Chapter 3: Tony Stark's Favor

Los Angeles, military base, tarmac, a military plane is landing steadily. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 The info hatch opened, and a black man in military uniform helped a bearded man with a bandage in his right hand to get down. A white woman was staring at the bearded man with concern.

"Watch out for Tony, go this way." The black man in military uniform reminded, pulling the cheeky man with an unnatural expression to open the gap in the hatch.

"You're kidding me, Rod?" The man known as Tony pointed to the stretcher as if he had found an excuse to break the white woman's burning gaze, and his tone was a bit exaggerated: "Get it out of my sight." ”

The uniformed black man, namely Rod, waved at the paramedics, motioned for them to go down, and then let go of Tony's hand, he felt that it was time for Tony and her to catch up.

"Red circles under your eyes? Missed your missing boss? Tony touched his beard unnaturally and spoke first.

"I'm happy." The white woman's eyes were slightly red, and she responded: "The province is looking for a job again." ”

"yes, your vacation is over." Tony quipped, a little scared by the white woman's look, and walked to his car first.

When Tony entered the car, he immediately found the yellow boy in the back seat, about seventeen or eighteen years old, although his face was immature, he was very handsome, and he would definitely be a heartthrob in the future, but there was one thing that made Tony very dissatisfied.

"Zhang Lan, wake up, hey, wake up." Tony pushed Zhang Lan with his intact left hand: "Can you wipe your saliva?" ”

Zhang Lan, who was woken up by Tony, looked around a little dazed, as if he hadn't woken up yet, looking at Tony's disgusted expression, he blinked, as if he was brewing something, until... A yawn came out, and he stretched out by the way.

Comfortable!

This action made Detony raise his eyebrows, and the limit of patience seemed to be about to be broken.

"Well, Tony, don't do that." Before Tony broke out, Zhang Lan finally spoke: "It's hard to protect you, I haven't had a good night's sleep for a long time." ”

Hearing the boy's words, the corners of Tony's mouth twitched involuntarily, and he opened his mouth, but he still didn't say anything in the end.

He really wanted to thank the young man in front of him, who had indeed been with him for the past two months, and had provided him with a lot of help in that dark cave.

This is the roundabout tactic that Zhang Lan has to do, Tony is a person with a poisonous mouth, but knows how to reciprocate, based on this character, Zhang Lan found Tony, his address is not difficult to find, at least for Zhang Lan, after all, in Steel No. 3, he is the position announced by himself, for which he paid the price of a villa.

After finding Tony, Zhang Lan didn't even enter the door, after all, Zhang Lan was not on Jarvis's visitor list, and Zhang Lan was not ready to meet Tony immediately, he handed Jarvis a letter and left a message for Jarvis.

"Jarvis, please tell Tony that I have a blueprint of the miniature ark reactor, and I hope he can read this letter and I'll show up on my own. So he doesn't have to look for me. ”

The design drawings of the so-called miniature ark reactor are naturally deceitful, Zhang Lan's world has not yet appeared with this technology, it is just an excuse to arouse Tony's interest, and the ultimate goal is to let him read the letter.

There weren't too many words in the letter, to the effect that Zhang Lan heard through some channels that Tony would be attacked in the near future, and Zhang Lan would appear in due course to protect his life, and the commission was a condition.

As for what the conditions were, the specifics of the attack, he did not write it down on paper.

Tony just watched it as a prank at the time, and casually checked Zhang Lan's appearance, but Zhang Lan, who was prepared, obviously wouldn't appear in his true face, he was a person who could transform himself.

Since then, Zhang Lan, who has been paying attention to the movements of Tony's private jet, disguised himself as the co-pilot and followed him to Afghanistan when Tony went to Afghanistan.

As for why he paid attention to Tony's plane movements, not Tony's movements, it was very simple, Zhang Lan couldn't find out. Tony's plane itinerary is much simpler, after all, his website has begun to show scale, and even a small working group has been formed, and among his readers, there is a lucky hacker who is good.

After Tony experiments with weapons, Zhang Lan kills an English-speaking robber, and then uses the transformation technique to transform into a robber and lurk around, witnessing Tony being knocked unconscious by his own weapon.

