    ☆、Two-Face 2

    The sound of police sirens cut through the night.

    Police cars were speeding towards the east of the city one after another. The police center received a call saying that they heard fierce gunshots in the east of the city near Coventry Gardens, as if someone was exchanging fire.

    Coventry Garden is affiliated with the 11th Precinct of the Newt City Police Department. Detective Sirius was on the night shift that day. He took the people with him and rushed non-stop to the place where the firefight occurred. However, halfway through the car, Detective Gawain called him.

    “Tell all your people to go back and treat this matter as if it never happened tonight.”

    Detective Sirius instinctively felt something was wrong, “But the caller said…”

    Gawain’s voice sounded calm: “Tom,” he suddenly called Sirius’s name, “You were just transferred here this year, right? Don’t worry about any firefights near Coventry Gardens in the future. You are not a rookie who just came out of college. You must have done all the homework you should do. That place… is the territory of the Bruni family.”

    “The Bruni family…” The deleted information quickly flashed through Sirius’s mind. The Bruni family, one of the two most powerful mafia families in the eastern part of country a, paused and said, “I know about it, Detective. I will take him back right now.”

    In the dark night, only a few speeding police cars were seen turning around without hesitation. They were already approaching the Bruni Manor in Coventry Gardens, but they quickly disappeared into the night without paying any attention to the ongoing firefight there.

    As the police car left, the news of the exchange of fire spread throughout the underground world of Newt City overnight, as if it had wings, and spread rapidly outwards.

    This day was the wedding day of Charles Bruni, the boss of the Bruni family and one of the kings of the underground kingdom of country A, but he died on his wedding bed.

    The identity of the assassin who came to assassinate him was unknown. After shattering the window of his bedroom with one shot, there was a burst of gunfire, instantly beating Charles on the bed into a sieve.Baopiao, who rushed in, only had time to rescue the injured Mrs. Bruni. According to the newly minted widow, Charles drank too much because he was happy and was unconscious when the assassination came, so he was easily succeeded by the assassin.

    Poor Charles was a tycoon of his generation, with countless lives on his hands, and the Bruni family was on the rise. With his death, while the Bruni family was busy tracking down the murderer and frightening their enemies, there were also signs of hidden civil strife.

    Suddenly, the entire Newt City was undercurrent, and a storm was coming.

    The ups and downs outside seemed to have nothing to do with Yao Ji for the time being. At this time, she was on the hospital bed, asking the nurses and maids for the information she needed.Soon, she roughly understood her situation.

    Charles, who was shot to death by his original self, was indeed not a simple person.The Bruni family is a famous mafia family in the entire country A, and her cheap husband has been in charge of this family for more than 20 years and has great prestige.When he died, the family was suddenly leaderless and panicked. Although the second boss Andrew temporarily stabilized the situation, the top priority was to decide on the next boss of the family.

    But Charles has no children, no brothers, and the only one who is related to him now is Yao Ji, a widow who has been married to him for a long time. However, Shi Yao’s original background is very problematic.

    The Shi family is a mafia family that has been developing in country H. It is deeply rooted and powerful in country H.Unfortunately, he was on the wrong side in the political struggle. The big shot he supported was imprisoned half a year ago, and the Shi family was constantly subject to political liquidation. Whether it was their business on the surface or those shady activities, they began to falter under the constant blows of the state machinery.

    In this critical situation, in order to survive by cutting off their tails, the head of the Shi family had to take the entire family to leave Country H and come to Country A.It is said that a strong dragon cannot overwhelm a local snake. Even though the Shi family still has a strong foundation, it is still new to the underground forces of country A. Therefore, in order to gain a foothold, the Shi family chose to cooperate with the Bruni family and marry the eldest daughter of the Shi family, the adopted daughter of Shi Jiaming, to Charles Bruni.

    From the beginning, there were many opponents of the marriage.

    The Shi family is an outsider, and a piece of cake is only that big. If there is one more person to share the cake, everyone’s share will become smaller. For most of the underground forces in country A, this outsider is here to compete with them.In particular, the Shi family has cooperated with the Bruni family since they arrived, which is obviously very ambitious.

    There are also different opinions within the Bruni family.Charles’s plan was actually very simple. He wanted to tie the Shi family to himself through marriage, and jointly deal with his biggest enemy, another mafia family with the same name as Bruni, the Xie family.

    The feud between these two families has been going on for a long time. It has always been a matter of king and king, and everyone in the family wants to kill the other.In order to deal with the Xie family, Charles did not hesitate to join forces with the Shi family. Of course, he knew that doing so would lead to the danger of attracting wolves into the house, but danger and opportunity coexisted.

    Unlike Charles, some members of the family opposed the marriage, believing that it was seeking the skin of a tiger.The one with the highest status among the opponents is Charles’s adopted son Matthew Nutt. Before Charles planned to get married, Matthew had always been regarded as the next boss by most people in the family. Now Yao Ji, the widow, appeared out of thin air. Coupled with the conflict with the Shi family, one can only imagine how much he hated Yao Ji.

    Originally, Yao Ji thought that by fooling Charles’ death, she would be temporarily safe.In any case, she had only been married to Charles for a day. Even if the marriage was political, her natal family would not force her to remain a widow.

    Now it seems that she is determined to be a widow. Not only must she continue to be a widow, she must also find a way to sit as the boss of the Bruni family.Even if she doesn’t want to, the Shi family has to let her do it, and if she doesn’t have the ability to protect herself, Matthew won’t let her go.

    Poor woman’s injuries hadn’t healed yet, so she began to think of ways to save her life.Fortunately, she could rely on the Shi family for the time being. While the Bruni family was still looking for the killer, she contacted Shi Jiaming.

    “Dad,” the girl’s voice was gentle and soft on the other end of the receiver. Although this adopted daughter has always been arrogant, she has always been honest in front of Shi Jiaming. Shi Jiaming heard her say, “Charlie is dead. I don’t know who did it yet. Matthew started to press him step by step. I think… his motives are very suspicious.”

    Shi Jiaming was startled. He must be a smart person to reach his current position. He immediately raised his eyebrows: “You mean…”

    “I’m just guessing,” Yao Ji said lightly, “but everyone can understand this. Who will benefit the most when Charlie dies? Not our Shi family, not Andrew, but Matthew.”

    After saying this, she changed the topic and started talking about some gossip. These were all Yao Ji had learned from the maid who came to the Bruni family with her. She mentioned it now to get more useful information from Shi Jiaming’s words. After all, she, the eldest lady of the Shi family, couldn’t be ignorant of the current situation inside her own family.But she can’t talk too much, otherwise she will be exposed.

    About ten minutes later, she deliberately showed a hint of fatigue: “Dad, I won’t disturb you anymore. By the way,” the girl smiled, “What I told you before was just a joke on my part. Don’t take it seriously. If outsiders find out, wouldn’t it cause trouble for Matthew? Talking about money, destroying bones, and having the reputation of assassinating his adoptive father is not a good thing for Matthew.”

    “Of course,” Shi Jiaming understood, “Don’t worry.”
