After the student activities, Li Du's task was to accompany Sophie, the expectant mother, to give birth.
He occasionally went to some auctions, such as warehouse auctions or real estate auctions, and occasionally attended banquets where people from all walks of life were invited.
Generally, these banquets or party invitations were made over the phone, and some were delivered to the door. Li Du was used to this kind of life, and it was peaceful.
Until July, when an unexpected guest came to the door.
On this day, Li Du was studying Sophie's bulging belly when Brother Wolf knocked on the door and said, "Boss, someone is looking for you. It's urgent."
Li Du asked lazily, "Who is it? What's the hurry? "
Brother Wolf said, "It's Mr. Steve Tussenberg's housekeeper, Mr. Elson."
As soon as he heard that it was the old man, Li Du quickly stood up and said, "Where is he? I'll … "
"I'm outside the door," Elson's old voice rang out.
Li Du went out and saw Mr. Elson's aging body and appearance. He smiled and said, "What's the matter? You have to come in person? You can just call. "
He had asked Steve to help him a lot, and Elson was usually responsible for helping him, so he was very polite to the old man.
Elson smiled bitterly and said, "I have to come in person for this. Is there a quiet place? I want to talk to you. "
Li Du took him to the study, then winked at Brother Wolf and said, "Don't let anyone in unless it's very important."
Brother Wolf immediately turned his back to the door of the study.
Entering the study, Elson's mood quickly sank. He found a chair and sat down, sighing, "There's trouble, big trouble."
Li Du said, "If there's anything I can help with, please tell me."
Elson looked at him and asked, "Li, when was the last time you saw Steve?"
Li Du said, "It was when I got married, on Seagull Island, and you were there."
Elson asked expectantly, "And then? Did you run into Steve again? Or talk to him on the phone? "
Hearing this, Li Du realized that he had not been in touch with Steve for a long time!
Since returning to Los Angeles, he had hardly taken the initiative to call. Bill and Lu Guan called him to invite him to the auction, Dickens called him to bid for real estate, and people called him for various social events.
In other words, his active contact with the outside world was almost cut off.
Looking at him shaking his head, Elson's mood became gloomy again. His face was ashen and extremely ugly.
Li Du poured him a glass of wine and said, "What's wrong? Calm down, Mr. Elson. You seem to be in a very bad mood and mental state. "
Elson took a big gulp from the glass. He gasped and said, "Steve's gone!"
"What?!"
Mr. Elson said again, "Steve is missing!"
Li Du was shocked. "How could this be? Why would he go missing? Don't you know where he went? "
Elson sighed and said, "I don't know. He acted behind my back this time. When I couldn't get in touch with him, I asked someone to investigate. The result of the investigation was that he went to the Lake Angikuni area in Canada. After he got there, the news was cut off."
Li Du's scalp went numb. He was well aware of Elson's power. He guessed that Elson could even mobilize the FBI and the CIA. If even he could not find Steve, it meant that Steve was really missing.
He asked, "When did this happen?"
"The final results came back yesterday. I have been investigating for two months, and it has been nearly four months since I last saw Steve. In fact, we separated after your wedding," Elson frowned.
Hearing this, Li Du's heart skipped a beat. "After my wedding? At my wedding, Steve came to me and invited me to join an expedition, but I wanted to accompany Sophie on her honeymoon, so I refused his invitation. "
Elson asked expectantly, "Did he mention where he went on the adventure? Was it in the Lake Angikuni area in Canada? "
Li Du shook his head regretfully. "I'm sorry, sir, I didn't ask specifically, but it must have something to do with the so-called entrance to the fifth dimension that he has been exploring."
His words made Elson groan. "God, it's the fifth dimension, it's still the fifth dimension. Why do the Tussenbergs keep looking for this?"
Li Du said, "Steve has been investigating this matter. He was looking for meteorites in the Antarctic to investigate this matter. Don't you know?"
Elson smiled bitterly. "I know. I have also investigated this matter, but because I have been involved in this matter, I know its danger. I follow Steve to dispel his idea!"
Hearing him say 'know its danger' instead of 'know its absurdity,' Li Du was surprised. "You also think that the fifth dimension exists?"
Elson did not answer directly. He rubbed his face with his hand and said, "You should know that Steve's father is a Tussenberg, and his mother is from Vanderbilt, right?"
Li Du nodded. "Yes."
Elson continued, "Then do you know the password? Steve's father, Tyson, is an ordinary Tussenberg man, and his mother, Chiriani, is a Vanderbilt princess! "
"The Tussenbergs are just shipping merchants. Although they have some assets, they are far from being comparable to the Vanderbilt family. The difference is too big! You should know that the upper class in the United States values family background, right? "
Li Du continued to nod. "I know. In fact, we in China also pay attention to this."
"So, how could an ordinary man from the Tussenberg family marry the princess of the Vanderbilt family?" Elson asked.
"Well, the story of Romeo and Julia? Oh, no, "Li Du immediately reacted." Is it the fifth dimension that binds the two together? "
Elson said, "You're right. Tyson and Chiriani met and knew each other during the exploration of the Fifth Dimension. In this exploration, the Tussenberg family took the lead, and the Vanderbilt family hoped to share the Tussenberg family's gains, so they allowed the two young people of different statuses to get together."
"The information that the Tussenbergs have is valuable, beyond the scope of money. However, to continue to get information, they need the support of money. That is why the Tussenbergs support them!
"That is to say, for Tyson and Chiriani, their union is love, but for the families behind them, it is a deal!
"Everything is for the mysterious entrance to the Fifth Dimension!"