Coincidentally, the missile was launched by a robber disguised by Zhang Lan, and now it was shot by Zhang Lan himself.

Accidentally, he also became the mentor of Iron Man's ideological consciousness?

The reason why Zhang Lan didn't prevent this tragedy from happening was because he couldn't do anything in the environment at the time, after all, in the end, he was just a scum who could release 20 E-class ninjutsu, there were so many guns and ammunition on the scene, he could run away by himself, but Tony just... He can't be self-defeating.

And crucially, Tony, who has not been hurt by his own weapon, will still be the Iron Man? Will the mind become enlightened? No one knows.

So Zhang Lan followed the original plot and stayed lurking by Tony's side for two months, creating the scene that he saved Tony, and gave Tony some help as much as possible.

Tony also asked Zhang Lan suspiciously, why didn't he ask for help from the outside directly? The military will get him out.

At that time, Zhang Lan's answer was simple: "Do you want me to inform the military?" ”

Tony was silent at the time, hopeful? No, he didn't want to. He is a self-proclaimed genius, but he can't be a child who asks his parents for help after being defeated, and he already has his own plan.

His plan was also well implemented in the movie, but Tony didn't know this, so Zhang Lan was very happy to rub a wave of favorability.

Tools are needed to build steel armor, and many tools Tony can't ask the robbers as he wishes, but Zhang Lan can be used as a favor, mixed with the original materials and given to Tony, enough tools, unexpectedly shortened the original time of three months to two months.

As for whether it will be discovered by the robbers who deliver it? Zhang Lan, who has the transformation technique, can turn into any robber at will.

The premise is that the robber must know English, otherwise he will be exposed. Every robber Zhang Lan will not play him for more than a week, he will always use various requirements to participate in the event, and then skillfully "fight to the death", and then kill another one, disguised as him.

The only pity is that Ethan is still dead, and Zhang Lan failed to save him.

On the last night when Tony was ready to do it, Zhang Lan participated in an event to get out of the bandits' den, and found the right time to reveal Tony's location to Rhodes, and the contact information was naturally given by Tony.

In this way, Zhang Lan perfectly brushed a lot of favorability in front of Tony, between life and death, the two people who accompanied Tony, Ethan is dead, so Zhang Lan, who took the risk to rescue Tony, is naturally regarded as a confidant.

......

"Where are we going? Mr. The driver spoke at this point.

"Hogan, go to the hospital." Pebo responded in the co-pilot.

"No, no." Tony snapped, "Pepper, I'm not going to the hospital." ”

"Tony, you have to go to the hospital... To check your body. ”

"I said no, don't force me to go to the hospital, I was locked up for two months." Tony refuses very directly: "I only want to do two things now, one is..."

Before Tony could finish speaking, the boy who had been forgotten by Tony suddenly reached in front of Tony, holding a hamburger in the palm of his hand.

"Sir, is that the cheeseburger you ordered?" Zhang Lan's voice rang out at the right time.

Tony smacked his lips a little gagged, and after a second pause, he naturally picked up the cheeseburger with his intact left hand and spoke to Pepper, he needed to do the second thing.

"Pepper, I still need..."

"Hogan, go to the company, our press conference is about to begin." Tony's words were interrupted by Zhang Lan again: "I have already notified the major media outlets, use your account." ”

Tony's account is naturally Zhang Lan given by Tony.

The driver, who was called Hogan, did not know Zhang Lan. So instead of starting the car directly, he looked at Tony and saw that he nodded helplessly, so he started the car.

"How do you know?" Tony asked.

"Know what? You mean this attack? Or does Pepper think you're going to find a woman when you come back? Zhang Lan replied to the question, and what he said made De Peibo's face red.

"Tony." Pepper in the front row spoke in a little panic: "Who is this?" I'm sorry I don't know him. ”

As Tony's personal assistant, she needs to know everyone Tony knows, not to change the subject.

"Zhang Lan, Chinese-American. Well, this time I escaped, and he accounted for 12% of the credit. Tony introduces Pepper, "Blue, this is Pepper, my assistant." ”

"Zhang Lan, it's a pleasure to meet you." Pepper politely turned around in the front row and wanted to shake hands with Zhang Lan, but Tony directly grabbed his little hand.

