Chapter 97: Steve's Battle

After Chen Haoran left the hospital, he headed towards the S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters alone.

His mission is to protect Steve, and he doesn't want Steve not to run out of S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters, although Steve has such skills, but his body can't block bullets after all.

Hill was arranging Forry's burial at this time, and of course, Fury's transfer.

Luckily, he had orders on him, but he knew that now that he was back at headquarters, someone would definitely be looking for trouble.

Find an excuse to get rid of him.

Before coming to the bridge of the headquarters, Chen Haoran found a café and prepared to wait here.

Steve followed the assault team all the way back to S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters and directly to Pierce's office.

Kate had just finished reporting to Pierce about Fury.

"Captain," Pierce said with a smile as he watched Steve come over, "I'm Alexander Pierce." ”

"Sir," Steve squeezed Pierce's hand, "it's an honor to meet you." ”

"It's honorable that it should be me," Pierce leaned sideways, "my father used to be in the 101st Airborne Division, come in." ”

"This picture was taken five years after I knew Nick," Pierce handed the two photos to Steve, "I was in the Colombian State Department, and after the National Liberation Army of Colombia occupied the embassy, the guards helped me escape, but the rebels took the hostages, and Nick was the head of S.H.I.E.L.D. on the ground, and he came up with a plan to conduct a raid through the sewers." I said, no, we'll negotiate. As a result, the rebels did not negotiate with us, so Fury ordered to be killed, and they swept the empty basement, but found nothing, the basement was empty, and the rebels had already fled. ”

Saying that, Pierce took a pile of papers and handed it to Steve, "Steve was in a foreign country without my orders, and he gave orders and carried out missions to rescue more than a dozen government officials, as well as my daughter." ”

"That's why I'm going to promote him." Steve looked at Pierce quizzically, not sure what he was trying to say.

"I've never regretted this," Pierce looked at Steve and nodded, then continued, "Captain, why was Nick at your house last night?"

Steve shook his head slightly, "I don't know. ”

"Did you know you're being spied on?"

"Yes," Steve looked at Pierce, "it was Nick who told me. ”

"Did he tell you he was listening?"

Steve just looked at Pierce quietly, he didn't understand what Pierce was trying to say.

"I'll show you something." Pierce smiled, took the remote control on the side, and turned on the video in his office.

"Bartók, who ordered you?" In the video is a video of Bartók's interrogation.

"Is this a live stream?" Steve was skeptical.

"Yes," Pierce turned to look at Steve, "they caught him in the safe house in Algiers at the latest," Pierce pouted, "and it's clear that his safe house isn't safe." ”

"Are you saying he's a suspect?" Steve knows what a killer looks like.

Chen Haoran just drank coffee lightly, quietly listening to what Pierce would say and how Steve would choose, this was a multiple-choice question, and it was also a multiple-choice question left to him by Fury.

"Bartók doesn't like assassination." Pierce knew what Steve meant, shook his head and said; "It's not him, it's much more complicated than that.. Bartók was hired by an anonymous person to attack the Star Remria, and they contacted them by e-mail to pay by wire transfer. Pierce looked up at Steve, "The money was then transferred through seventeen fake accounts and finally transferred to a holding company registered by Jacob Vicky. ”

"Should I know him?" Steve looked at the papers in his hand.

"No," Pierce shook his head, "Vicky died six years ago, and his last address was 14-35 Elmhurst Street. When I first met Nick, I learned that his mother lived at 14-37. ”

When Steve heard Pierce's words, he looked at Pierce suspiciously, "Do you mean Fury hired pirates?" Why? ”

"The prevailing narrative is that," Pierce said, "this hijacking was nothing more than a trade to disguise classified information, and the deal went awry, and Nick died because of it." ”

Steve looked at the intelligence, was silent for a long time, and said seriously: "If you really know Nick, you know that he won't do such a thing." ”

Pierce nodded, "Why else did you come to see me?" Pierce turned to the window, "You know what?" I work on the board, and there are a lot of things that I can't help but do, and it's certainly not that I don't want to, but that's what Nick asked. ”

Chen Haoran looked at Pierce who was looking at the distant scenery from the window, and smiled slightly, but compared to Fury, this Pierce is really not enough.

Pierce looked at the landscape, "We are all pragmatic, and we know that in order to build a better new world, we need to destroy the old world. ”

Turning to Steve, Pierce continued: "And this will inevitably make enemies, and they will say that you are shameless, because you do not hesitate to do undesirable things, and only want to create better things, and I feel uncomfortable when I think that those people are living at ease now." ”

After a moment of silence, Pierce continued, "You were the last person Nick saw in his lifetime, and I don't think it's a coincidence, and I think you think so. ”

Pierce understood what he meant, and he wanted to know what Nick said at the end, "So I ask again, why is he there with you?" ”

Steve struggled inwardly for a moment, then said firmly, "He told me not to trust anyone. ”

"Is that your answer?" Pierce looked at Steve seriously, "Does that include himself?" ”

"Those were his last words." Steve looked at Pierce, "Sorry, no company. ”

Picking up the shield on the ground, Steve slung him on his back and prepared to leave.

Chen Haoran watched as Steve prepared to leave, and he also got up and left the café, followed by five small tails.

He ignored it, though.

"Captain," Pierce sat down on the table, visibly unhappy, "someone has killed my friend, and I must find out the truth, and whoever stands in my way, I will make him regret it." Pierce looked at Steve, who turned his head, "Whoever it is." ”

The threat is palpable.

Steve looked at Pierce and nodded, "Understood." ”

The elevator came to the top floor, and Steve walked into the elevator with mixed feelings, "Operation Control Center." ”

"Confirmed." The elevator voice sounds, and the elevator doors close.

But just as the elevator doors were about to close, Rumlow's voice rang out, "All commandos are ready to take position." ”

"Understood." "Forensics Division." Rumlow led the two into the elevator, saw Steve, and said hello lightly, "Captain." ”

"Confirmed." The elevator began to move downward.

"Rumlow." Steve turned around and said hello, just Rumlow and the other two chatting in an awkward atmosphere.

"The physical evidence team found some fibers on the roof," Rumlow said after descending three floors before suddenly looking at Steve, "Do you want us to take a look, want to put the tactical team in place?" ”

"Let's take a look at the situation first," Steve felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere, this was not what they usually were, one of them still had his hand on the high-voltage stun gun, and the eyes of the three of them were very floating, deliberately avoiding themselves, he knew that this was the habit of the commando, when he used to train, it was like this, he knew that the situation was not good.

"Okay." Rumlow didn't say anything.

Chen Haoran waved to Steve in the elevator on the bridge, but Steve turned his back to him and didn't see it.

A few more big men came in the elevator, and Rumlow was afraid of being exposed, so he turned around and said, "Fury's matter, I deeply regret it, it's really a tragedy." ”

"Thank you." Steve nodded, then stopped talking, just quietly watching the others.

He could clearly see the sweat of one of them from nervousness.

When the last three strong men entered the elevator, the elevator seemed crowded, and Steve watched the elevator go down, knowing that there were more people waiting for him below.

As the elevator began to descend, Steve looked at the three people who had just entered the elevator, "Does anyone else want to get out before they do it?" ”

As soon as the words fell, the elevator fell into a scuffle.
