"Tell me, which gang did you fight with? Huh? "Lin Ching-wan looked up at Tony. He was the one looking down on her, but for some reason, he felt that he wasn't confident enough in front of her.
"Uh … It's just a small revenge operation. Of course, I'm on the side of justice." He was still struggling with the mechanical arms. "Hey, be gentle, I'm stuck … Right, what did you ask me to do for you?"
"An unlock chip to hack into the company's mainframe." Seeing Tony's surprised expression, she immediately clarified. "Don't worry, although I've wanted to throw you out on the street many times, I never thought of doing it this way."
"No, no, no. I'm just surprised at how well we work together. Because that's exactly what I wanted to do. "Tony finally freed himself from the steel prison and couldn't help but let out a huge sigh of relief.
He walked to the computer on the workbench and took out something that looked like a USB flash drive from the drawer below and handed it to her. "Since you're going, help me get some materials while you're at it. I want a list of all the company's recent shipments. "
"What do you want this for?" Lin Ching-wan asked.
"There's a shady deal going on in the company. I want to stop them."
"Hmm … From the looks of it, we're probably going to the same goal through different means. Then, happy working with you. "She took the chip. "But if you still want to use today's method … I advise you to think carefully about the consequences." With that, she turned and left decisively.
Only Tony was left in the same place. Looking at the deep fingerprint on the metal table, he fell into silence.
I feel like I'm on the verge of breaking my leg.
The process of getting the materials went smoothly without any hiccups. However, what she found in the mainframe shocked Lin Ching-wan.
Obadiah Stane, who Tony almost treated as a father, was actually the culprit who almost killed him in Afghanistan!
She always knew that Obadiah wasn't as kind as he looked. He could steal the company's assets behind Tony's back, but she didn't expect him to be crazy enough to make a deal with terrorists to get rid of Tony!
Moreover, his ambition was far more than that.

"I got the list for you, but I found something else." She handed the chip to Tony. "Take a look for yourself."
Tony was puzzled at first. He didn't understand why Lin Ching-wan's expression was so ugly. When he finished reading the contents, his expression became the same as hers.
"What do you plan to do?" She broke the silence first.
"What can we do?" Tony forced an ugly and mocking smile. "Send him to prison."
I think it's better to cut the weeds and eliminate the roots. Lin Ching-wan opened her mouth for a while and then closed it again. In the end, she didn't say those words. She just walked over, got close to him, and gently pulled him into her arms.
There were a lot of things in the chip — the video of the terrorist asking Obadiah to increase the price, the list of goods secretly traded with the terrorist organization "Ten Rings", the accounts of the production company's prohibited products for profit … These were all evidence. Coupled with the name Stark, it was enough to put him in prison for the rest of his life.
Looking at the person who almost killed him being sent to prison, Tony's face did not show any expression of relief. Lin Ching-wan knew that no matter how frivolous and frivolous he usually acted, he was still a pure boy inside. He was mischievous, heartless, and would cherish every sincerity.
He had a pure and innocent heart. However, there were very few people who deserved it.
"I can already imagine the headlines of tomorrow's newspapers," Lin Ching-wan sighed. "The chairman destroyed his cash cow, and the major shareholder assassinated to seize power. Where will Stark Industries go tomorrow?" Think of the reporters … Pepper must be going crazy again. "
"Well … Strictly speaking, you also have to be responsible for my personal affairs. Pepper is not fighting alone." Tony was still talking.
"Really?" She showed him a malicious smile, and there was slyness in her eyes. "If I resign today, there won't be these endless troubles in the future."
"I know you won't." Tony suddenly turned his head and looked at her dark gray eyes with his big honey-colored eyes. "Time is enough to prove this."
It was really stressful to look at such a pair of eyes. Lin Ching-wan felt that even if she could lift a tripod, she couldn't hold it. So … she chose to turn around and leave, or rather, run away.
Tony stood in the same place, with his usual cynical smile on his face. As the beautiful figure gradually went away, his curled lips slowly flattened.
He clenched his fist and then released it. In the end, he compromised and took out a two-finger-sized device from his pocket. He pressed his thumb on the circular area next to it. Two seconds later, the green screen in the middle of the device showed the result: "Blood toxin content 17%."
"Tsk, that's fast … It was only 14% the day before yesterday."
Tony sucked the blood off his finger and then put it back into his pocket expressionlessly.

After solving the public relations crisis of Obadiah and the company, Lin Ching-wan remembered the agreement with Agent Colsen. Seeing that it was still early, she drove to S.H.E.L.D..
"Lin, you're finally willing to come out from Stark's seaside villa?" As soon as they met, Frey teased her with a face so dark that it could stop a baby from crying at night. If she hadn't known him for more than ten years, she would definitely be trembling like the other agents in S.H.E.L.D..
"Don't tell me you don't know about the explosive headlines that Stark Corporation provided to all the major newspapers for free a few days ago." Lin Ching-wan looked like she was having a headache. "Please say it quickly. Recently, my brain can't handle the technical work of 'Tai Chi'."
