Chapter 278: The aftermath of the robbery, Lai Xuan wakes up

(As usual, it is a 4,000-word chapter)

After escaping from Night City, Arturo and his friends found ways to get in touch with Ling Luxian and returned to Night City.

It turns out that they were not wanted at all, instead, Rearview Mirror's mother was arrested by the NCPD.

The NCPD is no pushover either. When they saw the car in the rearview mirror, they thought about investigating the ownership of the vehicle in order to find the suspect.

Ling Luxian had thought of this before NCPD, so he asked the old captain to transfer the ownership of the vehicle to the mother of the rearview mirror.

The old captain also learned from Ling Luxian about the evil ambitions of the rearview mirror's mother, so he put some thought into it and erased the rearview mirror and the information of previous owners.

The rearview mirror mom actually became the first owner of the car.

Things are not just that simple. The police will not arrest people based on just some vague evidence.

It was a coincidence that the mother of Rearview Mirror was a member of the Sixth Street Gang. Ling Luxian also happened to know the boss of the Sixth Street Gang, Will Cannon, and made a small request to Will Cannon.

So when the NCPD cops came to her door, Rearview Mirror's mother pleaded guilty, and she fulfilled her dream of becoming the most famous criminal in Night City.

After learning about his mother's situation, Rearview Mirror did not show any sadness, but rather felt relieved.

"What about us? Are we completely cleared of all charges?" Alberta asked anxiously. "But that doesn't make sense. Didn't Bobby betray us? Could it be that he has a change of heart?"

Ling Luxian shook his head and said, "After Bobby lay down, he has cleared himself of suspicion and he did not betray you afterwards.

As for the security guards and cops who saw your faces, I have cleansed their memories, so they would not recognize you even if you were standing in front of them."

"That saves a lot of trouble." Alberta's expression relaxed. This was what she was most worried about.

Arturo felt a little guilty. "It's all my fault. I didn't consider his own situation and rashly brought him trouble."

Ling Luxian smiled, patted Arturo on the shoulder, and said, "How do you feel after this perfect robbery?"

Arturo shook his head and said, "I hope there won't be a next time. I find that even if the plan is very careful, there are always things that can't be considered.

If we hadn’t been lucky this time, we would have either died or been caught by the NCPD.”

"Such is the daily life of a mercenary, Arturo. No plan is perfect. Once this is over, you should call it a day."

Arturo smiled bitterly, "I've had this plan for a long time."

"Yes." Ling Luxian nodded slightly, "Do you need me to take care of the stolen goods?"

"No, Alberta has his own channels."

"That's fine. Just don't forget to pay me back in the end." Ling Luxian waved his hand casually. Since Arturo didn't need his help, there was no need for him to try his best to please him.

"There is just one thing that is a bit troublesome."

Arturo scratched his hair. He had just rejected someone's kindness, but now he needed the other person's help.

It is inevitable that there is a sense of using people forward and not using them backward, which makes Arturo feel embarrassed.

"Say it, I'm all ears."

Ling Luxian knew that Arturo and the others were looking for him because they had other things to discuss.

If you want to know about your own situation, you can find out on TV and radio. There is no need to come to Ling Luxian.

Arturo didn't go to Ling Luxian to sell the stolen goods, which means he had other plans.

"this."

Arturo fumbled and pulled out a data chip from his pocket.

"This thing actually gave me the idea to rob a bank."

"What is that? What's inside it?" Ling Luxian asked, looking at the data chip in Arturo's hand.

He was very curious about what could make an honest Mewtwo repairman take such a bold action.

That was a bank robbery, not an ordinary crime. Even for mercenaries who often traveled on the road, most of them would not encounter such a heavyweight commission.

It can be said that after Arturo pulled off this job and is still alive, he has become a legend in Night City.

“This contains the dark material of DMS. They secretly give users psychological hints in their dreams, so that when they buy products, they subconsciously only buy DMS products.

You have great powers and many connections, so I want to consult you on how to deal with this thing next."

Ling Luxian had ate a big melon. He had never expected that DMS would actually give psychological hints to its customers. If this news was exposed, DMS would be in big trouble.

