Chapter 69: The unconscious soldier and the captain, the Phoenix Girl's worries!
Lynn looked at Pepper walking in through the door and said, "Given Tony's personality, he would definitely refuse a Doctor."
"Then we can't act like nothing happened, can we? After all, Tony only has the two of us as friends. He's getting more and more strange now. I guess it's either a mental problem or a physical problem!"
Hearing Rhodes' somewhat worried tone, Pepper, who had walked over, said, "I will arrange for a Doctor and a private Doctor to diagnose Tony."
"Although he has refused more than once, his current situation is indeed very unusual."
"But thank you for your help, Rhodes, Lynn. Tony's personality is a bit stubborn. If there's really a problem, I hope you can help me persuade him!"
Hearing Pepper's request, Lynn and Rhodes naturally nodded in agreement.
As the three were talking, Lynn and Rhodes' phones suddenly rang.
They picked up the calls and heard urgent news from the other end.
Rhodes' expression changed, and then he looked at Lynnseriously and said, "Damn it, are the Terrorists crazy?"
New York Airport.
When Lynn drove to the airport, it was already completely sealed off.
Dozens of armed helicopters hovered in the sky, and the ground was blockaded by the Military.
NYPD was urgently evacuating people inside the airport, and even the areas around the airport were being evacuated.
After showing his credentials and entering the scene, Lynn saw the Military and CIA personnel standing by in full alert, while Uncle George Stacy was talking to General Ross of the Military.
When Alice, who was leading the team, saw Lynn get out of the car, she immediately ran over: "Head, something big has happened."
"Half an hour ago, a Terrorists' 'Iron Curtain' plane entered U.S. territory."
"The Military wanted to drive them away after discovering their unauthorized entry, but then they found that this Iron Curtain plane was carrying a nuclear bomb. If they forcibly drove it away, it would likely cause a great disaster."
"As a result, this plane finally landed at New York Airport, and the cabin door has not been opened, nor has the plane given any response."
Hearing Alice's explanation, Lynn nodded.
Coming to General Ross and Uncle George, Lynn asked, "General Ross, Uncle George."
"Lynn, you're here."
After nodding to Lynn, George Stacy was about to speak when he heard General Ross say, "Director Lynn, you should already know what happened. What do you think?"
Facing General Ross's question, Lynn said, "We can't make a judgment yet, General Ross. Have your Militarysent people to communicate?"
"We've tried to communicate, but the other side has always maintained radio silence, as if they're resisting communicating with us!"
"The President at the White House has already spoken with the Terrorists' President, but the Terrorists also don't know why this Iron Curtain plane would fly to New Yorkwith a nuclear bomb!"
At this point, General Ross said in a low voice, "If this Iron Curtain wasn't carrying a nuclear bomb, I would have ordered it shot down long ago!"
Hearing General Ross's somewhat angry tone, Lynnsmiled and said, "There shouldn't be any danger. If they wanted to drop a nuclear bomb on the United States, they wouldn't have landed the plane at the airport."
As he spoke, Lynn saw that the anti-chemical, fire, and other departments had also arrived, and then said, "I think we should send people in to take a look. Waiting forever isn't a solution."
Facing Lynn's urging, General Ross said, "I want to too, but we have to wait for the situation from the White House or the orders from the Department of Defense!"
At this point, General Ross retorted, "Director Lynn, your Federal Bureau of Investigation has great authority, why don't you..."
"I'm just a Director, not the Director, and besides, the New York Federal Bureau of Investigation is still under the Department of Justice."
Looking at General Ross, who was giving him bad ideas, Lynn said, "Before the situation is clear, even if the New York Federal Bureau of Investigation has great authority, it cannot act rashly."
Seeing Lynn refuse, George Stacy, who had originally wanted to say something, also nodded in relief.
He was very afraid that before the situation was clear, Lynn would order his team to enter the plane for the sake of merit.
After all, Lynn was still young.
But now it seemed that he had worried too much.
As for General Ross's look, trying to incite him to give an order, George Stacy directly chose to ignore it.
The Iron Curtain plane did not communicate, and the radio remained silent.
For a moment, everyone was at a standstill.
Taking out cigarettes and sharing them with Lynn and George Stacy, General Ross looked at Lynn and said, "By the way, I haven't thanked you for what happened last time."
"Hmm?"
"It's about Stryker."
Hearing General Ross mention Stryker, Lynn lit his cigarette: "It's nothing, after all, I've always liked to be kind to people."
"Since he realized his mistake and voluntarily came to the Federal Bureau of Investigation to apologize to me, I naturally wouldn't hold it against him."
Hearing this, George Stacy, who was beside them, also nodded slightly.
He knew the child he had raised very well.
Lynn was not the kind of petty person.
Looking at Lynn's magnanimous demeanor, General Rossalmost laughed out of anger.
Was he praising him?
And the Police Director next to him even looked like he approved.
Tsk, they're really a family!
Looking at the Iron Curtain, which was still silent, General Ross crossed his arms and said to Lynn, "I just saw Rhodes came in your car? Your relationship is quite good?"
"That's right, we met through Tony."
"It's good to be friends, after all, whether it's our Military, or the Police, or your Federal Bureau of Investigation, we all serve this country, so..."
"General Ross, just say what you want to say. Personal interactions are fine, but there are some things that you should understand without me saying them."
"Actually, it's nothing major."
Looking around, General Ross whispered, "It's still about Bruce Banner from back then, isn't it? That Abominationhas already been locked up, but your Headquarters..."
"I can't help with this, after all, I'm just a small Director."
Before General Ross could finish speaking, Lynninterrupted with a smile.
Yes, ever since General Ross created Abomination, the Federal Bureau of Investigation Headquarters has been keeping an eye on him, and the reason is already there.
Now, whenever General Ross wants to take another step up, he encounters great obstacles.
And the Federal Bureau of Investigation is also part of the obstacle.
The two kept chatting, and their cigarettes slowly burned out.
After more than half an hour, Lynn and General Ross's phones rang simultaneously.
Lynn picked up his phone and walked aside to answer the call, hearing Director Duke's voice from the phone: "Lynn, the White House and the Terrorists have failed to communicate, and the situation cannot remain at a standstill."
"So the Department of Justice believes that this matter should be taken over by our Federal Bureau of Investigation."
"Now, you immediately lead your people into the cabin to check the situation inside. At the same time, the Militarywill cooperate with you to dismantle the nuclear bomb carried by the Iron Curtain."
At this point, James Duke said seriously, "Be careful, Lynn. Also, this matter involves two countries, so you must handle it 'cautiously'!"
Listening to Director Duke emphasize the word "cautiously" so heavily, Lynn immediately understood his meaning.
They were preparing to bring everyone inside the plane back to the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
After all, this way, the group of people on the plane would become those who had "abandoned the darkness and turned to the light"!
"I understand, Director!"
After hanging up the phone, Lynn immediately returned to the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
"Get ready, we're going into this plane immediately!"
Hearing Lynn's order, Alice immediately nodded.
Directing the members of the action team to slowly advance towards the plane, Alice also said, "Boss, you're not wearing a bulletproof vest. Let me lead the team in!"
"This matter is very important, so it's better if I do it!"
Lynn patted Alice's arm, took out his pistol, and then walked towards the plane.
Although he wasn't wearing a bulletproof vest, Lynnwasn't worried about danger.
His acquired Spider-Sense ability allowed him to sense danger.
Coupled with his Teleportation skill, even if the Terrorists' soldiers inside the plane suddenly shot at him.
