The son-in-law of Mr. Hachishaku

Chapter 203 The organization has decided to give you an important task!
Ms. V went to take a shower, and Li Ang sat on the sofa and watched the news.

Due to the death of its leader, Arasaka Company has become the biggest hot topic recently, attracting various media reports.

And Arasaka Company did not disappoint the media and was always able to come up with various new topics.

First, Yorinobu Arasaka held a press conference and decided to double the number of company escorts stationed in Night City.

It's called the Guard, but it's actually a private army supported by companies.

Although Yori Xuan claimed that this move was not to target military technology and the new United States, but just to protect the safety of relatives and friends, anyone with a discerning eye basically knows what he wants to do.

The heat of the press conference here has not dissipated. On the other side, the Arasaka Company headquarters in Tokyo released another news.

Hanako Arasaka will arrive in Night City in the near future.

She is the youngest daughter of Saburo Arasaka and the sister of Yorinobu Arasaka. She also has the right to inherit the company.

At the time of the introduction, Arasaka Company will hold an internal board of directors to elect a new president.

In addition to the Arasaka family, there is also a piece of news that caught Leon's attention. The mayor of Night City, Lucius Lane, was attacked by a cybernetic psychopath at a media conference. However, he was not nearly as safe as Saburo Arasaka Much better luck.

And as a blessing in disguise, public support rose by several percentage points.

The news said that he had a high probability of being re-elected as mayor, but Li Ang knew very well that this veteran politician who had been active in Night City politics for decades was going to die soon.

If I remember correctly, a mysterious force was involved behind Lucius's death.

"Would you like to get involved?"

Li Ang stared at the photo of the mayor on the TV screen and fell into deep thought.

Before she could think about it, Ms. V finished her bath first.

She was barefoot on the floor, with only a bath towel wrapped around her body. Her hair was wet, and her exposed skin was dazzlingly white. Her face was steamed by the heat in the bathroom, and it looked rosy, like a ripe peach. I have the urge to go up and take a bite.

Unfortunately, Li Ang felt deeply disillusioned as soon as he opened his mouth.

"Holy shit, why the hell are you here!"

Li Ang glanced at her and asked, "If I weren't here, where do you think you would be?"

V tightened the towel on her chest and scratched her hair irritably. She knew she had drunk too much, but she had forgotten the process of getting drunk.

"Wait a moment while I change clothes."

She picked out a few clothes from the closet and entered the bathroom again, not forgetting to lock the door this time.

Hearing the click of the door lock, Li Ang couldn't help but smile and continued watching TV.

After a long time, V, who had changed into long pants and long sleeves, walked out of the bathroom again, sat at the seat furthest away from the man, and began to question him.

"You couldn't have drugged my wine, right? Otherwise, how could I get drunk so quickly!"

Li Ang turned off the TV and turned his head calmly: "Yes, psychedelic drugs. Do you feel that your body is hot now and you have the urge to take off your clothes?"

When he said this, V felt a little inexplicably hot. He put his hands on the zipper of his winter jacket involuntarily, and then he realized that he had worn too much.

I took off my coat, then my sweatshirt, leaving only a black vest like last time, and finally cooled down.

Of course the drugging thing was just a joke. With the strength that Li Ang had shown, if he wanted to plot something against himself, there was no need for such despicable methods.

"What would you like to drink?" She stood up and walked to the wine cabinet.

Li Ang leaned on the sofa and said in a strange tone: "For a female alcoholic who only has wine at home, it is unnecessary for you to ask this question."

V responded confidently: "I was just asking you what kind of drink you wanted to drink."

Knowing that there was no milk, Li Ang settled for the next best thing: "Any non-alcoholic beverage, even boiled water will do."

"Sorry sir, there is no such option." V imitated the indifferent tone of the intelligent voice and refused his request, but in the end he still took a can of refrigerated Coke.

Throwing the Coke to Li Ang, she asked tentatively:
"I didn't do anything extraordinary when I was drunk just now, right?"

Li Ang imitated her tone: "Sorry madam, I refuse to answer this question because it will remind me of the worst 5 minutes of my life."

"By the way, spit out two hundred dollars on the car, and remember to pay for the car wash later."

After hearing this, V suddenly slapped his forehead, showing a painful expression of regret.

This time I was completely embarrassed to see anyone.

In fact, this usually didn't happen. She was quite aware of her drinking capacity, but too many things happened yesterday, so she wanted to vent, but she accidentally drank too much.

