Chapter Seventy-six: The Brown Brothers

  "I don't think that's a good idea, Mr. Cowell," Ai Ziqing said in a soft and calm tone, narrowing her eyes slightly.

  Just then, there were chaotic footsteps outside the corridor!

  A white man named William darted to the door and looked out, his brow furrowed: "Hans, we've been ambushed."

  Originally, Kowal was named Hans.

  "William, you've said too much." Cowell said with a perpetual smirk on his face, shrugging.

  "I say we have a traitor among us!" William turned his head and growled in a low voice!

  As for this brother who often neglects others' key points, William is also helpless to the extreme!

  "Are you saying they had an ambush set up?" Hans finally caught on, "What can we do about it?"

  "I'll cover you, get out! Take that old guy as a shield, they won't dare shoot!" William turned his head and said urgently, quickly walking to the bedside, pulling out all of James' IV tubes, lifting up the weak James, then handing him over to his brother.

  "Quick march!" William rushed to the door, and at this moment the enemy had already charged over, lying in wait outside the house door, waiting for an opportunity!

  William placed his rifle on the windowsill and began firing indiscriminately inside the hospital!

  "No! I'm leaving, what are you going to do? If we leave, let's go together!" Hans also growled at this time and was about to slam James to the ground, but fortunately, Ai Zi Qing on the side was quick-witted and stopped him.

  Good girl, James at this time in her eyes, can represent whether she can smoothly enter the Manhattan underground business!

  How could James, who was already on his last legs, withstand this blow?

  "Hurry, the nearest police station will take 15 minutes to arrive, we must evacuate safely within 10 minutes! Stop dawdling!" Ai Zi Qing frowned and interrupted Hans and Wilhelm's deep brotherly love.

  As soon as this was said, both of them were stunned. Who would have thought that William turned his head to Hans and said: "Hurry up! I'll take this little nurse hostage, you go first!"

  What?

  Ai Zi Qing was also stunned!

  ……

  Ai Zi Qing never thought that in this lifetime, she would be held hostage between two factions of gunfire and even successfully escape with the villain from the midst of war.

  Although she could have completely refused this proposal and had the ability to bury both of them in the hospital on the spot, it was clear that she did not do so.

  At least, the two of them did a good job of covering up Aizi's assassination of James to some extent. Everyone's attention will be focused on them, and they will ignore this little nurse with ulterior motives...

  If William and Hans escape smoothly, the James incident will have nothing to do with Ai Zi Qing, since the other party had set an ambush long ago, it was also because they knew their identities.

  The reason why there was no suspicion that he had leaked his whereabouts and caused the other party to detect it was because all of Ai Ziying's plans were to observe changes, wait for movement with stillness, and were very random. It was also impossible to leak his whereabouts in advance, unless... Chris leaked the secret.

  But she immediately ruled out this idea, Chris would not get up early without any benefit, it was impossible for him to do something that harmed others and himself. So the target of this ambush was obviously only William brothers.

  She was also very curious about what William Brothers were doing and who they were sent by.

  So Ai Zi Qing decided to play this unlikable little nurse to the end.

  Until...

  This is a suburban abandoned wooden house, where William took James and Ai Ziqing, and the two of them sat on the sofa panting heavily, or picked up the white wine that had been on the table for some days and drank two mouthfuls.

  At this time, James was sitting dazedly on the ground in the corner of the wooden hut, and his treatment was obviously not very good.

  "Hey, nurse, take off that annoying mask of yours. Do you want me to do it for you?" Hans said casually to Aizi, taking a swig of white wine.

  William also glanced at her and didn't take it to heart.

  Ai Zi Qing narrowed her eyes, slowly removed the white mask, revealing a fair and almost transparent beautiful face.

  "Ah! I was wondering why you're so thin, turns out you're Chinese!" Hans jumped up at once. It's all because this little nurse spoke English too well and even imitated a New York accent, which is quite rare.

  "A Chinese nurse at Manhattan Hospital, interesting." William looked up and down Aizi Qing because she was not short, wearing a nurse's cap and mask at the time, and due to the urgency of the situation, he didn't carefully observe this little nurse, and unexpectedly found out that she was a Chinese nurse.

  William smiled and said: "Hans, if a Chinese nurse died in a Manhattan hospital, do you think it would stir up an international incident?"

  "Of course not, William. I think the two governments can handle it well unless this matter is exposed and magnified." Hans replied seriously after a moment of thought.

