Because of Joanna's statement, Bruce has maintained a gentleman's tone since the second sentence.Thinking of him, Bruce, a veteran in the love scene, who has always played a playboy and a scumbag for so many years, and suddenly played a great and upright entrepreneur is really a bit... uncomfortable.

Joanna, who already had some understanding of Bruce's behavior style, was of course not so naive as to think that Bruce's change was for her.She just carefully kept a distance from the financial tycoon.Neither cold nor warm.Joanna just hoped that whatever interest Bruce had in her would fade as quickly as possible.

Because of Joanna's caution and defensiveness, it took Bruce a moment to pry Joanna's mouth open and let her talk about Harley Quinn.Of course, in Joanna's account, that's just Harleen Quizell.

Joanna: Let me tell you this, I think this thing is weird.I mean, there's no criminal out there who can't be caught.I deeply suspect that the Gotham PD is lying to me.

Bruce: The police system is the same all over America.I don't doubt at all that the Gotham PD will lie to you.But, to be honest, if Sergeant Gordon is on the scene, I think the real situation is probably not much different from what you hear.

Joanna: Sheriff Gordon?James Gordon?

Bruce: Yeah, I've had a few encounters with him, and he's a pretty decent guy.

Joanna: Come on, the last time he called me he said he was with Batman!

Bruce stared at Joanna's message at the group's work meeting and fell silent.The director of the marketing department who was reporting to work saw the boss's serious face, and couldn't help but took out a handkerchief to wipe the cold sweat on his forehead.

Bruce: Batman?I didn't know Sheriff Gordon had any connection with him.

Joanna: See, so you don't know James Gordon as well as you think you do.Whether he is a decent man or not is hard to say.Either he lied to me at the time, or he was connected to fringe people.

Considering that Bruce is also from Gotham, Joanna might like their Gotham legend quite a bit. In order to avoid unnecessary conflicts, Joanna added another message before Bruce replied.

Joanna: I'm not saying there's anything bad about Batman.

Bruce, who was typing, stopped and waited quietly for Joanna to continue writing.

Joanna: It's just that he is controversial after all, and a responsible sheriff should not come and go to Inter Milan with him.I'd be devastated if I was on the PR team for the Gotham Police Department.

Bruce: Glad you're not.

Joanna: [Smile.jpg]

In order to find out how deeply Joanna was involved in the clown escape case, Bruce chatted back and forth with Joanna for nearly three months.Sometimes things go well and he can easily get the information he needs.Sometimes it doesn't go so well, because Joanna on the other end of the network is constantly cursing S.H.I.E.L.D.

In a blink of an eye, it entered winter.On the day of Gotham's first light snowfall, Joanna did not scold S.H.I.E.L.D. for the first time.Her tone of conversation was brisk and full of energy.Bruce didn't ask much, and Joanna shared with Bruce the good news that her project plan had passed the review.

That day, Bruce only replied with "Congratulations", and there was no more news.Joanna thought it was because the financial boss couldn't empathize with the excitement of a small employee like her achieving small results, but in fact, Bruce had already obtained reliable information.The Joker and Harley Quinn are out tonight near Gotham's vaults.

That night, the clown left Harley Quinn and ran away alone.When Bruce caught Harley Quinn, Joanna, who was far away in Washington, was staring at her computer screen and writing materials.There was something wrong with the heating at home. Joanna suddenly felt a chill. She sneezed and wrapped herself in the pajamas involuntarily.

Early the next morning, Joanna went to Wilson's office to make a report with the written materials.But to her surprise, Brock Rumlow was also sitting in Wilson's office.

The moment she knocked on the door and entered, Joanna was stunned.

Rumlow turned his head and smiled at Joanna at the door.It was a polite smile.Joanna didn't know why Rumlow appeared here, so she could only ignore him bluntly and focus all her attention on Wilson.

"Rickman, sit down." Wilson took the material from Joanna, lowered his head and said casually.

Joanna sat down on the chair next to Rumlow a little uncomfortably.

"You also know that your public relations plan is highly controversial. Moreover, this plan involves the safety of the personnel of the Special Operations Department, so they specially sent Agent Rumlow to cooperate with us."

As soon as Wilson finished speaking, Rumlow greeted Joanna nonchalantly, as if seeing Joanna for the first time.Joanna responded in the same way.The two had no further communication.

After finishing Joanna's materials, Wilson raised his head and looked at the two of them: "Rickman, you came up with the plan, and you must know better than me what obstacles you will encounter. I hope you can talk to Lang Agent Mlo should cooperate well, at least not to intensify the conflict between the special operations department and the public relations department because of some unnecessary misunderstandings."

"I understand." Joanna answered calmly and decently, acting like a scene person.

Wilson looked at Rumlow again: "Agent Rumlow, I really appreciate you coming to discuss work with us in person. No matter what you think about the plan, I would like to express my sincere thanks."

"Because I can come here today?" Rumlow raised his eyebrows, his attitude was very ambiguous.

"I came here today for you."

