Cyberpunk: Legendary Life - Chapter 200
c196 Blooming iron lotus
Champy Building.
Luxurious large flat-floor suite on the top floor.
Arasaka Yorinobu’s face was extremely ugly. He had just received the information from Adam Heavy Hammer from the front line of the stronghold on the outskirts of the city, and his whole body felt bad.
At the last critical moment, the planned attack failed, everyone involved in the operation was wiped out, the bodies were chopped into several pieces, and even the brains were burned off.
Lai Xuanyi rolled his eyes and dialed the encrypted communication.
The call is connected.
Arasaka Yorinobu said feebly: “I’m sorry, Kenji-kun, brothers of Terenka.”
Had he not insisted on carrying out this operation, he would have arranged for his own people to be on the safe side, instead of choosing local gang members in Night City.
The people who died in the operation were closely related to him.
The other end of the phone seemed to have learned the information, and just sighed: “Their death has nothing to do with you. I didn’t expect that the other party would have such a strong person ambushing them. Can you find out who did it?”
Arasaka Yorinobu murmured: “It was Tang Yu. He arranged for two informants to hide in the stronghold, and everyone died on the spot.”
Ye Baixianzhi on the other end of the phone was equally surprised by this. As the founder of the Iron Lotus Brotherhood, he had been secretly cultivating a high-end armed force under his own command.
The team that attacked the Arasaka stronghold came from him.
The entire team is not only very strong, has successfully completed the assigned tasks many times, but is also loyal to Tie Lianhua.
Tie Lianhua invested a lot of effort in this team.
From the initial selection of personnel, people who would rather die will be selected and brainwashed for a long time to make them agree with the purpose of Iron Lotus.
Then, a full-body advanced combat implant is tailor-made for him to strengthen his physical fitness and comprehensive ability training.
This team is the backbone of the Iron Lotus Brotherhood. Now it was killed by Tang Yu’s informant, which made Arasaka Yorinobu feel very shocked and guilty.
It is really puzzling that the existence that has always been enough to compete with 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 he has such a strong person under his command, which shows that his methods are not simple.”
Arasaka Yorinobu is convinced, but he still has a trace of doubt: “The dead brothers, the stored prosthetics in their minds have been destroyed. No one can detect their past and origins, and it can be confirmed that it was Tang Yu.”
then.
Yorinobu added: “Maybe we should talk to him.”
Rather than destroying the memory chip, Lai Xuan believes that Tang Yu can completely remove the memory storage and obtain more information after cracking it. He can even hand it over to the company or Saburo Arasaka in exchange for more benefits.
In doing so, Tang Yu not only achieved meritorious service, but also effectively attacked Lai Xuan’s forces.
But Tang Yu did not choose to do this, and also eliminated future 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 probably wants to save his life in this struggle more than anyone else.”
“His approach is nothing more than trying to leave room for both sides. Such a guy who is greedy for power cannot stand on the same front as us, let alone be used by us.”
Arasaka Yorinobu was silent.
Because of Tang Yu’s action, the plan to intensify the conflict between Arasaka and military technology by attacking the Arasaka stronghold failed.
And if he wants to control the Night City Arasaka Tower, it will be even more difficult.
Ye Bai Xianzhi advised: “Lai Xuan, if you want to achieve great things, you must first give up. She refuses to give you the power. This is a tough attitude in itself. Remember, without extreme determination, it will be difficult to achieve anything.”
“The price we have paid is too much. This is a road filled with blood. Please wake up soon, Mr. Lai Xuan!”
After hearing the other party’s urging, Arasaka Yorinobu fell into entanglement and struggle.
According to Yipaku Kenji’s original idea, after he arrived in Night City, he arranged for the Iron Lotus Ninja to wait for an opportunity to kill little Michiko.
He framed the death of little Michiko on military technology, then took control of the Night City Arasaka Tower, and forcibly started a new round of large-scale hot war with military technology.
At that time, Saburo Arasaka, who was far away in Kyoto, was unable to get off the tiger.
If he chooses to take the initiative to apologize and negotiate with Military Technology to settle the matter, his reputation globally and within Arasaka will be greatly affected, and he will not be far away from truly going out of office.
If you choose to escalate the conflict, you will follow the Iron Lotus Brotherhood’s intention and take the opportunity to provoke a corporate war and drag everyone into the quagmire of war.
But Yorinobu didn’t want to kill Michiko innocently because of a power struggle.
