Superhero's Physician[Comprehensive]
Chapter 195 General Ross
Lin Lan was sitting in a taxi, and through the rearview mirror outside the car window, she could still see a black Cadillac following her. This government car from the Pentagon kept a safe distance from her and had already followed for more than one hour. Hour.Patience is really good, Lin Lan thought, it seems that she is determined to take her back to her life.
Fortunately, the other party couldn't take Lin Lan away forcibly because there was no reasonable reason, although he definitely wanted to do so very much.And Lin Lan didn't want to listen to the other party's talk at all, so he had no choice but to follow silently.
Thinking of the scene at the airport gate just now, it was indeed funny. The man in the suit was almost sent to the police station. I don't know what he took out to prove his identity before he escaped.Lin Lan could clearly see that the other party's face was turning green with anger, but he didn't come hard afterwards, which meant that his superiors didn't give him this right.He was just very angry and straightened his suit and tie. When he wanted to continue dealing with Lin Lan, Lin Lan had already packed up the trivial things with the help of others and got into the current taxi.
It is definitely not a good thing to be approached by people from the US Department of Defense. It is not referring to Sang Huahuai's criticism of the Avengers, or various data from various property loss reports.This is not the first time, but Lin Lan was not at the Avengers base when receiving visitors from the Ministry of National Defense a few times before. Afterwards, when I heard Steve talk about it, it was not very friendly but repeated many times. .
Sokovia has indeed dealt a heavy blow to the world. Some people equated superheroes with terrorists and began to create various rumors to incite people.Such a small number has put great pressure on the government, and they have to pass this pressure on to the Avengers. It is naturally not good news to come and go.
And this time the Ministry of National Defense came to her alone, and after meeting Bucky, she had to guard against such a coincidence.Lin Lan had to consider any situation that might happen next and how to deal with it, because that car was definitely available, embarrassing the government was embarrassing himself, and taking him around in circles was just to delay time and think about strategies.
Lin Lan took out his phone for the fourth time and looked at it. Steve didn’t reply to the text message. There is only one possibility for this situation, he is on a mission; and the message Lin Lan sent to Tony also disappeared, which is a bit confusing. Heart flustered.
Is the government trying to break down one by one?
But what are they trying to break?The Avengers did not do anything earth-shattering, nor did they threaten the status of the government. Although the existence of the Avengers made a few people feel uneasy, they still have a lot of followers overall.
"Are you an international student, Miss?" The driver felt that the atmosphere was not good during the one hour of silence, even if pop music was playing on the radio, the depression could not be dispelled, "China, or Japan?"
"China." Lin Lan replied concisely.
The driver is a black uncle, but he may not be as young as he looks on the surface, maybe sixty, because the front of his beard is a little gray.The driver's driving skills are very stable, but also very slow, which is a bit different from Lin Lan's feeling when taking other taxis.
But she was just going around in circles, and she didn't have a clear destination, so the old driver still drove for an hour without stopping, but just asked him to keep driving in the city without stopping.The number on the meter jumps quickly and has risen to three digits. It may be for this reason that the old driver had to remind the passengers.
In the past, Lin Lan would definitely have chosen to take the subway or the airport bus, but today's situation is special, and she doesn't plan to pay herself later.
"China, it's a nice place." The driver said, "I've seen it on TV, it's all red."
Lin Lan doesn't like chatting with strange drivers in the car, so she is used to sitting in the back row, but today she chose the passenger seat for the convenience of looking in the side-view mirror.Lin Lan cleared her throat, turned her head and said, "I'm here for tourism, can you take me around the center of New York, such as some must-see attractions, can I charter your car?"
"Aren't we going around?" The driver said with a smile, "There is no need for a chartered car. I have to go back to have dinner at five o'clock, or my wife will be unhappy. Excuse me, I guess you must not be a traveler."
"Why do you say that?"
