Cyberpunk: Legends of Life

Chapter 11 Gloria's Concerns

"You have a new message."

In the twilight of the morning, Tang Yu heard the voice prompt of the smart housekeeper.

So he yawned and rubbed his eyes, put on the portable communicator, then got off the bed and walked into the bathroom.

【Trauma Team Medical Center: Hello, Dear Platinum Member.】

Standing in front of the smart screen mirror, Tang Yu checked the news while brushing his teeth, and found that it was an electronic bill sent by the trauma team, which was the payment status of Gloria and David, mother and son, for hospitalization in the trauma team medical center.

It seemed that they were discharged from the hospital, and the cumulative cost of treatment and hospitalization reached 1 euros, which was not a small sum for them.

Then, I also saw the message Gloria left for him, conveyed through the message of the trauma team medical center, the personal information of the platinum member will not be disclosed to other personnel without the customer's consent, at least on the surface, he still abides by the rules.

Gloria passed out immediately after the car accident.

It was Tang Yu who carried her to the medical floating vehicle, and she never showed up after that, so Gloria didn't know who saved her, but only knew that the people who saved their mother and child were from Arasaka Company, so she just thanked the news Can be conveyed through the trauma team.

"Hello sir, I'm Gloria."

"I am really grateful for your rescue. My son David and I have now recovered and been discharged from the hospital. I have prepared the hospital treatment and thank you expenses."

"Please add my personal phone number to make an appointment with you to thank and repay."

【Gloria Martinez ID】

Tang Yu guessed: "Now there is money to pay back, it should be the money for selling the prosthetic body, I don't know if the goods have been handed over."

But Tang Yu doesn't care whether the goods are sold or not, no matter who they sell to, they can fall into his own hands in the end.

As for Gloria and David, they also don’t need to pay out of their own pockets for their treatment. They will be reimbursed by Arasaka Company at that time, and they can go to the financial account with electronic bills and evidence.

He obtained Gloria's personal financial transactions from Arasaka's internal financial network through the authority of the Arasaka Counterintelligence Department.

This is the result of the joint efforts of Arasaka Company's Finance Department and Internet Supervision Department. It can almost monitor the specific information of most of the electronic account transactions of individuals or small and medium-sized enterprises on the Night City. Only M-level and above management have specific access rights.

People in Night City have long been accustomed to the company's privacy violations. After all, even a prosthetic finger they use is made by the company. If they want to get rid of the company's monitoring, even a dead person can't do it.

Gloria's account showed that the money deal had been made the night before, three hours after Cyber ​​Maniac had been killed by RTS.

"It seems that I sold [-] euros. I have to pay back my own treatment expenses and also compensate Arasaka Academy. There is still a big gap in this amount."

So it was confirmed to add Gloria, and the news was conveyed immediately.

Santo Domingo super skyscraper H4 apartment.

Gloria has just put on her red ponytail and is about to pick up the leftovers at home.

David was still in a semi-comatose state, often talking to himself in his dreams, and kept muttering about his mother.

This made Gloria's plan to go out to complete the late transaction and continue to look for a new job. The buyer of the prosthetic body failed to answer many calls when she was in a coma in a car accident.

She is also in a weak state now. In order not to increase more medical expenses, she can only reluctantly carry David out of the hospital and take her home to take care of herself. Now she feels very tired and embarrassing.

At this time, Gloria suddenly received a new message alert.

[Tang Yu adds communication request]

She hastily tidied up the broken hair around her ears, pulled it back to the roots of her ears, and then rubbed her pale cheeks.

After confirmation, Tang Yu's contact information was added to her interface.

Gloria knew that Tang Yu was from the Arasaka company, equipped with a company limousine, and a platinum member of the trauma team, and realized that his identity was definitely not simple.

I don't know if it's because of the kindness of others, or because of the envy of Arasaka's staff status, Gloria, who is about to dial Tang Yu's phone, only feels a little emotional ups and downs, and her cheeks are a little more bloody.

If there is no Tang Yu, the place where she and David lie may not be at home, but a municipal public morgue.

Having worked in a public medical center, she is well aware of the fate of ordinary people who die on the streets.

After taking a few deep breaths, Gloria dialed Tang Yu's communication.

"Hello, I'm Tang Yu."

When Gloria heard the other party's voice, she was shocked to find that she was unexpectedly young. Perhaps it was the previous image of Tang Yu as a middle-level and high-level employee in Arasaka, a mature man with a big back and a hair between forty and fifty years old sitting in a business car male.

After being stunned for a few seconds, Gloria, who realized that she had lost her composure, quickly replied.

"Hi Mr. Tang, I'm Gloria."

"You saved us on the highway that day, thank you very much!"

"I'll pay back the treatment fee right away. It depends on your convenience. David and I will pay a visit in person to express our gratitude!"

Tang Yu didn't respond to the thank you, but asked: "Why did you leave the hospital so soon, did David wake up?"

Gloria quickly explained: "David is still a little weak and is resting. According to the doctor's advice, he will recover tomorrow."

Tang Yu: "I'll find you later."

Gloria heard that Tang Yu was going to come to them directly, and quickly replied: "This, this is really too sorry, you can set a time, and I will take David to visit you!"

Tang Yu: "I have something to talk to you alone. Before that, you just stay at home and take care of David, and put everything else aside, understand?"

Gloria was dumbfounded, the other party had something to talk to her alone, but she had no interaction with him before the car accident, it didn't sound like it was for money.

Almost subconsciously, she groped for the prosthetic body Sean Westin stuck to the back of the coat. Did the other party find out that she had stolen the secret?
Gloria's heart that had just escaped from death was once again raised in her throat.

In order to avoid being traced, she has submitted her resignation to the Emergency Department of the Night City Public Medical Center, citing the car accident as the reason.

Did you see it on the news?
Gloria suddenly remembered that morning, David was very excited to point out on the TV news that he was on the news camera, and he was still in front of the cart carrying the cyber madman's body.

This is a deadly hidden danger!

Gloria seemed a little uneasy, but she didn't dare to ask Tang Yu's real intention rashly. She looked at David, who was still lying weak on the bed, thinking about something.

Where can he escape if he is targeted by the company? In case Tang Yu really wants to snatch the prosthetic body, he collects the buyer's money but can't get it out, and offending the group of cyberpunks will also end badly.

It seems that there has been no reply for too long, and Gloria heard Tang Yu continue.

"Don't be nervous, I know it's with you."

Gloria's heart skipped a beat. It was her best kept secret, which even David hadn't told.

Tang Yu continued: "But what I want is not a prosthetic body, but a deal with you. The dogs who really want that thing are sniffing everywhere outside. Just stay at home as I said."

Gloria's hanging heart did not let go, so she could only respond first: "I see, Mr. Tang."

After hanging up the phone, Gloria took out the prosthetic body behind her and put it on the table. At this moment, there is no need to keep hiding it. Either give it to Tang Yu or the buyer, no matter who it is, she They all feel that it is difficult for them to have a good result.

She just hopes that David will not be implicated in this matter.
