Both the host and the guests enjoyed the luncheon. Humans are very strange creatures. The food that humans like to eat is the food that can bring happiness and pleasure. In most cases, it is defined as unhealthy food.
For example, people were crazy about all kinds of fried food, such as fried chicken and French fries. Those cheap and simple fast food could directly touch people's hearts, and most people thought it was delicious. Moreover, eating it would bring a double sense of satisfaction, both mentally and physically.
Similarly, there were also chocolate and cream cakes. Once people started eating, they wouldn't be able to stop until all the food in front of them was finished.
There were also seasonal delicacies such as crab roe and crab paste. It could even be said that when eating the same bowl of Yangchun noodles, the lard Yangchun noodles would taste ten times better than the blended Yangchun noodles.
Those satisfying foods all had one characteristic, which was that they were explosive in heat. Also, many of them weren't easy to digest, which would increase the burden on the body.
But people's taste buds and brains couldn't resist them. They were like drugs that pleased the brain and the body, making people like them from their mouths and tongues. They felt that everything in life came from being able to enjoy them.
How explosive was one's mood? Most of the time, it depended on how explosive the food was!
People who ate low-calorie food for a long time would have a terrible temper, but the other way around was much better. Perhaps that explained why fat people had better tempers than thin people?
Just like now, Betty had an explosive lunch of calories. As a matter of fact, ever since Banner's accident, Betty rarely had the chance to eat decent food.
Of course, it didn't mean that she didn't eat, but that she ate simply. Most of the time, it was simple enough to ensure her daily nutritional needs, but that was all.
It had been a long time since she felt happy and satisfied from food, and it was human nature to be satisfied from food. It was an instinct that had evolved over millions of years. It was rooted in her blood and DNA.
The sumptuous lunch made Betty feel much better. At least she had a smile on her face again, which was much better than when she had broken down earlier.
Betty looked at Li Jie. "Thank you, Jason. Bruce invited you here and asked you to prepare the lunch. "
Li Jie smiled casually. "Betty, you're welcome. To be honest, this is also for myself. When I saw that Dr. Banner was preparing toast and cold arugula to keep us busy, I felt I could not allow him to continue. I'm going to be angry if you eat this for lunch. "
Lan, Banner, and Betty burst into laughter as Li Jie said this in a serious manner.
With delicious food on the table, coupled with the deliberate lightening of the topic, the atmosphere of the entire table seemed to be very good. Betty cut herself a small piece of chocolate mousse with a fork and put it in her mouth, waiting for the chocolate mousse to slowly melt in her mouth.
Exquisite and silky, it felt as if a slender finger was gliding over fine silk. The aroma of chocolate filled his mouth and nose. While enjoying the wonderful texture and taste of the chocolate mousse, Betty was also hesitating.
She didn't know how to start the conversation. She looked at Li Jie and then at Banner, wanting to say something but hesitating.
But she didn't hide her expression, and Dr. Banner had already seen that Betty had something to say. The current atmosphere was just right for Betty to say what she wanted to say. So Dr. Banner said, "Betty, what's wrong?"
Betty's expression struggled for a moment, but she finally said, "Bruce, I didn't mean to eavesdrop on your conversation just now, but you said something about Hydra before, what the hell is going on? Why did they kidnap me and frame me? What is going on? "
Betty asked apologetically. She showed that she didn't mean to eavesdrop on the conversation between the two because she knew that Banner definitely didn't want her to know these things. Because it would only make her more worried. Betty had known that Bruce Banner was a gentle man more than a decade ago. She knows Dr. Banner very well.
However, Betty didn't understand Li Jie at all. Although Li Jie looked very approachable, and there was a saying that "a man who can cook well is generally not a bad guy", Betty didn't understand Li Jie at all.
Of course, these words might not be particularly appropriate for Li Jie. Well, at least in some aspects, it was inappropriate.
There was no point in trying to reason with Betty. A woman like her is very clear about what should be done and what shouldn't be done. That's why she's so tired. She's suppressing herself.
Instead of talking to her, it will make her feel more stressed. In fact, the best way is to let her find some problems and then vent her anger. Well, find a suitable target to vent.
So the conversation between Li Jie and Banner in the restaurant just seemed to be a very normal private conversation between two people. But in fact, Li Jie didn't say it to Dr. Banner at all. Instead, it was for Betty, who happened to be standing in the stairwell at the time.
So Li Jie didn't lower his voice at the time. It was like a normal conversation, and Betty could hear it very clearly in the direction of the stairwell.
She could hear everything Li Jie and Banner said. At that time, Banner didn't realize that Li Jie did it on purpose until Li Jie nodded to Banner with an extremely exaggerated expression. The honest Dr. Banner realized that Li Jie was acting.
