The plan was to go to Kamar-Taj tomorrow, but in the end I didn't make it.
Because he received a call the next morning.
This forced him to cancel his temporary plan and drive his black bike to another place.
This is an open-air cafe.
When Xia Zhiye came over, he saw Little Lajiao sitting there, looking into the distance with a puzzled look on his face.
"Sorry, I'm late."
Xia Zhiye sat opposite her.
"I came early." When Little Lajiao saw Xia Zhiye, she put away her previous expression and smiled.
After ordering a cup of coffee, Xia Zhiye asked, "Why did you suddenly ask me out? Is your relationship with Tony not going well? Have you been wronged? Don't worry, tell me and I'll take care of him."
"No… "
Little Pepper shook her head, as if she didn't know what to say.
After hesitating for a while, he said, "In fact, I think he has a knot in his heart. He seems a little nervous. I don't know when it started. He just told me yesterday. He can't sleep at night. He can't fall asleep for nights."
"middle age crisis?"
Summer Night blurted out.
"… "
Little Chili just looked at him with a puzzled expression.
"Ahem..." Xia Zhiye waved his hand: "Forget what I just said."
"I think he's a little nervous. He even called out to his armor in his dream last night."
Pepper said: "This is very dangerous. He is having some very insecure dreams. You know, I can't tell others about this kind of thing. He is not the kind of person who can open his heart to anyone."
"Men always like to keep their thoughts to themselves."
Xia Zhiye nodded: "I can imagine."
"Are you that kind of person too?" Little Lajiao glanced at Xia Zhiye with disbelief in her eyes.
“… I always feel that I’ve been looked down upon for no apparent reason.” Xia Zhiye said, “We did a lot of things together some time ago, but I didn’t realize that he had such a heavy heart.”
"He always tries to hide himself." Little Pepper said, "Let alone you, even if I sleep in the same bed with him every day, I wouldn't notice it, right?"
Xia Zhiye nodded: "What do you want me to do?"
"Please help me persuade him."
Pepper said, "He listens to you very much."
"I didn't notice that." Xia Zhiye was a little surprised.
"I said, he's used to hiding himself. But he's very different towards you." After saying this, Little Pepper quickly explained, "I mean, he admires you very much."
“… This joke is very creative.”
"It's true." Little Pepper said, "Although he never said these words out loud, he actually began to admire you since he was a child."
"Wow, what did I hear?" Xia Zhiye's eyes widened: "Your words simply refreshed my three perspectives."
"… I'm talking to you very seriously." Pepper sighed deeply: "So, I think maybe you can help him. You know, the pressure from the outside world and the imminent crisis, this series of things will make him nervous."
"I can understand that." Xia Zhiye looked at the time and said, "He should be home at this time, right?"
"Yeah." Little Pepper nodded.
"Okay then. I'll go right away." Xia Zhiye stood up and was about to leave when his cell phone suddenly rang.
I picked it up and took a look. It was an encrypted email from Natasha.
"What's up?"
Pepper said: "It doesn't matter. Tony's problem cannot be solved in a short time. As long as you are free in the next two days, you can go and take a look."
"It seems I haven't been paying much attention to the news lately."
Xia Zhiye turned the phone around, and suddenly Tony's face appeared on it: "News headline, this kid's temper has been getting worse lately."
"Oh my god, what happened?"
"Explosion." Xia Zhiye said, "Last night, it involved Tony's former big bodyguard."
"Happy?"
Little Pepper was startled and stood up quickly: "What's going on?"
"I don't know the specific details." Xia Zhiye said, "The general content is that Happy was involved in an explosion. And this explosion is related to a guy named 'Mandarin' who appeared in the news recently. Tony looked very angry and provoked this 'Mandarin' in front of the reporters. I feel that he really needs someone to comfort him now, but for now it's not me, but you... I'm afraid I will be there later."
"OK."
Little Pepper packed up her things and got up to say goodbye.
After Xia Zhiye paid for the coffee, he drove his black car back home, stepped onto the teleportation array and appeared in the "small base".
The base of the Caspian Camp is a large base. After the relevant work was officially started, this underground base of the Austen Group was called a "small base", which was usually used as a place for small groups to hold meetings.
As soon as he came over, Natasha appeared in front of him holding a pile of information.
"There were nine explosions in total."
Natasha came over and said, "Including the one last night, it's ten times in total. The guy called 'Mandarin' released the video and said he was willing to take responsibility for it."
Xia Zhiye took the information and heard Natasha say, "At first we just thought it was an ordinary terrorist attack, but later I found something interesting."
"For example, some explosions were not caused by this 'Mandarin', but he is still responsible for them?"
Xia Zhiye glanced at the information and said, "For example, no explosives have been found in the explosion last night. However, the temperature reached 3,000 degrees at the moment of the explosion. Similar explosions may not cause such high temperatures."
Natasha nodded. "So I did another summary and information screening. The same explosion happened in Tennessee. The temperature was still 3,000 degrees, and no bomb was found. Compared to the chaos last night, the explosion in Tennessee even resulted in one person missing."
"Maybe he was missing last night, too."
Xia Zhiye said: "It's just that there are too many people to count. What's worse, some people don't want to let others know that they have been here."
"Hearing what you said, do you already know what's going on?"
Natasha was stunned.
Xia Zhiye glanced at her and said, "Someone is covering up the truth! Their purpose is unspeakable."
"… It is clear."
Natasha blinked.
"And now, Tony's provocation is likely to cause the other party to reveal his true intentions." Xia Zhiye stood up and said, "Let Fury help. I need to monitor the air units on Malibu Beach."
"No one would dare to attack him, right?"
Natasha was a little shocked.
"Believe me, there are far more crazy people in this world than normal people." (To be continued)