"Boss, please listen to my explanation"

Li Ang was very tolerant and understood V's difficulties: "No need to explain. I will leave the car to you later. Remember to wash the car."

V heard the implication behind his words: "It's so late, where are you going?"

"You want me to spend the night here again?" Li Ang joked, and then said: "I've been delayed at Judy's for too long, and I have some unfinished business. Let's meet directly in Taiping Prefecture tomorrow."

"Okay." V ​​suddenly remembered someone: "What about Zhucun?"

Li Ang replied: "I just want to deal with the matter in Zhucun. I will take him away later."

"I just have something to ask you. Do you think Saburo Arasaka is good or bad?"

V said without thinking: "Of course he is bad, this old guy is so bad!"

Li Ang smiled and asked: "Does killing his person count as eliminating harm for the people?"

"You mean Arasaka Yorinobu?" V thought for a long time and said his answer: "I only heard Jack mention Yorinobu a few times. I don't know much about who he is. As of now, I can only say that he is Dog eat dog.”

It is definitely one-sided to judge a person based on good or bad, but Li Ang simply wants to know what V thinks of Arasaka Yorinobu so that he can decide what to do next.

"It's getting late. I'll leave first. See you in Taipingzhou tomorrow morning."

“Don’t forget to pick up Evelyn.”

After giving a few words of advice and saying goodbye to V, Li Ang left the apartment.

Thrace obviously couldn't drive, so he simply dragged Takemura out of the drunken car and called the best and most expensive taxi company in Night City.

A few minutes later, the black limousine arrived as scheduled.

“Welcome to Delamain’s private car service. Choose Delamain and leave your worries at home!”

Li Ang opened the trunk and stuffed Zhucun in.

After getting in the car, the talkative Delamain AI asked: "I don't understand why you put your companion in the trunk."

Li Ang looked at the bald man on the screen and said, "He is not a companion, he is a prostitute."

"Also, drive your car well, I don't need to talk about service."

Delamain was silent for a moment: "According to regulations, I should report this situation to the NCPD, but as you wish, distinguished guest."

"We are taking you to your destination - Arasaka Building."

Under the control of artificial intelligence, the special car drove smoothly out of Little Chinatown and headed towards the city center.

Gradually, the world outside the car window became tidier and tidier. There were no strange graffiti on the walls, cheap vendors in the corners, and gang members and homeless people disappeared.

Huge skyscrapers cover the endless winding streets, and the neon halo sets the stage for the ballet of steel and cement. Under the skylights and giant screens, bulky floating cars pass like fish.

This is the heart of Night City, the place where dreams can become reality.

In the center of the center lies a special area that is completely free from outside interference - the Company Square.It is named after a huge circular square.

The original purpose of its construction was to commemorate the victims of the Fourth Corporate War.

Ironically, the major companies that led to the sacrifices of these people are located around the square.

Arasaka Corporation, Military Technology, Kangtao, Qiluji Optical, Knight Group, Pezo Petrochemical, etc., most of the well-known companies in the cyber world have their own headquarters or branches here.

No matter day or night, the square is always crowded with a variety of middle and lower-level company employees, always busy heading to the next meeting location.High-level managers hovered in the air on aerial vehicles and took off and landed on various tarmacs.

The entire area feels like a giant beehive, with tens of thousands of company employees serving as tireless worker bees.

"Remember to issue an invoice and ask Arasaka Company for reimbursement."

Li Ang got out of the car and looked up at the Arasaka Building, or Arasaka Tower, which reached into the sky.

It is not only the tallest building in Night City, but also a symbol of Arasaka Corporation's supreme power in Night City. It is said that the secret of eternal life is hidden beneath the tower.

Li Ang is theoretically immortal, so he doesn't care whether it's a secret or not.

Taking Takemura out of the trunk and sending Draman away, he strode toward the Arasaka Building.

When he arrived at the door, a security guard in a white suit stepped forward to stop him.

"Sir, this is a private area and outsiders are not allowed to enter. Please explain your purpose."

Under normal circumstances, Arasaka's security guards would not be so polite, but who asked Li Ang to carry someone with him just as he got off the expensive Draman car?

"Open your electronic dog eyes to see who I am, and then call someone to take me to Arasaka Yorinobu's office!"

The extremely arrogant tone made the security guard panic, and he quickly scanned Li Ang's personal information with his prosthetic eyes.

[Department: Arasaka Security Department]
[Employee level: no viewing rights]
Just two lines of words made the security guard's face pale with fright. The security department meant the same department as him, and the level of confidentiality meant he was his immediate superior.