Lynn would not be in the slightest danger.
Inside the cabin.
Seeing the Federal Bureau of Investigation members and the Military, armed with live ammunition, surrounding the crisis, the co-pilot, who had just woken up, tremblingly raised his hand and opened the cabin door.
Lynn, who was originally preparing to order the use of unconventional methods to break the door, saw the cabin door suddenly open and immediately took his weapon, leading his people onto the plane.
"Don't move, Federal Bureau of Investigation!"
"Hands up, let us see your hands!"
"Surrender immediately, otherwise..."
As the action team members roared one after another, they entered the cabin and found more than a dozen people lying on the ground, their lives unknown.
Seeing this scene, Alice knelt down and felt the neck of one of the soldiers.
After finding a faint pulse, she immediately said to Lynn, "Boss, they're still alive, but they've fallen into a coma!"
Hearing Alice say this, Lynn immediately ordered them to be sent for emergency treatment.
He took his weapon and went to the cockpit, which was now covered in blood.
The Captain was slumped in his seat, his head pierced by a bullet, and his chest riddled with holes.
The co-pilot, meanwhile, weakly said, "Boris · Aleksey."
Having just uttered that name in a faint voice, the co-pilot fainted once again.
Seeing the co-pilot's abdomen continuously bleeding, Lynn immediately had someone send him to the ambulance.
After everyone was sent to the designated hospital, Lynnled his people to carefully inspect the interior of the cabin.
After a careful inspection inside the cabin, Lynn did not find any signs of a struggle.
This indicated that the dozen or so unconscious soldiers must have been drugged.
Only the Captain and co-pilot had gunshot wounds.
After having the information department collect all the flight logs and other information, Lynn finally walked down from the plane.
"No wonder the radio remained silent all along, and they didn't respond when we sent people to communicate. It turns out they were all unconscious!"
Seeing the soldiers being carried down one by one, General Ross came to Lynn's side and said, "Let us, the Military, handle them. After all, we..."
"The nuclear bomb is yours, but we'll take the people!"
Facing General Ross, who wanted to take credit, Lynndirectly refused: "You should know that when it comes to cases of Terrorists threatening the country, our Federal Bureau of Investigation always has the highest priority."
"Terrorists?"
Looking at the unconscious Terrorists' soldiers, General Ross frowned and said, "You're saying they're Terrorists?"
"If they're not Terrorists, which country would dare to carry a nuclear bomb into New York? I believe they must be Terrorists dressed in Terrorists' soldier uniforms. Don't worry, we'll notify you once we've thoroughly investigated!"
After speaking, without giving General Ross a chance to reply, Lynn exchanged a few words with Uncle Georgeand then immediately led his people back to the New York Federal Bureau of Investigation.
In the car.
"Have the Information Department and Intelligence Department investigate a person named 'Boris · Aleksey'."
Hearing Lynn's order, Alice immediately notified Joey.
Half an hour later, inside the hospital surrounded by the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
"Director!"
Seeing Director Duke arrive, Lynn stood up from his chair.
"How's the situation?"
"The co-pilot is still in critical condition, and as for the dozen or so soldiers, they are still in a coma. The Doctorsaid they inhaled a large amount of anesthetic gas, and only a few of them have a chance of waking up."
At this point, Lynn said, "Director, under normal circumstances, even Military fighter jets need to receive special orders to carry nuclear bombs."
"But this Iron Curtain flying to New York with a nuclear bomb, it can't be that they're really surrendering to us."
"What do you think?"
Hearing Lynn say that, James Duke asked.
"I guess the captain of this plane must have received a fake Military order to take off with a nuclear bomb."
"According to the flight log found on the plane, the destination of this Iron Curtain fighter jet was tampered with during the flight and set to automatically navigate to New York."
"Plus the soldiers were unconscious, the captain was dead, and after the co-pilot woke up from being shot, he immediately said the name Boris · Aleksey when he saw me."
"I think all of this must be related to him!"
Hearing Lynn's guess, James Duke nodded: "It's roughly the same as my guess."
"However, no matter what, they were all persecuted and eventually chose to 'abandon the darkness and turn to the light', so we must treat these people who yearn for the beacon of democracy and freedom kindly!"
Listening to the Director's earnest words, Lynn smiled: "I understand, I will leak this news to the media."
Patting Lynn's arm with satisfaction, James Duke said with a chuckle: "Since there's a target, go investigate, and make sure to find out what that person named Boris · Aleksey is up to!"
"Yes, Director!"
After seeing Director Duke leave, Lynn waved to Alice.
After giving the instructions, Lynn sat back in his chair and waited for the Intelligence Department's investigation.
At the same time, the Mexico border.
"Bang!"
"Bang bang!"
Boris · Aleksey cleanly shot and killed the Mexican gang in front of him, then searched them for some money.
Then he drove their vehicle to the airport.
The fake passports were already prepared, and now all departments in New York were attracted by the plane carrying the nuclear bomb.
Now was his chance to avenge his parents!
Inside Mutant Academy.
"Professor, there's still no trace of Ororo!"
After rushing back from outside, Jean Grey looked at Professor X and shook her head: "For more than a month, I've searched from Los Angeles all the way to Starling Island, but I still haven't found any trace of Ororo."
"Not only that, the female student Magneto wanted to take away is also missing."
At this point, a hint of worry flashed in Jean Grey's eyes: "Professor, could Ororo have already..."
Facing Jean Grey's concern, Professor X, sitting in a wheelchair, shook his head: "That's still unclear at the moment, but Ororo shouldn't die so easily."
"I tried to use Cerebro to find Ororo and that girl, but unfortunately, they seemed to have vanished into thin air with no results."
"Hopefully Scott and Logan can bring good news!"
Hearing that the Professor had placed his hopes on Scottand Logan.
Jean Grey knew that the Professor currently had no other options.
After thinking for a moment, Jean Grey said: "Professor, I want to go to New York."
"You want to seek the help of Mr. Lynn Hall?"
"Yes!"
Nodding solemnly, Jean Grey said to Professor X: "Professor, perhaps we can search through the Federal Bureau of Investigation's satellites."
After a night of fermentation, the news of the Russian soldiers defecting to the free and democratic United States spread throughout America the next day.
Not only that, these soldiers, who yearned for freedom, even voluntarily delivered a nuclear bomb.
As soon as this news came out, almost all Americans were thrilled.
Major television stations across America rushed to report on the matter, and some media even camped out at the hospital entrance from early morning, hoping to interview those who had "abandoned the darkness and turned to the light."
Inside New York Airport.
The airport display screen was currently showing an interview with Lynn Hall.
In the interview, Lynn Hall stood outside the hospital and stated that the soldiers who had abandoned the darkness and turned to the light were undergoing medical examinations.
Once their examination reports showed everything was normal, arrangements would be made for them to be interviewed and so on.
Seeing the interview video, Boris · Aleksey sneered, then spat his chewing gum onto the ground!
He didn't believe a single word the official on TV said.
With his own hands, the soldiers who had inhaled a large amount of anesthetic gas would not survive at all!
Walking out of the airport, seeing a black car parked there, Boris got in without hesitation.
"Damn it, I can't believe you actually did it!"
Starting the car and leaving the airport, the person driving said: "Such a big thing happened yesterday, and you still dare to swagger and fly to New York."
"I don't know whether to praise your courage or say you're crazy!"
