Chapter 1362 Chapter 1362 – A Change in Friendship (1/2)
Li Du had been to Tucson countless times. The first time he arrived, he found the place interesting and novel. By now, he felt that there was nothing in the town to be curious about.
It was especially so now that he had traveled around the world, been to both the Arctic and Antarctica, dived in Australia, and toured through Siberia. A small place like Tucson was nothing to him now.
The car went around the city as Lu Guan was trying to figure out where they would stay.
Li Du said, ”Next time you should find a hotel beforehand. It should be special, the best this place can offer. As for the price, don't worry about it…”
Lu Guan looked up. ”Boss, I'm not looking for a hotel. I'm trying to connect to someone.”
”Who?”
Lu Guan said, ”Many of our buddies from Flagstaff and Phoenix are also here to join the auction. Aren't we going to stay with them?”
Li Du had not thought about that. It has been some time since he has been away. He had forgotten about Big Beard Carl, Dickens, Reeves and the rest.
Perhaps one would be unable to find another treasure-hunting king as unreliable as he was. The treasure hunters from Flagstaff and Phoenix saw him as their leader but he had not even brought them to attend the auction.
Li Du rubbed his nose and said, ”You're right. I had better hang out with them, contact them.”
”I already did,” Lu Guan smiled, ”They are staying in Titan Missile hotel. We can go there directly.”
Li Du thought for a while and said, ”When we arrive, check if their rooms have been paid for. If not, go and pay for them. If they have, let's pay for their meals for the two days they will be in Tucson.”
Lu Guan gave him a thumbs up. ”Boss, you're so cool!”
Li Du was about to give himself some praise too when a call from an unknown number came through.
Seeing the number, Li Du strained his memory but did not recall it. It was not a number he was familiar with. In fact, it was not a regular phone number at all.
Li Du picked up the phone and said, ”Hi, who is this? If you're promoting something I'd suggest that you hang up now. At least you'll be able to save on your phone bill.”
”It's me, old mate, Tang Chaoyang,” someone said in Mandarin.
Li Du said awkwardly, ”Oh, oh, Brother Tang, hi. Sorry, sorry, this number looked strange. I thought it was a phone call from a bot.”
The other party hesitated and said, ”Brother Tang… hmm… we are related?”
Li Du did not know how to react. ”No, we're not, as far as I know. Your last name is Tang, so I addressed you as Brother Tang…”
Tang Chaoyang said, ”Oh, I see. I thought I had forgotten that we were relatives.”
Li Du burst out laughing. He felt that Tang Chaoyang was cracking a joke.
However, Tang Chaoyang elaborated further to explain. ”In the past, I got into some situations that left me suffering from mild amnesia. I can't remember some things very well now. So when you addressed me that way just now, I misunderstood.”
Li Du was shocked. ”You have amnesia? What happened?”
Tang Chaoyang said, ”It's complicated. It's not like I completely lost my memories. I forget some things, however. Okay, long story short, I'm calling to apologize to you.”
Li Du did not understand. ”Apologize? What for?”
