Chapter 134 Hell is empty, the devil is in the world
"No." Betty Ross said hurriedly: "Master Osborne, you misunderstood. I'm not asking you this question, but..."
"Save my mother."
"Bao Da."
"No money."
"I have something to do tomorrow."
"No date."
Bai Ye answered impatiently and then left.
He was busy going to Polar Bear and in a hurry, so he couldn't think of arguing with Betty Ross.
Perhaps he had indeed put the hunt for Betty Ross on his agenda before, but compared to the Ark Reactor, what was a woman?
Still have to lean back.
Bai Ye took Qiu Gangao and the four of them and left, leaving Betty Ross in a daze. After a while, she said to herself in frustration:
"I'm really confused. How can I expect a playboy to know about Maya Hansen? He probably can't even read financial statements. I'd better find a way to ask Andy, the CEO of AIM."
While Betty Ross was still planning how to inquire about Maya Hansen, Baiye and the others had already boarded a private plane headed for Polar Bear.
…
New York, Queens, Flushing.
In Manhattan, there is the historic Chinatown, where statues of Confucius and Lin Zexu stand, becoming a corridor displaying Chinese culture and economy. It is known as "New York's First Chinatown." However, now Flushing has caught up from behind and has gathered more Chinese than Manhattan's Chinatown, forming a new Chinatown. The crown of "New York's No. 1 Chinatown" has fallen to Flushing.
The main street in Flushing is called Main Street. Almost all the shops on both sides of the street have signboards in Chinese and English. There are more than 60 Chinese restaurants of a certain size. Even the sidewalks are lined with stalls selling Chinese products, such as plastic slippers, baby clothes, cloth hats, socks, etc. from China. The vendors are shouting in standard Mandarin. With Main Street as the main trunk, countless Chinese restaurants, hotels, shops, and supermarkets are dotted in the small streets and alleys on both sides.
Skye came down from a residential building and went to a breakfast shop as usual, packing two portions of sweet and sour spicy red oil snacks. After just paying, Skye smiled with satisfaction and was ready to go home for a full meal. Suddenly, with a "boom", a big explosion suddenly occurred behind her.
"I bought it!"
The residents were very familiar with finding bunkers and hiding, and the streets soon became sparsely populated.
Skye quickly looked back.
A look of astonishment.
If she read correctly, the source of the explosion seemed to be the room where she and her companions lived.
Skye stared at the window of the room where the flames were rolling out, and his mind went blank:
"Whatfuck!?"
So what happened?
Why is there a bomb in my room?
If he had come out a little later, would he have been blown to pieces on the spot?
"NYPD! NYPD!"
At some point, a group of New York City police officers with live ammunition came down from upstairs. They held police officer certificates and shouted to disperse the crowd. Her companion, the master who taught her hacking skills, had his face slapped like a pig's head. , was escorted downstairs in the same manner as serious criminals.
The NYPD police were already explaining to the public that they had received a secret tip that a well-known international terrorist, the "Rising Tide Organization" that conducts terrorist activities, was preparing to launch a terrorist attack in Flushing, and was then captured on the spot by the wise and powerful NYPD. The explosion just now , it was caused by this man triggering the bomb, and there are also terrorists on the loose. I hope everyone will pay attention to it and call 911 immediately if you find anything wrong.
"Bullshit!"
Skye couldn't help but curse. The Rising Tide Organization is not a terrorist. They are a group of public welfare organizations with the purpose of exposing the darkness of the United States. They were included in the terrorist list just because they often go against the American official. , this is simply ridiculous. You know, many of them are so poor that they can’t even afford food, but they still have to sacrifice themselves to help others and speak out for those who are bullied by the American powerful, the military, and Washington. Why in the end, those who do evil They represent justice, but these people who brought their own food to help the strong and the weak have become evil terrorists?
Hell is empty, the devil is in the world!
Moreover, Skye knew that he and others had not planned any violent terrorist attack at all, nor had they prepared any bombs at all.
So why did his room explode?
there is only one truth!
In order to frame him and others, the NYPD put a bomb in the room where he and others were staying and detonated it.
Only this makes sense.
Damn it!
The officials in New York are too shady. They are carrying out explosions in their own homes. Do they really have no regard for the safety of New Yorkers at all?
Skye's eyes were fixed on Master Miles.
Miles seemed to also see Skye in the crowd. He quickly gave Skye a wink and told him to leave quickly, and then immediately lowered his head.
Skye wanted to look again, but she saw keenly that behind her master Miles, a tall Chinese-looking man wearing sunglasses was looking around, as if looking for Miles' accomplices.
"Fuck!"
Skye cursed under his breath, then lowered his head, avoiding the eyes of the man in sunglasses.
She didn't dare to run at all, because judging from Skye's experience of being wanted for so many years, anyone who dared to go against the crowd at this time would definitely be caught.
"This is definitely not an action of the NYPD. The NYPD is just the one behind it. The force represented by the Chinese man in sunglasses is the mastermind behind this incident."
Skye's head was racing.
"Brother, did you find anything?"
