Chapter 136 The President is Hijacked

After Tony knocked Killian out, he turned and looked at Maya: "Maya, I need you to tell me now, where is Pepper?"

Tony was so concerned about Pepper's safety that he stopped paying attention to Killian after he knocked him to the door.

While Tony was looking at Maya, Killian secretly ran out of the door and hurriedly ran to the room in the basement. Together with his men, he wore the Patriot uniform and took Pepper away with him. He did it quickly and without any hesitation.

Maya saw the seriousness in Tony's eyes, and then said, "I don't know. I haven't seen Pepper since Killian brought her back. Killian is the one who manages the experiments."

When Tony and Li Heng heard Maya mention Killian, they remembered that Killian was knocked away, so they turned around to look for Killian, but they couldn't find him.

Then Tony and Li Heng searched the entire building and did find the laboratory, but Pepper was not inside.

However, when they searched the basement, they unexpectedly found Rhodes who was tied up.

Tony stepped forward and untied Rhodes. "Hey, man, aren't you on a mission? Why are you here?"

Rhode moved his wrists, which were a little sore from being tied up, and said, "I was ambushed by the Mandarin's men, and was brought here."

Rhode seemed to remember something and quickly said to Tony, "Hey, Tony, they took my suit away."

Seeing the confusion on Tony's face, Rhode explained, "Yes, it was my battle suit." After that, Rhode explained, "He applied a very high temperature to my battle suit. I couldn't bear it anymore, so I had to come out of the battle suit."

After hearing what Rhodes said, Tony, Li Heng and others knew that Killian must have escaped from here.

Now, Li Heng and his men have once again lost trace of Killian.

"However," Tony and the others all looked at Li Heng after hearing what he said. Li Heng cleared his throat and said, "Maybe I have a way to find out where Killian went."

"Where did he go?" Tony asked Li Heng. He didn't ask why Li Heng knew, but asked directly about the result.

"He should have gone to the coast, where a large ship is located." Li Heng explained, "Just now when you went to rescue Rhodes, I found Killian's men, controlled him, and asked for the approximate address."

After hearing from Li Heng where Killian was going, Tony quickly asked Jarvis to screen according to the information provided by Li Heng and find the exact location.

Li Heng continued: "Oh, I also found out some information about the vice president."

While Tony was waiting for Jarvis to find the address, he heard Li Heng say that this matter had something to do with the Vice President, and then Tony called the Vice President directly.

The vice president, who was spending Christmas at home with his family, heard his cell phone ring. After answering the call, he heard Tony's voice: "Sir, this is Tony Stark."

"Tony, welcome back to safety." The Vice President thought Tony had just escaped from danger.

Tony continued, "We have received news that you may be involved in the Mandarin's case, but we will transfer you to a safe place as soon as possible."

However, the Vice President refused: "Mr. Stark, I am now enjoying honey ham under the protection of elite agents. The President and Colonel Rhodes are on Air Force One, so I think we are all safe now."

The next moment, Rod's voice came over the phone: "Sir, this is Rod. They plan to use the Iron Patriot to fish in troubled waters and then find a way to take the president away. We must warn the crew immediately."

"Okay, I'll have the Security Bureau act immediately." The Vice President agreed to Rhodes' request and replied that a warning would be issued immediately. "As long as the situation requires, the fighter jets will be in place within thirty seconds. Thank you for your reminder, Colonel."

Then the Vice President hung up the phone, handed the phone to the person next to him, and went to celebrate the holiday with his children. He did not remind the crew as he had said on the phone.

It turns out that the vice president's daughter is also a disabled person who lost one of her lower legs.

Killian sent his men dressed in Iron Patriot suits, then rushed to the president's Air Force One and boarded the plane with the president.

After telling the Vice President about the situation, Tony and the others discussed the next steps together.

Rhodes said: "The current situation shows that we can only rescue one of the president or Pepper. We can't rescue them both at the same time."

At this time, Jarvis said to Tony: "Sir, we have received the latest news from Malibu. The crane has arrived underground and is ready to start excavation."

Li Heng objected to Rhodes: "Rhodes, who said we can't save them at the same time?"

After hearing what Li Heng said, everyone looked at him. Li Heng continued, "It's very simple. Tony, just go and save the president. Anyway, the suit you are wearing still has combat power."

"As for Pepper, I can go." Li Heng looked at Tony, "You should be assured that I will go. After all, you are the only one who is familiar with the president. So you have to go to save the president and I will go to save Pepper."

After hearing what Li Heng said, Tony thought about it and agreed with Li Heng's suggestion. Then everyone split up into two groups. Tony was going to fly directly to Air Force One.

On Air Force One, Killian's men saw the time was five o'clock, and then began to act. He first locked the two guards at the door in the room, and then swaggered into the president's conference room.

After confirming the president and the officials around him through scanning, Iron Patriot directly launched an attack on the security personnel.

The security guards fought back, but unfortunately, without the suits, they were no match for Killian's men, and now with the suits, it was impossible to stop him.

So in just over ten seconds, they cleared all the security on Air Force One, grabbed the president, opened his mask, and greeted him.

He was a little confused at first as to why Rhodes would suddenly attack his president, but when he saw the unfamiliar face under the mask, he realized that this man was probably coming for him.

Sure enough, the next sentence made the purpose clear: "What an honor, Mr. President. My boss invited you to a place."

The president then said: "You can kill me or chop me up as you wish."

"Don't worry, Mr. President. This is not the Mandarin's style."