"I have driven a lot of passengers. They usually don't go sightseeing with their suitcases after they get off the plane. They should go back to the hotel first." The driver turned his head to the side. "Maybe there is something wrong with your boyfriend?"
Lin Lan thought for a while, then decided to follow his words: "Yes, you are amazing. Did you see the black car in the back? It's my boyfriend's car. He has been following us for an hour. He'll pay you later, so please just drive, I won't get out of the car until five o'clock, if you're willing to help a lady who's heartbroken because she cheated on her boyfriend."
The driver glanced in the rearview mirror and said, "A beautiful lady like you, he would actually choose to cheat. What a scumbag."
"Yes, my good sisters said the same thing, but I still came to him from China to ask for an explanation." Lin Lan really didn't want to continue talking nonsense, so she bent down and pointed at the place she was most familiar with. Turn, "This building is so special."
"Yes, of course, of course it's very special, that's the Avengers Building!" The driver seemed to have suddenly ignited his passion, and he didn't care about the cheating man anymore. He stepped on the brakes and slowed down the car to twenty miles, "But in A year ago, it was Stark Tower, do you know Stark, Tony Stark?"
"I know, Iron Man." Lin Lan did not echo the other party's enthusiasm, but instead said, "But I'm not familiar with him, can you introduce him to me?"
The old driver spoke very highly of Tony, almost all of which were good words. He also learned about some unknown public welfare undertakings of Tony, and it seemed that he paid attention to them deliberately.The old driver was almost killed by the laser gun of the Chirita in the New York War a few years ago. It was Iron Man who rescued him and his wife from the top floor of the department store. Of course, there were not only the two of them, but also a dozen names of trapped persons.
From then on, he started to collect all the information about Tony, and now he can be regarded as a Starkton.
"You know, when it was still Stark Tower, people often sat in a nearby open-air cafe, holding a mobile phone or a long lens and waiting for the whole afternoon, just to see the style of Iron Man flying home." He was a little He said regretfully, "However, in the past two years, Tony seems to have rarely flew over our heads, and the Avengers Building has also become an energy supply building."
Tony has indeed become more and more low-key. Since the day he took down the reactor, he has gradually changed from a high-spirited superhero to a prudent scientist.
It would be nice for Tony to know that there are still people who still miss the coolness of his hovering over New York.
Lin Lan was elated, but still said in a cold tone: "Why do I hear people say that his steel armor caused the death and injury of many innocent people?"
"That's their nonsense, they're just jealous, jealous of those who were successfully saved by Iron Man, like me, those guys are unlucky themselves, but blame Tony." The driver said angrily, "They're like Bite like a mad dog, you can't expect one Iron Man to save the world, there will always be omissions, the police can't catch all the thieves in downtown New York, there are shootings every day, don't you?" He paused After a while, he continued in a reverent tone, "I have personally seen Iron Man flying into the wormhole with a nuclear bomb in his arms. He is less than a hundred meters away from me. I can see it very clearly. He is the only one."
"Thank you." Lin Lan felt relieved, "I will convey your support to Tony.
Maybe this way, he'll feel less bad about himself.
The old driver grinned happily, and it took a few seconds for him to react. He stared at Lin Lan's face from time to time, and asked in a very uncertain tone: "You are, you are a member of the Avengers Alliance. Any relevant staff, can you see Tony?"
"Yes, occasionally." Lin Lan thought that the other party recognized her, "You know, he is very busy. Besides, he has withdrawn from the alliance and is only a consultant, so he will not often appear in my work scope."
"Oh, really, you're not kidding, you're lucky!" the old driver said, "It must be great to work with superheroes!"
"What do you think of Captain America?" Lin Lan asked suddenly, "Does he have a higher evaluation?"
The driver thought about it for a while, and said regretfully, "I'm sorry, miss, my impression of Captain America is only in the museum. He is too legendary and far away from us."
Lin Lan wanted to say that he was actually among us, but at this moment the phone felt a vibration, interrupting the conversation.
