Chapter 111 Pepper's Enlightenment

Abigail's pursuit fell into a bottleneck period. Since then, neither the behind-the-scenes organization nor the Winter Soldier guessed by Director Ferry has appeared again. This phenomenon is as mysterious as the disappearance of the Winter Soldier once succeeded.Nick Ferry once analyzed that he did not succeed this time, because Lin Lan was still alive, so he was likely to make a comeback.But Steve believes that the target of the Winter Soldier's mission may not be Lin Lan, but Abigail, because someone wants to hire the bounty hunter to draw Lin Lan's blood, not to kill her.

But the Winter Soldier's purpose was to kill the bounty hunters, and from this point of view, his mission was a success.

As for the reason why the enemy is not attacking, it is most likely because Lin Lan is in Iron Man's sphere of influence. Of course, another possibility is that the enemy has underestimated the power of the target, and since he has exposed himself, it may not be possible in a short time reappear.

Based on Steve's analysis of Lin Lan's ability, it is not easy to assassinate her, let alone approach her.However, if the enemy really aims to kill, they will definitely send people to complete the mission from time to time, but if they have other plans, they probably won't make any more moves.

And Steve leans towards the latter.

What's more, now that S.H.I.E.L.D. has intervened in this matter, if the enemy wants to continue on the cusp, it would be really stupid.

"We have identified a few suspects in this trip list." Nick Ferry printed the suspect's appearance, name and biography on the stereoscopic projection, "If any of these people is too close to Lin Lan, You can pay more attention to them."

Some of these people belong to S.H.I.E.L.D., and some belong to the CIA. They all have many records.

"Rumlo?" Steve saw the familiar name, "Is he also on the list?"

Brock Rumlow joined S.H.I.E.L.D. a few years ago. He has excellent brains and skills. In just a few years, he became an action team specially established by S.H.I.E.L.D. to deal with special dangerous incidents, the rapid response special forces team leader.This man and Captain America have been on the same battlefield several times. Although we don’t have any friendship with him, Rumlow is brave and good at fighting. He has completed several rescue missions very well. Steve still has some points for him. appreciate.

"Remember when you said someone had entered your house?" Nick said.

"Hard to forget."

"You think I did it, but someone else actually did it." In order to convince Steve, Nick provided a few photos of the trespasser. In the picture, a short man opened the door with a master key. The door of Steve's room, and then walked in calmly, "I can give you the photo for identification, it's definitely not a composite." He knew Steve would be skeptical.

"I just want to ask, how did these photos come about." Although the photos were slightly blurred, Steve could still see the other person's face clearly, "Also, who is he?"

"Since I have spied on you, I will naturally install a pinhole camera device somewhere. But don't worry, it has been removed, after all, you have discovered the bug." Nick waved his hand, "This person's code name is 'Ten', You can call him Agent Ten."

Steve looked at the photo without speaking.

"You may not know that S.H.I.E.L.D. has a 50-man action team, and the people in it are code-named by numbers."

"You mean, people sent by S.H.I.E.L.D. entered my room, and it's hard not to think that you did it." Having said that, Steve felt that he would not have done it, But he must have done it, just not now, so Steve's displeasure isn't really an act of anger.

"He is Pierce's subordinate." Nick said, "Unfortunately, I can't tell you too much. There are some things that I need to investigate clearly before I can draw a conclusion."

"What about Rumlow?"

"He was also promoted by Pierce, although he has been under my jurisdiction since then." After watching Steve's reaction for a while, Nick said in a cautious voice, "I have no one to trust, because those people have been dead for a long time, although You don't agree with me, but I have to say, you can be trusted."

"Thank you for your trust." Steve waited for his next words without any emotional change.

"S.H.I.E.L.D. does have traitors." It was not easy for Nick Ferry to admit it. If he hadn't been sure, he would never have said so. "I'll just tell you about it, Captain."

"Why." He didn't know that the king of agents would casually confide his melancholy to others just because of trust.

"I hope that one day, when you see me appearing in your living room, you won't be too surprised to hit me on the head with vibrating gold." Nick Ferry has already begun to find a way out for himself, which is enough to show that he has Mortal consciousness, "Maybe I just need to find someone to talk to."

He spoke very cryptically, but Steve still heard a little helplessness from Nick's words, so he bowed his head slightly as a response.

