Standing in the garden opposite the hospital building, Li Du smiled as he looked at Stein and Gasol, who were at a loss as to what to do after being surrounded by reporters. I've put in a lot of effort to deal with you guys. Don't let me down. You have to go to jail!
At first, it was the reporters surrounding Stein and Gasol. After seeing the two of them, some youths and parents rushed in agitatedly. Without a word, they went up and started punching and kicking them.
It was too hateful. Their futures had been ruined by the two of them!
Finally, the Flagstaff police came in and snatched the two of them away from the angry students and parents. They quickly left the hospital in a police car.
A motorcade appeared. At the front was the roaring police car. Behind them were the cars driven by the students and parents who were chasing after them. The cars of the reporters brought up the rear.
After Li Du found Stein and Gasol, he started to plan how to get justice. He used his connections to contact the reporters and told them that there was a piece of news that could be reported. He also contacted the students and parents who had been scammed.
When these people gathered together, they formed a powder keg.
At first, they were skeptical. Although Li Du promised to provide the plane tickets and accommodation, they were still reluctant. This was because the matter was a little too secretive.
To prevent the information from being leaked, Li Du did not send the photos or videos of the two to the students, parents, reporters, and the Flagstaff police. The students' parents came because of his sincere words. The reporters came because of his connections. The Flagstaff police came because of Luo Qun's connections.
After the various parties arrived in Seattle, he did not immediately deal with the two of them. Instead, he waited until all the parties had arrived. Coincidentally, when the insurance company released the auction information, he chose to ignite the powder keg.
As he had hoped, the powder keg became a big bomb.
The media would hype up the matter. The students and parents who had been victimized would add fuel to the fire to make the news even more popular. The Flagstaff police would then arrest the two of them.
Their connections were in the northwest area. Therefore, when they had escaped, they had come to Seattle immediately. They had used the Seattle port to take a detour to Cuba.
The Flagstaff National College fraud case had caused an explosive effect in Flagstaff. For a small, conservative city, this was a big case. It was still a hot topic even after a few years.
The Flagstaff police had long wanted to arrest the perpetrators. However, due to the constraints of the American police system, they had encountered difficulties when they went out to enforce the law. They had failed several times.
This time, they finally succeeded.
Li Du believed that with the media following them, the parties involved providing evidence, and the local police department enforcing the law, the matter would blow up. Even if Stein and Li Du's relationship reached all the way to the White House, they would not be able to escape jail time.
Justice may be late, but it will never be absent!
When Stein and Gasol were taken away, Sandler and the other treasure hunters were dumbfounded. When they were in the ward, they had been beaten up by the agitated students and parents because they had stayed with the two of them.
They tried their best to explain that they had nothing to do with Flagstaff National College, but they hated the fact that they were with Stein. The angry students and parents thought it was okay to beat them up!
Apart from being beaten up, their biggest loss was the auction on the sea. They had clearly bid a high price for a container, so how did it end up in someone else's hands?
Their main goal in participating in the sea auction this time was a refrigerated container that Stein and Gasol had promised. The two of them had promised that if they helped them obtain the container, each of them would receive a reward ranging from one to two million dollars.
The two sides were very close. In fact, Gasol and Sandler were related.
In order to win their trust, Stein and Gasol had revealed some information about the container, which was that there was a priceless oil painting in the container!
However, the information ended there. They did not know who had painted the valuable oil painting, what was on the oil painting, or where the oil painting had been placed.
With Stein and Gasol caught, they were at a loss and did not know what to do.
The South American said, "There must be something fishy about this d * mn auction. We have to check the bidding list. I clearly bid 200,000 dollars. How did it end up in someone else's hands for 50,000 dollars?"
Sandler spat out a mouthful of saliva that was stained with blood. He said fiercely, "Why would the insurance company show us the bidding list so easily? We don't have time to waste. Follow me to the ship. F * ck, we'll keep an eye on that refrigerated container and act according to the circumstances! "
After receiving the information in the morning and paying the fees in the afternoon, the treasure hunters obtained the ownership of the container that had been auctioned on the same day.
Li Du looked at the public list. Only 800 of the 2,000 containers had been auctioned off. That was not even half. "What do we do with the rest of the containers?"
Bell said, "We'll use a lower-level special invitation auction. Next, we'll invite some prospective members of the Million Dollar Club and the Hundred Thousand Club. If there are still containers left after the next auction, we'll invite more treasure hunters. There are tens of thousands of treasure hunters in the United States. We'll definitely be able to sell off these containers."
The sea became lively. The small and medium-sized transport ships that the treasure hunters had hired went out to sea, ready to connect with the big ships to move the goods out.
This was a tedious process. Auctions on the sea were very troublesome. As the cargo ships could not dock at the port, the loading and unloading work had to be carried out on the sea. The treasure hunters had to hire people to move the goods out of the containers onto the hired ships. Then, when the ships sailed back, the goods would be transferred to the trucks …
As the containers were opened, the sea and the ships became crowded with people and carriages.
Li Du opened a refrigerated container. Big Quinn brought a group of strong porters and started to work.
Playboy and Magic Hand, who were next to him, poked their heads over and asked, "Hey, Li, what's this? You actually bid for a refrigerated container? What's inside? "
Li Du opened one of the boxes, revealing small purplish-red bricks inside.
"What's this?" Playboy was puzzled.
Magic Hand looked at the small bricks carefully. He frowned and was about to speak when a voice came from the container beside him. "Whose container is this?"
Hearing the question, Magic Hand turned around and said, "It's mine. Hey, Sandler, Bartrone, how are you guys? I heard that you guys fell into the sea from the ship? Someone even said that you guys were beaten up in the hospital. What happened? "
It was Sandler and the other two who asked the question. Hearing Magic Hand's mocking words, they secretly hated him but could not show it.
Sandler said vaguely, "Nothing. Is this container yours? Then are these oil paintings yours too? "
When the container was opened, porters were arranging the things. The rotten fruits, vegetables, and meat were dumped directly into the sea. The food and other items that were not spoiled were placed in different categories. There was one place where dozens of framed oil paintings were placed.
