Chapter 121 Playing with Fire

Watson District.

Little Chinatown, high-end apartments.

Early in the morning, Sasha got up early, changed her clothes, washed herself, then walked to the dining area and put on her apron, and started her day as an assistant.

She started the smart home system first.

The curtains in the entire apartment slowly opened automatically, the windows automatically raised for ventilation, and the morning light illuminated the entire living room through the floor-to-ceiling windows.

The smart voice starts to broadcast weather and traffic information, and the TV broadcasts morning news.

Sasha boiled a pot of hot water, let it warm, and then started preparing two breakfasts for today.

After living together for a period of time, she had basically figured out Tang Yu's routine.

When I don’t go to work on weekdays, I go to bed later and don’t get up until 0:00.

Get up, wash up, and catch up on some news while enjoying breakfast.

After breakfast, Tang Yu would come to the balcony to rest for a while. In addition to basking in the sun, he would occasionally play the guitar, chat with Sasha, and do some more relaxing things.

After the leisure time in the morning is over, Tang Yu will start to handle some company affairs remotely.

If he is not too busy, he sometimes goes out in the afternoon to practice marksmanship at the Wilson Shooting Gallery. This is a necessary training for him to maintain his gun sense.

At night, I usually just go out for a night run. After the run, I go home, shower, clean up, and get ready to rest.

In fact, Sasha was not worried about Tang Yu going out for a night run alone, but every time Tang Yu went out, he had no intention of taking her with him.

So Sasha could only keep her thoughts in her heart and watch Tang Yu go out and come back after the exercise.

She actually wanted to go out with Tang Yu to practice shooting and run, but she often ended up staying at home alone, looking forward to it.

But Sasha is not idle at home. In addition to being Tang Yu's life assistant, he also learns a lot of new knowledge, such as learning a few dishes and browsing some weird and new content on the Internet.

After being with Tang Yu for so long, she found that she was in maid mode 90% of the time.

The combat mode has only been enabled once, and other modes still have zero points.

This made Sasha feel a little distressed, after all, each different mode was a new experience for her.

She herself is also curious about what intimacy mode feels like. Although she knows what the content is, it is definitely very different from the actual experience.

so.

What she looks forward to most every day is to stay with Tang Yu, listen to him playing the piano and humming music, and listening to him tell novel stories.

These things will bring her a sense of pleasure and happiness. This feeling is very wonderful, and it is indeed consistent with the description of the term, but it is completely impossible to express it in words without personal experience.

For example, Sasha's favorite stories include green snakes, fairy swords, etc. She doesn't quite understand many things in these stories, but she can still feel the emotions in the stories and empathize with the characters' experiences.

Over time, she seemed to be able to perceive more wonderful things than before, far beyond what her knowledge and skills could match.

After Sasha gets up early, he will prepare everything before waking up Tang Yu.

It's just that Tang Yu's bedroom door is always locked, so Sasha has no choice but to knock on the door gently.

Boom, boom, boom.

"Mr. Tang, it's already time to get up early."

at this time.

The bedroom door will automatically unlock and open, and Tang Yu has already changed his clothes. When he goes out, he will smile and touch the cat's head, and then start his day of working from home.

Sasha wanted to poke her head to take a look at the scene in the bedroom, but before she could take a general look, the door closed and locked automatically.

This made Sasha a little disappointed.

She then followed Tang Yu, walked to the dining table, sat down, and started enjoying breakfast together, while Tang Yu would process some news at the same time.

[Counterintelligence Arthur Jenkins: Don, how is everything in the department? I am on a business trip and it will probably take some time before I can return to the company. Please remember to pay attention to the trends in the ministry at all times, especially the new deputy minister Kate. 】

Tang Yu replied: "I will pay attention."

[Military Technology Meredith Stout: "Are you free for a drink recently? Just you and me, private, how about it?"]

[Delaman: Mr. Tang, Delamain Service has specially customized a travel service package for you, including the following.]