She also thought it would be Steve or Tony calling, but there was a string of very unfamiliar numbers on the screen.
"It must be your boyfriend." At first, the old driver didn't pay attention to the car trailing behind him. It wasn't until Lin Lan told him that the driver realized that the Cadillac was following closely from the beginning to the end. Make this judgment lightly.
Lin Lan didn't say too much on the receiver, she just responded with "um, oh". After a few minutes, she hung up the phone and said, "Thank you, sir, pull over."
"Are you going to reconcile?" The driver shook his head, "Don't take the cheater."
Thaddeus Ross (Thaddeus Ross), the chief executive (Secretary of State) of the US State Department, is mainly responsible for foreign affairs, but he is not a puppet or a pawn, he has his own authority.People used to call him General Ross, he used to be all-powerful, and even dared to fight against the Hulk.
The reason why Lin Lan was willing to sit in this Cadillac and didn't continue to go around in circles was because of him. General Ross personally called to "invite" Lin Lan to the Pentagon as a "guest".If you don't even give this face, I'm afraid there will be more bad things to follow in the future. After all, it is always a disadvantage to fight against the government, not to mention that the opponent is General Ross who has the title of Iron-Blooded Thunderbolt.
The general's attitude on the phone was extremely polite, but his tone was hard to refuse, especially because he hoped that Lin Lan could meet him on the grounds that he was ill.Knowing it was an excuse, Lin Lan still had to give in.
Before this, Lin Lan met him twice, one was at the ceremony where the president awarded her a medal after the "virus bomb" incident; the other was at the Avengers base, where General Ross came to Visited, as Secretary of State, it was necessary for him to personally investigate dangerous military establishments.
Even with such a long time difference, General Ross still left a deep impression on Lin Lan, otherwise, she wouldn't be sure that it was him just by hearing the other party's voice.
From New York to Washington DC, Lin Lan finally arrived at the most mysterious place in the United States, the Department of Defense, which is the Pentagon, a few hours later.She had been here before, and it was purely for curiosity, only in the outer circle, and there was a tour guide introducing the history of the establishment of the Pentagon.
But she didn't go deep inside.
"Please hand over the communication equipment and other metal objects." Lin Lan stood in front of the security inspection channel, and the security inspector's cold voice was emotionless.
There was no extra metal on her body, except for the mobile phone and the silver flute. When Lin Lan passed the detection device, everything was quiet.Seeing that the security inspector put the mobile phone and flute in a sealed bag and put them away, she asked, "Can't I bring these in?"
"No." The other party replied.
Lin Lan then asked, "What if I want to ask for help?"
The security inspector twitched the corner of his mouth, Lin Lan took that expression as a smile and sneered.The other party seemed to think that she asked an extremely stupid and ridiculous question, so he didn't answer immediately, but after whispering to his colleague sitting in front of the computer, he replied slowly: "Miss, this is the Ministry of National Defense."
Lin Lan suddenly said sharply: "Sir, just now you said to your colleague that I was an idiot, can I define this as insult and slander?"
Of course, the security inspector didn't read this word aloud, but Lin Lan could understand lip language, not to mention, she had already expected that the other party would definitely speak rudely, and not everyone who knew the "elf" would respect it.
The security inspector was obviously taken aback, and he turned his attention to the man in the suit who brought Lin Lan here.
"I want you to apologize." She also glanced at the man in the suit, and then said, "If I don't get his apology, I won't go there today, and I will take him to court immediately to protect my reputation. "
The man in the suit was probably already calling the security inspector an idiot in his heart: "Apologize quickly, General Ross has been waiting for a long time." He ordered the security inspector.
The reluctant apology was insincere. When the security inspector finished saying sorry, Lin Lan's face was not very good-looking: "Sir, I'm sorry, I don't accept your apology. If you don't accept it, there are people everywhere here. High-definition cameras, they can all testify for me that you insulted me." She turned to the man in the suit and said, "Please tell the general, I have a lawsuit coming soon, and I'm afraid I won't be able to keep the appointment."
