When Li Du saw Rick, Rick also saw him.
Rick's reaction was the same as Li Du's. Rick had a shocked expression. It was obvious that he was in disbelief to see Li Du so suddenly.
However, after he came to his senses, his emotions changed. His eyes turned bloodshot and his expression became ferocious. "Chinaman, what the f * ck are you doing here at my house?"
Li Du knew that things were going to be difficult today. He kept his cool and said, "This is your house? Sorry, Mr. Rick, looks like I came to the wrong place. "
Rick waved his uninjured left hand and bellowed, "Get him out, Chalmers, get this d * mned b * stard out!"
The well-mannered man was Chalmers. He smiled and said, "Looks like my relatives don't welcome you. Goodbye, sir."
Li Du was not bothered by the eviction order. He said, "You're Mr. Diamond? Mr. Rick and I did have some misunderstandings, but there's no misunderstanding between us. I'm here to give you money — "
Before he could finish, Rick came over and shoved him, yelling, "Go to hell, Chinaman! You b * stard who deserves to go to hell! You're here to give me money? You're here to give me fake money! "
Li Du narrowed his eyes and the smile on his face grew wider. This was a sign that he was angry.
Chalmers was very interested in this so-called "giving money." He stopped Rick and said, "Cousin, don't be anxious. Let's see what this gentleman plans to do first."
Rick bellowed, "Don't interact with him. Don't listen to his lies. This b * stard is full of schemes. He's best at framing people!"
Hearing his cousin's evaluation, Chalmers became cautious and said, "You heard him, sir. You'd better leave."
"Get him out! Get this b * stard out! It's all his fault that I'm in this state! "Rick bellowed agitatedly.
Chalmers and Rick had a good relationship. When he said that, Chalmers' expression turned gloomy. He pointed at Li Du and asked, "He's the one who caused you to become like this? He's that Chinaman? "
"Yes."
Chalmers looked at Li Du in disgust and said, "Hey, Chinaman, get lost. Don't appear at my door. I don't care what you want, I don't want to see you."
Ever since they met, the two of them had been insulting him. Even someone as good-tempered as Mr. Li was angry.
He said coldly, "A wise man will not be bewitched by a villain. Why don't you ask me why your cousin became like this?"
Chalmers gave him a shove and said, "I don't care about that. Listen, I don't care. I want you to leave now, leave my house!"
Then, he added, "I'm just saying this to sound nice. If you continue to stay here, then I'll have to chase you away. I'll chase you away with a shotgun!"
Since the other party had already said so much, Li Du could not stay. Even if he stayed, he would not be able to carry out the transaction and obtain the magazine.
He left with an ashen face. After he got into the car, he began to think about how to buy these magazines.
Although he was in the car, he did not drive back. Instead, he called Lu Guan to come over and eavesdrop on the relationship between Chalmers and Rick.
The entire set of National Geographic was too tempting for him. He wanted to collect it very much.
Lu Guan soon arrived. He hid outside the house and listened in through the window.
After a while, he came back and said, "Boss, they are cousins. Dog Ears is the older cousin, and he seems to be here to borrow money."
"Is Chalmers going to lend it to him?"
Lu Guan said, "No, Chalmers told him that he is penniless now. He has no money to lend him."
As the two of them were chatting, the door opened. Rick walked out, his face full of anger. He limped into the car and left.
Seeing Rick leave, Li Du frowned and fell into deep thought.
It was no longer possible to obtain the magazines through conventional means. From what he had heard, Chalmers did not understand the value of the magazines in the warehouse. Perhaps he could use his work identity to obtain them.
If Rick was here, it would be difficult to carry out his plan. However, now that Rick had left without the money, perhaps he could take advantage of it.
After some consideration, he formulated a plan.
On the 15th, Lu Guan took advantage of the weekend to go to Chalmers' house. He knocked on the door and entered.
Chalmers opened the door for him. Puzzled, he asked, "Hello, buddy. What's the matter? I hope you're not here to make a sale to me. Otherwise, you'll realize that you've made a mistake. "
Lu Guan pulled up his sleeve to show his tattoo. "Do I look like a salesman to you? Of course not. Actually, I'm a businessman. I'd like to make a deal with you. "
Chalmers asked warily, "What kind of deal?"
Lu Guan said, "I see that there are quite a number of warehouses in your neighborhood that are full of things, especially the ones here. Do you know who they belong to? I'm interested in that warehouse. "
He pointed to the location of a warehouse. That warehouse, like the magazines, belonged to Chalmers.
Chalmers did not answer. Instead, he asked, "What do you do for a living?"
Lu Guan did not beat around the bush and answered frankly, "I'm a treasure hunter. I work in the warehouse auction industry. You should know that, right?"
Upon hearing his identity as a treasure hunter, Chalmers' eyes lit up. His cousin was a treasure hunter. Although he did not know much about this industry, he was familiar with it.
Thus, he pretended to ask casually, "Of course I know what you guys do. What's in that warehouse that you're so interested in?"
Li Du had already told Lu Guan the answer. Thus, he said without hesitation, "There's a set of old furniture in there. It looks like it's from half a century ago. I like that stuff."
When he said that, Chalmers' interest was piqued.
A set of old furniture in the warehouse? He thought of Li Du, who had come by a few days ago. His cousin, Rick, had already told him that Li Du was a treasure hunter.
Thus, he thought that Li Du might also have come for this set of furniture.
Just like how he had dismissed Li Du, Chalmers did not sell the items in the warehouse to Lu Guan. He did not even wait for Lu Guan to open the warehouse and casually sent him away.
Lu Guan left a name card and left. Chalmers returned to the house and said, "Dear, where's the warehouse key? I have to go in and take a look. "
A woman walked out and said, "Why are you looking for the warehouse key again? Why, are you in the mood to tidy up today? "
Chalmers pursed his lips and said, "I'll never be in the mood to tidy up the junk in there. I really don't understand why that idiot uncle of mine doesn't collect anything valuable. What's the use of collecting so many lousy books? And many magazines. There are plenty of magazines on eBay. "
The woman said, "No matter what, your uncle collects books. If you loved to study and read like him, then you wouldn't have to be an insurance salesman. Instead, you'd be in charge of finance."
Chalmers was unconvinced. "Alright, my uncle loves to read, but what's the use? He's at most a librarian. If I were a librarian too, would I be able to support my family? "
