Chapter 1271: Exposed
While Shuri personally diverted most of Wakandaâs intelligent systemâs power to investigate Lin Ruiâs background worldwide, Lin Rui, crouched in the restroom, discreetly sent a message to the outside world.
Ordinary communication equipment would certainly be intercepted by Wakandaâs system, but Lin Rui was using a different system, so he had little to worry about.
The message Lin Rui sent was directed to SHIELD, and its contents were straightforward: he requested SHIELDâs intervention to extract NâJadaka from the CIAâs custody.
Lin Rui didnât go into detail about NâJadakaâs identity; he simply asked SHIELD to keep a close watch on NâJadaka and preferably keep him alive. Of course, if NâJadaka happened to die accidentally, it wouldnât be a problem either.
As for how SHIELD would react upon receiving Lin Ruiâs message, Lin Rui couldnât control that. After all, he was currently in Wakanda, and even if SHIELD were investigating from the outside, they probably wouldnât discover much. Moreover, if Lin Ruiâs plan went smoothly, he would soon bring Rogers and Tony some very good news.
âIf the plot unfolds like this⊠Wakanda might continue to develop peacefully. So, if I were to reveal my identity now and communicate with TâChalla as one of the founders of the Earth Federation, what are the chances heâd agree to bring Wakanda into the worldâs view?â Lin Rui contemplated his next actions after sending the message. Making Wakanda voluntarily expose itself was one of Lin Ruiâs important objectives.
âOr, Wakanda could remain hidden from the outside world but agree to join the Earth Federation and be prepared to fight when necessary.â In addition to revealing Wakanda to the outside world, Lin Rui had another idea in mind.
However, Lin Ruiâs plans were contingent on everything unfolding as he envisioned. Even if TâChalla wanted to lead Wakanda out of its long-standing isolation, the opposition from various tribal leaders would hinder this progress.
Buckyâs assistance alone wasnât enough to make TâChalla unilaterally decide to reveal Wakanda to the world.
âIf it doesnât work out⊠then Iâll have to resort to some special measures.â
After spending about ten minutes crouched in the restroom, Lin Rui reappeared in the laboratory. By this time, Shuriâs eyes had changed. Her initial deep-seated suspicion had become more pronounced. Lin Rui seemed to have underestimated Wakandaâs ability to locate individuals.
âJackson Lin, thatâs your real name, right? A genius young man from New York, already hailed by multiple media outlets and corporations as a rising star in the new centuryâs science. Youâve been working alongside Tony Stark on various high-tech research projects since your freshman year of high school. Jackson, your real identity doesnât surprise me at all!â When Lin Rui calmly walked up to Shuri, she suddenly spoke at length, and she had indeed uncovered Lin Ruiâs true background.
Whew!
As Shuri spoke, a pale blue holographic projection appeared around her and Lin Rui. Within this holographic area, scenes of Lin Ruiâs life and studies in New York were being played.
Although Tony and Rogers had taken many protective measures to ensure that Lin Ruiâs life wasnât disturbed, such as having SHIELD agents guarding his home and even the entire neighborhood, Shuri had still managed to bypass Tony and SHIELDâs blockades to discover Lin Ruiâs âreal lifeâ situation.
When Wakandaâs intelligence system finally located Lin Ruiâs true identity by scanning his face, Shuri was a bit surprised. However, this surprise had been short-lived. Compared to Lin Ruiâs claim of being Buckyâs nephew and the son of a mercenary, this real identity was undoubtedly more acceptable.
Upon hearing Shuriâs words and seeing the continuous playback of his life around him, Lin Rui couldnât help but express some surprise on his face. However, even if his identity had been exposed, it wouldnât greatly affect Lin Ruiâs upcoming plans. After all, Lin Rui had come with good intentions this time.
âWell⊠I guess you found out!â Lin Rui, feeling a bit embarrassed, waved his hand to dispel the holographic projection surrounding him, which was now nothing more than trash, and then addressed Shuri awkwardly.
âSo, you, the genius rising star of the new century, can you tell me what your and Buckyâs purpose is for coming to Wakanda this time? Donât try to use the same kind of words as before to deceive me. Your background doesnât make me believe easily now,â Shuri said with a hint of satisfaction, having seemingly exposed Lin Ruiâs true identity.
She didnât pay much attention to Lin Ruiâs partial access to Wakandaâs laboratory; instead, she looked at him intently.
Upon hearing Shuriâs words, Lin Rui became much more serious. Seeing the change in Lin Ruiâs expression, Shuri also grew more serious. Moreover, she had quietly instructed the intelligent system to strip Lin Rui of his permissions, so if Lin Rui had any ill intentions, Shuri would have him apprehended in the next moment.
âWell, since you want to know, Iâll tell you. After all, youâve already discovered my true identity,â Lin Rui said earnestly, his tone serious, after regarding Shuri solemnly for a few seconds.
âYouâve already found my true identity,â Lin Rui continued. âI must admit that I underestimated Wakandaâs network technology. My name is Jackson Lin, and Iâm a student and assistant to Tony Stark. I usually follow Mr. Stark and assist him with scientific experiments. Because of the collaboration between Mr. Stark and SHIELD, Iâve had the opportunity to participate in some of SHIELDâs experiments, so Iâve learned things that ordinary people wouldnât knowâŠâ ÉáŒÆá»ïŒąĂÈ
In Shuriâs earnest listening expression, Lin Rui calmly recounted various stories, including his chance meeting and acquaintance with Bucky, the super-soldier who had defected from Hydra, and how he had helped Bucky transition into a normal life.
Later, Lin Rui obtained information about Wakanda from within SHIELD, including what the real Wakanda was like.
Naturally, all this intelligence had been obtained from the mouths of Ulysses and NâJadaka. After all, if Ulysses could collaborate with the CIA, SHIELD would naturally have access to even more information.
Under Lin Ruiâs careful arrangement, his and Buckyâs purpose in coming to Wakanda had been transformed into simply assisting Wakanda in surviving this potential coup.
