American comic: Checking in, Gwen in black stockings rolls her eyes.

"Lin Feng hopes you can find your place, rather than feel imprisoned."

Fury finally spoke:

"Tell Lin Feng that we appreciate your kindness. But that won't change anything."

Natasha gave him a meaningful look:

“Everything has changed, Nick. It’s just that some people haven’t accepted it yet.”

After saying that, she turned and left, leaving Fury and his group in a silent stare-down-on-spot in the rest area.

"She has changed."

After Natasha had walked away, Coulson said in a low voice.

Hill nodded in agreement:

"She belongs to Lin Feng completely now."

Fury's expression was ashen and steely:

"Everyone changes, but that doesn't mean we have to accept that change."

.....

205: Monitor Nick Fury!

He looked around to make sure there were no listening devices, then lowered his voice.

"We need an alternative plan."

Coulson and Hill exchanged a worried look.

Fury continued:

"Take Lin Feng's protection for now, but remain vigilant. We cannot rely entirely on his goodwill."

“So what should we do?” Hill asked.

A resolute glint flashed in Fury's single eye.

"Wait for the right moment. I still have a trump card... I just need to find a way to contact her."

Colson astutely guessed:

"You mean...Danvers?"

Fury nodded slightly and said no more.

He knew that Carol Danvers was his last hope and the only possibility to fight against Lin Feng's extraordinary power.

At this moment, in Lin Feng's office, he was discussing the meeting with Natasha.

"Fury will not accept being marginalized like this."

Natasha commented.

"He must be planning something."

Lin Feng leaned back in his chair, appearing confident and composed.

"Of course, that's exactly what I'm looking forward to. A fox cornered by a wall will often reveal its sharpest claws."

Natasha raised an eyebrow:

"Do you want to see what other tricks he has up his sleeve?"

"Not only that."

Lin Feng's eyes deepened.

"I want to see what choices a person who is used to being in control will make when they lose that control."

Is this a psychological game?

Natasha asked curiously.

Lin Feng shook his head:

“No, this is a game about the future. Fury represents the old order, while I… represent new possibilities.”

Natasha was silent for a moment, then asked:

"So, what's the next step?"

Lin Feng stood up and walked to the window:

“It’s time to see another old friend. Bucky Barnes, the Winter Soldier we just captured.”

"Tony Stark has already taken him back to his lab?"

"Yes."

Lin Feng nodded.

"Tony hopes to break Hydra's mind control over Bucky. This is a good opportunity... perhaps to draw out more pawns."

Natasha understood Lin Feng's intention:

"Including Captain America?"

Lin Feng smiled slightly:

"The greatest super soldier in history lies dormant beneath the Arctic ice. Isn't it time to awaken him?"

A hint of worry flashed in Natasha's eyes:

Are you sure he's still alive?

"I have every reason to believe it."

Lin Feng spoke with certainty.

"Moreover, Bucky will be the key to finding him."

Natasha nodded:

“Then I will continue to monitor Fury and his group to make sure they don’t cause any trouble.”

"very good."

Lin Feng picked up his coat.

"I'm going to Stark Manor right now. I'll see how our Winter Soldier is waking up."

.

Stark Manor still maintains its unique blend of luxury and technology.

As soon as Lin Feng's car entered the gate, Happy Hogan quickly came to greet him.

"Mr. Lin."

Happy extended his hand warmly.

“Mr. Stark told me you would be coming. Welcome.”

Lin Feng shakes hands with Happy:

"Thank you, Mr. Hogan. Is Tony in the lab?"

"Yes, he has been there for two whole days."

Happy's tone carried a hint of helplessness.

.....

206: Hydra, Rise!

"Ever since you gave him that... uh, Winter Soldier, he's been like a man possessed."

Lin Feng smiled slightly:

“Tony has always been a tireless researcher.”

"Yes."

Happy led Lin Feng into the manor.

"But this time seems particularly different. He's especially interested in that person's robotic arm."

As they walked and talked, Happy asked curiously:

"By the way, Mr. Lin, I've always wanted to ask... how did you find and subdue the Winter Soldier? He's said to be one of Hydra's most dangerous assassins."

Lin Feng replied meaningfully:

“Everyone has weaknesses, Happy. Even the most dangerous weapon has its safety valve.”

Happy nodded as if he understood, and didn't ask any more questions.

Soon, they arrived at the elevator leading to the underground laboratory.

"Mr. Stark is in the lowest-level laboratory, the one with the highest security level."

Happy entered a complex password, and the elevator doors opened immediately.

"This is the best I can do for you."

Lin Feng nodded his thanks:

"Thank you for showing me the way, happy."

Lin Feng took the elevator down to the bottom floor and entered Tony Stark's core laboratory.

The equipment here is more advanced than that of a typical laboratory, with various holographic projections and robotic arms busily operating in the air.

Tony Stark had his back to the entrance, intently studying something.

Hearing footsteps, he said without turning his head:

"If it's you, Happy, I told you not to bother me—"

“It’s me, Tony.”

Lin Feng spoke up.

Tony immediately turned around, his face showing a tired but excited expression:

"Ah, the magician has finally graced us with his presence!"

He walked over and shook hands with Lin Feng.

"I almost thought you were just going to dump this hot potato on me and then forget about it."

Lin Feng followed Tony deeper into the laboratory:

"How is Pakistan doing?"

"Awful."

Tony said it bluntly.

"Hydra's mind control over him was deeper than I had imagined. I tried everything—drug therapy, memory reconstruction, even neurostimulation… but I couldn't completely break free from the influence of those damn trigger words."

They arrived at a reinforced glass isolation room.

Bucky Barnes was strapped to a specially made chair, his eyes staring blankly ahead.

His metal arm was restricted by a special device and could not move.

“Poor thing.”

Tony shook his head.

"He was brainwashed for seventy years and turned into a killing machine. I can't even imagine what he went through."

Lin Feng stared at Bucky:

Have you tried to awaken his memory?

"of course."

Tony nodded.
