Valeric, V's real name, but almost no one calls her that.

And her surname is even more interesting:

Winters.

has the same surname as the Ethan family in "Biochemical 8".

The protagonists of the two worlds are subtly connected at a very strange point.

"What are you laughing at, is my name funny?"

V asked angrily, twisting the ears of the man in his arms.

Leon explained: "No, no, I just remembered interesting things. ”

"Guess you don't dare." V let go of his ears and pinched his face again, feeling like he couldn't put it down.

"Why are you so good-looking, if it weren't for this face, I wouldn't have fallen for you."

Li Ang said triumphantly: "A superficial woman, when you see a lust, you can say that you are lustful, and you don't have to find so many reasons for yourself." ”

V Zhenzhen said: "No way, how noble can I be as a mercenary from a wanderer, besides, it is really difficult to dislike a handsome and golden man." ”

Leon smiled and asked, "Does that Ling like me?" ”

"I like your face and your money, as for you," V teased his chin with his fingers, "I have to think about it again." ”

When the two were eyebrow-on, a ghost dog was stopped outside the box by Li De.

"What's the matter?" V asked for the man in his arms.

Who knew that the Nether Dog was looking for her.

"Ms. V, there's a guy named Hanz in those guests who says he wants to see you."

Mr. Hanz, the intermediary in Taiping Prefecture, has always been secretive, and usually only contacts the two parties by phone and the client, and not many people have seen him in person.

It was also through this party that V saw his true face for the first time.

"I guess he saw me here just now. Want to come to me for intercession? Want to meet? She asked Leon for his opinion.

"It's up to you to decide on such a small thing." Leon replied.

Considering that he and Hanz are still somewhat friendly, V decides to meet him.

"Walk with me?"

"Yes." Leon got up from her lap.

The two then left the Jewel Green Club and went to the previous meeting room.

A few minutes later, Night City's most mysterious middleman, Mr. Henz, is brought in.

This man looked to be about forty or fifty years old, wearing a red suit, his black and white hair was meticulously combed, and even his beard was neat.

"Hi V, my favorite mercenary!"

"Why don't you talk to me when you come to Dogtown, let me entertain you."

Hanz's state is calm and unhurried, without the slightest consciousness of a prisoner, but gives people a sense of déjà vu that he is the master of this place.

V also responded enthusiastically: "You're so kind, Mr. Henz, I haven't thanked you for the last time the Voodoo Gang happened." ”

The last time she came to Taiping, she asked Hanz for information about the Voodoo Gang.

"Sit down and talk, do you want something to drink?"

Hanzi was kind and sat opposite V: "What's the need to thank you, you can afford me to ask me for help." ”

"By the way, who is this.?"

V glanced at Li Ang beside him: "My boss." ”

Seeing that she didn't want to say more, Hanz didn't continue to ask, but through this sentence, he understood who was the one who called the shots.

"Hello, sir, it's a pleasure to meet you!"

The intermediary stood up and very politely wanted to shake Leon's hand.

Leon smiled and replied, "I'm glad to meet you, too, Mr. Wade Brick." ”

Hearing the name, Hanz was stunned for a moment, but immediately returned to normal.

"Sure enough, I couldn't hide it from the two."

V looked confused, what the hell, what are you talking about?

Her reaction made Hanz take Leon more seriously, explaining, "This is my real name, V." ”

"I used to be a member of Peizhuo Petrochemical, and I worked hard to climb to a high position, but as a result, the company was reorganized, and I became a victim. Although I escaped being pursued, the large bounty on my head forced me to change my appearance and become the current Mr. Henz. ”

Hanz spoke very openly about his past, because he knew that since he had been found out about his past identity, it would not do him any good to hide it any longer.

V suddenly realized: "It's really surprising. ”

Peizhuo Petrochemical knows that a global super company, although it is not comparable to Arasaka, Military Technology, and Kangtao in terms of market capitalization, is also one of the most influential companies in the world.

