Chapter 22 Give him a price he can’t refuse

The next day, Leni, who had just flown back to California from New York, received a sudden message from Coulson of SHIELD as soon as she got off the plane, "Tony Stark has been found and is about to return to New York. The director ordered you to

To protect in secret."

This time, Leni didn't refuse, although she didn't like the way Braised Eggman had exhausted all his tricks, and she also hated that super playboy. After putting aside this layer of identity, his favorite superhero was still this guy.

These two feelings seem contradictory, but in fact they are not in conflict.

"How can Tony be so annoying..."

Finding the Porsche 911 she had parked here before from the airport parking lot, Leni immediately drove to the Stark Industries factory. Going there to find Tony Stark was far better than going to the military base.

On the way, Leni called her financial assistant again and informed her to pay close attention to the ups and downs of Stark Industries' stock market and immediately start selling as much as she could. Don't force it, because it will fall sharply later, and then buy with all her strength.

Come in and buy me as much as you want!

My aunt is not short of money!

Then when she was about to arrive at her destination, Coulson called her again and told her that Tony Stark was about to hold a press conference and asked her to visit the Stark Industries factory. Leni replied to him, "I'm almost there."

Downstairs at Tucker Industrial Factory, your call was late."

He parked the car in his usual parking space, took out his phone and took a look, "Sure enough, the news of Tony Stark's return has made Stark Industries' stock rise again."

I casually sent a message to my assistant, "Sell them all, as much as you can. My information is very accurate. We can make a lot of money!"

Then without looking at the reply, Leni confidently took out her Stark Industries work permit from the armrest box and strode into the company.

After a while, Leni received a call from Colson again, "I've arrived, where are you?"

"I'm in the company, you're busy with your business, don't worry about me." After saying that, he hung up the phone, leaving Coulson confused.

At this time, Leni was free to hold a piece of cheeseburger she bought on the way, sitting in the employee rest area, enjoying her lunch, and then watching the media coming and going at the door as if watching the excitement.

Not long after, a Rolls-Royce drove into the company, and a large group of military, political dignitaries, and media people came to greet them. They all responded as if they were welcoming the return of the company's big boss. The official leader was Obadiah Stane.

.

"We were planning to pick you up at the hospital."

"No need, I'm fine."

"You also bought a burger, did you bring it to me?"

"Ah, that's it. I still want to eat it."

"That's okay..."

A group of people entered the company's press room in a mighty manner. At this time, Leni was already standing in the corner, watching Tony who was surrounded by the crowd.

At the same time, out of the corner of his eye, he noticed a man with a dangerous hairline walking towards Pepper.

"I'm not a reporter. I'm Special Agent Phil Coulson, affiliated with the Strategic Homeland Defense Attack and Logistics Support Agency."

"What a convoluted name."

Just by looking at the shape of his mouth, Leni could guess that Coulson was pronouncing that smelly and long name again.

When this guy forced himself to write down this name, Leni told him that if he just called it by its abbreviation, wouldn't S.H.I.E.L.D. S.H.I.E.L.D. be finished?

But that guy didn't know why he was so old-fashioned. He had to wait for the bureau's official confirmation before making changes to the outside world. It was obviously not like this in normal times.

"Can everyone sit down?"

After hearing this, Leni put on her sunglasses and stood far away, planning to watch the show in a leisurely manner.

"Everyone, please sit down. This will make it less formal."

Colson on the other side, who also didn't sit down, gave Leni a look. Leni ignored her. Anyway, he was wearing sunglasses, so he couldn't see her winking at him, so he pretended not to notice.

"I didn't get to say goodbye to my father. I have a question to ask him. I want to ask him what he thinks of the company's actions and whether he has ever struggled or had any doubts.

Maybe he is exactly the man in the news documentary, where I saw young people being killed..."

At this time, Tony, who was scanning the whole place, noticed someone standing in the corner of the venue. He was wearing a decent and well-fitting women's suit, a smart and simple high ponytail, wearing sunglasses, and a playful smile at the corner of his mouth, which made him pause slightly.

Dayton.

