Over snow-capped mountains, over hills.

The endless snow-white suddenly disappeared, and the verdant grass and flowers rushed into the eyes.

Raising his binoculars, Ryan saw a house in the valley in the distance, beautifully kept.

Jumping off the cliff, Ryan was soon running on a dirt road overgrown with weeds in the sun.

A moment later, through the shade of trees on both sides of the road, a corner of the house was revealed.

Bang!

A gunshot rang out, and a cloud of sawdust erupted from the trees behind Ryan.

He swerved and rushed down the hillside, into the dense bushes.

The branches and leaves swayed, constantly attracting attacks from the other side.

Before he was about to break away from the bushes and fully reveal his body, Ryan shook his arm and grabbed his rifle.

A leap scurried out and rolled to the right after landing.

Bullets grazed his body and flew by.

Get up and aim.

Gunshots rang out, people fell.

Ryan threw his rifle behind him, turned to pistol drawn, and stepped forward.

Upon getting closer, Ryan smelled an unusual smell coming from the corral, but there were no livestock around.

The woman had one arm hanging on the ground, the muzzle of the gun was still dripping blood, and she was trying to lift the gun with her left hand, but after seeing Ryan approaching, she also let out a long sigh, turned her head and lay on the ground and gave up continuing.

"Melina Vosekov."

"It's me, who are you?"

"Ryan."

"I haven't heard of it." Melina shook her head, looked at Ryan's equipment, and said, "You look like a mercenary, but I'm sure there's organization behind you." ”

"You're smart." Ryan looked at the surrounding corrals and asked, "Where are you in your research?" ”

Melina's eyes condensed slightly: "I don't understand what you're saying." ”

Ryan looked into her eyes and shook his head slightly, "Now I want to retract what I just said." ”

Melina was silent.

Ryan saw the blood oozing from her shoulder, so he stepped forward to help her up.

However, as she leaned over, Melina pulled out a sharp dagger out of nowhere and quickly stabbed Ryan in the eye.

But Ryan quickly grabbed her wrist, and no matter how hard Melina gritted her teeth, it would be difficult to move in after all.

"It's the first time." Ryan said, twisting his hand and the dagger dropped.

With his hands under her, Ryan walked towards the house with Melina in his arms.

Probably not expecting Ryan to make such a move, Melina lay in Ryan's arms for two seconds, and then glared angrily.

Ryan turned a blind eye.

When you open the door, you will see a tidy room.

Placing Melina on the couch, Ryan asked, "Should there be a medical kit at home?" ”

Melina looked at him with a frown for a moment before pointing to a door.

After Ryan entered, Melina bit her lip and thought quickly, but she was still puzzled.

After a while, Ryan fetched a white box.

"Take it off." He said with a calm look in his eyes.

Melina unbuttoned her coat with a simple movement, but when she took off her black shirt with one hand, she touched the wound, which made her hiss.

Ryan reached out to help her.

Melina was left with only a gray sports bra on her upper body.

But she didn't squirm in the slightest, even if she kept looking at Ryan.

In a moment, Ryan treated her wound and finished dressing, and got up to sit across from her.

"I think we can talk about it now."

Melina glanced at the bandage on her shoulder, looked up and said, "Hurt me first, and then talk to me, is this how your organization does things?" ”

"No, that's my way of doing things. Also, I didn't want to get into a conflict with you in the first place, you fired the gun first. ”

"Huh. Well, before you ask me, can you tell me who you really are? ”

"Whether or not you can tell depends on whether your answer is satisfactory enough." Ryan didn't want to waste any more words, and asked directly, "Do you know the location of the Red House?" ”

Melina no longer concealed it at this time, let alone pretended not to have heard of the Red House, but she still shook her head: "I don't know." ”

"Okay, so you should be able to reach them?"

"Yes."

"Was your research successful?"

"It's my own business."

"I don't think the Red House will provide you with the resources to be kind enough to let you learn to train a bunch of obedient pigs at home all day long."

Melina frowned and got up slightly: "How much do you know?" ”

"It's my own business." Ryan leaned back and said, "Do you remember that you have two daughters?" ”

Suddenly, Melina's expression changed.

But Ryan didn't continue.

After a few minutes of stalemate, she took a deep breath: "If you want to threaten me with them, then you're ......"

Ryan interrupted: "No, you're thinking too much, I've never liked to solve problems in a threatening way, besides, I can solve you directly." ”

"And what exactly are you trying to say?"

"Natasha is currently a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent, and she should have known about it for a long time with the intelligence of the Red House. Before coming here, I had just taken Alexei Shostakov out of prison. ”

Melina's eyes instantly burst into flames: "Did he reveal my address?!" ”

"So to speak. But it's not appropriate to use the word exposure, you have been a husband and wife for three years before, although it was fake at first, but judging from his understanding of you, you should still be connected? ”

"Fart! I should have let those people kill him right away! ”

Ryan persuaded without wavering: "Don't be so excited, he knows that I won't kill you, so he will tell me." ”

It was evident that Melina was so angry that blood began to leak out under the white bandage.

After a moment, she suddenly looked up: "You know this, then, what about Yelena?" ”

Ryan paused, then suddenly smiled, like ice thawing and winter snow melting.

"I thought you wouldn't take the initiative to ask, but now it seems that you still care about your daughter...... Although it is fake. ”

Melina grabbed the sofa with one hand, her face was still light: "It's none of your business, tell me Yelena's news, and I'll tell you what you want to know." ”

Ryan got up and approached her.

Looking down, he looked down into Melina's eyes.

"You shouldn't ask me, because you know exactly where she is."

In an instant, the light in Melina's pupils spread, and the unfocused gaze seemed to penetrate time and space and fall into the unknown distance.

When she came back to her senses, she saw Ryan standing in the open space of the living room, looking closely at a cross sword in his hand.

Melina turned her head quickly, and immediately saw her open arsenal.

At this moment, she felt more and more the mystery of the man in front of her...... As well as terrible.

He seemed to know everything.

Melina got up and said in a firm tone, "I don't know where she is!" ”

Ryan looked at the mirror-like blade in front of him, his voice slow and steady.

"It sounds like you're convincing yourself."
