"Here are two important news from this station."

"Yeshi Company issued a public statement confirming that the matrix space has been suspended due to obstacles in the trial operation, and the signing of cooperation agreements with relevant companies has been shelved, and the issue of liquidated damages is currently being negotiated."

"Affected by this factor, the stock market opened downward today, the shares of many companies fell, and the share price of Yeshi Company dived, triggering a new round of sell-offs, and shareholders generally expressed pessimism about the company's proposed new infrastructure plan."

"In this regard, the CEO of Yeshi Company said that the cause of the failure of the matrix space operation is under investigation, the new infrastructure project will still be implemented as scheduled, and the development and progress of Night City will be shared by the citizens."

"According to a special guest of this station, a number of companies represented by Arasaka will not withdraw their investment and cancel their cooperation because of this"

After the TV host finished the first news, he continued with the second important news.

"According to the municipal and NCPD confirmations, Mayor Lucius Lane died last night."

"The current deputy mayor Hoult made a public statement on behalf of the municipal government that Mayor Lucius Lane worked overtime late last night and had a heart attack, which was sent to a public health center and died after being rescued."

"At present, the main work of the municipality will be presided over by Deputy Mayor Hoth."

"Deputy Mayor Hoult stressed in a public statement that he will actively participate in this round of mayoral 'competition' and firmly implement Mayor Luciuslane's 'freedom' proposition."

"According to the preliminary survey of citizens' intentions of support, Deputy Mayor Hult has a low approval rating, not only lower than Mayor Lucius Lane, but also lower than Councillor Jefferson Pellares."

These two pieces of news were like bombshells, quickly igniting the heated discussion of the entire Night City.

While preparing breakfast, Tang Yu listened to the sound of the TV and turned his head to look at it from time to time.

He made breakfast and brought it to the table, wiped his hands, and began to fill his stomach for the day.

For the first piece of news, Tang Yu was not surprised.

The suspension of the matrix space was an agreement between him and Mr. Blue-Eyed.

Arasaka has not withdrawn from the cooperation, and it is enough to ask the Yeshi company for some compensation.

But the second piece of news, Mayor Lucius's death, made him guess something.

The murderer behind the scenes is Mr. Blue Eyes, they can't run, and as for the sudden death of overtime in the news, it should be a joke.

The whole city of night is reversed day and night overtime company dogs, pulled out to be able to stand in the entire company square.

It is true that there are many sudden deaths of overtime, but none of them are high-level.

Tang Yu judged that Lucius Lane's death had a lot to do with the suspension of the matrix space.

According to the company's vision, the new infrastructure plan was proposed, the matrix space was operated, and then Jefferson was supported to be elected as the new mayor through the 'competition', and fully cooperated with the new infrastructure plan after brainwashing.

However, because of Tang Yu's intervention, the matrix plan was suspended, the new infrastructure plan was blocked, and the public was dissatisfied with the practice of Ye's company, and even Jefferson, who was in charge of the project, was affected and fell.

On the contrary, Lucius Lane, who insisted on 'independence' from the beginning, has risen even more in terms of support, leaving other competitors far behind.

If this trend continues, Jefferson's mayoral dream may be far away.

The higher Lucius Lane's approval rating soars, the faster he will naturally die.

As for the deputy mayor Hoth, in Tang Yu's opinion, he is completely a wine bag and rice bag, and he does not have any competitiveness at all.

Tang Yu remembers that last time, in order to increase his approval rating, Deputy Mayor Hult simply teamed up with the NCPD to kick Taiping State out of the crime rate statistics, as a proof that Night City's safety factor has significantly improved under his governance.

Tang Yu looked at the breakfast he had prepared in front of him, and thought to himself that it was almost time to call Sasha back.

Gloria is at the helm of the Lizzy Bar these days, and gradually getting started on the right track, and everything is going well.

The matter between Mr. Blue Eyes and the Night Clan's company has been settled for the time being, and Arasaka has already talked to Michiko Komiko last night.

It's just that the two didn't communicate for a long time, and Tang Yu hurried upstairs to report to Arasaka Saburo.

I learned from Michiko Komiko that Arasaka Yorixuan had quietly arrived in Night City, and Arasaka Saburo had not expressed his position for the time being.

Moreover, Arasaka Yoshinobu also stole an experimental RELIC biochip from the Arasaka headquarters laboratory.

Tang Yu knew that the chip contained the soul mark of Johnny's silver hand, but he didn't tell Michiko Komi.

Komi Chiko revealed this information to him in advance, just to let him stand in line in advance, and the members of the Arasaka Tower hawks in Night City were ready to move.

The house leak happened to rain overnight, and Michiko couldn't call the board of directors, and now she wants to suppress the Arasaka Tower, which is even more difficult.

Tang Yu read Michiko's thoughts, she was already a little confused.

No matter how much preparation she made in advance, when Prince Arasaka came to Night City, there was no doubt that the highest throne of Arasaka Tower would be his.

Tang Yu euphemistically hinted to Michiko that she should learn to avoid her edge, and she should not be the front line of contradictions.

But Michiko hesitated, asking her to give up the power and career that she had been running for many years and had finally obtained, which was not easy to say.

