Chapter 216: Who is behind the scenes?
This luncheon was enjoyed by both the guests and the hosts. Man is a very strange animal, and the food that he likes to eat that can bring happiness and pleasure is mostly defined as unhealthy food.
For example, everyone is crazy obsessed with all kinds of fried foods, fried chicken and fries, and so on. These cheap and simple fast foods are the most direct to people's hearts, and most people think they are delicious. And when you eat it, it brings a sense of both mental and physical satisfaction.
The same goes for chocolate and cream cakes, which can make you stop eating until you have eaten all the food in front of you.
Or there are dishes that are currently in season such as crab roe and crab paste. Even said that in the same bowl of Yangchun noodles, lard Yangchun noodles are ten times better than blended Yangchun noodles.
These satisfying foods have a characteristic, that is, they explode calories, and many of these foods are not easy to digest, which increases the burden on people's bodies.
But the human palate and brain are always irresistible to these things. They are like drugs that delight the brain and body, making people like them from the mouth and tongue, and feel that all the meaning of life in the world comes from being able to enjoy them.
How explosive is the mood? A lot of times depends on how explosive the calories of the food are!
If you eat low-calorie food for a long time, your temper will be very bad, but the reverse will be much better. Perhaps this explains why people who are fat have better tempers than people who are thin.
Just like now, Betty had a lunch with explosive calories. In fact, since Benner's accident, Betty has rarely eaten decent food.
Of course, it's not that she doesn't eat, it's just that she eats simply. In most cases, it's a simple deal to meet your daily nutritional needs, but that's about it.
It's been a long time since she's been able to get happiness and satisfaction from food intake, which is the oldest human nature. It's an instinct that has evolved over millions of years. Rooted in the DNA of the bloodline.
A hearty lunch made Betty's spirits much better. At least she had a smile on her face again, which was much better than the one she had collapsed before.
Betty looked at Lee, "Thank you, Jason. Bruce invites you to be a guest and takes the trouble of preparing a luncheon. ”
Li Jie smiled indifferently: "Betty, you're welcome." Honestly, it's for my own sake. When I saw Dr. Banner preparing croutons and coleslaw to pass us away, I felt like I couldn't let him go on. I'm going to be angry when I eat this at noon. ”
Li Jie said these words seriously, making Arashi, Banner and Betty laugh.
There is food, and the topic is deliberately relaxed, and the atmosphere of the whole table seems very good. Betty used a fork to cut herself a small piece of chocolate mousse and put it in her mouth while the chocolate mousse slowly melted in her mouth.
Delicate and silky, it feels like a slender finger gliding over a fine silk. The aroma of chocolate diffuses in the mouth and nose. While enjoying the wonderful texture and taste brought by the chocolate mousse, Betty was also hesitant.
She didn't know how to start the conversation, she looked at Li Jie, then at Banner, and stopped talking.
But her expression was not particularly disguised, and Dr. Banner could already see that Betty had something to say. The atmosphere was just right now 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 finally she spoke: "Bruce, I didn't mean to eavesdrop on your conversation just now, but what the hell is the Hydra you talked about earlier? What the hell is it that they kidnapped me and blame me or something?"
Betty asked apologetically, revealing that she didn't mean to eavesdrop on their conversation, as she knew that Bruce Banner would definitely not want her to know. Because it will make her worry even more. Bruce Banner is a gentle man, Betty knew it more than a decade ago. She knew Dr. Banner well.
But Betty doesn't know Li Jie, although Li Jie looks very friendly, and there is a saying that "a man who cooks a good dish is generally not bad".
Of course, these words may not be particularly appropriate for Li Jie, well, at least in some ways.
I was stunned and told Betty that it was useless to make a big sense. Women like her know very well what to do and what not to do. That's why she's so tired, she's suppressing herself.
Rather than reasoning with her, it made her feel more stressed. In fact, the best thing to do is to let her find some problems on her own and then vent her anger. Well, find a suitable object to vent.
So the conversation between Li Jie and Banner in the restaurant just now seemed to be a very normal conversation between the two of them. But in reality, Li Jie didn't mean it to Dr. Banner at all. Rather, it was for Betty, who happened to be standing in the stairwell.
So Li Jie didn't lower the volume at that time, it was like a normal conversation, and Betty could hear it clearly in the direction of the stairwell.
She could hear everything Lee Jay and Banner were talking about. At that time, Banner didn't realize that Li Jie did this on purpose, until Li Jie nodded at Banner with an extremely exaggerated expression. The honest Dr. Banner realized that Li Jie was acting.
This kind of natural acting skills, Banner didn't feel any flaws at all. Banner didn't find any flaws in the face-to-face face, and Betty, who just heard the voice, didn't find anything wrong.
So she looked a little worried and asked Li Jie about Hydra and their plan to blame Banner or something.
