In Night City, I was picked up by a female V

"Anthony Gilchrist." Arnold took the lead and read out the man's name.

"Why...forget it." Stott wanted to ask Arnold why he knew the man's name, but after thinking about it, she stopped talking and waited for Arnold to continue.

"You are investigating whether he has any connection with the robbery of the team." Arnold clearly pointed out Stott's plan.

"I can tell you that it was indeed this guy who leaked the news." Arnold said incisively.

Stout paused for a moment, and Anthony's eyes widened as he tried to explain, but the mercenary roughly pushed his gun back and he almost got hit again.

"Hehehe... that's what you want to tell me." Stout put the newly lit cigarette into his mouth and looked at Arnold intently. "What I need is not suspicion, but evidence, naked evidence. I believe there is something real in what you said, otherwise I won't believe a word you say."

"Simply put it this way: show me the evidence," Stout said, taking a puff of his cigarette.

To be honest, she was not enforcing the law impartially and wanted to exonerate Anthony.

In fact, she was eager to quickly prove Anthony's guilt and then use the merit of solving the company's internal traitor to move up the company. She was sure that she had a chance for promotion, and she just needed this finishing touch.

With such a great temptation in front of her, she even wanted to take a shortcut and frame Anthony.

But unfortunately, her superiors, those people on the board of directors of the military technology company are not fools. The company's top executives are all shrewd people, and simple frame-ups cannot fool them.

That's why Stout was so eager to find evidence to convict Anthony.

After all, she has a backer, and so does Anthony. She must quickly convict Anthony of a crime before the power behind him takes action. Otherwise, she might be the one to be dealt with by the company.

Thinking of this, Stout looked at Arnold with a little eagerness. She hoped that this big guy was not talking nonsense, but could come up with some practical advice.

And in fact, Bai Rui does have some useful information.

It was indeed this Anthony who betrayed Military Technology and leaked the information about the convoy.

Evidence of this guy's betrayal can be found in the Whole Foods factory later in the game, and later in the game, players can discover that this guy betrayed Militech because his girlfriend was kidnapped by Adam Sledgehammer.

But now, he has no choice but to be caught early.

"I believe that you employees have no privacy in front of the company." Arnold stared at Anthony who was pointed at the gun. "Let's put it this way, this guy's girlfriend was kidnapped by Arasaka, so they threatened him to be a traitor to cause trouble for your company."

"As for how to verify it, I don't think there's any need for an outsider like me to explain it." Arnold looked back at the blond and blue-eyed Stott.

"Hey, immediately review Anthony Gilchrist's information, and focus on his girlfriend's information. Don't miss any clues." Hearing what Arnold said, Stout did not hesitate and immediately dialed the company's internal phone to give the order.

"Fuck, fuck, fuck!!!" Now, Anthony, who was being pointed at by a gun, didn't care that he was also being pointed at by someone else. His eyes were full of fear, and he started yelling and cursing at Arnold.

"No, no, this mercenary is talking nonsense, Stout, you don't believe this guy's nonsense, do you?"

But unfortunately, seeing how Stott took immediate action, she did believe it.

"Don't move!"

"No! Let me go, damn!"

Seeing this, the desperate Anthony began to struggle violently, and even a mercenary could not stop him. At this time, the mercenary with a bleeding nose stepped forward, grabbed Anthony's hair and punched him twice in the face, beating him dizzy. After he bent over in pain, he kneed him twice in the abdomen.

Judging from the way he worked, one couldn't help but suspect that he was taking out his anger from Arnold's headbutt on Anthony.

Then, the mercenary behind took out a plastic rope from the car and tied up the guy's hands and feet, and wrapped tape around his head several times to stick his mouth tightly. Only then did Anthony become completely obedient, twisting uselessly like a maggot in the hands of the two mercenaries.

"Hahahaha! Anthony, you bastard, you're fucking dead this time!" Stout's laughter sounded like a crow, which was extremely unpleasant to hear, but it was not difficult to feel her excitement and excitement from it. Now she had caught him.

Stout could not hide her excitement. She didn't need to wait for the agent's reply. Looking at Anthony's expression, she knew that what the mercenary said was most likely true.

