At a biotechnology conference, a dark figure slammed his fist on the table.

"Arasaka is going too far! He keeps targeting us!"

Another figure said, "It's not certain whether it's Arasaka."

The person sitting in the main seat said, "Okay, stop arguing. It doesn't matter who did it. The most important thing now is to figure out their purpose."

The first person to speak said, “Maybe it has something to do with Arasaka’s RELIC project?

According to our agents lurking in Arasaka, RELIE has a plan and will be launched in two years. It’s a pity that we don’t know what the specific project is. "

The other person disagreed with him, and it was obvious that the two of them were not on good terms.

"I beg to differ. I think it was Zeta Technologies who did it.

Think about it, Arasaka mainly produces arms and cyber components, and our project is biological components, the two are completely unrelated.

Besides, everyone knows that Zeta is ambitious. In the Fourth Corporate War, the nuclear bomb on Arasaka Tower was made by Zeta Technology.

After Arasaka briefly withdrew from Night City, Zeta Technology was involved in the municipal administration of Night City.

Of course, the most important thing is that Zeta Technology has also discovered the advantages of biological components and has begun to devote itself to the research and development of biological components.

In my opinion, it must have been done by Zeta Technology!"

The person sitting in the main seat said: "What you two said makes sense, so let's do it on two fronts. Send agents to investigate Arasaka and Zeta Technology."

The meeting in the biotechnology building ended just like that.

The subsequent impact has just begun.

In Ling Luxian's apartment.

V stared at Ling Luxian opposite him and shouted angrily, "Are you kidding me? You are throwing dirty water on me! Arasaka has already started an internal investigation."

Ling Luxian glanced at a commission he had accepted, smiled and said to V: "Don't panic, we use cash transactions. As long as you clean up the beginning and the end, you should not have left any tails, right?"

"Humph, of course not. I'm not that stupid." V snorted coldly, still a little unhappy.

I have been hunting geese all day, and today I was pecked in the eye by a goose.

An agent from the counterintelligence department actually served as a white glove for others.

What a big joke.

Ling Luxian smiled in an official manner and said, "I didn't expect that there would be an accident. To express my apology, how about I give you an extra 200,000 yuan as an apology gift?"

After saying that, he picked up a suitcase from the side and pushed it to V.

Accident? Who would believe it was an accident? Are you kidding me?

Although V was dissatisfied, his expression eased a lot when he heard that he would be given an extra 200,000 euros.

"Okay, forget it this time. But don't come to me for this kind of thing again in the future."

Ling Luxian smiled with satisfaction and patted V on the shoulder.

"Don't worry, there won't be a next time. This time it was my mistake, I'm sorry."

V opened the cash box and took a look. It looked like the amounts were about the same, so his tone softened.

"I hope you keep your word. Tell me, what else is there?"

Ling Lu took a sip of the wine in his glass slowly and said, "If Jenkins gets promoted, do you think you can take his position?"

V's breathing was a little rapid. How did this guy know Jenkins?

You know, as the boss of the entire counterintelligence department, Jenkins is an existence that ordinary people cannot know.

V stared at Ling Luxian fiercely, "Who are you? Why do you know Jenkins?"

Ling Luxian smiled slightly, "You don't need to worry about how I know him, you just need to answer my questions now."

This guy is becoming more and more mysterious.

V somewhat regretted cooperating with him, as he had originally thought that he was just a chess piece that could be manipulated at will.

did not expect……

"Now it seems that I underestimated you." V said after a moment of silence.

Ling Luxian smiled but did not answer.

V took a deep breath and continued, "I don't know, but he promoted me. I am older than the other two classes in terms of winning potential."

"That's good." Ling Lu smiled slightly, "I have some evidence here that is absolutely favorable to Jenkins. If nothing unexpected happens, Abernathy is finished this time."

V was shocked and immediately asked, "What evidence?"

V feels that if he misses this opportunity, it will be too late to get promoted next time.

However, in Night City, time is opportunity. You must seize any opportunity you can, otherwise you may die at any time.

The same goes for myself and the other party.

Ling Luxian spread his hands and said, "I can't tell you now."

V looked serious. This matter concerned the path to advancement and could not be taken lightly.

"If you really have news, you'd better tell me quickly. Although Jenkins has the upper hand at the moment, Abernathy seems to be favored by the top management. If we delay any longer, I'm afraid Jenkins will lose."

Ling Luxian said calmly: "Trust me, I will tell you when the time comes. You can't eat hot tofu in a hurry."

V frowned. Even though he knew Ling Luxian wouldn't joke with him, he had to be cautious as it concerned his own future.

"I hope what you said is true, otherwise I will never let you go." V warned.

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing." Ling Luxian patted his chest and assured.

V's eyes were wandering, and he was secretly planning a big game in his mind.

"In that case, I'll be waiting for your good news. But if you dare to play tricks on me, you'll have to bear the consequences."

"If we work together, we both benefit; if we separate, we both suffer. How could I play tricks on you? Come on, cheers?" Ling Luxian said sincerely.

V nodded, picked up the glass of wine on the table and drank it all.

"It's getting late. I'm leaving now."

Ling Luxian watched V leave and called the middleman.

"Daino, help me contact the client. I want to meet him. Oh, the real client."

"You are such a troublesome guy. You still need to meet the client?"

"Stop talking nonsense and just do what I tell you to do." Ling Luxian hung up the phone, leaned back on the sofa, and seemed to be thinking about something.

This commission is somewhat important to Ling Luxian.

Because the client is from Qiandi. Or rather... from Kang Tao.

At the Dark Matter Bar, Ling Luxian had already booked a private room and was waiting for the other party to come over.

Soon, a man in a black suit walked in.

The man felt familiar with Ling Luxian the first time he saw him.

"You...have I seen you somewhere?"

Ling Lu had found the treasure, this guy really knew him.

"Haha, maybe." Ling Luxian chuckled twice and pointed to the seat, "Please sit down, sir."

After the man sat down, he asked directly: "I heard that you insisted on looking for me? What do you want to do?"

Ling Luxian said slowly, "Let's not talk about business first. Let me introduce myself first. My last name is Ling."

The man's eyes widened. "Boss Ling? It's you. Why are you in a place like this? And working as a mercenary?!"

President Ling? Ling Luxian narrowed his eyes. Is he the president or the general manager? However, Ling Luxian thought that it was most likely the former.

However, even if he is the president, he is probably the president in charge of the Night City branch.
