When he was still in Shao country, Zhou Ming asked Yang Zhisheng to investigate Adele's family. With Yang Zhisheng's strong network intrusion abilities, he obtained many confidential documents that outsiders could not obtain, including a long-forgotten event.
Twenty-seven years ago, Adele's grandfather, Jack Browses, killed his wife, son, and daughter with a gun in one day, then shot himself, leaving only his three-year-old son, Doville Bronses, who was not at home at the time and was taken care of by a nanny, to survive. Joe's eldest son, Adele's father, Adrian Bronses, was shot but did not die. After treatment, his injuries healed, leaving only some scars that would never disappear, but did not cause greater damage to his body.
That year, Adrian Bronses was 16 years old. Two years later, he married and had his first child, Karl Browses. Five years later, 23-year-old Adrian had his second child, Adele Browses.
There is little recorded about the incident in which Joe Browses killed his entire family, and there are obvious signs of records being intentionally cleared and the event being kept from later generations. However, Yang Zhisheng still obtained some information from various channels, some of which were true and some were not.
The exposure of this information dealt a huge blow to the reputation of the entire Bronses family. The police reported that Jack Bronses, who was already mentally unstable, was pushed to the brink of collapse. This led to the tragic incident of the family being shot.
Yang Zhisheng found this information, which was one of several versions of the tragic event, but Zhou Ming is now almost certain that this is the truth. After Adrian Bronses was rescued, he and his three-year-old brother Doville inherited the family's vast assets. After that, Adrian immediately began to reduce the heat and influence of the incident, confusing the truth, sealing the lips of those who knew the truth, and gradually diluting, confusing, covering up, and cleaning up the incident until now, when almost no one knows about it.
However, things can change, and nature is hard to change. Adrian, who had been led astray by his biological father since childhood, encountered the tragic incident of the family being wiped out. How could his psyche be normal?
Karl Bronses and Doville Bronses together? Heh, who was the first person to be with them?
As Zhou Ming spoke, the long-forgotten past was like a sharp knife, piercing Adele's heart, as if her heart had been cut open and thrown into ice water, causing her to completely lose consciousness.
For a while, she didn't lift her head. She looked at Zhou Ming with a bewildered expression and murmured, "How is it possible?"
"Don't ask me, I don't know either," Zhou Ming said calmly. "If you want to know the truth, go ask your father."
"My father?" Adele's eyes gradually focused. "Do you want me to..."
Zhou Ming laughed. "I can accompany you."
.....
The Bronses family in Guinea is different from small countries like Shao. Guinea is a country with comprehensive national strength that can rank in the top ten in the world. The land area is as much as 5.3 million square kilometers, the economy is developed, and the national strength is strong.
On the plane from Homer Island to Guinea, Adele was tense all over, her hands clasping her skirt corners, her expression conflicted and nervous.
"Relax, Miss Adele, you look like you're being coerced by me--although that's the truth, you don't want your family's business to be known by others, do you?"
Beside Adele, Zhou Ming lazily leaned back on the soft seat in first class, leisurely flipping through magazines.
After resting for another day on Homer Island, Zhou Ming's physical strength and injuries had been restored again, and the short but intense battle was no longer a problem.
After arriving in Guinea, there was only one day left before the ten-day deadline, and everything was about to be resolved.
Glancing at Zhou Ming, who was leisurely enjoying himself, Adele stomped her foot hatefully, turned her head, and ignored him.
Silence prevailed throughout the journey.
The plane landed.
With each step outside the airport, Adele's heart became more and more uneasy.
This was not only because of the danger she faced but also because of her suspicion that was about to be confirmed. She didn't know how to face her family and subconsciously avoided reality.
The closer she got to her home, the more likely Zhou Ming's words would become a reality. Adele felt her body weaken, and her inner self retreated more and more.
"What, are you getting more and more scared because you're close to home?" Zhou Ming gently supported her soft body and whispered in her ear.
The two of them linked their arms and rubbed their ears, their actions were intimate and ambiguous, like a pair of passionate lovers.
"Is this your country's saying?" Adele looked at the man beside her with deep eyes, her attitude toward him was complex.
"You could say that," Zhou Ming smiled and nodded in a direction.
"Look, your ride is here."
Adele followed the direction indicated by Zhou Ming and indeed saw several bodyguards led by a middle-aged man walking towards them.
