Ye Zixun looked at Nick Fury with admiration. He was not convinced by anything else but his boss's words.

Being able to make the unruly Iron Man lose his mind requires a skill that not ordinary agents can achieve.

Nick Fury shook his head and said, "How should I know? It's not important. What's important is that the mysterious man who cured your palladium poisoning is very likely a more dangerous person than you."

“…”

Tony had come to his senses by now, his face looking uncertain.

"You have been monitoring me. Have you hacked into my security system through some means?"

"What do you think?"

Nick Fury had an ambiguous smile on his face.

There is no absolutely secure system in the world. Even someone as smart as Tony Stark cannot build an iron wall without loopholes.

In other words, it is because Tony Stark is too smart that he trusts his own technical level too much, so that he ignores a very important part of his own security system - that is, people.

Nick Fury doesn't intend to reveal Natasha's identity now.

Before he really finds the mysterious man, Natasha, who is undercover beside Tony, is a trump card in his hand.

Looking at the unfathomable expression on Nick Fury's face, Tony Stark was in a very bad mood.

In just three hours, he first met a Russian who had mastered the technology to manufacture the Ark reactor, and then learned the bad news from Bald Egg that his own security system was useless to S.H.I.E.L.D.

The successive blows made him begin to doubt his own technical level for the first time in his life.

After a long silence, Tony suddenly laughed at himself: "You don't think I can contact him?"

Nick Fury frowned slightly: "You mean, he was the one who contacted you all along?"

Tony nodded and said, "That's right."

Nick Fury immediately speculated: "Then he must want something from you. What does he want?"

Tony glanced at him. "Since you've been spying on me, don't you know what he wants?"

Nick Fury shook his head: "Don't think too highly of us. I only know that you gave him a supercomputer, but I think that is definitely not what he wants most."

I have to say, Nick Fury's sense of smell is indeed very keen.

Tony looked at him deeply, shook his head and said, "I'm sorry I can't tell you this. I can only say that if I have to choose between you and him, I will definitely choose him without hesitation!"

Nick Fury asked in surprise: "Is there anyone in this world that you dare not offend?"

Tony suddenly laughed, as if he had regained his confidence. "Nick Fury, I say the same thing to you. Don't think that just because you are the director of S.H.I.E.L.D., the world will revolve around you. You are just like me, you know nothing about the truth of this world."

After saying that, Tony chuckled, turned around and left the cell.

Ye Zixun finished watching the show and approached Nick Fury who looked thoughtful.

"Boss, what do you say?"

"..." Nick Fury came back to his senses and glanced at him. "Ivan Vanko has been arrested. I will extradite him to the United States as soon as possible. Your mission ends here. Next, you will be responsible for investigating this mysterious target named Lin. I will pass on all the intelligence that Agent Natasha has investigated to you. Investigate it carefully!"

Having said that, Nick Fury patted Ye Zixun on the shoulder, turned around and left.

Ye Zixun readily agreed, and then looked at Nick Fury's back thoughtfully.

The mysterious person who changed the plot...

Who could it be?

For some reason, Ye Zixun felt a sense of inexplicable anticipation in his heart.

On the other side, Tony Stark lost interest in interrogating Ivan Vanko. After leaving the cell, he immediately left Monaco on a private plane and flew towards California, USA.

On the plane, Tony looked absentmindedly at the clouds outside the window.

Pepper looked at the TV screen in front of her calmly.

On the screen, the senator who had been severely criticized by Tony at the hearing said sarcastically to the camera: "It turns out that the genie in the bottle has been released, but our Mr. Stark is still like a naive child, treating Iron Man as a toy. He firmly stated at the hearing that no one will be able to imitate the Iron Man armor in the next 20 years."

"But now, we have seen the same steel armor in Monaco - snap!"

Tony turned off the TV and shrugged, "I knew it a long time ago that this guy is blind. Anyone with eyes can't say such a thing about the same Iron Man armor. My Mark series armor is far superior to his!"

"Of course I know that..."

Pepper showed a helpless smile on her face: "But I am the CEO of Stark Industries, and you appointed me personally. Remember, I need to watch this news interview so that I can know how to talk to the media when I go back."

