I Am Gwen's Spider-Man Mentor

At the same time, Raymond had no idea that Wilson Fisk's stand-in had made an appointment with the current second-in-command in his laboratory. He fully believed that Helen Zhao's life was threatened when she stayed with Jin Bing.

So, when the professor hurried to the so-called banquet, he only saw a beautiful Asian doctor in a sapphire blue dress and a fat man in a white suit having a happy conversation.

In fact, while Zhao Helen remained considerate and polite, she also paid attention to keeping a certain distance from Jin Bin beside her. In addition to avoiding being taken advantage of, there was another consideration -

Even not long after arriving in New York, Helen Zhao had heard about Wilson Fisk's reputation in New York's criminal world. The doctor was obsessed with scientific research on weekdays. At most, he flirted with his direct boss in the laboratory, but he had no idea of ​​getting involved with crime.

"Ah!" Wilson Fisk's stand-in learned a lot from the exaggeration of the main character. He stood up and adjusted the hem of his clothes: "Professor Xu! I said that Dr. Zhao will definitely be able to come forward. You called it out!"

Raymond shook Fisk's hand with almost a smile, and then sat down next to Helen Zhao. Seeing this, the doctor even moved his chair towards Raymond twice.

Raymond had just sat down, and the relationship at the dinner table that had been harmonious just now became awkward for a moment - the professor himself was not a particularly social person, and he was tired of dealing with this kind of social occasion for the sake of friendship.

Helen Zhao glanced at Raymond and knew that the professor was not willing to talk much because of fatigue, so she took the initiative to pick up the conversation and quietly turned the topic to the technical direction that Raymond was interested in:

"Next month, the first Falcon rocket will carry 60 Starlink-generation satellites to space. We still want to thank Mr. Fisker for his engineering and security assistance."

Helen Zhao compromised with her words and eased a lot of the awkward atmosphere between Raymond and Fisk.

Raymond glanced at the doctor next to him gratefully, took a deep breath, adjusted his expression to a standard reception posture, and began to say his high-sounding words——

It can be said that Raymond is very good at disguising himself into a role that he was not willing to take on to achieve his personal goals. Therefore, when the professor entered the state, he quickly made the fake Kingpin smile. .

Wilson Fisk served Normandy foie gras with candied almonds as an appetizer, and also ordered a grilled seaside lamb back as the main course. The accompanying wine was also a good wine produced by Chateau Haut-Bihan in 1945. But Raymond had no appetite at all. The professor just drank a few sips of wine, ate a few bites of salad, and then rested his knife and fork.

"What?" Jin Bing also put down his knife and fork and looked at Raymond opposite with concern: "Is it not to your liking?"

"No, no, no..." Raymond drank the clear and translucent wine in the goblet in one gulp, feeling the bitterness caused by the tannins rolling over his tongue. Then he wiped his mouth with a napkin and tried to put on a smile: "It's just that I didn't handle some personal matters well, which affected the mood of the party."

Raymond didn't notice that his voice was trembling, and even Jin Bing, who was always keen, didn't notice it. Only Helen Zhao gently put her hand on the professor's wrist.

Wilson Fisk looked at Helen Zhao who put her hand on Raymond's wrist, and smiled softly: "If it is a private matter, I will not get involved. Dr. Zhao should have some experience in this aspect, right?"

Only then did Raymond notice the cold touch of the girl's fingertips on his wrist. When the professor and the doctor looked at each other, he realized that they were only young people in their twenties, but the heavy pressure and heavy workload forced him to Both of them looked a little haggard.

The rest of the process was just boring conversations. Helen Zhao helped Raymond cope with Jin Bing's "cross-examination". For the first time, the professor did not object to having close skin contact with the doctor - —Although Helen Zhao just put her hand on Raymond's wrist.

Two hours later, such a boring dinner finally came to an end without any danger.

Raymond himself had stayed up a lot of late nights. After drinking some wine tonight, he started to lose his balance and swayed. Zhao Hailun supported him on the side, while Jin Bing called his driver. I am very enthusiastic about sending the professor and doctor home together.

Raymond held Helen Zhao's hand and waved the other hand: "No, no need, the doctor and I can just walk back. Our homes are very close."

"Is it safe at this late hour?" Kingpin adjusted his suit and opened the door of the extended Lincoln.

"On the one hand, it's not far, and on the other hand...haven't I also hired the security provided by you? If something happens to Dr. Zhao and I just taking a walk, then it will only prove your reputation as Wilson Fisk. Well."

Raymond's refusal was so firm, and there was even an implicit threat in his words, which made this Wilson Fisk impostor feel a little difficult to deal with. He pondered for a moment: "Okay then, I will send extra security for you two, and I will ensure that you go back safely and smoothly!"