There's actually no need to consult Ling Luxian about this kind of thing. Just give it to WNS or News 54. They'll all be very interested in this news.

Not only is the news shocking enough, but there is another factor: DMS, as a veteran company in the entertainment industry, has a great overlap in business direction with News 54 and WNS.

As long as DMS is eliminated, it means that their own company will be able to gain more market share, which is something that both WNS and News 54 will welcome.

Since Arturo was able to tell Ling Luxian this news, it meant that Arturo trusted himself. Ling Luxian also gave Arturo relevant explanations.

"However, if you don't have any particular preference, you can leave this chip to me. I have an acquaintance at News Channel 54 who is absolutely reliable and will definitely report this matter."

Ling Luxian also had his own selfish motives. The first moment he heard the news, he thought of Nancy.

As Johnny's old friend and Ling Luxian's new friend, of course the first person they think of when there is any good news.

Although Nancy did a good job at News Channel 54, she was still not the mainstay or the host.

Part of the reason is that Nancy is old and not as pretty as she used to be, and as a host, she can’t hold up the show. Another part is that, apart from being a former member of the band Samurai, Nancy herself doesn’t have much of a gimmick.

People are forgotten when they leave. After Johnny Silverhand passed away, the Samurai Band disbanded and the group gradually lost their previous reputation.

Of course, Nancy is a journalist, so there is no need for her to compete with the host for the limelight. Most importantly, as a journalist, Nancy did not report any news that was too shocking.

From Nancy's solo dance of death, we can see that Nancy has an almost perverted obsession with first-hand information.

From this topic, we can see that Nancy does not have enough knowledge about the breaking news. It can only be said that she is a latecomer.

With such a big explosive melon, how could Ling Luxian not want to reveal it to her? It seems that someone as strong as Nancy also has the idea of improving herself.

"As long as it can be broadcast, I have no problem with other things."

Ling Lu connected the behavior chip and thanked Arturo.

"Thank you very much. I owe you a favor. If you have any problems in the future, just come to me. I will help you with what I can do, and if I can't do it, I will do my best to help you."

“You’re too polite.

After Arturo learned about the current situation, he left Ling Luxian's base.

No matter what you do under someone else's roof, it will feel awkward.

After Ling Luxian got the chip, he immediately went to News Channel 54, found Nancy, and handed the chip to him.

"This is big news, you must report it well! If you want to get promoted, you must seize this opportunity." Ling Luxian instructed.

"I understand."

Not long after Nancy and Ling Luxian met, Ling Luxian found a front-page headline for her, so it was not in vain that he recognized this friend.

A few days later, News Channel 54 broadcast this breaking news, which attracted widespread attention from all walks of life. Nancy also became a focus of the industry because of this report.

Welcome to News 54. I'm Julian Jordan.

[Daily News, this morning, the president of the largest super dream company, DMS, Mr. Charles Foster Lane announced his resignation. ]

[He decided to resign after an anonymous person disclosed his chip. The chip contained agreements between DMS and some large companies in Night City.]

[It has been officially confirmed that DMS charged fees and implanted subliminal advertisements in Mewtwo, so that users would only buy DMS products and products of its major customers.]

[After the announcement of Mewtwo, DMS's stock price plummeted by 50 percent, and Mewtwo's sales plummeted by 70 percent.]

Arturo smiled with relief when he saw the report.

It's not just because he took revenge on DMS, but also because he found the meaning of his life and he no longer wanted to die.

When the dust settled on the bank robbery, a major earthquake occurred in Arasaka.

The seriously injured first heir of Arasaka, Arasaka Yorinobu, has awakened.

"Uncle, are you awake?"

As per her habit these days, Michiko Arasaka entered Arasaka Yorinobu's room to check on him, and found that Arasaka Yorinobu was awake and had opened his eyes.

Michiko's tone was full of joy. Not only because of Arasaka Yorinobu's improvement, but also because of other reasons. These days, Arasaka Michiko had had enough of the harassment from her uncles.

These parasites who were just doing nothing came out to cause trouble not long after Saburo Arasaka died.

Michiko Arasaka could see that these uncles were just pawns pushed forward by the people behind the scenes in order to confirm the ownership of the Arasaka family.

