The villain knight doesn't want to be a hero

Her face has been photographed by a security robot.

In this regard, Lin Qiao's plan to drive the car into the sea and fake the car's destruction failed.

But this is not an accident.

In the subsequent salvage, biotechnology did not find the bones, and it was taken for granted that the people inside were alive.

"And as a giant in the pharmaceutical industry, who do you think biotechnology has the greatest connection with in Night City?"

Of course it's a hospital.

It is sheer nonsense to say that biotechnology can master all medical staff.

But it is undeniable that they do maintain relatively good and close relationships with more than [-]% of hospitals.

——After all, whether it is daily drug purchase or wanting to get some rebates, dealing with biotechnology is indispensable.

With the cooperative relationship between them and the huge bounty offered by biotechnology, there are definitely a lot of people willing to provide Sasha information.

It can be said that as soon as Mann was sent to the hospital, the pursuers of biotechnology will come after him.

He's just a mercenary with no power, so just sell him.

There won't even be any psychological burden.

This is the same regardless of whether it's Night City or not. After all, the company's tentacles have already spread all over the world.

As for the medical conditions in some small clinics that are beyond the control of biotechnology... Anyway, Man Yin himself felt that it was quite difficult.

"By the way, I'll give you a piece of internal information from the company. Biotech's bounty for Sasha has been initially determined. It's 150 million if he's alive and 100 million if he's dead."

"How many people in Night City do you think can resist such temptation?"

Hearing this, the hearts of the four Man and Yin people skipped a beat.

The original idea of ​​taking Sasha away was completely rejected.

What is the concept of 150 million euros?

Let's put it this way, it only costs about 1000 yuan to find a gang to kill an ordinary person in Night City, and sometimes there will be a discount depending on the situation.

The bounty offered on biotechnology is enough for a person to die more than a thousand times.

Even currently, the safest place in Night City may be Lin Qiao's place.

At least the guy in front of me should not be short of money.

Moreover, the fact that the other party did not hand over Sasha to biotechnology can already explain a lot of problems.

"But in that case, why did you save Sasha? Does Arasaka want to gain anything from this?"

After thinking about it, the only thing that can attract each other is the confidential documents stolen from biotechnology.

"No, it was just a whim that I saved her. It's not impossible for you to act bravely as a righteous act. After all, there is no more caring person than me in the entire Night City."

"..."

"Do we believe what you say?" Rebecca curled her lips directly to one side.

And this is also the sentiment of Mann and his team.

There is no good thing in the company - this is a fact recognized by everyone.

To describe it in one sentence, the company would rather do things that harm others and not benefit itself than do good things that benefit others and itself.

And super companies like Arasaka are doing even more bad things.

If we really hope that they will save people out of their righteous hearts, it would be better to believe that Rebecca can grow taller!

Not to mention that saving Sasha is equivalent to offending biotechnology... Will people in Arasaka really do such good things that harm themselves and benefit others?

Seeing the expressions on the other people's faces that "you have to believe in me" was written on their faces, Lin Qiao helplessly shook her head, and then gave up the idea of ​​arguing.

The big house who lives in Arasaka is really unconvincing to say this.

In fact, because Lin Qiao was driving Fujioka Kaoru's car, biotech inevitably thought that Arasaka was behind the scenes...

But Kaoru Fujioka said, "My child was robbed while driving out."

Although it sounds very deceptive, it is actually deceiving people, but because Lin Qiao asked Lucy to hack the surrounding surveillance cameras at that time, this statement has a lot of credibility.

Furthermore, military technology is more suspected than Arasaka being the one behind the scenes.

——Hundreds of rounds of bullets were fired, but people were stunned to drive from the municipal center to Taiping Prefecture. What do you say about military technology?

and also!

Please explain to me why the file was sent to News Channel 54 below! ?

And the next day you used this dirty information to blackmail me. How the hell do you expect me to believe it?

From such a comparison, it seems that Arasaka has been framed... and the method of framing the blame is not very clever!

"By the way, who hired you to do things in biotechnology?" Lin Qiao looked at Man Yin.

"Does it matter?"

"No, it's just pure curiosity. If you don't want to say it, forget it."

"It's Faraday."

"Who is that?"

"The most famous middleman in Watson District, but he is relatively close to military technology, so the person entrusted with this release should be military technology."

"...It's really them."

Okay, it seems that Biotech really found the right person this time.

But this straightforward and unpretentious villain's face...should it be said that he has inherited Ami's orthodoxy?

