America, starting as a trainee police officer

Chapter 89 Disobeying Orders

"We're the LAPD, not the Secret Service. Let's go, rookie."

Lopez directly defied Danfoss's orders.

After all, her direct superior was Grey, and as long as Grey didn't cause her any trouble, a Secret Service agent didn't have the authority to interfere with her.

As for Gray...

There is absolutely no way he would fire Lopez just because she went to save her colleague.

Or rather, the entire LAPD will cover for Lopez.

Being a police officer is dangerous enough. If even officers who disobey orders to save their colleagues are severely punished, I'm afraid no one will want to become a police officer again.

Of course, a minor disciplinary action or something similar is probably still necessary.

No matter what, it was a slap in the face to the Secret Service, so they had to make a gesture.

In a small alley.

Following the location given by the dispatch center, Li Wei and Lopez drove their police car into the area.

The terrain here is narrow, and there's another vehicle blocking the way ahead.

Li Wei had no choice but to slam on the brakes and stop the car.

boom! boom! boom!

As soon as the car came to a stop, two robbers emerged from a licensed marijuana store diagonally across the street and began firing incessantly in Li Wei's direction.

That won't do.

Without saying a word, Li Wei opened the car door.

[First shot guaranteed to hit] Triggered.

A shot hit both hands of one of the robbers.

boom!

After being shot, the robber bled profusely.

His companions had no choice but to drag him back inside.

The attack has temporarily ceased.

"Well done, Li!"

Nolan, who was hiding in the bunker, praised the sight.

As soon as the sound faded, one of the robbers outside the store fired several shots at Nolan.

boom! boom! boom!

Nolan shrank back.

"There's a wounded soldier here, bleeding heavily, he needs to be taken to the hospital!"

Lopez pondered for a moment after hearing Nolan's words.

Given her personality, she would definitely send the wounded to the hospital first.

Li Wei quickly interjected, "Nolan! Was it Bishop who was injured?"

Upon hearing Li Wei's words, Lopez stopped himself from saying what he was about to say.

"No! It was one of the robbers."

"Then let's move him to a safe place first; we don't have enough firepower!"

Let's assume Li Wei is an ordinary policeman. There are only four of them facing three robbers, two of whom are hiding in a building.

It's clear from any angle that the firepower is insufficient.

If someone is sent to take the injured robber away, the remaining police officers may even be in danger.

"OK! Got it."

Nolan didn't know why he had to obey Levi's orders, even though they were equals, he just wanted to listen to him.

Bang bang bang!

The last robber outside suddenly opened fire, using it as cover for himself, and rushed into the marijuana store.

"What do we do now? They're holed up inside and won't come out. Should we rush in?"

After observing the situation, Nolan looked at the others with some uncertainty.

"No! We'll drive them out!"

Li Wei shook his head, lowered his body, and went to the trunk of the police car.

They brought out Lopez's favorite 40mm caliber howitzer.

Of course, they were equipped with tear gas, not tactical grenades.

"This is your favorite, would you like some?"

As he spoke, Levi handed the howitzer to Lopez.

Lopez smiled as he accepted the grenade launcher: "Hellyea!"

boom!

Two shots in quick succession.

Two tear gas canisters were fired inside the marijuana store.

After a while, the entire store was filled with the pungent smell of tear gas.

The three robbers couldn't take it anymore and rushed out.

"Put your hands where I can see you! Kneel down! Face the direction of the sound!"

Li Wei and the others had already surrounded the entrance.

After all, robbers are just robbers; at worst, they can just sign a confession and be released.

Why gamble with your life?

They immediately knelt on the ground, and except for the one whose hand was injured, the rest put their hands behind their heads.

Li Wei then stepped forward, picked out a robber whose reward was a blank skill book, and handcuffed him.

"Li, he's almost unconscious, get him to the hospital quickly."

At that moment, Nolan looked at the other robber he had pulled to a safe position and shouted something.

Upon hearing this, Lopez glanced at the body and realized it was indeed on the verge of collapse.

"Li! Let's go!"

As she spoke, she quickly went to the robber's side, pulled him up, and sat with him in the back seat of the police car.

Li Wei then got into the driver's seat and stepped on the gas, reversing the car out of the alley.

"7-A-07, notify George Bernard Shaw Memorial Hospital that we are taking a teenager to the hospital, a five-minute drive away."

Shot in the neck.

It was only then that Li Wei realized that the robber was a young man.

"7-A-07, received. The hospital has been notified and is ready to receive the patient."

"Five more minutes?"

In the back seat, Lopez looked ahead at the road.

"least."

Li Wei nodded.

"He can't wait five minutes!" Lopez said, then thought for a moment, "Is there any way to take a shortcut?"

Li Wei didn't say anything, and pressed the floorboards shut. The car suddenly accelerated and veered towards the sidewalk.

Anyway, the road is closed today, and there's no one on the sidewalk.

Seeing Levi's aggressive move, Lopez didn't say anything.

She would have done the same thing.

In her view, the robbers' lives mattered too.

At the hospital, Lopez finally breathed a sigh of relief after handing the robber over to the doctor.

"Huh—it seems today is finally coming to an end."

Judging by the time, the vice president should be leaving soon.

Lopez breathed a sigh of relief.

"Huh? Isn't that Lucy? What's she doing at the hospital?"

Lopez then saw a person through the blinds: Lucy sitting anxiously in the waiting area.

"I'll go see what's going on."

Li Wei glanced at Lucy. Although he didn't particularly like this "banana girl," she was, after all, a comrade-in-arms, and who knew when he might have to betray her.

It would be better to go and see what's going on.

Hey, what are you doing at the hospital?

Li Wei walked over and sat down next to Lucy.

"Oh—hey—Li."

After greeting everyone, Lucy gave a wry smile: "I got pricked by a syringe used by a homeless person on the street this morning. An accident—so—now I can only wait for the results—"

Hearing this, Li Wei understood what was going on.

Who knows what kind of virus these wild needles carry?

Anyone would be terrified.

What if it carries HIV or something?

Of course, HIV is transmitted through blood, so it's unlikely that there was any blood on the needle.

But it's hard to say about diseases like syphilis or genital warts.

To be honest, Li Wei almost said "Please accept my condolences" but then he thought about it and realized that the test results weren't out yet.

Police station.

"Superintendent Gray, are you free?"

Danfoss walked up to Gray with an angry expression.

"Of course. Has the 'Redwood' flight taken off?"

Danfoss nodded: "Yea is flying back to Washington."
