Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Time to Say Goodbye
Natasha and Barton hurried towards the location of the phone call.
During this time, in order to complete the special recruitment task given to the two by S.H.I.E.L.D., the two of them did not have a good rest, and every night in addition to reading countless materials, they were checking the information of everyone in the Imperial University Square at that time.
In addition, there were a large number of people at that time, and the management was not strict, so you could copy an admission sign and visit.
The speed of checking them one by one is even slower to the limit.
The heavy amount of reading in the past few days has made Natasha, a very dedicated person, almost impatient, and if she hadn't looked at Gwen's crazy revenge search, she couldn't help but retreat in her heart.
"What did you find?"
Hawkeye Barton didn't ask Natasha what she found when she was at the base just now, but now that she was in the car, Hawkeye had time to ask Natasha what she found this time, in such a hurry.
If he found out who the Flame Giant was, Hawkeye didn't think he and Natasha would be able to deal with that terrifying fellow.
Natasha roared along the navigation, her eyes fixed on the road ahead, and said solemnly: "Gwen's fiancé!" Xiao Shixuan is not dead! ”
Startled by Natasha's words, Hawkeye said in disbelief: "How is that possible! Didn't you know for sure that man had been killed? Gwen, didn't she say that at the last glance she saw those bullets pass through Xiao Shixuan's body? ”
"Sometimes, what you see is not necessarily what you real." Natasha said solemnly, and then stepped on the accelerator frantically.
……
Pepper Potts in the phone booth here finally heard the other party ask her to wait in place, and immediately came over.
This made Pepper Potts, who was holding a public microphone, feel inexplicable, and even began to wonder if the other party was the ghost Spider-Woman, and the other party didn't even ask the location, could she still be found?
Pepper Potts glanced at the remaining five-cent coin in his hand that could talk for thirty seconds, and silently pursed his mouth, "Forget it, she said she could find it if she could." ”
This coin was her last money.
Pepper Potts didn't wait downstairs and went straight up to her apartment building.
But Pepper Potts didn't notice that a pair of viper-like eyes were staring at her back as she walked up the stairs in an apartment behind her.
"Boss, I have found Xiao Shixuan, and there is a woman who lives with him!"
"Keep watching, anyone who comes into contact with him must give me a clear investigation that will not be left behind!"
"Yes! Boss! Need we get our hands dirty? ”
Erickson on the other end of the phone was looking at the photo of Pepper Potts that his subordinates had just taken him, and his mature face was smiling happily, "In a week, bring me this woman." ”
"No problem, boss."
……
Upstairs, Xiao Shixuan and Pepper Potts looked at each other, each with a little embarrassment on their faces.
Just now, Xiao Shixuan remembered the problem of eating.
Well, this is a big problem for Xiao Shixuan.
Home, either don't cook, or just cook a three-piece suit, open the recipe on the mobile phone, boil water in the kettle, and tear open the instant noodles.
The exquisite dishes in the menu make people look more delicious.
But now, Pepper Potts doesn't have anything to eat in his house, and then Xiao Shixuan has no money.
Pepper Potts saved him, and Xiao Shixuan was embarrassed to force others to rub food for you again, which was rude. But if he didn't eat, Xiao Shixuan had no money to buy food, so he fell into a situation where he signaled to Pepper Potts with hungry eyes.
I looked at me and said, "There should be no problem."
Not only Xiao Shixuan thought of the problem of eating, but Pepper Potts also thought of this serious problem of eating.
She still has five cents on her body now, and she can drink some water, and she can't afford to eat anything else.
However, she felt from the bottom of her heart that Xiao Shixuan was rich, after all, Ghost Spider-Woman is the hottest superhero in the United States, and now the only superhero in the United States.
In addition, Xiao Shixuan was also a hot news editor of the New York Times newspaper before, and his salary was quite a lot.
Pepper Potts hesitated to borrow some money from Xiao Shixuan to eat, but he was worried about whether he would leave a bad impression if he borrowed money from Xiao Shixuan.
After all, a person who can't even eat enough doesn't look like a person who can manage a company well.
But I'm really hungry!
Xiao Shixuan and Pepper Potts glanced at each other and let out the same call.
Xiao Shixuan was in a coma for two days, during which Pepper Potts did not feed Xiao Shixuan anything except drinking water.
Pepper Potts was busy counting the data for two days, and had no time to go out to do odd jobs, so he survived on the few food left in the house for two days.
Both of them have reached the point of exhaustion.
Just when Xiao Shixuan and Pepper Potts looked at each other awkwardly, a soft knock came to mind outside the door, "Is it Ms. Pepper Potts's home?" ”
Xiao Shixuan listened to this unfamiliar voice, his brows furrowed.
But Pepper Potts couldn't wait to run to the door and open it.
The one who can come to the door at this time is still a woman's voice that she has never heard before, and Pepper Potts can think of it as the ghost Spider-Woman!
"Hello, I'm Pepper Potts, are you the Ghost Spider Lady?" Pepper Potts stared curiously at Natasha, who was a little shorter than her in front of her, a little cramped and uneasy.
Facing the nervous Pepper Potts, Natasha pretended to be a ghost Spider-Woman without embarrassment, and generously admitted, "Yes, you called me just now, didn't you?" ”
As she spoke, Natasha took an old phone out of her pocket and flipped to the phone number she had just had.
"Yes! Yes! Your fiancé is ...... in my house," Pepper Potts could finish her sentence when she felt her hand pulled back hard.
Standing at the door and looking coldly at Natasha and Hawkeye Barton, pulling Pepper Potts behind him, staring at the familiar old mobile phone in Natasha's hand, Xiao Shixuan suppressed his anger and asked in a cold voice: "How can Gwen's phone be in your hands!" ”
"She's not Spider-Woman the Ghost?!" Pepper Potts looked at Natasha, who had short brown and red hair in front of her, and she was incredible.
Xiao Shixuan squinted slightly, and the forehead muscles of his shoulders slowly solidified and tightened.
"My fiancée, Gwen, is not as pretty as the lady in front of me."
Natasha looked at Xiao Shixuan, who was extremely vigilant, and silently compared the information she knew about Xiao Shixuan and Xiao Shixuan's photos in her heart, the two of them looked the same as each other, and they should be Xiao Shixuan's real person.
As for why Xiao Shixuan didn't die, this Natasha doesn't know, there must be a big secret in it.
Facing Xiao Shixuan's questioning, Natasha was not embarrassed at all, and explained with a smile: "Thank you, Mr. Xiao Shixuan, for the compliment, now Ghost Spider-Woman has no free time, so I entrusted the two of us to invite the two of us back." ”
"Any proof?" Pepper Potts belongs to the group of people who don't know Natasha at all.
She was deviated by Natasha just now, and she was extremely vigilant.
Just as the four of them were talking at the door again, on the windowsill of the apartment corridor, the ghost Spider-Woman slowly stood up, "I should be able to prove it." ”