Seeing her attitude, Tang Yu couldn't persuade him anymore, so he said goodbye and left, went to the top-floor office, and reported the situation of the matrix space to Saburo Arasaka.

Tang Yu truthfully described the fundamental purpose of the Ye's company's infrastructure plan, as well as their desire to use the matrix space to bypass the black wall and secretly incubate the flowing AI, and even mentioned their covetousness for the gods.

He feels that in the matter of flowing AI, the battle line with Saburo Arasaka is currently the same, so there is no need to hide the main content.

Opposite.

The more serious Tang Yu said about the matter, the more jealous Saburo Arsaka would be, and he would weigh his own use value when the cunning rabbit died and the lackeys cooked.

When the work is done, the tools are useless, and he can carry this truth clearly.

Sure enough.

Arasaka Saburo did not reply to Tang Yu's handling of the situation, which just shows that he acquiesced in Tang Yu's approach.

If he upsets Saburo, it must be impossible for him to enter this office again.

Tang Yu sorted out last night's events a little, and after realizing that there was nothing wrong, he swept away the breakfast on the plate.

The matter of the Ye's Company and the matrix space has come to an end for the time being.

Prince Arasaka ran to Night City at this time, still holding an old friend in his hand, and he had to find a suitable opportunity to meet him.

Tang Yu couldn't help but have a headache when he thought of things one after another.

After the rebirth, many things have changed radically, and some things seem to be still developing according to their original trajectory.

That didn't bode well for him.

He stood up, held a guitar, and sat on the balcony, but he didn't have the heart to play.

Looking out the window at the view of Night City, his thoughts flew again.

"The Fifth Corporate War"

Once the nightmarish global war, the apocalyptic scene is vivid, and the eyes are full of devastation.

Then.

Passionate and romantic, they vow to overthrow the rotten and filthy rule of the company and try to reborn a new order from the ashes.

But no one waited for that outcome.

The power of the company is far more powerful than imagined.

The nightmarish past has become a nightmare in Tang Yu's heart at this time.

These days, he is indeed growing, and he has also changed the fate of many people around him, rewriting the trajectory of their lives, and helping them get a new life.

But the huge gears of this world are still running non-stop, trying to pull everyone into the mechanical gears.

Tang Yu wanted to wrestle with the mechanical gear, as if he had won, but he didn't seem to have won.

He can't see the right answer, just as real life never has an answer.

Just as Tang Yu was thinking about it, he suddenly received a call from Gloria.

The phone was connected, and a familiar voice came from the other end.

"Mr. Tang, is it convenient now?"

"Well, what's wrong?"

Gloria on the other end of the phone was stunned, and suddenly heard Tang Yu's gentle tone, which made her feel a little surprised.

I don't know if it's too sensitive, Gloria had to press the conjecture in her heart and continued to ask: "Mr. Tang, I have something here that needs to be reported to you." ”

"Say it." Tang Yu said softly.

Gloria was tingling, and her tone was gentle, delicate, and a little caring.

She was a little unsure, and she felt a little happy and moved in her doubts, and an inexplicable emotion came to her heart, causing her brain to go blank.

I was stunned for a moment.

Suddenly, I heard the other end of the phone ask with concern.

"How?"

This tone of concern seems to be even stronger, and anyone with a discerning eye can hear it, and it has completely gone beyond greetings in the ordinary sense.

Gloria's cheeks flushed, and she felt a warm current welling up in her heart.

I don't know if it was too much of an accident, or if I was moved and didn't know what to say, just when I was about to say thank you Tang Yu for your concern, I was so nervous that I vomited inexplicably.

Frightened, she hurriedly covered her mouth with her hands, trying to calm her undulating chest.

She opened her eyes wide, held it for a while before relieving herself, and then said, "Mr. Tang, I'm sorry, just now."

"It's fine." Tang Yu once again tolerated her gaffe, and his tone was extremely gentle.

“.”

Gloria had no choice but to cautiously begin to report the matter.

She first told about what happened to V and them.

Participating in last night's matrix space operation, although it was Tang Yu's intention, the honorarium for the entire operation came from her.

The main large gratuity was paid to Team Mann, and they accepted it despite a while.

Since they started working with Gloria, they've earned a lot more than ever.

Then there was Pana's side, because she sent three people to participate in the operation, and also provided the necessary facilities in the Adcarddo camp as a base of operations.

This credit is not small, so I got the second most honorarium.

The second is Mercenary V, who received an honorarium for fighting alone.

Gloria specially exchanged it for paper money, for which V was deeply grateful.

Finally, Lucy, who works for cyber surveillance, declined the gratuity on the grounds that she was on a cyber surveillance field duty and did not participate in the operation for the gratuity.

The amount of money involved in this action is not small, and it is all drawn from the million money that Tang Yu paid to Gloria.

After reporting on the mission, Gloria said she had one more request.

Tang Yu asked her to say directly.

Gloria tentatively asks if Sasha can be allowed to return to him and continue working as an assistant.

Now her personal safety is guaranteed by Mox, and the main forces have recognized her as the proprietress of Lizzy's Bar, so there is no need to trouble Sasha to be by her side all the time.

Regarding Gloria's request, Tang Yu refused without hesitation: "Now you need protection more than before. ”

Gloria: "."
