America, starting as a trainee police officer

boom!

Fiona slammed her hands heavily on Levi's desk.

"You locked my brother up with a lunatic, what's wrong with you? Are you fucking targeting me?"

Fiona's chest heaved, clearly very angry.

"Well, Los Angeles is a big city, and the police station's detention cells are almost always full. It's just that your brother was unlucky enough to be assigned to the same cell as Marcus, Miss Gallagher."

"Besides, I didn't mean anything by it. I didn't know he was your brother, did I? Not everyone with the surname Gallagher is your family, right?"

"Also, has someone told you that you're really narcissistic, Miss Gallagher?"

Li Wei shrugged. Procedurally, he was indeed fine; Fiona couldn't find fault with him.

"Fuck you!"

Enraged, Fiona gave Levi the middle finger.

Li Wei was completely unmoved by her response and ignored her entirely.

He picked up his pen, ignored Fiona, and began working on the paperwork.

Just then, Tony strode over, holding a document in his hand.

"Rookie, what the hell are you doing?"

The matter that Superintendent Gray called Tony into his office to discuss was not about his alleged abuse of power.

Most of the police officers in the station have done this kind of small thing.

Gray didn't care.

What he was concerned about was that Tony's favoritism was affecting his ability to mentor newcomers.

"Handle the paperwork, sir."

To be honest, if Tony hadn't been a rank higher than him, Levi wouldn't have bothered with him at all.

"For God's sake, you're putting a 17-year-old child with a violent criminal. What do you mean by that? Do you know what the consequences will be?"

Tony was furious.

Although Fiona kept him hanging on, he, being a devoted admirer, genuinely tried every means to please her.

The kind that comes from the inside out.

"Sir, if I may be so bold, we have detained a lot of suspects today, and there simply aren't enough cells in the detention center. If you want to find fault with me about this, then go ahead."

As he spoke, Levi ignored Tony and continued working on his own tasks.

"you!"

Seeing that Levi was unmoved, Tony felt as if he had lost face in front of Fiona and wanted to regain his dignity on the spot.

But before he could say anything, he heard Lopez's voice: "Markovic, what are you doing to my rookie?"

Lopez walked over, stood in front of Tony, and glanced at Fiona beside him.

Many people in the police department knew that Tony was Fiona's simp.

With Lip's name added, Lopez guessed what was going on.

Upon hearing Lopez say this, Tony suddenly remembered that Levi was no longer his rookie.

Strictly speaking, he had no right to tell Li Wei what to do.

"It's nothing. I was just reminding him to be careful when enforcing the law and not to lock up minors with those vicious criminals."

After saying that, Tony pulled Fiona away.

Fiona clearly didn't want to leave; she still wanted to confront Levi. Seeing Tony holding her hand, she looked unwilling: "That's it? Just a reminder and that's it?"

Fiona looked at Tony with a questioning gaze.

Being looked at like that by the goddess he had been longing for was extremely hurtful to Tony.

Unfortunately, in this matter, he could do nothing but verbally reprimand Li Wei.

"Let's go first. I'll have the social workers prioritize Lip's case and get him released as soon as possible."

After saying that, Tony turned around and glanced at the composed Levi, feeling a pang of unease.

Lopez only looked away after the two had walked away.

"Did you do this on purpose?"

She was just curious and didn't think Li Wei had done anything wrong.

"Would you believe me if I said it was just a coincidence, sir?" Li Wei shrugged helplessly.

He genuinely wasn't targeting anyone.

Lip committed a crime, he arrested people, and since there were no empty cells, he was sent to be locked up with Angel Dust. Everything happened naturally.

After he finished speaking, Li Wei handed the report to Lopez.

"Hmm." Lopez carefully examined Levi's expression, grunted, took the report, and checked it.

"Let's go, time for patrol."

...

Inside patrol car 7-A-07, Li Wei sat in the driver's seat.

Lopez was sitting in the passenger seat.

"So, why do you want to be a police officer?"

Seeing that the atmosphere in the car was a bit quiet, and that Levi wasn't saying much except for the radio broadcast, Lopez took the initiative to start a conversation.

At the same time, he mentally labeled Li Wei as someone who didn't like to talk.

"Maybe he wanted to help others."

Li Wei was obviously lying.

In fact, he became a policeman because of his rebellious nature before he awakened his memories.

She's just like Lucy Chen from the same generation.

The two also have similar backgrounds.

Chinese parents of first-generation immigrants.

Chicken parents, chicken parents, and more chicken parents.

Initially, they expected Li Wei to get into medical school, but after discovering that he wasn't academically strong, they lowered their expectations to law school.

But he was really not cut out for studying, and he didn't get into law school.

But Li Wei's parents haven't given up yet. They're planning to have him continue studying for a psychology degree so he can become a psychological counselor in the future.

It's fair to say that the "tiger parenting" mentality is ingrained in their very being.

In the end, Li Wei went against their wishes, broke ties with his family, and went to police academy.

He has no contact with his parents to this day, not even as much as Lucy Chen.

"Really?" Lopez looked at Levi with disbelief upon hearing this generic answer.

Li Wei didn't answer her and stepped on the brake.

Suddenly, a woman rushed out from the front, heading straight for the police. She was now lying on the police car, as if she was begging for help.

Lopez and Levi exchanged a glance, and then got out of the car at the same time.

"Madam, please place your hands on..." Lopez started to say, but then realized something was wrong.

The woman's hands were wrapped in strong adhesive tape, and she looked to be in very poor spirits.

She and Li Wei both put away their guns.

"Ma'am, are you alright?"

Lopez went over to check on the woman.

Li Wei picked up the walkie-talkie: "Patrol car 7-A-07, a woman in her thirties is injured, requesting an ambulance."

"Help...help..." the woman cried and pleaded, without answering Lopez's questions.

"Help me! Help me! Don't let him take me away!"

The woman gripped Lopez's hand tightly, pleading for help repeatedly.

"Who? Who wants to kidnap you?"

The woman didn't answer Lopez's question, but kept repeating that she needed Lopez to save her and not let her be taken away.

...

hospital.

"Pupillary dilation."

Medical staff examined the woman's pupils with flashlights.

"Shh, shh, shh. These people are here to help you, okay? Calm down."

Lopez calmed the woman down.

"Emma..."

The woman lay on the hospital bed, seemingly muttering unconsciously.

"She's been drugged, and her condition is very serious."

The doctor's expression was serious.

"Emma... Emma..."

"Who? Who is Emma?" Lopez asked quickly.

Li Wei looked at the doctor beside him; he seemed somewhat familiar.

Her name tag read Samson.

"Please leave, the patient needs treatment."

Seeing that Lopez was still questioning the patient, Dr. Samson told him to leave.

Seeing Lopez and Levi leave, the woman reacted particularly strongly: "No! No! No!"

"Nurse!" the doctor shouted, pinning the woman down, his tone displeased as he looked at Levi and Lopez. "Officer! Get out! Now!"
