Chapter 1237: On the Sidelines, Select the Target
Zhou Yi accompanied the gloomy Zhou Lan back home, and did not attract too many people's attention, but he couldn't escape the eyes of those who cared. For example, Natasha, a woman with sharp eyes and ears and a special identity, is always paying attention to everything that happens in this family.
She has been watching Zhou Lan's actions all the time, and she also clearly sees the conflict between Zhou Lan and Smith Zhou. Don't forget, Natasha knows the technology of lip language. The communication between the two did not deliberately hide the movement of their lips, so of course Natasha can clearly see the content of their communication.
And it was precisely because of what they said that Natasha was surprised in her heart. Although the abilities exposed by Smith Zhou are powerful for superheroes in this world, they are not necessarily terrifying. Because apart from guys like Thor, other people are just humans with superpowers after all. For them, this ability is not targeted.
But when he put this ability on Zhou Yi's family, the situation was completely different.
The extreme targeting almost caused most of Zhou Yi's family to be restrained by Smith Zhou. Even Natasha doubted whether Zhou Yi himself would be affected by this ability. Because Zhou Yi is the most famous deity in the world, it is even said that when the term deity is mentioned now, most human beings will think of him first, rather than anyone else.
But, isn't Smith Zhou the father of Zhou Yi? Why would he do this, why would he target his own child's family? Her mind was full of question marks, and she almost wanted to get close to her because of an occupational disease. But when she saw Zhou Lan's gloomy expression when she came back, she immediately dispelled this impulsive thought.
Now to ask Zhou Yi such a thing, it is simply pushing yourself into the wind and waves. Only a fool would do such a thing. Of course Natasha is not stupid, so she will definitely not do such a thing. But not doing so does not mean that she intends to give up on the in-depth pursuit of this issue. In fact, on the contrary, she has an increasingly urgent thirst for knowledge about the answer to this question. And this prompted her to use other methods to investigate the truth of the matter.
As an agent, Natasha can use many methods. But in today's situation, the best way is to insinuate. From the reactions of Zhou Yi's family, it can be seen that they have quite the same views on Smith Zhou. It also means that they are mostly in the know. Therefore, as long as a suitable breakthrough can be found among them, it is not impossible to find the answer to the question.
So, who should be used as a breakthrough?
Natasha ruled out Zhou Yi first. In front of him, no matter how insinuating, I'm afraid it will arouse some suspicion. And if Zhou Yi noticed himself and discovered the existence of catastrophe, then the problem would really be aggravated.
So he definitely can't be used as a breakthrough.
So what's left, Jean Gray? No, this is an excellent psychologist, and even possesses psychic powers. By beating around in front of her, he was obviously looking for trouble for himself. And if she finds out her own thoughts and inner secrets, then obviously something will go wrong. Therefore, this should also be excluded.
Next, Lilith or Ada? These two candidates went through Natasha's mind once, and they were also crossed. She is not familiar with Lilith, and judging from her identity, she is not a good character. The goddess from thousands of years ago can crush human beings with just experience, so it is not suitable to play tricks with her. And the same goes for Ada.
You know, no matter what, Ada is also her own colleague. A colleague is an enemy, because it is impossible to use your means on her. Once used, she can know what you are thinking. Therefore, it is more appropriate to exclude her.
And after excluding so many people, there are no good candidates left.
She knew Zhou Yi's other girlfriends but was not familiar with them. The only one who is a little familiar is Serana, but Serana's status is special now, as a mother just now, she must be the focus of this family. The result of beating her sideways is the same as the above situations, so it is not advisable. And if you calculate it like this, there are not many people who can type out the answer.
Thinking of this, Natasha set her sights on the girl with bright purple hair in the crowd. Xia Ruisi, Zhou Yi's younger sister, might be a suitable target.
After finding her target, Natasha immediately walked over with a wine glass. And from far away, she could hear the lively discussion between Xia Ruisi and the mutants around her.