[Jack Wills: Hey, man, do you know what's going on? Misty actually agreed to go on a date with me. Please help me figure out what to do on a date. Should I go to a movie, play Mewtwo, or go to a bar for a couple of drinks? Please tell me what you think. I'm really worried. 】

Tang Yu replied: "I have booked a hotel room for you in the Cangbi Building, a couple's suite. Just tell me your name."

[Victor Victor: Don, how have you been lately? Is that girl okay last time? He is a good kid, cherish him. 】

Reply: "Lao Wei, everything is fine here, and Sasha is fine too. I'll come see you when I have time."

[Panam Palmer: Don, how are you after you go back? I brought your gift back to the tribe. Sol was a little unhappy. He was always worried about this and that, but at least he agreed to accept it. By the way, Mitch was so happy that he asked me to say hello and thank you. In addition, Cassidy expressed disbelief when he learned about your sharpshooter deeds. He hopes that you will come to the Adecado family next time and show him who the real sharpshooter is. 】

Tang Yu replied: "No problem. Also, didn't Mickey ever think of giving me a gift in return? For example, that 'Watch'. Smile (expression)"

Tang Yu finished processing today's news one by one, and had almost eaten breakfast. After washing and tidying up, he took a warm bottle and went to the balcony to bask in the morning sun.

Tang Yu sat back on a soft chair and took a sip of warm tea. Although he lived a bit like a retired old man, he felt that his life was much more comfortable.

Even if he is too nervous, he must learn to relax himself. He is used to a relaxed and relaxed life.

It has been almost a week since he last completed a commission from Badlands, and he has been working from home these days.

With Sasha taking care of her at home, it was a relaxing time.

Sasha quickly came over, moved a soft chair, sat next to Tang Yu, and then looked at him intently without saying a word.

Tang Yu naturally knew what she was thinking, and it was time to raise a cat again, so he asked with a smile: "Do you want to listen to stories or songs today?"

Sasha thought for a while, seemed a little hesitant, and finally said with a smile: "Sasha wants to hear it!"

Tang Yu saw that Sasha was still as well-behaved as ever, and couldn't help but think of all the things that happened in the bad land that day.

actually.

He had already noticed the abnormal expressions of Mann and others. It was obvious that Mann and others showed extremely surprised expressions after seeing Sasha.

Especially Rebecca, whose big eyes stared straight at Sasha and never left her eyes. There must be something wrong with this.

later.

They returned to Night City from the Bad Land, and Sasha took the initiative to tell Tang Yu what he knew.

It turned out that after Sasha killed the Kang Tao robot, Rebecca recognized Sasha and ran over to ask Sasha if he still remembered her.

Sasha seemed to have only a vague sense of familiarity with Rebecca, but she really didn't know her and had no impression of her at all.

The only thing she knew was that Naoren felt like she had been hit hard and it hurt a lot.

Tang Yu is completely certain that Sasha's past is inseparable from the Mann team.

When he and Lao Wei examined Sasha, they found that Sasha's native consciousness had fallen into a deep sleep and her body had suffered severe injuries.

If Sasha had joined Mann's team before and worked as a team hacker, he was unfortunately seriously injured and on the verge of death while performing a certain mission. Finally, he was targeted by Arasaka Company and transformed into what he is today.

Then the mystery of Sasha's life experience makes sense. She is a cyberpunk hacker girl from the streets, and she has met Mann and others, and even worked as a team.

Tang Yu also knew the doubts in Mann's and others' minds, and wanted to find out why Sasha suddenly appeared as a company assistant.

In the tribe at that time, Tang Yu chose to downplay the matter and did not give Mann and others a chance to verify it.

Tang Yu has his own considerations.

Because the current Sasha is no longer the Sasha that Mann and the others knew back then. Even if everything is explained in front of her, Sasha cannot understand and agree with it.

the most important is.

Sasha has long been accustomed to a world where only Tang Yu exists. Suddenly a bunch of strangers appear and excitedly tell Sasha that her past will only make her feel scared.

In addition, the pseudo-dead brain in Sasha's body can no longer be severely stimulated.

If the original consciousness really cannot be suppressed and wakes up, then the only thing waiting for Sasha is true brain death.

so.

