Chapter 332: The Actor (Thanks to the Book Friend Tiger v Wind and the Silver Moon Demon Man for their tips, plus one more chapter)
After sending Pepper and Maya to the airport, Ling Xiao went back to his villa, and in the hangar on the side, Yuriko Koyama was already sitting in the driver's seat of the Destiny plane, and after Ling Xiao sat in the passenger seat, she started the plane out of the hangar.
The vertical turbine was launched, and the next moment, the plane had already risen into the sky and flew towards the east.
Ling Xiao naturally won't let Pepper return to New York like this, and he can't trust Maya at all, today's incident is too coincidental, as one of the famous Avengers, the superhero Iron Man Tony Stark has just been killed by terrorists, and the U.S. Senate immediately took action against Stark Industries, which is too chilling.
Once this matter is poked out by the media, no matter who is in charge of this matter, he will inevitably be criticized by the media and the public, and it is difficult to step down because of this, and it is difficult to succeed in this matter.
The U.S. government is a meritocracy, and there may be corrupt officials, but there are very few mediocre officials, and even if there are, they are pretending. Those who are incapable have long been eliminated by the treacherous officialdom, and at this time everyone may be silent, but as long as there is the right time, they will inevitably join forces to turn over these cases.
Therefore, even if someone is eyeing the huge fortune in Stark Industries, they will not be stupid enough to choose this time to do it, and the best time is to wait for this turmoil to pass, and seize the financial loopholes of Stark Industries to chase and fight, which is the right thing to do.
So now the Senate has called Pepper to Washington, things are very abnormal, Pepper can see it, Ling Xiao can also see it, but after all, the senator officially issued a document, and Washington and his party can't help but go.
In Ling Xiao's opinion, there are a lot of clues in this matter, he knows that Killian is cooperating with a certain senior member of the government, and this time asking Pepper to go to Washington is also a conspiracy, but this is also good, you can also take the opportunity to probe their bottom, anyway, Ling Xiao is here, and there is no need to worry about Pepper will have an accident.
Sure enough, on the way to New York, Pepper's plane suddenly turned and turned to fly southeast, and all of this, Ling Xiao, who was closely behind, saw it.
In Florida, in an ancient fort outside of Miami, heavy guards are patrolling everywhere, and on a large tree outside the castle, Tony Stark is carefully observing everyone's patrol route.
Seeing the opportunity, Tony climbed into the castle from the brick wall that was only two meters high, avoiding most of the patrolling guards according to his previous observations, and occasionally encountering two or three powerful tranquilizers in his hands, powerful electric shock devices in his hands, which came in handy at this time.
After overthrowing four tall guards in a row, Tony broke into the main building, and some familiar scenes came into view, a drunken blonde beauty and a bodyguard muttering something.
Tony walked from behind, and a powerful electric shock device was pressed against the back of the bodyguard's waist, and the next moment, under a convulsion, the bodyguard passed out.
Stark picked up his pistol from the table and made a silencing gesture to the blonde beauty opposite, and the man was drunk, thinking Stark was playing a game with the bodyguard, and smiled and laughed, and soon the man was already drunk.
Stark, who was holding a pistol, walked up to the second floor cautiously, pushed open a door and walked in, and this room was where the Manchurian recorded the horror video, and there was a wallpaper made with the Manchurian as the background on the computer screen.
Through these messy and terrifying images, Stark entered the innermost room, the room was very large, a large bed came into view first, and the bed kept rising and falling, indicating that there was someone in the quilt, not a person.
Walking cautiously to the head of the bed, Stark looked solemn, clenched the pistol, gritted his teeth, and reached out to lift the quilt.
However, what appeared in front of him was not the vicious terrorist Man, but two blonde beauties who looked quite good, and when they looked closely, they still looked a little alike, either sisters, or mother and daughter.
"Shh Stark pointed his pistol at the two men and motioned for them not to speak, as there was a sound of water flushing from the bathroom.
Carefully hiding in the shadow of the bedside, Stark pointed the muzzle of the gun in his hand at the two beautiful women, and waved his hand at them.
The two immediately understood what he meant, and re-covered the quilt and lay on the bed, and at this time, the man in the nightgown walked out of the bathroom with a smile and said, "I don't usually stay in the bathroom for 20 minutes." Okay, which of the two of you is Vanessa? ”
"I am!" The slightly older beauty responded.
"Oh, Nissa!" Lord Man took out a piece from the plate on the table, threw it to Vanessa, and then said with a smile: "Do you know that fortune cookies were not invented by Chinese, he should have been invented by Americans, using Japanese recipes." ”
The man said, but didn't notice Stark, who had a strange face, stepped out of the shadow at the foot of the bed.
In addition to Vanessa, another beauty had to remind the Manchurian people: "There is a person here." ”
However, the man who said that he was on the rise didn't pay attention at all, and Stark had to shout: "Hey! Don't move! ”
"I don't move, I don't move." Looking at Stark who suddenly appeared, this strange Manchurian raised his hand to Stark in an authentic British accent and said: "What do you want, just take it, but those guns are fake, and they don't dare to let me take the real guy,"
"Enough!" Stark sighed again, pulled the bolt, and said anxiously and angrily: "You are not him, the real Manchurian, where is he?" ”
"He's here, he's here." Seeing Stark looking like he was about to shoot, the man quickly took two steps back, and said in a confused voice: "He's here, but he's not here, it's complicated." ”
"What do you mean by that?" Tony took a deep breath, barely regained his composure, and asked in a deep voice, "What are you, a decoy or a stand-in?" ”
"My name is Trev, Trev Slater." The man said with an innocent and scared face: "I'm not a bait, I'm not a stand-in, I'm an actor, I'm from the UK, and I've been on Broadway for many years." ”
Not a decoy, not a stand-in, all of this confused Star, he pointed the muzzle of the gun at the forehead of the man, and said coldly: "You have one more minute, think about the last words." ”
"It's just a character." Seeing that Stark still didn't believe it, Trev Slater said anxiously and angrily: "This Manchurian is a character, you know, he's not real." When I was in New York, I had a little bit of trouble, a little bit of trouble about drugs, and I ended up doing it in a special way, and then they asked me to play the role because they knew about drugs. ”
After a pause, Trev Slater continued: "They gave me a lot of things, like this big house, and he gave me a facelift, a beautiful woman, and a very beautiful yacht. The problem, however, is that someone has to be held accountable for the bombing. ”
"He, Killian?" Stark has now finally connected everything, and this so-called Manchurian is nothing more than a puppet.
"Yes, it's Killian!" Trev Slater nodded vigorously and said, "He created me, and he planned all of this, he and his think tank planned it all by himself, serial killer pathology, manipulation methods abused by Western idolism, and of course, my acting skills are also first-class." ”
Stark suddenly sat down in his chair with some dejection, this is the truth he had worked so hard to seek, he raised his head, and was about to say something to Tref, but suddenly found that his gaze fell behind him, and he was shocked, Stark immediately turned his head, but it was too late, a heavy fist had already smashed on his head, and his eyes were dark, and the other person had already fainted.
