Cyberpunk: Legends of Life

Chapter 15 Dilemma
evening.

The dappled afterglow of twilight illuminates Santo Domingo late.

In the apartment of the super skyscraper H4, the neon light on the ceiling of the living room emits a blue shadow light.

Tang Yu sat on the main sofa in an extremely comfortable posture, with a suit jacket casually draped over his shoulders, and a small half cup of brown-red whiskey was placed on the glass coffee table in front of him.

Gloria's red ponytail was a little darker under the blue light and shadow. Even after drinking a few sips of wine, she still looked cautious. Compared with Tang Yu's comfortable posture, she seemed to be a guest.

The layout of her home has neither style nor taste, and is even a bit messy. If possible, she would like to invite Tang Yu to a high-end restaurant, even if it costs more, it will not let outsiders see the embarrassment at home.

She has done a lot of dirty work outside, but she doesn't feel that there is anything wrong with being among the hard-working crowd, and inviting guests to her home like today is like shining the stage spotlight on herself, It's overwhelming.

Gloria couldn't hold her breath after all. Sitting on the sofa, Tang Yu neither talked about the prosthetic body, nor said that he wanted to get back the medical expenses or compensation. He just talked briefly about David's condition from beginning to end. This made her sit on pins and needles, so she forced a smile and asked.

"Mr. Tang, I'm sorry, the apartment is indeed a bit shabby"

"Are you waiting for someone?"

Tang Yu didn't answer directly, but talked about his past.

"I've lived in apartments like this before."

"I had nothing at the time, but luckily I found a good buddy, a real friend."

"Later, something happened to my buddy. We parted for a long time, so long that I almost forgot what he looked like. Fortunately, he came back."

"Sometimes I really want to change things, but the city tends to get you."

"And now you also have such an opportunity to change some things."

Gloria heard Tang Yu's emotion and thought it was the reunion of the other party's friends who had been away for many years, so she felt a little bit emotional in her heart, but she didn't quite understand what kind of opportunity there was and what kind of things to change, so she said.

"You saved me and David. This incident itself has changed a lot. Now no matter what request you make, I actually have no room to refuse."

Gloria's expression revealed helplessness. Poverty does not allow even a single mistake in her life. Just one mistake is enough to destroy this already fragile family.

She took the initiative to get up and go to the table in the room, took the stolen military-grade Swanweistan prosthetic body, and held it in front of Tang Yu.

"To be honest, there's nothing left in this house now except that it's worth some money."

After speaking, Gloria took out another stack of banknotes from her body and placed them on top of the bag containing the prosthetic body.

Tang Yu visually inspected the thickness of the banknote, which was about [-] Euro gold, and said in a deep voice instead of reaching out to pick it up.

"Put the money away, I'm not here to ask you for treatment."

"At the end of the day, you and David's car accident is directly related to me."

at this time.

Suddenly there was movement in the bedroom.

David stood at the door of the bedroom weakly holding the door frame, looking at the mother and the stranger in the living room.

Seeing David wake up, Gloria immediately hid the prosthetic body behind her back, and said in a panic.

"David, you're awake, are you feeling better?"

David nodded, but his eyes kept falling on Tang Yu, with doubts and vigilance.

Gloria saw her son's doubts, and quickly explained to David.

"This is Mr. Tang, who arranged for us to be admitted to the Trauma Team Medical Center."

Only then did David relax a bit, Tang Yu's figure gradually overlapped with the back of the memory of the car accident that day in his mind, and the person he saw at the last moment of coma that day was Tang Yu on the sofa.

David whispered to Tang Yu, "Thank you."

As if it was not enough, he added: "I will repay you in the future."

He is used to suffering and is not used to being favored by others, especially if the other party is a member of the Arasaka company. In his eyes, those people in Arasaka are all arrogant and look down on others.

And this time, he and his mother had to repay the life-saving grace, but right now they were so poor that they couldn't even turn on the washing machine, so they couldn't afford to pay back the huge sum of money.

Moreover, he didn't know why he felt severe pain in his left waist, just like the pain of having his kidney cut off in his dream. If he didn't wake up and find that there was no surgical wound, he really doubted that he had had a kidney cut operation.

Waking up in the dream feels the pain and tiredness, which is really as heavy as the real experience, which makes people unable to relax.

Seeing that David's attitude didn't seem right, Gloria knew that his resistance and stubbornness towards Arasaka were still strong and persistent. She wanted David to apologize, but when she saw her son's weak expression, she gave up in her heart.

Gloria had no choice but to look at Tang Yu, and then sincerely spoke for David.

"Sorry, please forgive me. After all, David just woke up from a coma. We are really grateful to Mr. Tang for your life-saving grace."

Just as Gloria apologized.

Sudden.

The door of the apartment was slammed open from the outside, and all three of them looked at the door together.

I saw a big black man with a big waist and a round waist as the leader, with a golden airplane head and long-rimmed sunglasses, and his expression was not very friendly.

Next to her was a fierce girl in a hollow jacket, and standing at the back was a bearded man with thin arms and legs and sunglasses.

It wasn't until all three of them walked into the room that they finally walked into a tall girl with a mask wrapped in a dark red leather coat.

Gloria exclaimed.

"Mann?!"

When the black burly man in the lead saw the prosthetic body packaging bag and a stack of paper currency-like packages hidden in Gloria's hand, as if he was going to give it to the "Young Master" next to him, he said in a thick and unfriendly tone. asked.

"I haven't answered the phone to play disappearance. You want to give him the prosthetic body you sold me? Don't you know the fate of not keeping promises in this business?"

At this moment, the tall red leather-clothed woman next to her covered her temples with her hands, stared at Tang Yu and said calmly.

"He didn't install a prosthetic body, so he couldn't read any information."

Mann didn't make a sound, and still looked at Gloria and the others coldly. If the other party didn't hand over Sian Westin today, it would be absolutely inevitable to do something.

Gloria hurriedly stood in front of Tang Yu and explained eagerly: "It's not what you think! This matter has nothing to do with Mr. Tang! The reason why the delivery was not made was because David and I had a car accident yesterday !"

Mann remained expressionless: "Then since you're awake, why haven't you answered the phone or come to me? I've already advanced the money to you."

Because he trusted Gloria at the beginning, he put [-] Euros into the other party's account in advance, but disappeared on the day he agreed to the deal, which made him feel betrayed and deceived.

Faced with Mann's questioning, Gloria was in a dilemma and didn't know how to explain this matter. It wasn't that she didn't want to give the things to Mann, but Tang Yu never agreed, but she couldn't return the [-] Euro Give it to Mann, because she really needs that money right now!
With David watching all this, she really didn't know how to explain this matter clearly. If David knew that he had stolen the prosthetic body, it would make him even more embarrassed in front of his classmates!
"It's all my fault."

Just as Gloria was praying that the matter would not become a big deal, and was about to take care of all the problems alone, she heard a voice behind her.

"Gloria, it's none of your business."

"Mann, it's me who wants to talk business with you."
