Chapter 1544: Taking out the gun

Looking at Zhong Dapao, who had a tense expression, Li Du asked earnestly, “What happened? What’s the trouble?”

Zhong Dapao sighed and said, “One of my brothers told me that the King of Hpakant brought his men and is at the hillside. F**k! They have guns!”

There was no need to explain. The King was ready to take them by force.

Liu Zi said angrily, “Damn, why is this dog so arrogant? He took the stones we got, and now he’s trying to stop us? Ha, he’s a fool!”

Zhong Dapao said, “Don’t you know how domineering the Suo family is? The bastard must be angry that we made him lose his reputation and now he wants to teach us a lesson.”

As he said this, he gradually relaxed. “It’s nothing serious, I suppose. I guess he just means to scare us.”

Liu Zi didn’t mind and said, “Even if it is true, we are not afraid. Did this fella forget how we taught their family a lesson? We weren’t even afraid of his grandfather. Why should we be afraid of him?”

Zhong Dapao said, “Well, it wasn’t a big deal. I just came to inform you. This brother of mine said the matter looked very serious. The King threatened to kill us and not let anyone interfere in this matter.”

“Is this person reliable?” asked Li Du.

Zhong Dapao said, “Absolutely, I’d trust him with my life.”

Li Du tapped the motorcycle’s dashboard with his finger and said, “Don’t take it lightly. Let’s not leave for now. Let’s go back and think of a plan.”

Liu Zi said in derision, “It’s fine, Master Li. That coward the King of Hpakant is nobody. At most, he would only scare us, but would he dare to hurt anyone? I’ll give him a punch in the guts!”

Da Mao interrupted, “No way. The King is a local gangster, so how would he be afraid of killing someone?”

Liu Zi said, “It’s not that he has no guts, but this time he has no reason to do it. We just made him lose his reputation. Damn, he even stole our stones. Killing someone because of reputation? Hey, it’s not that I hit this fella…”

“Let’s go back first. I don’t want to take any chances. I’ll tell someone to get something, and then we’ll leave.” interrupted Li Du.

Liu Zi smiled casually. “Hey, no problem, Master Li. We’ve got your back.”

Li Du was not so confident. Liu Zi and Zhong Dapao felt that the King would not kill them, because they thought he was only trying to gain back his reputation.

In fact, both sides had a direct conflict of interest. Li Du had manipulated more than 90 million RMB from the unlucky King of Hpakant, and this was not a small amount of money. Money could trump life in many places!

He believed that the King was going to shoot him and his men. Although the combat strength of his side was not weak, their weapons have been taken by the customs. The King of Hpakant had guns, which meant he was at an advantage against his side.

Back in the field, Li Du continued to check the market’s ore situation.

During the day, everything was normal. At night, when he was out of the field in the dark, he found an abandoned mine outside and hid a batch of weapons from the black hole space inside it.

This black hole space has been partially emptied, and on the next day Li Du again secretly bought a batch of ore. Now the black hole space was stuffed full again.

At noon, Zhong Dapao’s phone rang. He picked it up, took a look and said, “It’s the King.”

Li Du motioned him to answer. As the line was connected, King Hpakant’s arrogant voice sounded from the other side of the line, “Master Pao, since when have you become so cowardly?”

Zhong Dapao sneered, “Are you crazy? What are you talking about? We are making money. Haha, you withdrew too early. We bought many good stones in these few days. It was thanks to your words that we had earned at least 200 million RMB.”

The King was furious. “Very well, now you admit it? Before that, you tricked me, right? All right, all right, you wait! You can hide in Huika, but come out if you dare!

Zhong Dapao said at ease, “Why, do you think we wouldnʼt get out for the rest of our lives? If we don’t enjoy our earnings, what did we make the money for?”

The King said maliciously, “Very well, the Suo family is honest and would not do anything underhanded. I have already sent people to deal with you, and there is nothing you can do. Let me tell you, I will not allow you to leave.”

“Arrogance!” Liu Zi flew into a rage. “Isnʼt it a low blow? Iʼll calls the brothers at home. We depend on this to start up our business, so would I be afraid of him?”

Da Mao rubbed his hands nervously and said, “Master Liu, calm down. He has some relations with the local military police. Be careful, it might be a trap.”

Listening to his words, Li Du realized that it was indeed a possibility. His plan had to be changed.

When Zhong Dapao hung up, Li Du said, “Store the jade and the raw materials here and we’ll leave.”

Zhong Dapao laughed and said, “Hey, Young Master Li, there is no need to be afraid. No one would dare to rob our stones on the mountainside, because this area belongs to Huika. The site provides a guarantee, so if anyone dares to rob the customers as they are leaving, the site will not let them go.”

Li Du thought and felt it had to be true. If the site could not protect the safety and property of their customers in their territory, how many people would dare to buy stones?

“Right, so as I keep saying, that fella is trying to cause trouble. He was certainly there to get us. He would not dare to touch the stones from here. He would not dare to do it even if the government protects him, because this is the law!” added Liu Zi.

Li Du said, “We have to keep in mind that he might do anything if he is provoked. Take me to a place, 114 mine pit. Do you know where it is?”

“Yes, a waste mine. What do you need it for?” Zhong Dapao asked.

Li Du said, “I contacted my friends in the United States yesterday, and they contacted a local gang that was supposed to prepare something for me in the mine.”

Zhong Dapao led the way, and they rode their motorcycles to the abandoned mines.

When they arrived at the mine, Li Du led them down to search, and then Liu Zi found the big bag. “Hey, Young Master Li, here!”

As he tried to open the bag, Li Du quickly went forward, stopped him, and shook his head. “Weʼll wait and see. Let’s try not to use these things.”

Liu Zi was also a soldier and was very familiar with weapons.

Although the weapons were covered, he could feel them through the bag. He said with surprise, “Damn, you are ruthless.”

Li Du smiled and said, “Letʼs go!”

According to his plan, he would ask everyone else to arm themselves as soon as he found the equipment, but after listening to what Da Mao said, he changed his mind.

He did not know whether the King meant to fight them or merely frighten them into preparing firearms and then join forces with the military and police to frame them.

If it was the former, it would be OK to use these weapons. If it was the latter, he would have to throw away some ore in time to transfer the weapons to the black hole space.

Either way, it was better to keep the weapons in his hand.

The motorcycles were on their way, and then, on the road at the foot of the mountain, they came across the Pajero caravan of the King of Hpakant.
