22. Fury’s countermeasures

The police came soon and took the thief away.

After the teenager took the money, he ran away because he couldn't stand the encouragement and praise from Wayne and Craig.

Wayne stretched out his hand towards Craig: "My name is Wayne, what's yours?"

"Craig, Craig Portman. It's your fault for scaring that kid. I was planning on taking him to my store and treating him to chicken wings."

After the two officially met, Craig began to shift the blame.

Wayne was caught off guard by the dumping, and his whole body fell into a sluggish state.

It wasn't until he saw the narrow smile on Craig's face that he realized: "Craig, I think you need to treat me to chicken wings."

Craig laughed, as happy as a child, lowered his head and asked Ashley, who was standing next to Wayne's legs: "What about you? Do you want some chicken wings? I don't want to make them for your dad, but I can make them for you. Some."

"Dad?" Ashley looked up at Wayne, her eyes shining.

Wayne's face looked a little unnatural, and the corner of his mouth twitched and said, "Forget it, we still have to pay social security for you. Let's go eat chicken wings tonight."

Craig's eyes moved, as if he understood the relationship between Wayne and Ashley. He smiled and took out a business card and said, "Okay, come over tonight and I'll treat you to chicken wings."

"Portman Bar? You chose the name so casually." Wayne handed the business card to the unhappy Ashley: "Then let's go first. See you in the evening."

"See you tonight."

...

Since leaving the community hospital, Ashley has been depressed, with a lip that can hold a bottle of oil.

She would look at Wayne from time to time, wanting to say something but not daring to say it, looking very aggrieved.

Wayne was also embarrassed and didn't know how to explain to Ashley. He could only put one hand on his lips and concentrate on driving with the other hand.

"Wayne, you said good will be rewarded with good and evil will be punished with evil. So what should I do if I encounter someone doing bad things?"

Ashley asked casually while looking out the window, seemingly putting the previous embarrassment behind her.

"Huh? Doing bad things?" Wayne was stunned: "If you meet someone who does bad things, then I hope you stay away."

"Why? Didn't you say that we need to take practical actions? Shouldn't I try my best to prevent that kind of thing from happening?"

Ashley said, the corners of her mouth curved up, looking a little naughty.

But her back was turned to Wayne, so Wayne couldn't see her expression.

"Um..." Wayne was a little embarrassed: "How can I put it, people are accustomed to double standards, and I am no exception. Although I hope that others can help when they see bad things happening, I don't hope that I People around you do that because there’s a chance they’ll get hurt.”

Ashley was silent for a while, then asked in a vibrato: "What if I did something bad?"

Wayne frowned and said a little irritably: "I won't let that happen."

"Why? Can you guarantee it?"

Ashley's voice trembled a lot more, and there was a hint of expectation.

"Of course, of course I can guarantee it." Wayne was a little excited: "I will teach you and let you understand the price of doing something. I will also let you understand what price you can bear and what price you cannot bear. I It also lets you know what’s right and what’s wrong.”

Ashley was unaware that she had irritated Wayne. Her questions were full of distrust, which was the source of Wayne's anger.

Before she achieved her goal, she continued to ask: "How can you judge what is right and what is wrong, and why should I listen to you?"

Wayne immediately became popular, so popular that he was just a hair away from being able to activate the Wrath of the God of War.He said irritably: "Because I have experienced more than you, I know what to do so that I will not feel guilty, and anything that does not make me feel guilty is a good thing! I rescue you from that place, and I will I have the responsibility to teach you this. As for whether you listen to me or not, why don’t you try it?!”

Ashley suddenly turned her head, tears streaming down her face as she spoke: "Then why don't you want me to call you dad? This is what dad would do."

Wayne's face twitched again, his anger subsided instantly, and he said uncomfortably as if he was crawling with rats: "I...I'm not ready yet, you...just wait for me to calm down for a few days."

Ashley's crying stopped suddenly, with a look of disbelief on her face.She couldn't even think of it, but she couldn't figure out why Wayne resisted her because of this. She thought...

"I thought you..."

Ashley couldn't continue at the beginning. Wayne finally realized what he was saying, turned around and asked with a smile: "Were you setting a trap for me just now?"

Ashley quickly turned her head back: "No...no, you are overthinking."

Seeing her embarrassment, Wayne felt happy in his heart: "Although you used your cleverness in places you shouldn't have used it, you are indeed very smart. I will buy you an ice cream later as a reward."

