Mike’s sudden appearance really scared John.
He looked at Mike, his face changed for a moment, and said, “Are you a mutant?”
After a pause, he said nervously again, “You know all about it?”
“Pretty much, if you’re willing to talk to me in detail.”
John couldn’t help but say, “If you know, you should understand that I have no choice now.”
“No.” Mike smiled faintly and said, “There is a choice.”
He pointed to himself and said, “If it’s about your wife, it can still help you.”
John was surprised, “You’re going to help me rob a prison?”
“You think too much.”
John sighed and said, “No, there’s no better way now than to rob the prison, please get out of the way, I don’t want to stir you up …… Hey hey, what are you doing?”
Before he could finish his sentence, he was grabbed by the neck by Mike and then walked towards his car parked not far away.
“Cut the crap, if I say I can help you, I can help you.”
Mike said indifferently, John struggled hard twice, and after he couldn’t break free, he showed a bitter smile.
“Open the door!”
Mike raised an eyebrow at John, and after John opened the door, shoved the other side into the driver’s seat of the car, and then got into the passenger seat himself.
“Tell me, what’s going on?”
John’s lips mumbled, sighed long and said, “My wife got involved in a murder case and was put in jail with solid evidence, you know that, right?”
“Yes, you told me about it.”
“Some time ago, she committed suicide while in prison, and luckily she was found.”
“Well, and then what?”
John scratched his head with both hands, leaned back in pain, and said, “If I don’t save her, she’ll still kill herself, she’s innocent!”
“Do you believe she’s innocent?”
John nodded without hesitation and said, “I know her, she wouldn’t kill anyone at all.”
“Good.”
Mike mused and said, “I’ll have someone help find the evidence, with their speed, it won’t take long and we should have the results.”
“Thanks.” John said thank you, squeezed out a smile, and said, “But she’s being transferred to prison in two days, and there’s not enough time.”
At the time of the transfer, his wife would definitely kill herself.
Mike smiled faintly and said, “It won’t happen.”
He took out his cell phone and said, “Give me a minute.”
Pressing a number, after getting through, he said straightforwardly, “Do me a favour.”
“A favour? I didn’t hear you right!”
Nick Fury was amazed.
Mike said, “Cut the crap! Help me check out a case ……”
Turning his head to John, he said, “Your wife’s name.”
“Lana Brennan.”
Mike nodded and told Nick Fury the name: “She was involved in a murder case, but I think she’s innocent, help me check it out.”
“Who is she? Your …… hehehe!”
“My neighbour’s wife.”
“What? You’re calling me at this hour in the middle of the night for a neighbour?”
Nick Fury looked speechless and said angrily, “For such a shitty thing, you’re calling my emergency number?”
“Hmm.” Mike answered, ignoring Nick Fury’s cursing on the phone and said to himself, “By the way, she will be transferred to prison in two days, find a way to keep her here first.” Mike looked at John and said, “This is done now, then have Lana call her husband, I’ll wait for the call.”
With those words, Mike hung up the phone directly.
On the other end, cursing Nick Fury looked at his phone was hung up, a burst of gas knot.
But after a few seconds, he sighed and made the call.

In the car, John looked at Mike, who had finished his call, and said, “How did it go?”
“Hold on, we’ll have news in a minute.”
Mike said faintly, leaned back in his seat and closed his eyes.
A few minutes later, John’s phone rang, and he picked up the phone with a shaky hand: “Hello.”
“John!”
An excited woman’s voice rang out.
“Lana.”
John’s voice trembled slightly as he said, “How’s it going? Did you not have to transfer to prison?”
“How do you know?” Lana asked rhetorically, and then said excitedly, “They just informed me and told me to call you, but how is that possible?”
“Lana, listen to me!” John said excitedly, “I have a friend who can help us, and he was the one who helped with your transfer to prison, so please, you must stop killing yourself, there is hope for us.”
“Hope? Really?”
His wife couldn’t help but get excited as well.
“Yes.”
John nodded his head and soothed his wife.
This time on the phone, there was no time limit, and they talked quite a bit, and when they hung up, John looked at Mike with some embarrassment.
“Thanks, Mike! Thank you! You saved us!”
John looked at Mike excitedly, his eyes slightly red.
In two years, this was the best news he had ever heard.
Mike smiled, patted John’s shoulder, and said, “Can we go back now?”
John took a deep breath and nodded his head.
On the way back, John and Mike chatted idly and soon returned home.
Standing in front of the house, Mike said to John: “Go back and get a good night’s sleep, and pretend that today’s incident never happened, it won’t take long, things should come to a head.”
“Thanks!”
John hugged Mike excitedly.
Mike patted John’s shoulder, turned around and opened the door to the room, and closed the door after nodding to John who was standing outside the door.
……
Wednesday.
Perhaps because Nick Fury gave the order, or perhaps the speed of S.H.I.E.L.D. investigating the case is really fast.
It was only three days before they found a suspicious lead and then caught the suspect.
It was a drug-addicted street girl.
It was she who killed Lana’s female boss with a fire extinguisher that day, and then robbed the other party of her money.
As for Lana, she was indeed innocent, but by a series of coincidences, all the evidence pointed to her, so she became a hundred mouths to feed for the murderer.
“Thanks, Fury.”
Listen to the whole process, Mike said thanks.
According to Nick Fury, at noon today, Lana is already doing the release process. No surprises, before dinner will be able to go home.
Mike hung up the phone and headed out the door.
He had to buy to go grocery shopping.
When he got home from his supermarket run, Gwen was already back, and there were three other people in the house besides Gwen.
John, Luke and John’s wife.
It was a blonde woman, before Mike came in, she was looking deeply at her husband and children, eyes like glued to them, refused to leave for a second.
Hearing the door open, the eyes of the four instantly fell on Mike.
“Daddy!”
Gwen called out, happily running towards Mike, squeezing her eyes at Mike and saying, “You’re awesome.”
