The son-in-law of Mr. Hachishaku

Chapter 211 Good Brother and Good Sister

The dim sun gradually rises from the ground line, heralding the beginning of a new day of disorder in the Badlands.

However, Li Ang was pulled into the tent by Panan under the laughter and onlookers of the tribe members.

Herman, who had been worried all night, saw the two people returning in a hurry, thinking they were here to silence them, and hurriedly knelt down and begged for mercy: "Please don't kill me, I agree to all the conditions, everything!"

A bunch of runny nose and a bunch of tears, looking very pitiful.

Only then did Panan remember that there was such a person and signaled Li Ang to deal with it as soon as possible with his eyes.

Li Ang led the person outside the tent: "Are you ready with everything I want?"

Herman nodded like a pug, and then took out a chip from the brain-computer interface.

"Everything you want is in there."

Li Ang took the chip and warned: "When you return to Arasaka Company, obey me and keep your life safe."

"Now let's go and have a rest in the car over there."

Herman thanked him profusely and obediently got on the Columbus freight car that brought him here.

It's not like he hasn't thought about escaping, he's tried it before in the convertible.

But once this thought occurs, the brain is twisted around like a sponge by two invisible hands, and the limbs lose control.

The built-in medical chip was used for testing, but nothing was found.

The trauma team's biological system detectors also seemed dead, completely unresponsive.

Such a bizarre incident further deepened the fear in Herman's heart, and he did not dare to resist at all.

Seeing how obedient he was, Li Ang turned around and entered the tent with peace of mind.

In fact, she knew with her toes that with Panan's personality it was impossible to go to bed with a man she had just met for a day, so the sleep she mentioned was most likely just a simple sleep.

In the end, it was exactly as he expected.

Panam slept with her back turned to him, fully clothed, with a blanket and a sleeping bag spread on the ground beside the bed.

Li Ang smiled and said to the hot girl who was pretending to sleep: "The boss is urging me. I have to return to Night City early. Let's sleep together next time we have a chance."

Panam maintained his character without saying a word.

Before leaving, Li Ang said again: "If you encounter trouble that cannot be solved, you can come to me."

This time Panan replied angrily: "I know, he was so verbose that he woke me up!"

Li Ang curled his lips and walked out of the tent.

Talk to Mitch and borrow the Columbus freight car to return to Night City with Herman.

At about eight o'clock in the morning, we returned to the railway freight yard where we met Panan.

He sent her a text message telling her where the car was parked, and then changed into his own Gangster GTS.

I received a reply shortly after:

[You are not allowed to sleep anymore! ! ! ——The hottest girl in Night City]
Li Ang did not reply and drove the gangster straight to the Arasaka Building.

When he was about to arrive, he called Arasaka Yorinobu: "Anders Hermann is in my car. Is there anything you want to say to him? I can convey it to you."

Hermann, the co-pilot, was shaking.

On the other end of the phone, the old man's gloomy voice suddenly became excited: "I knew I was seeing the right person! Come to Arasaka Tower as soon as possible. I'll wait for you in the office."

Ten minutes later, Li Ang appeared in President Arasaka's office on time.

"Hahahaha, Li Angsang, you have indeed lived up to my trust!" Arasaka Yorinobu gave him a warm hug when they met.

It looked like he had just woken up and was wearing an extremely exaggerated silver-black nightgown.

The several-meter-long hem trailed behind him, making him look like an emperor who was about to ascend the throne and be crowned.

This is indeed the case. When Li Ang robbed the floating car, Arasaka Yorinobu was not idle either.

He took a series of actions to consolidate his position in Arasaka Corporation, including but not limited to selling a large number of Arasaka's non-performing assets in Japan, increasing additional budget for the security department, developing new production lines to speed up the manufacturing speed of the weapons department, and tightening banking business and reduce debt ratio.

These controversial decisions within Arasaka have successfully increased the company's stock price by 3%.

At this point, Arasaka Yorinobu has completely locked in the position of the next president. He will only be waiting for a formality at the board of directors in a few days before he can officially take office.

Only one problem remains to be solved.

"Li Angsang, I'm very happy that you brought the person back in time."

"Although I know you are working hard, there is an old saying in the far east that those who are able work harder. So I am very sorry, but I have something else I have to ask you for."

Li Ang actually wanted to say that he didn't work hard at all. He was having fun with girls and singing songs before they were arrested.

But the boss gave him too much, so I could only follow his intention and say: "Yes, I have indeed spent a lot of effort to find Mr. Herman, and I haven't slept a wink for several days. "

"However, the company needs me, how could I back down?"

Arasaka Yorinobu looked at the man sitting leisurely on the sofa in the office with his legs crossed, and then at himself with dark circles under his eyes, he couldn't tell which one was more tired.

