Councilman Paul inquired.
There are many political parties in the American political arena, and the Paul in front of him is the hostile force of the Koch family, used to make things difficult for Li Chengqian.
"March 3th? Sorry, it's been such a long time, I can't remember clearly."
I see. The Iron Man armor must have been exposed. March 3th was the day when Laura wore it to travel between America and England.
"Okay, let me help you recall. Do you know this woman?"
Paul questioned the head of the Koch family while chatting and laughing. At this moment, he felt that his life had reached its peak.
"Laura? She was busy riding those days... I didn't expect she looked so handsome on a horse."
Laughter
There were not many people who came to this hearing, but they were all senior military and government officials, middle-aged people who understood what Li Chengqian had not said.
"So you admit that you knew her?"
"Of course, I had a great time with her."
Li Chengqian raised his head slightly, looking as if he was lost in memories.
"Mr. Koch, please stop your reverie; do you know the identity of this woman?"
"Identity, oh I know, she is an archaeologist, and it is said that her father is a noble. It suits my taste very well."
Li Chengqian has the face of a playboy.
"She is the eleventh-generation Countess of the Crawford family. She currently works for MI6 and has the power to meet directly with the Queen of England."
"MI6, another female agent lurking around me? Okay, but I'm used to it."
Li Chengqian looked heartbroken and as if he was used to it.
"Mr. Koch, can you explain to me what this is?"
Paul pulled up a photo of a mechanical armor landing in Hanbaijin and asked Li Chengqian.
"This is the prosthetic arm I made in the lab a few months ago. Isn't it cool?"
"Did you do this?"
Paul asked the question that most people at the hearing were most concerned about.
"Of course, I started making circuit boards myself when I was ten years old..."
Li Chengqian began to memorize Teacher Tony's life resume.
"But I don't have any record of you attending MIT."
When Li Chengqian was reciting how many degree certificates he had, Paul interrupted him rudely.
"As you know, he doesn't like my skin color, so..."
"William, old Koch cared about you and loved you, he just didn't know how to express it; even on the day he died, he kept holding my hand, asking me to take good care of you."
Li Chengqian was not fighting alone. Seeing how frustrated he was, Hammer, an elderly Koch family staunch supporter, immediately stood up to support him.
"General Hammer, are we holding a hearing?"
"It's a hearing, but William is not a suspect; Councillor Paul, I hope you understand who you are talking to..."
Having reached retirement age, Hammer no longer has any ambitions to move up, and instead speaks and acts with a certain recklessness.
"General Hammer, are you threatening me?"
"If you think so, I have no objection."

"Be quiet. We are only conducting a routine inquiry for the benefit of the great United States. We have no ill intentions. Senator Paul, please be mindful of your attitude."
Li Chengqian's armor has never demonstrated its combat effectiveness, and naturally, all parties cannot insist that it is a weapon, so the criticism he faces is actually much smaller than that of Teacher Tony.
"Mr. Koch, did you know that on March 3, Laura Crawford used the prosthetic limbs you mentioned to cross the border?"
"Crossing the border, isn't it? Laura just wore it to fly for a few hours. By the way, after she came back, she showed me her archaeological collection over the years. We were just communicating normally between boyfriend and girlfriend."
Li Chengqian continued to play dumb.
"I would like to ask you, Mr. Koch, what is the flying speed of this prosthetic limb you mentioned? How long can it last? What kind of power source does it use?"
"Senator Paul, this set of prosthetic limbs is just a custom-made one for me. I have no intention of putting it on the shelves of Koch Industries, so there is no need for me to answer your questions, right?"
Again, it is not a weapon, nor is it a product on the shelf, and no one can say anything about its existence.
"But it is an indisputable fact that Laura Croft used it to illegally enter and exit the country. According to the law, we have the right to confiscate this set of prosthetic limbs?"
"Of course, I have no objection to your saying so; but when I separated from Laura last time, I saw that she liked this set of artificial limbs very much, so I gave it to her; if you want to discuss the confiscation, you should go to England to find her."
coax
As soon as Li Chengqian finished speaking, the hearing fell into noise again.
"William Koch, how could you give this groundbreaking creation to that female agent? It belongs to the great America."
"No, she belongs to me, it's my private collection."
The two of them were answering irrelevant questions, so naturally they couldn't have a conversation.
The hearing ultimately came to nothing, but with its end, Li Chengqian's image of high IQ and low EQ began to spread slowly in upper class society.
Of course, there are also various labels such as his amorous personality, his willingness to spend a lot of money to pick up girls, and his easy attraction to female agents.
Chapter 292 They are all plotting
非洲
In a tribe near Mount Kilimanjaro, because Laura got the golden ball directly from Li Chengqian, she arrived here earlier than in the original drama.
"Entering the cradle of life without permission will bring death to the whole world..."
