Li Chuan initially wanted to pick a secretary from his subordinates who looked a bit more refined.
However, there was nothing he could do; everyone was excellent at killing and fighting, but when it came to secretarial work like handling documents and arranging itineraries, they were completely lost.
Instead, Xiao San, who looked the most intimidating among them, had a remarkable talent in this area, even comparable to a professional secretary, and he was very patient in his work.
This was actually good; at least, any minor characters who wanted to cause trouble would be deterred and wouldn't dare to act just by seeing Xiao San following him every day.
"Let's go, let's go! I want to see our new home quickly."
Wanda interrupted her brother and husband's conversation and excitedly walked ahead.
Li Chuan and Pietro, burdened with various bags and packages, helplessly followed closely behind.
"I say, little sister, do you really need to bring so many things? Didn't Li Chuan say that he had Jack buy everything we would need in advance?"
Pietro, carrying a backpack and pulling a suitcase with one hand, looked completely puzzled.
Because Li Chuan had told him in advance that everything was arranged, he only brought a backpack with some important items and nothing else.
"You wouldn't understand, being alone. There are many things here that hold memories of Li Chuan and me: gifts we exchanged on holidays, photos we took together, souvenirs, and so on. Those are absolutely essential to bring."
Wanda stopped, then turned around and saw Li Chuan carrying so many things with both hands. She immediately felt a pang of heartache and took some of the items from him.
Pietro felt as if two knives had instantly pierced his heart.
"Good thing I'm not living in the same house as you two. Looks like I need to find a girlfriend soon!"
Just then, four burly Security Captains suddenly appeared and blocked the trio's path. Pietro instinctively let go of his suitcase and shielded Li Chuan and Wanda behind him.
"Is there something wrong?"
The leading Security Captain grinned and said,
"I am the Security Captain of this community. You must be the new residents, correct?"
"Yes, we just moved in today."
Li Chuan replied with a smile.
"Welcome to the community. We offer free moving services for our new residents. Just leave your belongings to us."
The Security Captain waved his hand, and the three Security Captains behind him immediately stepped forward enthusiastically and took all of their luggage.
"Thank you then."
Pietro and Wanda were stunned, simultaneously thinking to themselves how excellent the service in this community was.
Thus, with the enthusiastic help of the community's Security Captains, all the luggage was quickly delivered to the two adjacent houses Li Chuan had purchased.
However, as the Security Captains were about to leave, Li Chuan quietly instructed the Security Captain:
"Xiao San, send someone to investigate Obadiah Stane, a shareholder of Stark Industries."
Indeed, this Security Captain was naturally one of his subordinates.
The difficulty of the mission to rescue Dr. Ethan was not the Terrorists; with his current strength, dealing with those Terrorists was not very difficult.
The difficulty was how to find their location.
Li Chuan only remembered that the Terrorists' Base seemed to be in a desert, but he didn't know the exact location.
However, while he didn't know, there was one person who definitely did: Obadiah Stane, a shareholder of Stark Industries.
Because it was he who hired the Terrorists to kill Tony Stark and seize control of the entire Stark Industries.
He just didn't expect the Terrorists to violate the agreement and not kill Tony, but instead try to use Tony to help them manufacture weapons.
In the early hours of the morning, as Li Chuan and Wanda slept embraced in their new home, an uninvited guest arrived outside the community gate.
Grant Ward, a Level 7 Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D., an operations and weapons expert. As a teenager, he was sent to a detention center for attempting to burn his brother and parents. Later, he was discovered by John Garrett and trained by him into a top-tier double Agent.
Two days ago, he received a mission from Garrett to secretly abduct Li Chuan, the chairman of Li's Group, and extract the Great Strength Pill formula from him to perfect the Death Soldier Project.
Originally, he planned to act directly in Sokovia, but after investigation, he discovered that Li Chuan was actually moving to New York with his wife, so he immediately changed his plan and set the operation location in New York.
The Li family had been entrenched in Sokovia for many years, and now under Li Chuan, they had entered a period of prosperity. It was not easy to silently abduct this wealthy individual in Sokovia.
Crucially, the explosion of the HYDRA Base in Sokovia caused a huge sensation and had not yet completely subsided. HYDRA's intelligence system in the area was still paralyzed.
In New York, it was different. He could utilize both S.H.I.E.L.D.'s intelligence and HYDRA's intelligence system, allowing him to formulate a perfect operational plan.
Just like now, even before Li Chuan arrived in New York to move in, he had already obtained the community where Li Chuan lived and the specific house number.
Although he didn't understand why the other party didn't choose a Villa but instead chose to live in an ordinary residential building, as of now, tonight was the best opportunity.
After checking all his tools, Grant started his car and drove towards the community gate.
His plan was simple: enter the community, park the car, go upstairs, pick the lock, infiltrate the room, knock out Li Chuan, put him in a box, then go downstairs, load him into the car, and take him to the HYDRA Base to interrogate him for information using a hypnosis device.
If all went smoothly, he might even be able to return Li Chuan before dawn; at most, he would wake up the next day with a slight headache.
"Something's wrong, these two Security Captains weren't in the intel!"
As he successfully entered the community using a pre-forged access card, Grant glanced at the two dozing Security Captains in the guard booth, and his pupils immediately constricted.
He had memorized all the security personnel data for this community yesterday: four middle-aged men, two elderly men. He knew their names, general experiences, and backgrounds clearly.
However, these two Security Captains, whose physiques alone were explosive, were not in the data at all.
"Is it a coincidence, or is it related to Li Chuan?"
Grant leaned towards the latter. It was too much of a coincidence that the Security Captains were changed on the very day Li Chuan moved in. However, he didn't abandon the mission because of this.
Even if the Security Captains were people arranged by Li Chuan, it wasn't a big problem.
Physical strength doesn't necessarily mean high combat power. As a top-tier operative, his combat skills were such that he could take down over a dozen ordinary burly men with his bare hands. If he carried weapons, it went without saying.
Furthermore, he wasn't planning a direct confrontation; he was merely infiltrating and would try his best not to be discovered by these Security Captains.
As Grant's car turned towards the parking lot, the two Security Captains who had been dozing in the guard room immediately got up, picked up their walkie-talkies, and reported:
"Brother San, a non-resident has entered the community. Black Chevrolet, license plate EVJ4329."