The studio that Tony built for Lin Lan is in an open space next to the villa. During the day, she and Dr. Banner will arrange the exclusive laboratory that is about to be completed.Evenings are her time for phone calls with Steve, because she does miss her boyfriend terribly, although on the phone, she just chats about herself and about Steve.

The first draft of the Red Lizard's report had been sent to Gemma's mailbox a day ago, and it passed the review smoothly. Thanks to Dr. Banner's assistance, she was able to pass the test in one go, and of course Jarvis' proofreading.Oddly enough, she would have finalized her observations before going to Peru.Since it was an observation report, and she hardly observed the changes of the red lizard, how could Gemma trust herself so much.

However, even if she didn't witness it with her own eyes, Lin Lan could still know its various changes.

At Gemma's invitation, Lin Lan agreed to her graduation prom at the end of next month, which was a school-wide prom held by the academy for gifted students who graduated early.It sounds like the scale is quite large, although Lin Lan was not in the mood to think about the dance, but her mentor was too kind, so she agreed.

Other than that, she spends all her time meditating and practicing to stabilize her inner strength.Either by practicing the newly learned physics and chemistry courses repeatedly, life can be considered fulfilling.

The only fly in the ointment, her portable flute is broken, and Tony has obviously disposed of those things as garbage.I am afraid that in his eyes, those are scrap copper and rotten iron, no, rotten bamboo.She didn't have any material to relieve boredom in a short time, so when she had nothing to do, she could only stand on the roof overlooking the sea in a daze, or sit in the exclusive laboratory that hadn't been fully renovated to meditate.

Lin Lan couldn't bear the current situation. She and Tony were clearly under the same roof, but they could hardly meet each other.Because his house is big and empty, and there are so many rooms.Even if he accidentally bumped into each other occasionally, he would either turn around and leave, or pass by with a blank expression like a stranger without saying a word, and the atmosphere was quite heavy.

The most disturbing thing was that Tony refused to drink the medicine she made since then. Seeing that a course of treatment was coming to an end, his body should have started to gradually improve, but now everything was back to normal.

Tony complained more than once that taking this dark bitter potion didn't seem to improve his health. He still had nightmares and occasional insomnia, and his complexion seemed to be the same as when he didn't drink it.He didn't want to drink it for a long time. Lin Lan knew that no one would like traditional Chinese medicine, which was unpalatable and the portion was enough.Lin Lan can only tell him that this kind of thing is not a special medicine, it will be effective once you take it, what he wants is conditioning, not a cure for the disease, it takes time to accumulate the curative effect to work, at least it will take three months, And Tony obviously didn't have the patience to witness a miracle.

Lin Lan wasn't sure whether Tony was angry with him these days, or he didn't believe in traditional Chinese medicine at all, which made Lin Lan very anxious, but helpless.

"Lorraine, hey, sorry, did I bother you?"

Pep Potts knocked on the glass door of Lin Lan's studio, and it took a long time before such a sound caught Lin Lan's attention.

"Pep, when did you come back?" She was sitting with her back to the door, and she didn't even notice anyone approaching. She didn't come back from meditation until Pep knocked on the glass door, "Of course I won't disturb you." , In fact, I'm not doing anything." As if seeing a life-saving grass, Lin Lan went up to greet her, "Pep, I may need your help."

"I'm so happy." Pep was dressed casually, his face was flushed, and he was in great spirits. Even the dark spots of melanin caused by years of makeup have subsided a lot, "Actually, I just want to thank you. Those pills are really good. It works so well, my stomach pains are gone.”

"As long as it works." Lin Lan pulled up a chair, and the two of them sat facing each other, "Let me see, Pep, I think you have become beautiful again."

Pep held his face in one hand and made a happy expression: "This is your credit, and my colleagues say so."

"It's because you took the medicine on time." Pep's affirmation gave Lin Lan confidence, "Thank you for trusting my medicine, but Tony is not so obedient, can you persuade me, those medicines are hard to buy , I searched for several Chinese medicine shops before and got it back.” But in a few days, the stock will be used up, and she can’t go to buy it in person.

"I will persuade him, you don't have to worry, it's fine, Tony is fine now." Because he already knew the cause of the conflict between the two, Pep comforted her and said, "Lorraine, I represent you." Tony apologizes to you, but I swear he definitely doesn’t want to fire that shot.” ​​Pep’s purpose here is not only to thank him, but also to persuade him, “He regrets it very much now, he really regrets it.”

Hearing Tony's name, Lin Lan didn't know what expression to use to face her future sister-in-law: "It's okay, I'm not hurt." After all, it's not the sister-in-law who should apologize, but the elder brother.

