Chapter 21 Li Wei got the money
How much is Li Wei's total net worth?
$300,075 or $75.
The $30 difference depends on whether the bank takes back his house.
Yes, the apartment Levi lives in now is one he bought, not one he rents like most of his American peers.
As a native Seresian before his transmigration, Li Wei, like most Seresians, bought a house after becoming wealthy.
This stems from the Seres people's deep attachment to "home".
However, this also used up all of Li Wei's money, because he didn't like being in debt and bought it in full.
However, he later had to mortgage the house again to pay for medical treatment.
The remaining $75 was what he and Wesker had left over from another job they pulled off a couple of days ago.
Although Thomas provided the vast majority of the equipment and funding, there were some sensitive items that he couldn't obtain or that required time to acquire.
For example, intelligence, foreign equipment, and some special military munitions.
At that time, Levi's trust in Thomas was quite limited, so he didn't use Thomas's money.
Looking back now, Li Wei felt somewhat frustrated—if he had known Thomas was so easy to bully, he wouldn't have been so polite to him; that $80,000 could have filled his apartment with toys.
But thinking about these things now is pointless; what's important is how to make money.
Leaving McDonald's and walking the streets of Miami under the night sky, Levi had an idea in just five seconds.
grab!
It must be said that people have a tendency to be lazy and can develop path dependence.
Even Li Wei was not immune.
However, the question of who to rob still gave Li Wei a lot to think about.
Robbing a bank?
Although there had been "successful" experiences before, it had been too commotion and time-consuming. Keeping Wesker and Thomas waiting for too long would make him seem impolite.
Kidnapping someone?
This is a complete joke. In this godforsaken place where the average person has less than 200 yuan in savings, even if you successfully robbed someone, it probably wouldn't be enough to pay for a full meal at McDonald's. If you're going to commit multiple robberies just to reach the required number, you might as well rob a bank!
Just as Li Wei was having some doubts, he turned around and stepped across the street corner, where he saw a car parked on the side of the road with its hazard lights on.
Ok?
Li Wei immediately became interested.
As he moved closer, he witnessed the other party exchanging money for goods.
Local gangs are "selling goods"!
These guys have cash flow, so if they get robbed, they can't call the police. That's great!
Li Wei instantly decided on his target.
"Knock knock!"
"Hey guys! Can you please get off the bus?"
Li Wei walked to the side of the car and tapped on the driver's side window.
The people in the car were clearly taken aback.
But the next moment, a gang member with natural camouflage in the night stepped out of the driver's seat.
"Hey! You yellow-skinned bastard, wanna eat bullets?"
Gang members pulled out guns from their waists, pressed them against Li Wei's head, and brought their faces close, threatening him menacingly.
It fits the stereotype quite well.
But what Li Wei was concerned about was that the other person was not only impolite, but also had rotten teeth and bad breath.
Selling drugs to support addiction is a "classic model" in the United States.
Unable to stand the smell, which resembled a backflow of sewage, Li Wei grabbed the bolt of the other man's gun, preventing the firing pin from being fired while simultaneously twisting it with his other hand.
The gun was instantly in Li Wei's hands and loaded.
"Please hand over the money. I'm in a hurry. Thank you for your cooperation."
Unlike the gang members' seemingly fierce gun-holding movements, which could easily blind them when the gun is ejected, Li Wei's action of pointing the gun at his head can only be described with one word—standard.
That gang member might not be a great shot, but he certainly has a good eye for talent.
He offered no resistance whatsoever, simply raising both hands above his head.
"The money and goods are inside my jacket, sir, please don't hurt me!"
Seeing how cooperative the other party was, Li Wei nodded in satisfaction.
But just as he reached in and touched the money, the man in the passenger seat suddenly got out of the car, lay on the roof, and aimed his gun at Li Wei.
"Thomas Gallard! You're under arrest!"
It was only then that Li Wei realized that the person buying the goods in the passenger seat was the blonde policewoman he had met a few days ago.
However, the other party had clearly disguised himself, even dyeing his hair brown, so he hadn't noticed before.
"Damn it! You're a cop!"
The gang member looked indignant.
"Hey buddy! Let's team up, grab this bitch, drag her into the car, have some fun, then send her to do striptease, make some porn, what do you think of that idea?"
Li Wei immediately responded by smashing his face with the butt of his gun.
The gang member swayed his neck and collapsed onto the car roof, spitting out several teeth.
He immediately became obedient.
"That's terrible advice, and extremely rude."
After saying that, Li Wei ignored the gang member and shrugged at the policewoman.
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have interrupted your 'entrapment' operation, but I'm really in a hurry right now. Let's talk again next time we meet, okay?"
"Put the gun down, lie face down, and put your hands behind your head! Don't make me repeat myself!"
Hearing the familiar words, Li Wei sighed helplessly.
Has your boyfriend ever told you that you're being a bit too clingy?
"Bang!"
The policewoman fired, but instead of hitting Li Wei directly, she hit the lamppost behind him.
"If you don't do as I say, the next shot will be on your crazy head!"
The policewoman had clearly learned her lesson and stopped wasting words with Li Wei.
Li Wei got angry.
But it wasn't because the policewoman shot him, it was because she called him a lunatic.
He can admit that he might be a tiny bit different from ordinary people in a universal sense.
But he is definitely not mentally ill!
He was simply enjoying every second of his life.
So, Li Wei also fired a shot.
"Bang bang bang!"
Three rapid shots.
The first shot hit the gun in the policewoman's hand, rendering the Glock 17, which was mainly made of engineering plastics, unusable.
As the policewoman could no longer withstand the impact and raised her hand, a second shot followed, sending the already damaged Glock 17 flying into the air.
When the third shot hit, the Glock 17 finally gave way and, like a shower of petals, scattered in mid-air.
The policewoman stared in disbelief at the scene until the trigger, which had detached from the gun, struck her forehead, bounced, and fell to the ground. Only then did she come to her senses.
She swiftly pulled out her spare weapon, preparing to aim at Li Wei again—this was also a "new habit" she had developed after learning from her previous experience.
However, the policewoman discovered that Li Wei was gone.
"Which way did he run?"
The policewoman immediately questioned the gang member.
After being stabbed hard by Li Wei and having his money stolen, the gang members pointed out the direction without hesitation.
The policewoman immediately took off in pursuit.
Seeing this, the gang members quickly tried to get into the car and drive away.
But as soon as he opened the car door, he felt a tingling sensation all over his body and collapsed to the ground, unable to get up.
"I almost forgot about you."
The policewoman, who had left but then returned, put away her Taser and chased after Levi in the direction he had gone. At the same time, she took out her phone to report the situation to the Miami Police Department, request backup, and pick up the drug dealer who had collapsed on the roadside.
After putting down her phone, the policewoman gave herself a mental pep talk.
"Daniel Harris, you can do it! You can catch that damn 'Thomas Gallard'! Just like Daddy caught that drug lord Orlando Cecilia!"
