Cyberpunk: Legends of Life

Chapter 193 Strange Buzzing

Arasaka Tower.

Exclusive director's office.

Sitting at the desk, Michiko rubbed the center of her brows with two fingers, showing a bit of fatigue.

These days, she has been dealing with various matters in Arasaka Tower, and even the rest time is very tight.

Seeing the pile of urgent reports in front of her, she wondered if the Mercury has gone retrograde recently. Not only is Night City uneasy, but bad news from other parts of North America is also pouring in, as if rushing.

Agitated, Michiko took out a cigar, cut off the top, lit it, and took two puffs.

The spicy smoky smell calmed her down a little.

She leaned back in the seat, squeezed a cigar, and began to think about all the things that had happened recently.

Those directors, as if they had negotiated, pushed the issue of responsibility at this juncture, each with an attitude that you can figure it out.

Xiao Michiko knew that this must be inseparable from the influence of Arasaka Yoshinobu. Since he came to Night City, the wind direction has changed overnight.

This time, she really felt the powerful influence of Arasaka's heir.

But she was not reconciled.

It is obvious that her father, Arasaka Takashi, was once the orthodox heir, and the Night City Arasaka Tower embodies all her father's hard work.

If it wasn't for the nuclear explosion, her career in Arasaka Company should not have been so embarrassing.

Michiko is not a person who likes to immerse herself in the sad past. After the rebuilding of the Night City Arasaka Tower, thanks to her efforts, it began to restore its former glory.

But this hard-won achievement is now being handed over to her uncle Arasaka Yoshinobu, a guy who doesn't cherish the hard work of the Arasaka family at all.

She knows better than anyone else that Raisaka Arasaka's purpose for asking for power is that he and the Arasaka family are not of one mind at all.

The only thing that Arasaka Yoshinobu has in common with the family is the same surname.

Sometimes Michiko really doesn't understand why his grandfather Saburo insists on appointing Arasaka Yoshinobu as his successor and tolerates his rebellion and mistakes again and again.

in contrast.

Others dare not go against Master Saburo's wishes at all, Xiao Michiko is sure that if she does what Lai Xuan does, she will definitely be rejected like a dog.

This storm has come.

In the smoke, Xiao Michiko's eyes were heavy, and she couldn't help but think of Tang Yu's euphemism to persuade her that night.

Learn to be patient and avoid its edge.

It's not that she doesn't understand this truth. What really frightens her is that if Yoshinobu Arasaka still wants to kill her after putting down the weapon in her hand, then she really has no room to turn around.

Xiao Michiko realizes that the change of power may be inevitable, and what she has to do now is to win more right to speak before that day comes.

Just as she was thinking hard, the private secretary outside the door asked to meet.

She silently acquiesced.

The private secretary walked into the office and reported the situation to Michiko with a serious expression. The Arasaka transport convoy on the outskirts of the city was robbed again. This time the loss was not small. According to the clips sent back from the scene, it can be concluded that the same group of people attacked before.

Hearing this news, Michiko, who had just calmed down, became angry again.

She smothered the cigar she just took a puff on the table, and said coldly: "It seems that there is no end."

Xiao Michiko asked the exclusive secretary to call up all the principals in charge of the special operations department, counterintelligence department, transportation department, and security department.

She wants to reprimand them one by one today. Anyway, they are not going to have a good life, and everyone will have no peace.

These guys who enjoy the high salary, high treatment and high status of the Arasaka company do not do their jobs seriously, but instead sharpen their heads and try to take advantage of the opportunity, which makes Xiao Michiko very angry.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that they have their own minds and delay this matter again and again. As long as the blame is finally thrown to the military technology, everyone can shirk responsibility and unanimously speak out.

Now not only the members of the board of directors are enclosing themselves and carve up the departments and factions of Arasaka Tower, but even the middle and high-level people below are playing with the wind and seeing what the upper-level intends to do.

sometimes.

She really wanted to do a big cleaning and throw all these wine bags and rice bags into the sea to feed the fish.

I have to admit that Arasaka Yoshinobu's influence in Night City is really strong, whether it is the company or the street, intelligence and news about him are being circulated.

However, she, the person who devoted all her efforts to rebuilding the Arasaka Tower, did not have much sense of existence, and now there are very few people who are worthy of her trust and are reliable.

In the office, the department heads that Michiko called up by name stood in a row in front of him, calmly.

Seeing that this group of company executives might not be as good as Tang Yu alone, she sneered in her heart.

Watson, Little Chinatown, in a high-end apartment.

Tang Yu was on the phone, and Gloria on the other end of the phone reported the work situation.

Tang Yu arranged for her to investigate some situations before, and used the intelligence network she operated to secretly collect information. Regarding the recent movements of major gangs, the focus was on the suburbs.

Tang Yu had to first confirm whether the person who did it was disguised by a gang in the city, but it is estimated that the possibility is unlikely.

On the phone, Gloria explained the snooping situation in detail.

"The girls are in various streets and alleys, and have inquired from different customer groups. There have been no gangs in the city that have secret activities in the suburbs recently."

"Generally, there are not many who dare to take this job. Because the Wildman King was seriously injured, the Animal Gang has been shrinking in Taiping Prefecture to manage their one-acre three-point land, fighting against the remnants of Haiti. Compared with before, the frequency of activities is low. a lot of."

