Chapter 1211 77 and 103 (1/2)

Under McRae's urging, Li Du and Hans got into their car and left.

Once they had left, McRae stopped to ponder. Then, he turned back to walk towards number 77. Li Du's earlier words seemed to have revealed some message.

Just as he neared warehouse 77, a bald white man appeared. The man frowned and said, ”McRae, come over. What do you want?”

Seeing him, McRae jumped. He said, ”Ah, Supervisor Wendette, you, you… when did you return? I'm just preparing to check if the warehouses have been locked up safely. Want to make sure there's no issue with the door locks.”

The bald man said, ”No need to check further. There are no problems. Come with me. Just now, someone told me that you brought two men into the warehouse. What's going on?”

McRae jumped in to start explaining, using the excuse he had thought of earlier. ”Those are maintenance workers, Supervisor, if you don't believe me, you can go to the kitchen and ask Old Harley. He brought the two men in with me to do some work…”

Wendette looked at him, suspicious. Then he nodded and said, ”Alright. You better not try anything funny. If something happens, you'll be sorry.”

McRae shook his head. ”No, no, I wouldn't do anything funny.”

The bald man replied, ”Fine, you've knocked off. What else are you doing staying around here? I don't see you being a hard worker on regular days. Go home.”

McRae turned to glance at number 77 for the last time. He smiled sneakily and walked out.

At that time, Li Du's car had not gone far.

Seeing that McRae had left the compound, Li Du nodded and said, ”Driver, let's go back at high speed.”

Seated in the truck, Li Du said, ”There's gold in that warehouse, and also jewelry. Warehouse number 103 definitely has good stuff.”

Hans could not understand. ”How can it be? How would Macy's be so careless? Number 77 has got lots of branded new furniture. And now number 103 has got jewelry? What's up with them?”

Li Du said, ”Who knows? No wonder they are closing down. Their internal management must be a mess. In any case, I definitely saw jewelry. There are diamond necklaces and ruby earrings. I swear, they seem genuine.”

Hans said, ”No wonder those rascals from Eagle Beak Gang wanted to get number 103. There's gold jewelry inside. D*mnit, we have to take that warehouse down, right?”

Li Du nodded. ”Of course. 103 and 77. We must take down those two warehouses. However, are those men you contacted reliable? I hope there will be no problem with the information you got on number 77.”

Hans spoke up confidently, ”Definitely no problem, I swear! I know them from Las Vegas. They still owe me gambling debts and they are definitely keen to make money. The furniture in that warehouse is worth at least five hundred thousand. I promised them two hundred thousand. With this deal, he revealed that piece of information to me.”

Li Du shook his head. ”The warehouse manager we saw just now is really dumb. Did they exchange the information on warehouse 103 for money? They should have looked for a treasure hunter to work with. That warehouse is worth millions!”

”Millions? That much?” Hans was shocked.

Li Du said, ”Yes, the jewelry that I saw fell out from one safety deposit box. There must be more inside. You saw the gold jewelry on the photographs. Think for yourself, wouldn't it be worth millions?”

Hans replied, ”I did not see the gems you mentioned. However, those accessories made of gold, I guess we can sell them for at least two to three hundred thousand. But do you believe that information? What if it's fake?”

Li Du went silent for a while. Then, slowly, he nodded and said, ”There's that possibility. That rascal might be just fooling us. We don't know him well, he is unreliable.”

”How should we deal with warehouse 103?” Hans asked. ”Do we still want to take it down? We might offend the Eagle Beak Gang.”

Li Du said, ”Who gives a damn about those gangsters? Money is the law we follow. Even if there is no gold jewelry, the profits should still be pretty good.”