Facing his companion's surprise, Boris pulled out a pack of cigarettes from the car, took one out, lit it, and said: "Precisely because such a big thing happened yesterday, I had to fly over openly."
"After all, they would never imagine I'd go through normal channels!"
"Is it worth it?"
Looking at Boris through the rearview mirror, his companion was silent for a few seconds: "You're only twenty-eight, no matter the outcome of all this, you'll be wanted by Russia and the United States."
"If your luck is bad, you'll even die here."
"Don't try to persuade me, Valiant. The thought of avenging my parents has been in my heart for twenty years!"
Slowly exhaling smoke, listening to Lynn Hall's interview on the radio, Boris smiled: "Besides, the FBI wants to catch me too?"
"I saw the guy being interviewed on the radio at the airport, with his pretty boy looks, he probably got promoted by selling his ass."
"Let him go grovel to those rich ladies, but catch me? Heh..."
Seeing Boris · Aleksey's confident tone, his companion said no more!
Anyway, it was already done, there was no room for regret!
Inside the hospital.
"Boss, the Intelligence Department hasn't found any information about Boris · Aleksey."
Coming before Lynn, Alice explained: "It's very likely that this person has a special identity in Russia, for example, he might be from the KGB, so..."
Hearing Alice say that the Intelligence Department found nothing, Lynn stood up and said: "Have someone guard this hospital, we're going to the Russian consulate in New York!"
"Huh?"
Hearing his boss's order, Alice said in surprise: "Boss, we just announced that people from Russia brought a nuclear bomb and defected, which is like slapping them in the face."
"And now we're going to the consulate, is that okay?"
"Why not?"
Looking at the somewhat surprised Alice, Lynn smiled: "Don't forget, how things are ultimately defined is up to us, the FBI!"
Half an hour later, inside the Russian consulate in New York.
"Mr. Consul, some things can't be hidden."
Looking at the Russian consul sitting opposite him, Lynn Hall smiled: "You should know what it means for your country's fighter jet to carry a nuclear bomb and intrude into United States territory."
"We can say they came to defect to the United States, but likewise, we can also consider them to be engaging in a Terrorist attack."
"Tsk, a fighter jet carrying a nuclear bomb, this is even more shocking than the Twin Towers incident back then."
Hearing Lynn say that, the consul looked at Lynn angrily: "This is a threat!"
"A threat? But why do I feel that this is you Russians deliberately trying to provoke friction between the two countries?"
"I don't believe that without a special order, your Russian Military would dispatch a fighter jet carrying a nuclear bomb to intrude into America."
At this point, Lynn leaned back in his chair, spread his hands, and smiled: "So, I think you should be happy with the definition I've given to those soldiers, shouldn't you?"
Hearing Lynn's words, the consul was silent for a moment.
Indeed, although the defection of Russian soldiers to America was a scandal.
Compared to carrying a nuclear bomb to commit a Terrorist attack, a scandal, while unpleasant, wasn't fatal!
Thinking of this, the consul waved his hand, then had his secretary hand Lynn the information he wanted.
Taking the information on Boris · Aleksey and glancing at it, Lynn almost laughed in anger.
Besides the name, photo, and date of birth, everything else had been deliberately erased!
"Is this the sincerity of your consulate?"
Waving the document in his hand, Lynn frowned and asked.
"This is already the most detailed information I can provide!"
Facing Lynn's dissatisfaction, the consul said: "Boris · Aleksey's identity is not ordinary; it involves a great deal of classified information."
"If that's the case, then whatever happens next, I hope you, Mr. Consul, are prepared."
After speaking, Lynn stood up and left with Alice and the others.
Inside the car.
"That's it?"
Looking at the photo in the document, Alice said angrily: "Damn it, they're completely blowing us off, boss, are we just going to let it go?"
"Of course we can't just let it go, but having a photo is already pretty good."
"Have the Information Department track down Boris from the photo, I have a feeling he's in New York right now!"
Hearing Lynn's order, Alice immediately nodded.
New York, inside an apartment.
"Damn it, even if all this is deliberate slander by the Americans, the fact that those soldiers flew a plane with a nuclear bomb and landed safely at New York Airport is an undeniable truth!"
Looking at the news report, Andrei Romonosov said angrily.
Seeing her husband's angry expression, his wife stepped forward to comfort him: "Dear, no matter what, we have to find a way to calm this matter down."
"If we let things escalate, our country might become an international laughingstock!"
Hearing his wife say that, Andrei took a deep breath, pulled out his computer, and was about to contact his superior.
But the living room door was kicked open.
Seeing the armed intruder suddenly burst in, Andrei had just raised his hands.
But the guy fired three shots, killing his wife.
Seeing this, Andrei's eyes were about to split, he wanted to rush forward, but a bullet pierced his abdomen!
On the way back to the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
"Boss, the brothers guarding the hospital called and said the co-pilot has regained consciousness after being rescued."
After listening to the report on the phone, Aliceimmediately said to Lynn: "According to the co-pilot, he was Boris · Aleksey's Officer when he was in service."
"Later, Boris · Aleksey left the flight unit after being selected by the KGB."
"As for the Iron Curtain fighter jet carrying the nuclear bomb, they did receive this order, and at the time, they thought it was to secretly carry out some special mission."
"But they didn't expect that shortly after the fighter jet took off, Boris · Aleksey miraculously appeared in the fighter jet and then used anesthetic gas to make the soldiers inside the fighter jet fall unconscious."
"Even the automatic navigation to New York was set by Boris · Aleksey!"
Hearing Alice's account, Lynn looked at Boris's photo obtained from the consulate and asked: "Did the co-pilot say what Boris · Aleksey's purpose was in doing this?"
"It should be revenge, Boss. According to the co-pilot's description, Boris · Aleksey's parents were murdered when he was eight years old."
"He had repeatedly spoken of avenging his parents when he was in the Military, but the co-pilot wasn't clear on the specifics."
As Alice was speaking, the intelligence department, based on the facial comparison of Boris's photo sent back by Lynn, had already discovered a lead: he appeared at the airport and was picked up by a black sedan.
Although the license plate used by that black sedan was fake, and even the car itself might have been stolen.
However, surveillance showed that this black sedan directly took Boris · Aleksey to an apartment building in Bronx.
After receiving the news from the intelligence department, Lynn immediately led a team to Bronx.
Half an hour later.
When Lynn's team arrived at the apartment, the couple living there had already been shot dead.
Lynn glanced at the bodies on the ground, then instructed the Doctor to perform an autopsy and ordered his people to investigate all information about the couple.
He led his men in a thorough search of the apartment, but found no unusual clues.
Until Lynn came to an inconspicuous room on the second floor.
Opening the door to this room, Lynn discovered it was a storage room.
Moreover, the floor of the storage room and various machines were covered in dust, as if they hadn't been cleaned for a long time.
Following Lynn into the storage room, Alice reached out and touched a broken washing machine.
Looking at the dust on the washing machine, she then said to Lynn, "Officer, almost everything here is broken household appliances and the like."
"Would you put broken washing machines, lawnmowers, and even refrigerators all in here?"
Looking at Alice's question, Lynn motioned for his subordinates to remove all the clutter, then carefully inspected every corner of the room.
"The co-pilot said that Boris · Aleksey's purpose is revenge. Since it's his target for revenge, their identity is definitely not ordinary."
As he was speaking, Lynn noticed some spliced seams on the attic ceiling, and immediately took a mop handle from the side and poked it.
"Thump thump.."
Hearing the thumping sound, Lynn smiled at Alice and said, "It's empty!"
