Back at the company.
Yang Bo pushed open his office door and saw Tony sitting on the sofa. He looked nothing like his usual self, his brow tightly furrowed and his expression dark. His head was slightly bowed, and there was no telling what he was thinking.
The sound of the door opening roused Tony from his thoughts, and he turned to look at him.
"You're back."
His voice was somewhat subdued. Puzzled, Yang Bo walked over and sat opposite Tony, then smiled and teased him:
"What's wrong? Something bothering you? Tell us so we can have a laugh."
Tony's expression didn't change at Yang Bo's teasing. In a low voice, he said, "I want to see the Winter Soldier!"
Yang Bo instantly understood why Tony had come to see him.
The smile faded from his face.
After Tony learned who Bucky was, he always called him Bucky. Now he's calling him the Winter Soldier. Looks like he's found out about his parents...
What Yang Bo didn't know was that after meeting Bucky last time, Tony had gone back and started investigating him, hacking into S.H.I.E.L.D.'s database out of habit. With Hydra gone, S.H.I.E.L.D.'s network security had dropped by at least a notch, making things even easier for Tony.
As expected, he had found files on Hydra, including information about the Winter Soldier and the operation on December 16, 1991.
Yang Bo looked at Tony, reached out, and gave his shoulder a firm pat. Without saying anything, he stood and addressed Ivan, who had followed him inside:
"Go get on with your work. I'll take Tony to see Bucky."
Ivan nodded, glanced at the dejected Tony, then turned and left the office.
Yang Bo had told him about the Winter Soldier before. Besides, his arm had belonged to the man.
