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

"hey-hey......"

Seeing that the truth was exposed, Bai Rui and V smiled embarrassedly.

"Jack..."

When it comes to Jack, Mrs. Wells can't help but have a headache.

The eldest son of the Welsh family inherited the Welsh family's usual stubborn temper, which is really a headache.

Mrs. Wells could actually understand Jack's dream of becoming a legend in Night City. After all, she had also been on the streets before and grew up listening to the stories of those legendary mercenaries.

However, she finally chose to return to her family and live for the Welsh family. Of course, this was also related to the fact that she was tired of fighting and killing as she got older.

Those old dreams may have lost all their passion in an instant. This is irreversible. Once dropped, it is difficult to pick them up again.

So, Mrs. Wells understood Jack's dream of getting ahead.

But she also knew deeply that this path of mercenary was always accompanied by death, both for others and for Jack himself.

As a mother, although she understood, Mrs. Wells found it hard to accept Jack's possible fate and the end of those street mercenaries rotting in the garbage dump.

Especially when Jack was a teenager and half of his skull was opened, he was in the hospital for a week before he came back from the brink of death. She used her old connections to get Jack to withdraw from the Valentino gang.

But as the saying goes, once the wound has healed, the pain is forgotten. This kid Jack still wants to be a mercenary. Without a gang, he will work on his own as a lone wolf.

For someone with such determination, any words of persuasion seem pale in effect.

"...Jack, after all, has the blood of Heywood in him, and he has a heart that is unwilling to be ordinary. I know this."

In front of Bai Rui and the other man, Mrs. Wells spoke with a complicated expression.

"Well, forget it. He's been locked up for a few days anyway. I think he's learned a lesson. Well, I promised you and him, so let him pursue what he wants."

With a helpless sigh, Mrs. Wells finally said with relief.

"Thank you, Mrs. Wells. Jack will certainly thank you."

Although the plan was accomplished, Bai Rui couldn't be happy.

After all, Mrs. Wells was right. Those who work as mercenaries are destined to have a bad ending.

Even those mercenary legends like the stars in the sky all had a bad ending. This Night City was a place that could devour everyone's heart.

Maybe it will shine, but only for a moment.

"Forget it, let's not talk about that troublesome guy. Why don't you talk about your own business?"

"us?"

Bai Rui and the other man obviously didn't expect that Mrs. Wells would suddenly change the subject and talk about them.

"Yeah, I'm still talking about Jack. You two are also troublesome guys."

Mrs. Wells said venomously.

She also cared about these two homeless girls.

"We, we are fine, everything is normal."

Bai Rui was anxious. She didn't want Mrs. Wells to focus her fire on them.

Just kidding, when they were in this bar before, Mrs. Wells didn't want them to "turn over a new leaf" and stop hanging out with that guy Jack.

"Well, V. Especially you."

However, Mrs. Wells knew the temperament of the two and automatically ignored Bai Rui's explanation.

"I?"

V, who was drinking beer, didn't expect that Mrs. Wells would change the subject so quickly and point the finger at her.

"Yeah, of course it's you."

"Although I know you are a good sister, you can't always focus on Bai Rui."

"Since you've come to Night City, this is your home. Bai Rui is still young, but you're a grown-up girl. You've been in the city for so long, haven't you met anyone who's eye to eye?"

Um, what is this?

Bai Rui expressed his incomprehension after hearing Jack's mother's sudden words.

How did the topic suddenly jump to this point?

"Well, I haven't thought about this aspect yet."

Seeing that Mrs. Wells suddenly brought up this topic, V didn't know how to respond, so he had to put down the beer in his hand and stammered to avoid the question.

They had not yet told Mrs. Wells about what happened between her and Barry.

In Mrs. Wells's eyes, they are still the good sisters.

"I haven't thought about it. That's great. It's time to think about it."

Mrs. Wells sounded somewhat happy when she heard that V had not considered this aspect.

Nonsense, in her opinion, what good people can be found in V's social circle? Most of them are guys with their heads tied to their belts.

But she is different. She has found many good families.

"V, how about I introduce them to some nice families? I know a lot of good ones."

"Those who work in companies and run legitimate businesses are all good people..."

Seeing the heat in Jack's mother's eyes when she said this, V knew that something was wrong.

This is a trap.

Bai Rui, who was listening at the side, widened his eyes.

This, this, this, this is the legendary elders urging you to get married.

And the person being urged to get married is his own girl—V.

What the hell is this?

At that moment, Bai Rui almost spit out the Coke in his mouth.

The person involved, V, also had sweat on his forehead and froze for a moment.

What should she do? She can't make clear the relationship between her and Bai Rui.

Should I tell Mrs. Wells that she has already got little Bai Rui?

As an older sister, I take care of my younger sister until she goes to bed.

This will definitely make you be regarded as a scum, absolutely.

V suspected that he would be immediately kicked out of the Wild Wolf Bar if he told the truth.

Especially after he subconsciously glanced at Bai Rui, who had fair skin, youthful aura and a baby face, V felt even more guilty.

