"Boss, are we just letting him go like that?"
On the way back to Building Eight, Li San looked a bit confused. In his opinion, they should have just killed that Agent and used him as a warning to others.
Li Chuan smiled:
"Let him go. There are many HYDRA Agents. If we kill one, who knows how many more will come after? It's better to let him take the message back to Garrett and disrupt his thinking."
The words he had just spoken did not explicitly mention HYDRA, nor did they break through that layer of pretense; there were only some subtle hints.
The purpose was to make Garrett suspicious and unable to figure out his true background, so that he would not dare to act rashly in a short period of time.
As for later, once his strength increased, even if Garrett didn't come looking for him, he would find Garrett and completely remove this hidden danger.
"So, what you just said about knowing Tony Stark, that was also a lie?"
Li San scratched his head.
Li Chuan laughed heartily:
"Not entirely. I don't know him now, but it will be different after a while. How is the investigation into Obadiah Stane coming along?"
"The intelligence team has been instructed to investigate, but it will probably take a few more days."
Seeing that they had arrived at the room door, Li San reported and then withdrew.
"It seems I still need to find a way to get the Mind Stone in the future, to enhance Wanda and Pietro's abilities."
Quietly lying back on the bed, Li Chuan secretly made up his mind.
Originally, he had been struggling with whether or not to use the Mind Stone to enhance Wanda and Pietro's abilities, because he felt Wanda preferred to live like a normal person.
But now it seems that in the dangerous Marvel World, having a certain ability to protect oneself is still very important.
Although he had been continuously increasing the level of protection for Wanda, anything could happen, and if something truly went wrong, he would regret it too late.
If Wanda and Pietro's abilities were enhanced by the Mind Stone, then at least cannon fodder like HYDRA would no longer be able to threaten them.
He didn't need Wanda and Pietro to help him fight; he just needed them to have some ability to protect themselves when encountering danger.
"Darling!"
As if sensing Li Chuan had returned to bed, Wanda murmured, and once again hugged him like an octopus.
"After dealing with this HYDRA Agent, I'm not sleepy anymore."
After all, he was a martial artist, with good physical strength, strong endurance, and recovery ability that ordinary people couldn't compare to. Seeing Wanda hugging him tightly, Li Chuan simply pulled the quilt over them, turning passive into active.
A moment later, one of Wanda's hands, exposed from under the quilt, suddenly gripped the bedsheet tightly.
At the same time, a staggering Grant, carrying a bag of bread and milk, left the interrogation room and returned to his Chevrolet in the parking lot.
Without hesitation, he floored the accelerator and sped away.
This infiltration mission was his most failed mission since becoming an Agent, especially since the other party even gave him milk and bread when he was leaving. It was simply a great humiliation.
"I didn't expect even you to fail. It seems Li Chuan has a lot of things hidden in the dark!"
Inside the HYDRA Base, Garrett looked at the bruised and injured Grant, a solemn expression on his face.
Grant was, so far, the most satisfactory and powerful Agent he had cultivated.
"He said he also knows Tony Stark. Could he have some connection with Nick Fury?"
Grant began to analyze.
"But the data shows they have never had any contact."
"Regardless of whether it's true or not, even if he knows him, it shouldn't have anything to do with Nick Fury. As far as I know, Nick Fury hasn't contacted Tony Stark yet.
Forget it, let's not touch him until we figure out his true background."
After a moment of thought, Garrett frowned and made a decision.
Analyzing Li Chuan's words, he was now unsure whether the other party truly knew his identity, or if they were just bluffing, and what other trump cards Li Chuan might be hiding.
The Great Strength Pill was indeed somewhat helpful for his Death Soldier plan, but it wasn't that particularly important, so it could be put aside for now.
Moreover, he was also trying to find a way to obtain incomplete Super Soldier Serum from General Ross, using S.H.I.E.L.D.'s intelligence and connections, which was the top priority.
The next day, when the first ray of sunlight shone on Li Chuan's face through the window, he slowly opened his eyes.
As a martial artist, he didn't have the habit of sleeping in.
Getting up, he drew the curtains to prevent the sunlight from waking the still sleeping Wanda, and Li Chuan quietly left the bedroom.
Yesterday, she had been on a plane, then in a car, then arranging the new home, and was even tossed around by Li Chuan for a long time in the middle of the night. Wanda's body wasn't as good as Li Chuan's, so Li Chuan didn't plan to wake her up in the morning.
After washing up, he made two breakfasts in the new home's kitchen. After eating his own, he put Wanda's portion in the warmer with a note attached.
In terms of cooking skills, Li Chuan's cooking was actually much better than Wanda's.
Moreover, he could not only cook Western food but also many authentic Chinese dishes, but his identity after transmigration was very wealthy, so he didn't need to cook for himself.
But now it was different. Since they were married and had a home, it naturally had to look like a home; he couldn't just spend money to buy everything to eat.
After breakfast, he went to the community's outdoor parking lot, where Little Six was already waiting for him in the car.
"Boss, today's schedule is as follows: A meeting and speech with all new company employees at 9:30 AM, a press conference at 10:30 AM, and an event at 2:00 PM…"
As the car started, Little Six drove and explained the day's schedule to Li Chuan.
As the chairman of Li's Group, most of his time was spent on cultivation and improving his strength, rarely managing company affairs.
The company's scientific research was handed over to Dr. Smith, publicity, production, and sales were handled by Jack, the covert work would be taken care of by Little Five, and Uncle Li was in charge of overall coordination.
However, in special circumstances, he still had to make an appearance.
For example, some charity events, some press conferences that required the chairman's presence, some important awards ceremonies, and so on.
Like now, with the new company established in New York, plus the launch of two new products, he might have to focus his energy on this for the next one or two weeks.
As for the side quest to rescue Dr. Ethan, that was not urgent yet.
Firstly, if he remembered correctly, it took Tony over two months from being kidnapped to escaping on his own, and it had only been a few days, so there was still time.
Secondly, this was New York, not Sokovia, after all. The intelligence team in New York had just been established, and it would take some time to thoroughly investigate information about Obadiah Stane.
So the current preliminary plan was to first establish the new company in New York, then complete the side quest to obtain the Healing Palm Technique, and finally go to the Small World to cultivate and continue to improve his strength.
