This was the first time Tang Youming felt so overwhelmed since he took power.
Not even when he was commanding battles and wars in the past had he felt so troublesome.
An Iron Person, who appeared from nowhere, was said to heavily overlap with the popular sci-fi movie character Iron Man, almost as if he had stepped out of the movie, leaving him utterly clueless.
"Someone!"
"Go investigate where this Iron Person came from. No matter what, you must find him for me!"
Tang Youming said sternly.
"Yes, sir!"
His subordinate took the order.
No sooner had his subordinate left than Tang Xiaoya walked in, smiling sweetly, carrying an insulated lunch box: "Grandpa, I've brought you something to eat! This time it wasn't made by Mom, it's chicken soup I personally stewed. Please try it and see how it tastes!"
"Haha, good, I'll try Xiaoya's 'Zero Three Three' cooking skills."
Tang Youming swept away his previous anxiety, a warm and kind smile returning to his face as he took the chicken soup from Tang Xiaoya.
"Oh right, Xiaoya, do you know about the Iron Person that appeared in Magic City?"
Tang Youming asked casually.
After all, this matter had already spread throughout the city and was no longer a secret.
"Iron Person?"
Tang Xiaoya looked puzzled, clearly unaware of the matter.
"Look at this."
Tang Youming pointed to the photo on his desk.
Tang Xiaoya only took one glance and immediately showed a look of sudden realization: "Oh~ you mean Iron Man!"
"You know?"
"Of course I know! He's the protagonist of a very popular sci-fi movie, a superhero!"
Tang Xiaoya nodded.
"This Iron Person has now appeared from the movie!"
"And just now, he circled over Magic City, causing a huge stir. Our radar couldn't track him, and his identity is extremely mysterious!"
Tang Youming said, his voice lowering.
"The real Iron Man?!"
Tang Xiaoya's eyes showed surprise. She quickly picked up the photo and only then realized that the background was a familiar commercial pedestrian street, and all the people around were Chinese.
At this moment, a flash of inspiration suddenly struck Tang Xiaoya.
"Pym Particles...could Iron Man be..."
A look of pleasant surprise welled up on Tang Xiaoya's face.
Noticing the change in Tang Xiaoya's expression, Tang Youming's eyes flashed: "Xiaoya, do you know who it is?"
"This..."
Tang Xiaoya looked troubled.
She had promised Su Yan not to tell anyone about this.
"Don't worry, tell me, I won't hurt him! Now, because the matter has become too big, Beijing Central has already started paying close attention. If it continues to drag on, there might be bad consequences!"
Tang Youming said, staring at Tang Xiaoya, not even bothering to drink his chicken soup.
This matter's impact was too great. If it continued to drag on, who knew what consequences would arise?
Of course, the sooner they knew, the better!
"Grandpa, this Iron Man is very likely...it's Su Yan!"
"Actually, I'm not sure, but I think it's possible... Grandpa, you must promise me, don't hurt him!"
Tang Xiaoya quickly said.
"Su Yan?!"
"Right! This genius kid Su, how could I forget him!"
Tang Youming's eyes lit up. "Come on, Xiaoya, you and I will go to Su Yan's house. We must clarify this matter!"
…
At the same time, because of Su Yan's high-profile show-off, the internet was once again blown up by him.
Following the "Future Invasion" phone, another huge public opinion storm was unleashed.
With countless eyewitnesses, there were pictures, videos, everything... and from different angles, distances, and environments.
Every time something new appeared, new pictures or audio-visuals would emerge, making the onlookers joyful.
It had to be said that the speed of internet information dissemination was indeed explosive. In less than an hour, the news of Iron Man's appearance had already swept across the entire network.
"Friendly Nations," "Blank," and major social media platforms... without exception, all were flooded with these pictures and videos of Iron Man.
Especially the segment where Iron Man greeted people in Chinese, which was frantically forwarded and reposted. Everyone was wildly guessing whether the person inside the steel war suit was truly Chinese!
Coupled with the widespread use of the "Future Invasion" phone, no matter where you went, you could almost always see someone using holographic projection to check Weibo hot searches for topics like #IronMan# and #IronManIsChinese#.
"Iron Man is not a legend after all! Someone really invented him!"
"My cousin touched Iron Man! He said it was real metal, not plastic!"
"What did I say? Iron Man definitely exists, he was just hiding all along!"
"Haha, ahh! I regret it! I should have gone to the pedestrian street today. Why did I sleep in? Now it's too late, I missed the chance to see Iron Man with my own eyes. Why is my life so bad?!"
"Holy crap! Even Iron Man has appeared, doesn't that mean Hulk, Captain America, and Black Panther will appear too?! Could Marvel really have predicted this?"
"This situation is serious! If Iron Man is really put into battle, which country could stand against him? I hope Iron Man is really Chinese, otherwise, it will be bad luck!"
"How do I feel that the Iron Man inside is Su Yan?! It seems only he could create such a cool thing!"
"I also think it's Su Yan! Even the Future Invasion phone was invented by him, so making an Iron Man isn't surprising! And the most crucial thing is... Iron Man appeared in Magic City! Isn't that where Grand God Technology's headquarters is located?!"
"..."
People on the internet first expressed various exclamations, and then immediately shifted to guessing who Iron Man really was.
Almost 80% of them unanimously believed that Iron Man was Su Yan.
They had witnessed on live television how Su Yan used that mysterious technology to save people during the Seoul earthquake.
The epoch-making "Future Invasion" phone also came from Su Yan's hands.
Now that another high-tech marvel had appeared, naturally, all the spotlight converged on Su Yan.
"Could it really be Su Yan?!"
With the internet spreading so widely, how could envoys from various countries not have seen it?
He himself was constantly paying attention to the developments in China, and he received the news of Iron Man's appearance immediately... To be honest, even they were shocked. They never expected a character from a movie to actually appear in reality.
"Quick: Immediately send people to confirm if the news is true!"
If Su Yan really created Iron Man, then things would be out of control.
The envoys of various countries all had extremely grim expressions.