In the Arasaka family, she has always stayed away from the Kyoto family home and has not been deeply involved in family affairs. Everything Saburo did has nothing to do with her.
and.
As his eldest brother’s only remaining bloodline in the world, little Michiko couldn’t do anything no matter what.
Yori Xuan is not a murderous person, he wants to inspire a broader force to overthrow Saburo’s rule.
While superficially submitting to Saburo Arasaka in Kyoto, he secretly communicated with the United Network Monitoring and borrowed power outside the black wall to destroy his immortality plan.
At the same time, the Relic biochip technology was introduced to the market in Night City, exposing Saburo Arasaka’s ambitions to the world, and getting all the dignitaries involved in this crazy experiment.
When people use relic biochips with imperfect technology, they will inevitably have frequent accidents and strongly question the intentions of Arasaka Company.
Projects such as soul killers, shrines, relic biochips, etc. will all face unprecedented opposition from society.
Yori Xuan believed that his father could not survive much longer. Only by destroying his immortality plan would he have enough time to prepare.
“Kenji, just wait and see. No matter what, we have reached this point.”
Ye Baixianzhi’s tone was a little helpless, and he said sadly: “That’s it, contact me after you figure it out.”
The phone hangs up.
Arasaka Yorinobu fell into deep thought.
“Tang Yu, it seems we really need to talk.”
He turned back and looked at the electronic image on the screen. It was a nostalgic concert by the Samurai Band in the company square, and Kerry was singing hard alone.
Arasaka Tower.
Jungle meeting room.
Little Michiko couldn’t help but sneer when she saw the silent board members around the conference table.
Just now, she was aggressively accusing her of inaction with intelligence. After seeing the first line of evidence from the scene provided by Tang Yu, everyone fell silent.
It was not military technology that attacked the Arasaka stronghold, but another unknown force. If they rashly break up with military technology, they cannot bear this responsibility.
Although Tang Yu found evidence that the attacker was not a military technology, he still did not find out the details of the other party, and the matter was not handled properly.
After Xiao Michiko gained the upper hand, she did not continue to attack, but just let the relevant departments continue to pursue the investigation.
But she believed that with Tang Yu’s investigation, the other party would be more honest.
After little Michiko announced that the meeting was over, she turned and returned to her exclusive office.
She has already learned the specific details of the scene. The attacker’s body was cut in half, the brain storage chip was burned, and the people from the Arasaka Technology Department could not find any useful clues.
Little Michiko had some doubts as to whether these attackers had set up a self-destruct program or if someone else had done it.
If it was Tang Yu who did it, then there must be more secrets hidden behind him.
Little Michiko couldn’t figure it out for a moment.
Tang Yu has been doing things in her hands, but she always feels like she can’t control it.
He is indeed very capable of getting things done and can always help him stabilize the plate at critical moments, but it is difficult to say that he has any loyalty.
Little Michiko couldn’t imagine what kind of backstabbing she would suffer if Tang Yu turned against him one day.
She had this intention in placing Sasha next to Tang Yu.
After guessing for a while, she brought up the contact interface and sent a message to Tang Yu.
‘The board of directors has finally settled it. The materials you sent were very timely. After waiting for a while, let’s go to a hot spring. The Tiger Claw Gang has opened a new hot spring shop on Sakura Street. ’
It didn’t take long for a reply to arrive.
“Roger it, contact me when you have time.”
Little Michiko: “.”
She closed her eyes and smiled helplessly, as if she was used to this guy’s impudence, always slipping like a loach.
Little Michiko sat back at her desk, turned on the office system, and prepared to continue dealing with some unfinished matters.
The unknown force’s attack on the Arasaka stronghold is only a small part of her work. More important projects involve hundreds of millions of funds, which requires her to make careful decisions and feedback the decisions and results to Kyoto in a timely manner.
She believed that her efforts would be seen by Mr. Saburo in Arasaka Manor in Kyoto.
Instead of focusing on merit and focusing on hard work, I will leave a third of an acre of land for her in the future, so that she will not be left with nothing.
Just as she was calling out of the office system, an official internal announcement from Arasaka Tower in Kyoto was sent.
Michiko Konori hurriedly opened it to check, and her pupils suddenly shrank.
The content of the notice clearly stated that the main person in charge of Night City Arasaka Tower has been changed to Arasaka Yorinobu, and Arasaka Michiko will serve as the co-managing director to assist Arasaka Yorinobu in his work.