"……you're right."

Tony pursed his lips and turned the TV back on.

At this moment, golden sparks appeared out of nowhere in the cabin.

Tony was stunned for a moment, and then he saw Lin Zhongtian, wearing a pure white T-shirt, walking out.

"Why are you here?"

"What do you think?" Lin Zhongtian glanced at him, "The lucky coin I gave you has been broken into pieces, right?"

“…”

Tony subconsciously touched his chest pocket and sighed: "Yes, it saved my life."

Lin Zhongtian sat opposite the two of them. Without any hesitation, he picked up a piece of exquisite dessert from the table in front of him, put it into his mouth, and an expression of admiration appeared on his face.

“Sweet but not greasy, good stuff!”

"If you like it, I'll give it all to you."

Lin Zhongtian smiled when he heard this, looked into Tony's eyes and said softly: "The better the thing is, the more you should try it."

Tony twitched his lips and shook his head, "If it weren't for your overly young face, I would have thought that the person sitting in front of me was an old man with a gray beard. How did you develop such an old-age mentality at such a young age?"

Lin Zhongtian said calmly: "Who told you that I am young?"

Tony was stunned for a moment, then reacted and looked at his young face in disbelief.

Pepper couldn't help but widen her eyes and said after choosing her words: "How old are you?"

Lin Zhongtian smiled and said, "I don't know either, but it should be bigger than all of you combined!"

Tony and Pepper looked at each other and couldn't help but ask, "Excuse me, are you really from Earth?"

Lin Zhongtian chuckled and said, "Of course, it's genuine!"

Even after getting Lin Zhongtian's personal confirmation, Tony and Pepper still found it hard to believe.

Lin Zhongtian smiled and asked, "If I'm not mistaken, someone should have come to you to investigate my affairs today, right?"

Tony sighed and nodded. "Yes, they have been monitoring me and hacked into my security system. That's how they found out about you. But don't worry, I didn't tell them anything except for some things that could be found."

At this point, Tony paused and said awkwardly: "Maybe there is a surname..."

Lin Zhongtian smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. You don't know me anyway. Even if you tell them everything, what will happen? As for your security system, don't underestimate yourself. If you are not the smartest genius in the world, why would I want to trade with you?"

Tony was slightly startled, then his eyes lit up and he said, "You mean, there's no problem with my security system?"

Lin Zhongtian recalled the plot and nodded, "At least there should be no problem for now."

"Then how did they do it?" Tony fell into deep thought, and suddenly raised his eyebrows, thinking, "They have an undercover agent in the company - Pepper, are you an undercover agent?"

"What do you think?"

Pepper rolled her eyes at him.

Tony nodded. "Very good, you are not an undercover agent. Then help me check who has handled these holographic projection devices and the Foresight supercomputer in the past few days when you return."

Pepper nodded and agreed, and silently wrote this matter into her schedule after returning home.

Tony turned his head, looked at Lin Zhongtian and said seriously: "Can you give me another lucky coin? I feel that my luck has been bad recently, and I urgently need a treasure blessed by a master to improve my luck."

Hearing the two Chinese sentences of "consecration", Lin Zhongtian couldn't help but laugh.

“You really understand!”

"I understand a little bit, I understand a little bit."

Tony smiled and pushed the dessert tray away from the table, placing the red suitcase next to him on the table.

"How about I exchange this portable Mark V Iron Armor for it?"

"……Can."

Lin Zhongtian nodded with some surprise, as if he had not expected to have an unexpected gain.

But he also knew that this was Tony's subtle way of thanking him for his advice and life-saving grace.

Of course, it is also a very worthwhile thing for Tony to take this opportunity to get another life-saving lucky coin.

The deal was done, and Tony transferred the rights to this portable iron armor to Lin Zhongtian.

Afterwards, Lin Zhongtian revealed the real purpose of this trip, which was to ask Tony to help investigate the Chinese agent.

Tony readily agreed.

Soon, Jarvis investigated Ye Zixun's apparent life trajectory.

"In addition to being a SHIELD agent, Mr. Rivers has two other identities. He is an FBI agent and a partner at Skinner & Dane Law Firm."