The reason why Lin Lan made a fuss was to buy herself enough time. She was manipulating the ants to send her a distress message in the confiscated mobile phone.It would be an exaggeration to say that she is asking for help, but Lin Lan must let someone she trusts know where she is now, who she is going to see, and whether there is a way out.
The security inspector was so frightened that his legs were weak, he didn't expect that his inadvertent action would bring about a huge disaster, he had every reason to believe that the girl in front of him would make him lose his job: "I, I'm sorry, Miss Stark, Please forgive me, I was just, just joking, I wasn't targeting you."
Lin Lan replied in Chinese: "I knew this before, so why bother." Then, she gestured to the man in the suit, then turned and left.
The security inspector asked the colleague anxiously: "What did she say just now, will she sue me?"
But no one answered.
General Ross was about fifty to sixty years old. There were not many wrinkles on his face, but his skin was very rough. His gray hair and beard did not make him look old, but he was a bit more sophisticated.He is kind on the surface, heroic and upright, extremely majestic, and speaks well, and all kinds of official accents make it difficult for you to connect with him.
As soon as Lin Lan entered the room, the general smiled and got up from the leather sofa to welcome her. He was as enthusiastic as if he was about to receive his old friend. The dining table in the center of the room had already been set up.
"General Ross." Lin Lan nodded slightly, and scanned the entire room in the greeting room, "I see that you are very energetic, and you don't look sick." The layout here is a little more complicated than ordinary offices, a bit like a certain office. The living room of a mansion.
"Miss Stark, don't you eat with your friends to see a doctor for them?" General Ross pulled the chair from the dining table gentlemanly, "I know you just came back from Romania to attend a medical seminar, and you must have not For dinner, I have prepared a top steak for you, I hope you can try it."
Going to this "Hongmen Banquet" alone, Lin Lan felt quite exciting. Since the other party greeted people with a smile, it was not the first time she had dealt with the old fox.Simply see what the other party wants to do, so that you can report the military situation to Steve. Besides, the dignified Secretary of State will not kill her for no reason, right?
Lin Lan forced herself to get into the mood quickly. She took a sip of the vegetable soup first. To be honest, she didn't taste much at all.
I'm afraid the other party really doesn't know that she has a keen sense, and has arranged so many people to stare at it, and they can plot something wrong at a glance. How can she eat it? She began to wonder if there was poison in the steak.
Fifteen bodyguards in the house were scattered around the wall and stood upright. The eight military personnel at the door were even more well-trained. In the office building opposite, there were six snipers on standby.
God, wouldn't this old thing really want to execute her in secret, would he?
What should I do? How many years will it take to punish the Secretary of State of the United States as a second-degree disabled?
At that time, can it be regarded as self-defense or over-defense?
Or it's better to cast a Gu, so that no one will notice it without anyone noticing.
What kind of Gu should I do?
"Miss Stark." General Ross cut off a piece of medium-rare beef, looked at it on the fork for a while, and said, "Do you know that Brock Rumlow was robbed?"
Lin Lan was stunned: "Crossbones?"
"Yes, that Hydra mercenary, he was snatched from prison by his accomplices three months ago, and killed many guards." General Ross paused, "If you want me to say, he was not He should be kept alive, right? After he has done so many detrimental things to the country, the prison still has to support him with taxpayer money."
Lin Lan suddenly slammed the dining table: "How could he be robbed of the prison? It took me a lot of effort to subdue him. How do prisons work!"
She knew that General Ross wanted to blame herself. Although he didn't say it clearly, the meaning was obvious.At that time, Lin Lan didn't kill Crossbones, and he didn't let Falcon do it, just hoping that he could accept a fair sentence. In order to prevent Rumlow from doing more evil, Lin Lan smashed the bone marrow of his entire lower body.
