Chapter 1601: Throwing Coffee

One could say he was trying to surprise the enemy!

Their caution taught him that the moment the other party had discovered him, they would start asking about him to protect themselves. The moment someone told them he was from Flagstaff…

He believed that they were smart enough to connect the dots. Once someone told them he was from Flagstaff, they would be able to make the connection between him and the National College of Flagstaff.

Li Du could not let that happen. He had to uncover the reason they were at this auction; he had to deal with these two cheats.

As such, he had to make them less cautious.

The boiling hot coffee hit Stein right on — it was his fault for being the mastermind. Initially, at the postgraduate entrance ceremony, Li Du had been completely and utterly tricked by his honest face.

If not for the little bug, his life would really have been ruined by those two.

Moreover, Li Du might have been saved by the little bug, but what about his other classmates who were also scammed? They were undeniably the ones who had lost the most because of these frauds!

Stein cried out in anguish when the coffee hit him, “Ah, f*ck!”

Gasol rushed from beside him to hand him a handkerchief. At the same time, he hollered at Li Du, “Hey, what the f*ck are you doing, you bastard?”

Li Du rushed to the two of them and bellowed, “What the f*ck am I doing? I’m going to f*ck you guys up, that’s what! You hoodlums!”

The crowd around them stared at the scene in shock. Luo Qun had no idea what Li Du was up to and she could not wrap her head around this at the moment, but she had enough presence of mind to hurry over to hold Li Du back.

She wrapped her hands around his arms. If he were not actually trying to start anything, he would play along and pretend to be held back by her. If he were really trying to instigate a fight, then she would follow along and back him up.

Luo Qun was not someone to be underestimated. Being a woman, she invested a great deal of effort to improve at fighting for the sake of revenge and was not far from the level of a professional athlete.

She made the right move. Li Du, who was the picture of rage, stopped moving the moment she tugged him back by the arms. He pretended as if he was struggling in her grip but made no effort to actually charge forward.

“Your name is Rehan Abel, no? You’re Rehan Abel! Let go of me, I’m gonna beat this piece of trash up! You trash, you played with Tasha, you played with her when she was on vacation at Cayo Largo del Sur!”

Cayo Largo del Sur was a popular tourist spot. It was on the eastern part of Isla de la Juventud and was famous for having the cleanest and clearest seawater in the entire world. Aside from the water, the place also boasted an extremely scenic and picturesque landscape as well as the Playa Paraiso Beach.

The Playa Paraiso Beach was a romantic place that basked in sunlight. Naked sunbathing was popular there and attractive ladies were a common sight. The place had a wild nightlife, but whether it was day or night, the place was always full of life.

Rehan Abel was the alias Stein used when he had been living in Cuba. When Luo Qun first told Li Du about it, he took note of that name.

He also paid attention to what Luo Qun told him about their life there. The two of them absconded with all that money to Cayo Largo del Sur to indulge in hedonistic pleasures. They would go to Playa Paraiso Beach during the day and spend their nights in hotels.

During that period of time, the pair was involved with plenty of women, so many that Luo Qun had even said that she lost count of the number of hook-ups they had. If Luo Qun, the investigator, did not know how many women they had slept with, there was no way Stein would remember.

Li Du took advantage of this. He pointed at Stein and shouted, “Let go of me, I’m gonna teach this bastard a lesson! This dirtbag tricked her on Playa Paraiso Beach, he played with her!”

Luo Qun more or less understood what Li Du was trying to do, so she played along. She said to him, “Let it go, Li, he’s not worth it. Tasha’s honestly a bit of a b*tch herself. You’ve been with her for such a long time, you know every guy she’s been with says the same thing. You’re the only one who treats her like a goddess!”

Li Du shoved her in an agitated manner and countered, “You’re lying! I’ve been with her in Los Angeles the whole time, for years, nearly a whole decade, and she’s a good girl! I saw the pictures she sent me, it was this scum who tricked her!”

He moved toward Bell and Johnson as he spoke. “We’ve been hustling at Los Angeles together, so you guys know it. Tasha’s a good girl, right?”

Bell and Johnson reacted even quicker. They picked up on his emphasis on the words ‘Los Angeles’ and quickly understood the main point.

Johnson held him back as he said, “Don’t get all worked up, man, there are many nice ladies in Los Angeles. You’ve been in Los Angeles for so long, why are you so hung up over her?”

Bell turned to apologize to Stein. “I’m sorry, sir, my friend’s a bit of a lovesick fool. He’s been hanging around the lady for a few years, you know what I mean, right?”

Stein and Gasol had a guilty conscience so they did not want to be put in the spotlight like this. Li Du managed to pull the wool over their eyes with that scene and the two of them did not think too much about it. Just as Li Du guessed, they had been fooling around too much at the Playa Paraiso Beach.

“Keep your buddy in check, stop him from doing foolish things like this!” Gasol spat out viciously, then dragged Stein to blend in the crowd.

When they walked away, he chided in a low tone, “You idiot, you let someone take a picture of you?”

Stein, who usually seemed gentle and refined, flew into a panic. He responded helplessly, “F*ck, I tried to be as careful as possible, I don’t know who took a picture of me. D*mn, how was I to know we’d run into some b*tch’s lover?”

Speaking of that, Gasol’s face lit up. “This fool’s only pining for that b*tch, I bet they haven’t touched each other with a ten-foot pole. Do you remember her? Tasha?”

Stein hesitated for a moment before replying, “I think I do, that slut had red hair. I gotta say, she was really good in bed…”

Li Du let the little bug out to spy on the pair after he was pulled away, and heaved a sigh of relief when he discovered that they were huddled together and gossiping instead of asking around for information on him.

After that, he did not dare to provoke the two of them anymore. The most he would do was glare balefully at them.

The yacht swayed on the sea. After four or five hours, at noon, a huge ship appeared before them.

It was the Korean Trade Group’s Jang Bogo!

There were staff members from the insurance company keeping watch on the ship; otherwise, there would have been fishermen inviting themselves onboard to steal from it. This cargo ship might be nothing much to the Korean Trade Group and the insurance company, but it was a gold mine to the regular person!

There were many cargo containers stacked on the ship like building blocks, so many that it was impossible to count them. The yacht was still some way from the ship so Li Du took out his binoculars and peered into the distance.

The cargo containers stacked on the ship came in all sorts of colors — red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple. Of those colors, orange, white, yellow, and navy blue were the most common ones.

As the yacht came closer, people exclaimed:

“Wow, there are so many cargo containers. What’s in those? I’m going to go all out today!”

“Wow, that’s cool! Pal, I have a feeling that I’m going to be leaving this ship with quite a lot. I’m going to be in the Million Dollar Club!”

“Hmph, what a bunch of rookies. The peak of auctions was back in 2008. F*ck, that was really something else. A French cargo ship with 5000 containers!”

Li Du kept his eye on Stein and Gasol and saw that both of them were staring wide-eyed at the cargo ship.