Tang Yu also suppressed the doubts in his heart. Everything would have to be discussed after he came back. By the way, Mann and others could calm down for a few days.

Gloria had already conveyed Mann's invitation to him and wanted to meet him alone.

Tang Yu naturally would not refuse, and what he was looking forward to was this meeting with Mann.

Take back your thoughts.

Tang Yu touched Sasha's head, then picked up a guitar and played and sang gently.

Sasha gradually became fascinated.

Leisure time is always short-lived. Tang Yu was just about to put away his musical instrument when he received a phone communication request.

Gloria?

Tang Yu has not taken the initiative to contact her during this period. Since he sent her the information about Joanne Kochi, he has not cared about the follow-up situation.

When Sasha saw that Tang Yu was on the phone with something, she obediently helped him pick up the instrument and turned back to the room.

Communication is connected.

Gloria said hello first and then got straight to the point.

"Mr. Tang, the Red Ocher Tribe's commission has been completed, but it was just to kidnap Joanne Kochi and hand it over to the tribe."

After hearing the news, Tang Yu felt somewhat appreciative of her arrangement. This was a smart move.

Just looking for an opportunity to kidnap company executives and hand them over to the Red Ocher Tribe is much lower risk than assassination.

As the director of biotechnology, Joanne Kochi must be the company's key protection target, a platinum member of the trauma team, and a key figure of NCPD.

If he really died at the hands of Mann and others, there would be too many troubles to deal with.

Tang Yu said calmly: "Well, you did a good job."

Gloria was relieved after getting Tang Yu's approval, and gave a rough explanation of the entire mission action process to Tang Yu.

Based on Joanne Couch's intelligence, they began to spy on her movements and found her hiding in the Biotech Hotel.

From corporate offices to personal life, Joanne Kochi conducts everything under the tight security of the hotel.

First, Qiwei was responsible for invading the hotel's electronic system, causing a brief power failure, blocking related monitoring, and causing a certain amount of chaos.

Then, Lucy took advantage of the chaos and sneaked into the security room. After getting rid of the security, she entered the hotel management terminal and started with the weakly defended smart air-conditioning system, destroying the air-conditioning facility in the room where Joanne Kochi was.

Dolio and Pila pretended to be air-conditioning repairmen, and after wearing relevant documents, entered the elevator through the main door and arrived at the 19th floor where Joanne Kochi lived.

While Joanne Koch was still watching and experiencing Mewtwo, she was knocked unconscious and inserted into a signal blocking chip.

Dolio carried the target person on his back and reached the rooftop again. Mann and Rebecca had already prepared the float vehicle.

After receiving the target person, Lucy in the security room immediately deleted all cached data, and then implanted a virus to destroy the memory.

After getting it done, Lucy also successfully evacuated from the Biotechnology Hotel.

Although there were some twists and turns in the middle, fortunately the whole operation was fast enough.

After Joanne Kochi's biosignal was blocked, it immediately alerted the Kangtao robot guards and hotel security.

The entire building's security forces quickly rushed to the 19th floor, only to find that Joanne Coach had disappeared mysteriously.

The entire operation went very smoothly. Joanne Kochi has been secretly taken away by Mann and is ready to be handed over to the Red Ocher Tribe.

Tang Yu believes that the division of labor of Mann's team this time is reasonable. Compared with the previous hard-fought battles, this kind of work can better bring out the characteristics of their team.

Careful planning, tight organization, mutual cooperation, completing the task at the minimum cost, and obtaining the highest reward are all in line with the way of survival of Night City mercenaries.

After this commission is completed, Mann's team should be able to make a steady profit without having to spend the money on ammunition, weapons and vehicles like last time.

After Gloria explained the basic situation of the mission, it seemed that there was still something important she wanted to report.

Tang Yu did not hang up the phone and motioned for her to continue talking.

Gloria thought carefully and then said: "In addition to kidnapping Joanne Koch, Mann and the others also tried to hack into her ICE to find something from the brain consciousness data."