Unexpectedly, someone actually robbed the prison. He is a felony prisoner, and it is impossible for him to successfully rob the prison without an insider!
However, when Lin Lan slapped the table, not only the bodyguards in the room drew their guns to take aim, but even the people at the door rushed in, thinking that something terrible had happened.
Lin Lan screamed in shock, with an unbelievable look: "You guys, what are you doing!"
"Put down the gun!" General Ross didn't expect Lin Lan to slap the dining table like this. The bodyguards were as frightened as they subconsciously made reflexes that revealed their purpose, "Get out, everyone out!"
The bodyguards hesitated for a while, and had to accept the order to leave the room.
General Ross didn't know whether Lin Lan did it on purpose or not, but no matter what, he couldn't let the bodyguard stay in the room anymore.Who knows what kind of movement she will make to stimulate the tense nerves of the men. If the gun goes off, her plan will definitely be greatly compromised: "Sorry, they are so easy to overreact. Just said that, yes, cross Bone, it's true that the people in the prison are not doing their job well."
"If you can catch him once, you can catch him a second time. Don't worry, General, the Avengers will stop him from harming people." Lin Lan felt that General Ross's meal today was not just to shirk the responsibility of Crossbones being jailed, Although the news did surprise her.It was three months ago that Rumlow was robbed, and the Avengers didn't know about it at all. The government actually suppressed this matter and then concealed it from them.
Why do you want to do this?
"Actually, many people think that the really scary ones are those who have super powers but can't be controlled." General Ross pretended to inadvertently said this sentence, "Of course, I don't mean the Avengers."
After Lin Lan cut the beef piece by piece, she replied with a short "Oh" and stopped.
"What do you think, Lorraine?" asked the general.
"What are you looking at?" Lin Lan asked back.
"You should also be a superpower, as I just said, some people think..."
"Oh!" Lin Lan "accidentally" moved a piece of cut beef to the table, "Sorry, you continue."
"Some people think……"
"Wait!" Lin Lan interrupted, "I'm not a person with superpowers, that's called Chinese Kung Fu. Do you need me to introduce to you, General, what Chinese Kung Fu includes?"
She didn't intend to take the other party's faults, but kept finding faults, since General Ross likes to try every step of the way, and Lin Lan happens to be very good at putting on airs.
"No need." He said, "Then what do you think of superhumans?"
The atmosphere around General Ross became unharmonious, and Lin Lan could feel that the other party was trying his best to suppress his anger. If the anger in his eyes could materialize, she might have been ignited long ago.This was Lin Lan's intention, an angry enemy was far easier to deal with than a gentle one.
At least he'll let you know if he really wants to kill you.
"I don't have any opinion." Lin Lan took a bite of the beef and said, "The meat is good."
"You are surrounded by superpowers, but you have no opinion?"
"Not quite, is it?"
Faced with Lin Lan's rhetorical questions and interruptions again and again, General Ross tried his best to maintain a calm judgment. When he found that the girl opposite was not an ignorant girl, he said straight to the point, "In Romania, you saw the Winter Soldier. Is it right."
Fortunately, the other party couldn't take Lin Lan away forcibly because there was no reasonable reason, although he definitely wanted to do so very much.And Lin Lan didn't want to listen to the other party's talk at all, so he had no choice but to follow silently.
Thinking of the scene at the airport gate just now, it was indeed funny. The man in the suit was almost sent to the police station.

The security inspector twitched the corner of his mouth, Lin Lan took that expression as a smile and sneered.The other party seemed to think that she asked an extremely stupid and ridiculous question, so he didn't answer immediately, but after whispering to his colleague sitting in front of the computer, he replied slowly: "Miss, this is the Ministry of National Defense."
Lin Lan suddenly said sharply: "Sir, just now you said to your colleague that I was an idiot, can I define this as insult and slander?"
