Marvel: Just became a citizen of the motherland, and S.H.I.E.L.D. came knocking on my door.

"The location of the laboratory needs to be determined first, and we also need to have enough experimental materials to conduct drug research."

"And the most crucial thing is obtaining funds."

"Because conducting such biological research requires a massive amount of various materials and supplies, all of which require substantial financial support..."

As a former military experimenter, I know all too well how expensive research like this really is!

Now, after listening to Dr. Banner's explanation, Levi tapped his fingers on the table, his eyes showing deep thought.

Therefore, is it necessary to build a sufficient experimental site for the research and development of compound five...?

But which one should I choose?

Li Wei pondered.

Furthermore, there is the issue of money. How can this be resolved?

After all, even though he has now joined S.H.I.E.L.D., S.H.I.E.L.D. will not fund his experimental research.

Moreover, the development of Compound V needs to be kept as secret as possible and must not be known to S.H.I.E.L.D.

Otherwise, if the matter of compound five is leaked, it will only cause more trouble.

After all, S.H.I.E.L.D. is now full of traitors and Hydra's spies everywhere.

Where should he find a sufficient source of money...? Just as Li Wei was pondering a suitable candidate.

At this moment, a news briefing was playing on the television in the living room, and the content of the news briefing was being reported on the television program.

Li Wei's eyes suddenly lit up.

A news brief indicates that an international formula racing competition will be held soon at the Monte Carlo circuit in Morocco.

Many dignitaries and important figures will attend.

The program also showcased the venues and locations for Formula One races.

If I remember correctly, this means the story of Iron Man 2 is about to begin.

Tony will participate in this Formula One race, but during the race, he is attacked by Whiplash "Ivan" and is almost killed by Ivan.

Then, after Tony subdued and defeated Whiplash, he imprisoned him in jail.

Whiplash was later rescued by Justin Hammer of Hammer Industries, Stark Industries' arch-rival and arms dealer.

After Whiplash used Hammer Industries' resources to develop and manufacture the same steel armor, he fought Tony to the death.

Later, with the combined efforts of Tony and Captain Rhodes, who were essentially the war machine, they defeated Whiplash.

And then Justin Hammer was also imprisoned, thus ending the story of Iron Man 2.

"Justin Hammer..."

Li Wei's eyes flickered; he remembered this sucker from the plot of Iron Man 2.

Originally, after rescuing Whiplash, the funding was intended for him to conduct research so that he could help develop and manufacture the same steel armor to rival Tony.

However, Whiplash turned the tables and used him to secretly replace all the steel armor he manufactured with his own commands.

Then, at Hammer Industries' open arms exhibition, an attack was launched on Tony, causing numerous civilian casualties.

This led to Justin Hammer's imprisonment and Hammer Industries' subsequent bankruptcy.

"Perhaps this guy is the perfect opportunity, the perfect target..."

Li Wei thought of it.

He's naive, rich, and has no special abilities; he's just an ordinary business tycoon, undoubtedly the easiest to control!

So, Levi had already chosen it as his target and said to Dr. Banner with a smile.

"Doctor, I think... the issues regarding the construction and development of the laboratory, as well as the source of funding, should be resolved soon."

......

Then, naturally, things began to unfold according to the storyline of Iron Man 2.

Ivan secretly developed a whip-like weapon and then attacked Tony, who was participating in the Formula One World Championship, in Morocco.

After Tony defeated him, Whiplash was rescued by Hammer Industries and developed a suit to fight Iron Man.

Later, at a weapons exhibition in New York, Whiplash used all the steel suits that had been developed and manufactured to attack Tony and exact revenge.

Then the situation got out of control, and Whiplash was defeated by Tony and the War Machines, and died in the explosion.

Justin Hammer was taken away by New York police and detained in jail, thus ending the matter.

......

New York, prison, inside a cold detention center cell.

Justin Hammer sat on the floor of the room, looking dejectedly at the pale white light above him, with an expression of utter despair.

He knew he was finished.

At a publicly held weapons launch event, the company's own steel combat suits attacked so many private schools, causing countless casualties.

Now, Hammer Industries has become a target of criticism from various media outlets.

And with their arch-rival Stark Industries relentlessly pursuing them, Hammer Industries, along with itself, is now completely finished.

With his arrest and imprisonment, it is believed that the Federal Police's investigation into Hammer Industries will soon begin.

The fate of Hammer Industries awaits, its future uncertain.

I am also suspected of endangering public safety and I don't know when I will be able to get out... Of course, it is also possible that I will never get out.

But I'm really... so unwilling!

I never expected to be tricked by that beast, Whip Chain, and fall into his hands... That beast!

Justin Hammer gritted his teeth at the thought of this guy from Russia.

But even if I'm unwilling to accept it, what can I do? I'm completely finished now, locked up in prison, and can't do anything about it.

We can only wait here quietly to die.

Just then, the prison doors suddenly opened.

At the same time, a tall and imposing figure was striding towards his room.

Then it quickly stopped in front of its own cell.