Tian Yangyi asked from the side.
"No." Tian Yangsheng glanced around again, shook his head, and said, "Let's go somewhere."
Last night, under the torture of Tian Yangyi and Tian Yangsheng, Maya Hansen, a woman who had never suffered any physical pain, must not be able to bear it, so she said everything she could. , including various contact information and code words with the Rising Tide Organization.
After getting the contact information and code words of the Rising Tide Organization, Bai Ye and Becky worked together to lay bait for the Rising Tide Organization and captured most of the Rising Tide Organization's positions in New York. So, when Bai Ye left New York, Tian Yangsheng and others started taking action. .
Osborne's action team operates together with the NYPD. Anyway, the Rising Tide Organization is a recognized terrorist organization. If the NYPD can take some credit, of course they don't mind attacking Osborn's action team.
Well, I have to say that the Rising Tide Organization is really brave. In addition to causing trouble for the American officials, they have also been secretly tracking down the existence of SHIELD, intending to pull SHIELD out of the darkness and expose it to the public eye. , this is true courage.
Perhaps S.H.I.E.L.D. is unable to deal with some powerful extraordinary beings and aliens, but for ordinary people, and even the absolute majority of extraordinary beings, they are a behemoth that cannot be offended.
Rising Tide is a non-governmental organization that dares to keep causing trouble for SHIELD. It has not yet been eradicated by SHIELD. It must be said that their hacking skills are indeed outstanding.
…
Siberia.
The sun was a deep yellow and the rays were very mild.
Being far away from the light pollution and air pollution of the city, the sky here is exceptionally clear, showing an azure color.
A remote alley.
Ivan Vanko was wearing a thick leather coat, sunglasses, and a toothpick in his mouth, waiting for someone.
soon.
A man with a long tail and dressed like a gang member came to meet Ivan Vanko.
The man handed Ivan Vanko a thick stack of envelopes.
Ivan Vanke stretched out his hand and weighed it, with a slight smile on his lips. Then he reached into his pocket, took out a bag of envelope paper, and handed it to the man.
After the transaction party left, Ivan Vanke looked at the surrounding situation and left in a very low-key manner with his head lowered.
On the way home.
Ivan Vanke first went to the drugstore to buy some medicine, and then went to the supermarket to buy some vegetables and meat. Finally, after hesitating for a while, he went to the liquor store and bought two bottles of vodka.
His father doesn't have any special hobbies, he just likes to drink and is a complete alcoholic. In other words, there is no polar bear who is not an alcoholic. However, his father's disease is also very serious, and drinking may aggravate it...
But, the father and son have been in trouble for a long time. Today, they finally completed a transaction with the gang and got a sum of money. They have to make the father and son happy, eat and drink.
With a smile on his face, Ivan Vanke arrived at the door of his house with a full load of goods. Just looking at his house so close, he suddenly frowned and noticed an unusual smell.
It's so quiet.
In order to survive, Ivan Vanke collaborated with the gangs, and there were times when people came to seek revenge on Ivan Vanke.
He cautiously put down all the things in his hands and pulled out a spray gun from inside his thick leather jacket.
Ivan Vanke kicked open the door of his house with a "bang" kick, took the spray gun with the safety switch on, and looked for enemies everywhere.
After opening the door, he saw a young man who he knew was a young man from a wealthy family, curiously examining his various experimental equipment.
Although Ivan Vanke and his friends had poor living conditions, this small dwelling was filled with various scientific instruments.
It's not as advanced as the Stark Group's, but it's still barely usable.
"Who are you? Why did you show up at my house uninvited?"
Ivan Vanke shouted sharply and pointed the gun at Bai Ye.
One hand suddenly grabbed the barrel of Ivan Vanke's gun. Qiu Gangao exerted a slight force, and the high temperature like magma instantly burned Ivan Vanke's gun red.
Ivan Vanke was shocked, but reflexively threw away the hot gun that was about to turn into molten iron.
"Please don't get me wrong, Dr. Ivan Vanko, I don't mean any harm."
Bai Ye smiled slightly.
"There is no malice... haha!" Ivan Vanke sneered, glanced at his father Anthony Vanke who was lying on the bed unaware of his condition, and said: "Who are you? What do you want? I will promise you everything I can, As long as you don’t hurt my father.”
"I've said it all, don't get me wrong, I'm not the kind of gangster who kidnapped your father and asked you to help him with anything." Bai Ye said, took out a tube of red reagent, and said, "Let me show you first. Sincerity."
He walked over to Anthony Vanko.
"What do you want to do to my father?"
Ivan Vanke's expression changed suddenly, and he immediately wanted to step forward to stop Bai Ye's actions.
However, he was locked up by Qiu Gangao and could not move at all.
"No! If you have any means, use it on me! My father's organs are failing. If you mess around again, you will kill him!"
Ivan Vanke shouted anxiously.
But Bai Ye didn't listen at all. He directly stuck the needle of the test tube into Anthony Vanke's neck, pushed the medicine in the test tube and injected it.
Only about ten seconds passed.