"Ice cream? What is that? I think I've heard that word before."

Ten minutes later, the two arrived at the door of the insurance company.

Things like social security and medical insurance in the pharmaceutical country are not paid by the government, but belong to the category of commercial insurance.

In this country, the lives of people with insurance and those without insurance are very different.

People who can't afford insurance will really have problems surviving here because it's too dangerous.

You never know when someone will rob you and hurt you.

The ability of the Medicine Country police is known to the whole world, and it is almost impossible to ask for compensation to cover the medical expenses.

And medical expenses are extremely expensive. Without insurance, you will really be left to die by the hospital in this "human rights" country.

Similarly, insurance is also very expensive, and people who cannot afford better insurance are also at risk of being left to die.

All in all, the living conditions of the upper class and middle class in Medicine Country are very favorable, but the people at the bottom are... very hard to describe.

Fortunately, Wayne can be considered middle-class, especially when he discovers that he still belongs to S.H.I.E.L.D.

"What's going on? Why am I still an employee of SHIELD?"

After handing Ashley's file to the manager, Wayne looked through his insurance records and found that yesterday, the day he left SHIELD, another insurance amount had been added.

"Sir, please choose the type of insurance you want to apply for. I recommend you choose these because..."

The manager was talking nonchalantly to the side, while Wayne's expression became increasingly gloomy.

Is Fury planning to use benefits to tie himself to SHIELD?

"I'm sorry, I'm making a phone call, please step aside."

The manager was stunned for a moment, thinking that the insurance he introduced was too expensive, and he regretted it for a moment.She took advantage of the time to step aside and quickly flipped through Wayne's insurance policy: "That shouldn't be the case. People with this kind of income wouldn't be stingy for their children. What's going on?"

Wayne didn't have Fury's contact information, so he dialed Vanessa's.

The call was quickly connected. Wayne was not in the mood for small talk, so he said, "Vanessa, I need to talk to Fury. Please tell me, as soon as possible. Thank you."

Vanessa was stunned for a while: "Um... I don't care if you don't say hello to me when I hear you are so anxious. But you know that Fury is very busy, right?"

"It's okay, just tell him and he will call me."

After Wayne finished speaking, he hung up the phone and felt a little headache.

Fury's call came quickly, and Wayne was not surprised, but a little angry: "You have been waiting for me? What do you mean? You want to use these things as chains to tie me up? Fury, you. ..”

Fury was a little unhappy with what Wayne said, so he interrupted him and said, "Wayne, do you think I'm too idle? Let me tell you, I refused to call you after the meeting with the council, and I I'm sure I don't want to hear you chatting with me about these little things.

I don't know what you found, and I'm not interested in hearing it.I just want to tell you one thing, that is, I am doing this for you, not because I need you to do anything for me, I just hope that you will not become a trouble for me.You've helped me deal with a lot of trouble, so I don't want to deal with you, do you understand? "

In terms of talking skills, Fury is almost among those who stand at the top of the world.Not only does he speak very fast, but he is also very good at preempting others.

After saying these words, Wayne forgot why he was looking for Fury and fell into silence for a while.

"Wayne Patrick, I trust you. Even if you killed so many people in Afghanistan, I trust you not to do bad things. But I need to take precautions to prevent you from doing anything that catches me off guard. You understand me. What are you talking about?"

After the continuous offensive, Wayne, who received a set of combination punches, decisively took the tenderness card: "I understand, I understand."

"That's good. By the way, what do you want to ask me about?"

Wayne was so confused by Fury that he almost led him away.If Fury hadn't asked this question, he would have been fooled: "No, Fury, it's not quite right."

"What's wrong? What exactly are you asking?"

Wayne gradually calmed down: "Besides increasing my insurance amount, what else have you done? Why is my job still with you? Don't tell me that you also gave me a promotion."

Fury was silent for a second, and Wayne already got the answer: "I understand your purpose for doing this, and I really like this. But Fury, be tied to me, are you sure you can bear the price?" ?"

"What are you going to do?" Fury panicked.Wayne wouldn't want to have a massacre in New York, would he?

Wayne shrugged and said, "I don't know, but I think you need to worry."

Fury breathed a sigh of relief and even laughed: "Ha, Patrick, do you think I should be wary of what might happen? Let me tell you something: I need to be wary of things far more than you think. Much more. So... don't bother me with these little things. I have a meeting to go to, so have a nice day."
