Arasaka Tower.

Thirty-three floors of the Counterintelligence Department.

Office of the Deputy Minister.

Tang Yuduan sat at his desk and worked at his desk, dealing with some key affairs of the Counterintelligence Department.

At the same time, people kept coming in and out of the office to report the progress of various works to Tang Yu.

This is a rare time for Tang Yu to sit in the office seriously, mainly because Arthur Jenkins has recently been on a business trip and needs him to handle the relevant affairs of the department on his behalf.

At this time.

Across the desk sat a beautiful blonde with big waves, dressed in a suit and skirt, with a brooch tag emblazoned with a string of characters.

“Zetatech”

I don't know if she received the uniform by mistake when she received the uniform, or if her body curve was too saturated, and she felt a little panicked at the neckline.

She was accompanied by two colleagues from Zeta Technology, but they both sat next to her and remained silent.

Tang Yu wrinkled her nose slightly, feeling that the perfume was too strong, although she said it with a fluttering eyebrow, she couldn't listen to it much.

The other party's ability to observe words and colors was really not proportional to her curve, and she didn't see that Tang Yu was already a little impatient.

"Mr. Tang, the above is the sincerity that Zeta Technology can provide, I hope you will seriously consider that if you can reach this cooperation, equip our neural processor in your special service team, I believe that a win-win effect can be achieved, and Zeta Technology has also specially prepared an exclusive gift for you."

Tang Yu raised his eyebrows after hearing this, Arthur Jenkins was dealing with all these troublesome things in the past, and now that the old boss is on a business trip, this is good, and it is all thrown to him.

What kind of cooperation or not, Tang Yu wished that Arasaka would close the door as soon as possible, and he was not interested in exclusive gifts.

Gifts are naturally inseparable from money, luxury cars, and mansions, which are no longer of much interest.

He waved his hand and said perfunctorily: "Zeta Technology, I know, your sincerity, I will convey it to Mr. Jenkins on my behalf." ”

The blonde beauty was still enthusiastic, and she didn't care about Tang Yu's perfunctory attitude at all, but stood up, leaned her waist and legs against the edge of the desk, took out a card from the inner lining of the neckline, and gently handed it to Tang Yu.

Her eyes lit up, staring at Tang Yu and smiling: "Mr. Tang, I am actually more sincere in getting to know you, even if the cooperation is not successful, we can make friends." ”

The blonde beauty in front of him was the senior executive of the External Relations Department of Zeta Technology, Tang Yu felt helpless, so he could only continue to play and reach out to pick up the card.

Unexpectedly, the blonde beauty pinched the card and didn't let go, and took the opportunity to quietly scratch Tang Yu's palm twice with her index finger before letting go of her hand.

Tang Yu was a little speechless for a moment, thinking that this Lang Mei was quite good at playing, and there were not only her colleagues next to her, but also staff of the Counterintelligence Department waiting to report outside the door.

Sophisticated, he remained silent, took the card and made a gesture of invitation to send off the guest.

The blonde woman left her desk, thanked her, and turned to walk towards the office door.

After the two Zeta Technology colleagues went out first, the blonde beauty looked back again, made a phone call, smiled meaningfully, and then walked out of the door satisfied.

After the office was temporarily cleared, Tang Yu looked at the card in his hand, pinched it and turned it around twice, the shell did not have any imprint symbols, and he couldn't see more information.

"Heh, what's it this time again."

Dragon Fist glasses open scanning.

Konbi Mansion key card with tenant information.

"Natasha"

"That's a good name."

Tang Yu smiled, casually threw the chip into the trash can and smashed it, and then opened the office door to continue working.

"Come in."

As soon as the words fell.

I saw Harry, the head of the Investigation Section of the Counterintelligence Department, walking in, followed by a person, it was David with a green face and a slightly restrained face.

Tang Yu motioned to sit down first.

Harry, the head of the Investigation Section, nodded and sat across from the desk, with David just silently following behind.

For some basic etiquette in the workplace, David still knows a little bit, and when the superior talks, the subordinate should stand aside and wait.

Tang Yu saw that David was quite sensible, so he didn't say much, so he asked.

"What's the matter?"

