American comics: Only I know the plot

Chapter 69 Good Things Are Coming

The next morning, Li Wei looked in the mirror at himself with dark circles under his eyes, as if he had been fighting all night, and felt extremely distressed.

"System, disable hearing enhancement."

"System, stop enhancing hearing."

"System, restore normal hearing."

Li Wei mentally shouted several commands, but the system did not give him any response.

On the contrary, the sounds coming from upstairs were clearer, and he could even visualize the scene in his mind.

After a night of passion, the couple were now sleeping in each other's arms in bed, and then the woman turned over.

All of this might have been very exciting if it happened when Li Wei wanted to watch some adult films, but right now, Li Wei just wanted to get a good night's sleep.

As for any other romantic thoughts, he had no energy left after the devastation he suffered last night.

As he thought this, without realizing it, the image of the catwoman's alluring figure flashed through Li Wei's mind again.

"How the hell is this never going to end?!"

Li Wei scratched his head in frustration; the image had been flashing through his mind from time to time last night.

I can't believe they're here so early in the morning. Are they trying to kill me?

Taking advantage of the brief tranquility of the morning, Li Wei finally got a moment to catch his breath.

He quickly fell into a deep sleep on the bed, but he was woken up again after only a short time.

Judging from the sounds, it seems the couple upstairs got up and were heading to work.

With his body and mind repeatedly ravaged, Li Wei lost all desire to catch up on sleep.

He didn't need to go to the police station today, so he planned to go out for a stroll and experience the local customs and culture of Gotham.

Since coming into this world, he has never truly had any close contact with it.

Li Wei carried the kitchen trash, and in fact, apart from some instant noodle bowls, there was nothing else.

Li Wei changed his shoes at the door and gently pushed it open. This was a habit he brought from his homeland; it seemed that very few people in Gotham had this habit.

He had just pushed open the door when he heard footsteps coming from upstairs.

Looking in the direction the sound came from, there was a woman wearing a beige business suit.

After exchanging a glance with Li Wei, the woman quickly turned her head away, a blush rising on her face.

Her shy demeanor made Li Wei doubt his own hearing for a time.

If it weren't for his eyelids still trembling from exhaustion, Li Wei would probably have thought that everything last night was just a hallucination.

She seems like a very quiet person, so why is she so crazy at night?

Li Wei searched downstairs for a long time before finding a trash can and throwing the trash in.

A homeless man was sleeping next to the trash can. I wonder how he managed to get through the night.

Occasionally, some homeless people would appear in his area, and then quickly disappear.

The area where he lives is relatively safe, so he doesn't have to worry about a few burly men suddenly jumping out from some corner at any time.

Li Wei didn't care about this at all. He was burning with anger and was actually hoping that a few people would come so he could vent his frustration.

A gust of cold wind blew by, and Levi sneezed loudly, only then realizing that the weather in Gotham seemed to be getting colder.

Thinking of the homeless man who had just slept next to the trash can, and the thin clothes he was wearing.

Li Wei felt a pang of sorrow, wondering how many people would perish this winter.

Walking down the bustling street, all sorts of sounds kept drilling into his ears.

"Hey girl, wanna grab a couple of drinks?"

Send me a few sets of gear tonight, buddy. I'm going to pull off a big heist.

"You idiot! You can't even handle such a small thing, and you've made us a target of the cops!"

...

Along the way, Li Wei couldn't remember how many people's secrets he had overheard.

Some were arms dealers, some were pimps, and some were planning to pull off some big heists.

After listening to so many conversations, it seems like there are hardly any normal people among them.

It feels great to pry into other people's secrets, but Li Wei is not happy at all.

His brain is like a central processing unit, and his ears are like receivers.

He couldn't remember how much information he had received along the way; his mind was just a jumbled mess.

There's no way to analyze the collected information, let alone use it to help solve the case.

Li Wei was in great pain, as he really didn't know how to use this passive skill.

If he had known that hearing enhancement was such a function, he would never have impulsively tried to extract the skill.

...

The second-floor office of a bar owned by the Falcone family.

A short, stout man with a hooked nose stood respectfully in a corner of the office.

Behind the spacious office sat an elderly white man with sharp eyes and three long scars on his right cheek.

If anyone who knew him were present, they would know that the man sitting in the boss's chair at that moment was none other than the King of Gotham's underworld.

—Carmine Falcone, head of the Falcone family.

He sat in the large boss's chair, his eyes filled with rage, as if he were about to devour everyone at any moment.

"Cotterpad, you mean that bastard let Maronny go?"

"He completely disregarded our demands and refused to sign the warrant for Maronny's arrest?" Carmine began.

The penguin nodded slightly, indicating that Carmine was right.

"Parents, that's exactly what you're saying."

Penguin said, "He rejected the arrest warrant sent by the police outright. I think this guy took Maroney's dirty money."

Penguin added meaningfully, "I think this guy just thinks our money isn't as easy to earn as Maroney's."

Otherwise, it wouldn't make sense why this guy would side with that bastard Maroney.

The penguin's face was filled with anger as he said this.

If you really think about it, he does have reason to be angry.

When Maroni and Scarecrow were entangled before, this guy swallowed up a lot of Falcone family territory.

If it comes down to a contest of strength, Maroni certainly can't compare to a long-established family like Falcone.

However, thanks to the fear toxin given by the scarecrow, Maroni had managed to acquire quite a few good places from the Falcone family.

"That bastard, when Maroni was wrecking our place, he never said anything about this guy stopping!"

Carmine was indignant; in his anger, even his hair and beard stood on end.

"It seems this guy really did receive a lot of benefits; I think we need to do something."

As Carmine spoke, he looked up at Cobblestone, his eyes filled with murderous intent.

"If you ask me, this kind of scourge should be eliminated as soon as possible!"

"Parents, your opinion is exactly the same as mine."

The penguin said, "In my opinion, this guy is deliberately trying to go against us."

When we were being driven back by Maroni, this guy just pretended not to see it.

Maroni is about to be killed, and he's refusing to sign this document.

Why don't you leave this matter to me? I'll definitely handle it perfectly for you.

Carmine took a puff of his cigar, sat in his chair in silence for a moment, and finally nodded firmly.

"I'm leaving this to you and Alberto. If you do a great job, I'll definitely reward you handsomely!"
