In addition to officials, many elites from the scientific community were also invited to the dinner.
They were eagerly anticipating meeting this legendary superwoman.
After all, Lu Yunmeng will be an important guest at the upcoming Shenmao Bureau Capability Exchange Conference, and most of these scientists will also be participants in the conference. Getting to know Lu Yunmeng in advance can be seen as paving the way for future exchanges and cooperation.
At the banquet, Lu Yunmeng chatted happily with several superpowered individuals from the Fengshen Team, creating a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere.
"Yunmeng, you'd better go easy on me during the upcoming tests and training. I don't want to be crippled by you." Vector Grace Tan winked her bright eyes playfully and said half-jokingly.
She genuinely liked this superwoman, and since they were of similar age and had compatible personalities, they got along very well.
However, considering Lu Yunmeng's terrifying strength—the ability to catch a commercial airliner with her bare hands—Grace still felt it was safer to keep her distance when communicating with her.
"Don't worry, I will take this exchange seriously and will definitely not let Director Zheng down." Lu Yunmeng clenched her fist as if to be serious, but a mischievous smile inadvertently appeared on her lips, and her eyes revealed a cunning look.
"Ah! No!" Grace exaggeratedly covered her head and pretended to wail, "Are you trying to kill me, you devil!" Her exaggerated expression and actions caused the people around her to chuckle.
Just then, Tony walked over, carrying a glass of wine and exuding elegance.
"Two beautiful ladies, would you do me the honor of having a drink with me?" he said with a charming smile and gentlemanly manner.
Grace gracefully raised her glass, lightly clinked it with Tony's, and then downed it in one gulp, her movements swift and decisive.
Tony frowned, a pained expression on his face. He was clearly not used to the strong taste of the liquor here, and the alcohol made him feel unwell.
But he had no choice but to drink it down, after all, he was the one who had wandered around the banquet hall like a butterfly, asking for trouble.
Just as Tony finished his drink, Sabre and Soldier Number One approached with glasses of wine, enthusiastically offering him another toast. Tony gave a helpless wry smile and had no choice but to drink those two "fiery" glasses of wine again.
After finishing the drink, he kept stuffing grapes into his mouth, trying to alleviate the strong effects of the alcohol, and his facial expression was quite comical.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Tony approached Lu Yunmeng and whispered, "Lu, someone is looking for you. Director Zheng asked me to inform you quietly. It seems to be a big shot. The security measures are extremely tight. There are more than fifty agents and bodyguards that we can see."
He originally wanted to take the opportunity to install a listening device on Lu Yunmeng, but after searching for a long time, he still couldn't find a suitable opportunity.
Lu Yunmeng frowned slightly. Although she was full of doubts, she nodded and walked towards the VIP room in the banquet hall.
She activated her X-ray vision, wanting to check the situation in the room, but was surprised to find that her vision could not penetrate the room.
Upon closer inspection, it became clear that the walls had undergone a special lead treatment, which was obviously designed specifically to counter her Kryptonian bloodline abilities.
This discovery intensified her curiosity.
Even though the room was completely encased in lead, her exceptional hearing still allowed her to detect any sounds inside.
She could clearly hear two heartbeats and breathing sounds. One heartbeat was slower, clearly belonging to an older person; the other breathing was steady and the heartbeat was strong, sounding like an athlete or someone who had undergone special and rigorous training.
"Interesting." Lu Yunmeng chuckled inwardly and decided to go in and find out.
Led by several bodyguards in black, she pushed open the door to the VIP room.
Inside the room, an elderly woman and a young woman sat on the sofa, waiting anxiously.
The older woman was dressed simply, her face showing signs of age and hardship; she appeared to be over fifty.
Upon seeing Lu Yunmeng walk in, she excitedly stood up abruptly, but then stopped three steps away from Lu Yunmeng, her lips trembling slightly, as if she wanted to say something but couldn't.
The other young woman had a typical Chinese appearance: willow-leaf eyebrows, phoenix eyes, a small nose, and thin lips; she was very pretty.
