After accepting the mission, Noah looked at the system's mission guidance arrow, opened the door, and walked out.
On the street in front of Noah's house, there was little traffic, only a few scattered pedestrians walking on the sidewalk, and some cleaners sweeping.
Standing at the door, Noah looked at everyone and everything on the street, searching for those who might be Agents in disguise, but he didn't really need to search; the system's mission guidance had already found them for him.
Above the head of a cleaner across the street, a large arrow pointed, and many people in the distance also had such arrows.
Noah looked and knew that these people were the Agents monitoring him.
Several S.H.I.E.L.D. plainclothes Agents, while pretending to be in their disguised identities, communicated via internal voice: "Target entered the room and then came out again... Target is moving eastward... Target is walking past me... Target..."
The Agent's report stopped abruptly because he felt a hand on his shoulder.
"Hello, buddy, are you guys FBI?"
When Noah walked out of the door, he saw the system's guidance arrow pointing at a sanitation worker trimming branches ahead.
Noah pretended not to know the other party's identity and walked over, hearing his conversation with his teammates through a walkie-talkie hidden somewhere on his body, then turned back and patted the Agent on the shoulder.
The Agent, whose shoulder was pressed by Noah, immediately became a little nervous.
They had been responsible for observing this target for the past few days, and they were well aware of his abilities.
He had no doubt that the other party could easily crush his shoulder, but he also didn't intend to sit still and wait.
Just as he was about to turn to attack Noah, Noah had already detected his movement in advance, and his other hand pressed down on the other party's arm, the immense pressure making him unable to move.
"Alright, don't worry, I won't hurt you, I just want to meet your superior," Noah said to the Agent after subduing him.
Just as the Agent was about to refuse Noah, Coulson's command came through his earpiece: "Alright, Neil, agree to his request.
Tell him we'll meet at his house."
"Received, Captain.
So, Mr. Li, our Captain says he will come to find you, and the meeting place will be your home."
Mr. Li referred to Noah.
Noah's surname in this life was Li, full name Li Noah, and in America, he should be called Noah Li.
Although Noah found it strange why the other party wanted to meet at his house, he didn't care.
Since they could monitor him here, they must have already known the exact location of his house.
"No problem."
The Agent indicated that he needed to follow Noah, and Noah had no objection.
Subsequently, Noah led the Agent back to his home.
After returning home, Noah sat in the living room, turned on the TV, and watched the news, not speaking to the Agent.
The two quietly waited for the S.H.I.E.L.D. personnel to arrive.
"Ding-dong~" A few minutes later, Noah's doorbell suddenly rang.
The Agent sitting in the living room got up and went to open the door; he knew the S.H.I.E.L.D. people had arrived.
After opening the door, outside stood a man in a suit with a receding hairline and a kind smile.
After seeing the features of the person outside the door, Noah knew who it was: Agent Coulson of S.H.I.E.L.D..
Coulson nodded to the Agent who opened the door, then quietly gave him some instructions, signaling that he could leave.
Coulson carried his briefcase, walked to the chair next to Noah, sat down, placed the briefcase on the table, and smiled at Noah, saying, "Noah, hello, I'm Agent Coulson."
Coulson reached out to shake Noah's hand, and Noah didn't refuse, extending his hand to shake Coulson's.
However, he felt Coulson was a bit too familiar, calling him by his first name right away.
"Noah, actually, I was quite surprised that you were the target of this mission.
After seeing the mission report, I applied to take over this mission," Coulson said to Noah after shaking hands.
"Oh? Why? I don't think I know you."
Noah listened to Coulson's words and felt curious.
He didn't seem to know him, and there was no information about Coulson in his memory.
Could it be a connection through his parents?
What kind of connection could his parents have with a S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent?
"First, take a look at this photo, Noah."
Coulson took a photo from the briefcase on the table.
It was a group photo, like a team taking a group picture.
In it, he saw Coulson, and... his parents.
'watt? My parents are actually S.H.I.E.L.D. Agents?'