After capturing Joanne Koch, they also conducted a deep dive?

Tang Yu suddenly realized something and looked back at Sasha in the room.

Gloria quickly added: "They did dig something out of Joanne Couch's brain, about cooperation in biotechnology and military technology, and even about Sasha."

"Mann said he wanted to talk to you in person, saying that Sasha was related to the explosion in the biotechnology building two years ago."

Already involved in military technology?

Tang Yu believes that this matter involves more than imagined, including biotechnology, Kang Tao, military technology, and bad earth forces.

The conspiracy that these companies have joined together may not be simple.

We can no longer let Mann and others play with fire. This matter must end here.

Tang Yu said in a deep voice: "I know about this. Regarding biotechnology, everything ends here. Don't have anything to do with the Red Ocher Tribe anymore. Remember, you don't owe them anything."

When Gloria heard Tang Yu's reminder, she felt inexplicably nervous. The little joy that she had just completed the commission and received Tang Yu's approval quickly disappeared without a trace.

She also seemed to realize that this matter was indeed too involved and was no longer a situation that she or Mann could control, so she replied seriously: "I understand, this matter ends here."

Tang Yu still felt uneasy and asked again: "Is Joanne Kochi still in Mann's hands?"

Gloria quickly replied: "It's still in the hands of Mann and the others, waiting for the people from the Red Ocher Tribe to pick it up."

Tang Yu replied directly: "Leave the person behind and tell the Red Ocher tribe that the person is dead. I have another use."

Gloria immediately realized that if the living Joanne Coach was handed over to Red Ocher, everyone would be exposed if something unexpected happened.

She immediately agreed and was ready to tell Mann to retain someone immediately.

Hang up the call.

Tang Yu felt that the time was ripe to meet Mann.

Suddenly Sasha trotted over and reminded: "Mr. Tang, WNS news station reported that biotechnology executive Joanne Koch is missing."

Sasha knew the identity of Joanne Kochi, the culprit who brought harm to the Red Ocher Tribe, so she stepped forward to inform her.

Tang Yu nodded slightly and said, "Well, evil people will be punished."

He didn't want Sasha to know what happened next, so he just touched on it and didn't talk about it in depth.

Sasha knew it and didn't ask any more questions. She knew that Tang Yu must have other plans if he didn't talk about it.

Tang Yu closed his eyes again and tried to think about the loopholes in the whole thing.

Gloria and Mann's team's plan was perfect, and Joanne Kochi was successfully robbed and is now in control.

He pulled up the communication list, found the contact information of Harry, the leader of the Investigation Section of the Counterintelligence Department, and made a call.

Harry suddenly received a call from Tang Yu and was a little panicked. After answering the call, he asked cautiously: "Mr. Tang, do you have any plans?"

Tang Yu said bluntly: "Immediately arrange for the Ministry's agents lurking in the biotechnology company to investigate the reasons for the disappearance of the biotechnology director Dr. Joanne Kochi, as well as the latest trends of the biotechnology company."

"In addition, there was an explosion in the biotechnology company building two years ago. Find out what happened and report the situation immediately."

After Harry received the order, he immediately started to connect with the agents.

Tang Yu sent another message to Mann, asking him where he was holding Joanne Kochi, and to meet him immediately.

Mann quickly sent over the address. They were located in an old apartment on the east side of Cherry Blossom Street in Westbrook.

Tang Yu got up and tidied up for a while before getting ready to go out for the appointment.

He had to see with his own eyes that Joanne Couch was still there, and he couldn't let her make the slightest mistake.

Seeing that Tang Yu was about to go out, Sasha came over with a windbreaker and put it on his shoulders.

"Sasha saw that it was raining lightly outside, so it might be a little cold."

Tang Yu looked at Sasha's well-behaved appearance and knew that she also wanted to go out, but this trip was to see Mann and it was not convenient to take her with him.

He just raised his hand and touched her head, and said softly: "Wait for me at home."

Sasha nodded and said he would wait at home.

Tang Yu put on his coat and got up and went out, called a Dramman and rushed to his destination.
