Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Blooming Iron Lotus
Cambi Mansion.
Penthouse luxury bungalow suite.
Arasaka Yorixuan's face was extremely ugly, he had just received the information from Adam's heavy hammer from the front line of the stronghold on the outskirts of the city, and the whole person was not good.
At the last critical moment, the planned attack failed, and all those involved in the operation were annihilated, their bodies were cut into several pieces, and even their brains were burned.
Lai Xuanyi's eyes turned and dialed the encrypted communication.
The phone is connected.
Arasaka Yorixuan said a little weakly: "I'm sorry, Kenji-kun, Tie Lianhua's brothers."
If he hadn't insisted on carrying out this operation, he would have deliberately arranged his own people for the sake of safety, and did not choose the local gang members of Night City.
The people who died in the operation are inseparable from him.
The other end of the phone seemed to have learned the information, but just sighed: "Their death has nothing to do with you, I didn't expect that the other party still had such a strong man ambushing, find out who did it?" ”
Arasaka Lai Xuan muttered: "It's Tang Yu, he arranged for two informants to hide in the stronghold, and everyone died at the scene. ”
Hyashiro Kenji on the other end of the phone was also surprised by this, as the founder of the Tielianhua Brotherhood, he had been secretly cultivating high-end armed forces under his command.
The team that attacked the Arasaka stronghold came from him.
The whole team is not only very strong, and has successfully completed the assigned tasks many times, but also has a loyal attitude towards Tie Lianhua.
Tie Lianhua has put a lot of effort into this team.
From the initial selection of personnel, people who would rather die and sacrifice their lives will be selected, and they will be brainwashed and reformed for a long time, so that they will agree with Tie Lianhua's purpose.
Then tailor a full-body high-level combat implant for it to strengthen the comprehensive ability tempering of physical fitness.
This team is the backbone of the Tielianhua Brotherhood, and now they have been beheaded by Tang Yu's informants, which makes Arasaka Yorixuan feel very shocked and guilty.
It is really puzzling that the existence of the troops, which has always been enough to resist the troops, was solved by Tang Yu's two informants.
Ye Bai Xianzhi said coldly: "From this point of view, this person must be eliminated, otherwise there will be endless troubles, he can predict our actions, and there is such a strong person under his hands, which is enough to show that his methods are not simple." ”
Arasaka Lai Xuan thought so, but he still had a trace of doubt: "The dead brothers, the stored prosthetics in their minds have been destroyed, and no one can find out their past and origin, which can be confirmed that Tang Yu did it." ”
Then.
Lai added: "Maybe we should talk to him. ”
Compared with destroying the memory chip, Lai Xuan believes that Tang Yu can completely take away the memory storage, and after cracking it, he can get more information, and even give it to the company or Arasaka Saburo in exchange for more benefits.
In this way, Tang Yu not only made meritorious contributions, but also effectively attacked Lai Xuan's forces.
But Tang Yu didn't choose to do this, and erased the troubles for them.
Ye Bai Xianzhi said coldly: "Don't be fooled by his behavior, this kind of person who only wants to reach the pinnacle of power is afraid that he wants to save his life in this struggle more than anyone else." ”
"What he did was nothing more than to leave room on both sides, and this kind of guy who was greedy for power could not stand on the same front as us, let alone be used by us."
Arasaka Yoshinobu was silent.
Because of Tang Yu's action, by attacking the Arasaka stronghold, the plan to intensify the contradiction between Arasaka and military science and technology failed.
And if he wants to take control of the Night City Arasaka Tower, it will be even more difficult.
Ye Bai Xianzhi persuaded: "Lai Xuan, if you want to achieve great things, you must give up first, she refuses to attribute power to you, which is a tough attitude in itself, remember, it is difficult to achieve without ten thousand determinations." ”
"The price we have paid is too much, this is a road that is full of blood, wake up as soon as possible, Lai Xuanjun!"
Hearing the other party's persuasion, Arasaka Laixuan fell into a tangle and struggle.
According to Hahabai Kenji's original plan, after he arrived in Night City, he arranged for the Tielianhua ninja to wait for an opportunity to kill Komi Chiko.
Blame Michiko's death on military technology, and then take control of the Night City Arasaka Tower, and forcibly start a new round of large-scale hot war with military technology.
At that time, Saburo Arasaka, who was far away in Kyoto, would be difficult to ride a tiger.
If he chooses to apologize and negotiate with military technology to calm things down, then his reputation in the world and within Arasaka will be greatly affected, and he will not be far from the real wilderness.
