Chapter 41: Deduction
Today, Lan Xingyu, Tony, and Happy were playing in the training room. That's right, in Lan Xingyu's eyes, watching Tony and Happy work out was just playing!
Seeing the look of disdain in Lan Xingyu's eyes, Happy felt like he was losing Face, so he said to Lan Xingyu, "Xingyu, do you want to also come and try sparring? You cannot use magic, this is combat practice!" Happy said, feigning arrogance.
Tony was also interested when he heard this. He only knew that Lan Xingyu's magic and his abilities were very powerful, but he didn't know how his combat skills were. Maybe he could find a weakness in Lan Xingyu.
"And you cannot use your abilities! How about it? Dare you?" Tony also used a provocation tactic.
Looking at the two guys who were deliberately picking a fight, a thought occurred to Lan Xingyu. Isn't this a good opportunity to get back at Tony? Thinking of this, Lan Xingyu said, "Are you challenging me?"
Before Tony could say anything else, Lan Xingyu decisively said, "I accept your challenge."
Lan Xingyu pretended to be weak as he climbed up from the side of the ring, and then with his hands in his pockets, he said to the two of them, "Come on, but let's make it clear first: the loser has to agree to some requests from the winner. Since it's a challenge, there has to be a prize."
"No problem!" Tony and the other responded simultaneously, and then they both attacked Lan Xingyu.
One could see Tony and Happy using all kinds of attack methods, unleashing a frantic output.
The result? It was nothing more than a fierce operation, but a 0-5 record. All their attacks were easily avoided by Lan Xingyu with a few sidesteps and two or three small jumps.
Watching them look like they really wanted to hit him but just couldn't, Lan Xingyu found it funny. He didn't want to tease them anymore, so he jumped, appeared instantly between their heads, and then kicked each of them in the Face, sending them to the side. However, Lan Xingyu controlled his strength well; it looked painful, and it actually was painful, but it didn't damage their bones or brains.
Then, with a cool landing, he added, "So slow."
Tony was depressed. Just in that instant, Lan Xingyu's Physical Body speed was so fast that neither he nor Happy could react before being kicked away. This gave Tony a sense of frustration.
"You guys aren't good enough! Too weak. Since I have time today, let me train you! Hehehe..." Lan Xingyu finished with a series of sinister laughs.
"No way..." Tony and Happy cried out in despair. Just then, a voice that sounded like heaven to them rang out.
"The notary is here, please sign the transfer documents." Pepper's voice came from the doorway.
"Oh! Good! Coming right away! Thank you so much, Pepper Potts, you came just in time. I think we need a halftime break." Tony held onto the railing nearby and said, somewhat excitedly.
Just as Tony was preparing to climb over the railing, a sexy figure walked in.
This was a woman who exuded attraction to men from head to toe; every move she made seemed to be seducing you. That's right, she was the popular female character from Marvel, Black Widow, Natasha Romanoff.
At this moment, she walked over with graceful steps, immediately attracting the gaze of every man present.
Uh... except for Lan Xingyu. He was still a boy... not yet a man... a lingering regret from Lan Xingyu...
Tony was so focused on Natasha, who had just walked in, that he almost had an intimate encounter with the floor.
Pepper saw this scene and felt a bit jealous, immediately changing the subject: "I promise you this is the only time, please transfer the company to me."
The Black Widow didn't care about the gazes of those two male creatures; she naturally walked to Pepper's side and told her where she needed to sign.
Tony, who had come down, went to Natasha's side and asked, "What is your name? Young Miss."
"Rushman, Natasha Rushman." Natasha said.
"Do you want to go up and spar? We have a very powerful coach." Tony wanted to divert Natasha for a moment.
"Don't do that, you don't really want to..." Pepper Potts wasn't sure what Tony was trying to do.
"The judge decides." Tony said.
"No problem!" Black Widow said and walked toward the ring.
"Sorry, he's a weirdo." Pepper Potts smoothed things over for Tony.
Lan Xingyu saw this and ran to the side of the ring. He remembered that this was when Happy was about to be killed in one move by Black Widow. Thinking about it, Lan Xingyu was looking forward to it. That'll teach you to team up with Tony against me earlier, humph!
As Natasha entered the boxing ring with a charming and seductive move, Tony was asking Pepper Potts about Natasha's background while starting to Search for information about Natasha on the internet.
"Wow! She is truly excellent." Tony exclaimed.
Ignoring Tony's gossip, Lan Xingyu had already taken out a pair of oversized, non-prescription glasses and put them on his head. That's right, he was about to cause some trouble.
Happy saw that the beautiful woman in front of him was focused on Tony, so he wanted to show off to this beauty so she would remember him.
"Rule number one, never take your eyes off your opponent." After saying that, he threw a punch, aiming for Black Widow's Face, and then...
Black Widow caught it with one hand, then twisted, followed by a flip, lifting her legs high to directly clamp Happy's head, and continued to flip. Happy KO'd. Without a single suspense.
Seeing this scene, both Tony and Pepper were startled and stood up.
"My god! Happy!" This was Pepper Potts.