"You..." After mocking Anthony, who looked hopeless, Stott turned around and looked at Arnold, feeling excited but also complicated. She originally thought that the mercenary was looking for trouble, but she didn't expect that he would help her a lot as soon as he spoke. "You are very good."

Shaking off the accumulated cigarette ash, Stout looked at Arnold with satisfaction.

"This is good information, I am very satisfied, what do you want as a reward?" Stout glanced at Arnold's mercenary outfit and spoke again. "Money? I can give you a large sum of money, which will make you happy for half your life."

Because the tall mercenary in front of him solved his big trouble, Stout was now very generous.

In her opinion, these mercenaries live for money, so she would give them a large sum of money, which would be enough to satisfy him.

"No, it's just a gift." But Arnold spoke again coldly, making it impossible to figure out what he was thinking.

"What?" Stott was a little surprised. At first she thought she had misheard, until she saw Arnold's expression remained unchanged, she came to her senses. "You mean, you don't want any reward?"

Arnold remained silent, but nodded.

"Interesting..." Stout held the cigarette in her mouth to cover up the surprise on her face. Now she was a little confused. If this mercenary was not for money, then what was he doing it for? It couldn't be to do good deeds.

Stout thought about it for a moment, and immediately laughed at the thought that had popped up in her mind. She had stopped believing in good people and good deeds since she was three years old.

Shaking his head, Stout thought that this guy might want more than money.

Stout had indeed guessed correctly.

"I also know where the goods that the convoy lost are." Staring at Stout, Arnold told him his real purpose. "I'm looking for a robot, the short-haired one."

"It's in the hands of the people who hijacked your convoy, and I want that robot."

"Also, the Centaur exoskeleton mecha is a product of your company. I want to get one."

Bai Rui's plan requires a Centaur exoskeleton armor. Although it is called an exoskeleton, it is actually a mecha. Unlike those industrial junk, the Centaur exoskeleton armor produced by a military company has the most advanced nerve conduction technology. It can control the mecha as sensitively as controlling your second brother. Bai Rui really wants to get one.

"Flat head, Centaur exoskeleton armor." Stout repeated with a frown.

Both of these things are the company's advanced products. The Xiaopingtai lurking robot is okay, but the Centaur exoskeleton armor is no small gadget. If that thing falls into the hands of terrorists, it can at least kill people through four or five streets. This is a serious matter.

"Who are the people who intercepted the goods, and how do you want to deal with them?" Stout folded her hands, cigarette smoke drifting, and she decided not to mention the robot for the time being.

Confirming that Anthony had betrayed her was only part of her mission; finding and dealing with the gang that had stolen company property was another.

It’s not that the prototype technology company inside does not have backups. If they are lost, they are lost. However, the company does not want to lose ground without getting it back. If they do that, anyone can dare to attack them.

"We don't rule out the use of violence, but we can also buy it with money." Arnold replied to Stott who was in thought.

"I can make the decision about the crew cut, but not the Centaur Armor. If you cause any trouble with it, then that dead dog-like Anthony will be my fate."

“No need for a physical body, a design drawing will do.”

Bai Rui thought that as long as she had the design drawings, she could replicate it, as long as she knew the principle.

"Do I look like an idiot to you?" But when he heard this request, Stout rolled his eyes.

Return the design drawings to him? Do we need to tie up the scientists who developed the technology as well?

A machine cannot be replicated on the black market. If the design drawings were leaked, it would be fun. Stout is not stupid enough to do that.

Now that I think about it, it is not unacceptable to give me a prototype.

"Okay, I agree to your request." Stout nodded, holding up his cigarette, and walked to the car to take out a pink credit chip. "But I also have a request. If you want to buy it, use our money to buy it."

Stout looked calm, but he had his own ideas in mind.

The goods have been lost, but it is not the end of the story just to track down some terrorists. There is a virus in this chip. As long as the carjackers use it, the virus will be implanted into their systems and the real mastermind will be tracked down.

"Pleasant to work with."

Bai Rui, who had played the game, of course knew that there was a virus in it, but it was none of her business. Even if something was found out, it would be a fight between military technology and Arasaka, and she would be happy to see it happen.

At this point, Bai Rui and Stott officially reached a deal.

As soon as Arnold took the chip, Arnold's SUV drove out from the cave not far away. The window rolled down, revealing Bai Rui's appearance.