Noah looked at the photo with a shocked expression, never expecting such a development.
His parents were actually S.H.I.E.L.D. Agents.
No wonder their business trips were always so long; it turned out they were on missions.
Also, his parents' cause of death, was it really not a common car accident?!
Noah's mind raced for a moment; this heavy piece of information left him a bit stunned.
He never thought his parents were actually S.H.I.E.L.D. Agents.
Coulson watched Noah's thoughtful expression and then said to him, "Sander Li, Han Lin, no, I should use your Huaxia names: Li Lei, Lin Han.
Your parents were both Agents in our Bureau.
Oh, I haven't told you yet, we are Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., and your parents were S.H.I.E.L.D. Agents before, and they were even members of my team."
"So, after seeing that you were the target of this mission, I proposed to the Bureau that I would be responsible for the entire mission, Noah.
Do you have any questions now?" Coulson finished speaking and looked at Noah, asking.
"Were my parents always Agents then, and about their accident, was it a real car accident, or was there more to it?!"
Noah asked Coulson.
He wanted to know if his parents truly died in a car accident or if they passed away due to some unexpected event during a mission.
"The car accident was just our S.H.I.E.L.D.'s explanation to the outside world; your parents died during a mission."
Coulson heard Noah's question and replied with a somewhat sad expression.
Although S.H.I.E.L.D.'s missions should not be disclosed to outsiders, he continued to tell Noah, "That mission was a search mission.
We, S.H.I.E.L.D., had located a secret Base of an unknown organization.
Then the Bureau dispatched my team to execute the mission.
At that time, I had another mission and didn't go with the team members to execute this one.
After returning, I received information that my team was attacked during the mission, and only two team members survived and returned.
Later, the Bureau dispatched more personnel, and that mysterious Base was already empty."
"Why were they attacked midway?
Was your mission information not kept secret?
Is there an insider in your Bureau?"
Noah heard Coulson say that his parents' mission team was attacked midway.
Is this how S.H.I.E.L.D.'s secrecy works?
No, S.H.I.E.L.D. doesn't just contain S.H.I.E.L.D.; it also contains HYDRA!
Suddenly learning that his parents were S.H.I.E.L.D. Agents, Noah's mind was a bit chaotic for a moment.
Noah had already begun to suspect that HYDRA was responsible.
After all, S.H.I.E.L.D. had been thoroughly infiltrated by HYDRA, riddled with holes.
It was possible that the target Base of that mission belonged to HYDRA, and then HYDRA's insider leaked the secret, leading to the annihilation of his parents' team.
No, it wasn't annihilated; two people survived.
Could these two possibly be HYDRA?
Thinking of this, Noah quickly asked Coulson, pointing to the photo and asking which two survived.
Coulson had just heard Noah ask if there was an insider in the Bureau and was about to tell him that S.H.I.E.L.D. had already conducted an internal investigation at that time, and there was no insider.
The other party might have used some reconnaissance device to detect the presence of the mission team, which led to the annihilation of the reconnaissance team.
But at this moment, Noah inquired about the two surviving teammates, suspecting these two were insiders?
Coulson could still understand.
After all, Noah's parents died in this mission, while these two were able to return alive.
Suspecting these two was normal.
After pointing out the positions of the two people in the photo and saying their names, he told Noah S.H.I.E.L.D.'s judgment on the cause of that mission's failure.
Noah listened to Coulson's statement, nodded, and did not interrupt him.
After all, Coulson didn't know that their Bureau was full of insiders, and even the higher-ups had a big insider, Alexander Pierce.
After a while, Noah also calmed down.
Actually, he felt that the possibility of HYDRA causing his parents' death was not entirely out of the question, but Noah also had another thought: could his parents have been on HYDRA's side?
Thinking of this, Noah shivered.
Whatever the truth, Noah would find out later, he thought to himself.
"So, Noah, can you tell me what has happened to you recently?"
Coulson saw that Noah had calmed down and felt it was time for the next question.
He took out a tablet and placed it in front of Noah.