  Looking at this often neglected younger brother, William poured down a mouthful of white wine and sighed helplessly.

  Hans finally reacted: "You want to kill her?"

  "Of course, she saw our appearance and even came to our old nest." William nodded very naturally.

  "But..." Hans hesitated, after all, this unpleasant nurse was brought by him, and now getting rid of her would be a bit too...

  "There's no need to hesitate, isn't there a Chinese saying that goes: 'If one does not take care of oneself, heaven and earth will destroy him?' William's last sentence was surprisingly spoken in somewhat unfluent Mandarin, which left Ai Ziqing, who had been watching the two with her arms crossed and leaning against the wall, momentarily stunned."

  "But William, she's too innocent..." Hans frowned and shook his head.

  "Innocent? Are we not innocent? Did our dead father deserve to die? Did Hanna deserve to die? Hans, it seems your brother needs to teach you another lesson. This world has never been fair, and you should have realized that by now. If you don't want to die yourself, then let others die! Remember, my dear little brother, there is no fairness, only strength and weakness!" William's voice suddenly became agitated, and as soon as he finished speaking, he pulled out a sleek handgun and pointed it at Ai Zi Qing, his index finger on the trigger.

  Bang!

  "Hans instantly reacted to his brother's intention, subconsciously opening his mouth, but in the next second he was stunned and froze there."

  William's smile also slowly solidified at the corner of his mouth, and his eyes suddenly widened!

  How is it possible?

  What's going on?

  Only Ai Zi Qing's posture remained unchanged, still hugging her chest and leaning against the wall, only her feet lightly shifted...

  The bullet hit the wall beside her, and a hole suddenly appeared on the wooden wall of the hut.

  And she... dodged it?!

  What a coincidence?

  But looking at the nurse's playful expression, Wilhelm and Hans immediately denied this idea.

  No wonder she hadn't uttered a word from the moment she entered the house, nor had she shown any expression of surprise. It turned out that she had long been confident and didn't take the two of them seriously!

  It suddenly occurred to William that from head to toe, she was the assassin sent by Serena.

  Assassin? Ai Zi Qing's mouth curved into a smile as she slowly shook her head.

  William narrowed his eyes: "What's your purpose?"

  Ai Zi Qing finally reacted, slowly straightening her body that was leaning against the wall, then got up and walked to the chair opposite William and sat down elegantly, staring at the two of them: "I agree with what William said, in this world there is no right or wrong, only strong and weak."

  Having said that, Ai Zi Qing didn't wait for the two of them to react. She raised her slender white hand and snapped her fingers crisply!

  The gate was kicked open and several Chinese men and women rushed in, surrounding William and Hans, with cold gun barrels also aiming at the two!

  It turned out that Ai Zi Qing had been leaving marks that only the Night Owl Society could recognize on her way here, and Ye Ying and others had been following her since she left the hospital, confirming the location according to the marks, waiting for Ai Zi Qing's instructions.

  Mantis stalks cicada, unaware of the oriole behind!

  "Are you Selena's person?" William asked again in a rage.

  Ai Zi Qing still shook her head.

  William and Hans did not expect to lose to a woman today!

  And this woman was not even the one they hated with all their might!

  This woman pretended to be a nurse with an ulterior motive. Looking at James, who was paralyzed and lying on the ground in the corner of the wall, her purpose was self-evident!

  Unfortunately, I ended up taking the blame for her!

  Now that we have seen each other's faces, how can they not pursue and kill us to the end?

  Unwilling to accept!

  Perhaps fueled by the wine, William suddenly let out a low growl and stood up! He raised the gun in his hand and aimed at the night fox in front of him, pulling the trigger!

  Just as his fingers and trigger were about to touch, the small night fox suddenly launched a surprise attack!

  She only saw her swiftly lift her right leg with great force, kicking the gun out of William's hand as he pulled the trigger, and the bullet shot out of the barrel, hitting the wall to the right, causing wood chips to fall off in all directions!

  The wall had another bullet hole...

  At the same time, Ye Lian's icy gun muzzle was already pressed against William's temple! She also gave a sly smile and nudged him forward, hinting that he'd better behave himself!

  "Hey! Wilhelm!" Hans was also caught off guard by the sudden turn of events, but before he could react, a gun muzzle was pressed against his lower back, freezing him in place.

