Years: Salted fish life since going to the countryside.

Chapter 1688: Hold it in hand
After finishing his tea, Han Li got up and went to the cockpit. He started the engine, anchored, and followed the giant tarantula towards the area where the shipwreck had been discovered.

It has to be said that Han Li is really lucky. Take today's treasure hunt at sea for example, he is like a chosen one.

They randomly caught a few tarpon, and one of them actually found the wreckage of the Lady Attoka.

If this were an ordinary person, even if they found traces of the shipwreck and wanted to salvage all the wreckage and the gold, silver, and jewels scattered around it, they would have been in serious trouble.

During this process, not only were professional salvage vessels deployed, but multiple divers were also dispatched to the seabed to locate and direct the operation. Finally, the treasure lost on the seabed had to be searched bit by bit.

During this time, it is also necessary to guard against others coming to steal the way. The manpower, material resources, and effort required for this are definitely not something that can be accomplished in a short time.

However, this was very easy for Han Li, who had a cheat code. He only needed to anchor the yacht on the sea and drink tea to collect all the treasures without missing a single one.

The only limitation is the range of Han Li's mental power; exceeding this range would cause much more trouble.

Coincidentally, the seabed where the Lady Attoca sank was only a little over 17 meters below the sea level, which was exactly within the range of Han Li's mental power.

Han Li stopped the yacht, looked around to make sure no other boats were nearby, and then, like a villain in a movie, he laughed loudly for a while.
He sat down and brewed himself another cup of tea before using his mental energy to begin salvaging the Lady Attoca and the treasures scattered on the surrounding seabed.

After Han Li had looted all the treasures underwater, including those from the Lady Atorca, he started his yacht and slowly circled the area.

Whenever Han Li found scattered treasure, he would collect it into his decomposition space. Only after confirming that there was no more treasure around would he turn the ship around and head towards the Miami dock.

Han Li made a rough estimate of the harvest and found that the amount of silver, gold and gems obtained far exceeded the 40 tons recorded in the data.

At this point, Han Li had forgotten about the other large tarpon, but that didn't matter; they would soon be killed by their natural enemies in the sea.

On his way back to the city, Han Li looked at the treasures in the decomposition space that had been eroded and corroded by the seawater, and wondered where he could turn them into legitimate funds in the Hua Shi Investment Company's account.

In fact, if Han Li wanted to maximize the profits from the treasure on the Lady Attoca, his best option would be to approach high-ranking foreign officials and gang leaders from the United States.

Because these people desperately need a way to turn their shady funds into legitimate ones.

For them, finding treasure in shipwrecks was one of the best and most honorable methods.

This situation is similar to how some high-ranking officials would try every means to buy up lottery tickets that have won the grand prize at a high price.

However, Han Li cannot do that for the time being, at least not this time, because his Hua Shi Investment Company also needs this auditable fund.

Therefore, the treasures Han Li obtained from the Lady Atorca can only be converted into money through an auction company.

However, Han Li needed to think about which auction company to choose. First, the auction company had to have a good reputation and be safe and secure, and the commission it charged could not be too high.

When Han Li returned to the dock and handed the yacht back to the yacht rental company, it was already getting dark.

At this point, Han Li originally planned to go to the city center to find a better hotel to stay in, and to inquire about the auction company the next day.

Just as Han Li was about to hail a taxi, intense gunfire erupted from the road leading back to the city in the distance. Although Han Li didn't know what was going on, he was absolutely not going to risk his life to ensure his taxi wouldn't be caught in the crossfire.

Fortunately, there were several decent hotels at the dock, and Han Li chose the one with the highest floor and checked in.

After Han Li finished eating at the restaurant and returned to his room, he sat by the window with a teacup in hand, watching the flashes of gunfire in the distance and thinking to himself.

Miami truly lives up to its reputation as a city of crime and vice; they carry guns in the streets during the day, and even engage in gunfights before nightfall.

And after all this time, the local police haven't come out to maintain order.

But that makes sense, otherwise Miami wouldn't have become the real-life setting for so many movies, nor would it have been the source material for Grand Theft Auto: Vice City.

In fact, Han Li had only been in Miami for a day, and there were many things he was still unaware of.

The gang members here don't care about the local police at all. They often engage in gunfights even in broad daylight in order to seize territory and profits.

As for the police in Miami, it's not that they don't care, but that they have no way to manage it.

As soon as they move out, those African Americans, Cubans, Mexicans, and Latinos who have taken advantage of this opportunity to smuggle themselves here and can't find work will open fire on them to cover the evacuation of the real gang members.

The majority of these people were children. Their young age and short stature made them inconspicuous in the crowd, but they would open fire as soon as they saw a police car approaching.

Although such people often end up being shot and killed by the police, there are too many people who can't afford to eat, so the underworld can easily recruit a large number of scapegoats.

This situation reached a stalemate, with Miami police shifting the blame to Customs and Border Protection, saying that if they couldn't stop illegal immigrants, the police wouldn't be able to handle similar situations either.

In response, the Miami Customs and Border Protection blamed a bill introduced by Congress, saying that unless Congress repeals or amends it, they have no very effective way to stop illegal immigrants.

In short, they're just passing the buck, and Miami's security situation is getting worse and worse, with a rising crime rate.

The number of people illegally immigrating here increased every year, and by 90, Miami's local population structure had undergone a fundamental transformation.

Less than 7 percent of the local population is white, while the remaining 90 percent is composed of African Americans, Mexicans, and Latinos, with African Americans making up the vast majority.

Getting back to the main point, to prevent being disturbed by phone calls in the middle of the night, Han Li hung up the phone before going to bed.

The next morning, after being awakened by his internal biological clock, Han Li briefly practiced the Xingyi Quan stance in his room and then did a round of the Spring Breeze and Rain Technique.

After Han Li finished washing up, he began to drink tea and take advantage of the morning to read and study.

When it was almost time, Han Li grabbed a bite to eat at the hotel restaurant and then took a taxi to Miami.

Han Li needs to select an auction house as soon as possible to liquidate the treasure and return to Hong Kong.