"Okay, okay." Frey raised his eyebrows and led her to the interior of S.H.E.L.D.. "We've made new progress in Barnes's treatment. He remembered some things, including the fragment."
"Five years ago, he received an order from the top to go to Oregon to escort something to one of their bases. During the delivery process, he opened it and took a look. It was made of the same material and texture as the dragon-shaped statue. It's very likely what you're looking for. "
The "dragon-shaped statue" was the heart of the Realm-Breaching Plate.
"If that's the case, then it couldn't be better." She looked straight ahead and didn't stop walking.
Neither of them walked slowly, but even so, they still walked for more than ten minutes before they stopped. Nick Fury lowered his body and aimed his eyes at the electronic scanning hole on the door. Two or three seconds later, with a soft "beep" sound, the heavy metal door slowly moved to the left.
James Buchanan Barnes, the former secret humanoid weapon of Hydra – Winter Soldier, was sitting quietly on the only bed in the room. His expression was cold and his eyes were empty.
Now, he no longer had the murderous aura that seemed to soar into the sky. What lingered around him was only a trace of coldness and a touch of calmness after being isolated from the world for too long.
When he was first brought back, he hadn't regained his consciousness. When he saw non-mission targets and ordinary people who gave him post-hypnosis instructions, he didn't react. When he felt threatened or irritated, he would even attack with all his strength. There was no other way. In order to treat him and to ensure the safety of the staff of S.H.E.L.D., Frey had him knocked out and removed his iron arm.
Long hair hanging by the side of his ear, only one arm left, and loneliness that was incompatible with society … All these appearances made him look like a wounded veteran after a war, rather than a killing machine that had harvested countless lives. Coupled with his natural bun face, when he was expressionless, it actually made Lin Ching-wan see a pitiful feeling in this 1.8-meter-tall brawny man.
"Barnes, how are you feeling today?" Lin Ching-wan walked in and asked with a smile.
"Lin, Director Frey." He nodded to the two and pulled out an unpracticed smile on his face. "Not bad, at least I don't have a splitting headache like before when there are signs of memory recovery."
"This proves that you are getting better." Frey also relaxed his expression, and he said in a gentle voice, "The fragment you mentioned should be Lin's lost item, which is very important to her. That's why I called her over. You can talk to her face to face to get a better understanding. "
Barnes nodded. "I understand."
Although he had recovered some of his memory, he still couldn't remember much. He could only remember the name of the base, but he couldn't remember more, such as who kept the fragment and whether it had been moved.
Seeing that he was trying hard to remember but still couldn't find anything, Lin Ching-wan didn't want to force him, so she could only tell him to relax and rest well.
After she and Frey walked out, the metal door slowly closed, isolating Barnes from the people outside. From the window on the door, she could see that after he stopped communicating with the people outside, he had returned to his isolated appearance.
Decades of hypnosis and a life where he was used as a weapon to kill people eventually alienated him from society. He couldn't cross the gap of more than 50 years to integrate into society, and society wouldn't accept such a killer who had committed so many crimes.
Looking at his lonely back, Lin Ching-wan couldn't bear it. She tilted her head to look at Frey. "Do you have the latest report on Barnes's body index?"
"What do you want this for?" Frey didn't understand.
"I want to help him."
Because Barnes had been brainwashed and hypnotized all year round, his brain was already very fragile, but because of the strong body after the human body modification, he was able to support it. Under such circumstances, if she rashly helped him repair his brain, the result might not be that he would recover his consciousness, but that he would suffer a second injury because of the forced repair.
Fortunately, under the treatment of the experts in S.H.E.L.D. and the self-healing ability of his body, his brain had slowly begun to recover. If his recovery rate could exceed 50%, then Lin Ching-wan was confident that she could use her ability to cure him.
"At present, 45% of his brain has completely recovered to a healthy state. Maybe it will be fully recovered after a while." Frey handed her the report on Barnes's body index and estimated optimistically.
"Maybe it won't take that long." She quickly read the report and closed it. "Try to speed up the progress, Frey. When the recovery index reaches 60%, I will have a way to cure him. "
Frey took the report and put it down. He looked at Lin Ching-wan meaningfully. "Lin, sometimes I really want to know what kind of place can cultivate a talent like you. Your ability seems to have no end, and you always give me new surprises. "
"Frey, I thought you knew my determination not to join any organization." She looked straight into his remaining eye. "There are only two reasons why I'm staying here, Tony and the fragment. I won't be an enemy of S.H.E.L.D., and I won't join you. "
Frey stared at her with his remaining eye.
Lin Ching-wan didn't show any weakness.
"Okay." The director was the first to compromise. "I won't force you to join. Then can you promise me that if the United States or even the Earth is in danger one day, you will come and help us? "
She didn't agree immediately, but gave a vague answer. "It depends."
Fury blinked his eyelids, tacitly agreeing with her.
