The charity lunch was a buffet. The believers would bring one or two dishes from home, and some people who were good at cooking had cooked in the morning, so it was very sumptuous.
Li Du didn't use the little bug much, so he didn't consume much energy and didn't eat much.
After lunch, the gathering was over. The pastor printed out a list for each believer, with the amount of money raised from the auction.
A total of 80 items were auctioned off, raising 38,000 dollars. Among them, Sophie's jewelry box topped the list, fetching 20610 dollars.
Li Du received a cross. The pastor gave it to him to thank him for his contribution to the charity auction.
Of course, this cross was a common item. It was a souvenir, and everyone who paid for the auction got one.
However, the pastor wanted to thank Li Du for his good deeds at the auction. Before they parted, he said in private, "Before you and Sophie get married, I'll prepare well and show the best side of the church."
Li Du smiled. "That's great."
In front of all the believers, Sophie's hand was held by him and they stood on the pulpit. It was tantamount to acquiescing to his pursuit, or even accepting his silent confession.
After Li Du bid for the emerald box, he donated it in Sophie's name, raising even more money. Everyone knew why he did that. It was because he liked Sophie.
Therefore, the two of them hadn't confessed or mentioned anything about it, but the believers thought they were already in love.
When they parted, Sophie was ready to get into her parents' car. Mrs. Martin chased her out and said, "Who brought you here? Send you home."
Sophie stared at her and said, "I'm not going home, Mom. Today is our family weekend. We have to prepare dinner together, right?"
Mrs. Martin combed her hair and said, "Family weekend is postponed. Your mother and I are going to reminisce about our youth today. Goodbye, daughter."
The car drove away, leaving the female doctor standing by the roadside in a daze.
Li Du drove over and smiled. "Do you need a ride, ma 'am?"
Sophie was not a little girl. She understood what her parents meant, but she didn't get into Li Du's car. She said, "No, I'll take a taxi."
Li Du asked in surprise, "Why?"
Sophie bit her lips and said slowly, "What you did today was disrespectful to me."
Li Du was even more surprised. "What did I do?"
Sophie raised her hand and said, "You took my hand and went up to the pulpit. You did that without my permission. That's not good."
Li Du understood and quickly said, "Okay, then I apologize, okay?"
After these few days of contact, he understood the female doctor's character.
The female doctor was a devout believer. She valued love and the contact between men and women very much. Although what he did earlier was out of good intentions, it was a bit too much for her.
However, after hearing what he said, the female doctor was a little stunned.
Sophie stared straight at him with her clear eyes, then sighed and said, "God, you really are a fool, but I accept your apology."
Li Du pinched the bridge of his nose. He vaguely felt that what he had just done was wrong.
The Hellcat drove out, and the three cars followed.
After driving for a while, Sophie sensed that something was wrong and said, "The three cars behind us seem to be following us."
Li Du was surprised and said, "Really?"
Sophie said nervously, "I can't be wrong. In order to protect myself, I've learned how to track and anti-track. They are indeed following us."
Li Du did not dare to take the risk, so he called Hans and said, "I think I'm being followed."
Hans said, "Don't worry, turn on the iCloud function on your phone and use the 'find my phone' function. Send me your iCloud ID and password. Don't lose your phone, and I'll be able to find you."
The power of modern technology was great. Li Du passed the phone to Sophie and stepped on the accelerator, ready to shake off the three cars behind them.
Sophie acted quickly and said, "Okay, Big Fox will be able to track us …"
Just as she spoke, a Ford Mustang roared and overtook the Hellcat. It slowed down and stopped right in front of them.
Obviously, when Li Du sped up, the other party knew that they had been discovered and was ready to attack.
Li Du locked the car door and said, "Call the police!"
At this time, the car behind them also stopped. Sophie said in surprise, "The white Chevrolet is Marate's car. Look, Marate is getting out."
Seeing Marate's gloomy face, Li Du was relieved.
He had thought that they had been kidnapped by bandits, but it seemed that was not the case. It was Marate who had brought his friends to look for trouble.
Seven young men got out of the three cars. They were all strong white and black men. They followed behind Marate as if they were his leader.
Li Du was not afraid anymore. When he was in Phoenix, he had confronted the Eastern European gangsters. He was not afraid then, so how could he face these immature young men?
He saw that Sophie was nervous, so he gave her a hug and said, "Don't be afraid, I'm here. You stay in the car, I'll go out and solve this —"
"Don't, Li, let's call the police," Sophie interrupted him and hugged him again.
The menacing crowd reminded her of the horrible experience in Bones Community. She was worried that Li Du would be hurt if he got out of the car.
Li Du saw that Marate and the others did not have guns or weapons, so he was not afraid at all. He smiled and said, "You don't know, I'm good at fighting. Don't be afraid."
He opened the door and got out of the car. He looked at them and said, "Why are you guys blocking our way?"
Marate said coldly, "Chinaman, are you out of your mind? Of course we're going to beat you up! "
"Not just beat you up, buddy, we're going to break your bones," one of the young men said fiercely.
The young man beside him added, "You can call the police, but it's okay. The police won't follow you forever. We will. As long as we have the chance, we'll beat you up!"
Li Du took off his shirt, revealing his well-toned upper body. He said, "Come on, let's do it."
"What?" The young men did not know how to react to his reaction. Obviously, this was not part of their plan.
Li Du waved at them and said, "Didn't you want to beat me up? Let's do it then. Don't worry about me calling the police. I'm more worried that you guys will call the police. I hope you guys won't be too soft. "
As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately activated the Time Deceleration ability. He charged forward with both legs and raised his leg to kick Marate's lower abdomen.
After the kick, he twisted his body and swung his fist. An uppercut landed on the chin of the young man beside him. Then he turned around and kicked another young man's lower abdomen!
