Chapter 1601 Especially Jealous (1/2)

Li Du did not recognize all of them. He did recognize two, however, and he knew them all too well.

Saying he knew them well was an understatement, actually. These were men who were essentially carved into his memory, and it felt like Li Du would never forget the two of them for as long as he lived.

Halim Stein and Gordon DK Gasol!

He had seen the two of them more times than he could count but had only observed them from a shorter distance once, which was during the postgraduate entrance ceremony. Halim Stein was the Dean and Gordon DK Gasol was the chairman of the college board of directors, so the two of them welcomed the new postgraduates.

That's right — the two of them were the big bosses of the Diploma Mill. The two of them were those who had taken all of the students' school fees as well as the research funding and ran off with it!

Their appearance was too sudden. Li Du had never thought in his wildest dreams he would meet the two of them here.

He was genuinely surprised by the people he was meeting right there on the ship. First Luo Qun, and now the two people of whom he had been thinking day and night with so much hatred. He was so taken aback that he was at a loss of what to do at this moment.

Just like when he first saw Luo Qun, he rubbed his eyes instinctively. Since he was standing at quite a distance from the two of them, he released the little bug to size them up.

He was right. Though they had changed their hairstyles and shaved off the beards, those were the two leaders of Diploma Mill who had cheated him!

Luo Qun explained in his ear, ”There's no need to rub your eyes, you're not seeing things. Those two are Halim Stein and Gordon DK Gasol. They're cousins who used to manage a private college in Flagstaff called—”

”The National College of Flagstaff!” Li Du spat with his teeth clenched.

Luo Qun nodded. ”Exactly. After illegally obtaining the qualifications to enroll foreign students, they took the chance to amass a fortune. They split their earnings with the board of directors they were working with and ran off with the money.”

”Stein and Gasol ran off to Cuba where they spent three years living in comfort. They stayed in a huge villa, bought luxury sports cars, hooked up with girls, hired bodyguards, the whole deal. Those were great days of hedonism that they enjoyed.

”However, after the Korean trade group declared bankruptcy, they grew anxious. They cut themselves off from the lavish lifestyle and focused their energy on finding a way to return to America. They also got in touch with their contacts just to take part in this auction.”

”You want to guess why they'd go to such lengths?”

Li Du stared at her in shock. ”How do you know all of this, and in such great detail no less? Did you run a check on them?”

Luo Qun hummed. ”You really think I went to Cuba just because I wanted to tour the world?”

Li Du's heart skipped a beat. He asked gently, ”You went there just to look for the two of them? Were you trying to help me get even?”

Luo Qun reached out to smack his forehead and said, ”Enough, stop looking at me like that, you're creeping me out. Aren't you so moved you could cry?”

Li Du chuckled bitterly. ”You're no fun. Of course I'm moved.”