He had someone bring a ladder, removed the empty ceiling, and soon a travel bag appeared in front of Alice.
Alice took the travel bag out from the gap and opened it, then pulled out a large amount of cash and dozens of passports from various countries.
There were also two well-maintained handguns in the bag.
"Damn it, this couple has so many passports from different countries, and the identity information on the passports is all different. Officer, are they Agents?"
"Very likely. Use a detector to scan the entire room, inside and out. If they really are Agents, then we might find more things."
"Yes!"
Hearing Lynn's order, Alice immediately had someone use a detector to scan the room walls.
A few minutes later.
When the detector found the secret room behind the cloakroom, Alice immediately led her people inside.
Looking at the various listening devices and documents in the secret room, Alice turned to Lynn and said, "Officer, these things are indeed standard Agent equipment."
"It seems we might be able to catch a large number of Agents this time!"
Lynn glanced at the various equipment in the secret room, then told Alice to take everything back.
Then he turned and left the apartment.
Federal Bureau of Investigation Building.
Sitting in his office, Lynn flipped through the files of Andrey · Romontsolov and his wife.
"Officer, have a cup of coffee!"
Barbara placed the coffee in front of Lynn, then came behind him and gently massaged his head: "Is it a very troublesome case?"
"Troublesome, not really, but the Andrey couple shouldn't be Boris's target for revenge."
"According to the information, Andrey · Romontsolov is 32 years old this year, and his wife is only 29. Twenty years ago, Andrey was only 12, so he wouldn't have been able to kill Boris's parents."
Closing his eyes and feeling Barbara's massage, Lynnasked, "Any news from Shawn?"
"Shawn's team is tracking that black sedan, but according to records, NYPD received a stolen vehicle report two days ago, so that car was likely stolen."
"But Officer, Boris · Aleksey entered Andrey · Romontsolov's home in that black sedan and never came out again."
"Nearby surveillance also didn't capture where he went after killing those two people."
Hearing Barbara's words, Lynn nodded: "Boris is an Agent from the KGB after all, so he does have anti-reconnaissance capabilities."
"It's normal for surveillance not to capture his escape!"
As the two were talking, the office door was knocked.
After letting someone in, Dennis immediately reported to Lynn: "Officer, Shawn has already brought back the person who was driving that black sedan."
Hearing Dennis say this, Lynn got up from his chair and asked as he walked out, "How did you catch him?"
Facing Lynn's question, Dennis explained: "Officer, according to city-wide surveillance, Shawn found this black sedan driving in Brooklyn."
"After we intercepted him, we found that the driver had just bought it from a black market car dealer this morning."
"Then we interrogated that black market car dealer, and thus learned about the seller of that car."
At this point, Dennis chuckled: "Officer, when we arrested that seller, he even tried to resist with a gun, but his marksmanship was really bad, not even as good as mine."
Hearing Dennis say this, Lynn laughed: "You're saying that the guy who picked up Boris · Aleksey from the airport has terrible marksmanship?"
"Yes, Officer. At the time, we even thought he was an elite from some Military unit, or an Agent from the KGB."
"But after catching him, we found out he was just an ordinary person!"
In the interrogation room.
"I've already said everything I need to say. I just stole a car, I really don't know that Boris you're talking about."
Valiant · Vladimir said, groaning and clutching his shot right arm.
Looking at the stubborn Valiant in the interrogation room, Lynn took his file and glanced at it: "Came to New Yorkseven years ago, has been working in the building cleaning industry, divorced his wife three years ago, and his six-year-old daughter was awarded to his wife for custody."
Looking at the records about Valiant in the file, Lynnsmiled: "From the information, he does seem like an ordinary person."
"But I'm very curious why someone like him would have any connection with an Agent like Boris · Aleksey!"
Hearing Lynn say this, Dennis, who was standing nearby, walked into the interrogation room.
He whispered something in Shawn's ear, and then Shawn gave Valiant a cruel smile.
"I heard that after you divorced your wife, your six-year-old daughter was awarded to your ex-wife? From the information, your daughter is indeed very well-behaved and cute."
"I don't think they know about the things you've done, do they? Six years old, your daughter should be in elementary school, right?"
Facing Shawn's threat, Valiant, who had been groaning, froze, then roared at Shawn: "Damn it, this has nothing to do with my ex-wife and my daughter!"
"You can't do this, they are innocent, you can't use innocent people..."
"Innocent?"
Listening to Valiant's roar, Shawn pressed his head down hard onto the interrogation table.
"Bang!"
The heavy blow made Valiant's head bleed profusely, while Shawn grabbed his hair and glared at him, saying, "You Mao Xiong actually sent fighter jets carrying nuclear bombs into New York."
"F***, do you know how many people that nuclear bomb would kill if it exploded? Aren't they innocent?"
Listening to Shawn's roar, Valiant, whose head was bleeding, trembled and said, "This has nothing to do with me."
"Tsk, quite principled!"
Releasing Valiant's head, Shawn stared into his eyes: "Unfortunately, even if you're principled, it's useless. We've already found out about Boris killing the Agentcouple, the Andreys."
"The Federal Bureau of Investigation has issued an arrest warrant for him, plus what he's done has betrayed Mao Xiong."
"Valiant, you are a Mao Xiong national yourself, so you should know how they treat traitors."
"Now you are also an accomplice, so I am going to implement humanitarianism and send your ex-wife and daughter back to Mao Xiong."
Hearing Shawn's threat, Valiant trembled all over: "No, you can't do this, this has nothing to do with them."
"Whether it has anything to do with it, is up to me!"
Pushing open the door of the interrogation room, Lynnlooked at Valiant and said, "I'm in charge of this matter, so if I say it's related to them, then it definitely is!"
Sitting opposite Valiant, Lynn took out a cigarette and threw one to him: "Of course, if you tell me what I want to know, then perhaps I will forget about this matter!"
Looking at the cigarette thrown in front of him, Valiant trembled and said, "Involving the suspect's family, is this your FBI's style?"
"Damn it, I should have listened to Boris and not sold that car to the black market just for a few hundred U.S. dollars!"
Listening to such a pig teammate's regret, Lynn didn't speak, he just lit his cigarette and threw the lighter to him.
A moment later, Valiant picked up the lighter and smiled bitterly: "You have to promise not to harm my wife and daughter."
"Of course, provided that what you confess can satisfy me."
Hearing Lynn say this, Valiant looked up at Lynn: "What if, and I mean what if, I can help your Federal Bureau of Investigation crack an Agent case that has been lurking for decades, involving as many as thirty people?"
"Can I get a reduced sentence? I don't want my daughter to see me in prison!"
"Reduced sentence?"
Looking at Valiant's somewhat eager eyes, Lynn smiled: "Do you know? We FBI have many informants."
"Many cases, we have solved them by relying on evidence provided by these informants."
"If it's really as you say, and you can help us uncover dozens of Agents, then I can promise you that I will change your identity to an FBI informant, and there will also be a large bonus."
At this point, Lynn looked at Shawn: "How much did we give the informant for cracking the Mexico drug dealer case last time?"
"Officer, last time we confiscated a total of two hundred and twenty kilograms of drugs, so we gave the informant a total reward of 35,000 U.S. dollars!"
"Did you hear that? I believe that thirty-odd Agents who have been lurking for decades are definitely more harmful than drugs."
Looking at Valiant, Lynn smiled: "If I'm not mistaken, the few hundred U.S. dollars you got from selling that sedan were probably for your daughter's child support, right?"