Rumlow didn't answer the call, but with an expression of "ah, whatever you want", he took out his mobile phone from his bag, turned his head to look at Joanna: "Leave a contact information."

Joanna didn't move, her eyes flicked back and forth between Rumlow and Wilson.

Wilson still stared at Rumlow: "There is a phone in the office."

Rumlow looked up at Wilson with a sarcastic expression: "I thought Minister Wilson knew that our agents don't have an office."

Wilson stopped talking, and a tense atmosphere suddenly filled the room.

Joanna thought for a while, then took out her mobile phone from her bag: "What's your phone number?"

"Add friends on Facebook." Rumlow said casually.

Joanna raised her head in surprise.

"I don't want an unimportant phone call in the middle of a mission."

Well, you are an agent and you have the final say.

Joanna pursed her mouth, and became friends with Rumlow.

Rumlow stood up, bowed to Wilson without sincerity, and said, "Then I'll take my leave first."

Wilson said "Thanks for your hard work" without warmth, and then watched Rumlow leave.

As soon as the door was closed, Wilson leaned back on the office chair and let out a long breath.Joanna didn't dare to say anything, she sat quietly at the desk, waiting for her minister to adjust her mood.

"Rickman."

Wilson called her name suddenly, with an indescribable tension in his voice.Joanna shivered in fright: "Yes."

Wilson sat up straight and looked at Joanna: "The director saw me the day before yesterday."

"Chief Ferry?"

Wilson nodded: "Rickman, S.H.I.E.L.D. is not as united as everyone imagined. I hope you have the insight to see all this."

The words were a little scary, and Joanna thought of her attack in Boston and her and Steve's speculation about everything.Joanna instinctively realized that there was an insider in S.H.I.E.L.D., and it was a certainty.But why did Wilson mention Nick Fury?Who is the ghost of S.H.I.E.L.D.?

Joanna only felt a chill down her spine.

At this moment, she missed Steve, who hadn't contacted her for a long time.

That afternoon, Joanna found Rumlow who had been following her on the subway.The other party seemed to have no intention of hiding his whereabouts. When Joanna found him, Rumlow signaled Joanna to get off the bus two stops earlier.

Joanna couldn't figure out Rumlow's intentions, but she had always had a strange sense of trust in Rumlow.So far at least, Rumlow hasn't done anything against her or let her down other than hiding from her that he's an Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D.Of course, judging from all the signs, Joanna can't be sure that Rumlow is not the ghost of S.H.I.E.L.D., but so what?If Rumlow is really the insider and has already targeted her, even if she doesn't cooperate with Rumlow, the opponent will find an opportunity to attack.

You can hide from the first day of junior high school, but you can't hide from the fifteenth day.

Joanna shook her head and got off the subway two stops earlier according to Rumlow's wishes.

After leaving the subway station, it didn't take long for Rumlow to follow.While looking around the situation, he approached Joanna.

"Let's go, let's find a place where we can talk." Rumlow said in a relaxed tone, without the indifference he had in Wilson's office this morning.

"Honestly, you're making me a little nervous."

Rumlow laughed. "Think of it as an occupational disease. Believe me, we're safe now. I just have to, say? Be more careful."

Joanna followed Rumlow and walked towards a quiet street: "Where are you going to take me?"

Rumlow could hear the nervousness that Joanna was deliberately covering up. He looked at Joanna's face and showed a comforting smile: "Just looking for a restaurant that is not monitored. I know one, and the taste is very good. The decoration is not very good. OK, but I think you can understand."

After hearing this, Joanna didn't express any further opinions, but quietly followed Rumlow into a small restaurant.

Rumlow is right, the decoration of the restaurant is indeed a bit... unbearable to look at.Even the dining tables and chairs look like they were left over from the last century, and there is an old smell everywhere in the store.Fortunately, the store is fairly quiet, and the chef's food is really enjoyable.

After Joanna showed her satisfaction with the food, Rumlow said, "Joanna, do you still remember what I told you last time?"

"S.H.I.E.L.D. isn't safe?"

Rumlow nodded: "You probably don't know how much controversy your PR plan has caused."

Joanna frowned: "Should I be worried?"

"Yes. But I'm not worried about getting fired, I'm worried about your safety." Rumlow's expression was serious, but he didn't mean to scare Joanna, "The Special Operations Department is very dissatisfied with your plan now. Joanna, no special agent will willing to reveal their identity."

Joanna nodded: "I understand, the mission needs it! But I don't want to expose the identity of the agents, I mean, we have to let the media let the public understand the state of the agents outside of work. I didn't let the agents disclose their status. I wrote it clearly in the plan. This matter is handled by the public relations department. We just want to put some jokes about the daily life of the agents. I think the public should know the other side of the agents. Maybe they'll find the agent to be...um...cute?"

Rumlow couldn't help but laughed, from the bottom of his heart: "Joanna, I think you are quite cute."

Joanna closed her mouth a little unhappy.

"Who are you going to attack?" Rumlow stared at Joanna's face, as if he planned to fully support Joanna.