The content of their discussion was related to a crime that happened in Huiyao City before. The criminal had already been caught, and it was Xia Ruisi's SWAT team who caught him. However, there were some accidents in the process of arresting people. Some of them were injured and are still in the hospital. And this is really unacceptable to Xia Ruisi, who has always wanted to make her police force the number one in the world. So from that time on, she has been berating her team members.
The competitive Xia Ruisi cannot be stopped. From the time when the team members were injured until now, she has been looking for problems from herself and the team members in different ways. Find a little today and a little tomorrow. She herself enjoyed it, but her subordinates were a little miserable. Originally, I thought that I could settle down a little bit by coming over for a dinner today, but the truth is that Xia Ruisi didn't intend to let them go at all. She continued chattering on with the previous topic.
In this way, Xia Ruisi's subordinates were sitting on pins and needles, but Xia Ruisi was getting better and better, saying that she was both happy and enjoyable. And just when she was about to push her speech to a climax, a mature and seductive voice suddenly came from her ear, which forced her to stop her speech.
"What are you talking about, sounds like fun?"
"It's you?" It's not something to be happy about being interrupted by someone excited. So when Shares turned her head and saw Natasha, the expression on her face was not very pretty. However, although she is like this, it does not mean that her subordinates are also like this. In fact, at the moment Natasha walked over, these mutant boys who were still young people were already excited and couldn't help themselves.
"Black Widow, it's Black Widow. I finally saw a live Black Widow!"
"My god, my goddess. I finally saw the goddess of my dream!"
"Damn, my heart is burning. Help me, I feel like my heart is going to jump out. Is this what love at first sight feels like?"
It is unavoidable that most of the special police ranks are still men. Therefore, when they saw a character like Natasha that almost represented the charm of women, they immediately showed a very gaffe.
This made Xia Ruisi really feel a little ashamed, so she immediately drove away her group of subordinates like flying flies, and then said to Natasha with a strange face.
"You came to me at this time, shouldn't it be because you find it interesting to hear me reprimanding them? So do you have something?"
It's not surprising that Xia Ruisi has such a keen sense of touch for Natasha. Because Xia Ruisi is a woman after all, and most women have dexterous minds and can discern many things that careless men cannot. This is talent, there is nothing to be surprised about. So she smiled slightly at the moment, and then said to Xia Ruisi.
"Of course, there are some small questions I want to ask you. So, can we find a private place to chat briefly?"
"Okay, let's go to the garden. There should be no one there near the back mountain. Just in time, I also have something to ask you."
Natasha delivered it to her door herself, which was a rare opportunity for Xia Ruisi. You know, she saw something amazing before. At first, she thought that she was wrong, because all the truth seemed to tell her the answer. But out of her own instinct and the reminder of that familiar feeling, she didn't believe that this would be the result of her own misjudgment. So all along, she has put a big question mark on that matter.
Originally, she didn't have a clue to find any answer, because her status was really not good for getting too close to someone with a special status like Natasha. But now that Natasha has come together, of course she can't miss this opportunity. Although she was suspected of cheating, as long as she could find some clues, she couldn't care less.
It can be said that at this time, the two women with their own ulterior motives got together and began to plot against each other. And at the very beginning, of course it was Natasha, a seasoned existence, who took the lead.
"It's actually like this, Miss Shares. I seem to have seen the existence of Mr. Smith Zhou just now. He seems to be having some trouble with your family. You should know that Smith Zhou is a relatively controversial guy. A lot of people are watching his movements and intentions. So, can you tell me something you know about him?"
"That guy? He's my brother's biological father."
When Smith Zhou was mentioned, Xia Ruisi was also a little surprised. But soon, she gave such an answer without thinking. As for this answer, Natasha rolled her eyes in her heart, but there was still a bright smile on her face.
"I know this. In fact, many people know this problem. It's just that I don't understand. Since he has such a relationship with Zhou Yi, why doesn't your family seem to be so harmonious with him?"