  Everything happened in an instant, but the few people from Ye Zu still had no expression on their faces, as if they didn't care about Ye Li at all.

  Is it too indifferent?

  Still too confident?

  William doesn't understand, Hans also doesn't understand.

  "What exactly do you want?" William had calmed down by now, his earlier outburst was just too frustrating!

  And now, as long as there is a glimmer of hope for survival, he will go all out to fight for it! He wants to live on... to take revenge on the woman who has wronged him... Serina!

  Ai Zi Qing smiled lightly. People are like that sometimes, after acting on impulse, as long as there's a glimmer of hope, they'll hold on tight. It's not about being brave or not, it's just human nature.

  She slightly opened her crimson lips and softly instructed, "First hand James over to the lawyer and settle the matter." This sentence was spoken in Chinese, which William and Hans didn't quite understand.

  Scorpion nodded, walked to the corner of the wall and lifted James up, looking at James' big belly as he lay on his own body. Scorpion frowned in disgust, then carried him out of the wooden house and handed him over to the lawyer waiting in the carriage.

  As for how the lawyer will handle it and whether he can succeed, that depends on Chris's energy level.

  After Nightshade left, Ai Zi Qing turned to the William brothers and asked in fluent English, "Who sent you?"

  From the conversation between the two, Ai Zi Qing roughly guessed that it should be their father who had a feud with Luo En's family, and they must have come to take revenge. But if no one helped, Ai Zi Qing didn't believe that the two of them could achieve this on their own.

  As she rushed out of the hospital, she clearly sensed that someone was suppressing firepower for them in the distance. If she wasn't mistaken, there must be someone behind their backs.

  "Are you here for James too? Do you have a grudge against James? If so, I advise you not to make things difficult for us, because we may be on the same front line! If James's vicious daughter finds out about this, she won't let you off!"

  Hans stared intently at Ai Zi Qing, as if not wanting to miss a single expression on her face. He knew that at this moment, his and Wilhelm's lives were entirely in the hands of this woman. If they could reach an agreement, their own lives would be secure.

  But he didn't know that Ai Zi Qing hated it when people answered irrelevantly, because she disliked repetition.

  "Yes," Ai Zi Qing's eyebrows furrowed slightly, her mouth still curved in a smile from earlier: "Answer my question."

  "You..." Before Hans could continue speaking, a cold gun barrel pressed against his back, forcing him to shut up.

  Finally, William said in a low voice: "I am William Brown, Hans is my brother, have you heard of the Brown family?"

  Ai Zi Qing raised an eyebrow and looked at Ye Ying beside her.

  The latter nodded and then leaned over to Ai Zi Qing's side and whispered: "The Luo En family is a giant in the Manhattan jewelry industry, and the original Brown family was also so."

  Ai Zi Qing suddenly realized that it was a business competition, and after the Brown family's defeat, they were forced to death by James' ruthless tactics, which led to the two young Browns coming for revenge.

  A tale of revenge and loyalty within a wealthy family.

  Ai Zi Qing thought it was good, according to William's narrative, the fact is also so, precisely because of this, today's scene occurred.

  However, listening to their conversation, it seemed like they had an unusual grudge against Serena, so she spoke up and asked: "What did Serena do?"

  As expected, William and Hans pursed their lips after hearing Ai Zi Qing's words, and in the end it was still William who spoke up: "She killed our sister."

  Originally, when the Brown and Loen families were both jewelry giants in Manhattan, the eldest daughters of the two families were also compared by high society, causing Serena to become jealous. After the Brown family's downfall, they sent someone to abduct Hannah, who was the eldest daughter of the Brown family...

  What happened next was something Ai Zi Qing could already imagine, because that private club was also something she had personally experienced...

  William and Hans were powerless to help their sister until later, when news of Hanna's death spread, leaving the two men with belated regret...

  "That vicious woman! She has a heart like a viper, Hannah is naturally kind and hasn't even been tainted by the slightest bit of rich girl's bad habits, I still don't understand why Serena treats her this way!" Hans said this with tears in his eyes, probably thinking of his sister.

  The Brown brothers couldn't understand why Selena would do such a thing, as they couldn't imagine what kind of jealousy could lead someone to commit such a heinous act.

  Ke Ai Zi Qing was well aware of it in her heart.

  Selena's own experiences also made her extremely jealous of women who lived more freely than she did, and the things she had experienced since childhood had twisted her mind to the point where she couldn't bear to see other women obtain happiness.
