It wasn't long before Coulson and Ward returned to the plane with a bag of gold bars.

"The rear compartment of the transporter was forcibly torn open by the excavator, so we compared the tire prints and found the locals nearby who had rented the excavator, and the gold bars were the rent given to him by the attackers."

Coulson explained to Lin Yi with his hands on his chest, and then he turned his head and looked at Lin Yi.

"So, does the boss have any orders?"

"Nothing, just let me participate in this operation."

Lin Yi explained casually, staring at Fitz and Simmons, who were scanning the gold bars.

"Is there a result?"

"There it is!" Simmons raised his head and a smile appeared on his face, "These gold bars are rough in texture, only 92% pure, they should be produced directly in the mines, it looks like that unlucky guy has been deceived." ”

"And according to the impurities contained in the gold bars, we have found three mines with the most consistent mineral quality, and the most suspicious of them is the Daisy mine in Tanzania, because it belongs to the ......"

"Quinn International Inc."

Looking at the information displayed on the screen, Coulson frowned.

"Ian Quinn! I should have thought that Dr. Hall and Ian Quinn were classmates at Cambridge University, and after joining S.H.I.E.L.D., Dr. Hall also mentioned this Ian Quinn more than once, saying that he had stolen his ideas and achievements to start his own business. ”

"Really?"

Lin Yi raised his eyebrows and teased with a smile.

"Looks like he's not content with stealing Dr. Hall's ideas now."

"Wait, are you really sure it's him?" Skye's eyes widened, a little incredulous, "I mean, Ian Quinn is a recognized good guy and philanthropist, and he's given nearly $8 billion. ”

"Giving money doesn't equal being a good person, Skye." Simmons patted her hand, "What's more, Ian Quinn's money is earned by exploiting the earth's resources and low-level workers, believe me, you won't want to see those surveillance videos in the mines under his name." ”

"It should be him."

Coulson nodded and made up his mind.

"Fitz, Simmons, you cooperate with Skye to investigate what Quinn has been doing recently, especially their CEO Ian Quinn, and figure out where Dr. Hall may be imprisoned, May, go back to the cab and be on standby, we may be taking off!"

……

……

Meanwhile.

The capital of the Republic of Malta.

Dr. Hall, who had just been unrestrained, moved his wrist as he surveyed his surroundings.

This is a very well-equipped laboratory, and judging by the weightlessness I felt when I was blindfolded by the black bag just now, it should be a secret research institute located underground.

Thinking of this, Dr. Hall looked up at the middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes with a wine bottle in front of him.

"Ian, where is this?"

"Malta!"

Ian smiled slightly, took out two wine glasses from the cabinet next to him, and said as he poured the wine.

"This is the former prime minister's house, although I don't like the style very much, but it is fully equipped, and the space area is large, even far larger than the space on the ground, so I thought, buy it~"

"Malta ......" Dr. Hall had a sarcastic smile on his face, "Ian, you're really smart, and here, even S.H.I.E.L.D. won't be able to trouble you. ”

"Huh."

Ian Quinn walked towards him with two wine glasses in his hand, smiling.

"Not only S.H.I.E.L.D., but also one of the few places where even the Avengers don't have the right to act, tsk, the enchanting sandy beaches, the tempting tax laws, and the deep-seated hatred of outside interference...... To tell you the truth, I have now naturalized this beautiful country and have transferred all my assets here. ”

The corners of Dr. Hall's mouth twitched, and he took the glass, then raised it slightly.

“…… To Malta? ”

"To Malta!"

Ian Quinn smiled and clinked glasses with him, then drank it down.

Dr. Hall only took a sip, keeping his eyes on Ian Quinn.

After putting down the glass, Ian Quinn smiled at Dr. Hall.

"What's more, here, it's impossible for them to touch you......"

As he spoke, Ian Quinn pulled out a small transparent ball from his bosom that was identical to Coulson's hand and placed it in Dr. Hall's hand, with a smug and confident smile on his face.

"Well, do you know this?"

“…… Gravity? Did you find it? ”

Dr. Hall's eyes widened, and he frowned slightly, with an excited and complicated look on his face.

"That's right."

Ian Quinn smiled.

"After 20 years, 12 mines, 7 continents, I have finally found it, and you, my old friend, you will be the first person in the world to actually study it, and the best person in the world to study it, I am convinced of that...... You don't have to give me an answer right now, I'm going to have an annual general meeting this weekend, and if you think about it, let me know before the meeting. ”

……

……

"Annual General Meeting?"

"That's right." Coulson nodded, "I'm going to do a rescue operation at this conference. ”

"What about the goal?" Lin Yi frowned, "Are you sure that Dr. Hall is at the location of the shareholders' meeting?" ”

"There's an 80 percent chance it's there." Coulson said with a solemn expression, "Ian Quinn kidnapped Dr. Hall just to let him study gravity for himself, so Dr. Hall will inevitably be in the laboratory of Quinn Corporation, and Quinn International Company has already moved its headquarters to Malta, so there is no reason not to move his own laboratory there." ”

Lin Yi nodded abruptly and agreed with Coulson's judgment.

"This is our only chance." Coulson looked at Lin Yi with a serious expression, "Quinn's house is surrounded by a barrier made of rubidium lasers, and no one can enter without permission, so ...... Mr. Yi, this rescue operation may depend on you, and we can only create interference and cover for you outside. ”

"No problem."

Lin Yi smiled and nodded.

A relaxed smile also appeared on Coulson's face, what could be easier than assigning a mission to an Avenger, he didn't even have to think about how to get in for Lin Yi.

"But there's one thing to be aware of." "Malta is a country with a particularly sensitive sovereignty and will not allow any outside forces to enter the country, and with the many powerful shareholders invited to Quinn's shareholders' meeting, we fear that this action is likely to cause international outrage," Fitz cautioned. ”

"I understand." Lin Yi also straightened his face, "I will make them suffer and unspeakable." ”

"In that case...... Coulson clicked on the table in front of him, and a glowing blue light popped out, forming a model of a mansion above the table, "Let's study the terrain one last time." ”

……

……

On the weekend, luxury cars drove from the city and stopped at the door of Ian Quinn's mansion, and many men and women in suits and leather shoes and bright makeup stepped out of the luxury cars and walked into the gate of the mansion together.

At the same time, a radar-optical double-stealth plane quietly came to the sky above the mansion.

The rear hatch of the plane opened, and Coulson, Skye, Ward, and Lin Yi all stood by the hatch, reaching out to hold the grip lever on the bulkhead, and looking down at the mansion below.

Looking at the terrain below, Ward spoke: "Below is Ian Quinn's mansion, this mansion is surrounded by water on three sides, we can't land here, it's better to stop on that deserted island a kilometer away, and then ...... from the waterway"

"It's okay."

Lin Yi reached out and patted Ward's shoulder, interrupting his words.

"I've arrived."

After speaking, Lin Yi smiled slightly, then his knees bent slightly, and the whole person jumped from a height of five hundred meters, and after a short period of acceleration, he fell on a bare reef on the southern water surface at a speed of tens of meters per second.

Boom –

The huge wave is like a lotus flower that is more than ten meters high, and then it is shot down, the three-meter-long hard reef suddenly bursts, and the sputtered gravel breaks through the surrounding waves, drawing a white trajectory from the air, and then a white figure breaks through the towering waves, and then falls on the soft shore after crossing a larger white trajectory.

The waves receded, and the huge reef that once stood on the shore was gone.

Looking at the waving figure on the shore, Ward couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth.

"This is the Avengers."

Coulson smiled and patted Ward on the shoulder, then turned and walked towards the cabin.
