However, General Ross was not so easily fooled and looked at Coulson suspiciously.
After a long pause, he finally said, "This wasn't done by you, was it?"
Upon hearing General Ross's words, Coulson couldn't help but stumble, his body swaying, almost falling down.
Are those even human words? What does it have to do with them? Even if he has opinions about S.H.I.E.L.D., there's no need to frame them like this, right?
"I was just saying, your reaction is so big, it can't be true, can it?"
General Ross's face grew even more suspicious.
If he hadn't been afraid of offending General Ross, Coulson would have almost wanted to pick up a stone from the ground and smash it towards General Ross's head in front of him.
To smash it open and see what kind of circuits were inside.
"This matter really has nothing to do with us. If you're truly interested in the cause of the incident, perhaps you can wait a moment. Just now, the scientists from our bureau have arrived, and they are currently analyzing the cause!"
Coulson secretly took a deep breath, calmed himself as much as possible, and then spoke to General Ross.
"You're letting S.H.I.E.L.D.'s people investigate it themselves?"
General Ross's brows furrowed.
"General Ross, if we really wanted to make a move against you, we wouldn't choose this time, nor would we choose you, would we?"
Coulson looked at General Ross's expression and said very seriously.
General Ross listened, watched Coulson for a while, and seeing no unusual expression on Coulson's face, he finally nodded.
Now was indeed not a good time to kill him! If he died, S.H.I.E.L.D. might be the first to be suspected, but S.H.I.E.L.D. would definitely be the first to be attacked.
S.H.I.E.L.D. wasn't that foolish! Besides, not long ago, he had a good meeting with S.H.I.E.L.D., so he wouldn't be a target.
Even if S.H.I.E.L.D. wanted to kill someone, it should be someone else.
He merely disliked and resisted S.H.I.E.L.D., which was far less than some other people who wished S.H.I.E.L.D. would be directly destroyed and dismantled.
"General Ross, your daughter has already gone to the hospital with a group of seriously injured individuals due to her severe injuries. Don't you want to go see her?"
To prevent General Ross from overthinking, Coulson used his ultimate move to divert attention, saying.
General Ross hesitated for a moment, but ultimately still nodded.
The matters here were important, and his daughter was equally important.
Moreover, S.H.I.E.L.D. truly didn't seem to have a reason to have done anything.
Since S.H.I.E.L.D. was willing to intervene in this matter, he would let S.H.I.E.L.D. intervene more, which would be good for shifting responsibility later and letting S.H.I.E.L.D. help clean up the mess and avoid risks.
Coulson was not entirely unaware of General Ross's thoughts.
However, things had reached this point, and there was no way to avoid it. First, he would send General Ross away and then reduce the losses to a certain extent.
Watching General Ross leave, Coulson immediately called over the two scientists from S.H.I.E.L.D. Headquarters and said to them, "How are your arrangements?"
"Officer, the arrangements are complete, but..."
One scientist hesitated to speak.
"Just say it directly. Although we have completed the arrangements and all the necessary traces have been made, we still cannot bypass a key point!"
"Which one?"
"Tony Stark!"
