The traveling frog is living a carefree life in the Marvel universe.

Jianyi felt a wave of despair wash over her.

These bastards ruined all her years of hard work!

Suddenly.

A Chevrolet Camaro blocked the path of the S.H.I.E.L.D. vehicle.

Bai Ye's head popped out of the car window, revealing a dangerous smile:

"Coulson, you bastard, you actually stole my girlfriend's things while I was away. Isn't that going too far?"

###Chapter 104 I Feel Like I've Always Been Living in His Shadow###

"Wow, Jane, it's that handsome guy from the bar last time!" Daisy tugged at Jane's clothes, her eyes shining. "Did you call him?"

Even if she couldn't taste the meat, just looking at Bai Ye's face, which brought tears to her eyes, was wonderful!

Jane shook her head: "No, I don't know either. Why would he suddenly want to come to New Mexico?"

"He seems to know that bald guy. Could you ask him to plead for my iPad back?"

Daisy said.

Coulson and his gang took all of Jane and her friends' electronic devices, including Daisy's iPad, which had just been used to download over thirty songs.

“This… let’s forget it.” Jian hesitated for a moment and said, “Those electronic devices are just external things. We can’t let Bai Ye get into a conflict with them; he’ll easily suffer a loss.”

Well, how can some external things compare to something internal like Bai Ye?

Selvig sighed. Daisy was still too young; she actually wanted that young man to help her get Daisy back.

In the face of a violent machine like S.H.I.E.L.D., ordinary individuals have no bargaining power whatsoever—unless you're a high-ranking military officer or a senior U.S. government official, in which case it might be a different story.

however……

"Mr. Bai Ye?"

Colson was very surprised that he could see the White Nights in New Mexico.

However, Coulson was speechless after hearing Bai Ye's words.

Why is it your girlfriend again?

You have girlfriends everywhere you go; don't you have way too many girlfriends?

The Hammer incident came very suddenly.

Of course, it was impossible for Coulson to investigate all the women involved in the case in such a short time, to find out if they were connected to Bai Ye...

"Miss Foster, is she also your girlfriend?"

Coulson had a premonition that it was one thing to be unfamiliar with someone before, but now, wherever he went to investigate a case, he would probably meet a new girlfriend named Bai Ye.

Depend on!

How are we supposed to handle cases in the future?

I feel like I've always been living in his shadow!

Jane is definitely my girlfriend.

Bai Ye glanced at Coulson with annoyance. Girlfriend is girlfriend, why the "also"? Are you afraid I won't die fast enough?

"So, your S.H.I.E.L.D. violated the U.S. Constitution's principle that private property is sacred and inviolable by taking my girlfriend's things. Isn't that going too far?"

"Ah, this..."

Coulson hesitated.

Bai Ye has a terrible temper; if you push him too far, he'd even dare to storm the White House lawn. Last time, if Bai Ye hadn't displayed extraordinary strength, unparalleled speed, and long-range attack capabilities, and if it weren't for the protection of S.H.I.E.L.D., the occupant of the White House certainly wouldn't have let it go so easily, because America has always pursued absolute security.

The obsession with "absolute security" has a long history in the United States, closely related to its geographical environment, historical experience, and ideology. Geographically, the US enjoys natural protection from two oceans, and its northern and southern neighbors are relatively weak, ensuring relatively stable domestic security. Historically, the US has placed great emphasis on defending its borders, a key reason for its participation in World War I and World War II, and a major justification for its continued international intervention after the Cold War. Ideologically, the US considers itself "God's chosen people" and aims to continuously promote liberal democracy worldwide, actively building a liberal and democratic international order. For the US, achieving "absolute security" requires creating an "invincible" environment, meaning other countries must not only be unable to pose a security threat in terms of strength, but also maintain ideological consistency with the US. This consensus is significantly reflected in two aspects: first, convergent values; and second, fundamentally similar political systems.

Unfortunately, the United States may not understand that achieving "absolute security" requires not only cooperation with allies and partners but also maintaining a strategic balance. Philosophically speaking, "absolute security" is nonexistent; it's a luxury no country can afford. America's pursuit of it is akin to the ancient Chinese monarchs' quest for immortality through alchemy. America's political elites have lost their clarity; they seem to have gone astray on the question of "who America is."

"Then can we copy Miss Foster's research?"

Coulson sighed and said.