This company has a very exaggerated advertising slogan:

[Our planet continues to progress because of Petro Petrochemical]

Through a partnership with another company, Biotech, on a bioengineering project, Peizhuo Petrochemical was able to convert genetically modified wheat grown on hundreds of millions of acres of fertile land around the world into the biofuel CHOOH2 (alcohol di).

As the world's standard fuel after the oil crisis, the importance of CHOOH2 goes without saying.

The Petro Petrochemical, which has mastered its production rights, is equivalent to grasping the energy lifeline of the cyber world, that is, if you want to live in this world, you will inevitably be affected by the Petro Petrochemical.

Being able to be in the position of an executive in such an influential company also proves that Hanz's strength should not be underestimated.

Anyway, V is already a little more wary of this seemingly kind old man.

She knew that she was not good at playing with her brains and was prone to saying the wrong thing, so she simply left the matter to Leon to deal with.

Leon didn't hesitate, and said bluntly, "Mr. Hinz, tell me the purpose of your visit." ”

"Sir, quick talk!" Hanz smiled, "I just want to ask, what do you two and Han Sen want?" I don't know why, I really don't know the bottom of my heart. ”

Leon also smiled and said, "I thought you wanted V to let you go." ”

"I don't dare to ask for such an excesses," said Henz. It's good to stay here, with Colonel Han Sen in front, I don't have to worry about anything else. But if you are let out, it is easy to lose your life inexplicably. ”

"Since the colonel didn't kill us directly, it proves that there is a need for us, and I can do my best to cooperate."

As a pure businessman, there is only one thing that Heinz really cares about, and that is money.

He wanted to make enough money to get out of Night City, a hopelessly rotten place, so he knew when to bow his head, because if his life was gone, there would be nothing left.

As for offending the company and being retaliated against, that is a problem that Han Sen should consider.

Who's going to make him the king of Dogtown?

The middleman chose to cooperate, and Leon was not surprised, these guys were the most slick group of people in Night City.

"Honestly, I really need Mr. Henz, how much do you know about CHOOH2 technology?"

Henz hesitated for a moment and said, "CHOOH2 is essentially a biotechnology technology, and it just licensed this technology to Peizhuo Petrochemical, and although I was in the management before, I didn't have much contact with the technical department, so."

Leon raised his hand to interrupt: "I don't want to hear this, I just want CHOOH2." If you hand over the technology to me, we will have the basis for cooperation, understand? ”

Hanzi was silent for a long time and said, "Don't you need to tell Colonel Han Sen?" ”

The implication is that who is the boss between you and Han Sen, and who can call the shots, I will listen to whom.

"No, I don't." Leon replied categorically.

Hanz understood what he meant and said, "I'll figure it out." ”

Li Ang waved his hand: "Let's go down." ”

Hanz got up: "Sir, Ms. V, the old man will take his leave first." ”

Subsequently, the Nether Dog took it away.

After there were only two people left in the reception room, V asked curiously, "I don't think he will obediently hand over the technology." ”

Leon leaned back on the sofa and said in a casual tone: "Of course, he doesn't really want to join us, he just bets on both ends." ”

"Whoever wins, he helps whom."

V was not as relaxed as him, and said guiltily, "I seem to have caused you trouble, if it weren't for him knowing me."

Leon rubbed the girl's hair: "This doesn't look like the V I know." And I'm the one who pulled you against everyone, and it's me who should say I'm sorry. ”

V pretended to sigh: "No way, who made me like you. of money. ”

As the two were talking, there was a knock on the door.

Leon looked at the door: "Come in." ”

As soon as the words fell, Han Sen walked in with a man and a woman.

"Sir, this is the Kassel brothers and sisters, cyber hackers, who previously worked in military technology, are a member of the Little Beidou Project, and hold the key to the Neural Matrix in their hands."

Leon glanced up at the red-haired twins

Sister Aurore Cassel is good-looking and a bad woman, but like V, she has no furrows and is extremely vicious.

Brother Aymeric Cassel, a man, has nothing to say.

