America: I'm really not crazy

Chapter 47 Li Wei Flees in Disarray

Li Wei looked at Tessa sitting next to him, seemingly waiting for an explanation.

Tessa shrugged.

"You know, if you park your car in a no-parking zone, Danielle will definitely notice when she passes by."

"Then, you left the car unlocked, and she opened the door, saw me, and got in."

"In addition, she confiscated my cell phone and earpiece in the name of a detective, and I didn't even have time to tell you."

Dry!

Li Wei had to admit that he had forgotten about this—Danielle had a morbid pursuit of "law enforcement".

"I renewed my gun license; Wesker helped me renew it. You were there when Wesker said it, remember?"

Li Wei attempted to downplay the issue.

"It is illegal to offer services to renew gun licenses."

Danielle directly rejected Levi's statement.

However, it is merely a "violation of regulations" and does not constitute a "violation of the law".

Therefore, she didn't delve into the details, but went straight to the heart of the problem.

She first glanced at Tessa, who was sitting obediently beside her.

"A concerned citizen?"

Then, she looked at Li Wei, who had already put away his gun.

"Gang warfare?"

To make matters worse, Li Wei's phone rang at that moment.

Li Wei took out a small amount of the note, glanced at the "old guy" note, and immediately hung up.

But the phone rang again very soon.

"Who else?"

Danielle didn't try to snatch Levi's phone; instead, she crossed her arms and asked a casual question.

Even when Levi tried to hang up again, Danielle spoke first.

"The other party seems to be in a hurry. Are you really not going to answer?"

Li Wei was helpless.

Antonio, I saved you, really, you just had to come to me...

In the end, Li Wei didn't take it, but he directly took out his phone and handed it to Danielle.

Danielle did not refuse and pressed the answer button directly.

"Li Wei, your car doesn't seem to be on the road. Do you need help?"

Antonio's voice immediately came through the receiver.

"So, Antonio, you and Levi teamed up to take down the Crippled Gang, am I right?"

Danielle's voice stunned the person on the other end of the phone for a full minute.

Fortunately, the "old guy" hasn't been wasting his time all these years.

"Daniel, what are you talking about? I don't understand. I just ran into Levi while I was out for a drive with some old friends and invited him to lunch at Vita Cafe."

Danielle took a deep breath and then said something that surprised everyone.

"The police are already searching the scene. I need you to think carefully about whether you left any evidence behind. I need time to process this, understand?"

"what?"

Li Wei was dumbfounded.

Tessa glanced at Danielle with some surprise, but quickly realized what was going on.

Antonio, however, remained defiant.

"I really don't understand what you're saying..."

He seemed to think Danielle was "bluffing" him.

"Bullet casings, footprints, cigarette butts, fingerprints... in short, any evidence that could potentially reveal your identity, is that all there?"

Danielle gave several examples that left Antonio speechless.

They are soldiers, not professional "murderers," and "crime scene handling" has never been their forte.

As for Miami, where they had previously "fought"... the police officers were more concerned with the "case closure rate" than the truth. Besides, decades ago, there weren't as many sophisticated and accurate technological means available...

In the end, Antonio told the truth.

"What you've mentioned... we should have all of these... are there any others... we haven't really paid attention to them..."

"Fine, I'll go see for myself. I'll try my best to steer the investigation towards the direction of 'gang warfare'."

"And one more thing! Next time you decide to cause trouble, remember to let me know in advance!"

After saying that, Danielle threw her phone at Li Wei and got out of the car in a huff.

Why?

When Danielle passed by the driver's seat, Levi finally realized what was happening and couldn't help but ask this question.

Danielle stopped in her tracks.

"You taught me that."

"In America, principles and justice are sometimes not defined by legal statutes... just like Miami legally permits the existence of 'adult zones'."

"And the crippled gang... just because they 'legally pay taxes,' their income is 'legal,' and they even use legal procedures for 'debt settlement' to force those who are in debt to engage in prostitution."

After saying this, Danielle let out a heavy sigh.

"How absurd...more absurd than an absurdist play."

After making this remark, Danielle turned and left.

Watching that receding figure, Li Wei understood.

Danielle shattered her illusions and began to confront her inner self and reality.

She still considers herself a "law enforcer," but she is no longer enforcing the words written on paper, but rather the laws in her heart called "justice and justice."

Li Wei couldn't help but sigh at this.

"I think Danielle's 'condition' has worsened... She really should see a psychologist."

Why would someone choose to be a "police officer"—someone who could get promoted, make money, and have vacations—but instead want to be a "volunteer police officer" with nothing?

Just for "principles and justice"?

"Seriously, if she were worth billions like Batman, I could understand it as 'sacrificing for an ideal.' But she's a 'junior detective' who only earns 7 a year by working crazy overtime. She probably hasn't even finished paying off her student loans yet, right? I think she's more like a lunatic than me."

Tessa smiled.

"I can't make Danielle a billionaire like Mr. Wayne, but with the dividends from several companies, it's easy for her to pay off her loans within three years and become a small-time 'millionaire'."

Li Wei glanced at Tessa with a hint of disdain.

"Are you her 'mother'? Or did you 'infect' her?"

Tessa, however, leaned closer, put an arm around Levi's shoulder, and whispered a question into Levi's ear.

"So...do you want to be Danielle's 'dad'?"

"Forget it, her parents died young."

After making a comment, Li Wei restarted the car.

However, he wasn't as "wild" as when he arrived; instead, he drove more steadily.

Because Tessa was still clinging to his shoulder and wasn't wearing a seatbelt.

Tessa seemed to have noticed this as well, but she didn't get smug or say anything. Instead, she obediently sat back down, fastened her seatbelt, and made a request.

"By the way, when there's a parking spot, pull over for a minute. I'd like to sit in the passenger seat."

Are you a child who is afraid of separation anxiety?

Li Wei couldn't help but complain again.

Tessa ignored him and instead said something to himself.

"If I had known I would be sitting in the passenger seat, I should have worn a skirt."

Tessa's words were no longer just teasing, but could be described as "seduction".

Li Wei couldn't help but glance at Tessa in the back seat through the rearview mirror.

Tessa, however, seemed to have anticipated Levi's actions and stretched "just in time."

She stretched out one arm, while the other hand wrapped around her golden hair behind her head, embracing the other arm, fully displaying her magnificent chest and her long, crossed legs.

"Hmm~"

Coupled with that numbing moan, Levi felt that Tessa's "firepower" was quite fierce, and he had to call for backup.

"Hold on tight!"

Ignoring Tessa's request to sit in the passenger seat, Levi floored the accelerator and headed straight for Vita Cafe.