In fact, even if this matter was not directed by military technology, when they use the data sent to rip off biotechnology, it can only be done by them.

As an old rival of military technology, Arasaka has also received a joint invitation from biotechnology.

The only one who can surpass military technology in Night City is Arasaka.

And Arasaka's attitude...naturally agreed.

Just like Lin Qiao traveled through the Soviet Union before.

To the rest of the world, only a cracked Aramco is a good Aramco - no one wants to see military technology and the new America they support reunifying the entire country.

But these are all off-topic, and have nothing to do with mercenaries like Man Yin.

And even if they want to cheat military technology, Sasha, the person involved, can't escape.

"Is there no other way to help Sasha?"

Pyrrha, who had been silent since entering, finally couldn't help but ask.

However, Lin Qiao's answer was straightforward:

"Unless she can get corporate immunity, she will spend the rest of her life waiting for biotechnology to hunt her down."

Chapter 317 The Only Way

"Corporate immunity?"

The slightly unfamiliar vocabulary made the four of them unable to react for a moment.

"It's similar to diplomatic immunity, but between companies."

And this is also one of the manifestations of the company's strength surpassing that of the country.

At least the immunity of a large company like Arasaka is much more reliable than that of the national government.

Main, Dolio, Rebekah, and Pyrrha nodded in understanding.

Even if you don’t quite understand the specific content, one thing is clear——

With this, Sasha would not only be able to save his life, but he would also not have to worry about being hunted down by biotechnology in the future.

At least not on the surface.

"I would like to ask, can you get this immunity? It's no problem if you have to spend money."

The four of them turned their attention to Lin Qiao again.

Although this guy keeps saying that he has nothing to do with the company, he lives in North Oak, so he must be a high-ranking member of Arasaka.

At least compared to them, Lin Qiao was the only one who could get this authority for Sasha.

But before Dolio could finish speaking, Lin Qiao raised a hand and stopped her from continuing.

"Don't think about it, this thing has nothing to do with money - of course, if you can take out billions at a time, then just pretend I didn't say anything."

"..."

Main and Dolio looked regretful but expected.

This result did not surprise them.

But in this case, the best result for Sasha is to escape from Night City after canceling all identity information and embark on the road of escape.

"Besides, rather than worrying about Sasha, I personally think it's better for you to worry about yourself."

After all, Biotechnology couldn't find Sasha as the person involved, so the next step was to find her teammates.

"Let's get straight to the point. What exactly do you want us to do?"

After a while of silence, Man Yin took off his sunglasses and looked at Lin Qiao without giving in.

"Hey, is my purpose so obvious?" The corners of his mouth raised slightly.

Should I be called a seasoned mercenary?Very good.

"Then let's talk about it openly. I hope you can completely confirm that you are entrusted with military technology to steal biotechnology, and you can do it on the surface."

"Isn't that the same as killing us?"

Rebecca snorted.

Having offended biotechnology and military technology at the same time in Night City, the coming days will be a bit exciting!

"No, on the contrary, this is your only chance to save your lives."

"Otherwise, do you think that if you don't do anything, military technology will take advantage of you and protect you?"

“…”

That's really impossible.

Rebecca grinned her teeth, crossed her arms and turned her head.

"So what you're saying is... let's strap on tanks with military technology? And then use them as shields?"

"Almost, but I prefer to call it driving the tiger to swallow the wolf."

If it were a country, no matter what they did, Man Yin would end up on the biotechnology kill list.

But biotech is a company.

A company whose size exceeds that of a country...but after all, it is still a company.

Since it is a company, it naturally puts profit first in everything, especially the combat effectiveness of biotechnology itself is not outstanding - at least not compared to companies like Military Technology and Arasaka, which focus on arms and security.

Not to mention that Night City is not yet their home stadium.

This also means that the cost of revenge is relatively high.

Therefore, once the cost exceeds a certain level, biotechnology will have to reconsider.

After all, the bulk of the matter this time is still in military technology, so it's really not worthwhile to waste energy on some minor characters.

Seeing that Man Yin and the others were interested, Lin Qiao continued to add:

"Anyway, wasn't the commission given to you by that person named Faraday? Just try to drag him down, just say that you are a group, and then throw him in front to take the thunder."

"In this way, the first person biotechnology looks for is the middleman, not you."

After all, mercenaries are, to put it bluntly, horse boys and tool men.

To go even further, in the voodoo gang's parlance, it is a "footcloth" that can be thrown away after use.

In comparison, middlemen have a lot of value.
