What was that just now? Chinese Kung Fu?"
A shocked Happy walked in from outside, looking at the defeated soldiers on the ground, making a throwing card gesture, while pouting, "Chew chew chew chew chew chew..."
"Stop chewing, Little Li Flying Dagger, never misses, understand?"
Chu Yang complained in his hometown dialect, and Happy, who didn't understand, looked at him with a bewildered expression.
"I thought there were many people outside, but it turned out there were only two." A fat man in a coat smoking a cigar appeared on the second floor, surrounded by bodyguards. He looked around and then showed a surprised expression.
"Happy Hogan? We're old acquaintances, there's no need to deliver such a big gift to my doorstep, right?"
The fat man had a long, narrow scar under his right eye. When he narrowed his eyes, his entire face looked exceptionally ferocious.
The fat man took a deep breath, and a third of the cigar in his hand instantly disappeared. When he exhaled, his Da Zui spewed smoke like a steam train.
Happy asked, "Gustav, can we talk in private?"
Gustav was silent for a moment, then lowered his head to stare at Chu Yang, who was standing beside Happy, and then nodded, motioning for his bodyguards to leave temporarily.
Only three people remained in the empty bar.
"Gustav, you've made a lot of money in the arms black market over the years, thanks to Stark Industries."
"Happy, I know what you mean, but I really can't help you with this." Gustav shook his head.
"If Tony doesn't come back, do you think your business can continue?" Happy said.
"Alas…"
Gustav sighed deeply, as if he had something difficult to say.
Chu Yang knew that he must have been warned by Obadiah Stane. As a participant in the underground black market, it was impossible for Gustav and Obadiah not to have any dealings.
Happy stared at Gustav, "You have news of Tony, right?"
Gustav finished the remaining cigar in one breath, then forcefully smashed the cigarette butt on the ground, "Happy, Tony Stark has been kidnapped by local terrorists. He can't come back. What you're doing is a waste of effort, understand?"
Happy, however, asked coldly, "Where is he?"
"Oh, God!"
Gustav couldn't resist him, so he could only curse at the air, and then told him all the information he knew.
He had a transaction with the terrorists who kidnapped Tony Stark and knew their location, but he wasn't sure if they had moved.
"Don't tell anyone I told you!"
"Understood!"
Happy left contentedly with Chu Yang.
Afterward, Gustav's bodyguards reappeared on the second floor. Someone stood behind him and asked in a low voice, "Boss, why did you have to tell them? We could have just killed…"
"Killed what?!" Gustav glared at him and said angrily, "You've been with me for so many years and have no discernment! The young man standing next to Happy, do you think he's an ordinary person?"
"If I didn't tell him, he alone could kill all of us. He's very likely a mutant… Forget it!"
Gustav only said half of his sentence, his expression profound.
After learning Tony Stark's exact location, Happy was very excited and immediately called Pepper.
"Miss Potts, I've found out about Tony. Please arrange a plane for me!"
He was going to Afghanistan tonight to save Tony!
Pepper on the other end of the phone was pleasantly surprised, but after calming down, she said, "No, Happy, we have to notify the military and let them save Tony!"
"I don't trust those guys. I suspect someone is deliberately hiding information and doesn't want Tony to come back. I'm going to save him myself. Believe me, I met a powerful guy today, and I'm confident."
"A powerful guy? Who?! Happy, you can't entrust your life to someone you've known for less than twenty-four hours from the street!"
Chu Yang, listening through the phone, heard Pepper's complaint and secretly nodded. She made a lot of sense, but it was clear that Happy wasn't listening.
"Listen, Pepper, you can notify the military, or whoever you want, but I must go save Tony myself, damn it! If I had been by his side before, he would never have been kidnapped by any terrorists!"
Pepper heard the guilt in Happy's heart. What he had said before were all excuses; only this last sentence was true.
He deeply regretted not fulfilling his responsibility as a bodyguard!
"Alright then, I'll arrange a plane for you, but you have to promise me not to act recklessly, it will harm Tony!"
"I promise you, Pepper, I will definitely bring Tony back."
Chu Yang's head ached from listening, especially when Happy was madly setting up flags. He really wanted to sew Happy's mouth shut.
