Chapter 1216 Retrea (2/2)

Having gotten the information he came to obtain, he did not linger. He took his men and left.

Eagle Beak Blade's words, it turned out, were not an empty threat.

The next day, while they were packing up the warehouse, Bill, the president of the Arizona warehousing and treasure hunter association, called and asked, ”Li, are you in Henderson?”

”Yes.”

”Did you violate the rules and entered the warehouse before the auction?”

Li Du said, ”You are correct.”

Bill laughed. ”You're so calm. I guess you knew this would happen. Someone sent me a complaint about this, and the matter is not easy to deal with…”

”You don't have to deal with it. According to the regulations, I can't attend any auctions for the next month, right?” said Li Du.

Bill cautiously said, ”Yes.”

”Well, I'm not going to,” said Li Du. ”I'm not going to be in America for the next month.”

Bill hesitated. ”You don't have to do that. If you send an application, I could help you settle this complaint.”

Li Du shook his head. ”Thanks, Bill. This has nothing to do with the complaint. I'm going back to my hometown for our Spring Festival. And just in time, since I need more than a month for this trip.”

Seeing that Li Du had made up his mind, Bill said regretfully, ”Well, okay.”

He had wanted to return Li Du a favor and regretted that he could not do so at the time.

Leave Hans to clear up the warehouse, Li Du decided to take Sophie with him and get out of town first.

This was Eagle Beak Blade's territory, after all, and he made the guy lose millions. He thought it would be better to leave early in case Eagle Beak Blade could not contain his anger and did something worse. Li Du was not afraid for himself, but there was also Sophie.

He had to protect Sophie.

The contents of the four warehouses were easy to deal with. Hans could sort them out on his own. He didn't need Li Du to help him. It would be a waste of time to stay behind.

Back in Phoenix, he had a few leisurely days with his parents, and then about three weeks before the Spring Festival, he took Sophie, The Martins, and his parents home in advance.

Anyway, there was nothing to do in the States anymore.

They were engaged, and their marriage was practically a done deal, so they could take Sophie back for the New Year.

Sophie had been learning Chinese and was curious about some traditional Chinese activities. The Martins had never been to China and were equally interested in the trip.

They were very satisfied with Li Du, their son-in-law.

They belonged to the middle class in the United States, but their income was not high. They could only afford to travel abroad once a year.

Going back home was not a big deal. Li Du bought airplane tickets for the bodyguards so that they could go back to Germany during this time to be with their families.

Brother Wolf and Firecracker went with him to China. Firecracker was a single man, and Brother Wolf's only family was his daughter.

Li Du bought plane tickets for himself as well this time. He did not have much cash left, so he did not book a private jet.

The great plane hummed in the air and, after two stops, his homeland appeared beneath their feet.
