American comics: Only I know the plot

"Oh dear, Young Master Le is angry."

He Mang glanced at Gao Le mockingly and smiled disdainfully.

"Come on, if it weren't for me, you would have had to restart countless times."

I have only one request: no matter how many people the guild recruits, I want two extra slots.

In He Mang's view, although killing Li Wei would bring some reputation in the short term, gaining two more members could bring long-term income.

In the long run, he did not lose out in this deal.

"Two? He Mang, you really dare to ask for that."

Gao Le immediately refused, saying, "At most, I'll let you get one more. If we can reach an agreement, we'll talk about it; if not, then forget it."

Gao Le put on an angry face, but inside he was overjoyed.

If he weren't afraid of being discovered, he would have had the urge to laugh out loud.

You should know that when he threatened to expose Batman's identity, he truly felt the thrill of his reputation soaring.

The prestige that Li Wei can gain from getting involved in that kind of incident and eliminating him is definitely not something that a few members can obtain.

"Kid, I advise you to get your facts straight..."

He Mang was about to say something when Gao Le interrupted him.

"Don't even think about threatening me. We know each other inside and out. At worst, I'll just start over."

The problem is, once we're out of here, what can you do to me?

He Mang was stunned, and the arrogant expression on his face froze instantly.

"I'm leaving this to you. From now on, when it comes to selecting people, I'll choose first!"

After He Mang finished speaking, he casually picked two of his henchmen from among his group of underlings.

"You two will stay with him and follow his instructions during this time."

...

Wayne Power Company headquarters.

"Gentlemen, it's after get off work hours, you can't go in..."

A security guard stopped Li Wei and Gordon outside the office building and gestured for them to stop.

"Sir, we are police officers, and we have something very important to discuss."

Gordon showed his identification, saying, "I hope you can cooperate with our work."

However, the security guard only glanced at him and refused to budge.

"Chief Gordon, I do know you."

The security guard reached out to stop the two. "Gotham Police Chief, this is Wayne Power Company, not some third-rate bar you usually frequent!"

The security guard spoke with sarcasm, looking smugly at Gordon's flushed face.

"Rules are rules. No one is allowed in without the manager's permission!"

The security guard's attitude infuriated Gordon.

"Security guard, do you recognize me?"

Li Wei stepped forward and looked at the security guard with a smile.

The security guard stared at Li Wei carefully for a moment, then shook his head. "Excuse me, I'm sorry for my poor eyesight. May I ask who you are...?"

"Oh, since you don't recognize me..."

Li Wei smiled and waved to the security guard, "Could you please come a little closer? I have something to tell you."

Li Wei's warm smile lowered the security guard's guard's guard, and curiosity drove him to move closer to Li Wei.

But as soon as he got close, Li Wei chopped him on the neck with a chop, and then he rolled his eyes and passed out.

After taking the keys from the security guard, Li Wei turned to look at Gordon.

"Buddy, we should head up now."

"But..." Gordon hesitated, looking at the security guard who had collapsed to the ground.

"No buts, hurry up and catch up, we don't have much time left."

The two entered the elevator, and Li Wei, after a quick look, directly selected the floor where the duty office was located.

These power supply companies typically have staff on duty 24 hours a day.

When I arrived at the duty room, there was only a bespectacled engineering student sitting alone in front of the computer.

Perhaps because he was too bored working alone, the bespectacled man did not suspect Li Wei and his companion's arrival.

Instead, he became quite talkative, launching into a long and detailed account of his work.

So much so that when Li Wei asked him for help, this guy readily agreed, patting his chest.

"Mr. Li Wei, do you mean you want to check areas with significant recent fluctuations in electricity consumption?"

"Yes, as you can see, this is Chief Gordon. I'm a police consultant, and we're working on a case..."

"Oh, solving cases and catching bad guys? That's fantastic!"

The bespectacled man gave a thumbs-up and then started working on the computer.

The man with glasses was clearly very skilled; he only did a few simple operations on the computer and quickly got the results.

"Mr. Levi, Sheriff Gordon."

The bespectacled man said, "There are only three places in all of Gotham City that meet your requirements. Two of them are construction sites, and the other is a long-abandoned factory."

As far as I know, those two construction sites also belong to Wayne Group, and they have a high demand for electricity in order to meet the deadlines.

As for that abandoned factory, I'm not very familiar with it; logically, there shouldn't be any production going on there.

The bespectacled man's words immediately caught Li Wei's eye. He and Gordon exchanged a glance, both reading the information they wanted from each other's eyes.

After finding out the address of the abandoned factory, the two drove the Raptor pickup truck that Levi had "requisitioned" directly towards the abandoned factory located at 156 Brooklyn.

"Hey buddy, slow down, I'll arrange for the police to set up a checkpoint."

Gordon had a deep-seated fear of Levi's driving skills.

He didn't want to experience that feeling again. "By the way, should we contact Batman?"

"Batman? No need to contact him, he should be in Arkham by now."

"What is he doing in Arkham at this time?"

"Who knows?" Li Wei shrugged, slammed on the gas, and the black raptor sped away.

...

At this moment, on the outskirts of Arkham, a figure moved stealthily in the shadows like a ghost.

Following Robin's escape, security at Arkham has been significantly strengthened.

Batman had barely infiltrated when he encountered three patrolling guards.

After carefully determining the direction, Batman stealthily headed straight for the location of Klein's laboratory.

Fox analyzed the records Robin left in the communicator and, combined with the Arkham map, directly pointed Batman in the right direction.

Perhaps due to the tight security on the outside but the relaxed security on the inside, Batman found no guards inside after entering the storage room that connected to the laboratory.

Following the ventilation duct that Robin had climbed, Batman quickly reached the top of the laboratory.

Looking down through the lattice of the pipe, Batman quickly spotted his target, Klein.

In the sealed laboratory in front of Klein, a man dressed in a hospital gown was currently locked up.

Despite the man's pleas, Klein pressed a red button, and Batman saw green gas emerge.

"You bastard, what are you doing?!"

Batman kicked the grille away, leaping directly down from the pipe opening, and then kicked Klein in the back.

The powerful kick sent Klein flying, landing motionless on the lab table.

The sealed laboratory was now filled with green gas. After inhaling the gas, the man who had been pleading desperately looked at Batman with terror in his eyes.

"Oh, please, don't come any closer!" the man pleaded. "Let me go, you monster..."

As he inhaled more air, the man became increasingly agitated and ran backwards as fast as he could.

He slammed his body against the alloy wall, and even though his head was bleeding profusely, he showed no sign of stopping.

The bloody scene before his eyes left Batman speechless; the man seemed to have gone mad!
