Chapter 457: Memorial Service

The taxi stopped in front of the No. 7 mansion in the North Oak District, Lin Mo opened the door, and the evening sun fell on his face, making him squint his eyes slightly.

"Choose Delamain, stay out of the troubles, Mr. Lin Mo, welcome to use Dramein services, I wish you a smooth journey." The AI inside the car politely said a parting word, and then the door closed automatically, and the black-gold taxi drove smoothly towards the road.

Walking into the familiar mansion, strolling through the lawn to the door of his villa, Lin Mo habitually knocked on the door despite the key on his body.

Knock knock.

After a while, the door opened, and Sasha was seen behind her, dressed in home attire, with a white apron hanging from her shoulders.

Looking at Lin Mo who appeared outside the door, a trace of joy flashed in Sasha's eyes, and then he asked gently: "You're back, it will take a little time for dinner to be cooked, do you want to take a bath first?" ”

Every time she goes home, it seems that this astute girl is the first to react.

Lin Mo shook his head, walked into the house alone, took off the jacket on his body, threw it on the hanger casually, changed into slippers and walked into the house.

"What about my sister, hasn't she come back yet?"

"When she came back, she was still thinking about cooking dinner with me in the kitchen... But I politely declined, and now she is sitting in the living room watching TV with Lucy. Sasha whispered.

"That's good, if I let my sister into the kitchen, I'm afraid tonight's dinner will have a unique coke flavor again." Lin Mo nodded, and then asked:

"Where's Rebecca?"

"Clean upstairs."

"Oh." Lin Mo was not surprised by this, and then waved his hand at Sasha and said:

"You go get busy first, I'll go to the living room and have a look."

"Hmm." Sasha nodded and ran to the kitchen in small steps.

Looking at her slender back that couldn't even be covered by loose home clothes, Lin Mo pinched his temples with a little headache, only to feel a little uncomfortable.

Yes, if there is one thing that he has surprised the most since returning to Night City, it is undoubtedly her eldest sister Xu Wanxue, who has invited Lucy, Sasha and Rebecca to her home for some reason.

And it is also a good reputation that it is a little uncomfortable to stay at home alone, just a few more people just share the housework, and it can be more lively at ordinary times.

After all, the only younger brother in the family runs out every day and doesn't know what to do, and from time to time he won't go home for several days, and she is very bored to stay at home alone, so it is better to take this opportunity to call the two who may become the future reserve "family" to the house in advance to chat or something.

In the past, when she was still serving in Qianti, she didn't have this kind of "living alone" trouble, after all, she had to go out to work every day, and Lin Mo was the one who stayed at home every day.

Now, as the CTO of the Night City branch, she has officially become one of the top floors of the city, with very little work to do every day, and there seems to be nothing else to do other than stay at home and enjoy life.

She is not Lin Mo, it is impossible for her to carry a knife out and be a "marginal person", right?

But because of this, from one day onwards, the house did become lively because there were more people, and every day when he woke up from the bed, Lin Mo either saw his old sister basking in the sun outside the balcony, or saw Lucy, Sasha and Rebecca dangling in front of him, which made him have a headache.

But he didn't say anything about it, because from a rational point of view, it was best for him to be in an inactive state.

When I came to the living room, the TV was playing tonight's news program.

A neatly dressed man sat on the stage with a dignified face and recited without a smile:

"Welcome to wNS News Radio, I'm Arif Iqbal."

"Since the death of Saburo Arasaka, the CEO of Arasaka Corporation, Night City is still in a mourning atmosphere."

"In order to mourn the passing of this great man, flags will be lowered at half-mast in all buildings in the city, and all large-scale public events will be postponed until further notice."

"Saburo Arasaka's daughter and heir in line to the throne, Miss Hanako Arasaka, arrived in Night City today to attend the memorial service for Saburo Arasaka."

"After that, the body of Saburo Arasaka will be transported to his native Japan for a burial ceremony."

......

Xu Wanxue, who was sitting on the sofa watching the TV program, sighed, threw the remote control aside, picked up the snack potato chips next to her and began to eat:

"Alas, it's annoying, first Saburo Arasaka died, then Hanako Arasaka and the memorial service, why are there so many happening in Night City."

"This city has always been like this, but Sister Wanxue, you don't usually pay attention to these, after all, these little things generally don't have much to do with us ordinary people." Lucy took the remote control and was about to switch the TV program to another station.

But before she could press the button of the remote control, a hand suddenly appeared at her side and took the remote control from her hand.

Only then did the two notice Lin Mo, who was like a ghost and didn't know when he would come back.

"Eh, when did you come back, did Sasha open the door for you?" Xu Wanxue asked in surprise.

Looking at the old lady who was becoming more and more "Liu Ruoying" and gradually becoming a salted fish, Lin Mo shook his head, snatched the snack potato chips, sat on the sofa on the side and said:

"I don't even know what to say about the two of you, my old sister will forget it, and you, Lucy, didn't you have a good skill before, why don't you even hear the knock on the door now."

Lucy sat on the sofa with her hands on her knees, looking at Lin Mo who was questioning him, she didn't say anything, just stretched out her finger and pointed to her ear, where she happened to be wearing a pair of small headphones.

"She was listening to music with noise-cancelling headphones, and she could only hear the sound next to her." Xu Wanxue couldn't help but defend it.

She looked at Lin Mo, who was "Xingshi asking for guilt", and sneered a few times and said:

"You came back just in time, I just wanted to ask you, what happened to the news program just now, there has been a lot of uproar in the city these days, tell me quickly, does the death of Saburo Arasaka have anything to do with you?"

"Why are you asking this?" Lin Mo didn't care.

"The Shenyang headquarters is already asking about the situation in Night City, as soon as Arasaka Saburo dies, his son Lai Xuan takes the position, which is related to the change of power in Arasaka Company, and even our CEO Xu Wanmeng is also asking me about the situation here through the company's information channel." Xu Wanxue said seriously:

"However, she should want to ask your opinion, I am a messenger at best."

Lin Mo lowered his head and pondered for a long time, and finally seemed to have figured out something, and said sincerely:

"This matter does have something to do with me, she doesn't have to worry about anything... In addition, you also tell Xu Wanmeng that the Ye's company may have a negotiation with Kang Tao in the future, and you can agree to their requests, no matter how excessive the demands are, it will not be too bad for you. ”

"What negotiations?" Xu Wanxue frowned.

Regarding the killing of Saburo Arasaka, she did guess that this incident must have something to do with the restless "Oudoudou" at home.

But now it's a negotiation...

"A negotiation about the future of Night City, you'll find out later." Lin Mo didn't explain much.

"Okay." Xu Wanxue simply didn't delve into it, and instead said:

"Do you want to attend tomorrow night's memorial service?"

"A memorial service?" Lin Mo was stunned, but quickly reacted that what the old sister said was [Arasaka Saburo's memorial service]

"Your company has also received an invitation?" He asked.

"Isn't that weird? Don't say it's us, the military science and technology side also sent a representative over, it's a memorial service for the founder of Arasaka Company, no matter what contradictions there are in peacetime, this time still has to give some face. Xu Wanxue said helplessly:

"If you're interested, I have just a few spots here... If you really don't want to go, it's no problem. ”

Lin Mo's expression was a little strange, and finally he shook his head and said:

"Forget it, I have my own arrangements."

He does have his own arrangements, and with his relationship with Lai Xuan, even if he does not have Xu Wanxue's place, it is not difficult to attend the memorial service.
