The Creators: From Night City
Page 182
"Indeed, without a few stable channels to transport goods to major cities, business cannot continue." Jiang Bing said with ulterior motives.
"Take Night City for example. The Badlands has been a bit more peaceful lately, but it's not easy to get out of the border checkpoints."
"Would you like me to introduce you to Deputy Mayor Wilton Holt? He's a force to be reckoned with in this area." Lu Sai seemed to be demonstrating his strength, trying to deter Jiang Bing, his unexpected 'rival', but secretly he was giving Jiang Bing a warning. (Are you confident in your involvement in this matter? With Deputy Mayor Wilton Holt involved, can you break through the official blockade and send someone over?)
"Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Lu Sai. I've been doing business for many years, so I have some business experience. Besides, I'm not dealing in bulk goods." Jiang Bing shook the fox fur on his shoulders and continued, "These are just light goods. Sometimes, if we need to use other channels, it's not difficult." (I guarantee that I can ship them out, don't worry.")
"It may be impolite to say this, but can I touch it?" When the two were about to continue their encrypted conversation, Lizzie Weisz interrupted and asked Jiang Bing's white fox fur shawl as if she was very eager.
"I've never seen such beautiful and complete fur."
Luxury goods are a topic that big stars like Lizzie Weisz cannot avoid. As the saying goes, a man lives by his face and a tree lives by its bark. Even to maintain her status, Lizzie Weisz needs a lot of luxury goods to set off her.
What's more, the way Jiang Bing looked at this woman, it seemed that she really liked his big scarf.
"If Ms. Weisz is interested, then of course there's no problem."
This white fox fur is worthy of being made by the old Indian Luo Yu. The quality is really good. Jiang Bing has been wearing it for a long time and is almost getting prickly heat. He took this opportunity to tear it off and piled it into Lizzie Weisz's arms.
The other party simply chose to give up and gently stroked the smooth and soft hair of the fur with his metal fingers.
This is pure American white fox fur, most likely hunted in the snow-capped mountains north of the Wapiti Reservation. The entire fox fur is bright in color, naturally uniform, without any color difference or spots. It is a small treasure even in the wild animal-infested world of Red Dead Redemption, not to mention this world where a large number of wild animals are almost extinct.
This is truly something that money can’t buy.
"This is native fur, Mr. Fox. You're quite capable of preserving it so completely."
Lu Sai glanced at Ssak Opp opposite him calmly, and seeing that he was eating the melon with relish and not noticing anything unusual, he continued with his underground contact work.
"Every profession has its specialties. This is my job, after all." Jiang Bing nonchalantly toyed with the chips in front of him and retorted, "We've been chatting for so long, and I haven't asked what Mr. Charleson does for a living?"
In the eyes of others, the two people's eyes met briefly, and they exchanged sharp glances, as if an invisible electric current flashed through them.
"I, I am not as good as Mr. Fox. I am a doctor."
Chapter 313 Successful Connection
"It's good to be a doctor. You can cure diseases and save lives, and you never have to worry about not making money."
Lizzie Weisz liked the fur more and more, and couldn't help asking, "Mr. Fox, where did you buy it? Could you recommend it to me?"
"No need for introduction." Jiang Bing now began to feel that this all-metal woman was a bit of a nuisance, but he still had to use her as an introduction to stage an underground traffic station with Lu Sai, so he could only continue to comfort her.
"I'm in the luxury goods business. Miss Weisz likes this white fox fur, so I'll just give it to you. I have a lot of similar items, and I'd like to invite you to visit someday."
"I am unworthy of it, Mr. Fox. This is too precious."
Lizzie Weisz looked reluctant, but pushed the fur back.
"Liqi, if you like it, why don't I buy it for you."
Lu Sai suddenly spoke, his voice was soft, but the atmosphere was somewhat tense.
Here it comes, gossip is coming, and the gamblers around instantly pricked up their ears.
But how could Lizzie Weisz, a veteran in the world of Vanity Fair who has been around for many years, let the situation develop to the point where it would embarrass everyone?
Anyone who can enter and exit the Ganbi Building has some status, and the best outcome is to not offend either party.
Lizzie Weisz softly rejected Lusay's proposal, "This gift is too valuable. I can't accept it for no reason, Lusay."
She waved and took two glasses of wine from the passing servants, and handed them to the left and right respectively, signaling them to be patient.