However, Arasaka Michiko is just a junior. Even when Arasaka Yorinobu was not awake, Arasaka Hanako had absolute power over the Arasaka family when she was drifting on the sea. When facing these uncles, she still couldn't do what she wanted.

Now that Arasaka Yorinobu has woken up, it is time for Arasaka Yorinobu to take care of these heavy responsibilities.

"Hmm~ It's little Michiko."

Arasaka Yorinobu looked at the punk "girl" in front of him, feeling both close and a little strange.

On the first day Arasaka Yorinobu arrived in Night City, he moved into the Blue Sky Building. Before he had the chance to meet the actual controller of Arasaka Tower in Night City, he was defeated by Ling Luxian.

After waking up, I was at a loss when I saw my long-lost relatives.

No, what the hell is this?!

What happened to the well-behaved, sensible, and capable woman in her professional attire? How did she become this Shamatte? Even if Michiko Arasaka had the cute style of the previous two-dimensional world, she would be much more pleasing to the eye than now.

Night City became a source of worry for old man Saburo, and he never came to Night City again after fifty years. Arasaka Michiko was just letting herself go.

Seeing Arasaka Michiko in front of him, Arasaka Yorinobu moved his lips a few times, but ultimately did not speak.

"Uncle, please say something."

Michiko Arasaka looked at Arasaka Yorinobu who was staring at her blankly, and she felt a little panicked.

Could it be that the brain is damaged and he has Alzheimer's disease?

Michiko took out her hand and waved it in front of Arasaka Yorinobu, trying to provoke a reaction from him.

Arasaka Yorinobu looked at her speechlessly, "Michiko, I always feel like you're thinking of something rude."

"Ahem, no." Michiko Arasaka flatly denied it.

"I just woke up and I'm still a little dazed." Arasaka Yorinobu explained helplessly.

Arasaka Michiko finally breathed a sigh of relief, stepped forward, grabbed Arasaka Yorinobu's arm and said, "Second Uncle, you're finally awake. From now on, the family depends on you!"

Arasaka Yorinobu smiled bitterly in his heart, thinking that the Arasaka family would eventually be destroyed and Michiko's expectations would probably be dashed.

But he still nodded, looking at Michiko firmly, as if telling her that he would definitely make the Arasaka family great again. In fact, only he knew what he was thinking.

"Michiko, you're dressed too..."

"Too unique!" Arasaka Yorinobu didn't have the heart to use a harsh tone, but still couldn't help but complain, "You are the eldest daughter of the Arasaka family, representing the image of the family. Dressing like this is really indecent."

Arasaka Yorinobu does not have a good impression of his elder brother Arasaka Kei, and thinks that he is the spiritual successor of Arasaka Saburo and a corrupt existence.

Arasaka Kei didn't have a good impression of his rebellious brother, Rai Xuan. Fortunately, Arasaka Kei died early, otherwise he would have seen the Arasaka family brothers Ni Qiang.

Even Arasaka Kei has already taken action, ordering his subordinates to use soul killers to execute Arasaka Yorinobu. However, that was just a substitute for Arasaka Yorinobu.

In this game, Arasaka Yorinobu won. However, he knew that it was not a wise choice for him to fight against Arasaka Kei at such a young age.

Fortunately, thank God, some unknown angel sister took Arasaka Kei away.

Arasaka Yorinobu hates Arasaka Keiki and Arasaka Keiki hates him, but he is still nice to Michiko.

I didn't expect that Michiko Arasaka is still playing punk at such an old age. She stopped playing sophisticated music and started playing dirty music.

Arasaka Yorinobu shook his head helplessly, thinking that his niece was really unique. He decided to change the subject for the time being, so he asked, "How is the family doing now?"

"Everything is fine at the moment." Arasaka Michiko replied, "It's just that the old guys on the board of directors are constantly putting pressure on me. Fortunately, you woke up in time, second uncle."

Arasaka Yorinobu patted Arasaka Michiko on the shoulder and comforted her: "Don't worry, take your time, I will help you deal with these insects."

As he spoke, a cold look flashed in Arasaka Yorinobu's eyes.
