"Mr. Ling, do you really want to get the Super Soldier Serum?" In the elevator, Pepper couldn't help but ask.

"Well, I'm not interested in super soldier serums at all." At this time, Ling Xiao's eyes were very clear, he looked at Pepper, and said solemnly: "Miss Pepper, it's not me who needs the super soldier serum, it's Mr. Stark himself." If you think about it, even if there is no threat of shrapnel near the heart, as the world's first superhero with a public identity, Mr. Stark will definitely be involved in all kinds of dangers, and you should know all kinds of dangers without me saying anything. ”

Pepper nodded subconsciously, Ling Xiao was right, since the first battle in Los Angeles, she has always been worried about something bad happening to Tony Stark. That's why, they moved from Los Angeles to New York so quickly.

"After all, Mr. Stark is just an ordinary person wearing a steel suit, and no matter how strong 'Iron Man' is, there will always be a time for him to take off his steel suit. Besides, Miss Potts, you're his greatest weakness! ”

Ling Xiao's words echoed in Pepper's mind until she returned to the top room, looked at Tony Stark, who had resumed his research on the Iron Suit, and had already made a decision in her mind.

Sitting in the car that took him back to the hotel, Ling Xiao rubbed the small glass bottle in his hand, and he couldn't help but laugh when he thought about the last words he said to Tony Stark.

Of course, he said that on purpose, with Stark's identity, even if he didn't deliberately inquire about some things, a lot of news would automatically reach his ears, what is the super soldier blood essence, how could Stark not know, the study of it has never stopped.

Not to mention distant ones such as Red Skull and Captain America, and since the beginning of modern times, the Super Soldier program has continued. Although researchers have found that no matter how hard they try, they have not been able to replicate Dr. Irkins's equations, but many of them have been successful in redoing experiments with emerging technologies, but unfortunately found that most of these modified soldiers have side effects.

The Hulk, Dr. Bruce Banner, Abomination, Wolverine, Dead Girl, Spider-Man, Green Goblin, and many more are all continuations of the Super Soldier program. Relatively speaking, Spider-Man is already the least side effect among many experiments, Wolverine and Death Girl themselves have super physical recovery ability, needless to say, and Hulk, Abomination, and Green Goblin, this is the opposite of it.

Ling Xiao wasn't sure how much Tony Stark knew, but he was sure he wouldn't be ignorant.

In Stark's office, Ling Xiao deliberately made a greedy and ambitious appearance, hoping that Stark's impression of him would deteriorate.

Ling Xiao didn't want to get too close to Stark, with him, there were a lot of troubles, but there were not many benefits. Relatively speaking, most of Tony Stark's enemies are ordinary people, Obadiah Stein, Justin Hammer, and the Russian who doesn't know when he will come, plus the guy who is behind the scenes, sorry, he really can't remember the names of those two people.

However, Ling Xiao was completely sure that these people were not qualified to be on the list of gods and demons at all.

In that case, why should he bother with these people, it is enough to squeeze enough benefits from Tony Stark, and there is no need to maintain much relationship with him.

500,000 US dollars, this is the cost of Ling Xiao's treatment for Stark, I really can't imagine that not long after Ling Xiao's treatment bill was sent to Pepper's mailbox, Stark Industries paid this fee.

It just so happened that he also had some things to do, and he needed a sum of money, and it took a whole afternoon of busy work for Ling Xiao to deal with the matter.

That night, he invited Xu Liang and Zhou Qian out again, and after inviting them to a French dinner, he took them to a high-end apartment building in Flushing Center.

"Ling, what are you bringing us here for?" Waiting at the elevator entrance, Xu Liang looked around with some curiosity, this is a newly built apartment not long ago, the furnishings in the building are very clean, the surrounding environment is also very good, 10 minutes walk to Main Street, adjacent to PS242 Primary School, convenient shopping nearby, close to various public transportation lines.

Ling Xiao was the first to walk into the elevator, and while pressing the button on the 11th floor, he said very casually: "Because of some work matters, I may often go back and forth between Los Angeles and New York in the future." I can't stay in a hotel all the time, so I rented an apartment here and took you to a place today. ”

As she spoke, Ling Xiao seemed to inadvertently sweep Zhou Qian, and Zhou Qian also happened to raise her head to look at Ling Xiao, the two looked at each other, and she immediately lowered her head like a frightened deer.

"Ling, why did you suddenly get a job in New York, it can't be related to that woman from yesterday, right?" While speaking, the elevator had reached the 11th floor, and Xu Liang asked a little cautiously as he walked out.

"You want more!" Ling Xiao flicked Xu Liang's forehead, and then explained while opening the door: "It's because I have a patient in New York who needs to come from Los Angeles to treat him often, as for more details, I'm sorry, I can't say more because of the confidentiality regulations." ”

"You're only a senior, Ling Xiao, are the University of California medical students so popular?" Xu Liang shook her head in disbelief, she wanted to say more, but as soon as she entered the room, she was almost stunned.

The house is very new, after all, it has just been built, the structure is reasonable, two bedrooms and one living room, located on the 11th floor with a balcony, in front of the building is a sports field, and the view is extremely wide. The décor in the room is very modern, with large floor-to-ceiling windows, exquisite decoration, comfortable sofas, all kinds of appliances, and oh my God, there are two bathrooms.

As soon as Xu Liang entered the house, she began to drill everywhere, her life in New York has not been very good in the past few years, and it is rare to be presumptuous.

"I'm afraid the rent of such an apartment is not cheap, right?" Zhou Qian looked at everything in the apartment with some surprise and asked with a little curiosity.

"For $3,000 a month, I've paid my rent for two years. Come and sit. Ling Xiao motioned for Zhou Qian to sit down on the sofa, took out two bottles of juice from the refrigerator, handed them to Zhou Qian and Xu Liang, who had just returned to the living room, and then continued: "I may only come here two or three times a month, so when I am not usually around, I hope you can come and take care of me more." Of course, forget about the master bedroom, you can stay in the guest room as you like. ”

"The world of local tyrants is really incomprehensible." Xu Liang sighed with surprise, and said with a smile: "Then we're welcome." ”

"It's okay, I should have said thank you, the security in New York is not good after all, I don't want to come back one day, this place has been stolen by thieves." Ling Xiao shrugged his shoulders, complained about the security of New York, and by the way, took out two access cards and two keys from his body, handed them to Xu Liang and Zhou Qian, and said at the same time: "Look, whoever of you two has time can come over and help clean up by the way." ”

"Thank you, Ling Xiao." Zhou Qian glanced at Ling Xiao deeply, then at her best friend sitting on the side, and reached out to take the access card and key. She knew in her heart that Ling Xiao did this because of the needs of her work, but it was actually compensation for her, and she was even afraid that she would not accept it, so she dragged Xu Liang in too, and did not give her the slightest chance to refuse.

However, at this time, Zhou Qian's feelings in her heart were very complicated, because all this was the result of her own secret promotion, but everything was done very skillfully, and Ling Xiao didn't notice it at all.

Maybe he has already noticed it, but he is expressing his attitude in this way, New York is just a temporary place for him to rest after all, Los Angeles is his home, and that woman is the last harbor in his heart.
