Cyberpunk: Legends of Life

Chapter 49 Surprise
Mann is paying Qiwei, Pila, and Rebecca to settle the remuneration.

This routine action used to be performed after the task was over, when everyone gathered in the small square in front of the TURGO convenience store to toast and drink.

But today Mann still has prosthetic body implants behind him, and everyone has suffered minor injuries, so he decided to pay the reward first so that the members can see the injuries.

Seeing that Mann was going to work with Tang Yu alone, Rebecca seemed very worried about Tang Yu, and offered to propose: "Mann, that guy is unreliable, it's too dangerous for you to go alone, I didn't get hurt, Come with you so you can keep an eye on him!"

Mann refused with a confident smile: "No need, even if Mr. Tang wanted to do it, it would not be at this time, because I am still useful to him, don't worry, Rebecca."

After speaking, he also transferred [-] Euro gold to Rebecca, who contributed a lot in the battle just now.

Until the companions around him explained everything clearly, Mann finally looked at Lucy who was smoking alone not far away.

"Lucy."

Lucy, who heard Mann's shout, didn't look up, but got up and walked out of the factory building: "I didn't help much this time, so the reward is fine."

When passing the floating car, Lucy slowed down on purpose, and from the corner of her eyes, she glanced at the carriage lightly, and saw Tang Yu sitting on the luxurious leather seat in the floating car, with a comfortable expression, as if she was talking to her superiors.

But this time she didn't intend to eavesdrop on the conversation, and the cooperation mission has ended, which means that the accounts between her and Tang Yu are completely settled.

The only thing that surprised her was that when Mann and the others were in deep danger, Tang Yu did not choose to sit idly by, but personally led the Arasaka elite team to rescue them.

In fact, she was ready to fight at that time. If Tang Yu didn't agree to save Mann and the others, she might use her own way to solve it.

Not just for the team, but more importantly, to protect yourself.

The lips are dead and the teeth are cold.

If Mann and the others really died at the hands of military technology, as a direct participant in this operation, it would be difficult for her to escape.

Although Tang Yu is a high-level executive of the Arasaka Company, he is just an unreformed ordinary person, and face-to-face negotiations with military technology are extremely risky.

Military technology may not buy his account, but he really did.

Not only did he not use a knife or a gun, he forced away the military technology and saved Mann and others.

Lucy finally glanced at Tang Yu who was sitting in the carriage on the phone, withdrew her gaze and continued to walk outside the factory, and muttered lightly after skipping the floating car.

“It is indeed good news”

at this time.

Tang Yu, who was on the phone in the car, was reporting the scene to Arthur Jenkins.

Although he mentioned that someone from the military technology was present, he deliberately omitted their hands-on part, and replaced what the military technology did with the help of the whirlpool.

Because the Arasaka elite team came to the scene in person, the fact that military technology appeared on the scene cannot be concealed.

When Tang Yu arrived with the Arasaka elite team, the on-site signal had been blocked, and the fierce battle was over.

As long as the military technology does not admit that it has done something, Arasaka has no conclusive evidence.

At the same time, Caitlin's death was attributed to the failure of the mission. She was driven crazy by the Maelstrom Gang, lost control of her mind, and was shot dead on the spot.

After all, she has already exploded into blood foam, and there is no way to find out why.

In the end, the target prosthetic body was concealed from Dum Dum, and the rest of the situation was reported according to the actual situation.

Jenkins on the other end of the phone was very satisfied after listening, and his tone was not as anxious as before, but a little excited.

"Don, you did a great job this time!"

"Your attendance bonus will not be less than a penny, I believe it will surprise you!"

"Our counterintelligence department has won a beautiful big victory!"

"That bastard Abernathy is probably crying, busy looking for an explanation from the higher-ups to get rid of the blame!"

"I am very clear about the virtues of stinky bastards. When encountering problems and troubles, I will only pass the blame to others. I will definitely not sacrifice even a feather!"

Tang Yu continued to add: "Although our department did not have any losses this time, it also proved one thing. There are indeed people in the department colluding with Abernathy in private. Carter Smith should have been cleaned up by the secret service she sent."

Jenkins agreed very much: "You are right. Carter Smith has been canceled as a company employee account just now, and was identified by the Arasaka Special Service as cyberpsychotic out of control, and was cleaned up and eliminated on the spot."

"If he's still alive, he still has a chance to identify that stinky bastard's crime!"

"I have to say, that bastard's methods are really cruel!"

Tang Yu: "Yes, the Special Operations Department did make a big mistake, but without key witnesses, it is difficult to convict a stinky cousin to death."

Jenkins' tone was very helpless: "It's good enough to make her slump and retract her claws. The backer behind her hasn't fallen yet."

"And you know, the Arasaka Board of Directors is on the defensive in the face of military technology in Night City."

"Now that military technology is involved, there is a high probability that the board of directors will not go into it."

"It's not that easy to really bring her down, unless"

Tang Yu knew what Jenkins was referring to, but he didn't pick up the conversation. He wasn't dead enough to arrange for someone to assassinate Susan Abernathy.

Not to mention Arasaka's personal armed bodyguards beside Abernathy, it is difficult to find a chance to use just a bunch of life-saving means.

Susan Abernathy is indeed damned, but now is not the time for Tang Yu to do it.

Of course, if Jenkins finds someone else to do this, he won't stop him.

In case of success, Tang Yu is happy to sit back and enjoy the success.

"Now that such a big event has happened, I believe there will be a good show at the upper-level meeting tomorrow, at least at the level of the board of directors."

Jenkins nodded and said: "Yes, it is difficult for the president to suppress this matter, and it will definitely be discussed and dealt with by the board of directors."

"I really want to see how Director Abernathy will argue. The only fly in the ointment is that the prosthetic body was taken away by the Maelstrom Gang."

"If the prosthetic body is in my hands, Tanaka will probably be even more dissatisfied with the stinky cousin. I can imagine how the directors would evaluate her."

"At least I'll say something to her that's not enough to succeed, hahaha!"

When Tang Yu heard Jenkins' slightly smug laughter, he could feel how aggrieved he was being bullied by Abernathy.

During his absence in Arasaka Tower, it seems that Jenkins was frequently scolded by Susan Ebner.

As for the old woman's violent temper, once she gains power, she must judge people by her nostrils.

It was rare to see his old boss happy, Tang Yu decided to let his old boss Jenkins experience what a surprise is.

"Mr. Jenkins, it is true that the prosthetic body was stolen by the Maelstrom Gang and it is not in our hands, but it does not mean that the operating data of the prosthetic body is not in our hands."

Jenkins: "???"