The chief of the tribe advised Laura again and again according to the ancestral teachings.
"This is my mission. From the day the Moon Temple reappeared, protecting Pandora's Box has been my mission. The Cradle of Life is no longer safe. I want to take it to a place that is more suitable for it."
Laura showed the golden ball and said unmoved.
"Moon Goddess..."
African tribes always have various myths and prophecies. The way Laura holds the golden ball high is exactly the image of the moon goddess that has been circulating in the tribe.
"God's messenger, I will send the strongest and bravest warriors of the tribe to accompany you into the cradle of life and complete your mission."
The old chief also knelt on the ground and said devoutly.
So, under the arrangement of the tribal chief, early the next morning, Laura, her companions, and a dozen tribal warriors set out on the journey to explore the cradle of life.
Because she had a premonition that the journey into the cradle of life would not be smooth, Laura put on the Mark III armor at the beginning.
"This armor is really cool, Laura. Why would William Koch allow you to use it?"
Bryce, a science and engineering guy, was fascinated by the armor when he first met it in Beverly Hills.
"What do you say?"
Laura smiled charmingly.
"Well, I should have thought of it earlier. No one can resist your charm."
Bryce spread his hands and hunched his shoulders.
As the two were talking, neither of them noticed Sheridan's gloomy face behind them.
In the evening, the large group arrived at the entrance of a huge canyon.
"God's messenger, the entrance to the Cradle of Life is ahead. I suggest you rest overnight and enter tomorrow morning..."
"Okay, then you arrange for people to camp first, and we'll set off on time at 7 o'clock tomorrow morning."
Who knows what will appear in this bottomless canyon at night. For safety reasons, Laura agreed to the other party's suggestion.
When it comes to surviving in the African desert, the other party is clearly a professional; setting up camp, hunting and cooking, all in an orderly manner.
…………
At night, unlike everyone else who shared a tent, Laura, the only woman, was treated preferentially as a messenger of God.
"You're still busy tomorrow, you shouldn't come to me now."
Without even opening her eyes to see, Laura knew which dog had let the cat into her tent.
"Laura, I think we should have a good talk about whether you made any deal with William Koch."
The person who came was Sheridan, a bootlicker who had a past relationship with Laura.
"This is not your concern. Help me get Pandora's Box tomorrow, and I will help you get a pardon from the Queen."
"How much did William Koch offer? Tell me, maybe I can find a better buyer."
Sheridan, who was born in the slums, is quite pragmatic and believes that the value of nothing cannot be measured by money.
"What makes you think I would make a deal with William for money?"
Laura felt insulted by Sheridan's words;
My love and devotion to my Master is unrequited.
"William? Could it be that you really like him? Is Lucky as strong as me? Can he satisfy you?"
Sheridan said as he moved closer to Laura, the real adventure would begin tomorrow and before that he wanted to relax.
Snapped
Although she had taken off the iron armor, the gloves of the armor were still on her hands. Laura used a pulse cannon at Sheridan.
"You've tasted this stuff, make sure you want it again."
Considering that she would need him again tomorrow, Laura did not kill him, but only shot him once in the open space near Sheridan.
“NO, NO, Laura, don’t get excited, I have no ill intentions, I just want to play a little joke on you.”
Sheridan really didn't want to experience the sour taste of the pulse cannon again, and he stepped back in fear.
"Get out of my tent..."
I was so blind that I fell in love with such a thing in the first place.
"Laura, you have changed..."
Sheridan babbled non-stop and walked out of the tent in a rage.
…………
In a cave one kilometer away, Chen Luo and Chen Jie from the Shuiling Gang were observing everything here through drones and monitors.
"Remind me tomorrow to cut off his head. I think someone will offer a good price for it."
Chen Luo pointed at Sheridan on the screen and said to his brother Chen Jie.
"yes, Sir."
Kill two birds with one stone
Thinking of the huge returns from the last transaction, Chen Jie was left with only deep admiration for his elder brother.
.........
Coincidentally
The mantis catches the cicada, and the oriole is behind.
Ten kilometers away, in a tactical vehicle, Rice and his team members were observing the two groups.
"I really admire your courage, Chen Luo, for daring to leave me behind and deal directly with the Koch family..."
Rice said fiercely as he looked at the Chen brothers in the picture.
"Chief, they are well-equipped with firepower. We may not be able to gain an advantage in a head-on confrontation."
"The strongest fortresses are often breached from the inside. Don't worry, when the time comes to use firepower, I guarantee they won't even have the strength to grab a gun."
When the mercenary leader thought that Rice could monitor the Chen brothers so openly, he immediately thought that there must be one of his own people inside the Shuiling Gang, so he didn't say anything more.
"Charles, although you are dead, your son is still alive; William Koch, the day I get Pandora's Box will be the day for me to take revenge on your Koch family."