"Zhang Lan doesn't like women, so it's better for me to hold it with you."

Can this be endured? Zhang Lan naturally couldn't bear it.

"Pepper, this trip was not bad, I got along with Tony for two months, and I found that when he slept at night, he would call a name in his dreams, and that was Pee Woo Woo..."

Although Tony's mouth was covered by the clumsy Tony, the appearance of the word "Pei" was already obvious, but Tony was still a little unprepared, so he was a little panicked.

"Hey, buddy, there's no need to change the conditions you said before, right?" Tony threatened. Before coming back, Zhang Lan had already told Tony of his request.

"Well, can I change it now?" Zhang Lan raised her eyebrows and glanced at Pepper: "My request is to let Pepper be my assistant, how about it?" I paid Pepper ten times as much. ”

This sentence is naturally a joke of Tony, after all, he can't afford to pay such a high salary.

Pepper, who was in the front row, was also tense, staring at Tony from the rearview mirror, apparently wanting to know the answer as well.

"No, you guy who robbed by fire, this condition is not good." Tony yelled uncharacteristically, "You were a good one, I agreed." ”

Tony was excited, seeing Zhang Lan smiling there, and Hogan snickering in the front row, he couldn't see Pepper's mouth, because he was sitting behind Pepper, but he could see Pepper's eyebrows upturned, he must be happy.

"Sir, here we are." Hogan interjected at the right time, relieving Tony of his embarrassment.

Indeed, at the press conference, there was an old man with a white beard knocking on the window, it was Obadiah Stein, who planned to kidnap Tony.

Obadai opened the car door for Tony with his own hands, hugged Tony who got out of the car, greeted him warmly, cared about Tony's body, and didn't look like he wanted Tony to die at all.

After a brief greeting with Obadi, Tony introduced Zhang Lan and Obadai to each other.

"Oh, Blue, thank you so much for saving Tony." Obadiah said in an exaggerated voice, "You saved Stark Industries, you know?" It's like saving me, and I won't be ashamed of Howard when I die. ”

Is this a thief with a weak heart and starting to play the emotional card?

Zhang Lan was not enthusiastic, but simply shook hands with Obadai and began to ask Tony if it was time to enter the arena. Although for the needs of the plot, Zhang Lan has not yet told Tonio Bardai his true face, this does not mean that Zhang Lan can wear a mask of hypocrisy and seek skin with the tiger.

It's not his style, he doesn't want to be that tired.

And Obadai didn't care about Zhang Lan's coldness, at least his expression didn't care, as a human spirit, controlling his emotions was the basic skill, and he played haha with Tony, and walked to the release hall.

In the press room, Zhang Lan did not dominate, but stood quietly beside Pepper, he needed to know someone.

"Miss Potts, Mr. Zhang, hello." Coulson's unwavering tone rang out.

"What's the matter?" Pepper replied politely.

"Can I have a word with you?" Coulson politely invited.

"I won't need to press the conference for the time being, but I want to see it." Pepper used Coulson as a reporter.

"I'm not a reporter, I'm Agent Coulson, representing the Homeland Strategic Defense Attack and Logistics Support Agency." A classic phrase is repeated, and Coulson hands Zhang Lan and Pepper a business card each.

"Wow." Pepper exclaimed quietly, "What a tongue-twister." ”

"We're working on that as well."

"The Department of Defense, the FBI, and the CIA have all approached us..."

"We are an independent department." Coulson interrupted Pepper, "We can only concentrate a little more, we want to hear the details of Mr. Stark's escape." ”

"I'll arrange it, okay?" Pepper was doing tai chi.

"Thank you." Coulson thanked him politely, and then turned to Zhang Lan: "Then Mr. Zhang, are you free now?" ”

Zhang Lan looked at Coulson's signature style without smiling, and looked back at Tony's people who were already sitting on the ground.

"Coulson." Zhang Lan said: "You shouldn't be busy, right?" I think there's going to be a good show to watch, why don't we watch it and then leave? ”

"As you wish." Coulson's polite reply.