"I can make the decision. If we can truly catch those spies, then I can apply for a fifty-thousand-dollar informant fee for you."
"With this fifty thousand dollars, your daughter can attend a better school."
"So, prison or money, you choose!"
Listening to Lynn's words, which were a mix of threats and incentives, Valiant picked up a lighter and lit the cigarette.
After taking a deep drag, Valiant said, "I hope you haven't deceived me, Agent. This all started twenty years ago."
"Boris · Aleksey and I grew up together. Then, when we were eight, our parents and Boris's parents were murdered!"
"Later, Boris chose to join the army, but I wasn't selected due to health reasons. However, all these years, we never gave up investigating the murderer!"
"Later, Boris was selected for the KGB, while I dropped out of school. It wasn't until seven years ago that I suddenly received a call from Boris."
At this point, Valiant took another deep drag from his cigarette: "Actually, at that time, I had already given up investigating the truth behind my parents' murder because I already had a family."
"But Boris, through the KGB, investigated and found that the person who killed our parents had transformed into an dispatched spy."
"I finally came to New York after Boris persuaded me several times."
Looking up at Lynn, Valiant said, "The Andre couple, whom Boris killed, were actually subordinates of that spy. Boris also learned the spy's hiding place from Andre!"
After receiving the list from Valiant, Lynn Hall asked Aliceto retrieve the identity information of these individuals.
As the names appeared one by one on the notebook, Lynn discovered that some of these individuals were teachers, while others were Doctors.
There was even one spy who worked in the city hall.
Looking at these individuals, Lynn closed his notebook and said to Valiant, "Are you sure everyone on this list is a Bear spy?"
"Of course!"
Facing Lynn's skepticism, Valiant said very seriously, "My memory is excellent. These are all people Boris · Alekseytold me about. I definitely won't remember incorrectly."
"The superior of these spies is named Angelina, and she has been working at the New York consulate. Boris said she was the one who killed our parents!"
Signaling Sean to continue the interrogation,Lin En stood up and left the interrogation room with his notebook..
A few minutes later, in James Duke's office.
"I didn't expect there to be so many Bear spies in New York. I'm afraid there will be even more in Washington."
After glancing at the names on the list, James Duke said to Lynn, "You've done an excellent job with this, Lynn. As long as we can apprehend these spies, your and my resumes will look even better."
"Moreover, this will be beneficial for my competition to become the Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and it will also make it smoother for you to take over the New York Federal Bureau of Investigation in the future."
"Now, immediately lead your subordinates to apprehend all these spies!"
"Yes, Director!"
Hearing James Duke's order, Lynn nodded: "However, Director, according to Valiant's confession, Angelina has always worked at the consulate. If we forcefully enter the consulate to make arrests, it might cause a diplomatic protest from Bear."
"If the Department of Justice holds us accountable then, you might have to bear the pressure. How about we wait until Angelina leaves the consulate before making the arrest?"
Well, in front of James Duke, Lynn naturally had to pretend to consider everything for him.
Sure enough, hearing Lynn say this, James Duke smiled: "Don't worry. Even if Bear protests, the ones with the headache will be those guys in the White House. The consulate is not an embassy."
"Understood!"
Nodding, Lynn stood up and left James Duke's office.
As soon as Lynn left, James Duke chuckled and said, "Pierce, I told you my judgment was right!"
As soon as James Duke's voice fell, Alexander Pierce's laughter came from the phone on the table: "Indeed, he is a very capable and thorough young man."
"With him helping you, you might really be able to become the Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation Headquarters."
"James Duke, do you want to make a deal with me? Give me Lynn Hall, and you can pick any of my subordinates."
"Don't even think about it."
Hearing Pierce's suggestion, James Duke said, "You should continue working hard on that Insight Project with your subordinates."
"I'm planning to hand over all those young people who are still wet behind the ears to Lynn to manage after a while."
Hearing that James Duke valued Lynn so much, even intending to hand over the young generation of HYDRAmembers he controlled to Lynn for management.
Inside S.H.I.E.L.D., Alexander Pierce frowned and said, "Are you sure you want to do that? No matter how capable Lynn Hall is, he is not…"
"I believe my judgment will not be wrong!"
Listening to James Duke's crisp answer, Pierce frowned, then said a few words before hanging up the phone.
Placing the phone on the table, Pierce thought for a few seconds, then pressed the button on the table.
Soon, there was a knock on the office door.
New York, Bear Consulate.
Getting out of the car with the fully armed action team, Lynn took a submachine gun and made a tactical gesture, looking at the abnormally closed consulate gate.
Upon seeing Lynn's tactical gesture, the members of the action team immediately approached the consulate gate in an offensive formation.
The leading tactical team aimed at the surroundings, ready to attack at the first sign of any disturbance.
Meanwhile, another group of members took out professional equipment and swiftly broke open the abnormally closed iron gate.
The moment the iron gate was opened, the first tactical team immediately rushed into the courtyard.
Sean kicked open the monitoring room next to the iron gate and found a body on the ground.
Seeing this, Sean immediately went to the monitor.
The monitor screen showed every corner outside the consulate, but no abnormalities were found.
"Boss, all the security personnel of the consulate's security department have been shot dead, and there's nothing unusual outside."
Hearing Sean's words in his earpiece, Lynn grabbed his submachine gun and led his team into the consulate building!
Kicking open the consulate door, they saw several people in uniform lying in pools of blood in the hall.
The consulate was eerily quiet, as if everyone had vanished.
He led his team in a fan-shaped tactical search on the first floor, but found no one in any of the rooms.
Upon reaching the second floor, Lynn saw unfinished steak on the dining table and automatically burned cigarette ashes, and he knew that the people in the consulate must have been suddenly attacked and then hastily evacuated.
"Sean, use the thermal imager to scan and find the safe room in the consulate."
Hearing Lynn's order, Sean immediately had the first team use the pre-prepared thermal imager to scan.
Meanwhile, Lynn continued to search with his team towards the third floor.
Upon reaching the third floor, his Spider-Senseimmediately gave a danger warning.
He instinctively raised his gun and aimed forward, only to see a grenade flying towards them.
"FUXX!"
He used the gun stock to smash the grenade into the room across the hall, and the next moment, the grenade exploded instantly.
"Boom!"
The violent explosion blew the contents of that room to smithereens, but Lynn rushed towards the direction from which the grenade was thrown at the first instant.
When he saw a pistol poking out from around the corner ahead, Lynn fired without hesitation.
"Da da da"
A burst of bullets hit the pistol, and Boris, who was trying to sneak attack, instantly pulled his hand back.
Hearing footsteps rapidly approaching, Boris ran towards the window without hesitation.
Just as he was about to reach the window to jump out, Lynn suddenly appeared in front of him.
Seeing Lynn appear out of thin air, Boris · Aleksey gripped his dagger and thrust it directly at Lynn.
Boris · Aleksey himself was a former Agent, so his movements were naturally very agile.
However, in front of Lynn, who possessed Spider-Sense, Boris's assassination attempt was like slow motion.
After dodging the dagger that was aimed at his heart by sidestepping, Lynn grabbed Boris's arm with one hand and flung him with force, throwing Boris like a sandbag.
"Bang!"
His body slammed heavily against the wall, and the moment Boris landed, he immediately reached for a pen with a poisoned needle, ready to fire.
But before he could aim the pen at Lynn, the next second, Lynn closed in, grabbed his arm, and twisted it forcefully.