Of course, the security inspector didn't read this word aloud, but Lin Lan could understand lip language, not to mention, she had already expected that the other party would definitely speak rudely, and not everyone who knew the "elf" would respect it.
The security inspector was obviously taken aback, and he turned his attention to the man in the suit who brought Lin Lan here.
"I want you to apologize." She also glanced at the man in the suit, and then said, "If I don't get his apology, I won't go there today, and I will take him to court immediately to protect my reputation. "
The man in the suit was probably already calling the security inspector an idiot in his heart: "Apologize quickly, General Ross has been waiting for a long time." He ordered the security inspector.
The reluctant apology was insincere. When the security inspector finished saying sorry, Lin Lan's face was not very good-looking: "Sir, I'm sorry, I don't accept your apology. If you don't accept it, there are people everywhere here. High-definition cameras, they can all testify for me that you insulted me." She turned to the man in the suit and said, "Please tell the general, I have a lawsuit coming soon, and I'm afraid I won't be able to keep the appointment."
The reason why Lin Lan made a fuss was to buy herself enough time. She was manipulating the ants to send her a distress message in the confiscated mobile phone.It would be an exaggeration to say that she is asking for help, but Lin Lan must let someone she trusts know where she is now, who she is going to see, and whether there is a way out.
The security inspector was so frightened that his legs were weak, he didn't expect that his inadvertent action would bring about a huge disaster, he had every reason to believe that the girl in front of him would make him lose his job: "I, I'm sorry, Miss Stark, Please forgive me, I was just, just joking, I wasn't targeting you."
Lin Lan replied in Chinese: "I knew this before, so why bother." Then, she gestured to the man in the suit, then turned and left.
The security inspector asked the colleague anxiously: "What did she say just now, will she sue me?"
But no one answered.
General Ross was about fifty to sixty years old. There were not many wrinkles on his face, but his skin was very rough. His gray hair and beard did not make him look old, but he was a bit more sophisticated.He is kind on the surface, heroic and upright, extremely majestic, and speaks well, and all kinds of official accents make it difficult for you to connect with him.
As soon as Lin Lan entered the room, the general smiled and got up from the leather sofa to welcome her. He was as enthusiastic as if he was about to receive his old friend. The dining table in the center of the room had already been set up.
"General Ross." Lin Lan nodded slightly, and scanned the entire room in the greeting room, "I see that you are very energetic, and you don't look sick." The layout here is a little more complicated than ordinary offices, a bit like a certain office. The living room of a mansion.
"Miss Stark, don't you eat with your friends to see a doctor for them?" General Ross pulled the chair from the dining table gentlemanly, "I know you just came back from Romania to attend a medical seminar, and you must have not For dinner, I have prepared a top steak for you, I hope you can try it."
Going to this "Hongmen Banquet" alone, Lin Lan felt quite exciting. Since the other party greeted people with a smile, it was not the first time she had dealt with the old fox.Simply see what the other party wants to do, so that you can report the military situation to Steve. Besides, the dignified Secretary of State will not kill her for no reason, right?
Lin Lan forced herself to get into the mood quickly. She took a sip of the vegetable soup first. To be honest, she didn't taste much at all.
I'm afraid the other party really doesn't know that she has a keen sense, and has arranged so many people to stare at it, and they can plot something wrong at a glance. How can she eat it? She began to wonder if there was poison in the steak.
Fifteen bodyguards in the house were scattered around the wall and stood upright. The eight military personnel at the door were even more well-trained. In the office building opposite, there were six snipers on standby.
God, wouldn't this old thing really want to execute her in secret, would he?
What should I do? How many years will it take to punish the Secretary of State of the United States as a second-degree disabled?
At that time, can it be regarded as self-defense or over-defense?
Or it's better to cast a Gu, so that no one will notice it without anyone noticing.
What kind of Gu should I do?
"Miss Stark." General Ross cut off a piece of medium-rare beef, looked at it on the fork for a while, and said, "Do you know that Brock Rumlow was robbed?"
