I saw that Jack didn't want to talk about V's work in the company.

Ling Luxian immediately changed the subject, "Then how did you and V know each other? A rich girl and a poor boy from the streets, they don't seem to be a good match."

This is also a topic that Ling Luxian is interested in. After all, Jack and V’s acquaintance is too weird, like a future version of the Titanic.

Jack recalled carefully and said, "When she was a child, she lived in Charter Hill. Her family was quite wealthy. But later, a tragedy struck. Her parents died in an accident.

She would have died in that accident, but just like I saved you today, I saved her, and that’s how we met.”

Ling Luxian seemed to be thinking about something. "I thought it was Jack and Rose."

"Huh? What? I don't know any Ruth? Her name isn't Ruth either." Jack quickly denied.

"Haha, I'm talking about Jack, not you." Ling Luxian was amused by Jack's silly look. "This is an old movie, the protagonist of Titanic. It's a love story between a poor boy and a rich girl."

"I thought you were talking about me." Jack pretended to be scared, patted his chest and breathed a sigh of relief.

Ling Luxian said jokingly: "Come on, I'm Jack and you're Jackie."

"Go to hell, can you please stop interrupting me?" Jack didn't get annoyed and continued to tell V's story. "Later, V worked hard and used her parents' inheritance to get an MBA. Later, she joined Arasaka, and I was able to take on some small jobs from her occasionally."

As he was talking, Jack slapped his head and said, "Oh! After this review, V really has no choice but to join the company."

Ling Luxian nodded: "Well, the sunk cost is too high. If she doesn't join the company, I'm afraid V herself won't be willing. But is her name V? It doesn't sound like a name, more like a code name."

"Hey, isn't this for safety? Her real name is Valerie, and her registered name when she joined Arasaka is V." Jack asked back, "You've told me so many stories, but you haven't told me yours yet?"

Ling Luxian smiled bitterly, "I have a happy life and a happy family. I just got promoted and was about to marry my fiancée, but then I found myself traveling to the future fifty years later. What else can I say?"

"What do you mean by traveling back in time to fifty years later? That sounds pretty sci-fi." Jack scratched his head.

"He was hit by a car and lost his memory. His memory is still stuck at the time of 23 years ago." Ling Luxian said casually.

In fact, Ling Luxian was still a little worried. He didn't know how sad his parents and fiancée would be after traveling here.

It's just that things have come to this point and I don't want to think about it too much.

"Oh my God." Jack was a little incredulous. "But you look quite young."

Ling Luxian shrugged, "I'm a senior executive at Kang Tao, you know."

Jack murmured, "No wonder you said your identity was confidential. It seems to be true. I never thought that a poor boy from the Wells family would be able to be friends with a big shot one day."

'Jack, you are the real big shot.'

Ling Luxian patted Jack on the shoulder and said, "Jack, this day will come for you too. You just lack an opportunity, and what Night City lacks the least is opportunities."

"Thank you for your comfort, Pilot." Jack asked again, "But how did you get involved with the Whirlpool Gang?"

Mentioning this Ling Luxian makes me furious. Being targeted by a male ketone is the greatest malice towards straight men.

"It's so unlucky. As soon as I went out, I was targeted by that gay guy named Allen. How can I tolerate this?" Ling Luxian said as he took a big sip of tequila, as if he wanted to get rid of the bad anger in his chest.

"Damn it." Jack cursed as well. "The Whirlpool Gang only produces perverts like this. There's a guy named Royce at the Whole Foods factory. He's even more disgusting."

"Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore."

Seeing that Ling Luxian didn't want to talk about it anymore, Jack didn't say anything more and just said, "The guys in the Whirlpool Gang are the most vindictive, you have to be careful. Otherwise, I'll go with you tonight and get your friend to move out as soon as possible. I know a place."

"Thanks, Jack." Ling Luxian nodded and agreed.

Ling Luxian was indeed a little worried, afraid that the Whirlpool Gang would take out their anger on Rebecca and the others.

Rebecca and the others don't know anything yet. If they are stupid enough and fall into the trap of the Whirlpool Gang, they will be in trouble.

Judging from Rebecca's performance in the animation, it is really possible.

"You're welcome, we're all friends." Jack patted his chest and assured, "Don't worry, with my skills, I can easily beat the Whirlpool Gang!"

Ling Luxian smiled and clinked glasses with him, "It's all in the wine!"

"Good!" Jack also drank a glass of wine generously. "Great! To be honest, you are really good at martial arts. You can tell from the looks of it that you often lift weights, right? Have you learned any Japanese ninjutsu? Can you knock me down in one go?"

"Toyo... Ninjutsu?"

Hearing this term, Ling Luxian looked a little strange.

"What's wrong? Did I say something wrong?" Seeing that Ling Luxian didn't respond and had such a strange expression on his face, Jack was a little at a loss.

"That's not the case." Ling Luxian said with some regret: "In the past, there was a stereotype that Asians knew martial arts. I just didn't expect that now they know ninjutsu."

"Oh, sorry." Jack also felt a little embarrassed. "Maybe it's because Arasaka has taken root here?"

"Maybe." Since Jack said so, Ling Luxian could only agree.

Ling Luxian put one arm on the table and said, "As for whether I can beat you, you will know after trying."

Ling Luxian also wanted to know what level he was at now, so he used this as an excuse to arm wrestle with Jack.

You have to know that Jack is a top-notch mercenary. It's just that he was in a gang before, so he hasn't made a name for himself yet.

"Okay." Jack agreed. He also wanted to test Ling Luxian's strength.

A hand, one big and one small, was placed on the table.

As he slowly exerted force, the table, which was not very sturdy to begin with, began to creak.

However, Ling Luxian vaguely felt that Jack's strength was slightly stronger than his own, but not obviously so.

"It seems that the power gained by cheating is a bit mediocre. At the same level, it is still not as good as those who have been trained for a long time."

Fortunately, Jack didn't know Ling Luxian's psychological activities, otherwise Jack would have died of jealousy on the spot.

Jack's strength was acquired through years of training, and you got it in just one day, and you still complain about being ordinary?

Ling Luxian realized his true strength and saw that the table was about to fall apart, so he slowly withdrew his strength.

"Okay Jack, stop for a minute. This table is falling apart."

When Jack heard Ling Luxian say this, he quickly put down his hand. "Tie Yu, you have a strong grip!"

After they drank for a while, Ling Luxian estimated that it was about time, so he prepared to go back to Rebecca first.

So he asked Jack, "Are you okay in this state? If not, I'll go back first."

"What a joke! This little bit of wine is just for moistening your throat." Jack said, flexing his muscles.

"Then let's go first."

"Okay, I'll go with you." Jack put on his jacket and returned to North Street in Long Beach with Ling Luxian.

As expected, Alan had already brought his men to wait here.