Anthony Vanke coughed twice and woke up from his drowsiness. He immediately noticed the changes in his body, with confusion on his face: "Why doesn't my body hurt?"
Before, Anthony Vanke suffered from organ failure and was in pain all over his body. He never lived a comfortable day. He drank vodka. There is also a reason why drinking too much vodka can paralyze his nerves and relieve his pain.
"What was just injected into Mr. Anthony Vanke was not poison, but a special medicine belonging to the Osborne Group that only exists in the laboratory. It can effectively relieve Mr. Anthony Vanke's pain."
Bai Ye smiled faintly and said:
"Of course, it's impossible to cure the disease, but as long as you take regular injections, you can at least extend Mr. Anthony Vanke's life by 3 years. Well, it may sound like a small amount, but without effective treatment, Mr. Anthony Vanke will only be left with at most He has three months to live."
"Is there such a drug?" Ivan Vanke's eyes suddenly lit up: "Why have I never heard of it? I have hacked into the databases of major pharmaceutical companies in the world, including the Osborne Group, but I have never found anything similar. Drug."
"Because the most precious things of major pharmaceutical companies are not open to ordinary people."
Bai Ye shrugged:
"Of course you can't find anything."
"Can this medicine really save my father?" Ivan Vanke said calmly, "What price do I need to pay?"
Bai Ye glanced at the house. The house was made of concrete that was full of cracks, darkened over time, and was extremely crude. Steel and wood were scattered randomly, and no good furniture could be seen. Two tattered There was a bed, and there were no other daily necessities. The only source of light in the room was a shabby old TV.
Taking in all this, Bai Ye turned around and smiled:
"This special medicine costs 1 million US dollars per tube, and one tube must be injected regularly every month. Mr. Ivan Vanke, can you afford the price?"
Ivan Vanko was silent.
Not to mention 1 million US dollars a month, even if he earns a total of money in his life, it may not be 1 million US dollars.
"But if you put this medicine in front of me, it means you are willing to provide it for me, right?" Ivan Vanke was silent for a moment, then spread it out and said, "What exactly do you want me to do to save me?" Father? As long as you can tell it, I can definitely do it."
"Dr. Anthony Vanke, one of the inventors of the Ark Reactor. Your father's contribution to the Ark Reactor even exceeded that of Howard Stark. However, for some unknown reason, your father was replaced by Howard Stark. Stark was charged with espionage and expelled from the United States. After returning home, because the Soviet government did not pay attention to energy scientists and was rendered useless, he was exiled to Siberia until now. As a result, you have no less than Tony Stark's intelligent and genius son was also restrained by his original family and was reduced to hanging out with gangs to earn living expenses."
Bai Ye gets straight to the point:
"I came to you for no other reason than the Ark Reactor!"
When Anthony Vanke woke up, his mind was still a little confused, but when he heard "Ark Reactor", his color suddenly changed: "Absolutely! The Ark Reactor is my hard work! I will never hand it over to an outsider!"
"Mr. Anthony Vanke, I have seen countless sons who cheat on their fathers, but fathers who cheat on their sons are rare."
Bai Ye said speechlessly:
"Don't you think your son is pitiful? He is about the same age as Tony Stark, but Tony Stark has had superior living conditions since he was a child. He lives in a honeypot and receives the best education. , graduated from MIT, took over a military-industrial empire worth US$300 billion at a young age, and became a world-famous scientist. Every day he wakes up, he is surrounded by different beauties, and is on the cover of Playboy magazine. He has slept with almost all the girls.”
"And your son, Ivan Vanko, while Tony Stark is enjoying all this, he can only live with you, a bad old man, in a cold doghouse, and can only listen to your teachings. Could it be that Do you think you alone can match the education provided by MIT, the second most famous school in the world? And your son is very old and still doesn’t marry a wife. Is it because he doesn’t like it? Or do you want to Do you want your son to be comfortable living alone in the future?"
"So far, compared with Tony Stark, your son is like an inconspicuous pebble on the roadside. But in fact, your son's talent is not worse than Tony Stark at all. He just lacks an opportunity and an opportunity. The opportunity that can make him soar into the sky. And I can give him the opportunity to change everything. He can have his own luxurious villa, he can have his own yacht, he can have sex with a bunch of bikini girls every night, Tony Star Your son can have everything that Ke has! As long as you nod your head, I can offer it to you with both hands!"
"Dad, you don't need to say more! Your illness is the most important! Anyway, we have had the technology of the Ark Reactor for so many years, but we can't make a penny. We are still living like stray dogs! Even if we can The research has come to fruition without the support of big capital, and there is no way to monetize it. If I can use this to save you, it will be considered that the hard work that our father and son have invested in this for many years has not been in vain." Ivan Vanke, on the other hand, A completely filial son, he was not moved at all by what Bai Ye said, but Bai Ye could cure his father, which was enough for Ivan Vanke to compromise. He looked at Bai Ye: "I promise you, as long as you can Once my father is cured, I can hand over all the technology of the Ark Reactor to you."