In addition to being employed in military technology, the elder brother also worked in Peizhuo Petrochemical for several years, and the younger sister spent 5 years in prison and secretly had some dealings with the French mafia.

Coupled with their identity as network engineers, they can be regarded as junior ruthless people in the Tongliao universe.

Because he knew how to use the nerve matrix, Han Sen spent money to find the two of them, they were the second of the guests of the party, and he was frightened a lot just now, and now he could clearly see that he was a little uneasy.

Leon was quite interested in the siblings, but not now.

"Let them go and see Akimi, she knows what to do."

"Yes." Han Sen replied respectfully.

This scene made the eyes of the brothers and sisters flash a little strange, especially the younger sister Auror, who kept staring at Li Ang, but didn't say anything, and let Han Sen take them away.

The reception room fell silent again.

V spun his glass and said meaningfully, "She seems to be interested in you." ”

"It's normal." Li Ang stretched: "A man like me is always easy to attract all kinds of women. ”

"Oh, yes?" V put down the wine glass, straddled him directly, and looked into his eyes condescendingly: "I want to see your charm." ”

Li Ang held the girl's waist with both hands: "I can't ask for it." ”

The atmosphere began to permeate the reception room, and V slowly lowered his head.

But just when the two were about to get in touch, she stretched out her index finger and pressed it on the man's lips, and said with a narrow smile: "It's so beautiful to think about, office romance is not allowed in my place, boss." ”

Li Ang put his hands behind his head and asked with a smile, "Shouldn't I have the final say in this kind of thing?" ”

"No, no, no." V put his fingers against his chest, then slid down a little: "Now the initiative is in my hands. ”

Leon was caught by the handle and was powerless to resist.

"Okay, today you have the final say."

V smirked and picked up the cup on the coffee table with his other free hand.

He took the amber liquor in his mouth and kissed Leon on the lips.

A few minutes later, the slightly panting girl asked in a coquettish manner, "How is it, is it delicious?" Would you like another drink? ”

Li Ang told the truth: "It's a little slippery, a little soft, but overall it's not bad." ”

V laughed more and more happily, and then jumped off him happily: "Then you drink slowly, I'll go to the bathroom." ”

After she left, Leon shook his head helplessly.

Is this some kind of jealousy?

Feeling that V would not come back, Li Ang simply called Han Sen again, and the two talked about business.

Dogtown was suddenly locked down, and it is estimated that something strange has been detected outside. It won't be long before someone comes to see what's going on, both physically and online.

Spies who were originally hidden in the shadows will also be active.

Li Ang asked Han Sen to take this opportunity to thoroughly clean the dog town inside and out.

On top of that, holding a presidential auction every two hours, of course, isn't really trying to sell Miles, it's just to toss the big guys and keep them busy, and don't always think about it.

It's like boiling eagles, waiting for them to get tired and give in, and then let them connect with the outside world.

At the same time, a press conference will be held to let the people of Night City and the world know about it, and the bigger the movement, the better.

Finally, it is necessary to wait patiently and implement the next step according to the reaction of all forces.

After chatting about this, Han Sen went to prepare for the next thing, while Li Ang went to the suite next to the reception room to rest.

Predictably, Dogtown is about to usher in a big battle, and he has to recuperate.

As soon as he entered the suite, Leon heard the sound of water in the bathroom, and the melodic ditty of V singing in the shower, singing the song that Lidgie Weichy performed tonight.

"Do you need to get Miss Liqi and sing another song for you?" He joked.

"I don't need to!"

"Can I go in then?"

"Get out!"

"Okay."

Leon shrugged and entered the en-suite bedroom.

Not long after lying down, V, who was covered in water vapor, appeared outside the door.

She leaned against the door frame, and the moonlight outside the window spread all over her body, outlining beautiful lines through the thin bath towel.

"I'm going to find Zhaomi, do you have anything to explain?"

"Nope." Li Ang turned his back to him: "Young people don't stay up late, they will have wrinkles." ”

"Hey, it's boring." V turned and left.

