"Dear gentlemen and ladies!" Standing on the podium at the United Nations, Christian Ward said with a heavy face: "Less than 48 hours ago, in the very place where I was standing, some very brave people lost their lives. I think for their sake we should discuss something that is often confusing, and that is the truth. ”

As soon as they got off the plane, Ling Xiao and Barbara saw Christian's speech at the United Nations playing on the TV screen at the airport, and they couldn't help but slow down, because everyone knew that once Christian Ward said the next words, the situation of the entire new S.H.I.E.L.D. would be completely changed.

"Sometimes, we wish things were simpler than they really are, but the brutal truth is that we're all complex creatures." Taking a deep breath, Christian Ward said with emotion: "The world is like this today, there is a difference between S.H.I.E.L.D. and the Hydra organization, S.H.I.E.L.D. is protecting us, and the Hydra organization, they want to rule the world. Just as good and evil coexisted in S.H.I.E.L.D., so did my own family......"

Listening to Christian Ward begin to tell about his brother's former membership of Hydra, Ling Xiao couldn't help but chuckle and said, "It seems that Coulson has handed over the person to Senator Ward, and S.H.I.E.L.D. can finally act openly now." ”

"Hmm!" Barbara nodded slightly, to be honest, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, although everyone knew that S.H.I.E.L.D. under the leadership of Coulson now belongs to the righteous side, but being wanted for a long time has made everyone's heart have a layer of heavy pressure, and now this pressure has been completely removed, everyone suddenly feels a lot more relaxed, friends and relatives who have not been in contact before can now be contacted.

"Let's go!" Ling Xiao beckoned to Barbara and said, "We should also go back and discuss our next move with Coulson, now that so many people have captured Hydra, we must be able to get a lot of information about Hydra." ”

"Wait a minute." Barbara quickly caught up with Ling Xiao and asked in a low voice, "What will happen if I don't agree to cooperate with you on the plane?" ”

"It's going to be fine, I can't kill you." There was a hint of coldness hidden in Ling Xiao's smile, and I saw him say with a calm smile: "In order to ensure that the secret between me and Hande is not revealed, I will take action to erase your memories during this time, that's all." ”

Looking at the indifference hidden under Ling Xiao's calm eyes, Barbara couldn't help but shudder, and didn't know what to say for a while.

Just as Ling Xiao returned to the base to discuss his next move with Coulson, a sudden news came that Grant Ward had fled.

When the U.S. military picked up people from Coulson's base, they sent only two sergeants to guard Grant Ward, who was handcuffed and shackled, in a prison van, and then he easily got rid of the handcuffs, killed the other two sergeants by surprise, and escaped.

If it weren't for Christian Ward's appearance of wanting to send his brother to trial, Ling Xiao really suspected that he was doing this to create a chance for his brother to escape.

"Senator Ward didn't put the blame on you, did he?" Ling Xiao looked at Coulson and asked with a frown.

"Nope." Coulson shook his head slightly, sat back at his desk, and said in a deep voice: "The people were taken from our base by themselves, and there was no one from us involved in the escort process, the transfer process has already been completed, at least it has nothing to do with us, and Senator Ward has publicly stated to the world that S.H.I.E.L.D. is stance, and he can't go back on his word, even if he wants to retaliate, he can't do anything about it." ”

"That's fine." Ling Xiao first breathed a sigh of relief, and then his face sank again: "But this also brings another trouble, Coulson, you have to pay attention, since the U.S. military already knows where your current base is, then Hydra is likely to get relevant information from them, whether it is to avoid Senator Ward retaliating against you in the future, or to avoid Hydra from attacking here, you have to be prepared." ”

"I understand!" Coulson sighed heavily, the impact of Ward's escape was far-reaching, and he whispered: "Except for some necessary personnel, most of the agents here will be transferred to other places, and they will not come or fall, once someone attacks here, no one will want to return alive." ”

In this underground base, Coulson has already made people start to set up a self-destruct device, once the Hydra people invade this place on a large scale, Coulson and they will press the self-destruct device before fleeing, and completely destroy this place.

"It's good if you're prepared." Ling Xiao didn't ask where Coulson's next base was, but instead asked, "Ward escaped, did the government make any moves, and on your side, what are your plans?" ”

"Senator Ward is now covering up the facts, and in order to avoid the impact of this incident on him, he doesn't want this matter to be exposed, so the FBI people can only start a covert search." Coulson couldn't help but shake his head, Senator Ward originally planned to use his brother in exchange for a large number of votes, but now that Grant Ward has fled, once the matter is to the media, this matter will in turn deal a heavy blow to his election.

It is precisely because of this that Christian Ward will not turn against S.H.I.E.L.D., first, he hopes that S.H.I.E.L.D. can help hunt down Ward, and on the other hand, he does not want S.H.I.E.L.D. to reveal this matter, because it will be bad for everyone.

"I've sent May, Barbara, and Hunter each to lead a team to go on the hunt, and as long as I can find Ward's whereabouts, it won't be difficult to catch him." Coulson paused for a moment before he muttered, "But I don't want us to arrest him right away, I want him to lead us to the Hydra's tracks." ”

Although they captured a lot of members such as Bakers and Marcus Scarlotti in the last operation, the relevant bases of Whitehall that these people knew had long been gone, and no one knew where Whitehall's base was.

"Okay, you can think about it, if you need help, call me directly." After Ling Xiao finished speaking, he got up and said goodbye.

It was obvious that Coulson didn't let Ling Xiao participate in the next mission of S.H.I.E.L.D., so he simply left, lest people say that he had a bad idea.

Just after Ling Xiao left Coulson's office, a figure appeared behind Coulson, it was Skye, the previous electronic wall completely covered Skye's figure, and the electronic signal blocked his induction, so Coulson believed that Ling Xiao did not realize that Skye had been eavesdropping.

"Why don't you tell him everything?" Skye stared at Coulson and asked in a deep voice, "Ward has information about my father, and he happens to have a murderous alien device in his hand, and that thing happens to be related to the inscription, and the inscription is related to the GH serum in our body." ”

"Skye!" Coulson turned to look at Skye, sighed, and asked, "What kind of person is Ling in your eyes?" ”

"Him?" Skye didn't know why Coulson wanted to change the subject, frowned slightly, and after thinking for a while, he said: "It's not easy to say, first of all, he is one of the members of the Avengers, and he participated in the Battle of New York, the Battle of London, and the Battle of Washington; Secondly, he is in the identity of a superhero, he is also an ordinary doctor, he has a little special means, he makes a lot of money, and he is a good person, when we were in crisis, it was he who helped us, killed Garrett and captured Ward! ”

"yes, don't you think he's a little too good?" Coulson sighed slightly and said: "Tony Stark has Stark Industries, Banner has problems with his own body, Natasha's identity has always been her limitation, Captain He is a little paranoid in his work, Barton's past experience is a little tortuous, and only him, except for being a little, it is difficult for you to find any weaknesses from him!" ”

"What do you mean by that?" Skye frowned tightly, she understood the subtext of Coulson's words, when a person behaves perfectly, the harder it is for him to gain the full trust of others, just like Ling Xiao is now.

"Skye, you have to remember!" Coulson stared at her tightly and said in a deep voice: "The Avengers are the Avengers, S.H.I.E.L.D. is S.H.I.E.L.D., we don't interfere in the internal affairs of the Avengers, and the Avengers can't interfere in the internal affairs of our S.H.I.E.L.D., you have to understand this." ”
