Chapter 1605 For Your Own Good (1/2)

Li Du could tell, even just with one glance, that they were here to stir up trouble.

He had too much experience in this aspect. In the past two years, he had seen all sorts of things in the business of storage house auctions. To think that someone would actually take it upon themselves to pick a fight with him today!

The stranger who had bumped into him was a heavily bearded white man, behind whom trailed two others: another white man who seemed like he could not care less about what was going on, and an expressionless South American. Li Du remembered them — these people had been with Stein and Gasol earlier before they boarded the ship.

Li Du turned to look at them, then cut straight to the chase. ”You're here to cause trouble, aren't you?”

Big Beard was a little taken aback by Li Du's words, but he smiled immediately. ”Hey, that's quite the temper you have, man. I just bumped into you accidentally, that's all.”

Li Du waved his hands as he spoke. ”Get out of here.”

The other white man walked up, pointing at him as he said, ”F*ck you, Chinaman. I'm going to bust your f*cking *ss, you damned chink, you arrogant son of a b*tch!”

Li Du's face hardened. The three of them were definitely here to pick a fight with him.

He stretched his arm to point at the man who had been cursing at him, first to make a thumbs-up sign, then turning his wrist to point his thumb down.

Before the man could even begin to retaliate in another wave of curses, Brother Wolf suddenly barged in like a whirlwind. He lifted himself off the ground to deliver a sidekick.

A dull thud rang out as the man was sent flying like a sandbag. He landed heavily onto the ground and cried out in pain, ”F*ck, f*ck, ow, ow! God, help me!”

Li Du sauntered over leisurely at the sound of his screaming. He stared down at the man and said, ”Well? Go on, pal, run that foul mouth of yours and keep the curses coming.”

Big Beard and the South American were instantly enraged. They rolled up their sleeves, looking like they were going to charge.

Brother Wolf stared at them coldly and said, ”Would you believe me if I said that you'd be eating liquid food for the rest of your lives if I kicked your jaw with this leg of mine?”

The two men were terrified and swerved immediately to help up the man instead. Big Beard turned and hollered, ”Security! Security! Help!”

The South American threatened angrily, ”We'll be back with more men!”

They were all senior members of the Million Dollar Club. Though they had no personal bodyguards by their sides, the porters they hired were all massive and strong and could easily double as bodyguards.

Though that might be so, porters were still not actual bodyguards when all was said and done, so they would not be able to fight like real bodyguards could.

The insurance company was unprofessional concerning the organization of this storage auction. The cargo ship was a huge one and there were not enough security men on board given its size. As such, the response was slow and nobody came in to maintain order.

A few treasure hunters did come in to join in the commotion, though. Big Beard chose to play dirty. He pointed to Li Du and shouted, ”This Chinese man, he's gone too far! The bastard's stirring—”

”All I did was bump into him accidentally, damn it! I bumped into him and he started cursing at me, so my friend tried to get even for me but he ended up getting kicked! He was kicked!”

As he spoke, he took out his phone. He hit 'play' on an audio file the moment he stopped talking, and a recording started playing.

The recording taped the conversation he had with Li Du, but the other white man's voice was absent in this clip. It was obvious that this was a premeditated operation to frame someone, and their target was Li Du.

Security finally came in, though a little late. The three men perked up at the sight of the security staff.

They acted like a bunch of shrews when they were dealing with Li Du but immediately started playing the victim in front of the security guards. ”How dare you take such a long time to get here? If we had run into a violent maniac we would have been pummeled to death a long time ago!”

”Who's the person in charge of you guys? Bring your manager over; I want to speak to them!”

”The truth is out and everyone here saw what happened. The proof is right here. I'll cut straight to the chase — handle this according to the operating procedure!”
