Hans had to thank Luo Qun for her smile. Li Du felt a lot of things from her sudden bright smile, including a cherished friendship.
That day, Li Du bailed Hans out, paid the bail, and took him out of the police station.
Hans gave him an exaggerated hug. "Haha, brother, I knew you were a soft-hearted bastard, but you didn't protect me at the time. It still makes me feel bad."
Li Du rolled his eyes at him and said, "Remember this lesson. Don't f * cking mess around in the future. Find a woman and get ready to spend the rest of your life with her, okay?"
Hans laughed and then changed the subject. Obviously, he did not have such a thought.
Li Du ignored him. Their philosophy of life was different. Hans wanted to enjoy life while he could, while Li Du wanted to find a lover, respect each other, and spend the rest of their lives together.
If this lover was not Sophie, he might actually like Luo Qun.
Luo Qun was stubborn, sensitive, stubborn, and hot-tempered. She had some shortcomings, but she also had more strengths. She was a girl he could rely on for a lifetime.
However, there was no fate between them, and they became better friends.
Li Du knew that she was going to Siberia, and he did not want to let her go alone. Otherwise, it would be a dangerous journey.
He was hesitant now. Luo Qun was right. He was not alone. He had parents and a fiancée. If he was going to Siberia, he had to consider these people.
Siberia was not like Australia or Africa. Australia was a country of law and prosperity, and it was safe to go there.
The danger in Africa was security. If it were not for people coveting Li Du's wealth and status, his safety would not be a problem.
Siberia was not only poor security, but the environment was even worse. The biggest enemy there was not people, but the primitive wilderness.
Li Du sat on the sofa, holding a cowhide map, frowning and thinking about it.
He had found the map in the Miami prison. It described some places where the mammoth tusks were hidden, and they were located in Siberia.
Just as there were black gold abalone fishermen in Australia, there was a unique profession in Siberia. They were ivory diggers, who searched for mammoth tusks deep in the ground and dug them out to make money.
A mammoth tusk was worth tens of thousands of dollars, which was nothing to him, but to ordinary people, it was a huge fortune.
When he got the map, he did not think it would be useful.
For him, who owned a diamond mine and was about to own an Opal Island, these ivory tusks, which were worth tens of thousands of dollars each, were not worth the risk.
However, if he had to help Luo Qun find the murderer in Siberia, the map would be useful.
It was not interesting to go to Siberia just for mammoth tusks, but it would be more interesting to dig for the tusks.
Li Du had not decided yet. the important thing was that he had to entertain his parents.
Mr. and Mrs. Li came to Los Angeles at the end of November. Li Du and Sophie went to pick them up. When Sophie's parents heard the news, they also set off for Los Angeles from Flagstaff to welcome them.
Seeing that Sophie's family was making a big fuss, Li Du wanted to change his mind. "How about this? I'll go there myself and take them to Phoenix. You can just wait at the Phoenix airport."
Sophie was busy touching up her makeup. She attached great importance to this first meeting and had specially prepared a new set of clothes for this occasion. Her jacket was a sapphire blue silhouette coat. The design was slim, and it showed off her graceful figure thoroughly.
Paired with the coat were white sweatpants and white canvas shoes. She was dressed in a winter sports style. She tied her hair into a ponytail, which made her look full of vigor and valiance.
Sophie nodded with satisfaction after applying a little powder to make herself look more energetic.
Li Du said, "Is that it?"
"No, I nodded because I think the pastel is not bad." Sophie turned around and smiled brightly.
Li Du rolled his eyes and said, "You don't need to put on makeup. You are a natural beauty. You are a lotus flower in clear water, a natural sculpture."
Sophie said, "Come on, go on. Let me see how many ancient poems you can think of."
Li Du straightened his neck and said, "Okay, I'll show you my literary talent."
Then he ran out of words.
Sophie giggled and waved. "Let's go. The ugly daughter-in-law is going to see her in-laws."
She had a talent for languages and was eager to learn. Now she could speak Chinese very well.
The reason why she was so passionate about Chinese was not only to communicate with Mr. and Mrs. Li, but more importantly, because she discovered the beauty of Chinese poetry.
Her love of art was the main reason why she worked hard to learn Chinese. After she came into contact with Tang and Song poems, she was impressed by the artistic conception and ideas in them.
Li Du said, "Isn't this too much trouble?"
Sophie laughed. "What's the trouble? Los Angeles is the representative city of the West Coast. I think Uncle and Auntie will like it there. "
"You can call them Mom and Dad," Li Du said.
Sophie shrugged. "Okay, then I'll call them Mom and Dad."
She knew that Li Du had asked his parents to come to the United States to prepare for the engagement.
Li Du drove the Rolls-Royce, which was still painted with skulls. Sophie said, "Won't it scare your parents?"
This made Li Du laugh. "My parents used to farm. There were many skulls on the pesticide bottles. They're not afraid of this."
"I'm talking about the car," Sophie said seriously. "Didn't you tell them that you were just working with a mentor in the United States? How can you afford a Rolls-Royce if you're working with a mentor? "
Li Du touched his chin. That was true. "It's okay. I'll tell my parents that my mentor is your parents. Just say it's a reward from my father-in-law."
Sophie giggled and said, "I don't understand you guys. Why are you worried about your parents knowing that you're so good in the United States and making so much money?"
Li Du sighed. "Two cultures. They're not worried about me making a lot of money. They're worried that I'm making too much money."
Parents knew their children best. Li Du's parents knew very well how capable he was.
If Li Du earned a million dollars a year, his parents could accept it. If he suddenly earned hundreds of millions, his parents would be shocked.
After all, they had worked hard all their lives and had not saved a tenth of a million dollars!
The Rolls-Royce sped all the way to Los Angeles. Li Du sat in the spacious workshop and took out a pile of information. It was sorted out by Brother Wolf. It was all about his comrades.
Li Du was preparing to expand his bodyguard team. Brother Wolf found him six people, all of whom were his most trusted comrades during his military service.
Five of the six were big Germanic men. The last one was a little special. He was a mixed-race man with heavy Chinese blood. Of course, he was also a big man.
