1108.Ivory Map (2/5)
Hans had to thank Luo Skirt for her smile, and Li Du felt a lot of things from her sudden bright smile, including the friendship that had to be cherished.
On the same day, Li Du fished Hans out, paid bail, and took him out of the police station.
Hans gave him an exaggerated hug: "Haha, brother, I knew you were a hard-mouthed bastard, but it still made me feel bad that you didn't protect me at the time." β
Li Du glanced at him and said, "Remember this lesson, don't go on a horse to mess around in the future, honestly find a woman, and prepare to spend your life together, okay?"
Hans smiled, and then looked at him, apparently he had no such thoughts.
Li Du doesn't care about him, the two have different life concepts, Hans is happy in time, there is wine today and drunk today, Li Du hopes to find a lover, respect each other, and spend a lifetime together.
If this lover wasn't Sophie, he might actually like the Luo skirt.
Luo Skirt is stubborn, sensitive, stubborn, and hot-tempered, she has several shortcomings, but she also has more advantages, this is a girl who can be relied on for a lifetime.
However, there is no fate between them after all, but they have become better friends.
Li Du knew that she was going to Siberia, so he didn't want to let her go by herself, otherwise it would be a life-or-death trip.
He is more hesitant now, Luo Skirt is right, he is not alone, he has parents and a fiancΓ©e, if he wants to go to Siberia for an adventure, he has to consider these people.
Siberia is not as good as Australia and Africa, Australia is a country governed by the rule of law, a prosperous country, and it is safe to go there.
The danger in Africa is law and order, and if it weren't for the fact that someone coveted Li Du's wealth and status, his safety would not be a problem.
Siberia is not only a poor security, but also a poor environment, and the biggest enemy of going there is not people, but a pristine wilderness.
Li Du sat on the sofa holding a cowhide map, frowning and pondering the matter.
This map, which he had previously recovered from a prison in Miami, described some hidden treasure spots, mammoth tusks, in Siberia.
Just as there are black gold abalone fishermen in Australia, Siberia has a unique profession of ivory diggers, who search for mammoth tusks that go deep into the ground like minerals and dig them out to make money.
A mammoth ivory is worth tens of thousands of dollars, which is nothing to him, but to ordinary people, it is a huge fortune.
When he got the map, he didn't care, he didn't think he needed it.
For him, who owns a diamond mine and is about to own an Opal Island, these tens of thousands of tusks are worthless, and they are not worth the risk for them.
But if he had to help Luo Skirt go to Siberia to find the murderer, then the map would be useful.
It's not interesting to go to Siberia specifically for mammoth tusks, but if you want to pick up the grass and beat rabbits, then it's more interesting to dig up these tusks by the way.
Li Du has not yet decided on this, the important thing at present is that his parents are coming, and he has to entertain his parents first.
Li's father and mother came to Los Angeles at the end of November, and Li Du took Sophie to pick them up, and when Sophie's parents learned the news, they also set off from Flagpole City to Los Angeles to welcome them.
Seeing the huge momentum of Sophie's family, Li Du wanted to change his mind: "Otherwise, I'll go over by myself and take them to Phoenix, and you can just wait at Phoenix Airport." β
Sophie was busy touching up her makeup, she attached great importance to this first meeting, and specially prepared a new outfit for this purpose, the jacket was a royal blue silhouette coat, with a slim shape, showing her slender figure to the fullest.
With her coat, she wore white sweatpants and white canvas shoes, walked in a winter sports style, and tied her hair into a single ponytail, so that she looked vibrant and sassy.
After a little powder to make herself look more energetic, Sophie nodded in satisfaction.
Li Du said: "That's it, right?"
"No, I nodded because I thought the pastel was pretty good. Sophie looked back and smiled brightly.
Li Du rolled his eyes and said, "You don't need to wear makeup, you are naturally beautiful and difficult to give up, you are clear water out of hibiscus, natural carving." β
Sophie said: "Come on, come on, I see how many ancient poems you can still relate." β
Li Du stiffened his neck and said, "Okay, let you take a look at my literary talent." β
Then he ran out of words.
Sophie grinned and beckoned, "Let's go, the ugly daughter-in-law wants to see her in-laws." β
She is very gifted in languages, studious, and now speaks Chinese very well.
The reason why she is so enthusiastic about Chinese is not only to communicate with Li's father and Li's mother, but more importantly, she has discovered the beauty of Chinese poetry.
Her love for art was the main reason why she worked hard to learn Chinese, and after she came into contact with Tang and Song poetry, she was impressed by the mood and ideas in the poems.
Li Du said: "This is too troublesome, right?"
Sophie laughed and said, "What's there? Los Angeles is the representative city of the West Coast of the United States, and I think my uncle and aunt will love it." β
"You can call Mom and Dad. Li Du said.
Sophie shrugged and said, "Okay, then call Mom and Dad." β
She knew that Li Du called his parents to the United States this time, that is, he was ready to get engaged.
Li Du drove a Rolls-Royce, and there were still skeletons sprayed on the body, and Sophie said, "Will it scare your parents?"
These words made Li Du smile: "My parents used to farm, and there were many skeletons on the pesticide bottles, so they were not afraid of this." β
"I'm talking about cars. Sophie said seriously, "Didn't you tell them that you were just doing projects with your mentor in the United States, and you could afford to drive a Rolls-Royce by doing projects with your mentor?"
Li Du touched his chin, which was true: "It's okay, I told my parents that my mentor is your parents, so I said that this is a reward given to me by my father-in-law." β
Sophie giggled and said, "I don't understand you, why are you so powerful in the United States and making so much money, but you have to worry about your parents knowing?"
Li Du sighed: "Two cultures, they are not worried that I make too much money, but that I make too much." β
Parents know their children best, and his parents know very well how much Li Du has ability.
If Li Du earns one million a year, his parents can accept it, but if he suddenly earns hundreds of millions, his parents will be frightened.
After all, they have worked hard all their lives, and they have not saved a tenth of a million dollars!
Rolls-Royce rushed all the way to Los Angeles, and Li Du sat in the spacious workshop and took out a bunch of materials, which were sorted out by Brother Wolf, and they were all about his comrades.
Li Du was ready to expand the bodyguard team, and Brother Wolf found him six people, all of whom were his most trusted comrades-in-arms when he served.
Five of the six are Germanic men, and one is more special, a mixed-race child, with a strong Chinese ancestry, and of course, a big man.
