Finding Their Trail!

This is the human resources department of Hammer Industries. The female employee whose ID card was just stolen by Natasha Romanoff is an employee of the human resources department.

Natasha tidied her hair and then casually glanced around at her surroundings.

Not far from her was the human resources department's office area, where many people were busily working, with people constantly going in and out carrying documents.

Just as Natasha was observing, a guard in uniform with a stun gun at his waist appeared at the end of the corridor, glanced casually in their direction, and then continued walking forward.

Natasha Romanoff's eyes lit up, and she immediately walked over there.

As Natasha, walking forward with his back to her, about ten meters ahead.

After discreetly observing her surroundings, Natasha quickly spotted several surveillance cameras mounted on the ceiling. However, based on her experience, she easily found several blind spots in the surveillance, one of which was located not far in front of the guard.

After silently calculating the distance, Natasha continued walking briskly behind the guard.

Her steps seemed casual, yet she made almost no sound. The guard in front was unaware that a deadly "Black Widow" was rapidly approaching him from behind!

The surveillance footage showed nothing unusual; Natasha's steps were elegant and light, her graceful figure sexy and charming, making her look like a beautiful career woman.

Soon, Natasha silently approached the guard from behind, just as they entered a blind spot of the surveillance cameras.

With a sharp look across both ends of the corridor, and after confirming that no one else was around, Natasha pushed off with her feet and sprinted forward. As she got close to the guard behind her, she swiftly reached out with her right hand and pulled out the stun baton from his waist.

Before the guard could react, Natasha quickly turned on the switch and shoved the sparking tip into the guard's lower back.

The guard felt a fragrant breeze pass by, and then suddenly felt a void around his waist. A sharp pain followed by a strong numbness came from his lower back, and his whole body trembled before he collapsed weakly to the ground.

After easily taking down the guard, Natasha grabbed his clothes and dragged him into a nearby room.

This is a small conference room. Natasha sensed that there was no one else inside before she made her move.

Closing the door, Natasha gave the guard, who was frozen on the ground with a look of terror on his face, a charming smile on her face. Then she bent down and loosened his belt.

Natasha quickly tied him up securely, and just to be safe, she hit him on the head again, knocking him unconscious, before removing his ID card from his chest.

One kilometer above Hammer Industries, two gold and red and one black steel figures were silently suspended in mid-air.

They just received a call from the "kidnappers," instructing Tony Stark to bring his Iron Man suit and all the design documents to a designated location alone to ransom the hostage, and not to wear the suit.

Tony Stark had J.A.R.V.I.S. review the surveillance footage around the location and discovered that a group of armed men had indeed arrived there in two unlicensed black SUVs identical to those used at the school gate.

Chen Mo was certain that it was a trap, the purpose of which was to steal the Iron Man suit. If Tony Stark really went there alone without the suit as they said, with his combat strength not much stronger than that of an ordinary person, he would be at their mercy in front of a group of fully armed elite mercenaries.

Not only will his suit be stolen, but he himself may also be in danger. Who knows if Justin Hammer will eliminate Tony Stark to prevent future troubles?

The kidnappers didn't have much time. If Tony didn't show up by then, Justin Hammer would definitely be on guard and it could be detrimental to Sharon. So they didn't have much time left.

Now it all depends on whether Natasha Romanoff can take control of the monitoring room and find Sharon Rogers as soon as possible.

However, Chen Mo did not urge her. He trusted Natasha's abilities. Her silence meant she was already taking action, and it would be unwise to rush her at this point. Besides, there was still time.

In the monitoring room, Natasha sat down in front of the computer and quickly started operating it, retrieving previous surveillance footage and tracing the route taken by the two SUVs as they entered Hammer Industries.

Around her, several guards lay stiffly on the ground, their bodies twitching occasionally.

As Natasha reviewed the surveillance footage, she would occasionally pull out her stun gun and use it on those who had regained their mobility, leaving them lying on the ground convulsing.

A few minutes later, Natasha's eyes lit up; she had finally found it.

In the surveillance footage, a group of armed men got out of an SUV and led the bound Sharon Rogers through an iron gate. Replay footage showed that Justin Hammer had also gone in a few minutes earlier.

But the footage ends there; there's no further footage available. Clearly, there were no security cameras installed in that room.

However, by reviewing other surveillance footage in the vicinity, Natasha was certain that there were no other exits from that room, and they remained inside that room!

"Commander, Sharon Rogers spotted!"

In a room on the third basement level of a building in Hammer Industries, Justin Hammer sat on a sofa smoking a cigar. Although he tried to appear very calm, his somewhat stiff expression and shifty eyes revealed that he was not so at peace.

On the table in front of him was an open laptop, displaying a picture of an abandoned factory. In one corner of the picture, a dozen soldiers dressed like the mercenaries in the room, wearing skull masks and fully armed, stood ready for battle. But no one appeared on the other side of the picture.

He clearly intended to witness Tony Stark handing over the Iron Man suit firsthand, but with the appointed time fast approaching and no movement from the other side, Justin Hammer, who was already somewhat uneasy, began to panic even more.

"Reaper, contact your men and see what's going on over there. Should we call Tony Stark again to urge him on?"