"She completely meets my requirements!" This was Tony.
Just when everyone was surprised, a pretentious voice rang out. Strangely, they seemed to hear some BGM...
"This lady, you seem quite extraordinary!" Lan Xingyu, with his hands in his pockets, bowed his head slightly, and the oversized glasses on his Face just happened to reflect white light.
This sentence immediately attracted everyone's attention.
"This lady, your body has been through cruel training, right? I can feel it. And the move you just used against Happy was completely instinctive, which shows you've undergone strict combat training. Plus, looking at the Killing Intent you've been trying to hide but can never fully conceal, you've killed people too." As he said this, Lan Xingyu walked slowly toward Natasha, giving everyone time to react.
"Having undergone near-cruel combat training, you couldn't be a female soldier, and having killed people, you must be either an assassin or an Agent." Hearing this, Happy immediately blocked Tony and Pepper Potts.
"The internet has a detailed record of your past, and that's not something an assassin could do, which means you're an Agent. And the only ones who would come to Stark Industries at this time are the military and S.H.I.E.L.D." Lan Xingyu continued, dropping bombshells.
"If it were the military, they would prioritize solving the energy problem that limits their mecha research. That is, they should prioritize entering the Energy Department. But you come from the Legal Department, and coupled with the fact that you've been intentionally or unintentionally trying to get Tony's attention since you walked in, it means you're from S.H.I.E.L.D. and your mission target is Tony."
"But you didn't attack Tony in such a good situation just now, which means your mission isn't to kill Tony. Since you don't need to kill Tony but need to be by his side, your mission must be to observe Tony." Natasha was beyond shocked now. But Lan Xingyu didn't want to let her off.
"Since you're here to observe Tony, it means there's something about Tony that S.H.I.E.L.D. needs to pay attention to. If it were the reactor, you should have come months ago, and since you've only come now, it must be to observe the palladium poisoning that will kill Tony, right?" At this point, Pepper Potts couldn't stay calm and seemed to understand a lot of things instantly.
She immediately grabbed Tony's collar and interrogated him: "Is this why you donated all your collections? Is this why you want to give the company to me! You're dying, but you didn't tell me. And then you leave things to me! What do you take me for!" Pepper was very Life Qi. Tony didn't tell her about such a big thing. Did he want her to find out late and regret it for the rest of her life?
Seeing Pepper, who was already anxious and crying, Tony was in a flurry. Finally, he said that Lan Xingyu's magic could solve the problem, which calmed Pepper Potts down. But Lan Xingyu's wave of deduction, read as showing off, wasn't over yet.
"Then the question arises: how would S.H.I.E.L.D. know about the palladium poisoning? There is only one possibility: S.H.I.E.L.D. also has reactor technology, but it can't be miniaturized yet. But there are only two people who hold the reactor patent: one is Tony, and the other is Tony's father." Hearing this, even Tony couldn't stay calm, but he held back and didn't interrupt Lan Xingyu's deduction.
"With Tony's father's ability, you couldn't have snatched it; it must have been given to you by Tony's father. So why would Tony's father give it to you? There is only one explanation: Tony's father might also be a member of S.H.I.E.L.D. And with his ability and knowledge, he should be a high-ranking member of S.H.I.E.L.D. And since you came to find Tony but didn't directly help him, it means you can't completely solve the palladium poisoning either. But you still came to find Tony, which means you think Tony can solve it. But why? If I haven't deduced it wrongly, there is only one truth!" Lan Xingyu paused to catch his breath.
"The truth is that Tony's father left something for Tony, and that thing you couldn't crack, but Tony, as his son and a Genius, must have a way. If I'm not mistaken, you guys planned to step in when Tony was about to die, give him the thing, and buy a favor. You could also let the technology left behind by Howard Stark reappear, and you only need to be the transporters. Am I right?" Lan Xingyu said confidently.
This was Lan Xingyu's deduction. Knowing the result and the process, he just needed to reverse it to deduce it. Hahaha, knowing the plot really allows you to do whatever you want.
At this moment, Black Widow was stunned. "I just had a fight, and you deduced my entire mission and the subsequent relationships. Are you even human?"
Tony and the others were even more surprised. This move by Lan Xingyu directly collapsed the image of Lan Xingyu they had in their minds. "How could a guy who stays at home every day and doesn't like to study suddenly start analyzing things? How are we supposed to handle this..."
Regardless of what they thought, Lan Xingyu was feeling extremely good right now. Finally, he had said Conan's famous line. "Now let's see who says I only know how to use brute force. This deduction of mine is going to blow their minds. Humph! Tsundere Face JPG."
"I will not abandon the memories of the past with you, even if the person who denies it is the current you. Writing is not easy, everyone please leave a recommendation ticket before you go. As for the Erha, I plan to test my limit for daily updates, so let's play. For every 100 recommendation tickets accumulated, I will update one more chapter; for every 1000 Qidian coins of tips accumulated, I will also update one more chapter. This will continue until next Wednesday. Well, that's it! It's my first time doing this, so I don't dare to do it for too long."
