Li Du said, "What's wrong? Hurry up and apologize to him. What have you done? "
Luo Qun pouted. "You can't blame me today. Who asked you to bring a guest home without informing me?"
"But you can't make such a joke. Why didn't you open the door yourself?" Li Du was still angry.
Luo Qun blinked innocently and said, "I forgot to bring my keys …"
Li Du really wanted to slap her to death!
Luo Qun felt his anger and was ready to make up for it. She opened the study door and said with a smile, "Why don't you guys talk in the study? We'll have some food here and leave after that. "
Ding Xiaofeng panicked and said, "No, no, we won't stay. Let's go outside and talk outside."
Ma Cheng nudged him with his elbow and smiled. "Right, there are too many people here. It'll be too noisy if we stay. Let's find a coffee shop outside to talk."
Li Du didn't want to bring the saber out, so he said, "How about this, Mr. Ma? Let's go to the study first. It's quite spacious. We can continue talking inside. I still have a few good things to show you guys."
Ding Xiaofeng was about to speak when Ma Cheng gave him a stern look. He laughed and said, "Alright, we'll listen to Xiao Li."
They walked into the study. Li Du kept the drinks and coffee cups. Du Dayuan had stood up in a hurry earlier and knocked the coffee cup over, spilling coffee all over the table.
A few police officers went to the dining room. Luo Qun walked over and said, "Let me remind you again. What kind of friends did you make? They don't seem right. Why are they panicking when they see us? Could they be fugitives? "
Li Du said unhappily, "Don't talk nonsense. They're Christie's antique experts."
"Why would the antique experts be afraid of us?"
Li Du said, "How many of us Chinese are not afraid of the American police? You cops are like hungry tigers and wolves in human form. It would be strange if we weren't afraid! "
Although that was what he said, he also had doubts in his heart. The reaction of the three of them after seeing the police was indeed not right.
With doubts in his heart, he didn't dare to show them the jeweled saber.
After some consideration, he released the little bug when he brought the coffee into the study.
Frankly speaking, Li Du did not know much about Ma Cheng and the other two. His trust in them came from Ma Zhi-an.
Based on how much Ma Zhi-an had helped him in the past, suspecting Ma Zhi-an was a very immoral thing to do. However, thinking about Chen Haonan's warning to him, and thinking about how Ma Cheng and the other two had reacted when they saw the police, he had no choice but to be careful.
After much consideration, he still decided to let the little worm investigate the situation.
Not long ago, at Glen Canyon Storage Company, he had used the little bug to find out the identity of the Californian treasure hunters. This time, he used the same method to check the personal belongings of the three men.
Other than Du Dayuan, who brought a small leather case with a ruby, the other two also carried a briefcase with many things inside.
The little bug flew into Ma Cheng's bag and saw his wallet, work permit, documents, and some photos.
There was no problem with the work pass. There was a colorful photo of Ma Cheng on it, along with his position and title at Christie's: East Asia Region Cultural Relics Appraisal Supervisor, LV5 Appraiser.
His driver's license was in the wallet, and the address was in Los Angeles. This was not a problem, either, as Christie's headquarters on the West Coast was located in the City of Angels, Los Angeles.
There was no problem with the documents and photos, either. These documents were all about the cultural relics of China, Japan, Korea, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, and other countries and regions. The photos were of him with some celebrities.
Li Du took a quick look and realized that Ma Cheng's identity was not ordinary. In the group photo, there were even images of him and California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger. There were also various celebrities, especially Chinese celebrities, such as Jackie Chan, Jet Li, Chow Yun-fat, and other big names.
Ma Cheng did not find anything wrong with his side, so he let the little bug fly into Ding Xiaofeng's bag.
The documents in this briefcase were similar to Ma Cheng's. There were also some condoms, chewing gum, snacks, cigarettes, and other miscellaneous items. As these were personal items, he did not pay much attention to them.
After retrieving the little bug, he confirmed the authenticity of the three men's identities, and thus became even more enthusiastic.
He pushed open the study door. Ma Cheng and the other two were gathered in front of the study table, looking at the small briefcase on Du Dayuan's wrist.
The briefcase was opened, and some shiny, beautiful red stones were placed on a black velvet cloth. Du Dayuan was carefully wiping them with a piece of cotton cloth.
Hearing the door open, Ma Cheng and the other two immediately looked over cautiously. When they saw Li Du, they heaved a sigh of relief and said, "Oh, it's Xiao Li. Quickly close the door, don't let anyone see these things."
Ding Xiaofeng added, "Yes, the police also have to be on guard. These American policemen are very bad and greedy. The last time we were blackmailed in Las Vegas …"
Ma Cheng gave him a shove and frowned. "Alright, Mr. Ding, let's not talk about that anymore. The policemen here are Xiao Li's friends, how can they be the same?"
Ding Xiaofeng said helplessly, "Didn't I get traumatized? Just now, I thought these policemen were here to blackmail us again in the name of checking our gems! "
After listening to their conversation, Li Du suddenly realized why they were so afraid of the police earlier. It turned out that they had learned from their mistakes.
Du Dayuan patiently wiped every small gem and said, "You guys talk first. I spilled my coffee just now, so I need to make sure the coffee didn't stain the gems."
Li Du said apologetically, "I'm sorry, teachers. That girl is too childish. She just likes to mess around …"
Halfway through his sentence, he suddenly felt that something was wrong!
There was something wrong with the little bug's reaction. There were rubies in the briefcase, as well as ruby rings and ruby earrings. These were precious works of art, and the little bug should have been attracted to them.
However, the little bug flew around the three of them, and there was nothing on them that attracted it!
Also, when they were eating, Ding Xiaofeng showed him a string of brownish-red Buddha beads. He said that it was made of yellow rosewood and was worth 15,000 dollars.
The little bug flew past the beads, showing no interest in them. Ding Xiaofeng said that the previous owner of the beads had kept them for 20 years, so there should be an abundance of time energy in them!
He stopped halfway through his sentence. The corner of Ma Cheng's eye twitched, and he smiled and asked, "What's wrong? What's wrong? "
Li Du maintained his composure and pretended to be troubled. "I'm sorry, teachers. I shouldn't have defended my roommate. We should apologize."
Ma Cheng laughed. "Haha, so that's what you were thinking about. It's alright, we're all China people. It's just a small misunderstanding. Don't mind it."
"Thank you for your understanding, Mr. Ma. In that case, I'll apologize to Mr. Ding on behalf of my roommate and give you a bow," Li Du said as he released the little bug into the briefcase and used the Time Reversal ability.
Ding Xiaofeng came over to help him up. "No need, Xiao Li. It's not a big deal. It's just a misunderstanding."
However, Li Du felt that it was probably not a misunderstanding.
