Chapter 21 Pepper's Request

After hearing what Li Heng said later, Pepper immediately understood that Li Heng had changed his approach and agreed to her request, so she was very grateful.

"Thank you, Li." He then got up and prepared to leave.

At this time, the old man also came out with a prepared meal. Seeing Pepper was about to leave, he quickly called her:

"Pepper, don't leave yet. Finish what I made before you leave. Look at you, you're already so tired. Don't worry, I believe that Stark boy will be safe."

Pepper was pulled by the old man to sit down, and then she slowly finished the food.

While eating, Pepper's tears fell. Since she learned the news of Tony's disappearance, she has not slept well and has not relaxed for a single minute. She is under great pressure. On the one hand, she hopes that the military can find Tony as soon as possible, and on the other hand, she has to take care of the company and deal with the sharp drop in stock prices.

So now, facing the old man's concern, she finally couldn't help but shed tears.

When the old man saw Pepper crying, he didn't know what to do and thought he had said something wrong.

Unexpectedly, Pepper said:

"Thank you very much, Master Li. I didn't expect you to care about me at this time and do this for me. I feel the warmth of love from an elder. Don't worry, I will hold on until Tony comes back."

After dinner, when Pepper was about to leave, she bowed to the old man at the door of the restaurant:

"Master Li, from today on, you are my elder. Don't worry, I will take good care of myself."

Then she got into the car escorted by bodyguards and returned to Stark Group.

The old man was moved by Pepper's last words and said:

"This girl is great, she's strong. But I wonder if Tony can come back safely?"

When Li Heng heard the old man's words, he thought to himself: He will definitely be able to come back. Not to mention the Mark I he invented in the cave, even I will wait until Tony invents the armor and then rescue him. However, that will definitely be a few months later, so I didn't tell Pepper now.

Li Heng was also afraid that if he went too early and rescued Tony, he would attract the hidden Master Ancient One, who would say that he had interfered with the timeline and disrupted the normal direction of the timeline, so he needed to be eliminated in order to restore the original normal timeline.

Therefore, Li Heng decided to be obedient and wait until Tony built the armor before rescuing him.

Afterwards, Li Heng called Lin Yi, and then Li Heng went to the company and personally asked him to remove all the videos that spread rumors about Tony and re-examine them. The reason was that the content of the video might involve the spread of false news, leading to adverse consequences.

After listening to this, Lin Yi assured Li Heng that he would get it done in the shortest possible time and asked Li Heng to rest assured.

When Pepper returned to the company and watched the videos again, she found that there were fewer and fewer videos about Tony. Most of the content she could see now was praying for Tony to have good luck, be found soon, and come back safely.

Seeing this, Pepper felt that Li Heng worked really quickly. As soon as she returned to the company, Li Heng had already achieved the effect that Pepper wanted.

Now, the news of Tony's disappearance has become less popular on short videos. However, since Tony is the only remaining member of the Stark family, his popularity cannot be eliminated by short videos.

Elsewhere, people were still talking about it, and Stark Group's stock price kept falling.

Li Heng sat in his office and told Xiao Zhuge:

"Xiao Zhuge, when the share price of Stark Group drops to a certain level, prepare to buy the shares of Stark Group at the bottom."

"Okay, but Master, judging from the current situation, Stark Group's shares are already hopeless. Why are you still buying at the bottom?"

Li Heng was very happy to hear Xiao Zhuge's doubts, because Xiao Zhuge was not like Jarvis, that kind of stupid artificial intelligence.

Little Zhuge has his own consciousness and can think like a human, so he asked such questions when Li Heng wanted to buy up Stark Group shares.

Li Heng explained:

"Others may not know, but I do know that Tony Stark will definitely come back safe and sound, and nothing will happen to him. By then, the share price of Stark Group will rise again."

After hearing what Li Heng said, Little Zhuge tilted his head in confusion, not understanding why Li Heng was so sure that Tony Stark could come back safely.

However, he still followed Li Heng's instructions and prepared to buy when the stock price was at its lowest point, quietly waiting for Tony to return, so that he could make a fortune.

After all these were arranged, Li Heng stood up, stretched, and said:

"Sure enough, I am still not suitable for sitting in the office. I sat for a long time today and my waist is uncomfortable."

Then Li Heng said something to Lin Yi and left.

After returning home, Li Heng estimated the time. Since it was the time when Tony was kidnapped, which was January 2008, it would take another two or three months for Tony to make Mark I in the cave.

Only then will Li Heng go to rescue Tony. Otherwise, if he rescues him now, he has not yet built the Ark reactor and the armor, so how will the plot develop later?

So Li Heng decided that during these few months, he would not do anything extra. He would just build up his strength while quietly waiting for Tony to successfully make the armor.

During these few months, Li Heng has been constantly training his space power. Now he can skillfully release the space gate without any pressure. Li Heng has even begun to try to open the space gate to the moon.

However, after several attempts, Li Heng still failed. This made him realize that he still had a long way to go before he could master the power of space. So Li Heng practiced harder and also practiced using the magic wand in between.

Now Li Heng can easily use the magic wand to cast the magic in his mind to achieve his goals.

However, he did not have a good grasp of the amount of magic, because one time when Li Heng wanted to clean up the room, he ended up clearing out all the things in his room, leaving him alone standing in the empty room.

During these months, the old man often called Pepper to the restaurant and gave her food supplements from time to time to help her maintain her increasingly tired spirit and body.

It was not until Li Heng estimated that the time was almost up that he said to the old man:

"Grandpa, I have something to do recently and need to go out for a few days. You have to take good care of yourself at home."

Said to Pepper: "I should be able to find where Tony is."