"And you, Mr. Fox, you gave me such a valuable gift without any hesitation. Do you have any other thoughts about me?"
Lizzie Weisz made a joke, revealing something that was tacitly known to the public, and using both defense and attack to nip the budding conflict between the two.
"Excuse me, gentlemen, I have to go to the restroom first." After Lizzie Weisz did all this, she immediately chose to withdraw. Since no one was there, there was naturally enough buffer space.
To put it another way, if the two of them started fighting again, it would have nothing to do with her. She could return to the card table at an appropriate time depending on the situation, or simply never come back and make up a random excuse so that no one could blame her.
As expected of a hot star in the world of Vanity Fair, he is quite resourceful.
The game returned to its normal rhythm, and a hint of disappointment appeared on Ssak Opp's face.
Soon, with Jiang Bing's reckless operations, the chips in his hand were rapidly reduced, but it did not prevent him from chatting with Lu Sai from time to time.
"Night City is far from peaceful, Mr. Fox. You have such a big business, it's best to bring some security personnel with you when you go out."
Jiang Bing casually threw out two chips and said, "Whoever dares to cause trouble in the Ganbi Building and then comes out to play will be followed by a tail. What do you think, Mr. Lu Sai?"
"Safety first, bullets don't know who you are." Everyone was slightly angry when they heard Lu Sai's words.
"Heh" Jiang Bing smiled disdainfully, as if he didn't care about his love rival's provocation.
He threw away the cards in his hand and pretended to get up and leave. Lu Sai immediately mocked him: "Why, Mr. Fox, you can't afford to lose."
"I still have some chips here. If it doesn't work, I can give you some."
"Thank you for your kindness, but no, I'm just going to the bathroom."
Lu Sai knocked on the table and stood up. "What a coincidence! I want to go too. Why don't we go together?"
The two of them had fake smiles on their faces, like two fighting cocks with their necks stiffened, and left the table together, heading towards the bathroom at the same time.
In the eyes of others, Jiang Bing's going to the bathroom was fake, and it was obvious that he wanted to leave the table to find Lizzie Weisz who had left earlier. Lu Sai was naturally unwilling to be outdone and wanted to confront Jiang Bing to the end.
However, Sisak Opp was very alert and signaled his bodyguards to get up and leave, falling behind the two men, of course, most importantly behind Lu Sai.
He was not afraid of Lu Saipao, nor was he afraid that the other party would do anything secretly. His task was only to keep an eye on the other party and keep track of his whereabouts at all times.
As long as Lu Sai doesn't leave the field, Aurora alone will naturally not be able to make any waves.
No matter how hard the bodyguards watched, they couldn't stick their eyes into the toilet.
The two met in the bathroom.
"Where's Aurora?"
"She's nearby. I was afraid she'd be recognized by that fat pig across from you, so I didn't show up."
"It was right not to show up. Everyone is looking for her now."
"What benefits did Ai Luo offer you to get involved?" Lu Sai said quickly. "All her accounts have been sealed, and all her assets have been frozen. Logically, she shouldn't be able to get a penny out."
"She still has herself."
Lu Sai's face suddenly changed color.
"I'm talking about her medical skills."
The expression of cousin Lu Sai finally eased.
"【Anti-Entropy】even dares to ask for people from the biotechnology industry?" Lu Sai stared at Jiang Bing.
"My friend, you are eager to find talents. Besides, after what happened, it is not certain whether she is still one of your people."
"That's right. You're the only one who dares to go against Biotech in this situation. After all, you've already killed two executives. No matter how big the problem is, it won't matter, right, Sabul Lyric?"
Lu Sai's words were full of sarcasm.
"You don't have to worry that I will do anything bad to her. It's not worth it." Jiang Bing saw through the other party's worries at a glance.
"If I wanted to do it, I would have done it long ago. There's no need to wait until today."
Lu Sai's expression suddenly became serious, completely inconsistent with his frivolous and unrestrained attitude just now.
"Although I don't know what Ai Luo told you, I can only tell you that things are worse than you think." As he spoke, Lu Sai took out a chip, stuffed it into Jiang Bing's hand, and began to tidy up his appearance in front of the mirror.
"Since she chose to act on her own, I can only try my best to help her withstand the pressure from headquarters, but you still need to do the rest. I have compiled the specific information here."