Harry, the head of the Investigation Section, hurriedly replied: "Mr. Tang, recently the Investigation Section has discovered that some personnel in the company have in-depth contacts with military science and technology, and the suspicion of detailed work is relatively large. ”

After speaking, he handed over the tablet in his hand, and on it was a list of personnel.

Tang Yu picked up the screen and flipped through it casually, there were quite a few people.

Everyone detailed the time, place, and key content of the conversation with military technology, which is indeed very suspicious.

With just these few pieces of evidence, even if they are not directly fired, the harsh counterintelligence investigation will make them unbearable.

Even if it's more serious, whether or not you can get out of the Arasaka Tower alive is another matter.

Tang Yu accepted the list, and then returned the electronic tablet, which was more recognized, and nodded slightly.

"Good job, this list is kept secret for the time being, there are too many departments involved, and when Mr. Jenkins comes back, I will report to him for processing."

Harry, the head of the Investigation Section, nodded repeatedly, indicating that everything was as it should be, and he looked extremely courteous.

Now the entire Counterintelligence Department knows that Tang Yu is already a veritable deputy minister of real power, and as long as Jenkins is not there, he is the top boss.

Even looking at the entire Arasaka Tower, Tang Yu is a rising star in the workplace with great potential for growth.

If you can climb this line, you will definitely have a great chance in the future.

Harry, the head of the Investigation Section, once again added praise: "David Martinez has also worked a lot hard these days, and he has made a lot of efforts to help the Investigation Department, and his performance is excellent in all aspects. ”

While praising David, he secretly observed the deputy minister's reaction.

When David came to report in the ministry, he inadvertently learned from the front desk that this hairy boy was reporting in the name of Tang Yu.

Immediately noticed that there was an article here, so he took the initiative to contact David and applied to Tang Yu to bring a newcomer David.

David wanted to explain, but felt that the timing was not right, so he kept silent.

Tang Yu naturally knew what his subordinates thought, and he didn't break his intentions, as for the praise of David, most of them were to please himself.

He looked up at David, saw that his eyes were red and bloodshot, his face was a lot haggard, and his index finger tapped lightly on the table, and said, "Well, you go back to work first." ”

Harry, the head of the investigation department, looked suspicious, but he still complied with the order and took David out.

He walked towards his workstation while thinking about it.

After praising David just now, the deputy minister didn't seem to have anything special to say, what is the relationship between this kid and him?

He did not dare to ask more, having worked in the counterintelligence department for many years, he had long developed a habit of prudence.

Observing the relationship behind it and asking the truth are completely different things.

The former embodies cleverness, the latter embodies stupidity.

With the experience of Carter Smith, the staff of the counterintelligence department are much more honest, and they no longer dare to blatantly get too close to the Special Operations Department, let alone inquire about the private affairs of Tang Yu, the deputy minister of the living Hades.

David followed, equally preoccupied.

In fact, he also knew that his efforts were not worth mentioning, and he had fully prepared himself before meeting Tang Yu.

But when he really saw that Tang Yu didn't say anything, he still felt inexplicably lost in his heart, and it seemed that he was disappointed again.

He's really working hard these days, working almost day and night, staring at the screen to comb through video recordings, and peeling through a long list of work materials.

Although it was hard, it did give him a lot of knowledge.

David guessed that it might be because Tang Yu had said hello, and he didn't encounter any difficulties at all in working in the Counterintelligence Department, which he couldn't even think of before.

But now that they've come to this point, David pulled himself together and decided to work hard, no matter what, at least he had to be worthy of the internship.

Tang Yu was busy in the office, and finally handled the affairs of the ministry almost completely, and just after stretching, he suddenly received a communication request from Gloria.

Have a new clue?

Tang Yu answered the phone.

Gloria went straight to the point as usual, she knew that this was Tang Yu's style.

"Mr. Tang, there is a new investigation discovery about that matter."

Tang Yu replied in a deep voice.

"When we meet, it's still the old place."

The reason why Tang Yu chose to meet in the old place was mainly to avoid the eyes and ears of the company.

He got up and left his desk, packed his clothes and went out.

When passing by the front desk, Tang Yu specially told that if there is an emergency, the general work matters will be sent to the mailbox.

The front desk said it understood.

Tang Yu was just about to walk to the public elevator, and saw David hurriedly shuttling through the office area, holding a chassis in both hands, just passing by the front desk, looking very cumbersome and laborious.

