Chapter 39 I Am Iron Man
"As long as you follow what you said above, even if some media don't believe it, they won't be able to stir up too much public opinion! We are very familiar with this matter and know how to make it disappear from public view. ”
Coulson said, handing over a note.
"And your alibi. You were on a yacht at the time. As for Obadiah, he will die in a private plane crash a week later!"
Tony was holding the newspaper and looking at today's front page. The headline above was "Who is Iron Man?"
"Iron Man is a really good name. Although my armor shell is made of gold and titanium alloy, it still fits the title. I like this nickname!"
Tony commented to the newspaper.
When Pepper saw that Tony didn't answer Colson's words, she turned to Colson and said.
"Thank you! Otherwise we wouldn't know how to explain to the media today. Thank you very much for everything you have done!"
"It's okay. This is our responsibility. What's more, one of our trainee agents was also very involved in this matter. This is also considered an internal matter for us!"
It was rare for Colson to tease Qin Xiao.
At this moment, Qin Xiao was standing aside in a black suit, looking like a qualified agent or security guard.
"Yes, this guy is the instigator of this incident. He should be allowed to explain to the media today."
Tony pointed at Qin Xiao who was standing aside and said angrily.
"Also, you'd better pay attention to your identity. Mr. Instigator, you should go out and maintain order among the reporters in the way you are dressed today!"
"I know, Mr. Stark!"
Qin Xiao answered quite professionally, raised the sunglasses on his nose, turned around and went out, looking like a professional agent.
This surprised Tony quite a bit.
"What did you do to him? To make this guy suddenly become so obedient, didn't you use some brainwashing tool on him?"
Tony pointed at Qin Xiao and joked.
"Our boss threatened him that if he doesn't cooperate with my work well today, he will stop his monthly salary. You know, this guy recently bought a nice apartment, so he probably doesn't have much money anymore!"
Colson smiled brightly. The last time the incident in the Middle East was shattered in front of these two guys.
Although Qin Xiao offered to help this morning, if it weren't for Nick Fury's call, Qin Xiao would never have been so obedient.
To be honest, commanding this guy is quite fulfilling.
After everything was prepared, Lieutenant Colonel Rhodes outside had been talking nonsense in front of reporters for half an hour.
Tony opened his hands and let Pepper help him put on his coat.
Looking at the sweet and charming Little Pepper in front of him, Tony suddenly felt that he had been ignoring the girl beside him.
What's the Chinese proverb that guy Qin Xiao said to him?
Rabbits don't eat the grass next to their holes.
To hell with it, it must be because the grass next to the rabbit hole isn't inviting enough.
He coughed slightly and glanced again at Little Pepper, who was arranging his clothes.
Tony still felt that it would be more appropriate to change the situation.
Coulson had given Rhodes the signal.
Rhodes outside had enough nonsense and spoke directly.
"Now, Mr. Stark has prepared a statement, but he will not be taking any questions today, thank you everyone!"
Tony came on stage to thunderous cheers.
There is no reporter who doesn’t like Tony Stark. Of course, it’s not because he is more popular, it’s just that there is enough news about this guy and it is shocking enough.
Tony looked at the reporters below, and then glanced at Qin Xiao, who was standing in the corner without saying a word.
Giving him a provocative look, Qin Xiao quietly raised a middle finger towards Tony.
"Pfft!"
Tony couldn't help but burst into laughter, then coughed twice awkwardly and said.
"It's been a long time since I've seen you. I've prepared a manuscript today!"
He took out the so-called official statement prepared by Colson and others from his pocket.
"About the rumors from the outside world, it is said that I was involved in last night's..."
"I'm sorry, Mr. Stark, do you really expect us to believe such nonsense about a bodyguard wearing a suit of armor..."
A female reporter interrupted Tony directly.
Not only did Tony know this female reporter, she also had a one-night stand with her.
She has been dedicated to reporting on the Stark Group's arms sales to outside terrorists.
Calling Tony Stark an executioner.
"Um?"
Tony hesitated, even though he had agreed not to answer any questions today.
But he couldn't help but pointed at Qin Xiao beside him and said.
"Yes, a bodyguard did appear wearing a battle armor, and he is right here. It's that guy. Did you see it? The oriental boy wearing sunglasses to look cool, that was him last night!"
Following the direction of Tony's finger, all the flashlights in the audience were focused on Qin Xiao.
"Farke!"
Qin Xiao was caught off guard and could only mutter a curse word.
He looked at a group of reporters aiming long and short guns at him.
Qin Xiao showed a rather stylized smile, stretched out his right hand and made a gesture near his chin!
The question that everyone is most concerned about at today's press conference is who is Iron Man.
Now that Tony Stark has spoken, Qin Xiao has become the target of reporters' interviews, regardless of whether what he said is true or false.
The only person in the audience was the female reporter, still sitting in the first row without moving.
She looked at Tony Stark and said calmly.
"He is the man in the armor. Okay, Mr. Stark, who is the man wielding the narrow sword?"
The female reporter took out a laptop from under the seat and clicked on a video.
This was a picture taken with a night camera. Although the color looked a little distorted and the picture was not particularly clear.
But it was obvious that Qin Xiao was wielding a Tang sword and cutting off the lower limbs of the Iron Overlord who was about to rise.
And it was obvious that the man was Qin Xiao.
On the contrary, Tony in the corner of the picture, although the helmet of the armor had fallen off.
But because of the sideways head, the picture clarity was not enough, and it could only be vaguely seen that it was a white man.
This time, the whole audience was in an uproar again!
No one thought why someone would film the final fight on the rooftop.
The female reporter waited for Tony Stark's explanation with a triumphant smile.
She had been investigating Tony Stark for a long time, his love history, his company.
In order to obtain first-hand information, she even bribed the security captain of an office building on another street.
Not only did she install cameras that can shoot in various situations and tools for remote video shooting for him.
She also specifically told him that if the lights on the top floor of the Stark Industries opposite were on at night, he should go up and aim at the room with people and start shooting.
It was also a coincidence last night that the security guard saw Tony and Iron Man flying on the road.
But he thought it was an alien, so he quickly took the equipment and ran to the rooftop to chase and watch.
When he arrived at the rooftop, he found that he couldn't find it. Who knew that he fell from the sky to the rooftop of Stark Industries soon.
When he set up the equipment with his hands and feet, he figured out how to turn on the night vision function to shoot.
It was the scene where Qin Xiao cut off Iron Man's foot with a knife.
Fortunately, he was not professional enough to use these things. He only took a clear picture of Qin Xiao's appearance. Tony in the corner was not very clear because of the angle and focus.
Although the appearance of Iron Man was not clear, it was enough for now.
The female reporter wanted to see how Tony Stark would deny this.
Unexpectedly, Tony on the stage was silent for a moment, and then threw the manuscript in his hand on the table.
He admitted it.
"Let me correct it, that is called Tang Dao! In addition, you guessed it right, I am Iron Man!"
Tony also made a scissors hand gesture to the camera.