"You see, the two of us usually don't have much time to chat together. As a sister, I can't share your troubles. I really don't think I'm competent." Pep put his hand on her shoulder, "Tony I’m sorry about changing your nationality, in fact, I was also involved in it, but I thought he had indeed discussed with you and had already obtained consent.” The change of nationality was brought up by Tony on the spur of the moment more than half a month ago. out, but not for nothing.Pep remembers getting excited about it and asking Pep to say nothing first.

At that time, she felt that Tony had decided this matter too hastily, and Pep believed that the parties should apply themselves instead of arranging through Tony's relationship.But he claimed that he had already hinted at Lin Lan, and the answer he got was yes. Moreover, Tony kept emphasizing surprises, and Pep didn't want him to be disappointed.

Obviously, Tony is a bit wishful thinking on this matter,

"If you want, I can help you change it back, and it won't take too long." Pep's eyes were full of deep apology, and she felt that this was caused by her own ineffective supervision.

Lin Lan was not completely angry because she became an American citizen. Even though she was a little shocked by the sudden change in the situation at the time, even if she was not an American citizen, with her current status, she would definitely stay in the United States for a longer time .It was as if Zhu Naxi said that she felt that she would never come back. Of course Lin Lan would go back, but she would just settle here.Therefore, it really doesn't matter what nationality it is, she has long since let it go.

So, she said to Pep: "Don't be so troublesome, I don't reject becoming an American citizen, I just can't accept his act first."

"what?"

"It means that he decides my affairs on his own without consulting me, and he is unreasonable."

Pep nodded and said mercilessly, "Tony is a jerk sometimes."

Lin Lan couldn't help laughing.

"Actually, there is a reason why he was so eager to change your nationality." Pep continued after making her laugh, "Tony wanted to transfer [-]% of Stark Industries shares to your name." Next, you know, you are very important to him. But because you are not fair in the United States and you are underage, the board of directors did not pass his proposal. For this reason, Tony had a big fight with those old guys."

"Give me shares?" Lin Lan was still a little confused, "Why did you give me shares, no, wait, what is a share?"

"He always wanted you to have your own assets. I guess he gave you a credit card and transferred money to your account every month. But you never used it. He was hit hard by it." Pep said here He couldn't help laughing, "The shares represent partial ownership of the company. Of course, you will also have a share of Stark Industries' profits."

Lin Lan didn't know what to say, she looked around in astonishment, a little panicked.

"Lorraine, I didn't think so before, but now I feel more and more that you and Tony are very similar, especially when you blink your eyes." Pep paused and said, "But you are much gentler than him, and you are more pleasant. I like it a lot, I guess at school, the boys who pursue you must have to queue up, right?"

There were indeed many suitors when they were in college, but Lin Lan didn't know if they needed to line up or not, she didn't count them.

"Tony shouldn't have been rough on you. I really regret not giving him a slap, but I did teach him a lesson. How could he use force on such a lovely lady? He's never done that before. I think you must have been scared at the time." Is it broken?" Pep is a gentle woman, and she never expressed dissatisfaction with Tony's courtship to other women, and she also likes the girl opposite in the spirit of love for the house.

In particular, she has a pair of eye sockets similar to Tony's.

Lin Lan was not frightened, but Dr. Banner was probably frightened enough. Afterwards, he could not believe that Lin Lan would have such agility and strength to compete with steel machines, because she looked too weak.But when he said this, he seemed to be very happy, what to say, it was the first time he saw Tony being beaten by a woman riding under him.

Although she didn't beat it down.

Pep hadn't seen Lin Lan's ability before, so she said this with a distressed look: "How could Tony be willing to do such a thing?"

"Pep, I'm not so easily scared." Although the weapon had been destroyed by Tony, she was angry for several days, "With you by his side, I feel at ease."

"Don't say that about Lorraine, are you planning to leave here?"

"I'm sorry, Pep, since I came here, I always seem to be causing trouble for you two." Lin Lan tried to keep a smile, telling the truth in a flat tone, "But this is your home and Tony's home, I I really like the environment here, really, the air is good, the room is big and comfortable, and Jarvis can chat with me 24 hours a day to relieve boredom. Of course, I also like you very much, and Tony, in fact, I like him, he does not But my relative, who is still a superhero, but I don't think I can get along with him, we always fight."

