"Are you still hiding something from me?"

Tony slowly put down the wine glass in his hand and stared at Leni sitting opposite him.

Rody on the side did not speak and also put down the brandy in his hand.

Leni glanced in the direction of the office, where Natasha should be busy dealing with the aftermath of the incident with Pepper.

Then he turned to look at Rody and spoke softly:

"I think that in this matter, someone took the initiative to leak the plan to Ivan Vanko."

Seeing that both people were looking at him, Rody hurriedly said:

"It's not me! I'm the one who got tricked the most!"

Leni shook her head, "I'm not talking about you."

“When Natasha infiltrated Hammer Industries, she found Ivan Vanko’s lair.

There, she discovered that Ivan Vanko had obtained the military's test data on war machines, including a series of secrets such as weapon performance, armor strength, and flight data.

This thing, with that guy Justin Hammer around, I don't think anyone in the military is going to keep it a secret for you. "

Leni looked at Tony, and then took out an Ark Reactor from the void.

"This is the Ark reactor on the Iron Soldier that I recovered. Take a look."

Tony's eyes flashed, and when he was about to speak, Leni interrupted him:

"Don't worry, this thing can't explode."

"Are you sure?"

Roddy was a little TPSD by this thing, and he was still a little uneasy.

Leni didn't answer and continued:

“I observed this thing, and it clearly references Tony’s design. Increasing the speed is only one aspect.

Ivan Vanko is a genius. To be able to upgrade to this level with just a few data points can be regarded as his last legacy. "

Tony played with it a few times, nodded in agreement with Leni's statement, and returned the reactor to Leni.

"We only discuss the effect of this guy's application on metal palladium. This guy's stuff does have merit."

Seeing that Tony didn't want it, Leni didn't say much and threw it into the warehouse again.

"Then what does this have to do with what you just said about someone leaking the secret?"

Rody didn't understand. He just said there was a mole, so why did he talk about Ivan Vanke?

Tony and Leni looked at each other, and both saw the look in the other's eyes.

"I told you, it can't be him."

"Actually, I think so too."

Seeing that Rody was getting angry from embarrassment, Leni slowly said her suspicions:

"Whether it is test data of war machines or confidential information on sonic weapons, these can all be found in the military's database.

Even if no one leaks the secret, it is not difficult at all to hack into the military database with the hacker level of Ivan Vanke. "

Leni raised the martini in her hand and took a sip, giving the two of them... giving Roddy time to digest the information.

Then he continued:

“But our plans for Hammer Industries and Ivan Vanko are not in the military’s database.

So how did Ivan Vanko know that we would set a trap for him and trap him in a trap? "

Roddy finally showed an expression of realization on his face.

In his field of vision, he did not feel that the plan was leaked from beginning to end.

I just hate the mole in the military who leaked his armor data, and why he was tricked so badly.

"So who knows about this?"

Leni looked at Roddy with satisfaction.

Not bad, after waiting for a long time, this admirer finally got it right.

"First of all, the people who made the plan are me, Tony and Pepper."

Leni stretched out her free hand and pointed at herself, Tony sitting opposite, and the wall of the lounge, which was Pepper in the office next door.

"The three of us are the least likely to be suspected of leaking secrets. This does us no good at all."

Tony picked up the wine glass again and continued Leni's words:

"Then the executors of the plan are you, Colson, Nata...Sha."

Roddy, who finally caught up with the two people's thoughts, realized it and quickly added:

"I am the unluckiest one in the whole plan. There is absolutely no need for me to do this. Besides...didn't I agree that Tony would be the bait to lure the snake out of its hole? Why do I feel that I became the bait in the end?"

Tony did not dare to look into his good brother's aggressive eyes, took a sip of the wine in the glass, and continued pretending to be calm:

"Colson's knowledge of the plan is only as good as yours, but he has no need to offend me, or to offend me and Leni, so he can rule it out."

Roddy didn't understand and couldn't help but turn to look at Leni, hoping she could give an explanation.

"It's complicated to say, but to put it simply, SHIELD wants me and Tony, and offending us is not worth the loss."

Leni did not tell Roddy about the Avengers plan, but just took out a crystal from the void, hinting to Roddy that S.H.I.E.L.D. had a need for this thing.

After all, Roddy is still affiliated with the United States Air Force. Although he is devoted to Tony, it is better not to tell him about the Avengers.

Looking at the alchemy crystal thoughtfully, Rody expressed his understanding.

Having personally experienced the magic of this thing, Roddy can understand SHIELD's desire for this alchemical item.

"Similarly, Natasha is also unnecessary. Although her behavior of lurking into Stark Industries was not good, the actual purpose was to investigate the reasons why Tony abandoned himself during this period.

If something happens to Tony, it will not only affect her mission, but also our trust in SHIELD. "

This made Roddy a little confused. He looked at Tony's expression and seemed to agree with him.

"What's the problem? There's nothing wrong with the three of us, and there's nothing wrong with the three of them. Who else..."

Roddy stopped talking halfway because he thought of someone.

Lennie and Tony stared at Roddy and motioned him to continue.

"That bald guy? What's his name... Sitwell? But isn't he also from SHIELD?"

The two of them didn't say anything, but just silently tasted the martinis prepared by Lainie.

...

Maria Hill stared at the director across the desk for a long time. She still hoped that he could think it over carefully.

This plan has already caused a lot of trouble. If there is another...

"That's not something you need to consider. Now... it's out of our hands. "

Nick Fury stared at his capable general with his only remaining eye, and the meaning of not accepting rejection was particularly obvious in his eyes.

"Since you insist, I have nothing to say. I will arrange it now."

Agent Hill finally picked up the folder on the desk and slowly left Director Fury's office.

Looking at the slowly closing office door, Nick Fury's eyes were deep.

"Laini... Stark... Now there is another hammer?

This damn earth is really..."
