Chapter 69 Li Wei's New Rival
Chapter 69 Li Wei's New Rival
Three days have passed since the "disclosure of Luca Sutton's illegal activities," and Luca Sutton himself has been arrested. Matt Damon has also been disqualified from running for office due to the "bribery scandal."
The situation seemed very promising, but Li Wei and his team remained somewhat tense.
"It's too quiet..."
In his hotel apartment in Tessa, Thomas looked at the summaries of messages from various sources on his laptop and couldn't help but stroke his beard.
"Could it be that the Revival Society has completely abandoned Matt Damon and his group?"
Unable to stay in the hospital any longer and insisting on being discharged, Wesker, while searching for his target in front of the liquor cabinet with his crutches, uttered this sentence without turning his head.
"According to Thomas and Levi, even if these people give up on Matt Damon, they won't remain completely inactive."
"Does this mean they don't even want Miami anymore?"
As Tessa spoke, he pressed the remote control, and the entire wine cabinet slowly retreated back into the wall.
Tessa did not intend to let Wesker, who was still recovering from his injuries, drink alcohol.
As the security glass door closed, Wesker turned around resentfully and glanced at Tessa, who was running on the treadmill.
Tessa didn't say anything, he just pointed to the refrigerator.
There is juice and milk there.
There was only juice and milk.
To avoid hindering Wesker's recovery, she deliberately instructed the hotel staff to remove all the coffee.
"Then, the most likely explanation is that those bastards are 'gathering their forces'."
While sitting in front of the living room's floor-to-ceiling window taking care of "Linda," Levi offered his idea.
"I agree with Li Wei's point of view."
"It's like fighting. A punch that's been built up and landed on the face is definitely more powerful than a flustered jab."
Antonio carried the freshly prepared lunch out of the kitchen.
"It was my first time using 'Lafite' to make braised oxtail, and it tasted surprisingly good."
"By the way, Tessa, there's still half a bottle of Lafite left. Shall we take it out and drink it?"
Antonio, who had already served all the dishes, asked this question.
Wesker was about to agree first when he saw Tessa step off the treadmill, wiping his sweat and shaking his head.
"Wesker can't drink now, so let's save it for a red wine chicken stew tonight."
Wesker finally snapped.
"Hey! Tessa, I only got shot in the stomach, it's not like my intestines were ripped out. I think a little bit won't hurt... just one drink, okay?"
At this point, Antonio surprisingly chimed in.
"When we first arrived in America, we hadn't found any trustworthy doctors. Back then, if someone was shot, we'd just down a whole bottle of whiskey as an 'anesthetic'."
"I think it's fine to let Wesker drink less."
Wesker was overjoyed, but before he could offer any support to Antonio, Tessa firmly shook his head.
"It's my wine, I decide. I said no."
Antonio shrugged and gave Wesker a helpless look.
Wesker also lost his temper.
"Then I'll go downstairs and buy it myself!"
"Splash!"
Wesker had just turned around when the sound of a bolt being pulled back came from behind him.
He turned his head mechanically and stiffly, only to see that Levi had finished maintaining "Linda" and was holding a reassembled gun, aiming it at his leg.
Li Wei didn't say anything, but Wesker obediently turned around and decisively admitted defeat.
"Okay, okay, I won't drink it then."
However, he immediately followed up with an episode for Antonio.
"Hey! Antonio, I remember you said you could make ginger soup? And you also said it tastes a lot like strong liquor? Could you make me a pot?"
Antonio did not immediately agree, but instead looked at Levi and Tessa.
But they didn't say anything.
Li Wei removed the empty magazine, took out a box of bullets, and began manually loading them into it.
The way he calmly and methodically pushed the cartridge in seemed to indicate that he was genuinely enjoying the process rather than "working".
Tessa sat down opposite Levi and picked up a spare magazine to do the same thing.
Although it didn't look as smooth as Li Wei's, he still managed to load the bullet in.
This can be considered one of the "training results" she achieved at the hotel shooting range over the past three days.
Li Wei didn't react much, he just silently pressed down on the magazine in his hand.
Seeing this, Antonio only said one sentence.
"Ginger soup will not affect wound healing."
After saying that, he turned around and went back into the kitchen, much to Wesker's anticipation.
"Make some more! I want to chill it and see how it tastes! Maybe it can rival vodka!"
Antonio, however, decisively rejected him.
"Forget it, chilled ginger soup is bad for your stomach."
After saying that, Antonio closed the kitchen door.
Wesker was a little annoyed, but he didn't say anything. He just leaned on his cane and went over to Thomas, peering at the screen on the laptop.
But just one glance at the complex information made him dizzy.
So he prepared to help Li Wei press the magazine.
However, when he turned around, he found that Li Wei had already finished, with four magazines neatly placed beside him.
There are two more, placed over there in Taisa.
Li Wei had already inserted the magazine into his tactical vest.
Out of sheer boredom, Wesker decided to go back to his room, lie down, and sleep to recover from his injuries.
At the very least, he could comfort himself by thinking that he was conserving his energy and preparing for battle, rather than doing nothing at all.
Just as he arrived at the guest room door, leaning on his cane, something unexpected happened.
"Bang!"
The apartment door was flung open, and Danielle burst in.
"Luca Sutton...he..."
Danielle entered the room, clutching her knees, panting heavily, and barely able to speak.
Tessa, who was closest to her, walked over and gently patted Danielle's back to help her catch her breath.
She spoke softly.
"No rush, let's rest for a bit first."
"Would you like a drink?"
Danielle waved her hands repeatedly, looking very anxious, but she still couldn't catch her breath.
More than a minute later, Danielle finally spoke, wiping away her sweat.
"Luca Sutton has suddenly recanted his testimony!"
As soon as Danielle finished speaking, Thomas also spoke up.
"The Revival Association has made a move."
After saying that, he turned the laptop over and showed it to everyone.
One message after another popped up.
The chain of evidence they previously submitted related to the "Luca Sutton case" has been reopened for investigation.
Many of the companies on the list have filed second lawsuits in connection with this case.
Many media outlets reported on this under the headline "Whose cake has been touched?"
.........
Public opinion has begun to be subjected to a large-scale attack.
Just then, Tessa's cell phone rang abruptly.
She answered the phone quickly.
"What? Hmm, I understand. Continue with the normal procedures, I'll handle the rest."
After hanging up the phone, Tessa addressed the crowd.
"The legal department just called me. The application to establish the group and several companies has been sent back for reconsideration. It should also be the work of the Revival Association."
Tessa's voice was relatively calm, but his clenched fists seemed to indicate that he was not so relaxed.
Suddenly, Thomas's computer screen flickered.
A bald, old man appeared without warning.
"Hello, let me introduce myself first."
"My name is Khadgar Portfield."