"Crack…"
A crisp sound rang out, and Boris's arm was directly broken by Lynn!
"Ah!"
The intense pain made Boris instinctively cry out, but Lynn's fists rained down on him like a storm!
Lynn's attack seemed incredibly fierce, but in reality, Lynnwas holding back his strength.
If Lynn had used his full strength, Boris · Aleksey would probably have already turned into a puddle of mud!
By the time the action team members rushed over, Boris · Aleksey had already been beaten unconscious.
Waving his hand, signaling his subordinates to take him down, Lynn looked around, then beckoned to Dennis.
"Boss."
"The consulate staff should be hiding in the safe room by now, so go to the data room and contact Joey. Have her remotely control the computer to copy the consulate's data!"
Hearing Lynn's order, Dennis immediately nodded.
Leaving the action team to continue their search, Lynn put away his gun and walked towards the second floor.
"Boss, are you alright!"
Upon reaching the second floor, he saw Sean, who had heard the commotion, rushing over anxiously.
Seeing that Lynn was fine, Sean finally breathed a sigh of relief: "I heard the explosion and gunshots just now, it scared me. Boss, if there's ever such a dangerous situation again, please let me lead the team!"
"After all, a supervisor doesn't need to go out on field duty!"
Hearing Sean say that, Lynn lit a cigarette and said, "Not going out on field duty, just sitting in the office all day?"
"It's also good to have Barbara massage you every day. If that doesn't work, I can introduce you to my girlfriend's colleague, her colleague…"
"Get lost, let's talk about serious business first. Have you found the safe room?"
"Found it, it's in the consulate's Underground Room!"
Hearing Lynn's question, Sean immediately said, "I didn't expect there to be a hidden safe room in that Underground Room. If it weren't for the life detector scanning images of a group of people, I really wouldn't have found it."
Bringing the action team members to the Underground Room, the hidden safe room could not be opened from the outside at this moment.
He took out his phone and called the consulate official inside the safe room. Once the call connected, Lynn said, "Mr. Consulate Official, Boris · Aleksey, who attacked you, has been apprehended by our Federal Bureau of Investigation."
"You can now bring your subordinates out of the safe room!"
Hearing Lynn Hall's voice on the phone, the consulate official slightly breathed a sigh of relief.
He remembered when Lynn Hall brought people to him, requesting to investigate Boris's file.
He had made every excuse and created difficulties, yet now he and his people had nearly died at the hands of Boris · Aleksey.
In the end, they were saved by Lynn Hall, whom he had deliberately made things difficult for.
Thinking of all this, the consulate official couldn't help but feel a little ashamed.
Opening the safe room, the consulate official proactively stepped forward and extended his hand to Lynn, thanking him sincerely: "Thank you, Mr. Lynn Hall, thank you for saving us."
"I apologize for the Boris · Aleksey file incident, and I hope you won't mind!"
"I don't mind, of course I don't mind."
Lynn said with a smile, looking at the consul who was sincerely thanking him.
After speaking, Lynn waved his hand, and in the next second, the action team immediately stepped forward and forcibly arrested Angelina and all seven people on the list.
Seeing this scene, the consul immediately looked at Lynn: "Why is this, Mr. Lynn Hall? Your order to forcibly take away people from our consulate is deliberately provoking a conflict between the Mao Bear and America."
"I hope you can give me an explanation, otherwise I will—"
"Mr. Consul, according to the evidence our Federal Bureau of Investigation has, the true identities of the seven people led by Angelina are spies, and they have been stealing government secrets."
"Therefore, I have the right to arrest them!"
After having his subordinates take the people away, Lynn Hall smiled at the consul who was glaring at him: "You don't need to thank me for saving your lives."
"Of course, if you're willing to write a thank you letter, I'd be happy to accept it."
"By the way, that Boris · Aleksey guy really messed up your consulate, so I suggest, for the sake of the Mao Bear country's face, you'd better send someone to clean it up!"
After speaking, Lynn led his team away.
"F*ck!"
Watching Lynn's departing back, the consul cursed angrily.
He had just felt a little ashamed for having made things difficult for him regarding the file.
Now it seems that he was right; the U.S. official organizations truly have no good people!
Inside the car.
"Haha, Boss, I just saw that consul's face turn green."
Back in the car, Sean laughed as he described the consul's expression.
He had already heard from Alice about the Boss going to see the consul and being given a file with only a name and photo.
So when he saw the consul's expression as if he had eaten shit, Sean felt particularly pleased.
Lynn also chuckled, watching Sean laugh: "How's Alicedoing?"
"Boss, Alice has already taken people to the city hall for arrests, and at the same time, the brothers from the bureau's action team are also making arrests according to the list."
"We estimate that in at most half an hour, we'll be able to arrest all those damn spies."
Lynn Hall nodded slightly at Sean's answer.
Leaning back in the car with his eyes closed, Lynngradually relaxed.
He didn't expect that the Iron Curtain, which carried the nuclear bomb this time, would actually uncover more than thirty spies.
This should be the largest spy case cracked this year, right?
Back at the Federal Bureau of Investigation building, the Agents who had gone out to perform arrests were also rushing back.
These people were professionals, so there was no need to worry about those spies committing suicide after their identities were exposed.
However, speaking of this, Lynn Hall suddenly remembered that hiding cyanide and other deadly poisons in one's teeth and biting them to commit suicide when one's identity is revealed seems to be a HYDRAtradition!
After all the spies were arrested, Lynn once again went to James Duke's office.
"Director, all thirty-six spies have been apprehended."
"Well done!"
Hearing Lynn's report, James Duke satisfactorily handed Lynn a cigar and said, "Select another 16 criminals from the New York prison who have sentences of several hundred years."
"Anyway, they'll never get out in this lifetime, so we might as well just make it fifty-two spies on the list!"
"Understood!"
Hearing James Duke's instruction, Lynn nodded with a smile.
Who exactly was a spy, of course, was decided by them.
When the press conference was held, the New York Federal Bureau of Investigation cracking 52 spies at once would be more shocking than 36 spies.
"Oh, right, tomorrow you'll come with me to Washington. Such a big matter, of course, needs to be reported to the headquarters and the Department of Justice."
"And while we're at it, we'll hold a press conference at headquarters, and this time you'll be the one to explain the case to the reporters!"
Lynn nodded when he heard James Duke say that.
Lynn was very willing to be in the spotlight!
Inside the Department of Justice conference room.
"In the previous Felton Family cannibalism case, Lynn Hall uncovered more than two hundred cannibals hidden in the country."
"This matter caused a huge stir, and the President also wanted to award him an Medal of Honor for Lynn Hall's outstanding contributions, but the result was ruined by some people who hadn't even received a medal themselves."
Tapping his finger lightly on the table, the Deputy Attorney General glanced at Matthew Davis, whose expression was somewhat unpleasant, and said, "I know what some people's intentions were when they did that."
"Isn't it just that his nephew also serves as an Assistant Supervisor at the New York Federal Bureau of Investigation? Once Lynn Hall receives the Medal of Honor, then the Supervisor position won't be available to his nephew."
"But what was the result? Someone's nephew was unpromising, not only bankrupting a business family through underhanded means, but also occupying their Villa, and even not letting go of their girlfriend."
"Tsk tsk... The result was that he forced them to a dead end, leading to a mutual destruction."
"Enough!"
Listening to the Deputy Attorney General's sarcasm, Matthew Davis slammed the table directly and said, "Laurent, you don't need to be so sarcastic here."
