[Zhongyingmei] After inheriting the throne

Chapter 46 The Tower of Thorns

At the dinner party that day, Roman went out wearing the pink suit that made her hesitate to speak.

To be honest, the suit is very good-looking, the color Cinderella chose is not gaudy, and the tailoring is also the craftsmanship of an old tailor, which makes her look energetic and coquettish.

Roman's hair has been taken care of by Cinderella herself, and the slanted bangs have a little bit of a bad boy feel, and with that set, now she really looks like a little boy.

When Pepper saw Roman, he laughed directly.

"You look, make me feel very rich."

"Never been richer," Pepper quipped.

She wore an off-white dress suit today, which matched Roman's pink suit very well.But like she said, there still seems to be a significant age gap between the two of them.

Roman pursed his lips and blew a breath, pushing his bangs upwards, like those hairy boys, with their own blower effect, playing handsome towards the girl they love.She adjusted the white square scarf on her chest with a little embarrassment, and then stretched out her hand.

Pepper also reached out knowingly, and took her arm.

In this way, they rushed to the dinner with their excellent outfits enough to walk on the red carpet, which attracted the attention of many people.

It's rare for Pepper to be so high-profile, and it's not because she wants to clean up the public relations crisis left by her boyfriend.She deliberately gave Roman a platform, so that through these twists and turns, her friend could get better job opportunities.

The tabloid reporters who witnessed the two people entering the venue were, at first, so excited by the possible scandal that they almost couldn’t hold their cameras, but after a while, those who were more sensitive discovered that it was the recent meeting with Pepper. The two new female models who got close to each other publicly declared their deep friendship with each other on social networks, but they felt dull again.

The days without Stark are too lonely.

Roman obediently stood by Pepper's side in front of the vase.Even if she was going to take a break in the middle, to touch up her makeup or something, there was no suitable reason to take her away from Pepper.

She glanced at Happy, who was guarding the edge of the field, and the other party was using all kinds of clumsy movements to hide his attention from Pepper.

It was only two weeks ago that Roman showed off her well-trained and beautiful muscles in front of Happy.They sparred a few times, and it turned out that Roman won a complete victory, within three seconds.

Therefore, Happy agreed to accompany Pepper, at least in her private time, he would no longer follow Pepper closely and be overprotective.

Happy is an old-school guy.After confirming that Roman is Pepper's friend, he greeted Roman with a smile.However, contrary to his attitude, Tony, who is well-informed and wild, has raised more vigilance towards Roman, lest she is a lesbian who intends to pry into the corner of his own wall.

Roman smiled, and listened to Pepper rolling his eyes and complaining to her about the silly boyfriend. By the way, he figured out what the other party was thinking, and thoughtfully showed his long hair photos to show his innocence.

"OMG, it's really you," Pepper exclaimed.

"Uh huh" Roman was noncommittal.

"Then why did you cut off such long hair?" Pepper's voice contained a trace of regret and heartache.

It was so smooth, so beautiful and lustrous, like silk woven of gold.

"Because, I have successfully challenged the Guinness Book of World Records," Roman joked.

As she spoke, she reached out and took out a small bag from her bag, and handed it to Pepper.

"If you don't mind." She rarely showed a look of helplessness on her face.

Inside the sealed pouch was a small bundle of hair tied up with a ribbon.It is not accurate to say that it is a bundle, because there is actually only one hair in it, a hair of a length beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

Its color is light gold, even after being cut for a long time, it is still extremely smooth, shiny and elastic, just like some worsted embroidery thread.

According to the custom in the legend, hair seems to be an indispensable curse prop. Give the hair to Pepper, will she misunderstand me because of this?

Roman stretched out his hand before realizing what was wrong with him.

"This is your hair." Pepper took it and found that it was indeed longer than it appeared in the photo.

"Well, if my parents are close, they will give their hair as a symbol of friendship to each other." Roman turned his head, rolling his eyes and making up.The second half of her sentence is true. "Long like this, it is usually a gift of blessing, and carrying it will bring good luck."

There is a living energy in there.

"No, I'm glad." Pepper accepted, though it seemed odd.

Roman took a glass of champagne and pretended to follow Pepper.There was an endless stream of people coming to say hello to Pepper.This is an elite strong woman who captured Iron Man's prodigal son's heart, and after mastering the transformed Stark Industries, abruptly pulled back the falling stock price and turned the tide.

Roman's eyes swept over them, and then he turned his attention to a man who also had an elite temperament.

"Hi, Pepper."

"Killian" Pepper seemed to recognize each other.