Li Ang didn't care, his methods were too immature, and he didn't even bother to pull with her.

There was nothing to say all night, and the time soon came to the next morning.

It was not surprising that there was an extra bed partner next to Li Ang, covered in alcohol, and he fell asleep, and he didn't know what time he drank with Song Zhaomei last night.

He felt the need to get V to break some bad habits.

Especially alcoholism.

Patting her round and full buttocks: "I'm out." ”

V snorted twice in understanding.

Leon removed his legs from his body and got out of bed, washed, and dressed.

Ten minutes later, I walked out of the suite.

Agent Li De was standing outside the door, his face tired.

"Stayed up all night last night?" Leon asked.

The agent nodded.

Leon patted him on the shoulder: "It's hard work." ”

Li De immediately said, "It's not hard, sir." ”

Then, the two walked and chatted and walked towards the club, and he was always half a step behind Li Ang.

"How's Miles doing now?"

"I didn't cooperate, I tried to go on a hunger strike, but I poured a dose of nutrient solution."

"Well done."

"You won the prize, I should have done it."

As soon as the agent's words fell, Leon stopped: "Go find Alex, if you can convince her, I can spare her life." ”

Li De bowed and said, "Thank you for your generosity. ”

"Go, go, go." Leon urged.

Li De was a little moved: "Then you are here."

Leon said arrogantly: "The world has not yet invented anything that can kill me. ”

After saying that, he strode away, leaving the agent stunned for a long time.

On the stage of the Jewel Green Club, a simple press conference hall has begun to take shape.

WNS News and N54 News, the leading hosts of two well-known media companies, Arif Iqbal and Gillian Jordan sat behind the studio with low eyebrows, almost writing the word worry on their faces.

Unfortunately, as two of Night City's biggest celebrities, they were also on the invitation list for last night's party.

Although WNS News and N54 News are competitors to each other, the two hosts have a good personal relationship, but it is the first time that they sit together to broadcast the news, not to mention that they are still parties to the news.

glanced at each other from time to time, and the bitterness in the hearts of the two of them was about to overflow with their eyes.

Not long ago, they were allowed to get in touch with their families and the company.

The person in charge of the company did not say whether he could be rescued, but this extremely exciting news must be caught, so the two became special reporters and had to follow up on the hostage-taking incident in Dogtown, which was about to shock the world.

"Don't cry with a sad face, that's not the expression you usually broadcast on the news!"

Han Sen, who was supervising the work at the scene, scolded loudly, which frightened the two hosts, and his eyes couldn't help but glance at the corpse in the corner.

When the corpse was alive, his name was Josie Kawokin, the host of the famous financial show "I Care About Your Business", and he was shot and killed not long ago because he annoyed Han Sen.

The blood is still estimated to be hot.

Thinking of this, the two hosts tried to squeeze out an extremely reluctant smile.

Seeing this, Han Sen nodded with satisfaction.

"And you, your hands and feet are sharp, if you delay the time, you will chop up and feed the dogs!"

When the King of Dogtown is in a rage, Leon appears.

His spine softened instantly, and he stepped forward to greet him politely: "Sir, you are here." ”

Li Ang looked at the venue not far away: "Well, what is the current situation?" ”

Han Sen said: "It's about the same as we expected, a few smaller companies and most of the gangs said they could talk, and as for the rest, they said let me wash my neck and wait for death." ”

Li Ang said: "Those companies that made you wait for death have been recorded? ”

"Of course, remember clearly!" Han Sen replied with a smile.

Then, he glanced at the time: "Also, the NCPD and the Night City government issued a joint statement half an hour ago, saying that they would set foot in Dog Town before twelve o'clock at noon today. ”

Li Ang raised his eyebrows: "Interesting, what do you say about military technology?" ”

Han Sen replied: "I'm still waiting, I guess I'm waiting for the results of the NCPD." ”

Yesterday, I couldn't help but steal the laziness, and today the 5,000-word chapter is presented.

In addition, it will be added from tomorrow~
