Ling Luxian was a little embarrassed. As a senior, was Li De trying to intimidate him?

What information Jiraiya.

"If you have something to say, just say it. There's no need to do this." Ling Luxian said helplessly.

"I want to ask you one thing, what supports you to jump into this fire pit?"

Li De was very curious. He jumped into the fire pit because he was an CIA agent.

There is absolutely no need for Ling Luxian to wade into this muddy water. As a legendary mercenary famous in Night City, what does he want?

Profits? He has plenty.

Power? New America couldn't find any information about him before, which means he was not a simple person. If he wanted power, he would have had it long ago.

With both power and benefits, Li De really couldn't imagine what drove Ling Luxian to take such a big risk to save the president of the new United States.

Not to mention his reputation, this was a secret operation and was destined not to be publicized. It was nothing more than adding a chapter to his mercenary career.

So Li De wanted to find out why Ling Luxian was going through so much trouble. Otherwise, he would not feel at ease.

Ling Luxian shrugged and said, "Actually, now I don't understand why I want to get involved in this mess.

I have an experimental RELIC chip from Arasaka on me. Before I came here, Song Zhaomei said she could help me solve this problem.

Now the odds seem slim. So I don’t know why I don’t just run away now.”

Li De nodded and said, "I think I understand a little bit. When I was cleaning other people's butts, I was also confused.

Come on, take me to meet that friend, please tell me the address. "

Li De fastened his seat belt and prepared to start the journey.

"Let me be clear in advance. It's not a good place. You probably won't like it. It's on Elizabeth Cress Street. There's an abandoned building there. It's on the eighth floor there."

"You're right. I don't like it there. So you left her alone in Dogville?"

Ling Luxian frowned, "What are you talking about? What do you mean I left her alone in Dog Town? Do you want me to take her for a stroll on the streets?

Hey! Come look! This is the new President of the United States, Rosalind Myers.

Please, she is not a child, she can take care of herself."

Li De pondered for a moment and said, "Oh... that's true. Sorry, I'm a little stressed."

"It's okay. I forgive you. The ghost hounds won't go there right now, and it's a famous haunted house. Miles is still safe."

Reed is a typical agent. If he knew about the Jacob brothers, I'm afraid they would not survive.

Therefore, Ling Luxian subconsciously concealed the existence of these two brothers.

Li De did not refute. Even though the unfinished buildings in Dog Town were not a safe place, compared to the outside world, they were all quite safe.

He had just spoken in a harsh tone and offended Ling Luxian. Li De didn't want to offend him again.

Then he asked for help, which angered Ling Luxian. No one could predict what would happen next. He alone could not save Miles.

Coincidentally, at this moment Li De received a call, which saved him.

"Wait a minute, I need to take a call."

"Take it."

The other person wants to answer the phone, Ling Luxian won't stop him from answering it, right?

I didn’t know what the other party said, I just heard Li De speak.

"I'm taking a day off today."

"How should I know? You're the manager... Go talk to Bob. He owes me a favor."

"Yes, that's right. You figure it out yourself. I'm not going anyway."

Ling Luxian smiled and shook his head. It seemed that Li De was being taken back to work by his unscrupulous boss.

Oh, yes. A manager, not the boss yet.

Li De turned around and explained, "My boss called me. I was working as a security guard at a nightclub."

Ling Luxian was having a hard time trying to hold back his laughter. "An ace agent of the United Nations Intelligence Agency would actually work as a security guard in a nightclub? Isn't that embarrassing?"

"Many retired police officers and veterans also do this... They are all tough guys with pasts. They become familiar with each other after a few drinks."

Li De’s explanation is a bit pale.

"What you said is true. There are still many veterans who have become homeless. You are not doing well either. You are not as good as Mann.

Fortunately, Mann did not accept your invitation before, otherwise, who knows what he would become. "

"I didn't expect you knew Mann too? He's a good guy. How is he doing now?"

Hearing this familiar name, Li De suddenly fell into the past.

After all, he is a friend, and Li De feels that he should still care about him.

"Not bad, now find a job under me. It's similar to what you are doing now. You will be protecting the new President of the United States next. He is protecting the Mayor of Night City. You both have a bright future."

"Huh, that's a good sentiment. This guy is so keen on installing prosthetics on himself that I thought he had turned into a cybernetic lunatic."

Li De had a smile on his face, happy for his friend's current life.

"That's about right. He got hurt once and I woke him up. Now he pays more attention to his mental state.

Fortunately, we have a good cyborg doctor, Old Victor, Victor Victor. He is definitely the best cyborg doctor in Night City. Even Zeta is trying to recruit him. I'll let you meet him if you have the chance."

Li De was very happy and started talking. Perhaps it was because he hadn't talked to anyone for a long time, and when he met someone he could trust, he could talk a lot.

"It's good to have a reliable cyborg doctor as a friend. And thanks. I don't have many old friends, so I'll save as many as I can."

"You're still being polite to me?" Ling Luxian patted Li De's chest. "Mann is not only your friend, but also my friend. Who knows, we can become good friends."

"Hey! I'm still driving."

Li De was so scared that he almost hit someone else's car.

Ling Luxian sneered, "Li De, don't make me laugh at you, be more alert."

"Ahem~" Li De cleared his throat awkwardly and asked, "Is Miles still the same? Still smoking?"

"How come she's a heavy smoker? Even you know she smokes?"

"So it looks like he smoked."

"That's right." Ling Luxian nodded slightly, "I just smoked a big pack this morning."

"That's not good." Reed sighed, "You're wrong. Miles is not a heavy smoker. But whenever things get completely out of control, she starts smoking like crazy. It seems that I really have to help her."

"It seems that you didn't intend to help her completely before?"

"No matter what, she is someone who has stabbed me in the back, so I have to think twice before helping her. I won't say any more, we'll be there soon."

Ling Luxian thought to himself that it turned out that Li De also knew that Miles was unreliable.

Then he rushed to help Miles, really...