Seeing that Tony noticed her, Leni suppressed the smile on her face, put on a straight face, and pretended to be serious, but in her heart she had already begun to laugh because she was about to make a fortune with the help of Stark Industries stock blood.

.

"But the weapons that killed them were the weapons I made to protect them..."

When Tony said this, Leni's eyes were fixed on Obadiah, that old man! That old man Obadiah's face changed! Hahahaha~ I was laughing so hard~

"Therefore, with immediate effect, I announce the closure of the Stark Industries weapons production department!"

Seeing that the play was over, Leni turned around and walked out of the press conference room and headed to the parking lot. She was in a good mood today and skipped work!

Tony, who was surrounded by the crowd and left, looked around for Leni's figure, but did not find it. Just like when he first saw her, he left without any courtesy.

Leni, on the other side, drove to a nearby burger restaurant, ordered a French fries and a Coke, and then got back in the car to wait for someone.

"Who taught you to connect like this?"

Coulson noticed this Porsche 911 from afar, walked around in a circle, opened the door and got into the passenger seat, and said something that made her die.

"..." Leni didn't even have to think about it. Natasha definitely told him, otherwise he wouldn't be able to ask the question again exactly like that. He must make her look good when he goes back!

"Just kidding, the car is nice."

Leni ignored him and signaled him to get down to business.

"Stark escaped from there with the help of some kind of tool, but a doctor named Ho. Ethan died there."

"I have met him before. He was a visiting professor in Massachusetts for a period of time. I once asked him in person for advice on a research project."

"Really? That's really a pity. Colleagues from the psychology department believe that it was precisely because of Ethan's death that Tony's temperament changed drastically."

"Well, it's really sad that your savior died in front of you."

Coulson paused and glanced at Leni, who was drinking Coke. "Then our people learned that Tony had something that looked like a small Ark reactor installed on his chest. The reason is currently unknown."

"Well, he would be dead without that thing." Leni stammered carelessly while eating French fries.

Coulson nodded, "So we need you to go and investigate Tony Stark's situation, and it's best to get in touch with him personally."

"It's impossible~ They have an artificial intelligence butler at home. I can't get in without permission. And in this situation, he can't get out at all."

"The director's original words were that it's your business."

"Tch, damn braised egg head!" Leni curled her lips and continued drinking Coke.

"Then we need to investigate the reason why Tony escaped. It would be best to have detailed information."

"Is this what Braised Eggman said?" Leni looked at Coulson in surprise, and saw the other person nodded, "Is there no one left in SHIELD?"

"You are the most suitable."

"That's what he said*2" they both said in unison.

"Dry!"

Marbury seaside villa——

"Jarvis, search for Leni Stark!"

"Sir, Miss Leni currently lives in Los Angeles. Miss Potts arranged for him to join Stark Industries three months ago."

"She works in the company now?"

"No sir, records show that Miss Leni was absent from work today."

"Absent from work?"

"In addition, records show that Miss Leni recently applied for a personal laboratory from the company, but the request was not approved. The test project is [Artificial Star]."

"Huh? Controlled thermonuclear fusion technology? Interesting..." Tony picked up the ballpoint pen on the table and played with it twice.

"Invite her and say I intend to talk to her about her proposal."

"Okay, sir."

Tony turned around and was about to start making a new small Ark reactor when he suddenly seemed to remember something and said to Jarvis: "Search for [Da Vinci Robot]"

“[Da Vinci Robot] was first proposed by MIT student ‘Leni Testarossa’... The patent is currently held by XX Pharmaceutical Company.”

Looking at the various papers, experimental data, and clinical data with the name "Leni Testarossa" specially written on them, Tony secretly thought that it was true.

Then he discovered the name Ethan Ho in the information, which made him feel sad, and then he once again became determined to close the Stark Industrial weapons production department.

"Contact me to this company and acquire this patent in my name and give him a price that you can't refuse."

"Okay sir, I'm informing Miss Potts."

Happy New Year!

Orange wishes everyone:

Big fortune, small fortune, unexpected fortune, endless wealth!

Official luck, good luck, peach blossom luck, good luck every day!