"The reason I did that at the time was because Lynn Hallwas too young. He was only 24 years old. If he made a mistake after receiving the Presidential Medal of Honor, wouldn't it make the entire Federal Bureau of Investigation a laughingstock?"
"If you have any dissatisfaction, you can certainly bring it up to the Justice Minister!"
"Heh!"
Hearing Matthew Davis's righteous tone, Laurent Conleychuckled: "Yes, for the sake of the Federal Bureau of Investigation's reputation, you, the Deputy Justice Minister, have truly worried yourself sick."
"Unfortunately, the young man you worried would make the Federal Bureau of Investigation a laughingstock successfully took the Supervisor position, and then once again cracked a large-scale spy case, even directly uprooting the Mao Bear spy organization, with all fifty-two spies arrested."
"And the nephew, on whom someone placed high hopes, was instead...heh."
Facing Laurent Conley's sarcastic tone, Matthew Davisangrily slammed the table repeatedly.
Seeing this, Justice Minister Jeff Russell smiled and interrupted their argument: "Alright, alright, this meeting isn't for listening to you two argue."
"Let's discuss Lynn Hall's reward."
"What's there to discuss?"
Hearing the Justice Minister's words, Laurent Conley said, "Justice Minister, Lynn Hall's past record has already proven that his loyalty is beyond doubt."
"And the Felton Family cannibalism case, as well as the Mao Bear spy organization case, have proven his outstanding ability."
"Furthermore, the Deputy Director of the New York Federal Bureau of Investigation died in Los Angeles, so I suggest that Lynn Hall temporarily serve as the Deputy Director."
Hearing Laurent Conley's proposal, Matthew Davisimmediately retorted, "I object. I admit that Lynn Hall's ability is excellent, but he is too young after all."
"What's wrong with being young? Who says young people can't bear heavy responsibilities? Don't forget Captain America back then—"
"Is wartime the same as peacetime? And even Captain America went through layers of selection and testing!"
"Isn't Lynn Hall the same? Do you think he became a Supervisor without going through tests?"
Watching the two argue again, Jeff Russell waved his hand, signaling them to stop.
After the two stopped arguing, Jeff Russell spoke: "Laurent is right, but Matthew is also right."
"Lynn Hall's ability is indeed outstanding, but we also need to consider his age."
Tapping lightly on the table, Jeff Russell said, "How about this, the position of Deputy Director of the New York Federal Bureau of Investigation will remain temporarily vacant, but Lynn Hall's commendations cannot be less."
"Therefore, I propose that Lynn Hall receive this year's Medal of Honor awarded by the President, and also receive the Congressional Gold Medal."
"I approve!"
As soon as Jeff Russell finished speaking, Laurent immediately expressed his approval.
As for Matthew Davis, sitting opposite him, he thought for a few seconds, then pinched his nose and accepted it!
Seeing that neither of them objected, the others in the conference room naturally also expressed their approval.
After seeing everyone agree, Jeff Russell stood up and said, "Since no one objects, then this matter is settled."
"Tomorrow, James Duke will bring Lynn Hall to Washington, so Lawrence, you go and communicate with Congress, and I will go to meet the President!"
After speaking, Jeff Russell left the conference room.
After the meeting ended, Laurent Conley glanced at Matthew Davis, then smiled and left the conference room.
He never intended for Lynn Hall to become the Deputy Director of the New York Federal Bureau of Investigationright now.
The reason for his proposal was simply to suggest tearing down the roof before opening a window.
After all, if everyone disagreed with tearing down the roof, then opening a window would be much simpler.
Watching Laurent leave, Matthew Davis snorted coldly.
Matthew Davis actually had no dissatisfaction with Lynn Hall.
And even his own nephew, Kenny Davis, had praised Lynn's ability to him more than once.
He had even said at the time that once he became a Supervisor, he would definitely try to win over Lynn Hall.
But now, his nephew was dead.
Thinking of this, Matthew Davis looked thoughtfully at Laurent's departing back.
Laurent's actions were very likely due to his appreciation of Lynn Hall's abilities, wanting to accumulate support for him for things in a few years.
Since that was the case, why couldn't he do the same?
After all, he had no animosity with Lynn Hall, and Kenny's death had nothing to do with him.
Moreover, he was the Deputy Justice Minister!
Thinking of this, Matthew Davis chuckled, then stood up and left the conference room.
He really wanted to see the exasperated look on that damn Laurent's face when Lynn Hall was brought into his own camp.
New York Federal Bureau of Investigation.
Looking at the text message on his phone, James Dukesmiled at Lynn: "It's done. Tomorrow, after you and I go to Washington, the President will personally award you the Medal of Honor."
"At the same time, you will also receive the Congressional Gold Medal."
Hearing James Duke say this, Lynn asked curiously, "Director, have our people made their move?"
Facing Lynn's quiet question, James Duke smiled and shook his head: "He's not really 'our' person; he's just benefited a lot from our organization over the years!"
"But there are indeed our people around the President!"
The news of the Mao Bear soldier piloting a nuclear-armed fighter jet to defect to the United States was still making waves.
As a result, the news of the New York Federal Bureau of Investigation successfully dismantling the Mao Bear spy organization and arresting 52 spies once again caused a huge sensation across America.
When the name Lynn Hall once again entered the public's sight through the media.
Almost everyone in America knew that the national hero who had previously dismantled the cannibal organization had once again made an outstanding contribution to the security of this country!
"Oh my God, fifty-two Mao Bear spies? This is simply insane!"
"Fortunately, we have Lynn Hall. God bless America!"
"Are those CIA guys idiots? They can't even find so many spies?"
"FUXX! A government that only knows how to collect taxes, FUXX! Stupid President, thankfully we still have Lynn!"
"The Big Bear has spies, but we have Lynn!"
Through the fermentation of major news stations and the internet, overnight, all of America knew that Lynn Hallwould receive an honorary medal personally awarded by the President in Washington today.
Many local residents in Washington spontaneously took to the streets to cheer for Lynn Hall, this hero.
Even outside the White House, it was packed with enthusiastic citizens.
Seeing the public's enthusiasm, the President, uncharacteristically, directly ordered the award ceremony and interview to be held on the White House lawn.
Not only that, he also ordered that the public be allowed to participate.
The President's impromptu decision gave the Secret Service a headache.
But facing the President's "people-friendly" request, the Secret Service could only raise security measures to the highest level.
Inside the White House.
Listening to the Department of Justice explain the process, and even thoughtfully preparing a speech for him.
Lynn Hall appeared very excited on the surface, but inwardly, he curled his lips.
What a load of rubbish, this honorary medal, just a bunch of empty gestures. Who the hell wants to be a hero of the United States?
Instead of this medal, it would be more practical to just give him dozens of times more bonus money.
After dealing with the Department of Justice, Lynnsurveyed the White House, subconsciously looking for weak points he could invade.
After all, Lynn had always had a dream in his heart: to assemble a beautiful female army to flatten the White House, capture the President alive, and dissolve the U.S. Federal government!
While he was constantly lost in thought, a middle-aged man pushed open the door of the lounge and walked in.
"Lynn Hall!"
Smiling, he came before Lynn, and the middle-aged man nodded in satisfaction: "Not bad, at such a young age, you've cracked such a major case. Truly worthy of being America's hero!"
Looking at the person who appeared before him, Lynn Hall stood up and said: "Thank you for your praise, Director Davis, I just did what was within my duties!"
