America, starting as a trainee police officer

In Li Wei's opinion, even if Su's knee is injured and he can no longer play professionally, he is in a similar situation.

With her resume, she should have no problem getting a coaching job at a children's basketball training center.

But why didn't she become a teacher?

Is there no backup plan?

Li Wei disagreed.

He believes it's more likely that her backup plan didn't work.

This is America, the land of the strong preying on the weak.

"Officer Li Wei, do you not support our theory?"

As a police officer, Gray quickly noticed that Levi's expression was off, as if he didn't agree with what they were saying.

Angela also looked at Levi.

While he was patrolling outside, wasn't this guy seriously considering the backup plan? How did he manage to provoke Gray?

"No, sir. I think a contingency plan is very necessary."

Li Wei naturally wouldn't tell the truth; his goal was to get promoted, not to change America.

Even if America is in a bad state, it doesn't really concern him.

"Very good. Being a police officer is a job where anything can happen at any moment. Take that bullet that hit Officer Bradford, for example. If it had been six inches to the right, he would have been paralyzed, or worse."

Having a backup plan doesn't mean you're half-hearted; it just means you're a realistic person.

After saying that, Gray left.

Li Wei watched his departing figure with a hint of curiosity, as if Gray was being a little too concerned about the backup plan.

But that has nothing to do with him.

...

Gray's office.

Zoe knocked on the door.

"Did you need something from me?"

Gray took off his glasses and placed them on the table: "Yeah, my good buddy at the Beverly Hills Police Department just called."

"Around midday, two members of the robbery gang robbed a jewelry store on Cannon Avenue. Dressed as werewolves, they shot and wounded a security guard. They stole $8,000 and made off with the money."

Zoe nodded, not surprised at all: "Well, there's new progress on the two detained prisoners as well."

"Detectives went to the apartment of the 'zombie' perpetrators with a search warrant and found souvenirs left behind by the robbers during their crimes in Dallas and Phoenix last year."

"So, this group is committing crimes while moving from place to place?"

"Hmm." Zoe nodded.

"Given that two of their accomplices have already been arrested, I bet they're planning to pull off a few more heists and then flee far away."

"Then I need to alert the patrol officers and find these guys as soon as possible."

With that, Gray picked up the phone, ready to issue orders.

"Hmm, let's get to the case."

Zoe nodded and left Gray's office.

...

"You can study nursing or go into the information technology industry; there are always all kinds of apprenticeship colleges."

"Is there any easier job training, where the pay can be lower but it has to be relaxed, like a gatekeeper position?"

Hearing Li Wei say that, Angela rolled her eyes: "Really?"

"Hmm, those industries you mentioned earlier, even if they pay well, can they elevate my life to a higher level? No, what's the difference between them and finding an easier job?"

Li Wei was also seriously considering backup plans. After all, as Gray and Angela said, being a police officer was a dangerous job. Even if he had the system, what if he got shot one day and became disabled?

This isn't China; they won't assign you an office job here.

A backup plan is definitely needed.

"Damn, aren't you going to be too extreme?"

Angela looked at Levi with disbelief.

Upon hearing this, Li Wei shrugged.

"Lopez, Levi, the 'zombie' robbery suspect has just changed his mind and confessed to having accomplices. SWAT team is raiding the suspect's residence; we are providing support. Assemble at the office in five minutes."

...

In the office, in front of a small blackboard.

Zoe glanced around the room and saw that most of the police officers had arrived.

She coughed. "Alright, let's begin."

As she spoke, she distributed the two internal arrest warrants in her hand.

"The targets are Steve Bauer and Kay DeVilla. This pair of notorious thieves is rather unusual. Bauer has a criminal record of at least six brazen armed robberies, resulting in numerous additional injuries."

"De Villar was a door gunner on the Black Hawk helicopter, having served two terms of service. He had never been on the police's radar before he hooked up with this Bauer a year ago."

"Remember, under any circumstances, female suspects are far more dangerous than male suspects! Superintendent Lambasser will provide further briefings. He will be in charge of tonight's operation."

[Wanted target detected: Steve Bauer]

[Criminal Offense: Armed robbery.]

[Arrest Reward: Blank Skill Book x2]

[Wanted target detected: Kay de Villa]

[Criminal Offense: Armed robbery.]

[Arrest Reward: Medium Red Bottle x1]

[Mid-sized Red Bottle: Extraordinary item, one-time use, restores 50% of health. Note: This item is ineffective against diseases, poisoning, abnormal statuses, and curses.]

At the same time, Li Wei's system also reacted.

"Thank you, Inspector."

Lambert is a Black man with a very efficient style, and like Zoe, he was a former soldier turned policeman.

"The target is hiding in a house nestled in the hills along Sunset Boulevard. Access is limited. Be prepared to storm in fully armed."

"The first squad is responsible for the main entrance and exit. They are equipped with flashbangs and breaching tools."

"The second squad is responsible for breaching and removing the obstruction at the back glass door."

"For support purposes, you are responsible for the surrounding area. Your assigned locations have been handed over to Superintendent Gray."

"We'll make more detailed arrangements on the way there by car."

"SWAT, let's go!"

At his command, two SWAT teams followed Lambert out of the office.

After the SWAT team had mostly left, Gray arrived in front of the patrol team: "Listen, even if we're not as well-equipped as the SWAT, we can still handle this in five minutes, but the SWAT has put us in charge of defense."

With that, Gray approached the TOs: "Make sure SWAT gets credit this time. I don't want to embarrass myself at the next police station field dinner."

"Yes, sir!"

After Gray left, Nolan couldn't help but ask Bishop, who was standing next to him, "Does the police station really hold outdoor picnics?"

Upon hearing this, Bishop looked at Nolan speechlessly.

"Never mind, forget I asked."

...

At the time of the operation, on the outskirts of the operation area.

"I had to get off; it felt awful."

Nolan made a comment as soon as he got out of the car.

"You're used to it. In these kinds of large-scale operations, patrol officers are always at the lowest level," Bishop added with a sarcastic remark.

Li Wei didn't reply. He just stood there looking at the hillside, wondering how he could have a chance to capture the two criminals.

He wasn't particularly interested in the [medium red bottle], but he wanted the skill book.

He's only at level 1 in [Law] right now, and he still has to take a six-month probationary exam. If he fails that exam, he'll have to say goodbye to being a police officer.

He doesn't want to see a day like that.

In other words, Steve Bauer must be arrested by him personally.

Angela then looked at Officer Nolan: "Officer Nolan, becoming a police officer is your backup plan, isn't it?"