In terms of address, I'm not very familiar, at least not like a friend.Is a previously contacted partner

Roman tactfully gave up a little space.

"Call me Aldridge." The man chatted with Pepper, and the atmosphere was harmonious.

Roman drank what was left in his glass and put the empty glass back on the passing waiter's tray.Her hanging hand happened to slide across naturally, and lightly tapped the dial on her wrist twice.

After receiving the signal, Cinderella, who was connected at the other end, would happily call up the man's profile.

Roman didn't know the inside story, she just had an intuition that this man was dangerous.There is a strong desire in him, and this desire may not be directed at Pepper, but she dare not bet on that one out of ten thousand.

Cinderella's efficiency is very fast, displaying the found information through the contact lenses she wears.

Roman adjusted the focal length and sequenced the basic information several times.

Strangely, this man identified as a scientist has not been active in academia for five years.

Although Cinderella quickly added a copy, it perfectly explained the case records he had been recuperating for the past five years.

Still something is wrong.

Roman glanced again without leaving a trace.

They have agreed that the next time Killian will visit and bring his research to seek an investment.

Through his eyes, Roman typed on the virtual screen through the lens, "Can you scan him?"

"No, this is beyond the current technology." Cinderella admitted defeat without any struggle.

It's just a normal pair of portable est-grade smart glasses.

Roman regretfully withdraws his gaze from the man.

After attending the banquet, Happy drove Pepper back. Roman declined Happy's offer of a ride for her, and walked on the street alone.

She doesn't usually drink much, but she didn't expect the alcohol to come very quickly. Her eyes and cheeks were flushed, but there was a little more vitality in her eyes.

Getting drunk is an amazing feeling.However, Roman didn't drink much, so the alcohol came and went quickly, and when she reached the next intersection, she was already sober.

This body with excellent physical fitness has accelerated the metabolism of the human body.

At this moment, Roman suddenly thought of something.

The feeling that the man gave her seemed a little familiar.

She herself should have never seen that man before.Therefore, this so-called familiarity does not come from Gladys, but from Lapezel's perception.

If he can leave an impression on Rapezel, he thinks that this man must have come into contact with "Rapunzel".

Roman is wide awake.She immediately passed the message to Cinderella.Cinderella hadn't finished work yet, so she immediately took the copy left by Francis and hacked into all the monitors silently.

The figure of Aldrich Killian appeared and disappeared on the monitor, gradually connecting the dots into a line, drawing a direction.

Roman wanted to catch up, but was held down by Cinderella.

"Wait a minute, let me check his information again."

"Is there anything else you haven't dug up"

"It is impossible for a person to disappear for five years without leaving a trace." Cinderella said, "Killian's information is very clean, too clean."

"I found out that he had cooperated with the military before. So, this may have been cleared up by the authorities. I can't get more specific information on this part with my authority."

Killian's whereabouts were also sorted out at the same time, but Cinderella told her to go back first, "Come back first. He returned to the hotel and his whereabouts are normal. Don't follow."

Roman stopped in his tracks, then obediently returned to the apartment.

When she came back, Cinderella was scanning up and down with the detector, and scanned her twice.

After Cinderella put down the instrument, Roman said, "Am I being targeted or are we being targeted?"

"It's nothing." Cinderella's series of operations made her nervous, and then she panted and explained, "Just in case. Francis said that he seems to be stalked by his own kind recently."

Roman unbuttoned his suit and said, "So, what happened to Killian?"

"I just dug that, of course, and it's my speculation that Killian's partnership with the military ended in failure."

"and then"

"So, the project he said he hoped Pepper would be interested in was either his pursuit of the truth, and after years of tireless research, the project finally had a breakthrough; or it was influenced by lettuce."

"But, look, what did I find?" Cinderella handed the tablet to Roman.

Roman looked down, and there were two photos posted on it. One was of Killian, and the other was of a strange woman. The introduction on the side indicated that she was also a scientist.And what connected them together was a company called Pioneer Technology.

They seem to work together as a team.

Cinderella drew out another form, which showed that Pioneer Technology had purchased a large number of FH series products. Of course, this is what she found after digging.

And now, the small company that launched FH is about to be acquired by Pioneer Technology.

"It seems that their sense of smell is very keen." Roman said with emotion.

Killian and the others must have discovered "Lettuce" and prepared, no, maybe they have already made a move.

But why do they need "lettuce"? Their research direction seems to have nothing to do with this.Or, on the issue of gene repair, does "lettuce" have some magical effect that they didn't realize