Approved by: Saburo Arasaka.
Little Michiko looked at this announcement blankly, her eyes filled with disbelief.
It was like a thunderbolt fell in her mind, making her head numb and leaving only a blank.
“grandfather.”
She didn’t know what to say, and she didn’t understand why Saburo Arasaka would approve such a decision.
soon.
Little Michiko was relieved.
As the legitimate heir to the Arasaka Company, Yorinobu should practice his skills with the Night City Arasaka Tower before taking the helm.
Perhaps Saburo Arasaka’s time is running out, and he hopes to use this method to make Yorinobu adapt earlier and become the real helmsman of Arasaka.
now.
Little Michiko only felt that Tang Yu was right. Arasaka Company was not a battlefield at all, but the dictatorship of Saburo Arasaka.
No matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t change the fact that her name was Michiko Arasaka, nor could she change the fact that she was an ‘outsider’ to the Arasaka family.
As Saburo’s only remaining son, Arasaka Yorinobu was born to have everything in the Arasaka Empire. Even if he had disobeyed and made mistakes countless times, it still could not change that he was the new king who was about to ascend the throne.
Arasaka Yorinobu.
What four words of great value and weight.
Little Michiko thought she would be wronged, but found that she couldn’t shed a single tear.
She had already expected this outcome. She could fight anyone and anything, but in the end she couldn’t fight Yori Xuan.
Little Michiko only felt disgusted with this family, even her name was inherited from Yorinobu’s mother’s name.
As the most important symbol of the Arasaka family, this name is second only to Saburo Arasaka.
But the treatment she received was completely opposite. She was hidden in America by her father Kei Arasaka since she was a child, and she did not dare to have any contact with the Kyoto family.
Moreover, her appearance is different from other family members, which is why she hates returning to Kyoto and tries her best to stay in New America.
To achieve her current status, she has worked countless times harder than Arasaka Yorinobu.
today.
All it took was one word from Saburo Arasaka, and she had to give it up.
Little Michiko took a few deep breaths, stretched out her fingertips and clicked to confirm receipt.
Because she is an associate director, when Arasaka Yorinobu does not go to work at Arasaka Tower in person, she can still handle business as usual.
The only difference is that her heart has changed.
Tang Yu sat on the balcony holding his guitar, playing rock tunes by the Samurai Band.
I haven’t played electric guitar for a while, so my fingering is a bit rusty.
After today’s board meeting, Arasaka Yorinobu’s side may have a little difficulty explaining.
He has already found clues that the group of people who attacked the Arasaka stronghold are from the Iron Lotus Brotherhood.
The mastermind behind the scenes is most likely the mysterious man in Crystal Palace Chaomeng. Tang Yu guessed that it is most likely Ye Baixianzhi, the founder of the Iron Lotus Brotherhood.
Tang Yu is supportive of the Iron Lotus Brotherhood.
He knew that the members of this organization were all children of chaebol families like Yorinobu Arasaka. They hoped to overthrow the tyrannical rule of the company through their combined strength, but after so many years, little effect was achieved.
Perhaps Yorinobu woke up earlier than others and knew clearly that once he left the company and lost his Arasaka name, he would be unable to accomplish anything.
Trying to use the company’s power to provoke the company is like a tree without roots, lacking real power.
If Arasaka Yorinobu really wants to complete his plan, he must first eradicate his beloved Hanako, then find the backup of Arasaka Saburo hidden in a shrine somewhere, and delete all data about him.
Finally, he came to power in an official capacity, took complete control of the entire Arasaka Tower, and started a world-class war that would destroy the entire world.
But if it is destroyed, will a better new life be born?
To this.
Tang Yu has a conservative attitude.
The fifth corporate war broke out, and the trauma the world suffered was definitely not as simple as destroying giant corporations.
Countless lives will die innocently in the violent turmoil, and the world will enter a new period of darkness.
Let the world re-establish order in blood and fire. It is foreseeable that the pain and tears of the people at the bottom will not diminish.
They tried this grand and romantic plan, but in the end they inevitably lost everything.
Tang Yu can no longer accept such a result.
He cannot be like Johnny Silverhand, who is willing to burn everything for the fire in his heart, even at the expense of everyone around him.
Maybe, he really needs to have a good talk with Yorinobu.
None today.
I wish you all good luck in the Year of the Rabbit.
Go watch the Spring Festival Gala with your family.
