The monk of the way of beauty

Chapter 523 Escape

"Dear gentlemen and ladies!" Standing on the UN platform, Christian Ward said with a heavy face: "Just less than 48 hours ago, right here where I was standing, some very brave people People lost their lives. I think for their sake we should be talking about the one thing that is often elusive, which is the truth."

As soon as they got off the plane, Ling Xiao and Barbara saw Christian's speech at the United Nations being played on the TV screen at the airport. They couldn't help slowing down, because everyone knew that once Christian Ward finished speaking The following words will completely change the situation of the entire new S.H.I.E.L.D.

"Sometimes, we wish things were simpler than they actually are, but the brutal truth is that we are all complex creatures." Taking a deep breath, Christian Ward said with emotion: "This is the world today, God There is a difference between SHIELD and HYDRA, SHIELD protects us, and HYDRA, they want to rule the world. Just as there used to be good and evil in S.H.I.E.L.D., so is my own family in this way……"

Hearing Christian Ward start to tell about his younger brother being a member of Hydra, Ling Xiao couldn't help chuckling, and said: "It seems that Coulson has handed over him to Senator Ward. Here, S.H.I.E.L.D. can finally act in an aboveboard manner."

"Hmm!" Barbara nodded slightly. To be honest, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Although everyone knows that the S.H.I.E.L.D. Being wanted puts a heavy pressure on everyone's heart. Now that this pressure has been completely relieved, everyone feels a lot more relaxed. Friends and relatives who have not been in touch before can now be in touch.

"Let's go!" Ling Xiao waved to Barbara and said, "We should go back and discuss the next move with Coulson. Now that so many people who have captured Hydra, they must be able to get A lot of information about Hydra."

"Wait a minute." Barbara quickly caught up with Ling Xiao, and asked in a low voice: "If I don't agree to cooperate with you on the plane, what will happen?"

"It's nothing, I can't kill you." There was a hint of coldness in Ling Xiao's smile, and he said with a calm smile: "In order to ensure that the secrets between me and Hande are not leaked, I will Take action to erase your memory of this period of time, that's all."

Seeing the indifference hidden under Ling Xiao's calm eyes, Barbara couldn't help but shudder, not knowing what to say for a moment.

Just when Ling Xiao returned to the base to discuss the next move with Coulson, a sudden news came that Grant Ward had escaped.

When the U.S. military picked him up from Coulson's base, they only sent two sergeants to guard Grant Ward, who was handcuffed and fettered, in a prison van, and he was relaxed after that He got rid of the handcuffs, killed the other two sergeants by surprise, and escaped smoothly.

If it weren't for Christian Ward's look of wanting to send his brother to trial with his own hands, Ling Xiao really suspected that he did this to create a chance for his brother to escape. You know, Christian Ward was carefully Trained S.H.I.E.L.D./Hydra double agents,

"Senator Ward didn't blame you, did he?" Ling Xiao looked at Coulson and asked with a frown.

"No." Coulson shook his head slightly, sat back behind his desk, and said in a deep voice: "They picked them up from our base by themselves, and no one from us participated in the process of escorting them. The procedure has already been completed, at least it has nothing to do with us. Moreover, Senator Ward has publicly stated the position of S.H.I.E.L.D. Play tricks."

"It's okay." Ling Xiao first breathed a sigh of relief, and then his face sank again: "But this also brings another trouble, Coulson, you have to pay attention, since the US military already knows that you are now If the base is located, Hydra is likely to obtain relevant information from them, whether it is to avoid Senator Ward's retaliation against you in the future, or to prevent Hydra from attacking here, you have to do Get ready."

"I understand!" Coulson sighed deeply. The impact of Ward's escape was far-reaching. He whispered: "Except for some necessary personnel, most of the agents here will be transferred to other places. It doesn’t matter if it comes, once someone attacks here, no one can go back alive.”

In this underground base, Coulson has already ordered people to set up a self-destruct device. Once Hydra's people invade here on a large scale, Coulson and the others will press the self-destruct device before fleeing, completely destroying the place. destroy.

"Just as long as you are prepared." Ling Xiao didn't ask Coulson where the next base was, but asked instead: "Ward escaped, is there any action from the government, and your side, what are you doing?" plan?"

"Senator Ward is covering up the facts now. In order to avoid the impact of this matter on him, he doesn't want this matter to be exposed, so the FBI can only start a secret search." Coulson couldn't help shaking Shaking his head, Senator Ward originally planned to use his younger brother in exchange for a large number of votes, but now that Grant Ward has escaped, once the matter comes to the media, this matter will in turn cause serious damage to his election .

It is precisely because of this that Christian Ward will not turn against SHIELD. On the one hand, he hopes that SHIELD can help hunt down Ward. On the other hand, he does not want SHIELD to disclose this matter. , because that would be bad for everyone.

"I've already sent May, Barbara and Hunter to lead a small team to hunt him down. As long as Ward can be found, it won't be difficult to catch him." Coulson paused for a moment before pondering Said: "But I don't want us to arrest him immediately, but I hope he can lead us to find traces of Hydra."

Although in the last operation, they captured Becks and Marcus Scalotti and many other members, but the relevant bases in Whitehall that these people know have long since disappeared. , and no one knows where the fundamental base of Whitehall is.

"Okay, you can just think about this matter. If you need help, just call me." After Ling Xiao finished speaking, he got up and left.

Obviously Coulson didn't let Ling Xiao participate in the next mission of S.H.I.E.L.D., so he simply left directly, lest people say that he had a dark heart.

Just after Ling Xiao left Coulson's office, a figure appeared behind Coulson, it was Skye, the previous electronic wall completely covered Skye's figure, and the electronic signal blocked his induction, so Coulson believes that Ling Xiao has not noticed that Skye has been eavesdropping.

"Why didn't you tell him everything?" Skye stared at Coulson and asked in a deep voice, "Ward has information about my father, and he happened to have a murderous alien device in his hand, that thing The child happens to be related to the inscription, and the inscription is related to the GH serum in our body."

"Skye!" Coulson turned around to look at Skye, sighed, and asked, "In your eyes, what kind of person is Ling?"

"Him?" Skye didn't know why Coulson wanted to change the subject, frowned slightly, and after thinking for a moment, said: "It's hard to say, first of all, he is one of the members of the Avengers. He fought in New York and London. , and the Great War in Washington; secondly, as a superhero, he is just an ordinary doctor with a little special means and a lot of money, and he is not bad as a person. In times of crisis, he helped us by killing Garrett and capturing Ward!"

"Yeah, don't you think he's a little too nice?" Coulson sighed slightly, and said, "Tony Stark has Stark Industries, Banner has physical problems, Natasha Her identity has always been her limitation, the captain is a bit paranoid in his work, Barton's past experience is a bit tortuous, and he is the only one, except for a little lust, it is difficult for you to find any weaknesses in him!"

"What do you mean?" Skye frowned tightly. She understood the subtext in Coulson's words. The more perfect a person is, the harder it is for him to gain the full trust of others , just like Ling Xiao is now.

"Skye, you have to remember!" Coulson stared at her closely, and said in a deep voice: "The Avengers are the Avengers, and S.H.I.E.L.D. is S.H.I.E.L.D. We don't interfere in the internal affairs of Avengers, And the Avengers can't interfere with the internal affairs of our S.H.I.E.L.D., you have to understand that."