Banner couldn't find any flaws in this kind of natural acting skills. Banner didn't find any flaws in it, so Betty, who just heard the sound, didn't find anything wrong.
So she asked Li Jie with some concern about Hydra and their plan to frame Banner.
About whether Hydra has a plan to capture Betty and frame others to cause conflict between Banner and others? I don't know if Li Jie has it. But now that it's said, it's okay. Anyway, it doesn't matter to Li Jie.
Lan rested her chin on her hand and nibbled on the passionfruit pudding while watching Li Jie's performance. Although they have lived together for so long, she felt that this man was so shameless for the first time today.
Li Jie looked at Banner and finally shook his head a little helplessly, and then said solemnly, "Well, I actually told Dr. Banner about this before. It's best not to hide it from you. Because some things can't be hidden. "
Betty nodded to Li Jie's words.
Li Jie continued, "Actually, Dr. Banner has explained the conflict between Dr. Banner and Tony Stark at Tony's wedding banquet. In fact, I think Dr. Banner also told you that there was a little problem with his original design. "
"Although Tony changed the settings of the bomb without Dr. Banner's consent, it eventually led to a tragedy. But Dr. Banner also has a little responsibility in this, for example, if he had read the message sent by Tony at the time. "
Dr. Banner nodded to Li Jie's words in a timely manner, "I was a little arrogant, and I didn't think too highly of Tony at the time, this is my responsibility."
Li Jie continued to say to Betty, "In fact, although Dr. Banner had an accident and became Hulk, he was still controlled in the end. This at least proves that there is still a chance for things to turn around. You don't have to worry too much about General Ross, Betty. Dr. Richards will return to Earth next April, and I believe that he and Dr. Banner can work together to help General Ross. "
Betty forced a smile and nodded.
"Actually, we are just curious about who told you about Dr. Banner's accident. Seriously, just Rick Jones's investigation alone? Why didn't he find it for so many years, but found it at such a coincidental time? "Li Jie raised a question.
"It just happened to be the eve of Tony Stark's wedding. He found out the truth and told you. And then you passed it on to Banner? If Dr. Banner didn't control Hulk's power, he would have been furious after hearing this. If he even started a massacre at Tony's wedding, then the consequences … "Li Jie paused in time.
Betty was not a stupid woman, but sometimes she didn't think deeply about the possibilities behind a matter. She suddenly felt a chill in her hands and feet. "Then maybe the whole world will be in turmoil! Yes, yes! The person who passed the message didn't know that Banner had Hulk under control, they didn't know this news. If someone really did this, then they are using me and Rick Jones! "
Li Jie nodded. "So we are sending people to investigate the person behind the information to Rick Jones. If we find this breakthrough point, then we can basically determine who did it. "
"What about Hydra?" Betty suddenly thought of this organization. This is an organization that has been globally wanted.
Li Jie spread his hands. "They are the most likely. I can reveal one thing to you, as long as Miss Betty, you promise not to tell anyone. "
Betty raised her hand. "I swear!"
"Well, in fact, some people, including Tony Stark, are carrying out a commercial encirclement against Hydra. Captain Rogers is also inciting the rich businessmen he can. He intends to completely kill Hydra from its economic roots. In the end, the snake will lose all its nutrients and wither and die. And this matter has forced Hydra into a corner. "
"Tony Stark is at the forefront of this operation in terms of business, and Dr. Bruce Banner's Super High Speed Rail program is essentially a complete cut off of Hydra's traditional industries. The two of them are thorns in Schmidt's eyes, thorns in the flesh. If they are not removed, there will be no peace. So we are basically targeting Hydra, the most likely target. "
Li Jie said solemnly, "They want Dr. Banner and Tony Stark to fight each other. The fiercer the fight, the better, preferably with both sides injured. This way, they can easily come out and clean up the mess, and then get rid of Tony and Banner. I think this is their plan! "
Betty's fists were already clenched. The two most cherished men in her life. One is her father, and the other is Bruce Banner. She will not allow anyone to take away her love in such a despicable way, especially when they are using her to do it.
Compared to what Tony did back then, what Hydra is doing now makes her even angrier. She can't wait to peel off Schmidt's skin and bones. Betty's finger bones are starting to turn white from clenching her fists too tightly.
Dr. Banner quietly gave Li Jie a thumbs up under the table. Lan, who was eating passion fruit pudding, could only put the spoon in her mouth and hold her cheeks in her hands.
Hey, this man seems to be getting more and more shameless. Did I make the wrong choice? Lan suddenly felt a little messy and regretful.
… …
Bermuda.
Failed, failed again. Red Skull Schmidt felt that everything wasn't going well. If this continued, then he could only resign himself to his fate.
It seems that there is always someone secretly against him. He has never seen this person, but Schmidt is sure that such a person exists. He needs to find a way to do something to fight back!
