Chapter 73 Flood Rescue (Now Available)
At the Lano police station, a teenager under 18 wearing a leather jacket is shouting.
"You brought me here for such a trivial matter? I'm a member of the Hell Angels. Believe me or not, I can make you regret this."
Li Yisen looked at the other party and said in a deep voice.
"If you didn't tell me, I'd think you were one of the Hell's Angels."
(Hells Angels, the largest gang in Canada, is also a biker gang. At its peak in 1980, it had 4 members and its influence spanned multiple countries. America was also within its sphere of influence.)
The boy felt uneasy under the man's gaze; he always felt that the policeman in front of him was like a wild beast, ready to devour him at any moment.
"Anyway, our boss won't calculate it that way."
"Call your boss."
"ha?"
Li Yisen patted the other person on the back of the head.
"Now, immediately."
The boy, steeling himself, shouted for a fight.
"Fine, we'll fight. You asked for it."
The call connected quickly, and a hoarse, harsh voice came from the other end.
"Teach, has the goods arrived?"
"Boss, I got arrested by the cops. They're in Lano. The police told me to call you."
Li Yisen snatched the phone and said.
"I am a police officer from Lano."
"Officer, please give him some face and let him go. That way, things will be easier for everyone."
Li Yisen's voice carried a hint of teasing.
"Do you really expect me, Ethan Lee, to give you face?"
"Ethan Lee?"
After a few seconds of silence, the person on the other end finally recognized who the name represented.
Most gangs in the surrounding cities have heard of this name, after all, he is a ruthless man who killed all the core members of the Furious Dragons, and now the Furious Dragons' territory has been taken over by others.
"Sorry to bother you, but that officer can do whatever he wants with him, I..."
"Li Yisen interrupted."
"Try hanging up the phone."
'

"Don't let underage kids deliver goods anymore, unless you don't want to use this route anymore. Leave your phone number, I'll call you when I have time."
The boy named Teach disagreed.
"I'm not a greenhorn, I..."
""
Li Yisen slapped the boy on the back of the head.
"Shut up, you're in detention for 7 days."
The answer was finally given on the other end of the phone.
"Okay, officer, the phone number is XXXX."
After hanging up the phone, Li Yisen wrote the number down in his notebook. Since becoming the acting station chief, he had been thinking about how to deal with rampant highway crime. As for the state police, they were not even as good as the county police.
The town of Lannault has the only northbound highway, which is used by people from Lancaster, Palm Valley, Sun Village, and Perblome.
Of course, for large-scale crimes, gangs will go directly to the desert.
These days, the town's four police officers can't manage the situation, and can completely ignore it, arresting whoever they can catch.
However, it's better to guide than to block. It's best to communicate with gangs that don't have such a bad reputation. If you're going down this path, you have to abide by the rules and cooperate. As a way of repaying kindness, gangs should sometimes provide intelligence.
Simply put, it's about recruiting some and suppressing others.
Just then, a distress call came through the walkie-talkie.
"Station admin, a car has fallen into the river at XXXX. Requesting assistance."
Lee locked the man in the detention cell while he drove to the river 1 kilometer away.
Five consecutive days of torrential rain have drastically changed the riverbed. If the river was only about 100 meters wide when it rained two days ago, it is now nearly 180 meters wide. One-fifth of the entire mountain range flows out from here, and its width is truly awe-inspiring.
Meanwhile, severe flooding has occurred on the west coast of Los Angeles County, resulting in several deaths.
On the riverbank, there were not only two police cars, but also dozens of townspeople watching, such as Sylvester Rambo and his adopted daughter, and even the firefighters from the town's mini fire station.
(In small towns, the volunteers who provide community self-service facilities are not full-time government employees; there are a total of 5 people, the oldest being 6.)
The youngest is 34 years old. (0 years old)
In the river, a white car was being swept away by the water at the edge of the widening river. If a tree trunk hadn't caught the car, it might have been swept away long ago.
Inside the car were a middle-aged man and a young girl. The front door was open, causing river water to rush in. It could be seen that the man inside the car was unconscious, while the girl kept shaking him.
Brandon Clark went to his boss to explain the situation.
"The trapped people are a father and daughter. The man's name is Joseph Jenkins and the woman's name is Alice Jenkins. They are both from our town. It is believed that Joseph accidentally drove his car into the water and was knocked unconscious. The town's fire department does not have any rescue equipment."
When will the rescue helicopter arrive?
"It will take 20 minutes."
"It's been too long."
Seeing the tree trunk swaying incessantly, Li Yisen estimated that it wouldn't last more than 20 minutes.
More than 10 meters from the shore, under the watchful eyes of many, there were two FBI agents sticking to them like leeches.
Looking at the father and daughter in imminent danger in the water, Ethan Lee had an idea: should he put on this show? If they could save them, there would be obvious benefits in every way.
There's an unspoken rule in American police reporting: cases involving killings or solving crimes are only reported briefly, unless it's a major case like Ethan Lee's multiple incidents that can't be ignored. Only rescues are something the authorities are willing to publicize extensively, even offering cash rewards.
Moreover, Li Yisen wanted to test whether he could accomplish a feat that ordinary people could not achieve, lifting 350 meters with his physique of 30 points.
Weight in kilograms.
350 kilograms is still far less than that of a world-class strongman, but it is still enough to make ordinary humans look good.
"Brandon, film this for me, I need to go down and rescue people."
"Stationmaster, no, you're still going down to rescue them like this?"
Lee Esen patted his subordinate on the shoulder.
"Of course, it's a risk worth taking."
Soon, Li Yisen found a 30-meter-long rope, tied it around his body, and to everyone's surprise, took off his shirt, revealing a near-perfect physique.
Two women in their forties and fifties stared wide-eyed.
"I never knew Officer Ethan had such a great physique."
"I kind of want to touch it. Do you think Officer Ethan would like someone like me?"
"hehe."
Lee Ethan was a swimming expert in both his past and present lives, but he had never tried swimming in fast-flowing water.
"Let's begin."
Li Yisen jumped directly into the water from upstream, and as he was swept downstream, he moved closer to the vehicle, while the men responsible for pulling the rope also ran after him.
Lee Ethan could feel some branches and debris hitting his body, but thankfully his super skin prevented much pain.
Just as Lee Ethan was 3 meters away from his target, Joseph Jenkins was suddenly swept out of the car by the current and was swept downstream in front of everyone. For an unconscious person, this was almost certainly a matter of life and death.
Li Yisen still came to the car at this time.
"Wrap yourself up with rope, and I'll take you back."
The girl named Alice Jenkins simply nodded, which gave Ethan Lee a strange feeling, but he didn't say anything, deciding to get the girl back first.
The two tied the rope securely, and the people on the shore began to pull.
Just as the two had swum halfway, some people on the shore cried out in alarm.
"Watch out, watch out."
Li Yisen looked up and saw a 4-meter-tall tree trunk crashing into them.
"Depend on."
Lee Esen grabbed the girl and sank into the water. Then, a large tree crashed into the water, not only submerging the two of them but also snapping the rope.
"What's going on? Where are they?"
"I don't know."
Many people were anxiously observing the river when suddenly someone pointed to the riverbed over a hundred meters away, where they saw Li Yisen dragging the girl ashore.