What she was doing was nothing. She was living alone with her godsister and going to bed with her. She could imagine Mrs. Wells's surprised expression when she found out about this.

So, V had a frozen face and was speechless for a moment.

Moreover, Mrs. Wells was an experienced person, and her ability to read people's expressions immediately enabled her to notice something was wrong with V.

Fortunately, Mrs. Wells looked at V's guilty expression and thought that the girl had not thought about getting married yet, so she stopped talking immediately.

"Forget it, V. Maybe you have your own plans. I really didn't consider this carefully."

"Um......"

V didn't dare to speak, or even meet Mrs. Wells's eyes.

Bai Rui on the side was also pretending to be dead, pretending that he knew nothing and drinking Coke.

At this moment, she was extremely grateful that she was younger than V, so she didn't have to face such an embarrassing situation, otherwise she would be embarrassed to death.

Fortunately, fortunately, Jack's mother did not intend to dig into the matter, otherwise, this sister-control trait would have been exposed.

However, just when Mrs. Wells felt that Jack had been slacking off for so long and was about to go check on him, she suddenly thought of something and turned to V and the others.

"V, Bai Rui, you have to be careful in Watson District. I watched the news recently and it seems that there is some unrest there recently."

Chapter 116 Johnny was careless and didn’t dodge!!!

"...I saw on the news that the number of missing persons cases in Watson District seems to be a bit serious recently. I hope you can be careful."

The disappearance of people in Night City has never become news. After all, the disappearance rate of people in Night City remains high every year. In fact, everyone has a rough idea of ​​where the missing people have gone. They were probably caught by scavengers and had their prosthetic bodies dismantled, or they were used as material for filming Black Mewtwo.

However, despite this normal situation, there has been a surge in missing persons cases in Watson District recently, so much so that News Channel 54 reported on it.

Of course, the NCPD authorities have come out and promised to conduct a thorough investigation and tell the public the truth, but no one knows whether anyone will believe it.

However, since they didn't know the truth, Bai Rui and V could only keep it in mind and guess that it was either the work of the Whirlpool Gang, the Scavengers, or the Tiger Claw Gang. After all, these were the only major gangs in the Watson District.

"Jack!"

In the end, Bai Rui and V found Jack first. This guy was smoking at the back door of the Wild Wolf Bar. After Bai Rui called him, he shivered and almost dropped the cigarette on the ground.

"Hey, I told you to be quiet, you scared me."

Jack thought his mother had found out about his slacking off, but he felt relieved when he turned around and saw that his mother was gone.

"Why, how's your talk with mom going? Is there any chance?"

Jack rubbed his hands and asked impatiently.

After seeing Bai Rui nodded, he looked very happy and waved his fist excitedly.

Bai Rui repeated to Jack what Mrs. Wells had said, and Jack was completely relieved.

"Great! I told you there was a chance." Jack was in high spirits. It seemed that he was very happy to be back on the streets.

"Now I can fight you guys on the streets again, win!"

Bai Rui and the others were also happy for Jack. After all, this kid was destined not to be trapped in a bar.

"I have a lot of business to do, Jack. Let's work together after we get out. I guarantee that we can make our business a booming business."

"Yes, Boss Bai Rui!"

In his excitement, Jack even pretended to salute Bai Rui.

After that everything worked fine.

Bai Rui and V, as well as Jack and Jack's mother, went to the house and had a warm lunch.

This kind of small family warmth is something that Bai Rui and V could hardly feel before, so they cherish it very much.

After all, when they were in the wanderer family, V and Bai Rui would either have fast food for the two of them, or cook a big pot of rice together in the entire family camp.

Afterwards, the two spent the entire afternoon leisurely at the Wild Wolf Bar and did not return to the Watson area until the evening.

However, on the way back, Bai Rui received a call from the Queen of the Afterlife, Rogge.

"Hey, why is the busy man from 'Next Life' calling me? What's the matter?"

Bai Rui picked up the phone and greeted him casually, but the words on the other end of the phone forced her to take it seriously.

"I want to see Johnny Silverhand."

On the other end of the video, Roger spoke in a serious tone, forcing Bai Rui to sit up straight.

Half an hour later, the former "Royal Flush" casino.

This former motorcycle gang's territory has now become the headquarters of the "Beehive".

As his own territory, Bai Rui made detailed plans and arrangements for the building.

The building has a total of four floors, three above ground and a basement. The top two floors will accommodate miscellaneous facilities such as residences, computer rooms, and monitoring rooms.

On the first floor, which was where the original casino was located, Bai Rui had other arrangements.

She plans to open a bar as a cover for her organization.

However, this plan is still in its infancy.

As for the basement that Bai Rui values ​​the most, it is naturally the place where all her dirty little secrets are kept. The assembly line for making Xibehao prosthetics, as well as various other tools, things that Bai Rui makes or wants to make, are all placed in this dark and deep basement.

The mercenaries of "Beehive" had already moved into the second floor in advance. They were cleaning up everything, sweeping away the bloodstains and things left by the previous owner. There were quite a few things left behind, mainly furniture, gold and the like.
