Cyberpunk: Legends of Life

Chapter 33 Confrontation
Early in the morning.

Tang Yu has come to the office of his old boss Arthur Jenkins, followed by his subordinate Carter Smith.

Jenkins' high-end suit is still meticulous, which reflects the authority and momentum of the company's top executives. He is sitting on a large leather chair to talk and handle official business.

Tang Yu sat opposite the electronic office desk, while Carter stood aside and waited for instructions from his superiors.

Jenkins smiled, answering the request on the phone.

"Okay, okay, I know about this matter, and I will help you deal with it."

"No problem, I will make an appointment to play golf on the weekend."

After hanging up the phone, Jenkins quickly restrained his smile.

"I can get hundreds of them a day for things like this that ask me to clean up the mess!"

Tang Yu was not interested in the private affairs of his superiors and did not want to ask more questions, so he kept the silence he should have.

Jenkins vented a few words, but still focused on his eyes, and asked about the rebels with concern.

"The prosthetic body you said last night has the latest progress, what's the plan for tonight?"

Tang Yu told Jenkins truthfully.

"I asked Carter to keep chasing this matter. He understands it better than me. It's better to let Carter explain it to you."

Jenkins looked up at Carter, then leaned back in his chair and nodded slightly.

"You said."

As the deputy head of the department, Carter belongs to the G4 level and rarely has the opportunity to report to Jenkins at the M10 level.

Carter is now in a luxurious, dark and huge office, and his guilt seems to be infinitely magnified and is about to swallow him up.

He could hardly look directly at Jenkins, let alone think about the consequences of deceiving the minister. This came from the real sense of oppression that Arasaka's top management had on the bottom staff!
Carter swallowed, stammered and vaguely explained his discovery, and kept his head down during the whole process, not daring to look directly at him.

While Jenkins was listening to the report, he didn't say a word, but his brows became tighter and tighter. He rested his chin with one hand and tapped his index finger slowly.

Carter finally said the last sentence in the extreme tension.

"I, I finished the report, the general situation should be like this"

Jenkins waved impatiently that he could leave the office.

But Carter, who kept his head down, didn't see Jenkins' gesture at all, and still stood there wondering if there were any flaws in the report just now.

Tang Yu reminded: "Carter Smith, you go back to work first."

Carter, as if being pardoned, turned around and left the oppressive office.

Jenkins' tone was filled with anger: "I can't even speak clearly. Now I really don't know how many people in the counterintelligence department can use it!"

"That bastard Abernathy proposed at the board meeting to install a new deputy minister for us, but I rejected it on the spot."

Tang Yu was also a little surprised. He didn't expect Abernathy to start attacking so quickly. If Jenkins later found out that Carter was also secretly colluding with the stinky cousin, he would probably explode.

In addition to Carter, there are many people in the counterintelligence department who are involved with the special operations department, mainly because the two departments have cooperated on many missions, and the staff of the two sides have relatively frequent exchanges.

The paradox is that Susan Abernathy climbed to the position of director like a rocket in Arasaka Company, and her husband is also a senior executive of Zeta Technology.

Zeta Technology's R&D of Sianweistan is a strong point, which is precisely the shortcoming of Arasaka's R&D. The two companies have cooperated a lot in technology R&D.

No matter from which angle you look at it, Jenkins' background is no better than Susan Abernathy's, and she has stepped on her feet.

Jenkins can only rely on his own ability to struggle, and when he is no longer of any use value to Arasaka, he will be directly declared out, which means death.

Tang Yu understood that this matter was of great importance, so he couldn't help but get serious, and continued.

"Then she will definitely not give up the offensive point of deputy minister. The counterintelligence department does have a vacant deputy minister position."

Jenkins agreed with Tang Yu's statement: "But I have no one on hand to make up for it, so this prosthetic body mission must not fail, otherwise that stinky cousin will definitely bring it up on the board of directors again."

Tang Yu thought that no matter whether the prosthetic body was successful or not, I am afraid that Abernathy would not let go. After all, the mad dog finally caught a bite, so there is no reason not to tear off a bite of flesh.

But this incident has not happened yet, Tang Yu cut to the point first: "I already have definite information about the prosthetic body, but the most critical point is not this matter, but our department."

Jenkins stared at Tang Yu closely, and asked in a deep voice: "You mean there are ghosts in the department?"

Tang Yu nodded.

Jenkins sneered and said, "Okay, okay, it's that Carter just now, you brought him here to report just to show Abernathy."

Tang Yu nodded again and added.

"That's right, my informant already has accurate information on the specific transaction situation, and there will be no small movements tonight."

"The Special Operations Department will definitely take action, but I can't fully explain this to you yet."

When Jenkins heard Tang Yu's assurance, his expression finally eased, and he nodded slightly to express his understanding.

He had known for a long time that in the elevator room that morning, Tang Yu and Abernathy had torn their faces, and the tit-for-tat between the two had spread to all departments of Arasaka Tower.

He understood that Tang Yu was promoted by himself, and Tang Yu's attitude represented his attitude, so the disagreement between the two departments has been placed on the company's table.

It was also for this reason that the board of directors rejected Susan Abernathy's proposal, considering that arranging people from the special operations department to the counterintelligence department would lead to internal strife and be used by other hostile companies, posing a great security risk.

And the board didn't want the fight to be entirely on Susan Abernathy's side.

Checks and balances are the best option.

Jenkins said in a gentle tone: "You humiliated Abernathy in the elevator, that bastard will definitely not swallow it!"

"The current situation is still very dangerous, and the possibility of being assassinated again is very high."

"For tonight's operation, you drive my private floating vehicle."

"I have never driven this floating car to the company, and no one will know it."

Tang Yu also understands that there are indeed risks in today's operation. Even if he thinks everything is under control, having an extra floating vehicle will obviously greatly enhance the safety, and it will also prevent himself and Jack from being in danger and having no way out.

Tang Yu took over the control chip of the floating vehicle from Jenkins. The floating vehicle has an intelligent driving system and can be called directly on the spot when needed, he continued to add.

"In order to avoid Abernathy's suspicion, this operation suggests that Carter take a departmental special service team."

"I will arrange trustworthy informants and helpers who have nothing to do with the company to block their last retreat."

Jenkins resolutely agreed to Tang Yu's plan and arrangement, and was always at ease about his abilities and means.

"Everything is going according to your plan. If there are special circumstances, call in time. I will prepare another Arasaka elite team to back you up to prevent being plotted against."

The Arasaka Elite Squad can definitely be regarded as Arasaka's top combat power, with top-notch weapons and quality.

Jenkins mobilized the team using personal connections, at least at the M-level top executive level.

With this guarantee, Tang Yu can be regarded as making up for the last shortcoming of the whole game.

Next, just wait for the show to begin!
　Special thanks to Mr. Anguo, Mr. Tudi for his huge reward, thank you!
