"What did you say? You've already discovered this?"

Jefferson was not blind. He could see it clearly when Elizabeth called the deer aside.

Jefferson originally wanted to entertain David, but when he saw Elizabeth's abnormal behavior, he still had some unnecessary suspicion.

My personal security was sent by others to monitor me. The food I ate every day contained all kinds of bad ingredients. Even my memory was changed.

Perhaps, his wife, Elizabeth, might have been sent by the other party to monitor him.

Jefferson was shocked by his own bold idea, which he could not even imagine and accompanied him for decades.

The good wife who gave birth to a smart daughter and helped him become a spy on him one day.

This thought is terrifying. Memories are false, and life is false. If this is true, Jefferson will collapse, not to mention running for mayor.

So Elizabeth called Ling Lu aside, and Jefferson kept a watchful eye. He left David behind and went to the wall to listen to Elizabeth and the others' conversation.

David also saw Jefferson's actions, but he didn't care. It was a family affair between a couple, so there was no need for him to interfere.

They all had things to talk about, and he was bored being alone, so he plopped down on the sofa in the Jefferson's living room and sorted out the information Ling Lu had given him.

These data are so explosive that if they were sent back to Arasaka, who knows what kind of uproar it would cause.

When Jefferson heard what Elizabeth said, he was furious. He never expected that his wife would really betray him.

Elizabeth panicked when she saw Jefferson coming and heard what she said.

"That's not the case, Jeff. It's not what you think."

But Jefferson just wouldn't listen. "You betrayed me, Elizabeth. We have been together for decades. Tell me the truth. Are you a spy sent by the other party?"

Elizabeth couldn't believe her ears when she heard Jefferson's doubt about her words, and she took a step back involuntarily.

"Jeff, you actually miss me so much?"

Ling Luxian pinched his brows, not wanting to see the two of them quarreling here, and said, "I don't want to watch the bloody ethical drama at eight o'clock. If you have any misunderstandings, both parties should just explain it clearly."

"Hmph!" Jefferson didn't want to lose face in front of outsiders. He snorted coldly and asked Elizabeth, "You obviously knew about this a long time ago, why didn't you tell me?"

"Jeff, I have my reasons."

Even though Jefferson pressed her so hard, Elizabeth still called Jefferson by his nickname.

"Now that things have come to this, I will no longer hide it." Elizabeth sighed, full of sorrow, "At that time, my investigation made progress.

But suddenly I received a phone call. The other party threatened me with your life and asked me to stop investigating. Jeff, you have to believe me, everything I do is for your own good. "

Jefferson was stunned. He could never have imagined that there was such a hidden story behind it.

He looked at Elizabeth, his eyes filled with mixed emotions, guilt and heartache. "I'm sorry, Elizabeth, I shouldn't have questioned you without knowing the facts. Okay, maybe I'm a little too sensitive."

Elizabeth smoothed Jefferson's frown. She knew her husband's character very well.

In front of outsiders, Jefferson was indeed a fighter. But Elizabeth knew that he also had a vulnerable side. That was why Elizabeth understood Jefferson's thoughts.

Ling Luxian raised his eyebrows slightly, eating a mouthful of dog food, and sighed that it is better to stay out of this kind of family ethics drama.

"Look, I don't want to get involved in your family affairs. So, Jefferson, can you tell me what you think? Are you still going to run for mayor?"

"I'm sorry to make you laugh." Jefferson returned to his polite state and said, "I'm going to run for mayor, and then find out who is behind this and expose them. I want to let them see how powerful I am."

"You're just playing into their hands."

"I promise, I will definitely make them pay the price. Just like what Sun Tzu said in The Art of War, anger them and frustrate them, humble them and make them arrogant."

Ling Luxian could tell that Jefferson was serious. After communicating with Elizabeth, Jefferson was no longer as suspicious as before, but full of fighting spirit.

"Well, since you insist on doing this, I won't stop you. I believe it will be much easier for you with these evidences."

Ling Luxian reminded again: "Remember not to remove the biochip I gave you. As long as it is there, Ye's Company's brainwashing will not work on you."

Jefferson nodded solemnly, "Don't worry, we understand the interests involved."

Elizabeth also echoed, "Thanks to you, you helped a lot, otherwise we would still be kept in the dark."

Sitting back down in the living room, Jefferson said, "Now, it's time to talk about your compensation. You're not a network monitor, right?"

Ling Luxian folded his arms across his chest, leaned back on the sofa, and said, "That's right, I'm not a network monitor. I said that just to gain your trust.

I'm just a freelance mercenary, but I do have some connection with Internet censorship.

I more or less deceived you in this matter. It was my fault and I apologize."

"I see." Jefferson nodded and said, "But you still helped us after all. For this, I choose to forgive you."

Then, Jefferson looked at David, "You said before that this person is from Arasaka Corporation, right? I'm sorry, don't tell me that I'm not the mayor of Night City yet.

Even if I were the mayor of Night City, I would still target Arasaka if I should target him. It's a matter of choice. You guys helped me a lot, and I have something else to thank you for."

David shook his head and said politely, “We didn’t choose to help you just to get the help of Prosecutor Jefferson.

We were originally investigating Ye's Company, and that's when we found you. Besides, I'm in the intelligence department, and I don't care about business matters. You can rest assured about this."

Jefferson's mouth twitched. It turned out that he was the rabbit that others caught while hunting rabbits. Was he, a candidate for the mayor of Night City and the district attorney, so unreputable?

Ling Luxian said: "As for the reward, it's up to you to pay it."

Jefferson could see that these two people were not the kind of people who would do anything to achieve their own interests. And looking at their financial status, it was clear that they were not short of money.

Jefferson said, "Well, from now on, whenever you need me, I will help you as much as I can."