"Let's not talk about this for now. Come and see."

Then, Yori Xuan turned on the projection screen TV in his office, which broadcast a news item that had been saved in advance.

"After the death of Saburo Arasaka, the former CEO of Arasaka Corporation, Night City is still in an atmosphere of mourning, with flags flying at half-mast on all buildings in the city."

"All large-scale public events have been postponed until further notice."

"The daughter and heir of Saburo Arasaka, Hanako Arasaka, has arrived in Night City today on the Arasaka Corporation aircraft carrier 'Moby Dick'. A memorial service will be held at Arasaka Tower at noon tomorrow. After that, the body of the former CEO will be It will be transported to his hometown of Japan for burial."

Seeing this, Arasaka Yorinobu turned off the TV.

"My sister is here and now she is staying in Arasaka Garden in Westbrook District."

"Huazi and I have had a very good relationship since childhood. She used to be a buffer between me and my father. If she hadn't interceded for me, I wouldn't have been able to return to the company, and I might even have been killed by my father."

"I'm very grateful to her, but there are people who don't feel that way."

When talking about excitement, Yori Xuan unconsciously put on a thick Japanese accent: "The group of people who were loyal to my father before, they want to provoke a war between me and Hanako!"

"I will never allow them to ruin my relationship with Hua Zi!"

Li Ang seemed to know what he wanted to do, but he still asked: "What do you want me to do?"

Arasaka Yorinobu sneered: "Those people are just a bunch of losers. I have plenty of ways to deal with them, but I don't want to see Hanako sad."

"Kidnap her and make her disappear for a while."

"Without Hua Zi's support, they would be just sheep to be slaughtered."

Li Ang raised his eyebrows after hearing this, feeling in his heart that Yori Xuan was worthy of being Saburo Arasaka's son.

One second he was talking grandly about how good his relationship was with his sister, and the next second he wanted to kidnap her.

If father and son were not in conflicting positions, Yorinobu would definitely be Saburo's most suitable successor.

"It's not difficult to kidnap her. What's difficult is not to be found. You should know better than me the power of Arasaka Company in Night City, Mr. Yorinobu."

In fact, both are not difficult for Li Ang. He just wants to know what Lai Xuan can pay for it.

"Don't worry." Arasaka Yorinobu dragged the back of his long nightgown and sat back on the chair belonging to the president: "No one will come looking for her then, and the Tiger Claw Gang will cooperate with you."

"Bring her back after the board meeting is over, and I will send her back to Tokyo."

The Tiger Claw Gang is one of the largest gang organizations in Night City. The NCPD determines the danger level: medium-high level.The members are mainly Asians, numbering around 5500. They secretly have close ties with Arasaka Company. They are almost the thugs trained by Arasaka to deal with some shady and dirty things for him.Considering that Arasaka Yorinobu was a gang boss before, it makes sense to take them under his wing.

Thinking of this, Li Ang didn't speak, as if he was waiting for something.

Arasaka Yorinobu understood what he meant and said bluntly: "After the matter is completed, the position of director of the security department will be yours, and you will also have a place on the board of directors."

He is not afraid of his subordinates' ambitions, but is afraid of their ulterior ambitions.

However, Li Ang was still dissatisfied with such a generous condition: "I'm tired of working in the Security Department and want to change places. How about the Technology R&D Department?"

Arasaka Yorinobu frowned: "The R&D department has very little power. Are you sure you want to go?"

He wants to destroy Arasaka, not develop it, so it really doesn't matter whether he has his own people in the R&D department.

"Then let's do it together." Li Ang said with a smile: "As you said, those who can do more work."

Arasaka Yorinobu's expression suddenly became unhappy, and he pointedly said: "Li Angsang, don't be too greedy. If a snake eats an elephant, it will strangle itself to death."

After hearing these words, Li Ang stood up, slowly walked to him, and placed his hands on the president's desk.

"Someone told me not long ago that only companies can afford to hire people like me, but if even companies can't afford to pay, guess what will happen?"

Under the gaze of those snake eyes without any emotion, Arasaka Yorinobu gradually shed beads of sweat on his forehead, and his hair stood on end.

The Japanese have always believed in ghosts and gods, but at this moment, he felt that he was being targeted by ghosts and gods.

After all, Yori Xuan was a person who had seen the world. He had never felt this way when a hostile force put a gun to his head.

Then he suddenly realized that the strength of the man in front of him might be far beyond normal people's imagination.

After careful consideration, Yori Xuan chose to surrender.

At the same time, he was secretly glad that at least so far, Li Ang was on his side.If his father discovered him first, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"I agreed to the conditions, the security department, the director of the R&D department, and a seat on the board of directors."

