Chapter 55 Li Wei didn't want Danielle to follow him.
"Levy, Harvey Rogers' private secretary, Royce Wood, is very problematic. You need to be careful on her end."
Thomas immediately warned Levi when he answered the phone.
"Royce Wood is a pseudonym; his real name is Lawrence Chambers, and his Chinese name is Luo Yi."
Aside from breathing sounds, Li Wei heard nothing on the phone.
Thomas was clearly stunned.
A full minute later, Thomas finally spoke again.
How do you know so much detail?
He told me that himself.
Thomas fell silent again.
Li Wei then took the initiative to speak.
"He wouldn't lie about something like this, just like I wouldn't."
"If it's a lie, it's meaningless, and... not fun at all."
"So... he's the same kind of person as you?"
Thomas's tone made Levi frown slightly.
How much do you know about the name "Lawrence Chambers"?
"The true monster bred from extreme elitism."
Thomas only said this one sentence.
Li Wei, however, was very dissatisfied with Thomas's answer.
"this one?"
"It's too complicated to explain in a few words. I'm about to board my flight to Miami, so let's talk about it when we meet tomorrow."
This time, it was Li Wei's turn to be stunned.
"Has Zhang Qiu's trip to Miami to get a prosthetic leg been brought forward?"
This book was first published on 2020s.com, providing you with a reading experience free of errors and disordered chapters.
Aside from this incident, Li Wei couldn't think of any other reason why Thomas was interested in it.
"Not so fast. The new prosthesis is still in the experimental stage, but everything is going smoothly. If there are no further problems, it can be put into production on schedule."
Thomas's words left Levi even more confused.
"So why did you come to Miami?"
"I resigned from the IRS to come to Miami to prepare for my mayoral campaign."
Li Wei: "..."
Li Wei remained silent for a long time, unsure of what to say.
Thomas waited a while, and when he was sure that Levi had nothing to say, he hung up the phone.
"See you tomorrow then."
These were Thomas's last words.
Despite hearing the disconnection notification sound on his phone, Li Wei continued to hold up the phone.
He simply couldn't understand Thomas's thought process.
Moreover, won't the Galad family interfere with his choices?
"Is there some problem with Thomas that's making you worried?"
Tessa's concerned voice pulled Levi out of his confusion.
"Thomas said he resigned from the IRS and is preparing to run for mayor in Miami."
Tessa was also surprised.
However, after sitting down next to Li Wei and thinking for a few minutes, she came to a conclusion.
"While it is indeed somewhat unbelievable, it's possible that Galard has other plans for Thomas."
"The worst-case scenario is that Miami, Carter Gallard's 'ironclad stronghold,' has run into problems and Thomas is needed to stabilize it."
"After all, he's been away from Miami for too long."
"But in any case, the overall situation is favorable to the 'Group'."
Li Wei remained noncommittal, because he hadn't told anyone about the Revival Society, and Tessa's information was incomplete, so her conclusion might not be correct.
But he still doesn't intend to say it.
After meeting Lawrence, he became even more determined not to involve his friends.
At that moment, the operating room lights went out, and Wesker was wheeled out.
This old guy... he's snoring!
"The patient was lucky; there weren't any major problems, just a ruptured appendix, which I removed on the spot. If there are no further recovery issues, he can be discharged in about two weeks."
After finishing his speech, the doctor walked straight back to the operating room, apparently to prepare for the second surgery.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
"Everyone go back and rest. I'll stay and take care of Wesker."
It was Danielle who spoke.
Li Wei was somewhat surprised.
"When did you two become so close?"
"Wesker... took this bullet for me."
After hearing Danielle's words, Levi became even more confused.
"What do you mean?"
"When you were fighting with that Lawrence, I wanted to rush in and help, but Wesker pushed me aside."
"Then, Wesker got shot."
"He must have sensed something..."
Based on Levi's understanding of Wesker, he felt that Wesker was not "aware" of the situation, but simply wanted to take advantage of the situation first.
As a result, he ended up taking the bullet for Danielle.
However, looking at Danielle's serious expression, Li Wei felt it was best not to expose her.
He was about to do something "not entirely legal, nor entirely polite," using Wesker to keep Danielle occupied, which would also allow him to act more freely.
However, Antonio spoke up at this moment.
"Let me do it. I'm a retired old man with more free time, and besides, it's more convenient for me—I can't expect you to get up in the middle of the night to help him to the toilet, can I?"
"Daniel, if you really want to do something for Wesker, find out who this 'Chambers' guy is and what he's up to. Besides, you need to prepare for your promotion exam, don't you?"
Li Wei wished he could cover Antonio's mouth.
Putting aside the fact that his words were meant to free up Danielle's attention, the path he pointed out to Danielle was the one Levi wanted to take.
He was prepared to investigate Lawrence Chambers's purpose in Miami.
The thought of Danielle barging in with her entourage while she was impolitely interrogating her for information...
This is so damn embarrassing!
Li Wei quickly racked his brains, trying to figure out how to stall Danielle.
But at that moment, Tessa got up and went to Danielle's side, taking her hand.
"Daniel, what I'm about to say might be hard for you to accept, but I hope you'll think about it carefully."
"Whether it's taking care of Wesker or investigating 'Lawrence Chambers,' there are people who can replace you in those tasks, but only you can handle the promotion exam. Do you understand?"
Danielle did not refute, but considered it seriously.
"I understand. The higher my position, the easier it will be for me to get things done. I will focus on preparing for the exam."
Tessa nodded, then looked at Antonio.
"Antonio, you can come to see Wesker often, but you shouldn't always be by his side."
"Don't forget, it's not just Wesker who needs your care."
Antonio thought about it for a moment, then nodded.
Indeed, the entire Little Havana community is not only his "sphere of influence" but also his "second home," where many of his compatriots need him.
Moreover, he still has to be wary of the Alpha 66, and staying here could easily cause Wesker trouble.
However, he still couldn't let go of Wesker, after all, he got along well with Wesker and had already considered him a friend.
"But what about Wesker?"
Tessa smiled after hearing Antonio's words.
"I plan to hire a full-time caregiver. I think professionals will know better than us how to take care of an injured person."
"Okay, you're right."
Antonio was speechless.
Li Wei was relieved.
Although it was different from what was expected, the actual effect was about the same.
But at this moment, Tessa suddenly continued to speak.
"I've already handed over the matter of establishing the group to my lawyer, and I happen to be free right now."
"Li Wei didn't have anything important to do."
"So, it's fine for just us to stay here."
After saying that, Tessa glanced at Levi and asked him a question in return.
What do you think?
However, to Li Wei, that gaze seemed to have a deeper meaning.
