Chapter 53 Li Wei went to the gym
"Levy! I can understand you hanging Gatler Reid on the gate! He's a scumbag!"
"But why did you pull down his pants! How am I supposed to explain this to the reporters who arrived later?!"
Inside Vita Cafe, Danielle kicked open the door and roared angrily.
Li Wei, who was playing mahjong, raised his hand and pointed at Gris across from him.
"His idea."
Gris, who had lost so badly that his face was covered in sticky notes, peeled them off, revealing his face, which looked like a pig's head from being beaten up.
"Look, I didn't shoot him out of respect for you. By the way, is 'catching' that bastard enough for you to get promoted to sergeant? His crimes are hanging over his head, very conspicuous."
Danielle's chest, though not as imposing as Tessa's, was still quite large, and it heaved with anger.
"Is that the point?! The point is..."
"The important thing is that you should start preparing for your promotion exam, Danielle, it's next week."
Tessa, who had basically never lost since she understood the rules, reminded Danielle without even looking up, like a "concubine" who was immersed in the rules all day long.
"What?"
Danielle didn't react.
"You have a Bachelor of Criminal Justice degree and a major in criminology. Although you only worked at the Miami Police Department for three years, you met the requirements for a two-year detective term. Moreover, you performed exceptionally well during those two years, as evidenced by the fact that your overtime pay was higher than that of the chief. This shows how hard you worked."
"Moreover, the Miami Police Department's 'performance has been poor' in recent years, and it desperately needs a 'star detective' to salvage its image."
"I plan to establish a 'police foundation' for legal tax avoidance."
"So, you'll be taking the promotion exam next week."
While playing mahjong, Tessa said things that seemed to have no logical connection.
But Danielle, who had already left school and spent several years working in the Miami police department and in society, understood.
"This is tantamount to bribery!"
"I won!"
Tessa first put down the "card mahjong" in her hand, then personally stuck another note on Levi's paper before calmly looking at Danielle.
"I simply spoke with the Miami Police Chief and felt that my friend, Ms. Danielle Harris, was earning too little. I wanted to help her live a better life without hurting her feelings, and at the same time, improve the overall low-income situation of the Miami Police Department. It was a completely reasonable and legal 'donation' from a taxpayer."
"On the contrary, your accusation just now constitutes 'defamation' in the legal sense."
Danielle opened her mouth, but couldn't say anything.
Because Tessa is right, and she's not the only one who does this; such "transfer of benefits" is commonplace throughout the American "urban police system."
"Would my actions harm any innocent people? Or do you lack self-confidence, believing that you will lose your 'inner sense of justice and righteousness' once you assume a high position?"
It must be said that Danielle is still somewhat inexperienced compared to Tessa.
A single sentence of "goading" was enough to make Danielle stop paying attention to the "pants-pulling" and "police fund" issues.
"I never will!"
Seeing Danielle's angry, flushed face as she argued, Tessa smiled and said something to Antonio across from him.
"Daniel is so cute, don't you think?"
Antonio, who had more losses than wins, shrugged.
"This child is just like the 'female lead' in a crime-themed 'daytime soap opera'."
Tessa didn't laugh, but instead asked a rather serious question.
"So, which is our 'female lead's' romantic storyline?"
Then, the two subconsciously looked at Li Wei, who was holding "mahjong tiles" and had a worried expression.
impossible.
They're not a good match...
Tessa and Antonio each made their own judgments.
"Damn it! Li Wei! If you dare tell me that car outside, which looks like it was towed from a junkyard, is my 'lover'! I'll fucking knock your 'magazine' out of the house with one shot! Both of them!"
Before Danielle could react, Wesker kicked the door open and rushed in.
Having been dealt a terrible hand, Li Wei threw his cards on the table, stood up, and greeted Wesker with open arms.
"Oh! My old friend! I called you here for drinks! Don't worry about the details!"
Wesker wasn't having any of it. He drew his gun with lightning speed and aimed it at Levi's crotch.
"Explain! Or shoot! The choice is yours!"
"I'll give you mine."
"Oh! My old friend! You're always like this, thinking of me whenever something good happens! We'll always be true friends!"
Wesker's expression changed instantly; he put away his gun and hugged Levi.
Then, the two of them exerted force at the same time, hitting each other hard on the back, making the other person's eyes roll back.
Arafat and Santiago, who had just come out of the kitchen carrying dishes and wine, looked at this scene and couldn't help but have the same question in their minds.
Are they really friends?
However, Arafat was only imagining it, while Santiago directly asked Tessa.
"You, as a man, actually ask me, a woman, about this kind of 'friendship between men'?"
Tessa's answer surprised Santiago, but he was just curious and asked casually, so he didn't dwell on it.
"Too."
Santiago gave a casual reply, and just as Arafat finished clearing a table, Tessa's phone rang.
"Okay, sure."
After answering the phone and saying hello, Tessa looked up.
"Found Royce Wood's location; he's at the Miami Body Arts Fitness Center. Should we go see him first, or have a drink first?"
Having already lost so badly that he started to cheat, Levi immediately released Wesker.
"Let's take care of this small matter first, and then we can enjoy our drinks in peace."
He really didn't expect that just half an hour ago he was the one teaching these people how to play mahjong.
As a result, in half an hour, he swiped the Griss that was served halfway through the meal... He could barely fit his face with the money on him.
However, no one had any objections.
But Li Wei hadn't expected this.
"Are you two going too?"
After learning the whole story, Wesker and Danielle said they wanted to go too.
"I have to keep an eye on you! At the very least, you can't do something like pulling someone's pants down again!"
This is Danielle's reason, and it's fairly plausible.
But Wesker...
"I haven't been to a fitness center in Miami yet! After all, it won't be long before I'm someone who can afford a $100 'daily' membership! I need to go and familiarize myself with the environment beforehand!"
"Then take care of yourself."
Li Wei did not object, so the group rode in Danielle and Antonio's car straight to the Miami Body Art Fitness Center.
"Once inside, Wesker and Danielle guard the back door, Antonio..."
"He's out!"
Danielle suddenly interrupted Levi's plan, holding up her phone and shouting.
On the phone, there were photos that Tesa had sent to everyone on the road.
Li Wei suddenly turned his head and looked out the car window, following Danielle's finger.
A young man of similar build and age with black hair was seen carrying a backpack and walking leisurely toward the door.
Aside from the fact that he's wearing a suit in the photo and sportswear, they look exactly the same.
Royce Wood!
Levi pushed open the car door and rushed over, while Royce seemed to have noticed Levi as well.
He turned his head and smiled at Li Wei, who was rushing towards him.
