Aside from the "Gordon Version Enhancement Plan," perhaps Wayne Enterprises could be commissioned to customize some equipment through him.
If he recalled correctly, Bruce Wayne had a good relationship with Sheriff Gordon...
He believed that if Bruce Wayne, as the boss of Wayne Enterprises, asked for something, the company wouldn't refuse the business, even if it meant a loss.
Li Wei's thoughts raced, and a plan gradually took shape in his mind...
The night passed in a flash.
As dawn broke again, only one day remained until thirty million cockroaches arrived at Gotham City's docks.
Gordon had also reported to Arkham Asylum early.
"We meet again, Sheriff Gordon," Li Wei said, sitting in his office chair and smiling at Gordon, who sat opposite him. "Welcome to Arkham Asylum."
"Warden Li Wei, it's good to see you too. I'm not a police officer anymore; I've been transferred here as a security guard," Gordon replied, shrugging.
"No, Sheriff Gordon, you were born for the Gotham City Police Department. You'll go back," Li Wei said with a smile.
Gordon didn't seem to mind Li Wei's words and said indifferently, "I hope so."
He was actually a bit perplexed himself.
He had never expected the entire process to be so simple. Last night, the Police Commissioner had specifically called him to report to Arkham Asylum today.
Based on his understanding of Arkham Asylum and Li Wei, the Commissioner's position alone shouldn't have been enough to force the latter's hand.
Yet, it had worked.
Even if that were the case, perhaps Li Wei wanted to bring Gordon under his wing and deal with him slowly. After all, when Gordon was still a detective, he had caused Li Wei and Arkham Asylum quite a bit of trouble.
But when he arrived at Arkham Asylum today, none of the difficulties he had imagined occurred. Li Wei had even assigned him a very leisurely job.
He only needed to patrol Arkham Asylum daily.
It was that simple, and it would also provide considerable convenience for his investigation into Arkham Asylum.
After all, he could wander around the asylum freely and legitimately, which would help him with the secrets hidden here.
Gordon couldn't understand Li Wei's thought process at all.
Did he not know why he was here? Or was Li Wei foolish?
Don't be ridiculous!
Falcone wouldn't fear a fool like a tiger!
Something unusual must be going on. Although Gordon couldn't figure out why, he could ask.
"Why?" Gordon asked Li Wei, confused. "Aren't you afraid I'll find evidence of your crimes?"
Li Wei smiled and spread his hands.
"Evidence of crimes? First, I'd have to commit a crime. I told you, I'm a law-abiding, good citizen of Gotham."
The crimes were committed by Khada Jhin, Singed, and Warwick. What did they have to do with our asylum?
We are all upstanding citizens here!
"As for you, Sheriff Gordon, why do you think you've ended up like this?" Li Wei asked Gordon with interest. "Are you really a bad person? I actually think you have more of a sense of justice than most people in Gotham."
The brainwashing... no, the Gordon Version Enhancement Plan has officially begun!
Once the Gordon Version is enhanced, Li Wei can confidently increase the strength of the villains! He still had too few people at the moment.
Gotham and he needed more villains!
Bruce Wayne should also make his appearance!
Chapter 65: I'm a Security Guard...
Facing Li Wei's question, Gordon was silent for a moment before tentatively saying, "Because the people above want to frame me?"
Li Wei shook his head. "No, that's just the surface. The real problem is that you don't belong to the people above, at least not in Gotham."
Gordon felt somewhat lost. He felt like Li Wei had said something, but also like he hadn't said anything at all.
Listening to your words was like listening to your words.
Nonsense! Not to mention being one of the people above, even if he could be promoted to Police Commissioner, he wouldn't be dismissed just like that!
"There's nothing I can do. In the Gotham City Police Department, I'm just a detective," Gordon said with a hint of self-abandonment, sighing. "Besides, it's meaningless to talk about this now. I've already been dismissed."
"No, Sheriff Gordon, I told you, you will go back. I think when you can understand the meaning of a sentence, that's when you'll return to the Gotham City Police Department."
"What sentence?"
"Politics is the art of struggle and compromise."
After saying this, Li Wei glanced at Gordon and then gave him no further opportunity to speak, pointing to the clock on the wall.
"Alright, Sheriff Gordon, it's time. You should get to work."
Gordon left Li Wei's office with a head full of questions.
He wasn't a scholar or a philosopher. Before becoming a police officer in Gotham City, he had only been a member of a poster assault team.
The things Li Wei told him were completely outside of Gordon's knowledge.
Politics is the art of struggle and compromise?
Was Li Wei implying that he should compromise? Collude with criminals and gangsters?
But Gordon felt that if the price of returning to the Gotham Police Department was to compromise with those criminals, he would rather not be a cop!
Didn't he become a cop precisely to make Gotham believe in law and justice again?
Meanwhile, Li Wei was closely observing Gordon.
It was within his expectations that Gordon couldn't understand his words yet.
But it didn't matter. The seed had been planted. He believed that with Dr. Leslie's help, Gordon would understand this statement.
The stage was set, and they were just waiting for Gordon to make his entrance!