This middle-aged man in front of him was Matthew Davis, the uncle of Kenny Davis, whom he had framed and killed.
It was just that Lynn was not clear what this guy's purpose was for seeking him out.
"Haha, you are too modest, Lynn. I've seen your file, it's very good. Keep up the hard work, I have high hopes for you to become the Deputy Director!"
Saying that, he even patted Lynn's shoulder affectionately, like an elder.
If it were someone else, being favored by a big shot who managed their department, and being offered a pie in the sky, they would probably be overjoyed already. But Lynnonly felt a wave of disgust.
That's it?
Who can't promise something? If he wants to recruit him, he needs to show some real benefits!
And for something already in his pocket, how could it be his turn to promise?
After a few friendly words with Lynn, Matthew Davis left the lounge.
"Boss, this is already the fifth group of people. Does this prove that you are now valued by the higher-ups?"
Helping Lynn straighten his suit, Barbara smiled and said: "The Director of the headquarters, Jessica's Deputy Director father, the Justice Minister, the Deputy Attorney General, plus this one."
"I always feel that you are about to be promoted again, Boss!"
Hearing Barbara's words, Lynn smiled without a sound.
Barbara didn't know that there were many factions within the Federal Bureau of Investigation headquarters and the Department of Justice!
"By the way, have Uncle George and Aunt Helen, and Gwen, all arrived?"
Facing Lynn's question, Barbara smiled and said: "They have all arrived. You are receiving an honorary medal personally awarded by the President today. For such a grand ceremony, family members are naturally also invited."
"I heard that the Deputy Director of the Secret Service personally went to New York to invite your family to attend the ceremony."
"However, since you have to recite a speech, they didn't come to disturb you."
Hearing Barbara say that, Lynn nodded.
Perhaps Gwen was incredibly happy at this moment.
Half an hour later.
The President stood on the makeshift podium on the lawn, facing hundreds of media reporters and over two thousand enthusiastic citizens below, giving an impassioned speech.
Below, Gwen sat beside Lynn, her palm sweaty as she held his hand.
"So nervous?"
Looking at Gwen's happy and excited expression, Lynnwas quite calm and composed.
It seemed he didn't take any of this to heart at all.
"Of course! Oh my goodness, that's an honorary medal personally awarded by the President! Dad said this is different from the Medal of Freedom; not just anyone can get it!"
Expressing her excited emotions in a low voice, Gwenwas truly happy for Lynn.
Uncle George, beside them, looked at Lynn with eyes full of relief.
This was the child he and Helen had personally raised since he was six years old!
On the podium.
"In combat with the enemy, Lynn Hall showed extraordinary fearlessness, risking his life. He solved one major and heinous case after another, and also crushed the Big Bear's conspiracy."
"He represents the great spirit of courage, justice, and fearlessness of our America."
At this point, the President made an inviting gesture towards Lynn Hall below the stage: "Please welcome our national hero, Lynn Hall!"
Hearing the President's words, all the cameras were now aimed at Lynn Hall.
And the crowd behind the media erupted in extremely enthusiastic cheers.
After hugging Gwen, who was so excited she almost cried, Lynn then hugged Aunt Helen and Uncle George, who were already in tears.
"Go, my child, you deserve this. I am truly proud of you!"
Patting Lynn's back hard, Uncle George's voice was filled with excited trembling.
At this moment, he felt proud and honored to have a child like Lynn!
At the same time, inside S.H.I.E.L.D.
"This is the young man you've always wanted to recruit?"
Watching him walk onto the stage and receive the medal personally from the President, Alexander Pierce smiled at Nick Fury: "It seems your recruitment plan is going to fall through now!"
Hearing Pierce's words, Nick Fury stared at Lynn on the television, then said: "It is indeed a bit regrettable, he is truly very suitable for S.H.I.E.L.D."
"Enough of that, Pierce, I want to talk to you about the World Security Council's budget for this quarter."
"Thank you for everything you've done for this country!"
After awarding Lynn the honorary medal, the Presidentshook hands with Lynn, then handed the microphone to Lynn.
Inside the detention room in Morocco.
Watching Lynn Hall's spirited speech on the television, with the President on stage and officials below applauding him, and even the citizens spontaneously cheering for him.
Ivan Vanko suddenly said: "Tony Stark, did you intentionally have the Guard tune the TV to this channel just to watch his speech?"
"That's right."
Hearing Ivan Vanko's question, Tony Stark shrugged: "Is something wrong?"
"Nothing wrong, after all, people who are about to enter the grave, after a period of reckless abandon, always want to take some beautiful memories with them into the cold coffin."
"What do you mean?"
Hearing Ivan Vanko's words, Tony Stark spread his hands and said: "You'd better be clear, the one who's been caught and brought in now is you, not me."
"I think there must be some prisoners in the Moroccan prison who would like your type."
"But don't say, Lynn and I seem to be very compatible. He destroyed the Big Bear's spy organization, and I captured a Big Bear fugitive who wanted to attack me."
"I think the people in this prison will definitely be grateful to me for sending them a 'partner'."
Facing Tony Stark's sharp tongue, Ivan Vanko didn't care: "Are you still subconsciously hoping he can save you?"
"But I think you're going to be disappointed this time. Lynn Hall could save you from the Middle East Desert, and help you defeat your uncle on the streets of New York."
"But this time, you're dead!"
At this point, Ivan Vanko stared into Tony Stark's eyes: "The feeling of palladium poisoning must be very uncomfortable!"
Tony Stark, who had been somewhat playful and sharp-tongued, instantly became serious when he heard Ivan Vanko mention palladium poisoning.
"How did you know?"
"Heh, of course I know, Tony, you're not the only genius in this World."
Sitting on the ground, leaning his body against the wall of the detention room, Ivan Vanko stared into Tony's eyes and said word by word: "This is just the appetizer, Tony Stark."
"I will slowly make you lose everything, and take back everything your Stark family owes our family!"
Hearing Ivan Vanko's words, Tony frowned, wanting to question him.
But seeing the guy close his eyes and say nothing more, Tony Stark had no choice but to stand up and say: "Although I don't know what you're talking about, you want to take what belongs to me? You'll have to get out of this prison first."
With that, Tony directly left the detention room.
Outside.
"Tony."
"Don't worry, I'm fine, just met a lunatic."
Shrugging at Pepper, Tony Stark suddenly said: "Pepper, if I take a plane to Washington now, can I still make it?"
"You can make it to the dinner, after all, according to tradition, whenever someone receives an honorary medal or a Medal of Freedom, they attend a White Housedinner."
"Then forget it."
Hearing Pepper say that, Tony walked and said: "I don't like facing the ugly faces of those politicians, oh my god, just thinking about their fake smiles makes me want to vomit."
"By the way, did you keep an eye on Anne Hathaway's schedule as I asked?"
"Tony!"
"I said, that's what I promised Lynn. As for whether he can get to taste this actress known as the Princess of New York, that depends on his own ability."
Walking and discussing how to be Lynn's wingman, Tony Stark seemed to not take Ivan Vanko's attack to heart.
However, when he returned to New York and lifted his shirt in front of the mirror.
Seeing the blood vessels around the Arc Reactor on his chest all swollen and blackish-purple, Tony Stark's expression was a little dim.
"Jarvis, how much longer do you think I have to live?"
Hearing Tony's question, Jarvis replied: "Sir, I don't think things are at their worst yet. Perhaps we can find other ways."
"Also, we could try a different vegetable juice. I know there's a plant whose chlorophyll can…"
