Li Du's heart juht that The President's Umbrella had realized his plan But that was near impossible He only made the plan up on the spot, how could The President's Uuessed it?
He wore a confused expression, asking, ”What are you saying?”
The President's Ule facialone”
”Then we'll go with that?” Hans asked
The President's Uuys take the four, and the rest is mine”
Hans looked at Li Du This reaction showed the power dynamic between the two parties
Li Du said, ”Sure, we'll choose first The real ones and the fake ones have already been mixed up Even the fakes should be worth at least a few thousand There is still a good profit to be made”
”Then may God bless you”
The President's Uht the clocks and boxes into the storage unit He started inspecting, then signaled the two to enter and choose
Although he felt so was off, this seemed like the best solution, and he felt that this was still a reliable way to get the real clocks Everyone was betting on their luck; they would see whom Lady Luck smiled most favorably upon
A pity for The President's U to pick based on luck, as he wasn't so, and carefully observed where it went
Since the auction at the hotel, he realized that the bug had a skill he was unaware of: When choosing antiques, it would pick the oldest one in sight
Without betraying his expectations, when the bug flew out it went directly to center of the nine boxes; the bug then burrowed into a box and landed on the antique clock inside to absorb the time
Li Du hastily recalled it He pointed to the center box ”We'll pick this one”
Repeating this, the bug once again flew to the outermost left box without any hesitation
When it burrowed into the clock, he once again recalled the bug ”That one too, on the left”
After releasing the bug, it flew around the re boxes, much less interested as co a round, it flew back to Li Du's shoulder
Li Du was relieved The re clocks were all the replicas They were not antiques The bug was not even interested in absorbing their ti two other boxes, he said, ”We'll take these four Hopefully so boxes and the cow hides?” Hans said
”We'll take half of them The cow hides, we'll take half too” Li Du said
He wanted to leave all of them for The President's U the antiques, but when he was about to say this, he re: ”One who is unaccountably solicitous is hiding evil intentions”
If he waited until The President's Umbrella appraised the clocks, found out all five were replicas, and then contact hiive up the cow hides, would he still suspect him?
To keep his secret safe, he decided to act accordingly to how a normal person would, which would be fair and professional
With the four clocks and half of the heavy rolls of cow hides, there were over twenty boxes altogether With that, they started the journey hoht here?” Li Du asked
Hans shook his head ”Jerome has too many bandits and thieves If they know that we've acquired some antique clocks, they would probably start trouble with us”
”They're that obnoxious?”
