"Don't use your spy tactics on me, and I am a married man; I need to maintain an appropriate distance from the opposite sex."
Li Chuan shifted his feet, easily evading Natasha's alluring body as she leaned in.
"I know what you want to ask. HYDRA has never disappeared, and your S.H.I.E.L.D. has long been infiltrated by HYDRA. All you Agents are actually working for HYDRA."
"Do you know why Nick Fury is looking for me?"
"He was assassinated by HYDRA Agents today and almost died, so he wants to get some intelligence on the HYDRA Agents hidden within your S.H.I.E.L.D. from me."
"What!"
Hearing Li Chuan's words, Natasha's expression changed dramatically for the first time.
As a top-tier spy, controlling one's emotions is paramount no matter the situation, and Natasha was a master at it.
The previous fight, being captured, and even facing interrogation—none of these had caused significant changes in her emotions. However, Li Chuan's current words instantly threw her into disarray.
The reason for her turmoil was not knowing that HYDRA still existed, nor the crisis S.H.I.E.L.D. was about to face, but the phrase that she was actually working for HYDRA.
Why did she leave the Red Room and join S.H.I.E.L.D. back then?
It was because she believed S.H.I.E.L.D. was an organization truly established for the safety of humanity. She had done too many wrong things as a spy in the Red Room, killed too many innocent people, and she wanted to atone for her sins.
But if she had been working for HYDRA all these years, how was that any different from working for the Red Room before?
Perhaps, none of what he said was true!
Finally, Natasha could only comfort herself this way internally, and then followed Li Chuan into the car.
Li Chuan's mouth curved into a smile when he saw this, then quickly returned to normal.
There are no perfect people in the World. Even a top-tier spy like Natasha, a master in psychology, will have her weaknesses. As long as you find that weakness, you can easily manipulate them.
The car sped along and soon arrived downstairs at Li's Group. Li Chuan told his subordinates to wait in the car and took Natasha up to the rooftop alone.
Twenty minutes later, Tony, wearing his Iron Man Suit, landed in front of Li Chuan, carrying a large metal case.
"Oh, Chuan, you've got a new secretary. She looks quite good!"
Tony put down the case, took off his helmet, and his eyes lit up as he sized up Natasha, who was wearing a black catsuit.
Beauties always pleased him so much.
"I'm not like you, who has secretaries for work and… cough, I mean, she's not my secretary, but my new neighbor next door. Of course, she also has the identity of a S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent."
Li Chuan introduced.
Tony's interest immediately plummeted by more than half when he heard she was an Agent, and he understood Li Chuan's meaning, then pressed a button on the metal case.
"Alright, then let's see what our Director, who always likes to trespass on private property and monitor others, has to say."
"My legs are almost numb, Tony. Can't you consider the body of an injured sixty-year-old like me?"
The metal case opened, and Nick Fury, with a bruised right cheek and his left arm in a sling, squeezed out, complaining.
Tony replied with some schadenfreude:
"No choice, only this case in the laboratory could fit you. Besides, I don't want to carry an old man from Los Angeles to New York; your body would freeze into ice. Now, only your feet are a bit numb."
"Director Fury!"
Looking at Nick Fury squeezing out of the metal case, Natasha's eyes became complicated instantly.
Because that indicated that what Li Chuan had said was most likely true.
"Oh, Natasha is here too. It seems your mission failed. Well, there's no need to carry out that mission now."
Seeing Li Chuan and Natasha standing beside him, Nick Fury immediately guessed what had happened.
He couldn't help but sigh internally, not expecting that Black Widow, who rarely failed a mission, would be exposed by Li Chuan in less than a day.
"Has S.H.I.E.L.D. really been infiltrated by HYDRA?"
Although she was already eighty to ninety percent sure, Natasha still wanted to struggle a bit.
Nick Fury nodded seriously:
"Yes, the situation is very bad. Now we must figure out exactly who are enemies and who are friends."
After speaking, he turned to look at Li Chuan:
"Mr. Li Chuan, the HYDRA organization is a very evil organization; they want to destroy the entire World. S.H.I.E.L.D. is an organization established to protect Earth and humanity, recognized by all countries worldwide."
"I hope you can tell me all the information you know about HYDRA for the safety of Earth and all humanity."
Starting with moral blackmail, as expected of you.
Hearing Nick Fury's words, Li Chuan immediately frowned, then shook his head, turned, and walked away:
"It seems this meeting was a mistake. Goodbye then."
"Mr. Li Chuan, we can talk slowly. You can also mention any demands you have."
Seeing that the tactic he had just used on Tony didn't work on Li Chuan, Nick Fury immediately changed his approach.
Li Chuan stopped, turned back around, and showed a slight smile:
"That's more like it. I haven't even bothered with you sending Agents to monitor me. If you treat me like an idiot again, then there's no sincerity at all."
Li Chuan felt no sympathy for Nick Fury. Because if it weren't for the current situation, after knowing his circumstances, Nick Fury would definitely use violent methods to directly imprison him and obtain the HYDRA intelligence.
"Mr. Li Chuan, I think you must be overthinking it."
Nick Fury's face was full of sincerity.
Li Chuan also didn't waste words with this old Agent who had hundreds of tricks up his sleeve.
"I want a Super Soldier Serum sample and related data."
"Super Soldier Serum? Mr. Li Chuan, I think you misunderstood. That serum was gone as early as Captain America's birth. This is recorded in history books, and S.H.I.E.L.D. doesn't have it either."
"How about you ask for something else, like money, or I can use S.H.I.E.L.D.'s connections to help your company develop better."
Nick Fury explained with a look of genuine surprise.
But Li Chuan would never believe his nonsense and directly said:
"Don't talk so much nonsense, and don't explain so much to me. Give me the Super Soldier Serum sample and related data, and I'll give you the HYDRA intelligence. If you don't have it, go get it, otherwise, no deal. It's that simple."
There was naturally no perfect Super Soldier Serum, but how could S.H.I.E.L.D. not have imitations? Not only S.H.I.E.L.D. had them, but the U.S. Military, which had always cooperated with S.H.I.E.L.D., also had them.
