As a top-tier agent, Black Widow was quite good at reading people, even though they had been chatting aimlessly.
However, Black Widow knew that Qin Xiao wasn't at all interested in joining the Avengers Initiative, or rather, S.H.I.E.L.D.
Everyone knew the principle of "too much of a good thing." Anyway, Black Widow and Qin Xiao were temporarily friends, so Nick Fury temporarily shifted his focus elsewhere.
But how many eyes he secretly had watching, only he knew.
Meanwhile, Tony Stark had been missing for almost half a month.
The U.S. military and the FBI frantically searched all over Afghanistan, but there was still no news.
"Agent Romanoff, have you missed me?"
On the fourteenth day of Tony Stark's disappearance, Qin Xiao received a system mission.
Rescue Tony Stark.
Qin Xiao thought he would have to wait for Tony to return, for the plot to officially begin, and then defeat the villain.
He didn't expect such a mission to suddenly appear.
Although Qin Xiao had watched the movie, he wasn't all-knowing. For example, the specific location of that cave.
The military and the FBI, like locusts, had almost plowed through Afghanistan, but they couldn't find the place, let alone Qin Xiao alone.
So, Qin Xiao dialed Black Widow's number.
"Compared to the current environment, yes, I miss you. Working by your side is simply like a vacation."
Black Widow's voice was loud, accompanied by the sound of gunfire.
"Are you on a mission? Or can we talk later?"
"Just a moment..."
Black Widow said calmly.
Qin Xiao listened to the various noises coming from the phone, gunshots.
There were also sounds that sounded like muffled grunts and bodies falling.
Finally, there was a man's long, mournful scream...
Then Black Widow picked up the phone.
"What do you need?"
"Uh..."
The scream just now was a bit mind-blowing, Qin Xiao couldn't help but ask.
"What did you do to that guy who screamed just now?"
"I stomped his balls into a burrito!"
"Hiss!!!"
Although Qin Xiao said the words first, Black Widow said them in a half-joking manner.
Qin Xiao still gasped, from the man's scream just now, Qin Xiao felt that Black Widow was probably not joking.
For a moment, he only felt a faint pain in his lower body, and couldn't help but change his sitting posture.
Qin Xiao then began to speak seriously.
"Obadiah Stane, the second-largest shareholder in Stark Industries, you know him, right? I need some information on him. Are you in Los Angeles? It would be best if we could meet."
"You suspect he's involved in Stark's disappearance?"
Black Widow was quick to react, hesitating for a moment before retorting.
"That's right. Are you in Los Angeles? I think we should meet. And, don't tell anyone yet."
"Wait for me. I'll be there in two hours!"
Black Widow hung up the phone directly.
In fact, Black Widow arrived at Qin Xiao's doorstep in only an hour and a half.
Obviously, S.H.I.E.L.D. was also very concerned about what happened to Tony Stark.
Because Black Widow, still in her black combat suit, came over without even changing clothes.
Whoosh~~~~!! Qin Xiao whistled.
"Going out in the middle of the night in that outfit is an insult to the profession of hooliganism!"
"I welcome it if they don't mind their balls turning into burritos!"
Black Widow gently pushed Qin Xiao away and sat down on the sofa.
"Tell me, why do you suspect that guy?"
Black Widow got straight to the point! "Firstly, not many people knew about Tony's plan and route to Afghanistan, only those close to him and the military."
Qin Xiao took a bottle of a drink from the fridge for Black Widow.
"I believe the military has already vetted it internally. Secondly, who benefits the most from Stark's disappearance? He's the only one who fits both criteria. It's simple, isn't it? You'd know if you'd watched a suspense movie."
Qin Xiao said with exaggeration.
In fact, it wasn't that no one suspected it.
It's just that when Tony Stark's father passed away,
it was Obadiah who, against all odds, helped Tony Stark take control of the entire company.
If he had the intention to swallow the company, that would have been the best opportunity.
So in everyone's eyes, Obadiah was like an uncle, helping Tony manage the company.
Helping him with public relations during a crisis, cleaning up the messes he made.
This partner seemed to be the greatest legacy Howard Stark left for his son.
Everyone knew this, and Qin Xiao, who had been with Tony for so long, naturally knew it too.
So he continued.
"Everyone thinks Obadiah helped Tony control Stark Industries, but only Obadiah knows that Tony is a golden goose."
"He's different from Tony and his father; he's a businessman. He's very good at investing, whether it's in Howard or Stark. And now, it's time for him to reap the rewards."
Qin Xiao's words were highly credible. As long as there was a motive, then the only one who fit all the conditions was that bald-headed Obadiah.
"I admit you have a point, but that's far from enough. We can't arrest him based on this speculation. I'm not the Secretary of Defense!"
Black Widow made a helpless gesture.
"Of course I understand what you mean, but I didn't say I was going to arrest him. I just want to find out where Stark is. I just want to save my friend."
"If it really was him, he must have contacted the people who kidnapped Tony. There will always be some clues left. You understand what I mean, right? You're definitely an expert in this area."
"Just give it a try. If it's not him, there's no trouble. Secretly check some of his private records, like emails and phone calls. I don't think that should be a problem for you, right?"
Secretly investigating someone was indeed nothing for the famous Black Widow.
However, the internal network of Stark Industries gave Black Widow a headache.
Stark Industries had its own communication satellites and its own independent internal network.
There was no problem for external networks to break in, but once data outflow occurred, they would immediately report it to the police and directly cut off the network.
Simple, crude, but highly effective.
It had to be broken through the internal network. Just as Qin Xiao was thinking about whether to ask Happy or Pepper for help,
Black Widow went out to make a phone call.
"It's done. We just need to wait for the results!"
"Done? Didn't you just say there was no other way but from the inside? Do you have people in Stark Industries?"
Qin Xiao asked in surprise.
"Not me, but us. I had the Director deploy our people in Stark Industries, and we should have news soon."
Black Widow said with considerable confidence.
Qin Xiao wasn't so calm anymore.
"What? You informed your director? Damn it! Didn't I tell you not to tell anyone?"
"I'm on a mission. I can't just disappear and run over a thousand kilometers to see you. I have to report in, understand? Don't worry, we're the world's largest intelligence agency. Our people are hand-picked. They're not only professional but also reliable!"
Black Widow said with conviction.
Qin Xiao rolled his eyes, thinking, You'll understand what S.H.I.E.L.D. really is one day.
But for now, he could only pray that the person Nick Fury had wasn't a Hydra agent.
Otherwise, who knew how much unexpected trouble would be caused.
