Chapter 121 - Chapter 121: Tsk, Came Back and the House Is Gone!

To be honest, Su Che didn't care that much about whether Tony Stark confessed to Pepper right now.

After all, these two would get together sooner or later and have a daughter named Morgan Stark!

What really caught Su Che's attention was Nick Fury.

Early this morning, he had received two videos on his phone.

One was an interrogation video of Baron Strucker.

In this video, Strucker was quite stubborn. No matter what, he refused to say whether he knew the identities of other HYDRA members.

Su Che could understand Baron Strucker's choice; after all, S.H.I.E.L.D. was now practically "Hydra & Shield." It was natural for him to hold onto some hope.

If questioned, he might even claim that Silver Moon Knight, Black Widow, Iron Man, and the like were all HYDRA members.

Fortunately, he didn't mention Captain America Steve Rogers being HYDRA too.

But what was the meaning of this second video?

He actually sent the video of Howard Stark and his wife Maria being killed by the Winter Soldier to his phone?

Wait, why send this video to him?

Was it because he had written in his diary that in the future, Tony would break with Steve because of this video?

Now that Nick Fury knew about it, given his character, he would definitely want to resolve this matter personally.

Was he trying to gauge Su Che's reaction?

Just because Tony and Steve now had a very good relationship with him?

And he thought things wouldn't get too out of hand with Su Che's involvement?

Anyway, this video was now like a hot potato because the other side was also probably figuring out how to deal with it.

Well, let's also consider the possibility that this was a test from Nick Fury!

Although this guy's trust level was still stuck at 73%, unmoving, as hard and stubborn as a latrine stone, he should probably trust Su Che.

The reason Su Che immediately believed the video was sent by Nick Fury was that the sender's addresses for both videos were completely untraceable.

Well, in the Marvel world, whenever you encounter a famous untraceable number or email sender, you can just pin it all on Nick Fury.

Seventy-three percent chance it was Nick Fury!

Steve didn't spend too long talking with Peggy.

In just twenty minutes, Steve walked out of the house in front of them.

It wasn't that he didn't want to talk more, but Peggy was old now. Her emotions shouldn't be too excited for long periods, otherwise it could be dangerous.

When Tony Stark saw Steve come out, his eyes lit up. He had just put his hands in his pockets, but seeing Steve obviously relieved, with even the melancholy between his brows dissipated quite a bit, Tony took his hands back out: "How boring."

"Huh?"

Steve, who had just walked out of the house, looked much more relaxed. Just as he was about to speak, he heard Tony directly say "boring." This made Steve look at Su Che somewhat puzzled.

"Heartfelt worries resolved?"

Leaning against the car and looking at Steve, Su Che asked with a smile.

"She's fine, really fine."

Squinting at the dazzling yet warm sun in the sky, Steve smiled and nodded.

He didn't say anything extra, and Steve didn't explain whether "fine" meant Peggy's body was still very healthy or something else. But Su Che and Tony Stark didn't press further.

Anyway, Steve seemed more at ease now.

That was enough!

"And you?"

Looking at Su Che, Steve showed a sunny smile: "My heart is mostly settled, what about you?"

"Me?"

Hearing Steve's words, Su Che fell silent for a moment.

"Let's head back!"

Looking at the group with a smile, Su Che said softly.

What heartfelt worries did he have?

It was just that he wasn't from this world!

Maybe sometimes he missed the world he used to be in.

But as time went on, he had gradually gotten used to it.

Don't be fooled by how often he wrote in the Black Gold Diary about missing that so-called parallel world.

In reality, he would never write down the bits and pieces he truly missed about his original world in the diary.

Some so-called diaries are written for others to read.

Like the Black Gold Diary.

Some real diaries are written in one's heart.

Anyway, as long as he himself knew, that was enough!

Driving the car back, Wanda thought what Steve was referring to was related to the world mentioned in the Black Gold Diary.

Tony Stark, on the other hand, was full of gossip and curiosity.

But he didn't ask.

He planned to wait until they got back, find some time, and ask Steve what Su Che's "heartfelt worry" was.

Friends naturally need to show genuine care.

Right, he absolutely had no other ulterior motives.

Absolutely not!!

When everyone returned unimpeded to the Peach Blossom Forest Cafe in Manhattan, Su Che's phone suddenly rang.

Answering the phone, it was Natasha Romanoff calling.

As soon as he picked up, Natasha Romanoff's voice on the other end was grave: "Su, your apartment, and the one S.H.I.E.L.D. arranged for Steve next to it, both exploded about ten minutes ago."

"Although there were no casualties, according to the initial on-site investigation, it appears to be man-made."

Hearing what Natasha Romanoff said on the other end, Su Che glanced at Steve, then said to Natasha: "Understood, we're heading there now!"

Seeing Su Che hang up the phone with a somewhat solemn expression, Tony Stark and Steve in the back seat asked in unison, "What's going on?"

"Natasha Romanoff just called. She said the apartments where Steve and I lived were bombed. It was man-made!"

Hearing Su Che's words, Tony, who had been laughing, gradually turned serious.

Steve also said with a grave expression, "Man-made explosion? Was it targeting you, or me? Or..."

He didn't voice the other guess, especially since Wanda was still in the passenger seat. Wanda and Pietro had previously been part of Sokovia's HYDRA. If this was HYDRA's revenge, it would undoubtedly cast a shadow over Wanda's heart. It was best not to discuss it in front of the Maximoff siblings and not to draw HYDRA's focus onto them.

"I don't know if it's for you or for me."

After starting the car and driving towards the apartment, Su Che said seriously, "We'll find out when we get back."

"Tsk, we go out for a trip and come back to find our house gone, Steve."

"I guess I'll be sleeping on the streets tonight!"

Hearing Su Che still in the mood to joke, Tony glanced at his expression and understood his intention. Wanda, sitting in the passenger seat, was likely worried it was HYDRA. Thinking of this, Tony also deliberately exaggerated: "Wow, it seems the imposing Silver Moon Knight and Captain America Steve Rogers will be homeless tonight. If the media finds out, this will definitely be huge news."

"Oh, well. Good thing you have a soft-hearted, kind billionaire for a friend."

"You can stay at my place tonight. I won't charge you rent!"

"Of course, I'll leave the villa cleaning to you. After all, it costs a lot to hire cleaners every month!"
