Maung Kyaw Zin stepped aside and motioned for Li Du to enter.
His wife stood outside the door, looking at the two of them worriedly. Li Du turned around and smiled. "Don't think too much. We're just here to discuss a biology topic. Look, I even brought a bottle of wine."
As he spoke, he shook the brown bottle in his hand.
After entering the house, Li Du looked around. It was simple and clean, with only a bed and a table. There was a large box on the table, and nothing else.
Maung Kyaw Zin said, "Sit anywhere you like. No one usually comes here, so there's no bench or tea for you."
Li Du said, "There's no need for that, mayor. I'm not here as a guest. I'm here for answers."
As soon as he said this, Maung Kyaw Zin suddenly became agitated. He grabbed his hair and shouted, "What answers? What answers? I really don't understand, I really don't understand. Is money that important? Are you guys really willing to do anything for money? "
Li Du said, "I don't understand either. I don't know what you mean. I'm not here for money."
Hearing this, Maung Kyaw Zin laughed coldly. "I'd be a fool if I believed you! You're not here for money? Didn't you come here for that jade mine? You dare to say that you're not? "
Li Du puffed up his chest and said proudly, "Yes, I'm not here for the jade mine. I'm just looking for something. I'm not looking for it to make money. I have to keep my motive a secret, but it's definitely not for money! Besides, my motive might be related to jade, but it's definitely not what you're thinking, to arrange for a bunch of people to dig and open a mine, to let everyone know that there's a jade mine here! "
His words were loud and clear. His conscience was clear. Maung Kyaw Zin was stunned.
Staring at Li Du, Maung Kyaw Zin asked, "You're really not here for the jade mine?"
Li Du said, "Did you see how many bodyguards I brought? Then you should know that I'm not short of money. I'm here to see if I can find something useful, not to open a mine and make a fortune. "
"Besides," he added, "so what if I find a jade mine? Will your country's government allow me to open a mine? The government will not let anyone get their hands on such a new mine. They will nationalize it! "
Maung Kyaw Zin stared at him blankly for a while, then said dejectedly, "Sigh, I was wrong, I was wrong this time."
Li Du asked, "What's going on? Also, what's with these giant ants? "
Maung Kyaw Zin did not speak. He sat on the bed with his head in his hands and continued to daydream.
When Li Du became impatient, he opened the lid of the bottle to pour the ants out.
Seeing this, Maung Kyaw Zin was shocked and shouted, "Don't dump them in my house, don't touch them …"
But it was too late. Li Du turned the bottle upside down and tried to pour the contents out.
Maung Kyaw Zin let out a terrifying scream. He seemed to be extremely afraid of the ants in the bottle.
However, there were no ants pouring out. Only a few drops of muddy, viscous water flowed down the mouth of the bottle and landed on the table, slowly corroding a hole in the wooden surface.
"Where are the ants?" Li Du wondered.
Maung Kyaw Zin heaved a sigh of relief and slumped back onto the bed. He muttered, "Thank goodness, thank goodness. Grandpa was right. Thank goodness, they can't stray too far from the queen …"
Li Du frowned. "What's going on? Speak clearly, Mayor. "
Maung Kyaw Zin waved his hand and said, "This has nothing to do with you, Boss Li. This has nothing to do with you. Since you didn't come to Dena Mountain for the jade mine, I suggest you leave quickly. This place has become very dangerous."
Li Du said, "I haven't found what I'm looking for. I can't leave."
"If you don't leave, you'll lose your life!" Maung Kyaw Zin shouted.
Li Du looked at him and said, "Speak clearly."
Maung Kyaw Zin stubbornly said, "There's nothing to say. That's all I have to say. If you don't listen, there's nothing I can do. I hope you won't blame me when you lose your life."
Li Du said, "I won't blame you, but I'm afraid those who died on Dena Mountain will blame you."
Maung Kyaw Zin stood up and widened his eyes. "What do you mean?"
Li Du smiled and said, "I won't beat around the bush. You're the one who caused their deaths."
Maung Kyaw Zin slammed the table and said, "No, it wasn't me. Their deaths have nothing to do with me. Don't spout nonsense!"
Li Du said, "My feet know whether the shoes fit. You and I both know whether I'm spouting nonsense or not."
Just like before, Maung Kyaw Zin stared at him blankly again. Then, he slowly sat back on the bed and said, "What do you mean? What do you know? "
Li Du smiled slyly and said, "You know very well what I know. Otherwise, why would I say these things? Although I'm not sure how you caused their deaths … "
"Don't spout nonsense. I didn't cause anyone's death." Maung Kyaw Zin interrupted him agitatedly. "I didn't cause anyone's death. They killed themselves. It has nothing to do with me!"
Li Du said, "Don't worry, mayor. I'm not here to hold you accountable. I'm not a police officer and I'm not interested in these cases. I just want to find out what's going on with these ferocious ants. What's going on with Dena Mountain? "
Maung Kyaw Zin said, "I don't know, I don't know. I'm very upset now. Don't ask me. I don't know anything. You better leave!"
Li Du said, "I won't leave until I get an answer. If you continue to hide it from me, I'll call the police and let them investigate this."
Maung Kyaw Zin laughed coldly. "Let the police investigate what? A new species of ants that has never been discovered before? Or a case that happened many years ago? Would the police care about this? Do you think this is China? "
Looking at his fearless expression, Li Du had an idea. "You're right. The police are not interested in these things. However, biologists and entomologists from all over the world should be interested. I can describe this species of ants to them. Perhaps they will come to Dena Mountain to investigate."
Maung Kyaw Zin said, "Will they believe it?"
Li Du took out his phone and turned it around. He smiled and said, "Do you know about smartphones? You can take pictures and videos. The pictures of the ants are in there, and so is the video. Isn't that trustworthy enough? "
Maung Kyaw Zin's expression froze.
He took a few deep breaths and said, "Don't do this. You'll kill them. Besides, even if they're interested, they won't be able to find these ants. They won't be able to find them. "
"If you can't find them, then take your time. Search all over the mountain. Who knows, you might even find the legendary jade mine on Dena Mountain," Li Du said with a smile.
Hearing this, Maung Kyaw Zin became agitated again. "There's no jade mine on Dena Mountain, no! Many people have come to look for it, but it's just a rumor! "
Seeing Maung Kyaw Zin's reaction, Li Du was certain. "You know that there's a jade mine on Dena Mountain? You know where it is? But you don't want people to find it, right? You want to keep this secret. Whoever finds it or gets close to it, you'll kill them?! "
The more he spoke, the more serious his expression became. If that was really the case, then Maung Kyaw Zin was too dangerous.