Lin Lan was stunned: "Crossbones?"
"Yes, that Hydra mercenary, he was snatched from prison by his accomplices three months ago, and killed many guards." General Ross paused, "If you want me to say, he was not He should be kept alive, right? After he has done so many detrimental things to the country, the prison still has to support him with taxpayer money."
Lin Lan suddenly slammed the dining table: "How could he be robbed of the prison? It took me a lot of effort to subdue him. How do prisons work!"
She knew that General Ross wanted to blame herself. Although he didn't say it clearly, the meaning was obvious.At that time, Lin Lan didn't kill Crossbones, and he didn't let Falcon do it, just hoping that he could accept a fair sentence. In order to prevent Rumlow from doing more evil, Lin Lan smashed the bone marrow of his entire lower body.
Unexpectedly, someone actually robbed the prison. He is a felony prisoner, and it is impossible for him to successfully rob the prison without an insider!
However, when Lin Lan slapped the table, not only the bodyguards in the room drew their guns to take aim, but even the people at the door rushed in, thinking that something terrible had happened.
Lin Lan screamed in shock, with an unbelievable look: "You guys, what are you doing!"
"Put down the gun!" General Ross didn't expect Lin Lan to slap the dining table like this. The bodyguards were as frightened as they subconsciously made reflexes that revealed their purpose, "Get out, everyone out!"
The bodyguards hesitated for a while, and had to accept the order to leave the room.
General Ross didn't know whether Lin Lan did it on purpose or not, but no matter what, he couldn't let the bodyguard stay in the room anymore.Who knows what kind of movement she will make to stimulate the tense nerves of the men. If the gun goes off, her plan will definitely be greatly compromised: "Sorry, they are so easy to overreact. Just said that, yes, cross Bone, it's true that the people in the prison are not doing their job well."
"If you can catch him once, you can catch him a second time. Don't worry, General, the Avengers will stop him from harming people." Lin Lan felt that General Ross's meal today was not just to shirk the responsibility of Crossbones being jailed, Although the news did surprise her.It was three months ago that Rumlow was robbed, and the Avengers didn't know about it at all. The government actually suppressed this matter and then concealed it from them.
Why do you want to do this?
"Actually, many people think that the really scary ones are those who have super powers but can't be controlled." General Ross pretended to inadvertently said this sentence, "Of course, I don't mean the Avengers."
After Lin Lan cut the beef piece by piece, she replied with a short "Oh" and stopped.
"What do you think, Lorraine?" asked the general.
"What are you looking at?" Lin Lan asked back.
"You should also be a superpower, as I just said, some people think..."
"Oh!" Lin Lan "accidentally" moved a piece of cut beef to the table, "Sorry, you continue."
"Some people think……"
"Wait!" Lin Lan interrupted, "I'm not a person with superpowers, that's called Chinese Kung Fu. Do you need me to introduce to you, General, what Chinese Kung Fu includes?"
She didn't intend to take the other party's faults, but kept finding faults, since General Ross likes to try every step of the way, and Lin Lan happens to be very good at putting on airs.
"No need." He said, "Then what do you think of superhumans?"
The atmosphere around General Ross became unharmonious, and Lin Lan could feel that the other party was trying his best to suppress his anger. If the anger in his eyes could materialize, she might have been ignited long ago.This was Lin Lan's intention, an angry enemy was far easier to deal with than a gentle one.
At least he'll let you know if he really wants to kill you.
"I don't have any opinion." Lin Lan took a bite of the beef and said, "The meat is good."
"You are surrounded by superpowers, but you have no opinion?"
"Not quite, is it?"
Faced with Lin Lan's rhetorical questions and interruptions again and again, General Ross tried his best to maintain a calm judgment. When he found that the girl opposite was not an ignorant girl, he said straight to the point, "In Romania, you saw the Winter Soldier. Is it right."
