloomy face, and

looked lifeless and weighed down.

Li Du pretended not to see him. However, Hans wanted to tease him and called out to

Princeps, ”Hey, buddy! Long time no see. When did you get out of prison? Heard that

your prostitutes were arrested too?”

Princeps said coolly, ”That's right. Nothing surprising. It's not like the two of you haven't

been arrested. You guys got out fast too.”

Hearing that, Li Du felt that something was not right. He frowned and said, ”What do you

mean?”

Princeps revealed a strange smile and said, ”Haha, the two of you were checking out

the prostitutes at a Korean spa and then the cops arrested you. That was what I was

referring to.”

Hans started to get anxious. Li Du held him back and looked at Princeps. He said, ”No,

we did not go looking for whores. That was a misunderstanding. But how did you know

about that?”

Princeps hummed and avoided his question. He said, ”Haha, you can say what you

want. In any case, I admire the two of you. The two of you messed around with one

chick. You two are really good brothers.”

Li Du continued to stare at him and said, ”You were keeping an eye on us. You were the

one who called the police, right?”

Hans finally realized what must have happened and said, ”Is that so? No wonder, that

Korean bathhouse was a lawful place. Why would the police come knocking on the

door? Our luck could not have been that bad!”

Li Du had also considered himself unlucky. He had just entered the bathhouse when the

policemen came to arrest him for engaging with prostitutes. Now it seemed that it was

no mere chance. The policemen had arrived thanks to a tipoff.

Princeps replied coldly, ”That's right. That was me. Why? Wasn't it thanks to you guys

that I was arrested too?”

Li Du shook his head and kept silent. There was nothing for him to say. They had

violated the law and discipline or, to be exact, Hans had done that. There was nothing

wrong with people reporting.

Seeing that Li Du stayed quiet, Princeps took the opportunity to continue provoking him.

He said, ”How did it feel for you two when you both were messing around with the same

slut? I heard that you got engaged, Li. Did you get engaged to that Korean woman from

that time? Was she that good?”

”You're asking for a beating!” Li Du said calmly.
