Chapter 1500: Self-deception(1/2)
Chapter 1372 Self-deception
Wang Wei: "Whether or not we go back is a matter for the future."
Wang Wei didn't care about Li Guoli's words. Since he had abandoned his wife and children, he naturally didn't feel guilty at this moment.
"This world is not the place for people like us to be noble."
As he spoke, he took out three thousand dollars from his pocket, but after thinking about it, Wang Wei took back another thousand dollars.
"Now, use this money."
Li Guoli looked at Wang Wei's guilt-free expression, then looked at the U.S. dollars in his hand, and finally shook his head: "Do you think money can make up for everything?"
Wang Wei did not flinch at this moment. He also looked at Li Guoli: "Stop talking, I owe you, and I will definitely pay it back to you!"
When Wang Wei said this, he seemed to have made some determination.
Li Guoli couldn't tell whether he was disappointed or not. He just pushed away the money Wang Wei handed over: "I won't ask for this money. Let me tell you, I will go back soon. Judging from your appearance, you don't have anything to say.
Yeah."
After Li Guoli finished speaking, he turned around and prepared to leave.
When Wang Wei saw Li Guoli leaving so resolutely, he shouted from behind: "Ali, it's not easy for us to meet each other. I don't know if we will meet again in this life. Let's have a meal together."
Li Guoli was a little moved when he heard Wang Wei's words, but in the end, he did not choose to look back: "No need, everyone chooses different paths."
Seeing Li Guoli's back, Wang Wei's face showed a bit of unbearability and a bit of ferocity, but in the end, he still stood there and did nothing.
At this time, a gust of wind blew up Wang Wei's suit, revealing the shirt around his waist and the pistol pressed on the shirt.
In fact, Wang Wei's encounter with Li Guoli was not just a coincidence.
He came prepared.
A few days ago, Wang Wei finally got a chance to stand out. His boss, Santos, assigned him a task, asking him to assassinate someone.
Wang Wei naturally valued this opportunity very much, and he was fully prepared for it.
Although Santos had decided to use Wang Wei as cannon fodder and let him assassinate Li Guoli just to vent his anger, of course he had to feed the horse some grass if he wanted the horse to run away.
So Santos gave Wang Wei 10,000 US dollars as settlement expenses.
After receiving the money, Wang Wei did not spend it all. Instead, he first found a channel to transfer US$5,000 to the mainland to his family.
Although Wang Wei and Li Guoli talked coolly, they were not completely ruthless people.
He spent part of the remaining money to buy himself a set of decent clothes and a black gun.
Although America does not ban guns, regular firearms stores also need to register the identity of the purchaser, and the caliber and kinetic energy of these firearms are limited.
Wang Wei is a gangster. Of course, it is impossible for him to buy a pistol through regular channels.
In fact, Wang Wei's skills are also very good, but he is a very realistic guy. It is precisely because of his own skills that he understands the power of firearms better.
In addition, the atmosphere of gunfights in America is very strong. Previously, Wang Wei was robbed by Johnny and his men. He easily defeated four of them, but when Johnny took out his gun, he had no choice but to surrender.
So for this assassination, Wang Wei specially prepared a pistol for himself as a safety net.
In addition, with the money, Wang Wei naturally also used it to eat, drink and have fun.
After Wang Wei took the money and enjoyed himself for a few days, he was notified by Johnny that the guy he needed to assassinate was finally left alone.
Wang Wei was originally full of pride, thinking that as long as he killed the target, he would definitely become famous and succeed in the society.
But what Wang Wei never expected was that when he got the information from Johnny, he discovered that the target he wanted to assassinate was not the chief of the LAPD, but his junior brother Li Guoli.
Wang Wei is a gangster. He only started to secretly learn English after he made the decision to stay. Even now, he can only barely communicate.
In addition, since he has joined a gang, it is certainly impossible for these people to watch news related to the LAPD.
So these days he has no idea that Li Guoli did not go back, but stayed in America for some unknown reason, and now he has become a city hero.
Wang Wei would be lying if he said he was not envious of Li Guoli's experience.
After all, he chose to abandon everything he had stayed in before, and even joined the gang in order to survive. The purpose was just to stay in America.
What he didn't expect was that Li Guoli, who had originally persuaded him to go back with him, also stayed and became the hero of Luoji Mountain. It seemed that getting a green card was easy.
Because he discovered that the target to be assassinated was an acquaintance, and Li Guoli seemed to be well-off, Wang Wei did not choose to kill the opponent directly, but wanted to talk to Li Guoli first.
It is with this idea in mind that this exchange took place.
