Li Du left the prison, and Porter took them directly to his villa.
On the way, Hans bought some newspapers and opened them. The headlines were all about the case.
The case was labeled as shady and had become a scandal in the American judicial system.
Bartley Jones was unlucky and had been suspended for investigation. Li Du and the others were not allowed to leave Miami for a week and had to cooperate with the FBI's investigation.
Li Du was not in a hurry to leave. He went back to the villa to take a hot bath and change his clothes. He wanted to thank Porter with Sophie.
Porter waved his hand in a low-key manner and said, "My friends and I did not do much in this matter. The Vanderbilts were very active. Do you have anything to do with them?"
"I have a good friend named Steve Tussenberg," said Li Du. "He should have something to do with the Vanderbilts."
Porter laughed. "Mr. Steel, right? Steve Tussenberg, he is one of the few men in the new generation of the Vanderbilts. No wonder. "
Li Du was curious. "Mr. Steel? Is that his nickname? I don't know much about it. I only know that he sometimes calls himself Steel Steve. "
Li Du had expected that the Vanderbilts had contributed a lot. He and Porter were business partners and had helped him chase girls.
But he had saved Steve Tussenberg's life twice, and both times he had almost saved his life. The two of them had been through life and death together.
Porter explained to him, "Steve has been in poor health since he was a child, but his family has produced many excellent adventurers. There is no doubt that adventurers need excellent physical fitness, which makes him very distressed. Perhaps to comfort himself mentally, he likes to call himself Mr. Steel since he was a child. "
Li Du knew that the Vanderbilts were a large family in the transportation industry. He did not expect that the family was most famous for producing many adventurers.
He called Steve to thank him. Steve said, "It's what friends should do. I should have gone to Miami to help you. But I had to mobilize the power of the media. I asked Mr. Newhouse for help in this regard, and I am still a guest in Mr. Newhouse's house. "
No wonder the media had spoken so quickly about this matter. It turned out that the head of the American media empire had given the order.
The concentration of monopoly capital in the United States had reached an alarming level. This rapid concentration not only appeared in the high-profit emerging industries, banking and finance, but also in the newspaper and media industries.
Currently, there were 1,548 cities in the United States that published daily newspapers. However, there were only 182 cities that published more than two daily newspapers. Among them, there were even fewer than 40 cities that published daily newspapers of different newspaper systems.
Because there were almost no national daily newspapers in the United States, each newspaper had their own distribution business, and their coverage was limited. Therefore, residents of small and medium-sized cities could only read the local newspapers controlled by a certain group.
Therefore, the so-called freedom of the press was the freedom of the media monopoly organizations.
This was the territory of the Newhouse Family. This family was very mysterious. They were in the media and publicity business, so they knew how to protect their own confidential information.
It was rumored that the Newhouse family controlled a third of the newspaper industry and a large number of media companies in the United States. However, they had always kept themselves away from the public. The inside story of the family was never made public, and they almost never accepted interviews from the media.
Unlike the Vanderbilts, the Newhouse Family and the Potter Family operated in the same way. They refused to allow their businesses to be issued to the public. They had always maintained the organizational structure of the family business, so outsiders had no way of knowing their financial status.
Li Du thanked the mysterious Mr. Newhouse on his behalf. He told Steve that he would personally pay him a visit to express his gratitude when he had the chance.
After resting at the villa for two days, Li Du could not stay idle. When he was questioned by the FBI officials, he also asked about Caddy Lent's whereabouts.
This matter had been started by Caddy Lent, but it had nothing to do with him now.
The problem in the case was that Bartley Jones had violated the law by sending people to prison without a trial. Caddy Lent had no problem in calling the police and arresting Li Du and the other three.
However, Caddy Lent was also in trouble. His trouble was that in the video that Li Du had released, he had arrogantly expressed his contempt for the lower-class citizens.
Most of the people on the streets were low-class citizens. When they saw the video, they were furious. Some of the gangsters wanted to take the opportunity to cause trouble for Caddy Lent.
The FBI would not tell Li Du the answer, saying that they did not know Caddy Lent's location.
Li Du did not ask any more questions. He had other ways to find out.
He transferred half a million dollars to Michael Reed. After the transfer was successful, he called to inquire about it.
The account that Reed had given him was his wife's. He had already received the money and thanked Li Du profusely. He said that he was ready to quit his job and use the money to open a restaurant.
Li Du said, "Help me find out more information. I will give you another fifty thousand dollars. Find out where Caddy Lent is."
Reed said awkwardly, "I am just a prison guard. Sorry, Mr. Li …"
Li Du said, "I will give you another hundred thousand dollars. With this money, you can renovate the restaurant in a grand manner."
Although he was just a prison guard, Li Du believed that he had a close relationship with the police department. It would not be difficult to find out where Caddy Lent was.
Sure enough, the price went up. Reed was tempted. He said he would give it a try, but half an hour later, he sent him an address, telling him that Caddy Lent was staying there.
Li Du looked at the address and smiled. This was one of the few places he was familiar with in Miami: Mr. Bicycle Storage Company in Wynwood.
He took Brother Wolf and Godzilla with him. The three of them drove Porter's Cadillac to look for Caddy Lent.
The Ferrari T and the Rolls-Royce had been driven away by Caddy Lent. Li Du had to find him to get the cars back.
Caddy Lent hid in the storage company. He was determined to close the door and lock it. From the outside, no one could tell that there was someone living inside.
Unfortunately, he ran into Li Du. Li Du used the little bug to search the storage units. Soon, he found Caddy Lent in one of the units.
A crafty rabbit has three burrows. Caddy had prepared this storage unit a long time ago. He had even remodeled it. There was a skylight on the roof so that it would not be suffocating or too dark.
The unit was even wired. At this time, he was playing games inside. It seemed that he was not affected by the storm of public opinion.
After finding the unit, Li Du used the little bug to absorb the time energy in the lock.
When the lock was broken, he went over and opened the door. Looking at Caddy inside, he smiled and said, "Hello, Master Lent."
Caddy Brent was dumbfounded.
