Start in Night City

The servant panicked and hurried to the stand holding a tablet computer.

Diana felt a surge of anger rising in her heart.

Obviously he had made it very clear that he was not allowed to be disturbed during the meal.

This is simply not taking yourself seriously.

"A slave like a dog is worthy of..."

Before I could even say the next words, it was like rage...

Instantly extinguished.

Diana stared at the screen on the tablet in fear.

On the screen, Arif Iqbal, the host of WNS News, was reporting the details of the "Nightingale Project".

In particular, two companies named Biotechnology and Military Technology were used for experiments on more than 70 lives of a homeless family.

Totally unconscionable!

"What...what's going on? No, no, how did WNS News know about it? Is there a mole in Arasaka in biotechnology?"

Just like everyone knows, News 54 is the mouthpiece of military technology.

The supporter behind WNS News is Arasaka.

The relationship between Military Technology and Arasaka is unending and can be described as a feud.

From the Fourth Corporate War to the Unification War, both sides are on opposite sides.

The Fourth Corporate War ended with Arasaka withdrawing from Night City.

The War of Unification ended with Arasaka's strong return and support for the Free States to ensure their independence.

If there was anyone who wanted this secret to be exposed, it was Arasaka.

Diana was frightened out of her mind.

Now there is no longer any intention to laugh at the poor and fire the servants.

"Project Nightingale" is a research experiment led by her and Joanne.

Now that it has been reported by WNS News, there will definitely be accountability from the superiors.

"No, no, no, we can't sit still and wait for death. If Arasaka and WNS News are allowed to pour dirty water on us, then biotechnology will definitely be doomed."

Diana thought so.

Call Joanne quickly.

"Joanne, where are you now?"

"Of course I am in the Biotechnology Building. The building was invaded last night. An entire platoon of security robots was killed. A "Zeta Technology Surveyor" heavy armored aerial vehicle crashed and a big hole was blown into the building. "

"What?" Diana was stunned for a moment.

She didn't expect that there would be bad news.

But after all, he is the person in charge of leading a team, and his psychological quality is beyond ordinary people.

Diana quickly forced herself to calm down.

"OK, listen to me, put your stuff aside for now. Did you watch the WNS news this morning?"

"I've seen it... Don't worry, Diana. Even if WNS News gets our internal confidential information, the public relations team has already figured out a way to deal with it, so don't worry."

Diana's heart

Slightly relieved.

Joanne was brought out by herself.

Even if he is his own student, it is almost the same.

As expected of her, she had already thought of countermeasures so quickly.

But Jiang is still too old. Although Joanne immediately thought of contacting the public relations team, Diana felt that Joanne's methods were still a bit immature.

"If it's just like this, I'm afraid it's not enough. This time the matter is really too big. Joanne, in order to avoid pulling out the carrots and bringing out the mud, we have to find a way to get a few scapegoats out. Only in this way can we save the others."

"..."

The strange thing is that Joanne suddenly didn't respond.

Diana glanced at the communication channel strangely.

It was obvious that Joanne was not offline.

But why didn't she speak?

"Joanne, are you still there?"

After a while, Joanne's voice came from the other side.

I don’t know if it was Diana’s illusion.

She always felt that Joanne's tone was a little weird.

"You're right, Dr. Diana, without a scapegoat, our public relations efforts will pale in comparison."

Although there was something wrong with Joanne's tone.

But since Joanne agreed with her idea, Diana didn't think about it so much anymore.

"So do you have any suitable candidates? If you don't have one, can I give you some advice?"

"What do you think of the genetic engineer under your command, Emilia Morton? Hasn't she been rebelling against you? Why don't you kick her out of the team at this time?"

"But I'm afraid it won't be enough for her alone. Her position is too low to calm the noisy voices from the outside world."

"It would be great if there was someone with a high enough position who could take the blame."

Diana thought about it and racked her brains.

The names that come to mind are just ordinary members of the team.

I really can't think of a suitable scapegoat.

The "Nightingale Project" cannot be said to be top secret.

It not only involves the internal secrets of biotechnology, but when exposed, it will also greatly affect the relationship between biotechnology and military technology.

It may even cause a crisis of trust in military technology.

If you want to completely remove all responsibilities and not let this matter delay your career, you need someone with a high enough position, preferably the team leader, to take the blame and fill in the hole this time.

But there are only two people in the highest position, himself and Joanne.

It is impossible to sacrifice yourself, not in this life.

Then there’s only Joanne…

Diana's thoughts continued uncontrollably.

It would be perfect if Joanne took the blame.

First of all, everything in Nightingale's plan can be attributed to Joanne.

Secondly, it was Joanne's suggestion to use the homeless family named "Red Ocher" as experimental subjects.

Joanne seems to have great prejudice and hatred towards homeless people.

Putting the blame on her head is not an injustice to her.

Finally, if Joanne wants to defend herself or reveal something, there is no need to worry.

Just silence her and make it look like she committed suicide out of fear of crime.

It doesn't even matter if the cause of death is "suspicious" without any pretense.

A dead man cannot speak anyway.

Even if others may doubt it, it is just doubt at best.

The idea was perfect.

It's just perfect.

The only problem is that Joanne has to be sacrificed.

His only student.

Diana shook her head.

Use this as a backup plan.

If it reaches the point of no return, start this plan again.

Now... maybe there are other ways to survive this crisis without sacrificing the two of them.

Just when Diana was thinking wildly.

Joanne's next words left Diana stunned.

"I will always be grateful for your noble sacrifice, Dr. Diana Cuno. Working with you is one of my most cherished memories and I will never forget you."

Diana suddenly had a bad premonition: "Joanne, what do you mean? Wait, hello..."

Communications were unilaterally forcibly cut off.

Diana called again and was told that she had been blocked and could not access.

Chapter 110 Why is the Prime Minister laughing (3K)

Diana was dumbfounded.

She didn't expect that.

The idea that was still swirling in her mind just now, Joanne not only thought of it, but also acted on it.

What I didn't even expect was, how could Joanne do it?

She opened her bank account in disbelief and got the platinum membership package of the trauma group...

Sure enough, the bank account was closed directly.

The trauma team’s platinum membership package has also been cancelled.

Even the soft ambient lighting in the villa was switched to a dazzling red at this moment.

"Warning! Illegal intruder found! The security force of biotechnology has been contacted and the threat is expected to be eliminated within five minutes!"

“Invade your mom, this is my house!

mine! ! ! "

Diana raged impotently at the empty house.

But the servants who were working in the villa were not slow to react.

When the ambient light switched to red, I hurriedly left the villa without thinking.

Being a servant to a wealthy person is not something everyone can do.

It wasn't their first time as servants either.

When I saw this situation, I still didn't understand what was happening.

Don't even ask for this month's salary, just put oil on the soles of your feet immediately.

Run as fast as you want.

If you don't hurry up, run faster.

Once the biotechnology security forces arrive, they will be wiped out as well.

Diana cursed for more than ten seconds before reacting belatedly.

She didn't even have time to bring the extra things, so she went directly to the garage and got into the sports car.

——Fortunately, she bought this sports car with her own embezzled public funds and was not reimbursed directly from biotechnology public funds.

She kicked the accelerator and drove the sports car out of the villa.

Quickly came to the road outside.

Diana held the steering wheel with both hands and controlled the sports car towards Santo Domingo.
