Elson showed Li Du what it meant to be decisive.
Within a few days, all eight people involved in the electric current attack on Steve were sent to prison. The reasons were different, but the outcome was the same.
There was no reason at all. Elson contacted lawyers, private detectives, banks, and tax bureaus, and ruthlessly sent them to court and sentenced them to prison.
There were a total of nine mines surrounding Li Du. Seven of the mine owners had suffered a setback due to this incident, and their mines had been taken back by the government.
Two of them were lucky. The mine owners did not participate in the conflict with Li Du, and Elson let them go.
The seven mine owners, plus Blanchett, had a total of 12 mines taken back. Elson did not know how he did it, but he bought all 12 mines.
After a series of dazzling maneuvers, the matter was concluded and could be considered to have come to an end.
The mine owners joined forces to deal with Li Du, and Steve became the fish in the pond. Elson used his family's power to deal with the mine owners, and Li Du became the fish in the pond.
Now the matter had spread in the town, but because of the good secrecy, people only knew the surface of the matter, and the truth was not clear.
The mine owners and miners thought that Li Du had dealt with Blanchett and the others. They were surprised by Li Du's terrifying resources and had a bad opinion of him.
In their view, Li Du's approach was ruthless. Blanchett and the others were put in prison and had their mines taken away, leaving them with nothing.
Subconsciously, they were in awe of Li Du.
We dare not provoke you, but we won't get close to you.
This was the strategy adopted by the mine owners. Because Li Du had saved Marcus and Aubrey, many of them empathized with him and felt good about him.
Now, after being believed to have killed Blanchett, Lennon, and the others, they no longer had a good impression of him. This was reflected in their daily lives. No one came to his mine at night, and no one greeted him during the day.
In the past, when Li Du went to the bar in town, someone would often buy him a drink. Now, when he went to the bar, there was no one to sit and drink with him.
Li Du was helpless, but he could not explain. He could only help Steve and Elson take the blame.
When he was free, he called Hans. Hans had tried to contact him several times this week, but he was busy cooperating with Elson and the others in their revenge mission. He was so busy every day that he had no time to call him.
The phone rang three times before it was picked up. Hearing Hans's lazy 'hello', Li Du couldn't help but laugh. He asked, "Why did you only pick up after so many rings? Are you throwing a tantrum?"
Hans snorted. "Dogsh * t, why would I be at odds with you? You're not my beloved little lover. Cut the long story short. What do you want? "
Li Du sighed. "I miss you very much. I wanted to give you a call."
"Get lost."
Li Du said, "Alright, to be honest, I was busy with something a few days ago, so I didn't contact you. It's very troublesome. I'll talk to you in detail when we meet again."
"Ha."
After a few more words, Hans either snorted or smacked his lips. It was clear that he did not want to talk.
Li Du said helplessly, "Anyway, I called to see if you're still alive. Obviously you're alive and well, so I have nothing to worry about. Let's hang up."
As soon as he said this, Hans, who had been sarcastic, became anxious and asked, "Damn it, that's all? Nothing else? "
Li Du laughed. "What else? Man, what's wrong with you? We're brothers, not lovers. It's enough to call to know each other's situation. Do we have to talk to each other? "
"Who wants to talk to you?" Hans said angrily. "I mean, do you really have nothing else to talk to me about? Have you looked at your mailbox? "
Li Du asked inexplicably, "Why would I look at my mailbox?"
Mailbox was an important tool for Americans to work and socialize, but Chinese people now used mailbox relatively little and relied more on Penguin's chat tool and text messages.
After coming to the United States, because Li Du had not worked in a company, he did not develop the habit of using mailbox and checking it every day.
Hans said, "Look at your mailbox first. We'll talk after you're done."
Then he muttered, "No wonder you haven't contacted me these past few days. I thought you had changed, you b * stard."
The mine had internet. Li Du opened his mailbox from the computer. It was full of spam, all kinds of promotions, and all kinds of false information.
He found Hans's mail, opened it, and a few photos appeared on the screen.
These photos were taken from underwater. The first one was of an underwater coral reef. The camera's performance was excellent, and the underwater photo was very clear. The bright color of the coral was vividly displayed.
Looking at this photo, Li Du felt confused. Why did Hans send these things to me?
The second photo was close to the coral reef, or rather, its target was not the coral reef, but an ordinary reef next to the coral reef.
There were a few sea snakes with blue and reddish-brown stripes on the reef. These sea snakes seemed to have noticed the photographer, and their heads were facing the camera.
Seeing this photo, Li Du's attention was immediately attracted.
Embedded in the reef below the sea serpent was a colorful stone. The stone was crystal clear, had a dark background, and had a changing color inside. It was a black opal!
How could there be black opal in the sea? Li Du was shocked when he saw it.
However, he immediately remembered the introduction. Opal could only be formed on land, and the formation process took millions of years. This was a very long time, so long that the sea could change into mulberry fields.
In other words, some land produced black opal, but this land could later sink into the sea.
In some of the information that Li Du had read, there was an introduction to marine black opal. However, because the sample was small and there were few discoveries, there was little information on the introduction.
Dragging the mouse, some more photos appeared below, all of which introduced this black opal. The camera kept zooming in, and the gem was photographed from several angles.
From Li Du's professional perspective, the gem in the photo was real.
After understanding this, he quickly took out his cell phone and called Hans.
Hans's cell phone could not be reached, and it showed that he was on a call.
Li Du put down the phone and waited two minutes before calling again. The call was still on.
Ten minutes later, he called again, and the call was still on!
This way, he understood that after this b * stard had hung up, he had deliberately called someone else. He knew that after seeing the photo of the gem in the photo, he would be interested and call.
Hans's behavior was like that of a child, but Li Du understood him. He was sometimes like a child. Li Du must have hung up on him a few times in the past few days, which made him very unhappy.
