In fact, those three reports never came into the hands of Alexander, the CIA intelligence chief, or the Senate president.
This is a very real frame-up.
But Alexander and the other two could never explain it clearly.
Especially now.
Ophelia's acting was exceptionally superb; after she finished speaking, she glared angrily at Renn.
Clearly, the other side believes that Ryan has close ties with Nick Fury, Alexander, and others, and that they are even closely related to the disappearance of funds within S.H.I.E.L.D.
For a moment, the entire room fell silent.
But at this moment.
Ryan laughed, his gaze slightly amused as he looked at the military's Air Force Lieutenant General.
"Wow!"
A commotion erupted again in the room, accompanied by the sounds of people drawing air from the room.
Things are getting out of hand.
Unexpectedly, even the military was withdrawn.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the Air Force lieutenant general couldn't take it anymore. His old face flushed with embarrassment, and he said, "Mr. President, I can explain what happened to Nick Fury at Sullivan Group two months ago."
The Grand Commander's face was ashen, and he glared angrily at the Air Force Lieutenant General.
The Air Force lieutenant general was at a loss for words and said with a wry smile, "Mr. President, I swear on my family's behalf, things are not as serious as you think."
The Grand Commander then calmed down slightly and said, "Speak!"
The Air Force lieutenant general wiped away his cold sweat and said, "Two months ago, Tony Stark of Stark Industries went missing after being attacked by terrorists at an arms trade fair in the Middle East."
"The Stark family has intricate connections with the military and S.H.I.E.L.D."
"At the time, Nick Fury, the director of S.H.I.E.L.D., found my trusted confidant, Colonel James Rhodes, and the two of them led a team to cause trouble at Sullivan Corporation."
"After Mr. Ryan Sullivan complained to me, I quickly withdrew James Roddy."
"Because of the close working relationship between the Sullivan Group and the military, Mr. Sullivan did not hold a grudge regarding the incident in which James Roddy led the attack on the Sullivan Group."
"As far as I know, Nick Fury of S.H.I.E.L.D. harbors great malice because he covets the manufacturing method of the lizard serum and has carried out several infiltration and theft operations against the Sullivan Corporation."
"That time, Nick Fury, the director of S.H.I.E.L.D., sent someone to deliver an extraordinary item as an apology."
The Air Force Lieutenant General's words caused the atmosphere in the room to fall silent once again.
Many things, once revealed, are quite ugly.
Raine and Obadiah were secretly trading the Ark Reactor.
S.H.I.E.L.D. covets the method for manufacturing the lizard serum.
Military personnel even led raids on privately-owned companies.
Many people present were stunned by these secrets and remained silent.
And just then.
To everyone's surprise.
Ryan suddenly spoke up: "Mr. President, let me correct you. The apology that Nick Fury sent back then was not one item, but two."
Everyone: "..."

Chapter 190 The Rampage of Grand Commander America
At this moment, Ryan's attitude in front of everyone clearly showed that he was someone who was looking for a good show and didn't care if things got out of hand.
Today, the Frost & Sullivan Group has revealed a number of hidden problems.
Both Ryan and Sullivan Group were involved, but they bear very little responsibility for the various problems that have been exposed.
Private deals, retaliation against S.H.I.E.L.D. and the military, and even extortion of supernatural items from S.H.I.E.L.D.
These actions are all within the officially tacitly approved rules and regulations.
On the contrary, the problems exposed by the military and S.H.I.E.L.D. are more numerous and larger, far exceeding the scope of the officially tacitly approved rules.
A military colonel dared to lead a group of military personnel to storm a large corporation.
The problems exposed by S.H.I.E.L.D. are even more serious. Not only did they target large corporations within their own camp, but they also engaged in internal corruption, mutual cover-ups, and even collusion with aliens.
This is absolutely incredible, it's defying the heavens!
Listening to Ryan's blunt, even slightly exaggerated, words...
Everyone present looked rather grim.
In particular, the Grand Commander glared fiercely at the Air Force Lieutenant General before speaking to Ryan: "Ryan, regarding the matters concerning the military and S.H.I.E.L.D., the White House will not disappoint any of its supporters."
"How about we have the Bai family's advisors discuss this matter with your group?"
The trouble caused by the military and S.H.I.E.L.D.
If the Bai family didn't know, that's fine, but now that they do, they'll definitely have to make some kind of gesture.
Otherwise, if word gets out, other major conglomerates and groups, feeling threatened and worried, might join forces to cause trouble, which could lead to enormous upheaval throughout America.
There's definitely no way to take back the two extraordinary items that S.H.I.E.L.D. sent out.
The Bai family will provide the Sullivan Group with some conveniences and compensation to reassure the wealthy supporters behind the various high-ranking officials.
Renn naturally had no objection to this.
I'm getting this for free, and by the way, I'm giving the Grand Commander some face; it's a favor in the long run.
After settling things off with Rennes...
The Grand Commander, his gaze now somber, looked once more at Ophelia and Barton.
However, as a competent politician, the Grand Commander suppressed his anger after a short while and did not lash out at Ophelia and Barton.
"Ms. Ophelia, are you sure you reported to your superiors before conducting the investigation?"
"Yes, sir, I can provide a complete report of the chain of operations. These are fully documented in S.H.I.E.L.D.'s agent operation files."
Ophelia finished speaking.
The Grand Commander quickly turned his head and nodded to one of his aides.
According to Ophelia's report, the actions of the Director of S.H.I.E.L.D., the former Director, the CIA intelligence chief, and the President of the Senate can be considered very serious crimes and betrayals.
This is a matter of great importance, and we certainly cannot make a conclusion based solely on Ophelia's opinion.
With the highest authority of the White Mansion's Grand Commander, it wouldn't be difficult to inquire about what Ophelia was saying, provided, of course, that Ophelia was telling the truth.
Less than three minutes later.
The White House staff member who had rushed out returned shortly with a tablet computer.
The Grand Admiral stared blankly at the computer screen, but after only a few glances, his face turned ashen.
boom!
This somber atmosphere lasted for less than a minute.
The Grand Commander, unable to contain himself any longer, slammed the tablet computer onto the table with a loud bang.
"Damn bastards, what are they trying to do? What are they trying to do?"
"This is treason, it's damned treason!"
"Fuck you! These sons of bitches should all be hanged..."
If we broaden the definition a bit, everyone present could be considered a close confidant of the Grand Commander, with their interests inextricably linked to those of America.
Therefore, this Grand Commander did not mind cursing loudly in front of everyone.
The staff of the Bai family were extremely familiar with the style of this Grand Commander.
After the Grand Chief had vented his anger, the other party naturally took out a second tablet computer and presented it to the Grand Chief again.
Asking for flowers
After giving it a cursory glance, the Grand Commander waved his hand.
The Bai family advisor quickly withdrew with his tablet and stood aside, motionless like a wooden statue.
The displeased Grand Commander remained silent for a few seconds before finally speaking: "Ms. Ophelia, Agent Barton, what else have you found out?"
"If it's about the Sullivan Group, then don't say anything."
"I just want to know what those damn Alexander and Nick Fury did behind America's back?"
After hearing the Grand Commander's words.
Barton was completely dumbfounded, his head down, not knowing what to say at all.
Ophelia, on the other hand, frowned slightly, looking somewhat troubled, and said, "Sir, it has only been two months since we discovered the problem. I'm sorry, we can't get any concrete evidence."
"After all, within S.H.I.E.L.D., even within America, and even within the entire Security Council, we have very few people we can trust and can mobilize..."