As for whether Hydra has a plan to catch Betty and blame others in the future, causing conflicts between Banner and others? Li Jie doesn't know if there is any. But now that it's all said, it's time to have it. Anyway, it's not bad for Li Jie.
Lan was holding her chin and eating passion fruit pudding in small bites while watching Li Jie's performance. Although they had lived together for so long, she felt for the first time today that this man was so shameless.
Li Jie looked at Banner, and finally shook his head a little helplessly, and then said seriously: "Okay, in fact, I actually told Dr. Banner about this before. It's better not to hide it from you. Because there are things that cannot be hidden. ”
Betty nodded at Li Jie's words.
Li Jie continued: "Actually, the conflict between Dr. Banner and Tony Stark was explained by Dr. Banner at Tony's wedding reception. Actually, I think Dr. Banner told you that there was something wrong with his design. ”
Tony changed the bomb's settings without Dr. Banner's permission, which led to tragedy. But Dr. Banner also had a little bit of responsibility in this, such as if he had read Tony's message at the time. ”
Dr. Banner nodded appropriately at Li Jie's words: "I was a little arrogant, and I didn't think much of Tony at the time, which was my responsibility." ”
Li Jie continued to say to Betty, "Actually, although Dr. Banner had an accident and became the Hulk, he was able to control it in the end. This at least proves that things are still turning around. You don't have to worry too much about General Ross either, Betty. Dr. Richards will be returning to Earth next April, and I'm sure he and Dr. Banner will be able to help General Ross. ”
Betty smiled reluctantly and nodded.
"Actually, we're just curious about who revealed Dr. Banner's accident to you. Seriously, just by Rick Jones's investigation, why didn't he find it for so many years, but found it at such a coincidental time?" asked Li Jie.
"It was the eve of Tony Stark's wedding, and he found out the truth and told you. And then you're going to relay it to Banner? If Dr. Banner doesn't control the Hulk's powers, he'll be furious when he hears about it. If you even kill at Tony's wedding, then the consequences ......" Li Jie paused at the right time.
Betty is not a stupid woman, but sometimes she doesn't think deeply about the possibilities behind something. She suddenly felt a chill in her hands and feet: "Then maybe the whole world will be in turmoil! Yes, yes! The people who delivered the news didn't know that Banner had taken control of the Hulk, they didn't know the news. If anyone does do that, then they're using me and Rick Jones!"
Li Jie nodded: "So we're sending someone to investigate who is behind this information about giving Rick Jones." If you find this breakthrough point, then you can basically determine who did it. ”
"And Hydra?" said Betty, suddenly remembering the organization. This organization is already wanted worldwide.
Li Jie spread his hands: "They are the most likely." I can tell you one thing, as long as Miss Betty promises not to say it. ”
Betty raised her hand, "I swear!"
"Well, in fact, some people, including Tony Stark, are engaged in a commercial encirclement of Hydra. Captain Rogers is also inciting the rich businessmen he can instigate, and he intends to kill Hydra once and for all from its economic roots. In the end, the snake lost all its nutrients and withered to death. And this incident has pushed Hydra into a hurry. ”
"Tony Stark is commercially at the vanguard of this operation, and the super-high-speed rail project led by Dr. Bruce Banner is essentially a radical severing of Hydra's traditional industry. The two of them are a thorn in Schmidt's side and a thorn in the flesh. If you don't get rid of it for a day, you won't be able to live in peace for a day. So we're basically targeting the most likely Hydra. ”
"They wish Dr. Banner and Tony Stark were fighting each other." The more bitter the fight, the better, and it's better to lose both. That way they can easily come out and clean up the mess and get rid of Tony and Banner. I guess that's their plan!"
Betty was already with her fists clenched, the two men she cherished the most in her life. One is her father and the other is Bruce Banner. She would not allow anyone to use such despicable means to take away her love, especially to use her to do it.
Compared to what Tony did back then, what Hydra is doing now makes her even angrier. She wanted to skin Schmidt and tear it apart. Betty's finger bones were all starting to turn white from the clenching of her fists.
Dr. Banner whispered a thumbs up to Lee Kit from under the table. Arashi, who was eating passion fruit pudding on the other hand, could only hold a spoon in her mouth and hold her cheeks with both hands.
Hey, this man seems to be getting more and more shameless, is his choice wrong? Lan suddenly felt a little messy and regretful.
…………………………
Bermuda.
Failed, failed again. Red Skull Schmidt senses that nothing is going well right now. If it goes on like this, then he really has to wait for his hands to die.
It's as if someone is secretly working against him. I hadn't seen this person, but Schmidt was pretty sure there was such a person. He needs to find a way to do something to fight back!
"Let Quicksilver and Crimson move. Do some sabotage and chaos, otherwise the world will be too quiet!" Schmidt had already made up his mind.