After hanging up the phone, Happy hailed a taxi on the roadside. After getting in, he found Chu Yang still standing outside and hurriedly shouted, "Get in quickly! We don't have time to waste now!"
Chu Yang looked at him with a troubled expression, "It should be off-work hours now. I know the United States of America is a capitalist country, but we should still respect labor laws…"
After speaking, Chu Yang turned and left. Happy's eyes widened. He hadn't expected this guy to actually plan on going off duty!
"F*ck!" Happy quickly got out of the car and grabbed Chu Yang, "You're not going to make me go to Afghanistan alone, are you?"
Chu Yang rolled his Byakugan, "You were planning to go alone anyway."
"That was before I met you. Now I must take you with me! If it weren't for you today, I would probably have been shot full of holes!"
"Taking me to Afghanistan will also get you shot full of holes!"
"I believe you can protect me and Tony!"
"Bullshit! Can a pistol and an RPG be confused? One shot, and all three of us will be blown to dust!"
"Tell me, what will it take for you to agree to go to Afghanistan with me?"
"You need to pay more!"
Happy: "…"
Chu Yang said, "I'm just a bodyguard. For that little salary, going to Afghanistan with you to face terrorists, doesn't your conscience hurt?"
When Chu Yang said this, Happy's conscience did indeed ache a little. He and Tony were good friends and could go to any lengths to rescue him, but Chu Yang had no such obligation.
"How about double salary?"
"Heh heh!"
"Triple!"
"Tsk tsk~~~"
"Five times!"
"Tsk tsk…"
"Ten times!"
Happy's eyes were red. If Chu Yang didn't agree, he might just bite someone.
"Deal!"
Chu Yang showed a hearty smile.
"Leaving now?"
"It's off-work hours, let's talk tomorrow."
An enraged Happy let out a roar that shocked the entire street!
"F*ck!"
…
Afghanistan.
This area belongs to a subtropical arid climate, which is dry and has little rain year-round, with harsh winters and scorching summers.
And the current season is precisely when the heat value is highest.
Even sitting inside the plane, Chu Yang could feel the temperature rising sharply.
Happy, the big fat man, was already drenched in sweat.
As far as the eye could see, besides the desert, there were only vast rugged mountains, making it difficult for the plane to find a safe landing spot.
Continuing to fly forward would easily alarm the terrorists who kidnapped Tony Stark, and they would directly blast them with cannons.
"Get ready, we're parachuting out."
"What?"
"Damn it, if we fly any further, we'll be right in their home!"
Happy hurriedly took out the map and carefully compared it. After understanding, he pressed the intercom button on the seat to contact the pilot in the cockpit, preparing to do as Chu Yang said.
But for some reason, the pilot did not respond to Happy and was still flying straight ahead.
Happy anxiously pressed it several more times, "Damn it, it broke down at this critical moment!"
"Broke down my ass, it's completely screwed!" Chu Yang whistled, "They're clearly trying to send us into a trap. We've been set up, idiot."
"Set up?" Happy stared with wide eyes, revealing clear stupidity.
Chu Yang reminded him, "The problem isn't the military, it's within your Stark Industries. Someone in the higher echelons wants Tony Stark to die in Afghanistan!"
"Last night, that lady named Pepper, besides notifying the military, must have also notified a certain high-ranking executive of the group. The news leaked, and we naturally suffered as well. They plan to send us to reunite with Tony Stark, and they won't be suspected."
Happy slammed his fist heavily on the seat. Even he, as slow as he was, understood the implication of Chu Yang's words. The other party was practically naming names.
"What do we do now? The cockpit is separated by bulletproof material. We can't open it from the outside."
Happy paced anxiously in the cabin.
Chu Yang walked to the cockpit door and, with a few punches, the door made of special material was completely deformed.
Happy froze in place, then slowly gave a thumbs up.
The pilot behind the door was greatly alarmed and fumbled to pull out his gun, but Chu Yang punched him in the temple, and his helmet along with his eyeballs exploded.
The co-pilot was so scared he peed himself, trembling as he raised his hands, indicating he had no intention of resisting.
Seeing this, Chu Yang immediately roared, "Hold the control stick! F*ck!"
The co-pilot quickly grabbed the control stick.
"Where are the parachutes?"
"Right under our seats."