Her face displayed a perfectly measured expression of anticipation, but under Lu Yunmeng's super hearing, her heartbeat remained unusually steady, clearly indicating that her inner feelings and outward appearance were not consistent.
"Aunt Lu Yu?" Lu Yunmeng hesitated for a moment before tentatively asking.
She was not the original Lu Yunmeng, and was not familiar with the person in front of her. She could only confirm the other person's identity by relying on fragmented memories in her mind.
“Xiao Lu…” The middle-aged woman’s eyes instantly blurred with tears. She stepped forward, tightly grasped Lu Yunmeng’s hand, and choked with emotion, unable to speak.
Lu Yunmeng felt a sudden tremor in her heart, a feeling that was both familiar and unfamiliar welling up inside her.
That strange feeling of being connected by blood made her unconsciously lower her guard.
"It's been a long time, Aunt Luyu." She smiled faintly and said softly.
At this moment, she finally understood why the Chinese government had gone to such great lengths to arrange such tight security measures.
Clearly, they were doing this to protect her loved ones and prevent any potential threats.
"Hey, it's been so long since I've heard you call me that."
Aunt Luyu gently stroked Luyunmeng's cheek and said with deep emotion, "The last time I saw you, you were a cute little girl like a doll. Now you've grown into a beautiful young lady."
As Aunt Luyu recalled the past, her eyes welled up with tears once again.
Back then, her younger sister Lucky met Widson while studying in the United States. After they fell in love and got married, they settled in the United States.
Luyu had repeatedly hoped that her younger sister could return to China to live, but her sister refused each time.
Later, Luqi tragically passed away during childbirth, leaving behind the young Luyunmeng.
Lu Yu had tried to bring her niece back to China to raise her, but Widerson firmly disagreed.
It wasn't until many years later, when Widson also passed away from heart disease, that Lu Yu learned of Lu Yunmeng's whereabouts.
"How have you been all these years?" Aunt Luyu asked with eyes full of affection.
“I’m fine, Aunt Luyu.” Lu Yunmeng replied with a smile, letting the other person gently stroke her cheek.
Although she was not the original Lu Yunmeng, she could still genuinely feel the elder's sincere affection for her.
The inner liner has been replaced; it'll have to do for now...
"By the way, this is your cousin, Lu Qinyu. She was a poor student I used to sponsor, and later I adopted her as my goddaughter." Lu Yu pointed to the young woman behind her and introduced her with a smile.
Lu Yunmeng looked at her "cousin" with a half-smile, her eyes carrying a hint of mockery and all-knowing insight. From the moment she entered the room, she had already seen through the other woman's true identity.
"Hello..." Lu Qinyu seemed a little shy, greeting him cautiously in a soft voice.
"Thank you for taking care of my aunt, cousin." Lu Yunmeng narrowed her eyes, deliberately emphasizing the word "cousin," her words carrying a special meaning.
She chuckled inwardly, never expecting S.H.I.E.L.D. to go to such lengths, sending top agents to impersonate impoverished students from mountainous areas to reunite with their relatives. They really went to great lengths.
Lu Qinyu lowered her head, and her usually steady heartbeat became much faster.
She inwardly groaned; the task Nick Fury had assigned her this time had truly put her in a difficult position, caught between a rock and a hard place.
Lu Yunmeng ignored her and started chatting with Lu Yu about everyday things.
The two chatted for a long time, from the little things in the past to the trivialities of their current lives, in a warm and harmonious atmosphere.
As it grew later, Luyu appeared somewhat tired.
Lu Yunmeng thoughtfully arranged for the person in charge to take her to rest.
Lu Qinyu wanted to leave with them, but Lu Yunmeng stopped her.
“Agent Natasha Romanov, you’ve given me such a big surprise on our first meeting.” Lu Yunmeng walked forward with a smile, reaching out to play with the other’s wig, her tone teasing and playful.