When Tang Yu left the front desk, he said hello to him.

"Good job."

After saying that, he turned around and walked towards the public elevator hall.

David struggled to hold the chassis, looking at Tang Yu's departing back in a daze, his eyes flashing with a hint of joy.

Tang Yu came to the old place, in front of the Chinese-style hot food hut, and saw that Gloria was already waiting at the stall.

When I got up and walked over, I found that there were already two cans of green stupid monkeys on the table, and the monkey was staring at me brainily.

Tang Yu sat by the stall and said with a smile: "It seems that the boss has sold you stupid monkeys again." ”

Gloria was waiting for someone, and when she saw that it was Tang Yu coming, she hurriedly explained: "No, no, I ordered it myself, and I saw that you seemed to have a good drink last time." ”

Tang Yu smiled helplessly, apart from V, who else would like to drink this thing, what the hell.

Seeing that it were two regular customers, Darryl, a vendor, took the initiative to step forward and said, "You two, what else do you want to order?" ”

Tang Yu was not very hungry, so he ordered a clear soup noodle at random, which was regarded as opening a show for the boss.

Gloria came with a fried sauce noodles, but the meat sauce is made of synthetic meat, and the taste is okay after processing, and the raw materials are very unappetizing.

After eating the meal and checking out, Tang Yu proposed to talk while walking.

The two left the booth and walked side by side on the streets of Santo Domingo, cutting to the chase.

Gloria said with a serious expression.

"When I got in touch with Regina Jones, I found out that she was very disgusted with what military technology was doing."

"So when I proposed to investigate the abuse of prosthetics by military technology, she decisively agreed."

"With her cooperation, the investigation process went much smoother, and she obtained some key information through her identity as a reporter for News 54."

"First of all, we have unearthed the specific content of the transaction between military technology and NCPD, and it is NCPD's decision to purchase a batch of prototype combat implants produced by military science and technology to equip the terrorist mobile team."

"The advanced prosthetic model of the transaction is temporarily confidential, and the amount of money is not small, at least tens of millions of euros for large-scale procurement."

Tang Yu nodded, if the procurement project reaches the 10 million level, there will indeed be more requirements.

In order to smoothly deliver this batch of combat implants, military science and technology may unscrupulously catch strong men for experiments.

Even the commission received by the Vortex Gang is only the tip of the iceberg.

The combat implant of the transaction, I don't know if it includes the previous military-grade Sianweistan.

Gloria continued: "So Regina Jones and I followed the clues and continued our investigation, and found that many retired soldiers were also using military technology to conduct experiments on new prostheses. ”

"Under the slogan of care, military technology provides free advanced prosthetics for disabled retired veterans, and behind it is actually providing experimental combat implants to obtain physical operation data."

"In addition, there are many officers who voluntarily participate in the experiment, some of them are forced by life, some are lured by profits, and some are simply to become stronger."

Tang Yu thought of the cyber madman James, who slaughtered all sides in the company square, slashing and killing dozens of NCPD police officers on the street, and his strength was extraordinary.

With a military background, he served in the New America Army, a former Navy SEAL lieutenant, and has a strong relationship with military technology.

It is highly likely that the cyber madman James is an active collaborator, becoming an experimental subject of military technology at the expense of his own experiments, so as to obtain advanced combat implants.

At least it will allow him to continue to be at the top of his battle after he retires, standing at the top of the mercenary ranks.

At present, the information is available, but there is a lack of key evidence and witnesses, and without these things, it is impossible to convince the senior management of Arasaka's directors, so Tang Yu asked.

"Are there any specific clues other than this information?"

Gloria was well prepared and explained seriously.

"If we want to get specific human and physical evidence, there is a key person we have to find before military technology, her name is Mowell, she belongs to the special forces of the military technology company, and she is a lieutenant."

"It is unknown whether Mowell is equipped with experimental combat implants, including the experimental model of Sianweistein and the cybermaniac James."

Tang Yu's eyes were calm and he nodded slightly.

"Military science and technology has invested a huge amount of money in the research and development of Ann Weistein, this thing involves spinal neural networks, and if you are not careful, you will either die or be disabled, and it is possible to find more people to experiment."

"However, there is a high probability that it is not the same model, the prosthetic implanted by military technology for insiders, the version serial number should be more stable, and the appearance will not be too ugly, and it may not be necessary to treat outsiders."

