Chapter 49: Surprise
Mann is settling the honorium for Kivi, Pila, and Rebecca.
This routine used to be performed when everyone gathered in the small square in front of the TURGO convenience store to toast and drink after the mission was over.
But today, Mann had a prosthetic implant behind him, and everyone was not injured to a certain extent, so he decided to pay the honorarium first so that the members could see the injuries.
Seeing that Mann was going to follow Tang Yu alone, Rebecca seemed to be very uneasy about Tang Yu, and took the initiative to propose: "Mann, how does that guy look unreliable, it's too dangerous for you to go alone, I didn't suffer any injuries, go with you, so I can keep an eye on him!" ”
Mann smiled confidently and refused: "No need, even if Mr. Tang wants to start, he won't be at this time, because I am still useful to him, rest assured, Rebecca"
After speaking, he also transferred 10,000 euros to Rebecca, and Rebecca contributed a lot in the battle just now.
Until the companions around him have explained it one by one, Mann finally looks at Lucy, who is smoking alone not far away.
"Lucy"
Lucy, who heard Mann's shout, did not look up, but got up and walked outside the factory: "I didn't help much this time, the honorarium will be forgotten."
When passing by the floating car, Lucy deliberately slowed down, and the corner of her eyes gently swept over the carriage, and saw Tang Yu sitting on the luxurious leather seat in the floating car, looking comfortable, as if she was talking to her superiors.
However, this time she did not plan to eavesdrop on the content of the conversation, and the cooperation mission has ended, which means that the account between her and Tang Yu has been 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 the rescue.
In fact, she was ready to fight at that time, and if Tang Yu didn't agree to save Mann and them, she might solve it in her own way.
Not just for the team, but more importantly for the protection of yourself.
Dead lips and cold teeth.
If Mann had died at the hands of military technology, she would have been a direct participant in the operation, and she would not have been able to escape.
Although Tang Yu is a senior executive of Arasaka Company, he is just an ordinary person who has not been transformed, and it is extremely risky to negotiate with military science and technology face-to-face.
Military technology may not buy him, but he did.
Not only did he not use a knife or a shot, he forced away the military technology and saved Mann and the others.
Lucy took one last look at Tang Yu, who was sitting in the carriage on the phone, retracted her gaze and continued to walk outside the factory, muttering lightly after passing the floating car.
"Good news..."
At this time.
Tang Yu, who was sitting in the car on the phone, was reporting the situation to Arthur Jenkins.
Although he mentioned that there were people present with military technology, he deliberately omitted the hands-on part and replaced the military technology with what the Vortex Gang did.
Because of the presence of the Arasaka elite team in person, the fact that military technology appeared on the scene could not 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 military technology does not admit to using it, Arasaka has no conclusive evidence.
At the same time, Catelyn's death is attributed to the failure of the mission, and she was driven crazy by the Vortex Gang and lost control of her mind and was killed on the spot.
After all, she had been blown up into blood foam, and she couldn't find out why she was at all.
In the end, the target prosthetic body was cut off from Dumdum, and the rest of the situation was reported according to the actual situation of the incident.
Jenkins on the other end of the phone was very satisfied, and his tone was not as anxious as before, but a little excited.
"Don, you're doing so well 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 battle!"
"Ebernathy's stinky cousin is probably crying and sad, and he is busy going to the upper echelons to explain and dump the pot."
"I know the virtue of the stinky table very well, when I encounter problems and troubles, I will only pass the buck to others, and I will definitely not sacrifice even a feather"
Tang Yu continued: "Although our department has not suffered anything this time, it also proves one thing, there are indeed people in the department who are secretly colluding with Ebnerasse's side, and Carter Smith should have been cleaned up by the special service she sent."
Jenkins agreed: "What you said is right, just now Carter Smith has been canceled from the company's employee account, and was identified by the Arasaka Special Service as a cyber psychotic out of control, and he was cleaned up and eliminated on the spot."
"If he's still alive, there's still a chance to identify that stinking cousin."
"I have to say, that stinky table's methods are really cruel"
Tang Yu: "That's right, the Special Operations Department did make a big mistake, but without key witnesses, it is difficult to convict the stinky watch of the death pen."
Jenkins's tone was very helpless: "It's good to make her eat a big deflated and take her paws back, and the backer behind her hasn't fallen yet"
"And you know, the Arasaka Board is on the defensive in the face of military technology in Night City."
"Now that there is military technology involved, there is a high probability that the board of directors will not delve 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 answer, he wasn't dead enough to arrange for someone to assassinate Susan Abernathy.
Not to mention the Arasaka private armed bodyguards around Abnadisi, it is difficult to find a chance to start with a bunch of life-saving means alone.
Susan Abernathy deserves to die, but now is not the time for Tang Yu to do it.
Of course, if Jenkins found someone else to do it, he wouldn't stop him.
In case of success, Tang Yu will be happy to sit back and enjoy the success.
"Now that such a big event has happened, I believe that tomorrow's upper level meeting will have a good show, 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'd love to see what Director Abernathy has to say, the only fly in the ointment is that the prosthetic body was taken away by the Vortex Gang."
"If the prosthetic body is in my hands, I'm afraid Tanaka's side will be even more dissatisfied with the stinky watch, and I can imagine what the directors say about her."
"At least I'll give her something that is not enough to succeed and more than to lose, hahaha"
Tang Yu could feel how aggrieved he was when he heard Jenkins' slightly hearty laughter.
During the time he was not in Arasaka Tower, it seems that Jenkins was not less scolded by Susan Ebner.
As far as the old woman's temper is concerned, she must have looked at people through her nostrils.
Seeing his old boss was a rare and happy time, Tang Yu decided to let his old boss Jenkins feel what an unexpected surprise was.
"Mr. Jenkins, the prosthetic body was indeed stolen by the Vortex Gang and is not in our hands, but that doesn't mean that the prosthetic operation data is not in our hands."
Jenkins: "??? ”
