Cyberpunk: I didn't cheat.

Chapter 90 Ugly

The famous philosopher Dutch van der Linde once said, "I have a plan!"

He showed us through his actions that people need to find the right direction to make a good plan.

Yoshitaka Sato, a repressed individual with an almost insane thirst for power, personally devised what he believed to be a foolproof plan. He personally set up sniper positions in the locations Vito had instructed him to, and also used a group of hackers to monitor an entire block.

Once the blocky head appears, the Arasaka Commando will engage it, snipers will block its retreat, and hackers will infiltrate 0.

With this level of encirclement, the cube-headed guy could only surrender helplessly, allowing Yoshitaka Sato to mold and flatten him at will.

Unfortunately, Vito knew nothing about Zhu Ying, not even Jin Yan's code name. He never expected that his casual fabrication would elicit such a strong reaction from Sato Yoshitaka.

Vito hadn't expected Yoshitaka Sato to personally lead the operation and even serve as the assault team leader. If Vito knew, he would definitely say, "He's over fifty and shouldn't be sitting in his office, but instead he's personally going to the front lines to catch those blockheads. Isn't this ridiculous?"

Unfortunately, Vito was unaware that he was inspired by Jimmy Kurosaki to research a portable EMP device, and his engineering skills were still developing rapidly, with the research progressing quickly.

When the time comes to counter-encircle them, these Arasaka agents will be at our mercy.

Vito and Yoshitaka Sato: "Hehehehehe!"

The meeting between Lin Xiaohan and Lucius Lane went very smoothly. Kangtao will invest in building an industrial park in Night City, but this move has aroused the vigilance of Arasaka Corporation. This meeting is considered to be a test by Night City Mayor Lucius Lane to break out of control.

After the meeting, Lin Xiaohan returned to the Ganbi Building.

"Chairman Lin, Zhu Er's position has reappeared."

Lin Xiaohan didn't take it to heart.

"Another smoke bomb?"

The subordinate immediately reported.

"It's questionable. The Panlong team, which was monitoring the area, also discovered that Arasaka sent a group of hackers to take over the neighborhood. Our people discovered their hackers."

Lin Xiaohan gently tapped the table with her hand.

"The Panlong Group is lying in wait to monitor Arasaka. I'll go back to Shenyang tomorrow. If Zhu Er really shows up, kill him on sight!"

"clear."

Lin Xiaohan answered the call from headquarters.

"As intelligent autonomous driving continues to advance, this time there are both risks and opportunities. Without the courage to ride the wave, how can we achieve leapfrog development?"

"Chairman Lin, the collapse of the old network already destroyed our self-driving cars once, and the hidden crisis has not yet been resolved. We—"

"By 2077, we must achieve fully autonomous driving in China. We must seize the initiative; this is one of our few opportunities, and we must grasp it."

"clear!"

Zeta Technologies' Night City branch building.

"Zhu Er has been releasing his location online, which is probably done by someone to cover for him."

"For each signal release, we send a grasshopper armored squadron and a hovercraft together."

"Yes, sir."

"We have the capability to launch a comprehensive strike, so we should do it. This is a great opportunity to take down Arasaka."

"Sir, what should we do with Zhu Ai?"

"Capture her if you can, eliminate her if you can't. We can't let her be left to other companies, especially Arasaka and Military Technology!"

"Understood, sir. One more thing, Tommasino went to his estate in Night City."

Military Technology Night City Branch Building.

"Hello, this is Billy Stone. I'm requesting to connect to President Miles!"

"President Myers has requested a call, please wait."

"I am Rosalind Miles, please speak."

"Your Excellency, Zhu's signals have appeared in multiple areas of Night City. Requesting the activation of the Night City Joint Logistics Command for assistance in the arrest."

Billy Stone's request for the Joint Logistics Command's cooperation was completely unfounded. The Joint Logistics Command had withdrawn from Night City after the end of the Unification War, so his sudden request for their assistance seemed suspicious.

"The Joint Logistics Command has only two hidden agents in Night City."

"Request that an agent become a branch advisor to assist in the operation to capture Zhu Yi."

Rosalind Miles sneered inwardly. They wanted both agents; it seemed someone had bribed Billy Stone to do something behind the scenes.

Make a big move.

"Activation approved. Awaiting the distribution of agent information."

Miles ended the call and spoke to his assistant beside him.

"Activate two Night City spies, basic level, and be prepared to discard them."

"Yes, Your Excellency President."

At this time, a team of experts came to the White House office to report on their work.

"The initial phase of Project Black Wall progressed smoothly."

Miles nodded slightly, his face revealing neither joy nor anger.

Dogtown, Gemstone Club.

"She can't fly out of Night City, she can only run on the ground with her bird claws to contact those in the wasteland. Isn't that Angela in the wasteland? Let them rob any car they see, I'll cover the losses, and if they catch her, I'll give them some money."

"Yes, Colonel! But according to reports, Angela Ace has already been killed by the Wanderers."

"Then find other night ghosts. A deserter is a deserter; he can't even handle someone carrying a rake."

"yes!"

After giving instructions to his subordinates, Kurt Hansen pushed open the office door and walked into the noisy club.

Many Night City celebrities were chatting and laughing, while corporate spies from Military Technology and Zeta Technology were exchanging intelligence at the circular bar, and NCPD Chief of Police Jerry Fort was waiting in a booth for him to come over.

Colonel Hansen received compliments from the celebrities as he walked to his booth and sat down, where his bodyguard, a hound, poured drinks for the two of them.

"Fort, you must have heard that someone everyone wants has come to Night City. To be honest, I'm quite interested too."

Jerry Fort astutely observed the needs of the various companies in Night City, and he feigned difficulty as he spoke.

"Colonel, you know I have Lucius above me. He's been getting very close to the company lately, and I don't want to cross him."

Hansen beckoned, and a ghost hound soldier handed him a gold chip.

"My men will go find someone, but your men need to keep their eyes closed, understand?"

Fulte calmly accepted the chip.

"Of course, Colonel, we're good friends."

Colonel Hansen nodded in satisfaction, then got up to talk business with the others.

Meanwhile, the director of the NCPD, sitting in the booth, started having some interesting thoughts.

He didn't have the guts to confront the company head-on and poach its employees, but he had ten times the guts to make money off this, and he even prepared one for Lucius Lane, the mayor of Night City.

He had already sensed that Lucius Lane and Arasaka's honeymoon was over, and he could use this to sway Mayor Lane into allocating government funds to the NCPD.

The more he thought about it, the more his plan seemed to work. The director couldn't wait to leave Baoshiqing. On the way, he gave his confidant an order to draft a document that he would personally deliver to the mayor at the city hall the next day.

With such a consistent goal of finding one person, perhaps Zhu Ying should leave her recipe at the Laisheng Bar.

A dash of whiskey, a dash of Chartreuse, a sip of black cherry liqueur, and a final touch of lemon juice.
