Hans had to thank Luo Qun for her smile . Li Du felt a great deal about her sudden bright
smile, including cherished friendship .
Li Du bailed Hans out that day, paid the bail, and took him away from the police station .
Hans gave him an exaggerated hug . "Haha, brother, I knew you were someone who is
hard on the outside and soft on the inside, but it still made me sad that you didn't protect
me . "
Li Du rolled his eyes and said, "Remember this lesson . Can't you honestly seek a nice
lady to spend a lifetime with rather than chasing skirts?"
Hans chuckled and changed the subject . Obviously, he had no such ideas .
Li Du ignored him, knowing that their life philosophy was different . Hans was the type
who wanted to have fun at the moment, while Li Du wanted to have love, mutual
respect, and a lifetime hand in hand .
If it weren't for Sophie, he might have liked Luo Qun .
Luo Qun was stubborn, sensitive, determined, and hot-tempered . She had her
weakness, but she also had a lot to offer . This was a girl a man could happily spend a
lifetime with .
However, fate had declared otherwise, and they became good friends .
Li Du knew she was going to Siberia, so he didn't want to leave her by herself, or it
would probably be a journey to death .
He was more hesitant at this moment . Luo Qun was right, he was not alone, he had his
parents and a fiancée, and if he risked going to Siberia, he would have to think about
these people .
Siberia was not like Australia or Africa . Australia was a country of law and prosperity,
and it was safe to go there .
The danger in Africa was security, but if it were not for someone having eyes on Li Du's
wealth and position, his safety would not be in question .
Siberia was not only lacking in law and order but had natural dangers as well . The
biggest threat was not from humans, but from it being a pristine wilderness .
Li Du sat on the sofa holding a cowhide map, frowning to consider this matter .
This map, which he had found earlier in the Miami prison showed a cache of mammoth
tusks in Siberia .
Just as there were black abalone hunters in Australia, there was also a unique
profession in Siberia . Those were the ivory diggers, who searched for mammoth tusks
deep underground .
A mammoth tusk was worth tens of thousands of dollars, which was nothing to Li Du,
but a fortune to ordinary people .
When he got the map, he didn't care much and didn't think he would ever use it .
For him, who owned a diamond mine and was about to own Opal Island, these pieces
of ivory were not worth the risk .
However, if he had to help Luo Qun find the killer in Siberia, the map would work .
There was no point in going to Siberia for mammoth tusks, but if they were to put up a
disguise, it could come in useful .
Li Du had not decided yet . His parents would come soon and he had to spend time with
them first .
Mr . and Mrs . Li came to Los Angeles at the end of November, and Li Du took Sophie
along to pick them up . When Sophie's parents heard this news, they also set out from
Flagstaff to Los Angeles to meet Mr . and Mrs . Li .
Li Du nearly changed his mind when he saw Sophie's family . "How about this? I'll go by
myself and take them to Phoenix . You can just wait at the Phoenix airport . "
Sophie was busy repairing her makeup . She attached great importance to this first
meeting and chose a new suit for it . She wore a royal blue silhouette coat, which
showed her slim figure incisively and vividly .
White sweatpants and white canvas shoes completed the ensemble . She tied her silky
hair into a ponytail that made her looked energetic and fresh .
Adding a little powder to refresh her complexion, Sophie nodded in satisfaction .
Li Du said, "So, you are done?"
"No, but I think this makeup is nice," Sophie looked back and smiled brightly .
Li Du rolled his eyes and said, "You don't have to wear makeup . You were born
beautiful, like a water lily in a clear pond, which is like a natural carving . "
"Go on," Sophie said . "I'll see how many more ancient poems you can think of . "
Li Du did not intend to lose . and said, "Good, I'll let you see my literature knowledge . "
Then he ran out of words .
Sophie grinned and beckoned . "Come on, the ugly daughter-in-law wants to meet her
in-laws . "
She had a gift for languages and was eager to learn . Now she could speak Chinese
very well .
She was keen on learning Chinese not only to communicate with her future in-laws but
also to discover the beauty of Chinese poetry .
Her love for art was the main reason for her efforts to learn Chinese . After she
encountered Tang and Song poetry, she was overwhelmed by the artistic conception
and thought in them .
Li Du said, "I hope it won't be troublesome for you . "
Sophie laughed . "Why should it be? Los Angeles is one of the beauties of the West
Coast, and I think Mr . and Mrs . Li will love it . "
"You can call them mom and dad," said Li Du .
Sophie shrugged . "Ok, then I'll call them mom and dad . "
She knew that when Li Du invited his parents to America this time, he meant to become
engaged .
Li Du drove a Rolls-Royce, and there was still the skull image sprayed on the car .
Sophie said, "Wouldn't that shock your parents?"
Li Du smiled when he heard this . "My parents worked on a farm . There were many
skeleton pictures on the bottles of pesticide, so they won't be afraid of this . "
"I'm talking about the car," Sophie said seriously . "Didn't you tell them that you were
working on a project with a mentor? Would it make sense for you to drive a Rolls-Royce
if you are a simple student?"
Li Du stroked his chin . This was true, "No problem . I'll tell my parents that my mentor is
your dad and that this is a reward from him . "
Sophie chuckled and said, "I don't understand you . Why do you have to worry about
your parents finding out you're so smart and making so much money in America?"
"Their culture is different . They don't care about how much money I make, they worry
about the fact that I make too much money," he sighed .
Parents understood their children best, and Li Du's parents were well aware of his
talents .
If Li Du earned a million dollars a year, his parents would accept it . If he suddenly
earned several hundred million, his parents would be shocked .
After all, they worked their whole lives and never saved a tenth of a million dollars!
The Rolls-Royce went all the way to Los Angeles . Li Du sat in the spacious workshop
and took out a pile of paperwork . It was the information of Brother Wolf's comrades that
he had rearranged .
Li Du was preparing to expand his bodyguard team . Brother Wolf gave him a list of six
people who were his most trusted comrades .
Among the six, there were five big German men and one who was of mixed heritage
and part Chinese .