“Okay, I admit it.” Natasha sighed helplessly, removing her disguise to reveal her signature burgundy hair. “Next time, I’ll suggest to the department that lead be added when making bionic masks.”
She shrugged, a helpless, bitter smile on her face.
“You’re wrong, I still have ears.” Lu Yunmeng snatched the bionic mask and played with it with great interest, a hint of amusement in her eyes.
The super hearing of a body made of steel is no joke.
"Tell me, what has Nick Fury been making you do?"
Her gaze suddenly turned cold and sharp, her tone carrying an undeniable authority, "Don't try to lie, I can tell."
Natasha's hair stood on end, and she broke out in a cold sweat. Even as a top agent who had seen countless battles and faced death, she felt an overwhelming pressure at this moment, as if the air itself had frozen!
It was like being watched by a apex predator!
Fuck! Nick!
This is the damn, extremely dangerous mission you insisted I undertake!
Her pupils trembled slightly, her face grim. She suppressed the urge to draw her gun and fire, inwardly sighing, "Indeed, Supergirl isn't as simple as she seems..."
Chapter 42 The Unbelievable Truth
This was Lu Yunmeng's first face-to-face meeting with the legendary Black Widow, Natasha Romanov.
Natasha's long, wine-red hair, cascading down like a waterfall, shimmered with a captivating luster under the lights.
Her delicate face was adorned with a pair of bright and deep eyes. With each glance, a charming and intellectual aura naturally emanated from her, seemingly capable of captivating the soul.
Even dressed in simple casual wear, she couldn't hide her innate and unique charm that radiated from within.
When Lu Yunmeng's gaze fell on Natasha, some blurry images suddenly flashed through her mind, like fragments of memories long sealed by time, slowly drifting out from the corners of time and beginning to quietly piece together.
As these fragments gradually become clearer, Lu Yunmeng can clearly feel that the recovery of her memories is gradually improving, as if a locked door is slowly opening.
Without the slightest hesitation or concealment, Natasha revealed the entire mission she had carried out without reservation.
Her mission was actually not complicated: to disguise herself as Lu Yu's adopted daughter, find a suitable opportunity to get close to Lu Yunmeng in order to obtain relevant information, and at the same time take on the responsibility of taking care of the superwoman's only blood relative in the world.
Nick Fury didn't give her any further instructions. After all, in his view, Supergirl wasn't an enemy for the time being. He was just doing this to keep himself safe, just in case.
However, Natasha's meticulously planned infiltration did not last long. In less than a week, her identity was exposed by the well-trained and experienced agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.
Her actions were also completely exposed.
Interestingly, the Shenmao Bureau did not reveal this information to Lu Yunmeng.
After detailing her mission, Natasha took a deep breath and stood there quietly, awaiting Lu Yunmeng's "judgment."
She knew very well that for someone as powerful as Lu Yunmeng, having their family members secretly watched was an extremely intolerable thing.
She was prepared to accept any punishment, as long as it wasn't fatal.
If Lu Yunmeng really wanted to take action, she wouldn't easily surrender. Her high heels contained two miniature lead powder bombs, which, once detonated, would be enough to completely destroy the room.
Although killing Supergirl was almost an impossible task for her, she was still fairly confident that she could use the two bombs to create some chaos and buy herself a chance to escape.
As for whether they will be wanted by S.H.I.E.L.D. and hunted by Supergirl, those are things to consider later.
Based on the terrifying power Lu Yunmeng displayed when she brutally beat up the Abomination in Manhattan, New York, her own body, which had only been enhanced, would probably turn into a meaningless pile of rotten flesh in an instant...
However, Lu Yunmeng did not respond immediately, but fell into a long silence.
Her attention was completely drawn to the fragments of memories that kept flooding her mind, as if she had been transported into a mysterious world.
These fragments gradually pieced together a more complete picture. Although it still appeared somewhat scattered, it was much clearer than before, like a jigsaw puzzle that was slowly being completed.
Natasha looked at Lu Yunmeng, who had fallen silent, with some confusion, trying to catch some emotional changes from her expression.
