The New York Police Department arrived late and found Li Wei giving an interview.
They quickly secured the scene, but the frenzied reporters refused to back off.
"Mr. Li Wei, were you too arrogant and overbearing, offended someone, and suffered retaliation?"
A male reporter immediately asked in an inflammatory tone.
However, Li Wei had his own tricks. He said directly, "I don't like you. Please ask your question, beautiful lady. You're very pretty."
He pointed directly at a blonde, blue-eyed female reporter.
Upon hearing that, the female reporter instinctively straightened up, showing off her proud figure.
Then, in a highly professional manner, she squeezed the male reporter aside. As she handed over the microphone, a small card slipped into the car.
Smiling, the blonde reporter said, "Mr. Li Wei, may I ask what happened here?"
The male reporter was deeply unwilling to accept it, but he did not dare miss the story and immediately listened intently.
Only then did Li Wei feel much better.
Just like a certain old acquaintance, he absolutely could not fall into the trap of proving himself. Any news unfavorable to him was fake news...
So Li Wei smiled. "As you can see, our research was attacked. The materials here are all related to research into a limb-regeneration serum..."
Li Wei spoke eloquently, also discussing the company's research and helping Professor Connors make a name for himself.
Professor Connors gave a bitter smile, feeling immense pressure.
"Then who were the attackers?"
The female reporter immediately asked.
"I don't know."
Li Wei shook his head, then suddenly had an idea.
At a time like this, how could Tony Stark be left out?
So he immediately continued, "I suspect Tony Stark thought I was too handsome and couldn't compare to me, so he sent people to sabotage my research."
The reporters became excited when they heard that name, just as expected.
Then Li Wei rolled up the car window.
"Mr. Li Wei, please say a little more!"
"..."
The reporters refused to leave and shouted wildly. The blonde reporter even gestured for Li Wei to call her number.
Only then did the New York Police Department come over to drive them away.
When it came to a major benefactor like Li Wei, the New York Police Department had to show some respect.
After all, not long ago, Future Technology Company had provided the New York Police Department with advanced police cars and various small devices in the name of a donation.
"Mr. Li Wei, are you all right?"
A middle-aged police captain hurried over.
"I'm fine, George."
Li Wei replied, "Please arrange treatment for my employees."
"No problem. This was our oversight."
George Stacy said apologetically.
One look at his surname was enough to tell that he was Gwen Stacy's father.
How could Li Wei blame his father-in-law? No...
How could he blame his secretary's father?
The officers quickly checked the situation. Future Technology's security personnel were mostly fine, while the gang members had suffered heavy casualties. Those lucky enough to survive had fled.
The security guards had all been knocked unconscious by the woman who appeared at the end.
She was more capable in combat than all the gang members put together.
Afterward, Li Wei and the others quickly escorted the materials back. This time, police cars led the way the entire route.
As for the scene, it was left to George Stacy.
"Master, how could you do something so dangerous?"
Once they set off again, 2B immediately asked with a cold expression.
Li Wei immediately said, "Didn't I stay in the car?"
"But you could still have been exposed to the enemy's line of sight. What if you were in danger while I wasn't by your side?"
2B calmly analyzed the situation.
After all, she was an android. Even at a time like this, she showed no emotional fluctuation.
"True. Reporters are even more dangerous than enemies."
Li Wei nodded in agreement, unaware that 2B had no idea he had not listened at all.
After all, Li Wei checked his rapidly soaring reputation points. This had all been worth it.
He picked up a small card with a phone number on it.
Thinking of that blonde, voluptuous female reporter, Li Wei simply opened the window and threw the card outside.
He was not Tony Stark, willing to take anything that came along.
"Professor Connors, are you all right?"
Li Wei looked at Professor Connors sitting beside him, still holding the materials in his hands.
"I'm fine. She called herself Yelena. I don't know who she is."
Professor Connors said with a frown.
He had been on the battlefield before, so he had not been frightened.
"Yelena?"
Hearing that name, Li Wei's thoughts immediately stirred.
Then he had 2B bring up the footage.
2B had a recording function and immediately played the scene from earlier for Li Wei.
One look, and Li Wei knew something was off. This Yelena was far prettier than the one in his memories.
She had beautiful blonde hair, sharp features, and resolute eyes.
"Li, you know her?"
Professor Connors asked.
"I didn't expect the Russians to make the first move."
Li Wei said.
There could not be many women in this world named Yelena who were also female agents. She was most likely the one from the Red Room.
And this was America...
No matter what happened, it was never wrong to pin the blame on the Russians.
After all, they really were not good people...
"Russians?"
Professor Connors' arm tensed, and then he said, "No matter who they are, they won't stop us."
"That's right."
Li Wei nodded. "We will create a world without the weak."
That was Professor Connors' slogan and wish. Li Wei was merely going along with it.
Of course, he also wanted to change the world.
With police cars leading the way, they safely arrived beneath Future Technology Company this time. Stark Industries stood right beside it.
The security guards hurriedly carried the materials inside. Professor Connors got out of the car, and a figure immediately threw herself at him.
"Martha, I'm fine."
Professor Connors immediately said.
She was his wife, Martha.
Martha was around the same age as Connors, already middle-aged as well.
She had also graduated from a prestigious university and had always supported Connors' experiments. For Professor Connors, what more could a husband ask for than a wife like her?
"It's good that you're fine. Be more careful next time. Even if the materials are gone, you can research them again."
Martha immediately said.
That made Professor Connors glance at Li Wei awkwardly.
Li Wei shrugged.
"Let's go inside first. It's not safe out here."
"Yes, yes, yes."
Martha came to her senses and became more nervous than everyone else.
Then everyone hurried into the company, while 2B followed closely at the rear, protecting Li Wei.
"Let's go to the laboratory."
After entering, Professor Connors relaxed and immediately said, "I don't plan to go home for the next few days. I'll stay at the company. It's safer here."
He had realized that the woman called Yelena had come for him.
He absolutely could not be captured.
Li Wei nodded as well. "The company is very safe. Anyone who dares come in will definitely regret it."
Li Wei admired people like Professor Connors the most, those who devoted themselves wholeheartedly to research.
See? He immediately threw himself back into his experiments.
And Professor Connors was not the only one conducting experimental research at Future Technology Company.