According to S.H.I.E.L.D. rules, Jane's research should have been confiscated and not allowed to be disseminated, because this contradicted S.H.I.E.L.D.'s original intention of protecting ordinary people from the influence of the supernatural world.

But he still compromised.

There's nothing we can do about it; Jane Foster's boyfriend is Bai Ye.

This is someone capable of flattening their Trident Building, the headquarters of S.H.I.E.L.D., in a single blow.

"Jane, what do you think?"

Bai Ye looked at Jian and said.

"what?"

Jane seemed to be suddenly awakened, somewhat incredulous:

"Is it even possible to get my equipment back?"

After Coulson had just ignored his insults and let him rant and rave, Selvig quietly gave her a little crash course in the science of SHIELD.

Execution first, notification later, a privilege granted by imperial authority.

The FBI within the FBI, the CIA within the CIA.

Jane had already resigned herself to her fate.

Unexpectedly, things took a turn for the better. Because of Bai Ye's appearance, he only said a few words to the bald man, and the bald man agreed to return his equipment to him?

Is Selvig lying to himself?

She turned around and glanced back.

Selvig stared in disbelief, speechless.

According to the information he had, S.H.I.E.L.D. was indeed very domineering and tough. Some scientists would simply disappear without a trace, vanishing into thin air. But why would S.H.I.E.L.D. give face to that seemingly young and handsome boy?

Could these be fake S.H.I.E.L.D. members?

“Of course you can,” Bai Ye said. “Not only can you get it back, but you can also refuse their request to copy your research!”

"After all... these studies are the fruits of your labor, you can do with them however you want."

“Mr. White Night, please don’t make things difficult for me.” Coulson said with a wry smile, “I’ve already taken a great risk by deciding to return these devices to Miss Foster. If I can’t even get the data that satisfies our internal research at S.H.I.E.L.D., our director will definitely dismiss me.”

"It's not like I'm being dismissed, what am I afraid of?" Bai Ye said. "Besides, it's wrong of your S.H.I.E.L.D. to just rob other people's things like that. I'm helping you correct this bad habit, you should thank me!"

"Jane, it's up to you whether or not to let them copy your research data."

Coulson sighed.

Previously, he and Bai Ye had a pretty good relationship, but a series of unexpected events caused them to drift apart again.

They couldn't even bring themselves to ask Bai Ye for a favor!

"This……"

Jane hesitated.

Which scientist would want to give away a copy of their hard work for no reason?

But S.H.I.E.L.D. is a violent organization...

She was worried that if things got too tense with S.H.I.E.L.D., she might face retaliation in the future.

Although she was a female PhD from Yale University and had a high social status, that status was too hollow. It would be too easy for a violent organization to make her appear to have committed suicide.

“Miss Foster, please don’t be so dismissive!” Coulson quickly said to Jane, “Your research data is very important to us. We are investigating an incident that concerns the security of the entire American homeland and we need your research. We can offer you a considerable licensing fee.”

"OK then."

Jane nodded in agreement and said:

"But you are not allowed to spread my research indiscriminately."

if not?

Jane wasn't a strong-willed person; she was just a female PhD student who was passionate about scientific research and didn't want to offend anyone too much.

Besides, Jane has been studying astrophysics for many years. Although she has some research funding and is not poor, she is not rich either. Being able to get a research grant is a happy thing!

"Rest assured, S.H.I.E.L.D. will only use this information for internal research."

Coulson nodded.

And so.

The S.H.I.E.L.D. agents who had just moved Jane's equipment and data out had to move them back.

"Bai Ye, you really came?"

Jane stood in front of Bai Ye, smoothed her hair, and said:

"I thought you were joking with me!"

"How incredibly boring do you think I must be to joke with you about something like this?"

Bai Ye said with a smile:

"It's fortunate that I came, otherwise, your equipment and data would have been stolen, and you wouldn't even have a place to cry."

Jane: "Thank you."

"Why are you being so polite between us?"

Bai Ye reached out and patted Jian's head, smiling slightly.

Jane is certainly very knowledgeable and good-looking, but she is quite short.

He patted Jane's head like he would a little girl.

"Handsome, do you remember me?"

Daisy jumped out from the side, greeted him with a grin, and handed Bai Ye a glass of fruit juice:

"We met at the bar last time."

Bai Ye took the fruit juice Daisy handed him and nodded, saying:

"Of course I remember, you're Jane's student, Daisy!"
