Cyberpunk: Legends of Life

Chapter 29 Mind

Embers Restaurant.

Two Arasaka executives were meeting in the bathroom.

A few customers who were about to enter the restroom saw Tanaka Arasaka's identity and found that something was wrong, so they turned around and left.

Everyone in Night City knows that they must not provoke the company at will, especially the Arasaka company. If they inadvertently know the secrets of Arasaka's high-level officials, they will probably cause troubles that will not escape them.

Tanaka didn't intend to mention what happened to his son in the bathroom, because he had already seen that Katsuo Tanaka was slapped by Tang Yu, but it was not a serious injury.

He was more concerned about the data he wanted, about the human body operation data of the prosthetic body. This matter involved an extremely important prototype installation experiment, which was still in the confidential research stage, so he continued to ask.

"Aren't you afraid that Abernathy will target you and sabotage your actions?"

"As far as I know, Arthur Jenkins has entrusted you with the task of finding military-grade Swanstein operational data"

"And I don't want to see the task of the prosthetic body being affected by the struggle between your two departments"

Tang Yu didn't have much dealings with Tanaka before, but he decided that he was definitely not a fuel-efficient lamp. The R&D department belongs to the absolute core department of Arasaka Company. It is impossible for Saburo Arasaka to let an outsider take charge. He shook off the water stains on his hands and took a paper towel to dry them , and went on to say:

"I think you should tell that bastard Abernathy about this."

"I'm just a deputy director of the counterintelligence department, and I don't have that much energy in Night City"

"Working so hard for the company, and being targeted by the company's director of special operations, and even committing an assassination attack, no wonder people outside say that Arasaka is a kennel."

After speaking, he threw the tissue into the hidden wall-mounted trash bin, and walked out of the bathroom calmly.

Tang Yu doesn't need Tori Tanaka at all. He has already been targeted by a special operations director in the company. It's okay to have an extra R&D department. Besides, Jenkins promoted him, and he has nothing to do with Tanaka and others. The most important thing is to be able to get things done, the more submissive you are, the more you will be trampled on like cigarette butts, and you don't forget to crush it twice.

Tanaka frowned faintly to reveal displeasure. He had always been proud of the deepness of the city, but for the young man in front of him, he felt extremely nasty and irritable for no reason, and even clenched his hands in his trouser pockets tightly.

A moment of silence.

Tanaka still chose to walk out of the bathroom, and took Katsuo Tanaka, who had been slapped heavily, out of the ember restaurant. The hot dishes on the table between the two were still steaming.

Katsuo Tanaka covered his face with his right hand, followed his father into the elevator and went downstairs aggrievedly. Seeing his father's serious and displeased face, he didn't want to say anything more, but the aggrieved air in his heart made him extremely uncomfortable, so he opened his mouth cautiously. asked.

"Father, is this the way to go?"

Tanaka said in a deep voice, "Shut up."

He knows that he can't conflict with Tang Yu now. The main business and work of the R&D department are carried out in secret. When it comes to field work, he needs to rely on the counterintelligence department, especially about the human experiment data. If the leak is mastered or even exposed by a hostile company, it is inevitable. Will get the impression of incompetence on the board of directors.

Especially with regard to the prosthetic body, once the military technology knows Arasaka's intention to recover and gets clues from the cyber madman James to continue tracking, things will be even more difficult.

The driver, Maxim, had just finished his first cigarette downstairs when he received an order to leave, and parked the car at the entrance of the Ember Nightclub early.

Tanaka father and son returned to the limousine, and Tanaka explained a little:

"He's the deputy head of the company's counterintelligence department"

Katsuo Tanaka was stunned.

He never expected to be slapped in the toilet by someone, and that person happened to be a high-level employee of Arasaka Company. He finally understood why his father let him go out first, and this revenge might be difficult to avenge.

Katsuo Tanaka covered his gloomy face and said nothing, knowing that he could not seek revenge from Tang Yu, who is a senior executive of the company, so he transferred all the humiliation and hatred he had suffered to David, muttering in his heart.

"David, you are completely dead this time!"

"If it wasn't for you, how could I offend the company's senior management, and how could I get slapped?"

"You are really unlucky"

"Heh, letting you drop out back then really made you cheap. Not only should you not have dropped out, but you should have been trampled to death by me like an ant in the college!"

David sat on the toilet and found it much quieter outside.

He vaguely heard the conversation between Tang Yu and Tanaka, which involved human experiments and prosthetic bodies. These Arasaka high-level secrets made him feel more and more repelled and disgusted by Arasaka.

What shocked him the most was that Tang Yu had offended a higher-level director in the company, and was even attacked and assassinated by his colleagues.

But Tang Yu gave him the feeling that he always had the attitude of a person in power, and he didn't look worried at all because he offended the company's senior management. Even being assassinated and attacked was said to be so easy.

This had a huge impact on David's cognition and views on Tang Yu.

"Could it be that the real culprit of the car accident that day was the people from Arasaka Company?"

"It must be an attack and killing operation carried out by Arasaka high-level officials against him!"

"But Mr. Tang was assassinated by the company, but in the end he chose to save us"

"And just now he took the initiative to teach Katsuo Tanaka a lesson, is this also for me?

"What kind of a man is he?"

David couldn't figure it out, but felt that the name Arasaka was becoming darker and darker, like a black hole swallowing and pulling everything around, and his right foot trembled more violently.

After the bathroom was completely quiet, David walked out of the toilet in frustration and returned to the lobby of the Ember restaurant. He first stood in the corner and looked around to make sure that there were no signs of Tanaka and his son before slowly walking towards his dining table.

Before he got close to the dining table, David saw Tang Yuzheng talking and laughing with his mother in a red dress with a relaxed face, as if he didn't care about what happened in the bathroom just now.

David felt more and more that Tang Yu was unpredictable and elusive, and he was very sure that Tang Yu knew about Tanaka Katsuo blocking himself in the toilet, but from Gloria's demeanor, she probably didn't know that Tang Yu just tried to help him out And Tanaka father and son on the bar.

David patted his face, trying to keep his mind from thinking too much, before walking back to his seat.

Gloria felt a little displeased when David finally came back from the bathroom.

She thought that David went to the dining area to eat so many expensive dishes just now, and then hid in the bathroom and didn't know what to do. Tang Yu waited for a long time, and felt that David's behavior today was really rude. was interrupted.

Tang Yu picked up the gift box and stood up and said: "Today's dishes are really not very good. After eating, I feel a little uncomfortable. I will invite you to my house next time when I have a chance. It is much cleaner and more hygienic."

Gloria felt a little apologetic, and didn't care about educating David, so she stood up and said embarrassingly:

"Mr. Tang wasted money again today, next time I will."

I just wanted to say that I will be a guest at home next time, but I held back when I thought of the dilapidated house and poor craftsmanship, so I had to change my words:
"Mr. Tang, I must treat you next time!"

　The third watch will be resumed this Sunday!
　　The third watch will be resumed this Sunday!

　　The third watch will be resumed this Sunday!

　　In addition, thanks to 6aqc9, Yuyumeng, Shuyou 2020, and the last gluttonous bigwigs for this reward, and it will be added after it is put on the shelves!Thanks again!
