PDLP Chapter 88 4-Season Hotel
Chapter 88 4-Season Hotel
At nine o'clock in the morning, the sunlight shone on the glass curtain wall, making the seventy-story building look like a sharp blade cutting through the sky of the entire financial district.
Looking at the luxurious building, Li Wei couldn't help but mutter something.
"Damn rich people..."
Thomas, who had just parked his car, happened to hear this.
"What's wrong?"
Li Wei glanced at Thomas's slightly puzzled expression and rolled his eyes.
"I didn't call you."
"oh."
Thomas gave a casual reply and then asked for Levi's opinion.
"The agreed meeting place is the EDGE restaurant on the top floor. Should we go up now or get ready a bit more?"
Li Wei didn't reply. Instead, he pressed his earpiece and began asking how the tactical plan he had set out yesterday was being executed.
"Each group reports on its progress."
Antonio's voice rang out first.
"The assault team is in position, but the situation on site is more complicated than originally expected. The enemy has not booked the entire floor of the restaurant."
"The good news is that we have successfully blended in with the guests, and the space is now much closer together."
"But the bad news is that, based on the current situation, the arrival time of the assault team after the fighting begins will be extended to five minutes."
"Another problem is that if a fight breaks out, we need to consider whether innocent guests will be injured, so some of the heavy weapons that Arafat prepared will be useless."
Li Wei lowered his eyebrows slightly, thought for a moment, and then made a decision.
"Then proceed with Plan B. The assault team will be converted into a fire support team and will no longer be responsible for the support mission, but will instead be responsible for the containment mission."
"Received, understood. Plan B: contain the enemy."
Antonio repeated the task and then ended the report.
Then, Tessa's voice rang out.
"The technical support team is operating smoothly. Is any adjustment needed?"
Li Wei's reply was equally concise.
"No need, the technical support team will proceed as planned."
"Received. The technical support team will proceed as planned, creating chaos on time to provide opportunities and cover for the main force."
After Tessa finished his report, Levi, somewhat impatiently, took the initiative to inquire about Wesker's side.
"Sniper support team, report. Don't tell me you guys fell asleep on the roof because of the nice weather."
Instead of responding to Levi, Wesker spoke very seriously for an entire episode.
"Wait a minute, I need to confirm something with number 2."
Li Wei frowned, but did not disturb him.
Soon, Santiago's voice came through the communication channel.
"Sniper support team positions 2 and 1 have been confirmed; the mission target is on site."
"and……"
Santiago paused, as if he was carefully choosing his words.
But Wesker said it outright.
"The mission objective is not subject to any restrictions."
Li Wei's brows furrowed even deeper.
Levi had considered the possibility of Danielle being present, but the fact that she wasn't brought under control was truly unexpected.
If she wasn't being controlled, why didn't Danielle resist or run away?
Could it be that Danielle defected to the enemy?
This is really illogical.
Li Wei subconsciously glanced at Thomas, after all, he was the one among them who knew Alex Damon the best.
Thomas understood what Levi meant, and her answer was quite straightforward.
"I don't know either."
"Alright."
Li Wei did not express his dissatisfaction, nor did he continue to ask questions.
"Attention all groups, the main force is about to enter the Four Seasons Hotel. Stand by as planned and await orders."
"Received!" x3
After receiving a reply, Li Wei tidied his clothes.
Today he specially wore a newsboy cap, and even changed into a jacket instead of a windbreaker to match the hat.
He lifted his hat, pulled out a Glock 26, cocked it, and checked if the feeding was smooth.
He put the gun back into his hat and put it on top of his head.
Then, Levi looked at Thomas.
Thomas didn't say anything, but instead, with perfect understanding, he lifted his newsboy cap and showed Levi the three spare magazines inside.
Li Wei nodded and asked a question.
"Are you wearing your bulletproof vest?"
Thomas nodded, but then immediately asked a question.
"Li Wei, are you sure you don't need to wear it?"
"It will affect flexibility."
Li Wei said something, opened the car door, and got out.
Thomas got out of the car as well, but after getting out, he couldn't help but say something.
"Li Wei, if necessary, you can use me to block bullets for you, since I'm wearing a bulletproof vest."
"Of course, I'm talking about necessary situations; if you can avoid blocking, then try not to..."
Li Wei glanced at Thomas's expression of heroic sacrifice and his somewhat hunched-over gesture, and couldn't help but chuckle.
"You have to believe in my abilities."
"Things won't get that bad."
"Let's go."
After saying that, Li Wei turned around and closed the car door, then walked towards the entrance of the Four Seasons Hotel.
Thomas immediately followed.
On the way, Thomas opened his mouth, but finally decided to speak his mind.
"Just in case, you should prepare for this. I will also prepare for it."
"However, could you please try not to break any bones? After all, I'm going to start my speaking tour and campaigning in a couple of days."
Li Wei stopped and turned to look at Thomas.
Thomas felt a little uncomfortable under Levi's gaze.
"What's wrong? Did I do something wrong?"
Li Wei put his arm around Thomas's shoulder and playfully punched him in the chest.
"Don't worry, Thomas, I will protect you just like I protected Zhang Qiu. After all, you are both my friends."
Thomas blinked, but instead of showing any joy, his face was full of bitterness.
"Li Wei, don't do this."
"You're being really cheesy, and it's so unlike you."
"You make me feel like we're doomed, just like in the movies."
"Two people who finally became friends ended up falling together on the battlefield... It's very unlucky."
Li Wei rolled his eyes speechlessly.
"You American 'old money' actually believe in this?"
"But it really feels like a movie plot..."
Levi didn't want to continue the conversation. In his view, Thomas was simply experiencing "rookie nervousness" from his first direct confrontation with a enemy.
So he simply put his arm around Thomas and continued walking towards the entrance of the Four Seasons Hotel.
However, he still offered Thomas a somewhat perfunctory consolation.
"There's nothing to worry about. As for your déjà vu issue..."
"Hmm... I don't know if you've ever heard this saying?"
"Art originates from life, but transcends it."
Thomas looked at Levi's nonchalant expression and didn't know what to say.
He knew that Li Wei was just giving him the runaround, and doing so very casually.
However, when Thomas thought about the past, he suddenly felt that his worries were indeed somewhat unnecessary.
Whether it's worrying about Levi, or worrying about themselves or Danielle.
"Okay, I understand. I will protect myself as planned."
