Chapter 31 Tony Meets a Fighter

When Li Heng and Ethan returned to the villa, Tony encountered some problems.

Originally, after seeing Li Heng and Ethan leave, Tony flew straight into the sky, making a sonic boom in the sky, and flew directly back to the United States.

But when Tony happily flew over the United States, the military base he had just blown up and his flight trajectory were detected by Edwards Air Force Base in California.

The officer at the base said, "Ask the Department of Defense, the CIA, the Navy, etc. if this is their plane."

"Sir, they all said it wasn't theirs."

"What I want is the answer. Give me the clearest image of the target. Now go get Lieutenant Colonel Rhodes from the Weapons Development Department, immediately!"

After saying that, the officer turned to the person next to him and asked him to ask Rod to come over to discuss and see if he knew what this "plane" that suddenly appeared was.

At this time, Tony, who was flying in the sky, didn't know that he had attracted the extreme attention of the military base, when his identity was still unknown and he had never seen the Iron Man suit.

"We've authenticated and checked all the databases and found nothing."

Just as his men were reporting, Rhodes came in.

“Why can’t I see it on the radar?”

Rod asked.

"Because its radar cross section is so small."

"Is it a stealth aircraft?"

"No, sir, it's very small, I guess it's a drone."

Hearing this, Rhode remembered that Tony seemed to be tinkering with something at home some time ago, so Rhode said:

"Let me make a phone call."

After saying that, Rhodes went to the next seat and called Tony.

Tony, who was flying in the sky, answered Rhodes' call.

"Hello, who is it?"

"Tony, it's me, Rod. What's making all that noise over there?"

"Oh, I'm driving a convertible."

"Hey, Tony, one of our arsenals exploded, not far from where you were originally imprisoned. At the same time, the radar at our air force base detected an unidentified object. Have you researched any new technology? You have to tell me quickly, otherwise we are going to take it down."

Just then, two fighter jets flew behind Tony and followed him closely.

Tony quickly dodged the fighter's attack. Even when the opponent launched a missile, Tony asked Jarvis to release jammers and barely blocked the opponent's missile. After that, Tony called Rhodes again.

It was Rhodes's personal phone, not the base's phone.

"Hey Rod, it's me."

"Who is it?" Luo asked in a deliberately puzzled tone.

"I'm sorry, it's me, it's me you want to know," Tony explained.

"No, listen, this isn't a game. You can't send civilian equipment into our combat zone, do you understand?"

Tony said in the Iron Man suit: "This is not an Iron Man suit, I am inside it, this is a suit, it is me!"

Rhodes was stunned when he heard Tony say this.

At this moment, the two fighter planes were preparing to return, and a pilot found Tony clinging to the bottom of another plane.

"There seems to be a person under you. Roll over, roll over, get rid of him!"

Immediately afterwards, Tony was thrown out, but hit the wing of the plane, forcing the pilot to parachute to escape.

But after jumping out of the plane, the buckle of the parachute could not be opened. It was then that Tony flew over and helped him successfully open the parachute, allowing the pilot to land safely.

Seeing this, Rhodes breathed a sigh of relief and said again on the phone:

"Hey, Tony, you crazy guy, you owe me a plane, did you know that?"

"Hahaha." Tony laughed, "Actually, it hit me."

Li Heng, who had been asking Xiao Zhuge to help check on Tony's condition through headphones, learned from Xiao Zhuge's report that Tony was about to return home, so he and Ethan went to the underground studio to wait for Tony to come back.

Sure enough, after a while, Tony, wearing the bullet-riddled Mark III, fell on the suit disassembly mechanism.

Tony shouted "Ah, ah!" and took off his suit piece by piece with the help of Ethan and Jarvis.

Li Heng said at this time: "Hey, isn't this Tony? He looks like he was beaten badly by a fighter jet! Look at the damage and marks on his suit, wow."

After hearing what Li Heng said, Ethan asked Tony:

"Tony, you weren't really beaten up by a fighter plane, were you?"

Ethan also participated in the design and production of the suit and knew the true bulletproof performance of the suit. However, after being reminded by Li Heng, he found that there were indeed many more traces of the battle.

"Oh, Lee, Ethan, you can't say that! In fact, I beat up the two F22s, not me being beaten by them."

Tony was still stubborn and didn't want to admit it, but Li Heng didn't tolerate him and directly exposed his past.

"Oh? Really? Didn't you ask Rod to clean up your mess? Hahaha, this is what happens when you don't come back with us and want to fly back by yourself but don't report it."

Just then, Pepper came down from the building and saw the marks on Tony's body.

"What's going on? Are those bullet holes?"

"Oh, well, it's not the first time that Pepper has found out. I'll take it."

Tony spoke in a low voice and was heard by Li Heng.

But Li Heng had no intention of saying anything good for him. Instead, he pulled Ethan and quietly slipped away from the stairs.

After all, this is a matter between Tony and Pepper, and Li Heng and Ethan don't want to get involved, so in Tony's surprised eyes, Li Heng pulled Ethan and ran away, leaving Tony standing there without taking off his battle suit.

Finally, after some painstaking explanations, Tony finally calmed Pepper down, but Pepper disagreed to let him continue with such actions.

When Li Heng pulled Ethan upstairs, he just received the evidence sent by Xiao Zhuge.

It was Li Heng who asked Xiao Zhuge and Zhuanlun to secretly hack into Stark Corporation and find evidence that Obadiah betrayed Tony and secretly sold weapons.

Li Heng showed the evidence to Ethan.

"Ethan, look, it was Obadiah who secretly sold weapons in your company."

"What? Let me see." Ethan took the evidence from Li Heng's hand and looked at it carefully.

Just at this time, Tony coaxed Pepper and the two of them went upstairs together.

Tony also wants Pepper to help him go to Obadiah's office to see which terrorists he has arms deals with.

Just then, Li Heng heard Tony's proposal and said:

"Hey, Tony, there's no need to let Pepper go. I already have the evidence here."
