Chapter 46 Li Wei was a little embarrassed
"Antonio! You still owe me a game of mahjong!"
Li Wei suddenly shouted this.
He then immediately slipped away from the corner and fired.
But he wasn't hitting a person; he was hitting a lamp.
Almost instantly, the already dimly lit corridor went dark, and at the same time, the SKS gunfire stopped abruptly.
Clearly, Antonio heard Levi's voice and ordered his men to temporarily cease firing to avoid accidentally injuring Levi.
Li Wei, using night vision goggles, really did call out the names of the group of people who had their backs to him, one by one, as if he were chasing ducks.
Although this group had a certain level of military skill, they still managed to organize a counterattack after falling into darkness.
But for Li Wei, this intensity of retaliation was simply a change from "shooting toy ducks in an amusement park" to "shooting ducks flying in the sky with a hunting rifle in the wild."
His only worry was that he might not have enough bullets.
He hadn't expected that the other side had a large number of people, almost a platoon—completely exceeding the original size of the Crippled Gang, a small gang.
However, Li Wei still managed to resolve the problem successfully.
Besides being a sharpshooter, he is also quite good at close combat.
With only four men left, he used the darkness to roll close to one of them, and as he stood up and half-squatted, he delivered an uppercut that dislodged the "magazine" from the man's crotch.
As the man screamed and bent over clutching his groin, Levi pulled out a Glock 19 from his thigh, held the muzzle close to the man's chin, and pulled the trigger.
The first person fell to the ground and couldn't get up, while Li Wei wasn't even exposed.
The muzzle flash from the Glock 19 was blocked by the first unfortunate man's chin.
The remaining three men raised their guns and fired when the screams rang out, but because Li Wei was in a half-crouching position, the bullets not only failed to hurt him, but also caused the three men to accidentally injure each other.
By the time they spotted Li Wei through the gunfire, Li Wei had already raised his pistol and quickly dispatched the remaining three men.
But Li Wei still didn't get up. Instead, he hid behind a cover and shouted again.
"Antonio! Let your men see some light!"
Do you think I'm God?
Antonio's somewhat mocking voice rang out, but soon several people holding burning signal flares threw them into the corridor.
Meanwhile, Levi and Antonio's men tacitly avoided showing themselves, instead pointing their guns and searching both sides of the corridor.
After confirming that there were no remaining enemies, Arafat, who was holding a light machine gun, immediately stood up from behind his cover and cursed loudly.
"Damn it! When did these counter-revolutionaries become so powerful?!"
"Arafat! Shut up!"
Santiago was also there, and he immediately stopped Arafat from speaking.
At that moment, Antonio, who was carrying an SKS rifle, patted him on the shoulder.
"It's okay."
Then, he turned to Li Wei and asked with a smile.
"We're friends, aren't we, Li Wei?"
Li Wei, who had already walked over with a gun, rolled his eyes.
"Otherwise what? Are you going to act like some old geezer who stands you up, only calling others 'friends' when you have something fun to do and then enjoying it secretly by yourself?"
Antonio shook his head helplessly.
"Levi, we're not here to play around. Gris has been captured by them."
Gris Hernandez.
He was one of the four old men Li Wei met at Domino Park and was also a "veteran" of the 76ers.
Levi was deeply impressed by the fact that he dared to bet on Danielle's virginity by using his "little manhood".
"What? That old man called a prostitute but didn't pay, so the crippled gang withheld him?"
It wasn't that Li Wei deliberately splashed dirty water on Gris; the old man was really capable of doing such a thing.
He is the only one in the "group of four" who is over sixty years old and still unmarried.
Gris often had a phrase on his lips.
"A prodigal son like me can never stay in one harbor forever."
Anyway, Li Wei felt that the old man just wanted to have fun but didn't want to take responsibility.
Lustful and unreliable...
This is Levi's main impression of Gris.
Even Antonio didn't refute it, only offering a somewhat helpless explanation.
"This time it's not..."
Goodness, Gris actually did that!
Li Wei was a little surprised.
However, Antonio did not continue the discussion.
"If it's such a trivial matter, there's no need to use guns. I just found out that Gris was captured by those 'exiles,' and they're colluding with the Crippled Gang."
Based on Levi's understanding of Antonio's past, coupled with Arafat's label of "counter-revolutionary," Levi immediately guessed the identity of the "exile" Antonio was referring to.
"Cuban insurgents?"
Antonio nodded.
"Alpha 66, I once killed their former leader on the battlefield, which is why I was personally received by Mr. Castro."
"Now, they've come for revenge. But they're not confident, so they've captured Gris to threaten me first."
Because he's the most unreliable, and also the easiest to catch...
Li Wei could only think these words to himself, since it would be impolite to say them aloud.
However, he soon realized a crucial problem—he had been so engrossed in the fight that he seemed to have forgotten to leave any survivors.
"So, do you have any leads? I can help."
Li Wei tried to cover up the somewhat awkward situation.
Antonio then looked around.
His movement made Li Wei turn his head to one side and whistle.
"Okay, at least the leader of the Crippled Gang, Gatler Reid, isn't here. He must know where Gris is. We can go find him."
Antonio saw through Levi's intentions, but did not expose them.
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go find him! My big gun is itching for a fight!"
Li Wei immediately followed Antonio's lead and expressed his opinion.
but……
"The performance was a bit too much."
Tessa's voice came through the headset.
But Li Wei didn't have time to think about it, because he saw a new blue light approaching.
Danielle Harris.
At that moment, Tessa's voice rang out again.
"Levi, you and Antonio should leave quickly, Danielle should be arriving soon. But don't worry, I only called the police as a 'helpful citizen' to report a gang fight, and I guarantee there won't be any follow-up trouble."
Although he himself didn't care much about these "small things" of cleaning up the mess, Tessa was ultimately helping out of kindness.
What else could Li Wei say?
Of course, saying this might be a bit unfair to the system, making Li Wei seem somewhat hypocritical.
However, Li Wei never denies that he is a hypocrite.
Tessa is a friend, the system is an "idiot"—can these be the same thing?
"In short, let's get out of here first; Danielle will be here soon."
"Going together would make us too conspicuous. Let's meet at Vita Cafe in half an hour."
"Then you have to provide meals."
"..."
Antonio was a little unsure of what to say, but after thinking for a few seconds, he agreed.
"Alright, the Alpha 66's target is me. They won't do anything to Gris until I 'walk into their trap.' We can go after lunch. Let him take a couple more punches and teach him a lesson."
After a brief discussion, Li Wei and Antonio left through the back door.
After leaving the house, they split into two groups and went to retrieve their cars.
Li Wei parked his car not far away, only about forty seconds later, and then he pulled open the driver's seat and started the car.
However, just as he drove his car onto the road, a faint voice sounded from behind him.
Where are you going?
Not Tessa!
The sudden stop, drawing of the gun, and turning around were all done almost in one smooth motion.
However, when he put the gun to the other man's head, he did not pull the trigger.
"Daniel?"