Chapter 36: The Exchange with Nick Fury? Rescue Hammer Industries and Seize Control of the Company!

Upon seeing the muscular figure standing in front of his cell, Justin Hammer paused for a moment and subconsciously asked.

"Hello, may I ask... who are you?"

“Fatherlander, Li Wei, someone who can help you get out of here.”

Standing before the cell now is Li Wei, a native of New York who has come to visit Justin Hammer in prison.

"What? You're saying you can help me get out of here?" Upon hearing Levi's words, Justin Hammer's expression tightened, and he quickly asked, "You...you're telling the truth?"

"Of course it's true, but you need to agree to one condition: transfer 51% of Hammer Industries' shares to me free of charge, and I need to serve as the CEO of Hammer Industries, having the final say in company affairs."

"What? This..."

Justin Hammer was dumbfounded when he heard the conditions that Levi Strauss had so readily agreed to.

He immediately demanded a 51% controlling stake in his own company and the position of CEO of Hammer Industries?

This is practically handing over Hammer Industries to someone else, which is almost like giving it away for free!

“Mr. Justin, you can choose to refuse, but I want to tell you that even if you refuse my conditions, what better outcome would you have than being imprisoned?”

Seeing Justin Hammer's hesitant and uncertain expression, Levi spoke in a calm voice.

"It is foreseeable that once the Federal Police Investigation Bureau finds you guilty of the charges, your Hammer Industries will be leaderless."

"And they will also face criticism from the news media and injured civilians, as well as substantial compensation."

"Besides, do you think Stark Industries would let such a good opportunity slip by and allow its competitors to live?"

"Accept the terms I offer now, and at least I can save your life, save your company, and restore your freedom, getting you out of prison where you'll be imprisoned until you die."

"After you leave, you can still live the life of a billionaire as before, and enjoy the company's daily profit sharing. At the same time, you can still make decisions on the company's daily management."

"However, when it comes to major company decisions, they can only be implemented with my permission."

"Isn't this a much better choice than waiting to die in prison? You can't do anything if you stay in prison."

"Besides, it may seem like I've made a lot of money, but at this critical juncture, under such immense public pressure, is it not a small risk to pull you out of here, Mr. Justin? If you don't agree to my proposal, you will lose everything. But now, you have a chance to at least keep half of the company's assets."

"..."

Upon hearing Li Wei's words, Justin Hammer fell silent, his expression conflicted and hesitant.

However, after much internal deliberation, faced with the conditions set by Li Wei, and now trapped in his predicament, what right did he have to choose?

At least by agreeing to their demands, he could preserve Hammer Industries and regain his freedom.

As long as we can get out of here... there is still hope for the future, which is better than being unable to do anything here!

"So, after thinking about it," Justin Hammer said.

"I...I accept your request! But...you can get me out of here, right?"

Justin Hammer confirmed again.

After all, the public opinion surrounding such a large-scale incident involving casualties had a significant impact, and I was worried about the other party's capabilities.

“Of course, no problem. I am a native of the motherland, Li Wei. There is nothing on this planet that I cannot do.”

Levi said with a smile, and then, before leaving, he spoke to Justin Hammer.

"Alright, Mr. Justin, your pardon should arrive at the prison by this time tomorrow."

"Cherish your last night of rest in prison, for tomorrow you will be free!"

After saying that, Li Wei turned and left, and his figure quickly disappeared into the corridor.

......

Twenty minutes later.

Manhattan, S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters, the Tri-Wing Building, inside Nick Fury's director's office.

"Help me find someone." Li Wei said directly after pushing open the door to the office.

Upon hearing Li Wei's voice, the bald man with braised eggs behind the desk looked up, his other eye, covered by an eye patch, staring at Li Wei in surprise, and asked.

"Who are you going to catch?"

Justin Hammer.

When he heard the name Levi said, Nick Fury paused for a moment and said in surprise.

"Justin Hammer? The guy who attacked Tony with his armor at the weapons exhibition the other day?"

"Li Wei, don't you know that this guy committed a very serious crime endangering public safety, causing many deaths and injuries to New York citizens, and faces multiple criminal charges?"

Nick Fury said.

"It wasn't Tony he attacked, but that guy from his company named 'Whiplash' Ivan. He's the real mastermind behind it all, the true culprit behind everything."

Li Wei replied calmly.

"And this unlucky fellow... is nothing more than a sucker who was swindled out of everything by Ivan."

"Furthermore, the mastermind behind this, Whiplash Ivan, has already been killed in the explosion during his battle with Tony, and Justin Hammer was merely caught in the crossfire."

What he said was indeed true; in the original storyline, Justin Hammer was indeed tricked by Whiplash Ivan.

"..."

Hearing Levi's seemingly deliberate attempt to excuse the guy, Nick Fury sat up, resting his elbows on the table and propping his chin up.

With a look of great interest, he stared at Li Wei and asked.

"Can you tell me why you want to rescue this guy? Give me an explanation."

Since this was the first time Levi had proactively sought help from S.H.I.E.L.D., Nick Fury was somewhat curious.

Li Wei shrugged and replied.