But what Wang Wei didn't expect was that Li Guoli was completely out of touch.
At this moment, Wang Wei was completely murderous.
The reason why he didn't kill Li Guoli immediately was simply because this was a downtown area, not because he was merciful.
Since Wang Wei has decided to stay in America, he certainly doesn't want to remain a gangster forever.
He chose to join the gang just to survive temporarily.
At first, he thought Santos was going to kill the LAPD chief himself, so he made up his mind, made enough mental preparations, and wanted to seize the only opportunity.
But now that he found out that the person he wanted to kill was Li Guoli, Wang Wei found that he had a better way.
After all, he was a fellow villager with Li Guoli, and Li Guoli didn't know that Wang Wei wanted to kill him.
Therefore, in Wang Wei's view, he did not need to take too much risk in killing Li Guoli.
Not to mention that Li Guoli also told Wang Wei that he himself was now regarded as a suspect by the LAPD because his ID card was left at the murder scene.
In fact, it was this discovery that was the real reason why Wang Wei did not kill Li Guoli this time.
The reason why Li Guoli chose to join Johnny's gang without hesitation was because he accidentally killed a policeman outside the airport, besides being unable to find a job and support himself.
At that time, Wang Wei was in a hurry to escape, but he actually did not notice that he had left Li Guoli's wallet at the scene.
Therefore, Wang Wei always thought that the fact that he killed the police must have been exposed long ago, and there was a high probability that he himself would be wanted by America.
It was precisely because he thought that he might have been a wanted criminal that Wang Wei decisively joined the gang.
But now that he knows that he himself has not become a wanted criminal, and that he has Santos's appreciation, Wang Wei naturally has a better plan.
Not to mention what Wang Wei's plan is.
On the other side, after Li Guoli and Wang Wei said goodbye, they walked back again full of worries, preparing to go find A Ling and Zhang Pin as originally planned.
Because he saw A Ling and Zhang Pin kissing in public, Li Guoli completely gave up the idea of pursuing A Ling.
In the past few days, because of the LAPD, he gave several speeches in Luoji Mountain, so he felt that his identity was different.
But after the exchange with Wang Wei just now, Li Guoli looked at himself squarely again, and then he had to admit that in fact, he was still no different from before.
In fact, the person he should thank the most for the good situation he is in now is Zhang Pin.
Thinking about what Wang Wei said before about their life and status in the country, Li Guoli couldn't help but take the initiative to enlighten himself. He was a family man, and it was indeed better for A Ling to follow Zhang Pin than to follow him.
The appearance of Wang Wei actually completely eliminated any chance of Li Guoli wanting to stay in America.
Seeing Wang Wei, Li Guoli seemed to see himself.
The two are brothers who entered the martial arts school to practice martial arts at a very young age.
The two were also martial arts champions, and one after another they became the signature figures of the martial arts school.
The only difference is that Li Guoli happens to be in his prime, while Wang Wei is no longer as good as his peak martial arts due to his age, accidents during performances, and injuries.
The reason why Wang Wei tried so hard to choose to stay in America this time was precisely because of this.
Let's just say that this time when he performed in America, Wang Wei actually made a mistake on stage.
In the end, it was the tacit cooperation of their fellow apprentices that allowed them to cover it up.
It is estimated that it was precisely because of this mistake that Wang Wei decided to stay.
Before meeting Wang Wei, Li Guoli still had some illusions about staying in America.
It can be said that people of their generation have grown up listening to various legends about America.
After they grew up, they happened to have the opportunity to leave the country and really see America.
In addition, at that time, the country was still vigorously solving the problem of filling the stomach, so there was naturally some lack of ideology.
If you don't occupy something like ideology, others will fill in.
Because of this, most people of Li Guoli's generation have the mentality of a shepherd dog.
Now Wang Wei has used his own example to tell Li Guoli that with their abilities, if they don't meet a noble person like Zhang Pin, if they want to survive in America, they can only rely on breaking the law and committing crimes.
Li Guoli really wanted to stay, but he still had a certain bottom line after all.
At least if he were to stay by breaking the law, he still wouldn't be able to do it.
In addition, Wang Wei has made it clear that he is unlikely to surrender to help clear his suspicion of murder.
There was basically no hope in pursuing A Ling, so Li Guoli finally decided to go back.
Now he is looking for A Ling in order to formally say goodbye to her before going back.
However, due to the delay in chatting with Wang Wei just now, Li Guoli discovered that Zhang Pin and A Ling had already finished shopping and left the mall.
Li Guoli hurriedly chased after him, but unfortunately, he didn't even see the exhaust gas from the sports car driven by Zhang Pin.