Only by understanding this statement would Gordon be truly strengthened!
Gordon might be one of the most driven people in Gotham, but this was Gotham. Even public authority and justice couldn't oppose everyone at once.
At the very least, if Gordon wanted to uphold the justice in his heart, he had to learn to accept and tacitly acknowledge certain existences in Gotham, and even leverage these powers.
For example, the mafia, Arkham Asylum, and... the future Batman, Bruce Wayne.
Next, as expected, everything proceeded according to Li Wei's plan.
After starting his job at Arkham Asylum, Gordon began to wander around the hospital, trying to uncover the secrets behind Arkham Asylum.
But Li Wei was prepared, so Gordon naturally found nothing.
Even the elevator in the storage room next to his office was something Li Wei had prepared for, disguising it with various clutter.
Gordon found nothing, but at the same time, he encountered Dr. Leslie, who was also idle.
For Gordon, this was a low point in his life. His job was gone, his girlfriend was gone, everything was gone.
The gentle Leslie appeared in his life at just the right moment, greatly filling the void in Gordon's heart.
It had to be said, Gordon was stubborn, but his attractiveness to women was undeniable.
From acquaintance to familiarity, then to ambiguity...
It only took Gordon less than a day. Of course, the open values of Western society also played a part.
"Tsk tsk, looks like Leslie is going to be snatched up by this guy..." Li Wei said with a sigh of wonder as he sat in his office eating watermelon.
He didn't feel uncomfortable at all. For him now, women would only become his weakness.
The lunatics of Gotham wouldn't abide by the code of not involving family. Without even the ability to protect himself, Leslie wasn't qualified to be his weakness.
Even if he really couldn't handle it, which of those heroines wasn't stronger than Leslie? Oh, except for Poppy and Rek'Sai.
As for Gordon taking Leslie back to his place after work, that's not worth going into detail about.
In the evening, Li Wei was just about to lie down and sleep. Tomorrow morning, the thirty million cockroaches he had purchased would arrive.
But he was interrupted by another uninvited guest.
It wasn't Gordon, nor Falcone, nor Bruce Wayne.
It was...
The Penguin.
"Cobblepot? What brings you here?" Li Wei asked with interest as he poured him a glass of wine. "Is there anything you need my help with?"
Even though the other party had interrupted his plan to sleep, Li Wei showed no impatience.
This was not only because Cobblepot was the intended vessel for his Hero Template, but also because Cobblepot had always avoided him, acting as if he were afraid of getting involved with him.
And now, he was actually coming to him on his own?
"Warden Li Wei..." Cobblepot swallowed nervously. "I do have something I need your help with. Anything at all?"
No one understood his fear better than Cobblepot.
Although the darkness outside the office made him feel as if a beast or some other chaotic thing might pounce out of the darkness and tear him to shreds at any moment.
But compared to the terror in his heart, the eerie environment of the asylum was nothing.
From the beginning, he had a strange fear of Li Wei, like the natural suppression of a creature at the top of the food chain towards the bottom. Even though Li Wei had repeatedly said that he could come to him if he needed help...
After rumors spread in the underworld that the Gotham Beast, Khada Jhin, was from Arkham Asylum, Cobblepot kept as much distance from Li Wei as possible, even taking detours to avoid the vicinity of Arkham Asylum.
And a few days ago, the Maroni Family's annihilation overnight further confirmed Cobblepot's suspicions. It was rumored that Khada Jhin hadn't even made a move yet.
Arkham Asylum was dangerous!
Cobblepot wanted to continue hiding, but now it was clearly impossible. If he wanted to continue his plan, he had to get past Li Wei!
It was just that Cobblepot himself wasn't confident whether Li Wei would kill him on the spot after he stated his request.
Death was not frightening. What was frightening was this feeling of waiting for judgment!
"Oh? What kind of help? Tell me first," Li Wei said with a smile, having already guessed Cobblepot's intentions. "As long as it's not to destroy Gotham, I think I can agree to it."
"Warden Li Wei, it's like this. I want to seize the power of the Falcone family, like putting on a glove, and become the king of Gotham's underworld. I request that you do not help Falcone..."
After Penguin nervously asked this question, as if afraid his words would cause Li Wei to misunderstand, he quickly added another sentence.
"Warden Li Wei, don't worry, I'll give you the same as Falcone, and it won't affect Gotham's current situation. I'll just be replacing Falcone in that position..."
Chapter 66: The Big One Is Coming!
After saying this, Penguin slumped onto the chair as if deflated, his eyes vacant as he awaited the judgment of fate.
This time, to show his sincerity and prevent leaks, Penguin hadn't brought any subordinates or bodyguards to Arkham Asylum.
He felt completely insecure!
Of course, even if he had brought them, they would have been useless against Li Wei.
Well, at most, they would have bought Penguin a few extra seconds before dying.
And that was from Penguin's perspective of Li Wei.
The Li Wei of today was not the same Li Wei they had first met! Back then, he only had the Khada Jhin and Singed templates.
But now, Li Wei had a full seven Hero Templates! More than triple the amount!