At this time, Natasha Romanoff, the fake Kingpin's real secretary, got out of the car and put a coat on the fake Kingpin. Raymond couldn't help but wrinkled when he looked at the S.H.I.E.L.D. agent. He raised his eyebrows, and even slightly pressed the button of his "trump card" in his pocket. There was a gentle "buzz" sound, and in the beeping traffic on the late autumn streets of New York, a few blue sparks flickered in the neon lights. People flash with attention.

"Mr. Xu." Natasha Romanoff turned to Raymond and smiled at him. At that time, Nick Fury was very opposed to Natasha carrying out this latent mission, but the female agent had her own sense of smell. She said: "Even if we met, Xu would not reveal my identity as an agent."

Nick Fury couldn't understand the reason why Natasha was so confident, but he knew that this woman never made unreasonable decisions. He was troubled by many things at that time, so he nodded in agreement.

"Oh right!" Seeing Natasha, Raymond remembered something. He took out a box from his handbag and handed it to Wilson Fisk opposite: "This is the model of the 'Starlink' satellite. This is a gift to you before it goes to heaven.”

The fake Kingpin didn't do anything, but Natasha took Raymond's thank you gift - this is what she wanted to hand over to the real Kingpin.

----Dividing line----

On the way back, Helen Zhao kept holding Raymond's arm. The professor remained silent. He neither objected nor made any move to cater to the beautiful doctor when she tried to press against him. Instead, he hid aside.

Helen Zhao sighed softly, just supported Raymond and made no other small movements.

The two of them walked all the way back to Raymond's apartment without saying a word to each other.

When he arrived at the door, Raymond was about to go in, and at the same time notified his driver to take Helen Zhao home as well, but the doctor stopped the professor's hand on the phone:

"I haven't been to your house yet. Can I come in and sit down?"

Maybe he noticed that Raymond was very tired tonight, but Helen Zhao was surprisingly proactive. The doctor leaned forward slightly, with his hands behind his back, and smiled sweetly at the professor.

Raymond lowered his head and sighed. Without even thinking, he nodded and said, "Okay, come in."

The two of them changed their slippers, and Raymond collapsed on the sofa without saying a word. Helen Zhao went to the kitchen to do some work. After a while, she brought out a bowl of soup and said with a smile: "Drink it while it's hot. Wake up and warm up."

Raymond didn't reply. He was still just sitting on the sofa. He wanted to say, "Dr. Zhao, please come back." But thinking of what they had done tonight and not being able to offend her, he just remained silent.

Helen Zhao sat on the sofa opposite Raymond. After being silent for a while, she finally asked, "Is it because of Gwen?"

Only then did Raymond react. He sat up straight, took a sip of the soup made by Helen Zhao, and then sighed, which was regarded as acquiescence.

"A fight?" Zhao Hailun then asked tentatively.

"You can see it too..." Raymond sighed, finally responding to the doctor's question.

"It's quite obvious if they are in the same research group." Helen Zhao smiled and nodded. When the doctor lowered his head, he concealed the disappointment and sadness in his eyes - Raymond was considered an "official announcement" to her.

"I seem to be quite inhuman when I am with students..." Raymond sighed, "You think so too, right?"

"Of course I won't, and you also know that I won't. Regardless of our identities, you, me and Gwen are only in our twenties. It's normal to be attracted to each other."

Helen Zhao had already spoken to the point where she was close to a confession. When she said "we are attracted to each other," her voice even trembled.

"But what do you like about her, can I ask?"

Raymond was silent for a long time before answering: "Anchor, I think she is my anchor."

"Anchor?"

"Actually, it's not just her who said it. I myself also know what a dangerous cliff I'm walking on... Some mind control can be broken away, but if you actively engage in that field yourself, you may never be able to get rid of its control... ..." The professor sighed.

For Helen Zhao, Raymond Xu's involvement in taking down S.H.I.E.L.D. was not a secret from her, so she just remained silent for a while and then replied:

"I know what you are doing now is dangerous. Is Gwen trying to persuade you not to do it?"

"No..." Raymond shook his head, "She supports what I do, but she is afraid that I... may be in danger."

"Political matters are indeed very dangerous..." Helen Zhao pondered, "So did you quarrel because of this?"

"She's worried about me, but I also have to do what I'm doing, not just for me, but for her... but what I just did may have crossed a certain line, so... she You’re right, and that makes me even more anxious.”

"What about this thing, I mean this thing in general, does it cross the line?"

"No." Raymond shook his head, "It's impossible. This matter was for a just purpose. Although I can't tell you what it is,... it didn't cross the bottom line. I can ensure that."
