"Is this the famous General Tso's Chicken? It's far worse than spicy chicken, a bad review!"
"I feel like foreigners don't understand the true use of chili peppers at all!"
… …
"Haha, I'm dying of laughter! I didn't expect something like this to actually happen."
"The Police, in order to save a teenager attempting suicide, shot him dead before he could commit suicide! What a talent!"
… …
"What's going on? How the hell did he crash like this?"
"Is this idiot driving with his butt?"
… …
For the next two full weeks, the diary was filled with such trivial matters.
There was nothing related to this World, nothing related to Tony Stark, or anything else worth Tony Stark's attention.
Not even a tiny bit.
Absolutely no value.
Or rather, the only value.
Was that Tony Stark could gain a deeper understanding of Zhou Cheng through these complaints, shares, and records.
It allowed the puzzle of Zhou Cheng to become increasingly complete.
That was all.
Tony Stark did indeed screen the 273 "candidates" based on the contents of the diary.
Reducing the number to 219 people.
Although the scope was still a bit large, Tony Stark believed that as the other party's diary continued to update.
He would one day truly find that Zhou Cheng.
However, although there was no progress in the diary, Tony Stark had made great achievements in other aspects.
Within these two weeks.
Tony Stark had quietly connected Jarvis to the networks of relevant departments through his own means.
Jarvis had already begun to decrypt those key encrypted files.
With Jarvis's era-leading, cheat-like computing power, Tony Stark believed that results would be produced very soon.
As expected.
"Sir, the relevant video has been decrypted. Howard's true cause of death has been found."
Just half an hour later, Tony Stark received a reminder from Jarvis.
Tony Stark's spirits immediately lifted, and he immediately instructed Jarvis: "What are you waiting for? Play it now!"
"Sir, I need to remind you to be mentally prepared first. The footage will be quite impactful for you."
Jarvis did not play it immediately, but instead issued another reminder to Tony Stark.
Tony Stark's expression couldn't help but sink slightly.
It seemed his parents were indeed murdered!
What the diary said was true!
In fact, by now, Tony Stark basically had no great doubts about that diary.
Not only had many things mentioned in the diary been verified.
But more importantly.
Tony Stark had tried to show the diary to Pepper Potts, but she couldn't even see it!
She couldn't even touch it.
Happy was the same!
Except for Tony Stark himself and his loyal butler Jarvis.
This diary simply did not exist for anyone else.
Even when Tony Stark wanted to tell others about the diary, he would be choked by a mysterious force.
Making him unable to speak at all.
It was simply bizarre.
Clearly.
The diary contained a power that Tony Stark could not understand.
This thing was not what he previously thought it was, some kind of technological means like spatial teleportation.
Now it seemed, this was clearly something supernatural.
Would such a thing deceive Tony Stark?
Of course, this possibility could not be ruled out, but obviously, this possibility was small.
Whoosh!
Adjusting his breathing.
Tony Stark no longer hesitated and gave the order to Jarvis: "Jarvis, play it."
Swish!
A corresponding image was projected in front of Tony Stark.
On the extremely low-resolution screen.
A car sped along a country road, as if out of control.
Tony Stark's expression immediately tightened.
How could he not recognize that it was his parents' car!
Up to this point, the screen had not shown any abnormalities, as if a genuine car accident had occurred.
The surveillance footage released by the Police and various departments at that time was also this segment.
But now Tony Stark knew that this footage had been edited.
There was more to come!
As expected.
Under Tony Stark's gaze.
A person with long hair and a metal arm appeared on a motorcycle.
He first brutally punched Howard Stark's head several times, beating Howard to death.
Then he dragged Howard Stark like a dead dog and stuffed him back into the car.
And then.
He strangled Maria Stark, who was in the passenger seat, to death!
Bang! Bang!
Tony Stark's fists clenched instantly, and his teeth bit down even harder.
His eyes were filled with anger and an unspeakable killing intent!
No matter who the murderer was, no matter what his identity, Tony Stark would make him die!
Tony Stark wanted to avenge his parents!
"Jarvis, who is that killer?"
Tony Stark immediately began to question Jarvis.
"Sir, there is very little identity information about this person. Even I have only found some scattered fragments."
"His true identity is currently unknown, but his codename is Winter Soldier."
"This is an existence rumored in legends."
"Many intelligence departments do not even believe in the existence of such a person."
"And those who believe he exists all call him Winter Soldier."
"His background is unknown, but over the past fifty years, he has been considered the perpetrator of more than twenty assassination cases."
"Howard was just one of them."
"This is a ghost, Sir."
Tony Stark's expression became more solemn than ever before.
He had long known that the person who attacked his parents must not be simple.
Undoubtedly possessing immense power to cover up all of this flawlessly.
But the matter being so troublesome still exceeded Tony Stark's expectations.
Leaving aside other things, the first step alone was so thorny.
He couldn't even confirm the killer's true identity!
If even the killer was of this level, then the true mastermind behind the scenes must be on a completely different level.
His power was absolutely unfathomable.
But even so, Tony Stark had no intention of giving up.
"Jarvis, comprehensively investigate this Winter Soldier. I need to know everything about him!"
"I want to know who he is, and I want to know who is behind him!"
Tony Stark declared to Jarvis with powerful conviction.