"I'm sorry, sir. It was my negligence. I was transferred here not long ago. Please forgive me!"

"I'll notify someone to pick you up right now."

After saying that, he started to make phone calls tremblingly.

Until the Arasaka agent who took Li Ang in appeared, he kept apologizing, for fear of being judged or being fired directly.

"Since this is our first meeting, I forgive you."

Li Ang patted him on the shoulder and followed the agent into the building.

The security guard looked gratefully at the tall figure who was gradually going away. He swore that this was definitely the most talkative boss he had ever seen. He was even a bit un-corporate.

In the elevator leading to Yori Xuan's office, Li Ang was thinking expressionlessly.

The agent next to him suddenly spoke with some awe in his eyes: "I know you sir, the top master who defeated Adam Hammer with one punch. He is a new legend in Night City. The entire security department has almost spread the news."

"The security guard at the door just now is new, otherwise he would not dare to stop you."

"Um, is that Mr. Takemura Goro you have in your hand?"

Li Ang turned to look at him and replied concisely: "Yes."

"He is not Mr. Saburo's." As soon as the agent finished speaking, he realized that there were some things that he couldn't just inquire about, so he immediately closed his mouth.

Li Ang's ears regained peace until the elevator arrived outside the president's office.

Leave Takemura to the agent: "Find a way to fix him, and then find a place to lock him up."

The agent happily accepted the order and sent him out of the elevator: "Sir Yori Xuan is already waiting for you inside. You can just go in. Call me anytime if you need it."

The scanner outside the office scanned their bodies, the green light lit up, and the door opened.

Li Ang stepped in and saw a frowning Arasaka Yorinobu sitting behind Noda's desk.

The door closed again, leaving only the two of them in the spacious office.

"The preferential treatment I gave you is not a reason for you to be unscrupulous. Next time you come so late, go back to Kanbi Building and be your temporary security guard."

Obviously, Hao Daer's plan did not go smoothly, and he gave Li Ang a warning when they met.

But he did come a little late, almost twelve hours had passed since the last time the two met.

"I also have a reason for everything, Mr. Yori Xuan."

"On the way here, I accidentally discovered Takemura-san wandering around. It took me a lot of effort to bring him back."

Arasaka Yorinobu's expression suddenly flashed a bit unnatural: "Takemura Goro? Why did you bring him back?" He is tracking down the murderer of my father, and if you do this, he will disrupt his plan. "

Because if you don't bring him back, you will kill him and silence him.

Li Ang secretly slandered, but calmly explained on the surface: "As the saying goes, once the emperor and his courtiers, at this juncture, Zhucun-san should not be let out of our sight."

Arasaka Yorinobu pretended to be angry: "You don't need to worry about this, I will handle it!"

Li Ang knew that he was acting, so he acted very cooperatively with him, lowering his head as if he was being trained.

After a few seconds of silence, Arasaka Yorinobu suddenly asked meaningfully.

"Li Angsang, can I trust you?"

Before Li Ang could answer, he said something he didn't want to do.

"Takemura Goro is an excellent subordinate. He has been loyal to my father all his life. He is a mess."

"Yes, it was indeed his father who pulled him out of the slums, gave him an education, installed the best prosthetics on him, made him a personal bodyguard, respected by others, and enjoyed unimaginable glory and wealth."

"But why was Takemura born in a slum?"

"Normally, he should be born in an ordinary family, study, work, get married and have children, and live a stable life."

"What Arasaka gave him was what Arasaka took away from him before he was born."

"You are foolish and loyal, but you don't know how to think."

These words of Arasaka Yorinobu are extremely rebellious to any Arasaka Company employee, but they are also the consensus of everyone.

It is precisely because of huge corporations like Arasaka that the world is in such a mess.

Li Ang chose to respond with silence, because not talking now is the best response.

Sure enough, Arasaka Yorinobu was very satisfied with his response, ignored the topic lightly, and gave him a task instead.

"Find a man named Anders Hermann and bring him to me."

"He was once the company's chief bioengineer, a neural network expert with multiple breakthrough patents, and the director of the Relic chip project."

"Remember, this is a secret mission. It's best not to use the company's identity to check."

"There are relevant information and activity funds in the office prepared for you. Check it out as soon as possible. Don't delay it for some irrelevant things."

"Okay, you can leave, I want to rest."

As soon as he finished speaking, the office door reopened, and the former agent walked in. He bowed to the two of them first, and then said: "Mr. Li Ang, please."

　It's still painful. There is an outline in the text, but I just can't write it. I hope it will be better tomorrow.
