Li Wei: fidgets nervously "Of course, she'd pick Vienna. Always had a flair for dramatics, didn't she?"
leans in "So, you knew about the theft and the doppelganger?"
sighs heavily "Knew? I played a part in it, Pearson. I thought it was a prank at first, but... shakes head
frowns "You? How could you let this happen?"
looks down, guilt-ridden "I... I thought I could handle it. I didn't realize she was so determined to sabotage me."
raises an eyebrow "Sabotage? What's your involvement?"
takes a deep breath, looking Pearson in the eye "She wanted to ruin my reputation, Pearson. She had this elaborate plan to make everyone believe I stole that money."
frowns "And you just went along with it?"
frustrated, crosses arms "No! I tried to stop her, Pearson! I warned her, told her it was a bad idea, but she wouldn't listen!"
squints "Then why did you go along with it?"
grits her teeth, defensive "Because I panicked! She had already set everything in motion, Pearson. I couldn't just stand by and let it happen!"
nods slowly "Alright, Li Wei. We'll sort this out together. But we need to think fast."
paces back and forth, thinking out loud "We need to find a way to expose her and clear my name. But how?" pauses, then snaps fingers "I have an idea!
squints "What's your idea, Li Wei?"
excitedly "We can gather evidence, Pearson! We need to prove that I didn't steal that money.
nods "Alright, Li Wei. Let's start gathering evidence."
grabs her phone, starts making calls "I know a few people who owe me favors. I'll get them to help us out."
smirks "You always knew how to get things done, didn't you?"
dials a number, speaking quickly "Hey, it's me. Yeah, I need your help with something... Urgent. Can you meet me at the usual spot in an hour?" hangs up and dials another number "Come on, pick up..."
smirks "You're really turning up the heat, Li Wei."
frustrated, slams her fist on the table "Damn it! No answer!" takes a deep breath, trying to calm herself
chuckles "Relax, Li Wei. We'll find them."
paces around the room, muttering to herself "Where are they? They can't just disappear like that..." stops abruptly, eyes shining with determination "I know what to do!"
leans forward "What's your plan, Li Wei?"
grabs her bag and heads towards the door "We're going to confront her directly, Pearson. We need to get to the bottom of this!"
nods, smirking "Straight to the source, huh? I like your style, Li Wei."
rushes to the parking lot, searching for her car "Where is it? Come on, come on..." spots her car and quickly unlocks it "Got it!"
starts the engine "Let's hit the road then."
As they drive to confront the culprit, an unexpected accident occurs, leaving them both injured and trapped in a car wreck.
groans, rubbing his sore neck "Li Wei, we've got bigger problems now."
struggling to move, wincing in pain "Yeah, I noticed... Damn it!" takes a deep breath, tries to stay calm "We need to get out of here.
winces, reaching for the door handle "Easy there, Li Wei. Let's assess the damage first."
pushes herself out of the car, limping "We need to find help, Pearson. We can't handle this on our own."
grimaces, clutching his side "Agreed, Li Wei. Look for any signs of civilization."
spots a nearby cabin through the trees "There! We just need to make it there!" grits her teeth, pushes through the pain
hisses, taking a step "Damn it, Li Wei. Let's move."
supporting Pearson, struggling under his weight "Come on, Pearson. We can make it. Just a little further."
grunts, leaning on Li Wei "Don't drop me, Li Wei."
grits her teeth, determined "I won't, Pearson. We're in this together. Just trust me."
