Li Du felt that he was quite a celebrity now. Hearing the lady's words, he laughed. "From the news? The media, television, or computer? "
The lady shook her head slowly. "No, it was through my phone. I saw a picture of you on my phone. You were on a boat."
Li Du was puzzled. A picture of himself on a boat? He must have been on a boat and taken pictures on it, but those pictures should not have been leaked.
One of the ladies' phones rang. She went to answer it and waved to Akkalou. "Goodbye, cute boy. If you're still in Los Angeles, we'll meet again."
Akkalou smiled brightly and bowed. "Looking forward to our next meeting."
Watching the lady leave, Turis said, "Didn't they come to the Playboy's mansion to hunt?"
Akkalou said, "You want to pick up girls in Los Angeles with those eyes? Their watches are Patek Philippe, their jewelry is a full set of Tiffany's, and their clothes are handmade by masters. They're obviously from rich families. Why would they come to the mansion to hunt? "
"Wow, doesn't that mean that if I can pick up one, all I have to do is lie in bed and enjoy the rest of my life?" Olly's eyes lit up.
Li Du laughed. "Yes, that's it. But you'll have to find one blind first."
Cheerful laughter rang out.
"That makes sense, Boss Li." Dickens bumped fists with him and then asked, "You're planning to stay in Los Angeles? Not going back to Phoenix and Flagstaff? "
Before Li Du could answer, someone said, "If I were Boss Li, I wouldn't have stayed in Arizona. Los Angeles is my stage."
Li Du laughed and shook his head. "I won't stay anywhere. I'll go wherever I can make money."
"This time, we're here to make money, Boss Li. I've sold my truck. I'm hoping to make some money with you," Olly continued.
Li Du was surprised. "You sold your truck? You sure have confidence in me. "
Olly stroked his beard and smiled. "Of course, I'm absolutely confident. I only have confidence in two things. One is you, Boss Li, and the other is the country that raised me, the United States of America. "
"Get lost. That's disgusting." The group started laughing again.
The auction would start tomorrow, and today's mission was to investigate the situation of the houses.
Li Du brought the group of people around the twenty-five houses, and they first went to a modern-style detached house.
This kind of housing came from the model district that the government built in batches to encourage the inflow of population. The entire district was made up of such detached houses. They looked like small villas with their own doors and courtyards, with lawns and gardens.
But when he looked around, all the houses were the same, which made the villa lose its aura. They all came from the same template, and it seemed that even the environment was the same. The only way to identify them was by the house number.
There were two houses up for auction in this area, one was B-24 and the other was E-45. Coincidentally, when Li Du and the others arrived at house B-24, there were also people loitering around the house.
Needless to say, the person who did that was either a thief or a house picker.
Now, it was a trend among treasure hunters to check the condition of the storage units in advance. This was a trend that Li Du had started. People realized that Li Du would check the condition of the storage units in advance every time he attended an auction, so they followed suit.
Of course, they did not have the space-time bugs, so there was no point in going.
House pickers were different. The windows of the houses were there. As long as no one was looking, they could go through the windows to check the condition of the house.
In fact, it was illegal to do so. Take a detached house for example. It was usually surrounded by a fence or a fence, forming a small yard. The house was in the yard, and without the permission of the owner, people could not enter the yard. Naturally, they could not go near the windows.
Li Du saw someone leaning against the window and looking around. He knew who it was. Then he said through the walkie-talkie, "Let's go scare them. All the cars speed up and surround the house."
"Okay."
The motorcade suddenly sped up. With two Ferraris leading the way, more than ten cars surrounded the small detached house.
The house picker, who was looking in through the window, was frightened. When the car door opened, a group of burly men appeared. He thought it was the owner or his friends, so he quickly ran away.
Li Du laughed. He had an impression of these two men. He had seen them at the auction in Santa Monica. At that time, the two of them had mocked him very much.
When Li Du got out of the car, the two of them recognized him. They became angry and said, "Hey, China dude, what are you doing? You're still alive? "
The treasure hunters of Flagstaff all followed Li Du's lead. Hearing the two house pickers insult him, the hot-tempered Olly and Carl could not take it anymore. They went up and shoved the two of them. "Shut up! You're stinking us! "
Olly and Carl were not big men, but that depended on who they were talking to. Compared to the stronger treasure hunters, they were thinner and weaker. However, compared to the pampered house-pickers, they were still big enough to look at.
The two of them were pushed and almost fell to the ground. Naturally, they were angry.
One of them straightened his neck and said, "What are you doing? Do you want to beat us up? Hey, China dude, you brought thugs? "
In the end, he did not dare to call Li Du China dude anymore.
Li Du looked at the two of them with a smile and then suddenly waved his hand. "Guys, go, beat up these two sons of b * tches!"
More than ten big men rolled up their sleeves and rushed forward. The two of them quickly got into the car and ran away.
Turis turned around and smiled. "Hey, Big Li, why do I feel that we have the demeanor of the Tucson Brotherhood?"
Li Du waved his hand and said, "I don't do such evil things. I was just joking with these two guys."
He looked at the yard and said, "Let's go and take a look at number 45. We're not going to look at this anymore."
The group of people was at a loss and started asking, "Why not?" "Are we going to continue to chase after the two of them?" "Didn't we just arrive?"
Akkalou coughed and said, "Since you guys have chosen to believe in Big Li, then you should listen to him. You guys have to understand that he never fights a battle he is not confident of winning."
Li Du laughed and said, "This house is useless. It has no value. We don't have to waste our energy here."
"How can you tell?" the crowd asked in surprise.
He pointed to the outer wall of the house and said, "Do you see anything? Look carefully. "
The group of people looked carefully and then shook their heads.
Li Du said, "Termites. The walls and floor of this house must be full of termites. The previous owner must have placed a termite queen in the house. He wants to destroy this house."
The treasure hunters entered the yard to take a look and found a few termites on the white wall. Someone dug in the corner of the wall and more termites appeared.
