The kidnapping case was a serious criminal case. When Knight found Daimler and the others, they could only hold them for a short time. Then they asked Li Du if he wanted to take revenge.
Li Du did not dare to use vigilante justice. Although the Knights had a strong background, he did not trust them. If he really hurt the eight of them, he would have to go to jail with them.
Besides, he had dealt with the eight of them quite badly. Before escaping, he had fired several shots. Six of the eight unlucky kids had been shot.
That was why they did not escape Las Vegas in the night. All six of them had bullet wounds on their bodies, and they hid to treat their injuries.
However, they were eventually found by Knight's men.
After the eight were found, two were sent to the police station, and the other six were sent to the hospital.
The wounds on their bodies were already infected. In fact, even if Knight's men did not find them, they would have come out on their own. Otherwise, they would have been dead.
Li Du, accompanied by Sophie, went to the police station to make a correction, and then closed the case. This case would be prosecuted by the judicial department. What awaited the eight of them were felonies.
The eight people who had kidnapped him were all young men, about the same age as Li Du.
Looking at them, Hans patted Li Du on the shoulder and said, "This is a warning. Don't do anything illegal. They're done for. They'll stay in jail until they're fifty."
Li Du said, "This is indeed a warning. Warning us not to flaunt our wealth and to be careful when we go out."
Thinking about it made him depressed. "F * ck, I'm just a small fry in the Hundred Thousand Club. Why are they targeting me? With such skills, why didn't they kidnap that guy Jim King? He's worth at least tens of millions! "
"He's worth tens of millions, but he doesn't have tens of millions in liquid capital. You're so famous now, you must have at least a million in assets. Besides, Chinese people like to keep cash. This is liquid capital. Who else would they kidnap if not you?"
Li Du said, "What do you mean? Who said I'm liquid capital? Don't I know how to invest? "
Hans shrugged and asked, "Do you?"
Li Du said matter-of-factly, "Yes, I've invested. You guys just don't know."
Hans laughed, thinking he was joking.
In fact, Li Du had really invested in a luxury goods giant that was in a precarious situation.
This investment also set the tone for his future development. Previously, he had only wanted to mingle in the warehouse auction industry and slowly become a millionaire.
He believed that with his ability, becoming a multi-millionaire was only a matter of time.
However, after coming into contact with the gemstone industry, he realized that if he wanted to become a millionaire, time was not a problem at all. He just needed to find these gemstones.
Since that was the case, why did they still focus on the warehouse auction industry? Wouldn't it be better to dig for gems?
Previously, he did not do this job because he was worried that the gem industry would be monopolized by the giants. As a foreigner with no background or connections, he would be torn to pieces if he interfered.
Now that he had come into contact with opals, he realized that the waters of the gemstone industry were not that deep.
Moreover, he was already a shareholder of Harry Winston and could be considered to have a certain background. It should not be a problem for him to tinker around in this industry.
Bringing along the goods that they had found in King Kong's warehouse, the group returned to Flagstaff by car.
Li Du sent Sophie home first. Before he left, he said, "Let's find a suitable time to help your father organize his birthday dinner. What do you think?"
Sophie smiled and waved her hand. "There's no need for that, dear. We can find a time to meet with them. However, the kidnapping case must be kept a secret."
By the time they returned to the campsite, it was already November. The weather in Flagstaff was clear and the hot weather had finally left.
Following this, Arizona would enter the best year of the year: the warm winter.
At that time, many northerners would come here for a vacation. Arizona's summer was America's purgatory, while Maine, Utah, Montana, and other places' winters were also purgatory.
On the second day back at the campsite, in the morning, a small bicycle rode in.
Ah Ow, who was growing strong and healthy, twitched her ears twice and let out a howl toward the door.
The sound was clear and loud. Although it was still a little childish, it could already show the power of a wolf.
Li Du turned his head in surprise and saw a blue-eyed young lady with black hair riding on the bicycle.
Hans waved and said, "Hi, Victoria, why are you here? Are you lost? "
The young lady was Victoria, a girl from the Mesa Welfare Home.
She was very introverted and shy. Even though she was very familiar with Hans, she was still a little timid when he stared at her and asked her questions. She did not answer and only looked at them timidly.
During the Boy Scouts' biscuit sale, Li Du and she had sold biscuits together. Both parties were familiar with each other. He walked over in a friendly manner and said, "Wonder Woman, why are you here?"
After seeing him, Victoria relaxed and whispered, "I came here on a bicycle."
Li Du said, "Huh?"
Victoria looked at him blankly and said, "Didn't you ask me how I came here? I came here on a bicycle. "
The corner of Li Du's mouth twitched. The young lady was still so silly. He was about to repeat his question when a treasure hunter who was playing in the campsite said, "Hey, Li, is this your daughter? She has been looking for you recently. "
"It's possible, Li. Are you thinking of abandoning your family? That's too irresponsible. "
"This child is so cute, how could I bear to abandon her?"
The treasure hunters joked in a friendly manner, but Victoria did not know it was a joke. She stood beside the bicycle and looked at them timidly.
Li Du waved his fist at the treasure hunters and said, "Don't scare the child, but have you been looking for me recently, Victoria?"
Victoria nodded and whispered, "Yes, I wanted to give you a gift, but I couldn't find you for a few days. Don't chase me away, okay?"
When she said the last sentence, the little girl sounded like she was about to cry.
Li Du hurriedly said, "Of course, why would I chase you away? You are very welcome to come and play here. "
Victoria laughed softly and said, "That's great, I'm here to give you a gift, Li. Thank you for helping me sell biscuits, Ah Meow, Crispy Noodles."
She turned her head to look at Li Du's two little followers. Ah Meow and Crispy Noodles obviously had an impression of her and were walking around her.
Victoria was carrying a small school bag. After she opened it, she took out a vase and handed it to Li Du. "This is a vase that I carved. Do you like it?"
Seeing the vase, Li Du was a little surprised.
The vase was probably carved from a whole section of a tree trunk. It was about 20 centimeters tall and had an interesting design. The outside of the vase retained rough bark, while the bottom and neck of the vase were polished clean and extremely smooth.