If you choose to escalate the conflict, you just follow the intention of the Tielianhua Brotherhood and take the opportunity to provoke a corporate war and drag everyone into the quagmire of war.
But Lai Xuan didn't want to innocently kill Michiko because of the power struggle.
In the Arasaka family, she has always been far away from the Kyoto family house, and has not been deeply involved in family affairs, and everything Saburo has done has nothing to do with her.
Moreover.
As the only surviving bloodline of his eldest brother, Komichiko can't do it anyway.
Lai Xuan is not a murderer, he wants to inspire a greater force to overthrow Saburo's rule.
While ostensibly submitting to Kyoto Arasaka Saburo, he secretly communicates with the joint network to monitor, and uses forces outside the black wall to sabotage his immortality plan.
At the same time, the RELIC biochip technology was brought to the market in Night City, exposing Saburo Arasaka's ambitions to the world, and involving those dignitaries and dignitaries in this crazy experiment.
When people use RELIC biochips, which are not well technologically perfect, they will inevitably be strongly questioned about Arasaka's intentions due to frequent accidents.
Projects such as Soul Killer, Divine Opinion, and RELIC Biochips will all be subject to unprecedented opposition from society.
Lai Xuan thinks that his father can't survive for long, and only if he destroys his eternal life plan, then he will have enough time to prepare.
"Kenji, wait and see, no matter what, we've come to this point."
Ye Bai Xianzhi's tone was a little helpless, and he said abruptly: "That's it, contact me when you figure it out." ”
The phone hangs up.
Arasaka Yoritomu fell into deep thought.
"Tang Yu, it seems that we really need to talk about it."
He turned to look at the electronic image on the screen, which was a nostalgic concert by the Warriors Band in the company square, and Kerry was singing alone.
Arasaka Tower.
Jungle Meeting Room.
Komichiko couldn't help but scoff at the sight of the board members who were dumb around the conference table.
Just now, she was aggressively accusing her of inaction with intelligence, and after seeing the first-line evidence from Tang Yu at the scene, everyone was silent.
It was not military technology that attacked the Arasaka stronghold, but another unknown force, and if they rashly tore their faces with military technology, they couldn't afford to bear this responsibility.
Although Tang Yu found evidence to prove that the attacker was not military technology, he still did not find out the details of the other party, and this matter was not handled properly.
After Komi Chiko gained the upper hand, she did not continue to make trouble, but just asked the relevant departments to continue to investigate and review.
But she believes that with Tang Yu's investigation, the other party will be more or less honest.
After announcing the dismissal of the meeting, Komichiko turned around and returned to her exclusive office.
She had already learned the specific details of the scene, the body of the attacker was cut off, the brain memory chip was burned, and the people in the Arasaka Technology Department could not find useful clues.
Komichiko was a little skeptical that the attackers had set up a self-destruction program or if someone else had done it.
If it was Tang Yu's hand, then there must be more secrets hidden behind him.
Michiko couldn't figure it out for a while.
Tang Yu has always been doing things in her hands, but it always makes her feel like she can't control it.
He is indeed very capable of handling things, and he can always help him stabilize his plate at critical moments, but it is difficult to say that he has any loyalty.
Xiaomei Chiko couldn't imagine what kind of backstab she would suffer if Tang Yu turned her face one day.
She arranged Sasha by Tang Yu's side, which also had this intention.
After guessing for a while, she called up the contact interface and sent a message to Tang Yu.
"The board of directors has finally done it, the materials you sent are very timely, wait for a while, go to a hot spring, Tiger Claw has opened a new hot spring shop on Sakura Street." ’
It didn't take long to get a reply.
"Roger, contact when available."
Michiko Komi: "."
She closed her gaze and smiled helplessly, as if she was used to this guy's presumptuousness, always slippery like a loach.
Michiko sat back at her desk, turned on the office system, and prepared to continue to deal with some unfinished business.
The attack on the Arasaka stronghold by unknown forces is only a small part of her work, and more important projects involve hundreds of millions of dollars, which she has to make careful judgments and make decisions that will be fed back to Kyoto in a timely manner.
She believed that these efforts she had made would be seen by Saburo-sama from as far away as Arasaka Manor in Kyoto.
If you don't think about merit and hard work, you will leave her an acre and three points of land in the future, so that she will not have nothing.
Just as she was pulling out of the office system, an official internal notice arrived from the Arasaka Tower in Kyoto.
Michiko Kono hurriedly clicked on it to check, and her pupils shrank suddenly.
I saw that in the content of the notice, it was clearly written that the main person in charge of the Night City Arasaka Tower has been changed to Arasaka Yorito, and Arasaka Michiko is the assistant director to assist Arasaka Yoritobu.