The middle-aged man was named Ralph and had been serving the Bronses family for nearly a decade, one of her father's capable assistants.
Adele's face turned slightly pale.
"You didn't notify anyone that you were coming back, and you took the earliest flight right after making the decision. It's only a short time, and someone came to pick you up as soon as you got off the plane. Haha, the efficiency is really fast," Zhou Ming said as if it were a curse, constantly ringing in her ears, making her heart sink uncontrollably.
She bit her lip and asked softly, "Did you bring a gun?"
Zhou Ming pretended to be surprised and said, "Wow, Miss, do you think it's possible for me to bring a gun on a plane?"
Zhou Ming went to Shao country relying on Yang Zhisheng and Yu Man, so he didn't need to worry about weapons at all. When he came back, he took a black ship. He could even bring a rocket launcher, let alone a gun.
This time, he really couldn't carry weapons on the plane. But it didn't matter, there were weapons everywhere in Genia, and this country did not ban guns. It was easy to get a gun.
"They should have guns. What if you don't have a gun?" Adele was a bit anxious.
"Don't worry, you don't have to worry about me." Zhou Ming whispered in Adele's ear.
"Go over first, and later say that I'm your new boyfriend. Hold me tightly, don't let go. The closer you are to me, the safer you are."
Adele was silent for a moment, nodded, and hugged Zhou Ming's arm tighter.
Soon, those people walked in front of them.
"Miss." Ralph bowed slightly to Adele and looked at Zhou Ming.
"Who is he?"
"He's my boyfriend, Wei-"
"Zhang Wei." Zhou Ming quickly interrupted, smiling and shaking Ralph's hand.
Self-introduction is better than Adele calling him "Wei Zhang," right?
Ralph frowned slightly and withdrew his hand without leaving a trace.
"Miss, the master ordered me to pick you up, and also this Mr. Zhang..."
"He's coming with me. I'm about to introduce him to my father."
Adele hugged Zhou Ming's arm tightly, looking like she was afraid of separating from him, which appeared as a daughter-like posture to outsiders, making Ralph's bodyguards behind him look strange.
They were private bodyguards who had been serving the Bronses family for a long time. They not only knew about Adele's "quirks" in private but also experienced them firsthand. Some of them still maintained a friendly relationship with Adele because of her exceptional abilities.
It was precisely because of this that they felt particularly surprised. How did this black-haired and yellow-skinned man make Miss Adele, who was experienced in the battlefield, so attached to him?
Several people even had the idea of privately visiting Zhou Ming and asking him for the "secret" in their hearts.
Meanwhile, their boss, Ralph, frowned imperceptibly again, quickly looked at Zhou Ming for two or three seconds, and finally stepped aside and slightly bowed.
"Then please, Mr. Zhang, get on the car."
The group walked out of the airport and saw three luxury cars parked in a row, attracting the attention of passersby.
Adele hugged Zhou Ming's arm and went straight to the back seat of the middle car, followed closely by Ralph, who sat in the passenger seat of that car.
The other bodyguards sat in the front and back cars, and the three cars slowly drove out of the airport towards the city.
However, in less than ten minutes of driving, Adele sensed a problem and screamed in surprise as she looked out the window.
"This is not the way home, where are you taking me!"
"Sorry, miss, this is the master's intention. Please be quiet for now. The master is waiting for you."
Ralph's expression was blank, and he reached into his pocket and gripped his gun.
Although he was sitting in the back seat, Zhou Ming still saw Ralph's small movements through the car window and immediately winked at Adele.
"No, I don't believe it. Stop the car, stop it now!"
Adele received Zhou Ming's signal and acted as he had instructed her before.
"I am not deceiving you, miss!"
Ralph's tone became heavier, and he suddenly turned around and aimed his gun at Zhou Ming's head.
"I hope you can be quiet immediately; otherwise, Mr. Zhang's head will explode!"
Adele's excited emotions calmed down in an instant, and she stared dumbfounded at the black muzzle.
At this moment, the car drove into a quiet alley and slowly stopped.
"Mr. Zhang, I'm sorry. The master did not invite you, and he also dislikes strangers visiting him, so I can only ask you to get off the car."
Ralph moved the gun barrel and gestured for Zhou Ming to open the car door and get out.