It's not the first time Gloria has seen the cruelty of the company, but she still shuddes when she thinks of the ruthlessness that military technology has done to everyone inside the company.

"It's cruel what they're doing."

Tang Yu didn't care about her thoughts, he was used to seeing the dark side, and he couldn't make any waves.

"Get used to it, the show has just begun."

Gloria was silent, she also knew that stepping on the path of the middleman would inevitably lead to facing darkness and sorority, and carrying more unspeakable secrets.

But this is her own choice, even if she can't accept it anymore, she has to force her eyelids to open and look at everything bloody.

Gloria's gaze couldn't help but look at Tang Yu beside her again, quietly, not letting the other party notice.

What kind of experience will make Tang Yu so calm and stable along the way.

She doesn't know the story behind this.

But Gloria understands that the burden on Tang Yu's shoulders may have been piled up, but she has not spoken it.

I don't believe that anyone is born to face the darkness, and if there is, it must be habitual.

She whispered, "I'll try to get used to it."

Tang Yu was noncommittal about this, if Gloria couldn't even withstand this pressure, it could only mean that it was not suitable to take this path.

There was a moment of silence.

Gloria cautiously asked, "Mr. Tang, do you need me to continue investigating Lieutenant Mowell next?" ”

Tang Yu thought for a moment and felt that it was not appropriate to let Gloria investigate Mowell alone.

Mowell worked in the military science and technology special forces, and was experienced in reconnaissance and cruel in his methods.

Gloria investigates him alone, and the probability of being found is very high, and being targeted will put him in danger.

"Is there an address where Mowell is?"

Gloria nodded hurriedly, her prosthetic eyes turned, and she passed Mowell's basic information to Tang Yu, and then added.

Mowell lives in Watson's Kabukicho Creek Loop, and she has recently taken sick leave to rest at home because she is not mentally stable.

"If you want to find her, now is the most suitable time, and after returning from sick leave, it will be more troublesome to find her again."

Tang Yu is no stranger to this address: "It seems that we should go and talk to Mowell." ”

"Just us?"

Gloria seemed to realize that this move was too dangerous, and hurriedly asked, "Mr. Tang, Lieutenant Mowell seems to be showing signs of losing control."

She didn't finish her words, knowing that Tang Yu was a person who was good at making decisions alone, and talking too much would only backfire.

But Gloria was worried that Tang Yu, as an ordinary person, rashly went to meet a powerful warrior who might get out of control, and the key was that he still had a lot of new combat implants on his body, which was really dangerous.

"Maybe we can call Jack, or commission Mann"

Tang Yu interrupted her suggestion: "Too many people are not good, with Mowell's current mental state, to gain her trust, you can't behave too much." ”

Tang Yu told Gloria in a didactic tone.

"Being an intermediary cannot always solve things by force alone, but must learn to negotiate with sincerity."

"Remember, a nuclear bomb that explodes is not scary, a nuclear bomb that is held in the hand by the button is."

After listening to this, Gloria nodded thoughtfully, thinking that it was indeed superfluous.

He is thoughtful in everything he does, how could he risk his life.

So she replied seriously: "Mr. Tang, I understand. ”

After all, this is in Night City, and the Arasaka Tower's force range covers the entire city.

Because the two had already walked and talked for a distance, far away from the public transportation station, Tang Yu directly turned on the Dragon Fist glasses and called Delaman's special car.

The two stood on the side of the road, waiting for the vehicle.

Not long after, a black business Delastan car came and stopped in front of the two of them on autopilot, and the rear door opened automatically.

"Delamain Taxi is happy to serve you."

Gloria looked at the door and hesitated.

Tang Yu pulled the car door and motioned for her to sit in first.

The two sat side by side in the back of the Delaman taxi, watching the bald head Delaman on the electronic screen make a service introduction.

"Mr. Tang, welcome to use the Draman car service, choose Delamain, and leave your worries out."

Tang Yu directly interrupted: "Let's go, Lao De." ”

Gloria: "Instant noodles, don't fall asleep, you have to work hard, try to climb up, climb to the top of the Dian Niang combat power list!" You can afford Mr. DustDreams' tipping support, understand? ”

Instant noodles (sleepy face)
