Chapter 169 Mine Theft
"Xiao, why didn't you tell me that you had been entrusting a friend to take care of my sister all this time?" Jesse asked Xiao Peng.
"Don't make a fuss, I'm driving, don't talk to the driver. Xiao Peng said seriously.
Yang Meng said happily on the side: "Hey, Young Master Xiao still knows how to be shy, when did he become so restrained?"
"Go, go, go, play in the carriage, don't bother me here. Xiao Peng coaxed.
Andre walked over: "Xiao, I thank you. Curt has taken very good care of me this month, and I'm still wondering why, it turns out that you are friends. β
When Andre spoke, Xiao Peng couldn't be arrogant: "It's nothing, it's a gesture, I didn't expect Curt to give face so much." It is he who takes care of you, not me, and you have to thank him and thank him. β
When Xiao Peng knew that Jesse was going to give Curt parole, Xiao Peng contacted Charlie and Curt, and of course, both sides gave benefits. Charlie paid a high amount of legal fees, and Curt and Xiao Peng paid for the 'wine', how could they not pay for the wine they took from their house last time?
Look at those who advocate foreign goodness on the domestic Internet, and all of them take foreigners' money. To borrow an old Chinese saying, 'the world is as black as a crow', do you really think that crooked nuts are not greedy?
Xiao Peng drove the car and had nothing to say, so he asked Andre: "Since you have come out, what are your plans in the future?" β
Andre said: "When I go back, I sell the mine and go to Melbourne with Jesse to live. β
Listening to Andre's words, Jesse was stunned: "Andre, are you crazy? The mine is a relic left by my father, how can we sell it? We have to keep the mine forever!"
Andre sighed, took out a letter and handed it to Jesse: "This is left by my father, you can see for yourself." See if it's your father's handwriting. β
Jesse looked at the letter his father had left behind and burst into tears. Xiao Peng asked curiously, "What does the letter say?"
Jesse put the letter next to Xiao Peng and ran to the lounge.
Xiao Peng was curious and pulled the car aside: "Mengzi, you come to drive." After that, he picked up the letter left by old Carter. After reading the content, Xiao Peng was also full of emotion.
In the letter, Carter Sr. did not repent of his murder, he repented that when Jesse was pursuing his dream, he did not sell the mine to support Jesse in the first place, but embarked on the road of crime and let AndrΓ© accompany him to prison. He told AndrΓ© to wait for Jesse to sell the mine and live in a city like Melbourne or Sydney when Jesse was twenty. The reason why I had to wait until I was twenty years old was because I was afraid that Jesse would be too young to control so much wealth.
After reading this letter, Xiao Peng didn't know what to say. Carter Sr. is a murderer on the one hand, and a good father on the other, and everything in the world has its own sides, depending on which side you look at.
What? You say there is only one side of the MΓΆbius ring? You go away! Change the subjectγγγγγγ
Before he died, Carter Sr. had passed the mine to his two daughters. Now they can sell the mine and live a good life, and at the price at the time of Carter's death, the mine could sell for almost $800,000, and now it sells for almost $1 million. It's not that Australia's land has increased in value, but that Australia's inland land will never increaseγγγγγγ It's because the price of the mining rights is too expensive. All in all, if they sell the mine, the sisters will have a lot of money in their hands.
You know, the reason why Australia attracts the attention of investors is very important, because Australia has no inheritance tax! They now only need to pay some value-added tax when they sell their mines, which is rare in Western countries. Especially since China has also begun to try to collect inheritance tax, this has also become the reason why some domestic billionaires have emigrated to Australia.
Xiao Peng signaled to Andre, took a towel, and came to the lounge, Jesse was lying on the bed crying, Xiao Peng sat next to her, and didn't speak, just turned on the exhaust fan and lit a cigarette.
"Can't you change your tricks?" Jesse laughed angrily, "Every time I cry, you sit next to me like this, smoke and don't talk, is it funny?"
Xiao Peng looked aggrieved: "I have changed my new tricks, you see, this time I have prepared a towel, and I will never let you blow your nose with my clothes again." β
"Poof. Jesse laughed out loud, "Why are you so annoying?"
Jesse sat up from the bed and patted Xiao Peng on the shoulder, but before Xiao Peng could speak, Jesse hugged Xiao Peng and cried again. Xiao Peng sighed, the towel was useless again: "Cry, cry, you have a good father." No matter what others say, no matter what he does, for you, he is a good father, and that is enough, and he deserves to be proud of him. β
After listening to Xiao Peng's words, Jesse cried even more, and finally got tired of crying and fell asleep. After Xiao Peng placed her, he walked out of the lounge, and Yang Meng was chatting with Andre. Otherwise, the environment is the best way to improve the language level, and now Xiao Peng has a mouth full of Australian English.
