Chapter 65 Li Wei is asleep
After waking up for the first time, Wesker didn't fall asleep at all. Instead, he closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep, eavesdropping on Levi and the others' conversation.
That cunning old man!
With that thought in mind, Li Wei walked over to Wesker and slapped him on the chest.
"Hey! You bastard! I'm wounded now!"
Wesker's complaints were full of energy, showing no trace of being an "injured player".
Li Wei didn't waste any words, he just asked one question.
"Old man, you never do anything without a profit motive, don't tell me you're planning to get involved."
"Of course! Without my little treasure, money, I can't muster the energy to do anything."
Wesker shamelessly admitted it.
"So what are you planning to do?"
Li Wei countered with a question.
Wesker, lying in his hospital bed, gave him a look of utter disdain.
Do you know what a "whale fall" is?
"What is it?"
Li Wei looked completely bewildered.
This gave Wesker his chance.
"When whales die, they fall into the deep sea, forming an ecosystem that provides energy to the barren deep-sea environment and supports the survival of at least 490 species."
Seeing Wesker's smug look, Levi slapped him again.
"Aren't you just planning to kick those guys when they're down and then steal their pants?"
"Whale fall, huh? Do you have to show off your actually limited knowledge? Did you see that in an early childhood education video?"
Wesker immediately corrected Levi, clearly displeased.
"It's not an early childhood education film, it's a science education film!"
"Anyway, you learned it by watching videos, right?"
Levi's words left Wesker speechless and furious.
He felt that this statement was not quite right, but he didn't know how to refute it.
However, Wesker is Wesker after all.
He doesn't care about being ridiculed; what he cares about is money.
"No matter what, you three awful bastards won't be able to eat all that food behind my back!"
"Aren't you afraid of stuffing yourself to death!"
"It's better to die from overeating than to starve!"
Seeing the two of them bickering like children, Tessa couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Thomas didn't laugh out loud, but he did manage a slight grin.
Wesker then added another comment.
"Hey! Li Wei, I think you should trust my abilities and appetite as the former 'Delta Force' and 'former second-in-command of the Li Wei Gang'."
Li Wei thought about it seriously for a moment.
"Okay, you can count me in."
The moment the words were spoken, the "click" of the door lock opening and closing rang out.
Danielle suddenly burst in without warning at that moment.
"What do you mean Wesker alone? Are you guys going to cause trouble behind my back again?"
As soon as she entered the door, she began to question him.
"Damn it! What are you doing here?"
Li Wei wondered if he hadn't checked the Chinese calendar before going out today.
Why am I so unlucky?
Danielle crossed her arms and spoke with an air of self-righteousness.
"I thought about it and I was still a little worried, so I came to visit Wesker to see if I could be of any help."
"Never mind that, what are you hiding from me?"
"Fuck it!"
Li Wei cursed loudly, then added a sentence to Danielle, who was frowning and preparing to question him.
"I'm not talking about you. I'll give Antonio a call. If he can come, we can explain together."
Danielle frowned and thought about it for a moment, then said nothing and simply found a place to sit down.
Li Wei, in a somewhat reckless manner, took out his phone and called Antonio.
As soon as the call connected, Li Wei spoke directly.
"Antonio, come to Jackson Memorial Hospital, to Wesker's room."
"Huh? Huh? What?"
Antonio, who was forcibly woken up in the middle of the night, was clearly still in a daze.
"Jackson Memorial Hospital! Wesker's room! 30 minutes! Important business to discuss!"
Li Wei briefed and clearly stated the time, place, and matters, as if giving a tactical report.
However, he immediately added another sentence.
"Do it yourself, don't call Arafat and the others."
At this moment, Antonio on the other end of the phone seemed to finally come to his senses.
Because apart from breathing sounds, there was no other sound from the phone.
He was thinking.
Li Wei didn't urge him, but simply held the phone and waited quietly.
However, Antonio didn't keep Levi waiting for long.
"Li Wei, how am I supposed to act when you're so incoherent?"
"At least tell me what it is."
"After all, the nature of the 76ers has changed, not that they no longer exist. Many people still depend on them for their livelihood, and I hope you can understand that."
"clear."
Li Wei readily agreed, but then turned the question to Antonio.
"Antonio, once you know some things, it won't be so easy to shake them off."
"You are a veteran of the 76ers and a member of the Li Wei faction, so I think you should have the most basic right to know."
"But Arafat and his group are different; I don't think we should involve them."
"Of course, if you don't want to get involved, you can hang up now and pretend I never contacted you."
"As for the future... you can rest assured that even if you refuse, you and the 76ers will not be treated unfairly."
This time, there was no silence on the other end of the phone; Antonio asked a question directly.
"Do you need me, or the 76ers?"
"I'm just letting you know. Whether or not you let the 76ers get involved is your business."
Levi's words seemed somewhat like an attempt to shift blame, but Antonio readily agreed.
"30 minutes, Jackson Memorial Hospital, Wesker's ward."
"I understand, wait for me."
Antonio, as if confirming the situation, repeated the key points that Levi had mentioned before, and then hung up the phone.
After putting down his phone, Li Wei waved to Danielle, who seemed hesitant to speak.
"I'll explain what happened when Antonio arrives. I need to rest now."
After saying that, Li Wei, who hadn't had a proper rest for several days, lay down on the bed next to Wesker.
Just seconds later, Li Wei's breathing became steady and long.
Danielle, who was about to say something, was stopped by Tessa gently putting her arm around her.
"Let him rest for a while, even if it's just half an hour."
Danielle glanced at Tessa, then at Levi, and said nothing more, simply sitting back down silently.
Wesker had planned to go back to sleep, but after listening to Tessa's words, he said something to Thomas.
"Hey Thomas, can you peel a banana for me?"
"I saw it all; there were bananas in the nutritional supplements you bought."
Thomas remained noncommittal, instead picking up Wesker's medical record and glancing through it.
After confirming that Wesker was indeed fit to eat a banana, I went over and peeled one for him.
"Thanks."
Wesker secretly gloated as he took the banana... Finally, he could legitimately order Thomas around!
That bullet wasn't for nothing!
