Chapter 172

"Oh..."

Mathilda's eyes were very lively; she secretly sized Ye Li up a few times and took back the large bottle of drink in her little hand, "Don't like this kind..."

"757" she asked Jessica again, "Jessica, I heard a gunshot, what happened?"

"Ah, almost forgot! A very serious murder case happened here! A family of four was killed!"

Jessica said excitedly, "I've already knocked out those gang murderers and called the police, but I'm not sure if any leaked out... it's not safe here for now, you guys should leave first!"

"Murder case?

A family of four?"

After hearing this, Mathilda guessed something, stepped on the spiral staircase, and ran upstairs.

Jessica was confused: "What's wrong with her?"

Ye Li asked: "Jessica, do you know Mathilda's detailed family situation?"

"I don't know, I only know her family treats her very badly and often beats her."

Jessica said with a pained expression, "I always see injuries on her, but I can't manage other people's family affairs, I can only help her treat the wounds..."

Ye Li blinked: "..... Then after you knocked out those gang members, did you look at the scene situation......"

"No.

After I kicked the last person out of the room... I saw you guys enter downstairs... eh, that's right!"

Jessica realized, "Brother, you reminded me, I still have to collect evidence from the scene!"

After saying that, she also ran upstairs...

"Sigh...."

Watching his sister, whose detective obsession had flared up.

Ye Li rubbed his forehead and sighed.

No wonder Jessica could be so calm in front of Mathilda; she didn't know that the ones killed were Mathilda's family...

Hammer Industries control room.

Click tap da da——

Natasha typed on the keyboard and contacted Stark: 【I have retrieved control of Colonel Rhodes' armor, but Ivan Vanko, who was swapped out of prison by Justin Hammer, is gone.】

At the same time.

Seeing his armor regain control, Rhodes also said happily: 【Oh! Tony! I'm fine!】

【Hey! Watch your wording】

Tony pushed Rhodes, who was pressing on him, away: 【Don't let the lady misunderstand.】

【Don't be happy too soon】

Natasha checked the monitoring program and said: 【A target is approaching you, the energy value is particularly high!】

Whoosh——!

Following Natasha's reminder.

Bang~

Ivan Vanko drove his new "Whiplash" armor and landed in front of Rhodes and Tony.

He mixed English with Russian and declared war on Stark, "Good, Tony, I'm alive, you're going to die."

【Situation is not good】

【I'm going to use a special weapon to deal with him】

Rhodes deployed the missile launcher on his shoulder armor: 【Let me use the "Ex-Wife" missile to dismantle his suit】

Tony: 【Use what?】

The next moment.

Whoosh————Ding~

"..."

Looking at the "Ex-Wife" missile that fell into the water and sparked, Tony and Rhodes both fell into a silence...

Tony: 【Hammer Industries' weapon?】

Rhodes: 【...... Yes...】

Slum.

"How could this be..."

Mathilda looked at her brother lying in a pool of blood, crystal liquid sliding down her cheeks...

"Mathilda....."

Jessica used a rare gentle expression to comfort this poor girl.

She also just found out that the ones killed were Mathilda's family, and couldn't help but empathize with Mathilda...

Fortunately, she met Li.

And Mathilda now had nothing.

Just like her when she had the car accident...

【Huh, just like me...】

Jessica thought, and her clever little head suddenly flared up again.

She looked at the crying Mathilda, then looked at Ye Li, who was leaning against the wall doing nothing...

"Why are you looking at me.....?"

Ye Li was sucking on a lollipop (stolen from Mathilda's room), and saw his sister looking at him; it was obvious she was up to no good...

"Haven't spanked you for a long time, is it itchy....?"

"Ugh!"

Jessica reflexively covered her backside, then leaned in and whispered, "Li.... do you plan to...... raise another sister? ~"

Ye Li rolled his eyes, "Do you think our home is a shelter for young girls?"

"Don't be like that, Li~"

Jessica hugged her brother's arm and rubbed against him coquettishly, "Just let Mathilda live with us, I'll take care of her, I can let her be an assistant at my detective agency~"

Bang~

Ye Li flicked her on the forehead, "You really have a way of thinking, let an ordinary girl go to your detective agency that's opened outside Hell's Kitchen?"

Jessica covered her head and said aggrievedly, "Because she originally lived inside, I forgot for a moment... besides, being an assistant doesn't necessarily mean being at the detective agency, she can help me organize data at home or something."

The siblings were discussing here.

Mathilda had been listening quietly on the side.

She knew this would determine her fate...

She really wanted to be with sister Jessica...

"Fine, fine."

Ye Li was annoyed by Jessica's chattering for a long time and finally agreed, "But you said it, you are responsible for taking care of Mathilda, anyway you are about to go to college, you have plenty of time."

"Mm-hmm!"

Jessica nodded happily, stood on tiptoe, and kissed Ye Li on the lips, "Thanks Li! Long live brother!"

"Thanks..... brother......" (Mathilda)

Hearing Ye Li agree to accept her.

Mathilda also stood on tiptoe gratefully, wanting to kiss Ye Li on the cheek—

But because she was young, she couldn't reach even on tiptoe...

"You call me Li first."

Ye Li picked up Mathilda, helped her stamp a seal on his face, and nodded with satisfaction, "Call me brother when you get used to it later."

It seems that although Mathilda is a bit rebellious, she is essentially a sensible child.

As long as she is slightly disciplined... cough... educated, she should be an obedient sister.
