Li Du and his group worked for another two days. When it was close to the middle of May, the tunnel in Li Du's mine was finally close to the location of the gemstones in the number 114 mine.
When they were close to the location of the first piece of gemstone, Li Du went down, took over from Brother Wolf, who was digging the tunnel, and operated the machine himself.
For the past few days, the three of them, Li Du, Brother Wolf, and Godzilla, had been taking turns digging the tunnel while Lu Guan settled the shattered rocks that were dug up. Consequently, no one was suspicious when Li Du went into the tunnel.
After Sophie gave Li Du her usual reminder to be careful, he put on a hardhat and entered the tunnel. Seeing this, Ali jumped into his arms and wanted to enter the tunnel with him.
As Ali could very easily get hurt by the occasional shattered rocks falling in the tunnel, Li Du did not want to bring it along.
