The monk of the way of beauty

Chapter 328 The Truth

Just after all the gunships flew away, in a bay not far from the villa, the Mark 42 steel armor soared into the sky, and took Tony Stark to Tennessee, where he believed he could find The truth he needs.

The tragedy that happened at Stark's Villa was immediately broadcast across the United States through the news media. The Los Angeles Police Department, the FBI, and the Homeland Security Bureau all sent people to investigate.

However, what makes Pepper feel a little strange is that she has never received a call from S.H.I.E.L.D. It is said that even if Nick Fury himself does not call, S.H.I.E.L.D. should send someone to investigate Well, but the strange thing is that there is no movement.

Standing on the edge of the cliff, Pepper was holding a broken helmet with a sad face. She couldn't leave here at the moment, and there were still many things to deal with. Transfer it away, otherwise it will fall into the hands of the government department and you will never get it back.

The cold sea breeze blowing on Pepper's face finally eased her sadness. Suddenly, she saw a red dot flickering in the helmet in her hand, and she turned her head around suspiciously. Cover your face.

In an instant, countless data and graphics flashed in Pepper's eyes, and at the same time, the voice of an intelligent system sounded: "Stark security server, the retinal scan has taken effect."

Just when Pepper was in doubt, Tony's message sounded in the helmet: "Pepper, it's me. I should have apologized to you long ago, but I haven't said it."

Hearing Tony's voice and knowing that he was safe, Pepper finally laughed happily. At the same time, the message in the helmet continued: "First of all, I blame my selfishness and stupidity for putting you in danger. Don't do it next time." I will..."

Just as Pepper took off his helmet, a familiar voice sounded beside him: "The young couple are done talking, then, let's go."

"Ling!" Looking at Ling Xiao, who was wearing a gray workman's uniform, Pepper said in surprise and joy, "Ling, so you're fine."

"Hush!" Ling Xiao stretched out his hand and made a silent gesture, and then said in a low voice: "Let's leave here first."

"Okay!" Pepper, who had already received Stark's instructions, nodded slightly, and asked the staff of the legal department to watch over all the property belonging to Stark Industries on the scene, and don't let the government departments go along, and then followed Ling Xiao , and left with Maya Hansen.

"Where are we going?" Sitting on the back seat of Lingxiao's pickup truck, Maya asked nervously.

"My villa." Ling Xiao said while driving, "It's not far, just a 10-minute drive."

"Oh!" Maya responded, looked at the night outside the window, then turned her head and asked Pepper in a low voice: "Miss Potts, who is Mr. Ling, and why is he like that..."

When she was in Stark's villa, Maya saw all the wonders of Ling Xiao, and at this moment, she finally couldn't help asking.

"You don't think that Tony is the only superhero in Los Angeles, do you?" Pepper patted Maya's cold hand, without further explanation, and asked again: "What's the matter with you coming to our house today, Maya, what do you have?" Do you have something important to tell Tony?"

Although Pepper's question seemed casual, Maya Hansen knew that she had begun to doubt herself, after all, the timing of her appearance was too coincidental.I haven't seen each other for more than ten years, and almost killed Stark when we met. If there is no contact with Gui, I don't believe it.

Taking a deep breath, Maya said to Pepper with a serious face: "I think my boss is working for the Mandarin, so if you still want to continue talking, I suggest we change to a safer place!"

"Don't worry, my villa is absolutely safe. I don't have the slightest resistance there like Tony's." Ling Xiao couldn't help but sarcasm Stark, but in fact it was not the case. If Maya Hansen hadn't appeared too much today Coincidentally, Stark's villa will not be destroyed so easily.

"Wait, your boss, why does he work for adults?" Pepper turned his head, stared at Maya and asked, "But Tony said you are a botanist?"

"That's right." Maya didn't deny anything about Pepper's question, and while nodding in agreement, she explained a little: "I'm an expert in DNA biocoding, and I have a team of more than 40 people, belonging to a large Part of the brain trust, so you can call me a botanist too."

It turned out that this Tony had lied to her again.After remembering Stark in his heart, Pepper asked immediately: "What's your boss's name?"

"His name is Killian, Adrian Killian." Maya didn't notice the strangeness on Pepper's face, looked out the window at night, and said faintly: "We and Tony both lived in Sweden more than ten years ago. Met at a meeting."

"Killian, Killian!" How could Pepper forget Killian, she just met him yesterday, this former colleague, did not expect the other party to know each other when they were studying under the same doctor Tony is gone.

But think about it, there are many people in this world who know Tony, but there are not many who can be remembered by him.

Ling Xiao turned the steering wheel, and the car turned onto the upward mountain road, and soon arrived at the manor on the top of the mountain.

After parking the car, Ling Xiao closed the door again, and took Pepper and Maya through the garden into the living room of the villa. Ling Xiao walked towards the refrigerator and said, "Sit casually, what do you want to drink?"

Pepper glanced at Maya and said in a low voice, "Two cups of coffee, it's better to have some snacks, we haven't eaten much this day."

"Okay, no problem." Ling Xiao responded, took out the leftover cakes and snacks from the refrigerator, made another plate of fruit salad, made a pot of coffee, and brought them over to the two women.

"Thank you, Ling." Pepper glanced at Maya who had been silent all this time, took a sip of coffee, and asked Ling Xiao, "By the way, Ling, where is Gan Jing, why didn't you see her here?"

"I asked her to stay at the pharmacy, so I won't come over tonight." Ling Xiao stood on the sofa, looked at the two people who had a strange atmosphere, and said, "Tonight, you will live in the guest room on the second floor. What is there outside?" Don’t worry about the movement, just get a good night’s sleep.”

"Okay, thank you." Pepper smiled gratefully at Ling Xiao. In the entire Stark Industry, she and Ling Xiao have known each other for the longest time and are the most familiar. It sounds a little greedy, but in fact he is still a very good person.

Pepper also knows a lot about Ling Xiao through Tony. He knows that he is a superhero with strong strength. Just such a person, with a salary of 20 US dollars a year, stays in Stark Industries (although he rarely goes to work), is really commendable, everything shows that he is trustworthy.

"Well, you guys talk first, I'll go out and make arrangements." After Ling Xiao finished speaking, he nodded to the two of them one after another, and left the living room.

Pepper picked up a piece of snack, stuffed it into his mouth, chewed it up and swallowed it, with a calm expression on his face.At this moment, Maya breathed a sigh of relief, and picked up the fruit salad on the table to eat. She knew that the evening had just begun.

The calmness in Ling Xiao's seaside villa does not mean that other places are equally peaceful.

Now Stark in Tennessee is conducting his own investigation in the snowy weather. There, he encounters many obstacles and also gets help from many people, and he is getting closer to the truth step by step.

And Killian, who is the source of everything, just received a call from his subordinates: "We have blown up his house, but we didn't find his body."

"I see, I have to get busy. The Mandarin is going to record something, he's a bit...you know his temper. The plan for the evening remains the same, call me when you're done." Hang up the phone, Ki Ryan walked into a room, and here was a small TV crew.
