Chapter 252: 251 is itching to make a move

No anomalies.
Lilith’s words were very neutral, avoiding any leakage of personal opinion as much as possible; but Li Wei could still taste the surprise in her words—
It seems that the credit goes to the card that reduces the negative effects of injuries.
Just 10% effectiveness could have such an effect, which made Li Wei even more eager to see the results after a full upgrade.@@@@
However, this was a bodily secret, and Li Wei had no plans to head to Area 51 to find out, whether as a guest or as a guinea pig.
On the surface, Li Wei showed no signs, "So, the power of youth?"
Upon hearing this, Lilith knew Li Wei was joking, with a hint of mockery, but she also believed it to be the most reasonable explanation.
At least, according to the current test data, there were no anomalies.
Perhaps, Reed was right—
The Kansas City Chiefs really did find a once-in-a-decade genius; Li Wei was a treasure, with more surprises waiting to be unearthed, and he might even break the stereotypes people have about running backs in the future.
But...
Lilith quietly looked at Li Wei, her face composed, "I hope you’re not implying anything."
If not, that’s great; but if there was, it wouldn’t be Lilith who felt embarrassed, but the person who brought it up.
Youth, hormones, restlessness.
Li Wei gently lifted his chin, "Ah, you caught me."
He admitted it... he just admitted it... And moreover, without any embarrassment, with that straightforward and frank demeanor, once again taking Lilith by surprise.
Immediately after, Li Wei’s gaze fell on Lilith’s face, "I didn’t expect you to actually catch that."
Lilith was startled, and quickly caught on to Li Wei’s teasing. Her cheeks warmed slightly, but she still held steady, "Did I ever tell you that my dad raised me like a boy since I was a child, how could I not notice?"
But what Lilith hadn’t expected was for Li Wei to nod slightly, "Actually, I knew."
Lilith: ?
She was completely caught off guard. Li Wei’s reactions were always unexpected and unpredictable. What’s up with this man?
Li Wei continued, "Is Jenny doing okay?"
Lilith, "What?"
Li Wei made a wiping tears gesture and then said with a smile, "I don’t mind teaching a girl a lesson."
Rivers: ?
Li Wei explained, "The standard answer should be myself, as every professional athlete’s eternal greatest opponent is themselves. We must defeat and surpass ourselves to achieve breakthroughs. But obviously, this isn’t ’The Oprah Talk Show’, so let’s be more down-to-earth here."
"The only opponent I need to focus on right now is the next one."
Philip Rivers, the Los Angeles Chargers’ star quarterback, is also hailed along with Pittsburgh Steelers’ Ben Roethlisberger and New York Giants’ Eli Manning as the ’Big Three’ of the 2004 draft class. They are also considered top-tier quarterbacks in the League, just below the four elite quarterbacks.
The media reporters had dug a trap, but Li Wei wasn’t going to play their game, giving an answer that veered off the beaten path yet was unassailable.
Reporters, once again, left empty-handed.
Of course, the media still wouldn’t let Li Wei off easily, as one could tell from those clickbait headlines on social networks—
"Li Wei: Brady and Wentz have already become history."
"Li Wei doesn’t plan to focus on the losers, his gaze has turned to the future."
With ease, they portrayed Li Wei on the opposite side of Brady and Wentz, and their fan supporters couldn’t wait to start attacking Li Wei.
And then there was, "Li Wei: I think Rivers is stronger than Brady."
Rivers: I have never offended you!
The innocent Rivers was also dragged into the fray, becoming an unwitting target for New England Patriots’ fans to vent their anger, left without a leg to stand on.
This once again proved a hard truth; with fame comes more trouble.
However.
These news couldn’t affect Li Wei; as soon as the press conference was over, he had already put all those noises behind him and was preparing for the next game.
Your next chapter awaits on empire
Once all the post-game work was finished, and Li Wei reopened his locker to take out his phone, he found, to his surprise, five missed calls.
Four were from unknown numbers, consistent with the previous scam call.
One was from Donald Yee.
Li Wei grabbed his phone and left the locker room, signaled Mahomes, and the two were ready to drive home when he casually returned Donald’s call.
After just a short wait, the call was answered.
"Hey Donald, sorry, but my phone was in my locker the whole time, nothing urgent I hope?"
Donald was still his unhurried self, "No urgency. If there really was an emergency, I would naturally have a way to contact you immediately."
"So, did you just get a call from someone claiming to be LeBron James?"