"Angjun, please don't betray my trust in you."

The title seems to have become more intimate, but only Yorinobu himself knows what he actually thinks.

Li Ang didn't care what he thought, because in the face of absolute strength, any calculation was useless.

"Normally I'm a very disciplined person, so thank you boss."

"Also, Hanako Arasaka, when will I take action?"

Arasaka Yorinobu adjusted his collar uncomfortably.

He didn't feel this before, but he realized it now. Li Ang's tone when talking to him seemed to be very casual, not at all like the attitude of a subordinate.

"Don't worry, there will be a grand roller coaster parade on Japan Street in Westbrook District tomorrow night."

"Arasaka Corporation will sponsor this event and rename it the Aratama Festival to commemorate my father's heroic spirit."

"When the introduction comes, I will convince Hua Zi to participate."

"In a place like that, anything can happen, you know what I mean."

"But one thing needs to be noted. The bodyguard next to Hanako: Oda Santafu, is a cyber ninja trained by Goro Takemura himself. He will never leave Hanako for half a step."

"His strength is no worse than Adam Hammer, be careful not to capsize in the gutter."

After hearing this, Li Ang wanted to ask Zhucun how he handled it in the end, but then he thought about what it had to do with him.

"Don't worry, there will be no problem."

"Very good." Arasaka Yorinobu nodded with satisfaction: "Now that we have finished talking, let's bring Anders Hermann in."

Because the topic just now was relatively private, Herman had been waiting outside the office.

As a result, Li Ang remained motionless, as if he didn't hear Lai Xuan's words.

The meaning is very clear. Helping you with work is for everyone's needs, but you can't really treat me as your subordinate.

Arasaka Yorinobu couldn't help but sigh when he saw this, so he had to notify the office secretary and ask the secretary to bring the person in.

Before anyone came, the dignified future leader Arasaka said a little aggrievedly:

"Save me some face in front of outsiders."

Li Ang said it was okay and sat back on the sofa.

Arasaka Yorinobu felt much better immediately, and adjusted his posture to adopt the demeanor of a superior.

Soon after, a nervous Herman was brought into the office.

First he saw Arasaka Yorinobu wearing a 'dragon robe', and his heart skipped a beat. Then he saw Li Ang, and he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"Mr. Arasaka, Mr. Li Ang."

Arasaka Yorinobu had a straight face and made a vague nasal sound: "Yeah."

"You should know why I'm looking for you, Anders Hermann."

Herman glanced at Li Ang subconsciously, and saw that he had no special instructions before replying: "Yes, it's for the Relic project and the chip."

"But I swear, I really don't have the chip! When I left Arasaka, the whole project was still in the experimental stage."

Arasaka Yorinobu slammed the table: "Tell me everything you know, especially about my father!"

Herman was frightened and took several steps back: "Okay, okay, I said, don't be impatient."

"This chip is a new experimental version and is completely different from the original version."

"The original chip can only interact biologically with the imprints stored in it, which are personality backups. As the TV commercial says, it can preserve the memories of relatives and friends so that they can always be with you."

"But this one is different. It can be installed and activated in the new body."

Arasaka Yorinobu felt that he had grasped the key point, so he inquired: "What does a new body mean?"

At this time, Li Ang's lazy voice sounded: "Borrowing a corpse to bring back a soul, a dove occupying a magpie's nest, whatever you want to understand."

"Yes." Herman confirmed.

"When we were testing, we usually used bodies without neural responses for implantation. Well, you can also directly understand them as corpses. The entire experimental process was personally supervised by Mr. Saburo Arasaka and was classified as a top-secret project. It is not allowed under any circumstances. Announce it to the public.”

After Herman finished speaking, the context of the whole matter became very clear.

Saburo Arasaka definitely has a backup of his personality, and is trying to use Relic to resurrect from the dead and continue his rule over Arasaka and the world.

Arasaka Yorinobu had some understanding of this before, and now he has fully confirmed it.

"Then do you know where the backup of my father's personality is hidden?"

Herman shook his head hurriedly: "I don't know. I only know that there is an AI storage device on call 24 hours a day at Arasaka Headquarters Hospital in Tokyo, but Master Saburo was in Night City when he died, so... I don't know yet."

"Tokyo." Arasaka Yorinobu frowned and thought carefully.

Before Kanbi Building, he and his father had not seen each other for 35 years, and he knew some things no more than an outsider.

But after a moment, he suddenly blurted out: "Hua Zi!"

Li Ang, who wanted to remain silent, couldn't bear to see him making such blind analysis, so he reminded him:

"It's a shrine."