"The Whirlpool Gang has also been ruled out. They act in a surly manner, and it is impossible to leave no trace at the scene."

"The Sixth Street Gang, which is closely related to military technology, has also been following them. They have recently been busy competing with Valentino for the sphere of influence, and they cannot spare elite troops to attack the Arasaka stronghold."

"As for the Tiger Claw Gang, they have the strength to form this group of elites, but it is absolutely impossible for them to secretly attack the Arasaka stronghold unless they are special people."

After Tang Yu finished listening, he basically judged that this unknown force did not come from Night City.

Sato from the Tiger Claw Gang treats Arasaka like a god, and after the last training, he is much more honest. Even if Arasaka Yoshinobu comes to Night City in person, he will think carefully about what he holds in Michiko's hands.

"Well, there is no need to investigate the Tiger Claw Gang, this matter should be buried first."

Gloria naturally obeyed Tang Yu's arrangement, and she would never act without authorization, leading to information leakage.

After talking about the business, Gloria tactfully mentioned David's joining Arasaka Company, and thanked Tang Yu for his help.

In her opinion, David's smooth entry into Arasaka Tower must be arranged and supported by Tang Yu.

Otherwise, how could it just happen to be assigned to the Special Operations Department and continue to do things under Tang Yu's hands.

Tang Yu explained indifferently that David joined the Arasaka Tower according to the prescribed procedures. As for the assignment to the Special Operations Department, he did not tell Gloria too much for the time being, so as not to worry her.

It seems that he is the deputy director of the special operations department and can be in charge of David's department, but the reality is that this part-time job itself is a product of struggle.

After Susan Abernathy came back, if he intervened in David's affairs, he would have killed David instead.

As a result of this assignment, Tang Yu felt the breath of conspiracy.

Even though he hadn't taken care of David specifically in the company, there were always people with ulterior motives who would inevitably implicate David.

This is why it is said that Tang Yu is dangerous, even with people who have his breath.

David is just a baby at all, and in the stormy struggle of the company's top management, he may be affected to the point where his body is damaged, and his life may even be in danger.

For now, though, David is safe.

As long as Tang Yu is still in this position for a day and is reused by Saburo Arasaka, those enemies who stare at him will have to weigh the importance.

After all, Tang Yu, as a lone wolf, once he lost his mind and went crazy, he would peel off his skin if he was bitten and survived.

Those who offended him back then almost didn't end well.

After finishing the call with Gloria, Tang Yu called up the contact interface again and found Aunt Mei's contact information.

The matter of investigating the attack on the Arasaka stronghold can only be resolved by falling on Aunt Mei.

When the phone was dialed, the unique smell of a woman's voice came to my ears.

"Oh, why, you took the initiative to call just a few days ago, have you changed your temper?"

Hearing Aunt Mei's ridicule, Tang Yu replied solemnly: "This is not an urgent matter that I can't solve by myself, so I naturally thought of you."

Aunt Mei smiled lightly and said, "You only think of me when there is something urgent? How urgent is this matter? Tell me, where is the fire burning?"

Tang Yu didn't hide it either, he cooperated tacitly with Aunt Mei many times, and both of them knew where the bottom line was.

He gave a general account of the attacks on the outskirts of Arasaka city and the transport convoy recently, and wanted to confirm which of them were caused by military technology.

After listening, Aunt Mei smiled maliciously: "If you want to know this information, you will cross the line. Is it possible to say that military technology has attacked the Arasaka stronghold?"

Meredith changed the subject and said with a smile: "But I'm in a good mood today, so it's okay to tell you. Guess, if you guess correctly, I'll give you a piece of information for free."

Good mood?
Tang Yu followed her mind and asked: "Let me guess, is it a promotion, and he is also the director of public diplomacy."

On the other end of the phone, Meredith smiled even more happily, and joked: "Tsk tsk tsk, you are indeed from the counterintelligence department, and you can even inquire about the internal personnel information of military technology. The upper management just made a motion today, and you already know the result." , how about you send me a few hidden stakes, and let's exchange them?"

The reason why Tang Yu could guess it was because Aunt Mei was promoted to this position, but this time the time was much earlier.

The matter of sending hidden piles has crossed the line, Tang Yu naturally smiled and perfunctory.

Meredith also took it as a joke, and readily agreed to Tang Yu's request, telling him which of these invaded strongholds were the hands of military technology.

Moreover, in order to reward Tang Yu, Meredith decided to give him another surprise. The things were placed in the 'kept tight' motel for him to pick up.

Before hanging up the phone, Meredith complained bitterly: "No one is around, and there is no place to share the joy of promotion, so I can only be rewarded in the hotel alone."

Tang Yu couldn't deny that there were not many strong women like Aunt Mei who could control her.

call ended.

Tang Yu immediately went out, went to the motel, found the room designated by Aunt Mei and opened the door to enter the house.

In the huge couple's suite, the pink ambient light sets off the ambiguous atmosphere.

"buzzing"

Tang Yu heard a movement, and found that it came from the red big round shop, hidden under the quilt.

So curiously approached and lifted the quilt.

two things.

A black memory chip.

An indescribable instrument is emitting a restless frequency, and it seems to be a little wet.

Tang Yu: "."

　None tonight!