"Honey, it's normal to argue, and I often quarrel with him." Pep's eyes were sympathetic and unbearable, "Lorraine, it's a pity that this place doesn't feel like home to you, and sometimes I think it's inappropriate .But to be honest, Tony and I get together less often, and both parties have to bear some responsibility for this. But we are really happy to have you, we have never felt that you are superfluous, on the contrary, since you live here , When I come back every week, there are ready-made dinners and breakfasts, this feeling is so wonderful. And if you leave, Tony and I will be very sad, I hope you can think carefully about it."

"Pep." After Lin Lan heard this, she was moved and wanted to laugh, "I don't think I will hold such a heavy weight in your hearts. You know, we haven't known each other for a long time. Don't worry, even if I don't come back to live , I will also make pills for you, and how about sending you delicious meals once in a while?"

"Do you think I'm here for small pills and meals? Lorraine, well, I have to admit that I really like your craftsmanship." Pep smiled shyly under his head, "But I really regard you as my sister , you know, I also have a younger sister and a younger brother, but they study far away, and we sometimes don’t see each other a few times a year. Sometimes we can’t even say a few words when we meet, you know, young people in the United States advocate freedom , but they don’t really know what freedom is, and they think it’s cool not to be with their families…”

Lin Lan just looked at Pep and talked about more and more distant topics.

"Sorry." Her apologetic smile was full of powerlessness, and it seemed that she had some unpleasantness with her family, but it must be much better than her and Tony, "I'm a bit far away, Laura ( Rolla) always said that I like to nag like my mother. Rolla is my sister. As I mentioned before, she is one year older than you." Pep explained to himself, "Actually, after meeting you , I have been studying how to get along with Chinese girls, and I think maybe I am not doing well enough."

Lin Lan hurriedly said: "No, no, it's my problem. I'm sorry, I misinterpreted your meaning. Besides, I don't think you're nagging. I'm nagging more than you, you know."

"I know, it's okay, because we don't know each other well enough, so sometimes we feel awkward, but we have a lot of time. Just remember, this place will always be your home." Pep tried hard to persuade Lin Lan to give up the idea of ​​leaving , "Maybe Tony did something unforgivable. After all, he didn't understand your real needs. He didn't know how to express his concern. This is Tony's shortcoming, but I can guarantee that he really loves you. You You know, he doesn't even take the nutrients Jarvis prescribed, he only believed in the diagnosis given by Jarvis before."

Pep's kind persuasion really played a very good role. In particular, she used the deep word "love" to express Tony's concern for her relatives, which flattered Lin Lan.

She had always thought that Tony hated her so badly.

Lin Lan breathed a sigh of relief: "Pep, can I hug you?"

"Of course, why not?" Pep took the initiative to hug Lin Lan, "Good boy."

Pep is almost 40 years old this year, but she is not much older than Lin Lan's real age. Sometimes she finds it strange to be called a child by such a person, but she enjoys this kind of intimate title: " Pep, do you know why Tony doesn't like Steve?"

She didn't give a positive answer, maybe because she felt that Tony's private affairs would be betrayed by telling him from her mouth: "Son, maybe you should really get to know the former Tony Stark, and you will find that he He is really a person worthy of love." Pep patted Lin Lan on the back and said, "Since he came back from Afghanistan three years ago, his whole person has changed, but I think something must have happened to him, Although he didn't say anything."

"Will you tell me all about Tony?"

"No one knows him better than Jarvis," Pep said. "He knows everything about the playboy better than I do."

Lin Lan remained silent, she was thinking.

"Oh, that's right." Pep suddenly let go of his arms, "You still have one percent of the shares, and Tony insisted on giving you this one percent a week ago. Although the board of directors still has objections, you know , no one can stop his decision-making. And now that you are an American citizen, the top management has nothing to say."

A week ago, it was the day they fought each other in the studio.

Although Pep Potts is the executive CEO, Tony, who owns 70.00% of the entire Stark Industries shares, still has the absolute right to speak. In fact, he originally owned 80.00% of the shares, but after appreciating Pep, he gave them to her ten percent.As for now, Tony also occupies the vast majority of the shares, 60.00%.

Well, cute little numbers.

Lin Lan thought for a while, and asked uncertainly, "One percent of the shares should be, not much, right?"

"Yes, not much." Pep said, "Less than 100 billion."

"What?" Lin Lan was a little out of breath, "U.S. dollars?"

"No." Pep replied casually: "It's just pounds."
