The government has launched a disaster relief program . Fortunately, the earthquake
was not excessively destructive . Its epicenter was in the desert . The magnitude was
reduced to a small amount when it passed Phoenix .
Although the buildings in the city were tall, their construction was qualified, and their
earthquake resistance ability was very good . Scenes such as the buildings falling and
people dying did not normally happen . Only trample accidents occurred as a few people
ran away in fear when the earthquake happened .
A high number of houses in the towns and villages in the area have collapsed . Many
houses in American villages were self-built, and while these small buildings were
beautiful, they were not earthquake resistant .
Overall, the earthquake was a blip, with a death toll of five persons .
These five deaths were not directly caused by the earthquake, but rather, after the
earthquake some car owners were frightened and drove in a careless panic, resulting in
a series of car accidents . All five people died in the car accident .
Exhausted, Li Du kicked over a bucket of water and glared at Hans . "Where did you get
the news that there will be another earthquake?"
The Earthquake Administration denied the rumors . They said an earthquake could not
be predicted, and that the news spread about a second big impending earthquake was
fake .
"Well," said Hans with a smile, "There is nothing wrong with being a little more careful, is
it? You see, the Earthquake Administration also said that these days we had better stay
in the open . "
Li Du was restless the day before . He did a lot of work in the afternoon . It was cold in
the evening and he was exhausted .
After all, the earthquake had just happened, so they had to be careful .
Although exhaustion was really getting to him, Li Du dared not enter a room to sleep .
He could only stay in the doorway so that if the situation got bad it would be easy for
him to run quickly .
In fact, he couldn't even sleep at the doorway . Sophie had to go to town to help the
victims, and Li Du volunteered to help out in the ruined town .
Another day and not even an aftershock occurred .
After testing and checking, the Earthquake Administration declared that the earthquake
was over and this matter had come to an end .
Li Du finally could have a good night's sleep .
When he woke up, he felt sore all over . He went to Hans and said, "Come on, fulfill your
promise and give me a massage to make me feel good . "
Hans grinned and said, "You want to feel good, don't you? I'll take you somewhere . "
Li Du saw his expression and knew what he was going to do . He sneered, "To the red
light district? Go away, I'm not going . I want you to give me a massage, this is your
promise . "
Hans shook his head and said, "Not in the red light district . It's a Korean massage
parlor, very famous in Phoenix . Their staff is very good . "
He also explained that the massage parlor had Korean cuisine, hot spring baths,
Korean songs and dance performances, and so on .
When Li Du heard that there was a hot spring bath he was interested . He had been
sleeping outside these two days and was chilled to the bone .
Therefore, he complied and followed Hans to the so-called high-end leisure Korean bath
center .
The massage parlor was located in a regular suburban house, and although this house
covered quite a large area, Li Du did not see that it had the imposing manner of a high-
grade recreational bath center .
He looked at Hans suspiciously . "Is this the place?"
Hans nodded excitedly, "This is it!"
After they drove in, a Korean middle-aged man came out to greet them, and his stealthy
appearance made Li Du feel even more suspicious .
"Is there a hot spring for bathing?" asked Li Du .
There were only a few places in Phoenix with hot springs, and he knew about all of
them . However, he had never heard anything about this one .
Hans laughed and said, "What does it matter? He has a big tub here, and the water is
warm and very comfortable, just like a hot spring . "
Li Du was angry . "What about the Korean song and dance performances you
mentioned?"
"You pick a girl, she girl can perform for you . They have Korean striptease too," Hans
laughed even harder .
Li Du wanted to punch him, so he raised his fist .
Hans was afraid, so he quickly waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, I am not lying to
you, they really have a massage service here . Really, there is a Korean pine needle
massage, very authentic . "
Reluctantly, Li Du withdrew his fist, still not trusting Hans .
Hans, who knew his way around, hung out with the furtive old man, and they thrust Li
Du into a small room and hurried away .
After a while, a row of young girls came in and stood in front of him . One of them, who
was apparently the leader, said in a pretty voice, "Is there anything we can do for you?
Should I read our service list to you?"
Li Du said, "I want a massage, a real massage . "
The young girl looked confused, but nodded and said, "Sure, please lie on your stomach
while I do some preparation . "
The girls left, and then a middle age woman came in . She had thick arms and a body
two times bigger than Li Du's .
Li Du was satisfied . All he wanted was a massage .
The massage began . The full course was a hundred minutes . The auntie's technique
was really good, full of strength, and Li Du's tensed muscles soon relaxed .
He was enjoying himself when someone knocked at the door . "Hello, please open the
door . "
The aunty put a towel on Li Du's back and went to open the door . Someone rushed in,
holding a police badge and shouted, "Police, squat down!"
There were similar shouts outside . It was a police raid to catch illegal sex workers .
Li Du was stunned . He raised his hands and protested, "Officer, I only came here for a
massage!"
This was really unfair . Why am I so unlucky? He just came here for a massage, and had
to run into the police!
The policeman was not very unreasonable or rude . He looked at Li Du, who was still
wearing his pants, and then at the bulky woman beside him . He frowned and said, "You
came for a massage?"
Li Du hurriedly nodded . "That's right, officer, just a massage . There was an earthquake
two days ago, I have been participating in disaster relief, my muscles are very sore, so I
came in for a massage . "
The policeman looked at him suspiciously and said, "Are you involved in the relief
work?"
"Yes, yes," Li Du said . "I also met your colleague recently . You have a colleague who is
responsible for maintaining public security there . We know each other, you can ask
her . "
"Who is that?" asked the policeman .
Li Du made a phone call to Luo Qun, ad she and the police officer talked . The cop let
him go out and wait, said he would confirm his story later, and let him leave .
More than forty minutes later, a police car roared, and Luo Qun rushed over .
They were not from the same police station, but they probably knew each other .
Seeing Li Du, she frowned . "How come are you here? Does Sophie know?"
Li Du said angrily, "Don't talk nonsense, I came for a massage!"
Luo Qun sneered, "All men say that . "
Li Du said helplessly, "I really came for a massage, these two days I've been too tired!"
Luo Qun nodded and said, "No need to explain!"
"You don't believe me?" Li Du was really angry .
"Of course I do," she said, glancing at him blankly . "Just now I was teasing you . With a
fiancé like Sophie, I would not believe that you'd be interested in this kind of woman . "
Li Du said, "This has nothing to do with my fiancé, I would never do that anyway!"
Hans, with handcuffs on his wrists, was pulled out, and upon seeing them, his eyes lit
up and he shouted, "Help!"