Approved by: Saburo Arasaka.
Michiko looked at the announcement in a daze, her eyes full of disbelief.
It was like a thunderbolt falling from a sunny day in her mind, which shook her head and made her head numb, leaving only a blank space.
"Grandpa."
She didn't know what to say, and she didn't understand why Saburo Arasaka would approve such a decision.
Soon.
Michiko Komi was relieved.
Lai Xuan, as the orthodox heir of the Arasaka Company, before taking the helm, should also practice with the Arasaka Tower in the Night City.
may be that Arasaka Saburo has little time, and he hopes to use this way to let Lai Xuan adapt a little earlier and become the real helmsman of Arasaka.
Now.
Komichiko only felt that what Tang Yu said was too right, Arasaka Company was not a fighting ground at all, but a dictatorship of Saburo Arasaka.
No matter how hard she tries, she can't change the fact that she is called Michiko Arasaka, and she can't change that she is an 'outsider' of the Arasaka family.
And Arasaka Yoixuan, as the only surviving son of Saburo, should have everything in the Arasaka Empire by nature, even if he has been disobedient and made mistakes countless times, it still can't change that he is the new king who is about to ascend the throne.
Arasaka Yoritobu.
What a valuable weight in four words.
Komi Chiko thought she would be wronged, but she found that she couldn't shed a single tear at all.
She had already expected such a result, she could fight anyone or anything, but after all, she couldn't fight Lai Xuan.
Komi Chiko only felt disgusted with this family, and even her name was the name of Lai Xuan's mother, who inherited it.
This name, as the most important symbol of the Arasaka family, is second only to Arasaka Saburo.
But the treatment she received was the opposite, and she was hidden in America by her father Arasaka since she was a child, and she didn't dare to have any connection with the Kyoto family at all.
And she looks different from the rest of the family, which is why she hates to go back to Kyoto and tries her best to stay in New Americaka.
She can have today's status, and she has worked countless times more than Arasaka Lai Xuan.
Today.
All it takes is a word from Saburo Arasaka, and she must give it to others.
Michiko took a few deep breaths, stretched out her fingertips and clicked to confirm receipt.
Because she is the co-managing director, when Arasaka Yoritobu does not go to work in person, she can still work as usual to handle affairs.
The only difference was that her heart changed.
Tang Yu sat on the balcony with a guitar in his arms, casually playing the rock tunes of the martial arts band.
I haven't played an electric guitar in a while, and my fingering is a little rusty.
After today's board of directors, I am afraid that it will be a little difficult for Arasaka Yoshinobu to explain.
He had already found a clue that the group of people who attacked the Arasaka stronghold were from the Tielianhua Brotherhood.
And the mastermind behind the scenes is very likely to be the mysterious person in the Crystal Palace Mewtwo, Tang Yu guessed that it was most likely Ye Bai Kenji, the founder of the Tielianhua Brotherhood.
For the Tielianhua Brotherhood, Tang Yu was supportive in his attitude.
He knew that the members of this organization were all children of chaebol families like Arasaka Yorisen, hoping to overthrow the tyrannical rule of the company through the combined forces, but after so many years, little had been achieved.
Perhaps Lai Xuan woke up a little earlier than others, and clearly knew that once he left the company and lost his surname Arasaka, he would not be able to do anything.
Trying to use the power of the company to overthrow the company is like a tree without roots, lacking real power.
If Arasaka Yoritomu really wants to complete his plan, he must first eradicate his beloved Hanako, and then find out the backup that Saburo Arasaka is hiding in a shrine somewhere, and delete all the data about him.
In the end, he came to power in an official capacity, completely controlled the entire Arasaka Tower, and set off a world-class war that destroyed the whole world.
But if it is destroyed, will a better new life be born?
on this.
Tang Yu is conservative.
The world was traumatized by the outbreak of the Fifth Corporate War, which was not as simple as destroying the mega-corporations.
Countless lives will die innocently in violent upheaval, and the world will enter a new dark period.
Let the world re-establish order in blood and fire, and it is foreseeable that the pain and tears of the people at the bottom will not be reduced.
They had tried this grand and romantic plan, but in the end they inevitably lost everything.
Tang Yu could no longer accept such a result.
He can't be like Johnny Silverhand, willing to burn everything for the fire in his heart, even at the expense of everyone around him.
Perhaps, he really needs to have a good talk with Lai Xuan.
Not today.
I wish you all a prosperous Year of the Rabbit.
Accompany your family to watch the Spring Festival Gala.
