Chen Mo put Su Wan in charge of S.H.I.E.L.D. Biotechnology Company, where she rapidly produced the Life Foundation’s anti-cancer drug. When Su Wan asked for help finding clinical-trial volunteers, Chen Mo sent her a list of more than five hundred patients willing to consider the trial.

S.H.I.E.L.D. Auto's booming sales and three models threatened the top-tier automotive market, while Chen Mo planned to let the company eventually crush Fūtián Group through competition. The first major manufacturer to react to the new “Thunder” supercar was Ferrari.

• S.H.I.E.L.D. Auto's three models generated over a billion dollars in daily revenue and captured the top-tier automotive market.
• Chen Mo viewed Fūtián Group as a minor threat and planned to expand S.H.I.E.L.D. Auto into other markets rather than retaliate directly.
• Fukuda Kosuke avoided another attempt to steal S.H.I.E.L.D. Auto's technology after his previous operation failed.
• S.H.I.E.L.D. Auto's “Knight,” “Thunder,” and “Lord” models threatened premium automakers by covering the top-tier SUV, supercar, and luxury sedan markets.
• Ferrari became the first top sports car manufacturer unable to sit still after the release of the “Thunder” supercar.

Ferrari investigated S.H.I.E.L.D. Auto and hired an Italian Mafia organization in the United States to target Chen Mo. That night, fourteen gunmen broke into Chen Mo’s estate and reached the Castle, eager to capture him and loot the property.

• Ferrari concluded that Chen Mo was responsible for S.H.I.E.L.D. Auto’s sudden technological advances and contacted the Mafia in the United States.
• A Mafia crew drove toward Chen Mo’s estate in an unmarked SUV and box truck, planning to capture him and steal valuables.
• The SUV rammed through the estate gates, and the crew continued toward the Castle, believing only five people were there.
• The vehicles reached the square before the Castle, where the gunmen eyed the building greedily and the driver began discussing their expected loot.

A blade-wielding figure killed three Mafia men in an SUV, then disappeared from the box truck’s roof and attacked its cargo compartment. The short, stocky Mafia leader remained inside his vehicle, unsure whether the men in the truck had stopped the attacker.

Wade killed the last surviving attacker, and J.A.R.V.I.S. identified Ferrari Motors as the mastermind behind the ambush on Chen Mo. Chen Mo ordered Wade and Agent Zero to destroy the Italian Mafia in Los Angeles by the next day, as the two appeared in a private room where Mafia leaders were gathered.

• Wade appeared behind the SUV and shot the short, stocky leader after learning that he did not know who had hired the attackers.

• Wade and Agent Zero used J.A.R.V.I.S.’s intelligence to attack the Mafia’s hideouts and kill everyone on their death list.
• The FBI investigated the massacre, and David angrily questioned a report identifying Deadpool as the killer.

The FBI struggled to identify the person who had destroyed Los Angeles’s Mafia forces, while the public turned the supposed “Deadpool” into an online sensation. In Italy, Bernie Todd suspected Chen Mo might be behind the massacre and increased his security rather than risk acting against him again.

• David angrily rejected his agent’s report identifying the killer as Deadpool and ordered the investigation to continue.

Chen Mo prepared to return to China after S.H.I.E.L.D. Auto entered Formula One, while Bernie Todd planned to use the race to strike back at him. On the flight to Binhai, Chen Mo encountered Zhang Lan, who recognized him as the mysterious figure who had saved her on the deserted island.

Meanwhile, Zhang Lan returned home with Xu Shan, who pressed her to explain her connection to the CEO, and Zhang Lan prepared to speak privately.

• Chen Mo explained that he had discovered the family connection through an online video and presented the Chen Family Boxing Manual as an inherited martial art.
• Chen Jingde and Chen Weiguo became excited about the manual, and Chen Mo taught them and Zhang Huilan the basics of the Chen-style Fist.
• Zhang Lan returned from the airport with Xu Shan, checked that the doors and windows were shut, and sat down with her as Xu Shan demanded an explanation about the CEO.

Zhang Lan realized that Chen Mo might be the mysterious Black Man who saved her and Xu Shan on the deserted island, and she decided to tell Captain. Meanwhile, Chen Mo emerged from the Chen family home with the whole family accompanying him, leaving the crowd wondering whether he had become Master Chen’s disciple.

• Zhang Lan showed Xu Shan Chen Mo’s business card and pointed out that it listed BLACK, the name the girls had used for the Black Man.

Chen Mo returned to his ancestral home with the Chen family, completed the reunion ceremony, and went back to the United States. The Chen family then opened a martial arts school, but only four people Chen Mo had selected from the original hopefuls became apprentices.

Chen Mo established the Chen family's martial arts identity by teaching four disciples and returned to Los Angeles satisfied with his trip home. As he relaxed while S.H.I.E.L.D. Industries expanded into new fields, Su Wan warned him that suspicious people had been targeting the company’s new medicine and had stolen some from a hospital.

• Su Wan called Chen Mo and reported that suspicious people had been appearing at a hospital and that some of the new medicine had been stolen.

The public doubted S.H.I.E.L.D. Aerospace Company’s supersonic private jet and dismissed S.H.I.E.L.D. Bio Company’s cancer drug as implausible, though wealthy potential buyers and pharmaceutical competitors paid close attention. The drug trials took place in hospitals, giving rival companies opportunities to investigate them.

• Critics with business rivalries mocked S.H.I.E.L.D. Aerospace Company and speculated that its supersonic private jet was a disguised spaceship.

• Major pharmaceutical companies publicly dismissed the drug but secretly sought information about it through the hospital-based clinical trials.

After S.H.I.E.L.D. Bio’s trial drugs were stolen, Chen Mo learned that a corporate spy had sold them to five pharmaceutical companies. He told Su Wan to call the police and had J.A.R.V.I.S. guide the investigation, hoping to expose the companies’ interest in the drug and clear S.H.I.E.L.D. Bio’s name.

• Chen Mo learned that Meishi Company had hired a corporate spy who stole the trial drugs and sold them to five anticancer drug manufacturers.

• The Los Angeles police took the report seriously and dispatched officers to investigate.