"I can't leave the watcher's sight for too long. I wish you good luck." Lu Sai walked for a few words, but suddenly stopped, left a sentence "Protect Aurora's safety", and walked out.
His bodyguard was already waiting at the door. He put on the disguised mask again and walked towards the card table.
Even big people have their own difficulties.
But it was difficult for Jiang Bing to empathize with him.
When Jiang Bing saw Aurora again, she was filling her empty stomach at the dining table.
"How about it?"
"As you expected, your cousin is still on your side." Jiang Bing shrugged and handed over the data tablet that he had been holding.
"But things are a bit troublesome. Your close friend and patient did something big. It's mentioned in the chip. You can take a look."
Aurora's fingers froze as she flipped the screen. She sighed faintly, "I might have guessed it."
Chapter 314 The Beginning of the Melee
"Did she make this public?"
Jiang Bing shrugged. "If sending the relevant information to Arasaka, Military Science, Jianli, and the Trauma Team is what you call making it public, then yes, she did it."
"It seems you have known about this for a long time?"
"We planned this together." Aurora smiled bitterly.
"I'm very familiar with the methods of biotechnology. If Ailian falls into their hands, it will be tantamount to death."
"So you came up with this self-destruction plan?"
"Muddying the waters is our only way to survive."
"Even if it's a slim chance of survival?"
"Of course, we have no choice."
Aurora's words made sense. If you put yourself in their shoes, this plan is not a solution for two desperate women.
"But it's different for me." Jiang Bing leaned against the wall with his shoulders folded.
"Dealing with one company is not the same as dealing with so many companies at the same time."
"Not to mention, this is Night City, the territory of Arasaka and Militech. Going against Arasaka and Militech here would undoubtedly be a slap in their face."
“Some reputation is built with money, while some is built with mountains of corpses.”
Aurora's face was bitter, "So what do you want to do?"
Jiang Bing reached out and tapped the information about Elaine Eleanor on the data board, and his finger happened to touch a series of titles that read "Doctor of Genetics" and "Doctor of Virology".
"You have to pay more!"
…………
Elaine lay weakly in the life support cabin. Her face, which was originally as delicate as a Barbie doll, now looked very gloomy. Her thin body was filled with various instruments, some of which could save her life, while others were about to take her life.
Yesterday's "review" process almost cost her half her life, but this is the cruelty of fate. How much she longed to live in the first half of her life, after falling into the hands of biotechnology, she longed to die immediately.
But all this is beyond my control.
There is a component in this life support cabin specially prepared for her called the extracorporeal fluid circulation pump, and this circulation pump is working, injecting a small amount of anesthetic into her body all the time.
The dosage was calculated perfectly, taking into account her less-than-perfect condition while also achieving the desired effect of the biotechnology—paralyzing her flesh, making it difficult for her to move a finger, but not endangering her life, while continuing the research.
She was like a bear being drained of its bile while still alive, trapped under a transparent, high-strength glass cover.
"You know what, Test Subject No. 3 is actually quite good-looking."
A biotechnology researcher, holding a data tablet, sighed to his colleague who was replenishing various medicines into the life support cabin.
"No matter how beautiful it is, it's inevitable that you'll have to go to the operating table."
"It's such a waste for such a beautiful girl to become a corpse."
"What are you thinking? Given her condition, how could she still have a body? I imagine even her bone marrow will be sliced and displayed for research after the study."
The sound of footsteps coming from the corridor outside the door made the two of them stop chatting tacitly. The white-painted door was opened, and the head of the Biotechnology Business Department and her secretary entered the room for their daily inspection.
Elaine Eleanor is now an important asset of biotechnology and cannot be lost.
"Have the evacuation channels been arranged?" The strong woman in the business department walked so fast that her subordinates had to jog to keep up with her.
"Minister Emma, everything has been arranged. The officials in Night City are well-fed. Our goods will be shipped in multiple batches, and the border inspection station's approval has also been obtained. We're following Wilton Holt's lead."
"Are there any moves between Arasaka and Militech?"
"Intelligence reports that Arasaka and Militech are mobilizing a large number of agents. It seems Kang Tao has also sensed something and is sending out intelligence personnel in droves to investigate."
"Don't worry about Kang Tao. Even if they knew about this, given their style of doing things, they wouldn't be willing to get involved."
"Where are the reinforcements from headquarters?"
