American Comics: The Invincible Wheel of Fortune

"It's not that I don't like Obadiah Stane, I just think his reaction is a bit strange."

Aaron organized his words in his mind and slowly said to Coulson: "Maybe he is too tough-minded? I didn't hear how sad and anxious he was about Tony Stark's misfortune."

"You know, the comments from the outside world are that these two people are not only business partners, but also as close as a family."

"I always feel that Obadiah is more concerned about the Stark Group. He has the attitude of a man in power, and maybe he is responsible and responsible, but I always feel a little... secretly happy?"

Colson didn't express his opinion, just nodded and listened carefully.

Aaron continued: "Sorry, maybe I think too much and it's all my misunderstanding, but let's think about it from another angle. If something goes wrong with Tony Stark, who is most likely to benefit?"

Coulson added: "A business competitor of Stark Group?"

Aaron nodded and replied: "This is inevitable, but there are not no interests within the Stark Group."

"The interests of the group and the interests of individuals seem to be one, but in fact there are still differences. It is not impossible for the group to suffer heavy losses and individuals to benefit."

Colson nodded and replied: "Well, that's conceivable, and it's not ruled out as a possibility."

Aaron continued: "And it's not just about money, but also about emotional issues. What people show and what they really think in their hearts are never the same, and it's not impossible to even be polar opposites."

"Is Obadiah really willing to always be second best, suppressed by two generations of Starks, unable to prove himself?"

Coulson also continued to say that Aron made sense: "Hmm, taking charge of a damaged Stark group and being the person who speaks the truth may be better than being subordinate to others and not receiving honor and power... This can also be listed as one of the motives.”

Aaron continued: "But this is all speculation on our part and has no basis in fact. What I am trying to say is, maybe we can increase the priority of Obadiah's investigation?"

Coulson did not answer directly, but said: "It's not that Obadiah doesn't know about the existence of SHIELD."

Aaron nodded and replied: "Hmm, the behavior of Howard Stark's best friend shows that there is some unknown reason."

Coulson pouted: "So Obadiah doesn't completely ignore us. It just depends on what he does next. As for the direction of the investigation, there may be some information soon."

"Speaking of which, maybe Obadiah's actions have already been taken."

Aaron glanced at the rearview mirror again, raised his eyebrows and said, "We are not going back to the hotel. You have already noticed it, right... How should we deal with this stalker? Control it or get rid of it?"

"Get away, don't alert the other party, I'll have someone check the car I'm following."

Colson didn't want to alert the enemy, so he put the gear into gear and stepped on the accelerator. He turned the steering wheel suddenly, and the car immediately swerved, turned sharply, and accelerated away.

Somewhere in the suburbs of Los Angeles, the California branch of S.H.I.E.L.D.

It is not as grand as the headquarters, but the conditions are equally good, with advanced facilities and fully staffed personnel.

It's like New York, the most prosperous city in the United States, one in the east and one in the west, each saying that one is first and the other is second.

It is naturally equally important to SHIELD and requires a lot of investment.

Aaron and Coulson were in a conference room, and there was also a gentle technician.

This is an information analyst from the intelligence department here at the branch, and he is here to deliver a piece of information to the two of them about the person they were just following.

"The mercenaries of the North African private armed group "White Wolf" were very alert and cautious. After being shaken off by the two, they immediately disposed of the vehicle and then lurked and disappeared. Only the photos taken by the traffic camera proved their identity. ."

After the analyst explained it to the two of them, Coulson smiled and said to him: "Thank you, Agent Bourne, you go ahead."

Aaron continued: "We won't be able to find out more in a short period of time, and we won't be able to implicate that person."

Aaron said this, but he had a guess in his heart. In the original plot, the people of the Ten Rings Gang learned that the target to be assassinated was actually the arms research and development genius Tony Stark. They changed it to a hijacking, and then Tony escaped. The Ten Rings Gang suffered losses. He used this to blackmail Obadiah and demand more benefits, but was silenced by Obadiah.

If you guessed correctly, this should be the private armed force in Obadiah's hands.

Aaron asked again: "Is there any news from Barbara? Is there any progress?"

"No, you also know that the various situations there, humanistic, geographical, and political factors are extremely complex. It is too difficult to find the hiding place of the Ten Rings Gang."

Coulson frowned and shook his head, with a hint of worry on his face. It had been more than 12 hours since Tony Stark disappeared.

If he had been hijacked, there should have been contact a long time ago, but now, to some extent, he hopes that Tony Stark is hijacked. At least this way it can be confirmed that the person is still alive and his life safety is temporarily guaranteed.

Aaron then asked, "So what do we do next?"

Colson did not answer directly, but asked: "If it were you, if it was determined that Obadiah Stane was a suspect, how would you investigate?"

Aaron has shown suspicion of Obadiah from the beginning. Coulson may be thinking that the longer the delay is, the more detrimental it will be to Tony Stark's safety. He is already preparing to step up the investigation. Intensity.

Aaron thought for a while and said: "Follow the money, the person can't be found, and we can trace the flow of funds."

This sentence originally came from a movie called "All the President's Men". It said that if you want to find out some secret, just follow the money.

The police often say this when solving crimes, either follow the feelings or follow the money.

These two are always the biggest motives for crime.

Aaron continued: "It's just a matter of time. There may be some problems. This is the second-in-command of the Stark Group we are talking about, and now he has become the person in charge of the Stark Group."

"And now Obadiah must have become wary of us. We must be careful, otherwise it may be counterproductive."

After listening, Colson pondered for a moment, and finally nodded in agreement, and said in a deep voice: "I think it is feasible, but as you said, this is of great importance. I will report to the director immediately to reflect the situation here and see how the director does. arrange."

You have been thinking about it for a long time, thinking about how to report to Black Braised Egg.

Thinking about it, secretly investigating Obadiah is indeed no small matter, especially when there is no solid evidence.

But considering the importance that a grown-up has on Tony Stark, it shouldn't be a big problem, right?
