My Boyfriend Wants To Murder His Brother

My name was Amber Duncan, and I was the only female firefighter on the team. The captain, Tad Gray, asked me to be in charge of promoting fire safety knowledge.

On Valentine's Day, I was live streaming and competing with others on fire safety knowledge when the alarm went off.

When I arrived, I realized that the person being rescued was Leo Rowe, the younger brother of my ex-boyfriend, Andy Rowe.

Andy asked me, "Why didn't you answer my calls? Why did you block me?"

I said, "Is this your reason for locking Leo in the closet?"

When I was explaining fire safety knowledge seriously, no one paid attention.

Tad asked me to come up with a way to attract more audience.

So, I turned the fire safety actions into a dance and posted it online.

Surprisingly, there were only a few comments asking about fire safety knowledge, and most of them were applying to be patrol dogs.

And there were a lot.

Tad asked me to be the referee while applicants argued for questions.

Therefore, on Valentine's Day, while others were enjoying flowers and wine, I was working overtime to judge right from wrong.

There was only one question left, and I was so close to getting off work.

Then two men who were on the line started arguing. Both of them happened to be top tippers of the livestream.

One of them said, "Definitely call 911 first to report the fire and then use water to put out the fire."

The other said, "Nonsense! First, use a fire extinguisher to eliminate the source of the fire. If it can't be eliminated, then call 911."

Both weren't wrong in theory, but it also depended on the actual situation. I was about to announce the correct answer.

The 17th tipper, who had been silent all along, said, "When the fire is in a critical situation, quickly cover your mouth and nose with a wet towel. When calling 911, don't speak incoherently. Instead, quickly inform the location of the fire. Close the gas valve to prevent explosions..."

It was a hundred percent correct, and I happily announce that he won.

But the two weren't convinced. They insisted that he cheated by checking the answers in advance.

The man chuckled. He said, "I don't have to. I know a lot about firefighting."

[Are you also a professional firefighter?] someone commented.

"No. My ex-girlfriend is a firefighter. These are her exam questions. She used to practice on me a lot."

To prove it, he even turned on the camera.

I was enjoying the show, but when I saw him, I was dumbfounded.

It was Andy!

I was the ex-girlfriend he was referring to!

I quickly turned off Andy's microphone, said a few closing words, and ended the livestream.

After making sure that all the cameras were turned off, I took a deep breath and pressed down on my pounding heart.

I quickly checked my phone to make sure that I had blocked Andy on various platforms such as WhatsApp and TikTok, as well as his phone number.

Then I gradually calmed down.

I was just about to leave with my bag when Tad came and asked me to go on a mission together.

I heard that the rescued person was a ten-year-old child with his head stuck in the window.

He was emotionally unstable and needed a gentle young woman to comfort him.

Fine. It was my work. I should act professionally.

It wasn't until we reached the building where the rescued person was that I felt something was wrong.

I seemed to have been to this neighborhood before.

Tad knocked on the door, and I hid behind my colleagues to observe.

The door opened as expected, and it was indeed Andy!

According to normal logic, the family members of the rescued person would immediately explain the situation to the firefighters when they saw them at the door and then request immediate rescue.

But the first thing Andy said was, "Is Amber here? I can't find her."

I wanted to strangle him!

Tad coughed a few times and didn't answer his question directly. Tad said, "Where is the person waiting to be rescued?"

"That's not the point. Where is Amber?"

Tad looked at him speechlessly. Then Tad said, "Amber Duncan, come forward!"

I wore a uniform and tried to be invisible as much as possible.

Tad suddenly called my full name, and I trembled, almost falling to the floor.

Tad was usually gentle and only called his teammates by their full names when angry.

"Yes!"

Tad gritted his teeth and said, "Ask him where the person waiting to be rescued is."

"Yes!"

When Andy saw me, he came to me like a doggy wagging tail.

"Amber, I..."

"Shut up!" I gave him a disdainful glance. Then I asked, "Where is the person we are rescuing?"

Andy instantly looked aggrieved and said, "In the bathroom."

I was wondering how it had happened when I heard Leo shouting.

"Amber, come and save me!"
