Dominate the Super Bowl

Chapter 250: 249 scam calls

"Yo, brother, this is LeBron."

A familiar voice came from the other end of the phone, and Li Wei was slightly startled: Who?

Please forgive Li Wei, he really didn’t remember the name, and all the numbers in his contacts were nicknames. Mahomes had once browsed through Li Wei’s phone and laughed his head off, it was like watching a "King of Comedy".

Now, suddenly there was a number and a name that didn’t exist in the contacts.

Li Wei was also full of question marks, is this how modern scam calls operate?

Obviously, the enthusiasm on the other end of the phone did not detect the hesitation and confusion in Li Wei’s silence, and it kept talking eagerly.

"Congratulations!"

"Congratulations, congratulations, your performance today was freaking awesome."

"The second touchdown, wow, God, you utterly crushed the entire defensive group, roar roar roar, any guy who dares to underestimate you must have peed their pants."

"Brother, impressive, really impressive."

"So, how about Los Angeles next week?"

"Next week, I just happen to be in Los Angeles for a while, they just told me you’re playing an away game in Los Angeles next week, how about it? Shall we have dinner together?"

"Actually, I’d be delighted to go to a game, I haven’t watched football live in ages, although it’s different from basketball, it’s indeed a blood-pumping sport, right?"

Rapid tapping, fierce as a tiger’s operation, even without Li Wei’s response, the self-talk was especially joyful, a feeling that could be sensed even through the phone.

Truth be told, it didn’t sound much like a scam call—

It sounded more like a prank call.

Li Wei’s brows slightly lifted, "Sorry, I didn’t catch that, who’s speaking?"

"Oh, haha, look at me, hahaha, my bad. This is LeBron James, I just watched the live broadcast of the Kansas City Chiefs’ game."

"God, your performance was too powerful."

"I thought, hey, that kid’s a lot like me, why not give him a call? So, I asked a few friends, got in touch with your team manager, and he gave me your mobile number." Enjoy more content from empire

"Maybe, we can..."

This time, Li Wei didn’t let the other person finish, "Dinner. A game. Yes, I know."

"LeBron James?"

"Ha, haha, very funny. If you’re going to pull a prank, you should do your research beforehand, I actually prefer Curry, don’t get it wrong next time."

Then, Li Wei hung up the phone and casually tossed it into his locker, shut the door, and locked it.

Turing around, he saw Mahomes’ silhouette, lifted his chin to gesture, "What’s up?"

"Knock, knock."

Someone knocked on the door, and upon looking, it was the physical trainer, Barry Rubin.

Just then, Wide Receiver Hill passed by, about to take his cold bath. Seeing Rubin, he felt a prankish urge and probably screamed while covering his upper body with a towel.

"Ah, there’s a Peeping Tom."

The cold bath room burst into laughter.

Rubin glanced at Hill with a calm face, "My targets are Travis and Li Wei."

Roar. Roar, roar, roar.

Everyone jeered.

Hill didn’t mind and turned to join Kelsey and Li Wei in the uproar.

Rubin grinned helplessly and shook his head gently. "After you finish here, head to the medical room."

Li Wei was confused: Medical room? He wasn’t injured, so why did he need to go to the medical room?

Rubin, noticing Li Wei’s gaze, shrugged, "I don’t know either. I’m just the messenger; they said there’s some testing that needs to be done."

Hill immediately speculated, "The beautiful team doctor, oh yes, the beautiful team doctor is starting to choose her son-in-law."

Then, he changed his tone.

"Sigh, I’m hopeless about this superficial world."

"A top-notch man like me gets no attention, while pretty boys like Li Wei and Travis who just have their looks are so in demand! What kind of world is this?"

Li Wei casually raised his voice and asked, "Tyrek, which three ’top’ qualities?"

Hill did not catch on immediately. "Huh?"

Li Wei gently shook his head, "It certainly doesn’t include good looks or brains, right?"

After that, Li Wei ended his cold bath and stood up, gently patting Hill’s shoulder as he passed by him, offering some consolation, "No worries, you might not win an Oscar, but at least you can bag a Razzie."

Haha.

Amid the laughter, Hill looked up to the sky and sighed, "I’m just too kind."

The response waiting for Hill was a wave of jeers.

Li Wei wasn’t in a hurry, instead, he took a shower, got dressed, and only then left the locker room to head for the medical room.

From afar, he could see at the entrance of the medical room, Safety Berry was talking with Lilith Rosen.

Her blond hair was efficiently tied in a ponytail, she wore a white lab coat, her expression was stone cold, her naturally cool demeanor made sharper by her professional image. Despite many eyes falling on her, no one could shake her; she remained utterly unmoved, seemingly emitting a "keep out" signal even before one got close.
