An Air Force base in New York.
Tony's secretary and assistant, Pepper Potts, and his driver and bodyguard, Hogan, were waiting quietly outside the runway.
Tony has been missing for a whole month.
But today, they received news that Tony was back. Both of them were staring ahead with solemn expressions, especially Potts's face, which had a worried look.
After a while, a military plane arrived.
The hatch slowly opened and was laid on the ground. Then under the gaze of Potts and Hogan, the first person to walk out was a tall and handsome man.
"Huh? Not Tony."
They were stunned for a moment, and then saw the familiar figure.
Behind him, Tony slowly walked down the inclined ladder with the support of Dr. Ethan and Rody. His mental state was not very good.
"There's another woman?"
Potts murmured to herself, and a sexy woman appeared in her field of vision. She was walking behind Tony, and she looked dashing.
This made Potts frown secretly.
After getting off the plane, Tony first came to Pepper Potts. He stared at her with red eyes affectionately and said seriously: "The circles under your eyes are red. Are you sad for your missing boss?"
"I'm glad it saves me time to find a job."
The corners of Potts' mouth curved and he said happily.
"Yes, ready to work!"
Tony nodded with a serious expression on his face, then turned to look at Lin Yu and asked, "Mr. Lin, do you want to come with me?"
"Of course." Lin Yu nodded noncommittally.
When Potts saw this scene, he cast doubtful eyes on Colonel Roddy, but Roddy just shrugged, saying that he didn't know anything.
With Tony's character, there are not many people who can be called sir. And Roddy knew clearly that Tony had rejected Lin Yu's invitation.
This is even more worthy of thought.
"I have to go back to the bureau."
Natasha looked at Lin Yu with her beautiful eyes and said seriously.
"No problem, I'll contact you tonight."
"Yeah, I'll contact you tonight."
…
Tony then immediately contacted the press conference.
Lin Yu, Ethan, Tony and others took a Beetle and went to the press conference together. Natasha, on the other hand, went back to SHIELD to report to work.
Roddy, also returned to the army.
Stark Industries' partner, "Iron Overlord" Obadiah Stane was also outside the scene, waiting for Tony.
An hour later, outside the press conference.
"Look who's here!"
A burst of warm applause sounded outside the stadium. Obadiah took vigorous steps, opened the car door for Tony, and greeted: "Tony."
With that said, the two hugged each other.
"Should we start now?"
Obadiah let go of Tony and glanced at Lin Yu and the others behind him from the corner of his eye, with a meaningful smile flashing in his eyes.
"Start now."
Tony took the hamburger bought by driver Hogan and headed towards the infield while eating. After a month of suffering, Tony had made a decision in his mind.
In the infield, many reporters held microphones and cameras, and the entire infield was surrounded by water. This is enough to show that Tony, the head of Stark Industries, is very popular.
Of course, all this comes from money ability.
Lin Yu, Ethan, and Potts stood in a row, watching from the back as Tony took the stage to give a speech. Potts' face was filled with a happy smile.
"Hello, Miss Potts!"
At this moment, a man in formal attire appeared. He was of medium build and had kind eyes. He greeted Potts.
"Is something wrong?" Potts asked.
Lin Yu turned his head and immediately recognized the man's identity.
Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.—Phil Coulson.
However, he didn't seem to recognize Lin Yu.
"Can I talk to you?"
Coulson asked with a sincere expression.
After receiving the news that Tony had returned to China, he came here immediately. He was obviously very curious about Tony's escape.
"I won't participate."
Potts shook his head and refused with a smile: "If you have any questions, the press conference will start soon and Tony will answer you."
"I'm not a reporter. I'm Phil Colson, working in the Homeland Strategic Defense Attack and Logistics Support Agency." Colson continued.
"It's a bit of a mouthful," Potts laughed.
"I know, we are working hard to solve it." As he said that, Coulson handed Potts a business card with his identity information on it.
"The Department of Defense, the FBI, and the CIA have all contacted us..." Potts took the business card helplessly and sighed.
"We are an independent department and can only be more centralized. We would like Mr. Stark to describe the escape process in detail."
"I'll arrange it, okay?"
"Thank you!"
The conversation ended and Coulson walked to the other side.
He was communicating with Miss Potts from beginning to end and did not notice Lin Yu's existence. In other words, he did not know Lin Yu yet.
Looking at Colson's back, Dr. Ethan looked confused, looked at Lin Yu and asked: "Strategic Homeland Defense Attack and Logistics Support Bureau?"
"It's not a department." Lin Yu said lightly.
"Are you from the same place?"
Potts also reacted, looking surprised.
Because on the way here, Tony had already told her that Lin Yu was her benefactor, and it was obvious that someone who could be called sir by Tony was average.
But now, she discovered that it was not that simple.
"You can say that." Lin Yu shrugged, with an indifferent expression on his face, and said, "Let's talk again after the press conference is over, okay?"
"Okay, Mr. Lin."
Potts nodded, and then set his sights on Tony in front of him.
"When my father passed away, I was not able to see him for the last time. However, I have a question to ask him." In the front, Tony said with a serious expression while eating a burger.
Suddenly, his expression became extremely resolute, and he said calmly: "I want to ask him what his thoughts are on the production of arms. Has he ever been conflicted or wavered, or is he just a tough guy as reported by the media?"
"I saw young compatriots being killed by the very weapons I had built to protect them, and I also discovered that this system was comfortable with being irresponsible, and I became a part of it."
Listening to Tony's words, Obadiah had a bad feeling. He turned his head to look at Tony's serious expression and narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Mr. Stark, what happened to you there?" At this time, a young reporter picked up the microphone and asked.
Hearing the young reporter's question, Tony stood up suddenly and explained: "I completely woke up and realized that what I have to do for this world is to make more contributions, not just make explosive weapons."
"So, I have decided to close the weapons manufacturing department of Stark Enterprises, effective immediately from now on!" Tony's voice was neither loud nor quiet, but everyone heard it clearly.
The whole place became silent for a moment.
Lin Yu's clear eyes stared forward, and a smile gradually formed on the corner of his mouth. In his plan, Tony's growth was his primary concern.
From this moment on, Tony has grown up.
