"Oh..."

Matilda's eyes were bright and she secretly glanced at Ye Li a few times before taking back the large bottle of drink from her small hand. "Don't you like this...?"

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

"Oh, I almost forgot! There was a terrible shooting here! A whole family of four was killed!"

Jessica exclaimed, "I've already knocked those gangsters unconscious and called the police, but I'm not sure if any of them escaped... It's not safe here right now, you should leave!"

"A murder case?"

A family of four?

After hearing this, Matilda guessed what was going on and ran up the spiral staircase.

Jessica asked, puzzled, "What's wrong with her?"

Ye Li asked, "Jessica, do you know the details of Mathilda's family background?"

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

Jessica said with a hint of heartache, "I always see her with injuries, but I can't interfere in other people's family matters, so all I can do is treat her wounds..."

Ye Li blinked: "...After you knocked those gangsters unconscious, did you check the situation at the scene...?"

"No.

After I kicked the last person out of the room... I saw you guys coming in downstairs... Oh, right!

Jessica exclaimed, "Brother, you reminded me! I still need to gather evidence from the scene!"

After saying that, she ran upstairs...

"Ugh...."

Watching my sister, who's obsessed with detectives.

Ye Li rubbed his forehead and sighed.

No wonder Jessica was so calm in front of Matilda; she didn't know that Matilda's whole family was the ones who were killed...

...

...

Hammer Industrial Control Room.

Click-clack-clack—

Natasha typed on her keyboard, communicating with Stark via the comms: "I've regained control of Colonel Rhodes' armor, but Ivan Vanko, who was switched out of prison by Justin Hammer, is missing."

at the same time.

Seeing that his armor was back under control, Rhode exclaimed with delight, "Oh! Tony! I'm all set!"

Hey! Watch your word choice!

Tony pushed Rhodey off him: "Don't let the lady misunderstand."

Don't be too happy too soon.

Natasha checked the monitoring program and said: [A target is approaching you; its energy level is extremely high!]

Whoosh—!

With Natasha's reminder.

bang~

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

He declared war on Stark in a mix of English and Russian, saying, "Good, Tuo Ni, I'm alive, you're dead."

The situation is not good.

I'll use a special weapon to deal with him.

Rhodes deploys the missile launchers on his shoulder armor: [Let me use the "Ex-Wife" missile to dismantle his suit.]

Tony: [What should I use?]

next moment.

Whoosh—Ding!

"..."

As Tony and Rhodey watched the "ex-wife" missile, now spewing flames in the water, both fell into silence...

Tony: [Hammer Industries' weapons?]

Rhodes: [...] Yes...

...

.....

slums.

"how come......"

Matilda looked at her brother lying in a pool of blood, tears streaming down her cheeks...

“Matilda..…”

Jessica comforted the poor girl with an unusually gentle expression.

Only then did she realize that the murdered family was Matilda's, and she couldn't help but feel deeply sympathetic towards Matilda...

Fortunately, she met Li.

But Matilda now has nothing.

Just like her when she was in the car accident...

[Huh, same as me...]

Jessica was thinking, and her clever little brain suddenly kicked in again.

She glanced at Matilda, who was crying, and then at Ye Li, who was leaning against the wall, doing nothing...

Why are you looking at me...?

Ye Li was munching on a lollipop (which he'd swiped from Matilda's room) when he noticed his sister staring at him, clearly plotting something mischievous...

"Haven't spanked you in ages, are you itching...?"

"Well!"

Jessica instinctively covered Pigu's face before leaning closer and whispering, "Li... are you planning to... raise another sister?"

Ye Li rolled her eyes. "Do you think our house is a shelter for girls?"

"Don't be like this, let's get rid of each other~"

Jessica clung to her brother's arm, nuzzling him with her ample bosom and pleading, "Just let Matilda live with us, I'll take care of her. I can even get her a job as an assistant at my detective agency!"

bang~

Ye Li flicked her forehead. "How could you even think of that? Sending an ordinary girl to your detective agency that's located outside Hell's Kitchen?"

Jessica pretended to cover her head and said aggrievedly, "Because she originally lived there, I just forgot for a moment... Besides, being an assistant doesn't necessarily mean working at the detective agency. She can help me organize information at home or something."

..

The brother and sister are discussing it.

Matilda listened quietly the whole time.

She knew this would determine her fate...

She still really wants to be with Jessica...

..

"Okay, okay."

Ye Li was annoyed by Jessica's chatter for a long time, but finally agreed, "But you said you would take care of Matilda, and since you're going to college soon, you'll have plenty of time."

"Uh-huh!"

Jessica nodded happily, tiptoed and kissed Ye Li on the lips, "Thank you, Li! Long live brother!"

"Thank you... brother..." (Matilda)

She heard Ye Li agree to accept her.

Matilda gratefully stood on tiptoe, wanting to give Ye Li a light kiss on the cheek—

However, because she is so young, she can't reach it even when she stands on tiptoe...

"Just call me Li first."

Ye Li picked up Matilda, helped her stamp a mark on his face, and nodded in satisfaction, saying, "You can call me brother when you get used to it."

It seems that although Matilda is a bit rebellious, she is still a sensible child at heart.

With a little guidance... cough... education, she should be a well-behaved little sister.