Xiao Peng handed Andre a bottle of cold Tsingtao beer: "She was tired of crying and had fallen asleep." β
Andrei nodded: "Thank you so much." You've done my family a great favor. β
Xiao Peng shrugged: "It's okay, it's a gesture, I've got your affairs done, I don't have anything to worry about, we should also leave." β
"Where are you going?" asked Andrei.
Xiao Peng said with a smile: "I want to go to Lightning Ridge to have a look, I heard that the black Opal over there is more valuable, and then I want to go to Queensland to have a look, the Great Barrier Reef! Why don't you go there to see it in Australia?"
Andre said enviously: "You are comfortable, you are really here to travel." β
"Actually, you can sell the mine, buy an RV, and walk around, you've been in it for more than four years, and it's good to walk around. After all, the world has changed so much. Xiao Peng said.
Andrei shrugged: "Has there been a change? I really don't feel it, look at this road, it's exactly the same as it was fifty years ago." β
Xiao Peng said with a smile: "We are the same in China every day, and every time I go back to my hometown, I feel like I have arrived in a strange city." β
Andrei nodded: "I know, we have an American inmate in our prison who has been to China, and she said that. She said that in your China, it is safe to walk on the road at night, which surprised her. This is something that most countries in the world do not dare to do. β
Xiao Peng said: "Anyway, you haven't been back for so long, you must miss your home very much, so, Mengzi, speed up, let's try to return to the mine at night." You open first, I'll go to sleep for a while, and wake up for you. β
"Okay, I'll leave it to me!" Yang Meng said.
Xiao Peng went to set up the double bed, thought about it, ran to the cab and said: "Andre, you have to swear, you can't let Mengzi drink while driving!
Andre made an OK gesture: "Don't worry, my sister is still in the car, I will take care of him." β
After listening to Andre's assurance, Xiao Peng was relieved to go back to sleep, he was indeed tired during this time, and he needed to replenish his sleep.
may also know this, no one bothered Xiao Peng, and let Xiao Peng sleep peacefully. It wasn't until the end that Xiao Peng was thrown out hard and woke up!
Looking at the mess inside the RV, the whole body tilted. Xiao Peng was shocked, and quickly got up from the floor and rushed to the cab: "What's the matter? What did you hit?" When he arrived at the cab, Xiao Peng saw that it was already dark at this time, and it looked like it was already midnight.
Yang Meng didn't have a big deal, and after listening to Xiao Peng's words, he said angrily: "I didn't hit anything! Why are there so many shafts in the mine?" Xiao Peng looked at it, and it turned out that he had already returned to the mine! The current location is the way they usually enter and exit the mine. How can there be a shaft pit here?
The Jesse sisters also walked out of the rest room, and Jesse had a big bag on his head: "What's the matter? Did you hit a kangaroo?"
Xiao Peng said: "We have returned to the mine, and we don't know who dug a shaft here. β
Yang Meng had already unbuckled his seat belt at this time, opened the car door and got out of the car: "I'm so sloppy, don't let me catch who it is! Which bastard did it?" Sure enough, the right front tire of the RV is now in a shaft.
Xiao Peng got out of the car and looked at the surrounding situation: "I'm afraid there is more than one bastard, I just looked at six shafts around, and some people directly drilled the shafts to observe the situation of the soil layer." Jesse, isn't that a burglary? β
Jesse nodded, "Definitely, but we don't have any evidence of who stole it." β
"Let's go out here in less than two days, there are so many more shafts, look at the tire prints, there is definitely more than one excavator. This is an organized poaching campaign. Xiao Peng came to a conclusion.
"What now?" asked Jesse.
"Let's get the car out of the shaft first. Xiao Peng snorted coldly. "Jesse, you and Andre go back to the car, you control the car, and I will get the car out with Mengzi. β
Jesse nodded and returned to the car. And called Andre to go back to the car together, and Andrei looked at the two people below: "Can they do it? How many tons does this car weigh?" β
Jesse only said one thing to her sister: "Those two are beasts, and it's not for them to lift the car, but just to lift the front of the car, it should be fine." β
Andre looked at Xiao Peng and the two with a skeptical expression, but looking at Jesse's determined expression, he still followed back to the car. Jesse started the car and signaled to Xiao Peng and the others that it was okay. I saw that Xiao Peng and the two worked hard together, and really lifted the tire stuck in the pit out.
Jesse turned off the car and got out of the car: "Is the car okay?"
Xiao Peng looked at the bumper that was a little deformed, the roots of his teeth itched, and after being silent for a long time, Xiao Peng said: "Jesse, Andre, have you decided whether to sell the mine?"
Jesse didn't understand what Xiao Peng meant, but nodded.
Xiao Peng snorted coldly after hearing this: "That's okay, tomorrow, sell the mine to me!"
Jesse opened his mouth wide: "Huh?"