Chapter 36: Ordinary Crossing

"Don't worry, we're on the same team as mine." Looking at the vigilant Stout and the other two, Arnold spoke calmly.

"Then goodbye." Arnold turned and was about to leave.

"You show off your power in front of me, and now you're leaving." Stout said dissatisfiedly, holding the cigarette.

"Hmm?" Arnold stopped and turned to look at Stout.

Stott stepped forward on her high heels and pressed against Arnold's chest.

Looking up, blowing smoke rings at Arnold, Stott's eyes were sharp as he spoke word by word. "Remember this, I will find out everything about you, even the crappy clinic where you were born and what color socks the nurse who held you wore. Remember this."

After Stout finished his threatening words, he twisted the cigarette butt on Arnold's leather jacket and turned away.

No, I said.

Arnold turned around and went back with Stout speechless. You two can't find an ashtray?

Arnold got on the iron gray SUV, and Bai Rui drove away with his foot on the accelerator.

Phew, that was a close call.

Looking at the moving scenery outside the window, Bai Rui breathed a sigh of relief.

But thankfully, everything worked out fine in the end.

"Drag that dead dog into the car." Stout looked away as he watched Arnold's car drive away.

Anthony, with a dead look on his face, was like a lifeless worm, allowing two mercenaries to stuff him into the trunk. Some people, even though they are still alive, are actually dead.

Moreover, as a traitor to the company, the way he died might not be comfortable.

"Wait." Stout suddenly stopped before getting into the car.

Because she saw flashes on the electric tower in the distance.

"Hand me the telescope." Stout ordered his men with a frown.

Taking the telescope, Stout looked in the direction of the sniper rifle. Although the prosthetic eye has a magnifying function, it is only possible to see clearly through a telescope at such a distance.

There were eight thick cables clamped on the electric tower made of steel supports. On the maintenance platform, there was a huge yellow danger sign, and the sniper mentioned by the black leather mercenary was flashing white light.

That is……

Stout zoomed in to get a closer look.

An empty glass bottle! ?

Bang!

The high-tech telescope fell to the ground and broke into pieces, and Stout turned pale with anger.

An empty glass bottle. She was actually fooled by the mercenary with just an empty glass bottle.

Screw the SPT32 ice storm! Screw the deal!

Stout gritted his teeth, his face turning pale and blue.

"Boss?"

It was not until the mercenary behind him spoke in confusion that Stout came back to his senses.

"It's okay, let's go." Stout got into the car with a grim face and said no more.

Just wait and see, she will definitely get back at him.

But Bai Rui and Arnold had already driven away.

I don’t know if the old lady noticed it.

Bai Rui felt unhappy and thought that he had been a little too despicable.

She wouldn't be so stupid as to hide on the electric tower and take aim, let alone tell her location. What if the old lady was desperate and sent a hovercraft to attack her?

So Bai Rui was not on the tower at all. She just put a glass bottle there and hid herself among the countless abandoned pipes on the top of the drainage ditch.

The muzzle of the Ice Storm sniper rifle in his hand was aimed at Stout and his gang until the transaction was completed.

If anything went wrong, she would shoot immediately.

But fortunately, everything is fine.

After I calmed down a little and was still reviewing the thrill of the confrontation just now, V called me.

"Hey, Bai Rui, have you finished that?" V looked like a decent person when he was doing his work, and he didn't show the flirting look that would embarrass Bai Rui.

"Done, how about you?" Bai Rui replied.

"Jack and I have secretly circled the Vortex Gang's Whole Foods factory. We have a lot of information. Let me see, we will meet at the abandoned parking lot in the north of the city."

"No problem." Bai Rui hung up the phone and drove there.

At the abandoned carpark, Jack and V had already arrived.

V was still driving her Sky-Breaking Hera, but Jack had switched to a brand new vehicle with a brand new exterior that was obviously an expensive motorcycle.

"Hey, Jack, I was just about to say this, your new car is nice." V leaned on his Hera car and looked at the new car under Jack's seat with admiration.

"Tianqiong, a nice car." After taking a look around, V liked it very much.

V was born a wanderer and has been dealing with cars since she was born. Like other wanderers, she became a car lover.
