Start in Night City

"Okay, then tell me something."

A look of confusion appeared on V's pretty face: "How did you know I had something to tell you?"

"Because I can read minds." Su Xiao said half-jokingly, "Okay, actually I was the one who fooled you, but from the look on your face, is this really something?"

V nodded, pulled up a chair opposite Lidya Su and sat down.

"When I was at Arasaka Academy, I offended someone in order to protect David."

"who?"

"Katsuo Tanaka, the only son of Tanaka, a senior executive in the R\u0026D department of Night City Arasaka Branch."

Afterwards, V told Lidya Su the whole story in detail.

"Well, you did the right thing."

"Don't you blame me for getting us into big trouble?"

"There's nothing to blame. If I were there, I wouldn't be able to help but teach him a lesson."

Although V's approach did cause trouble for Su Xiao and the others.

After that kid named Tanaka Katsuo went back to see his father, Su Xiao had no doubt that he would add insult to injury and tell his father what happened today.

As for Tanaka Katsuo's father, as a senior executive of Arasaka Company, his son was bullied, and he was bullied by someone close to a poor boy who had been fired...

He definitely couldn't swallow this breath.

Or it should be said that even if he felt that his son deserved to be beaten, he would not let it go.

Because if he doesn't react, how will others in the company view him?

So even if he doesn't have any emotional fluctuations, he will definitely react.

Although Tanaka is a senior member of the R\u0026D department, he is still Arasaka's leader.

It was only a matter of time before we tracked them down.

But, please note, here I have to say but

.

Su Xiao believes that V is a very measured person.

If there were other solutions at that time, he believed that V would not take action.

In other words, when V took action, it proved that there was no other choice in the situation at that time.

"I caused the trouble, and I will take responsibility to the end."

"Are you responsible? How can you be responsible?" Seeing V bit her lip and seemed to have something to say, Su Xiao waved her hand to stop her.

"I am your boss, you are my subordinates, and you work for me, so I also have the obligation to protect you. This trouble will be solved by me."

"What's more, if I leave it to my subordinates to deal with problems when they encounter them, then it would be too shameful for me to be the president."

Su Xiao thought carefully for a while: "Let's go and call Lucy, Panan, Mitch, and Scorpion over."

Soon, V found the few people Su Xiao wanted for him.

"Lucy, Panan, come with me, we have something to do."

Panan said in a joking tone: "Are you going to rob the company's transport fleet?"

"No, but that's about it." Su Xiao did not explain to Panan, but turned to look at the other two people, "Mitch, Scorpion, please contact Thor and ask him to send twenty more Adecados." Come here and look after this place for me. Five hundred euros per person, and I’ll give them two days of their time.”

"When they come, you take them to get their guns and stay on high alert for forty-eight hours."

Mickey and Scorpion looked at each other, and they both realized that something was wrong.

"What happened, boss?"

"I don't have time to explain to you now. You just do as I say. If everything goes well, then nothing will happen to us. Now, let's act."

Su Xiao had finished talking to this point, so Mitch and Scorpion stopped talking.

"Although I don't know what you are going to do, don't worry, boss. When you are away, Xie Zi and I will guard the house for you to ensure that there will be no accidents."

Su Xiao likes to hear what Mitch said, which is why he likes soldiers.

Although Scorpion didn't speak, he nodded heavily.

In fact, if their actions tonight go smoothly, they can eliminate all future troubles.

However, Su Xiao still wanted to be cautious and strengthen the defense of her home first to prevent her home from being robbed while she was away.

Chapter 271: It’s too late to explain, get in the car (3K)

An hour later, Delamain's taxi took them to an empty homeless gathering place under the viaduct on Japan Street near North Oak.

On the way here, V also told the other two people what happened.

Lucy naturally had no objections.

On the contrary, Panan, who usually seemed a bit nervous and had always opposed the company and was a homeless man, opened his eyes wide and said with a shocked expression.

"So, we are going to kill Arasaka's top brass? Are you all crazy?"

Su Xiao was happy.

"Don't tell me that you forgot about Herman so quickly. Didn't you also join us in pulling out the teeth from the jaws of military technology and snatching Herman away?"

Panan quickly waved his hands.

"No, this definitely can't be the same thing. We attacked the military technology group that escorted Herman outside the city, but now we are going to cause trouble in the city."

"Besides, isn't North Oak a wealthy area? Not to mention there are a lot of cops there. Are you sure that the home of an Arasaka senior executive doesn't have company security?"

"Not to mention if the alarm is triggered, I don't know how many Arasaka guys will come and kill me."

Of course Panam has no objection to having a company dog.

But going to North Oak to engage a corporate dog cannot be said to be cautious, at least it can be said to be reckless.

V also wanted to explain to Panan.

But Su Xiao stretched out her hand and stopped V.

He looked at Panan and smiled.

"Panan, are you afraid?"

Panan almost jumped up as if his tail was suddenly stepped on: "Huh? Me? How is that possible? I just..."

Although he was defending, Panan's eyes were obviously guilty and he avoided looking at Su Xiao.

Lidya Su smiled and did not expose her.

But he knew that Panan was not really afraid, but...

How should I say this?

If it was for Adecado, I believe that this little girl would rush forward without even frowning, even if she had to go up a mountain of swords and into a sea of ​​fire.

But what they are doing now has nothing to do with Adecado, so Panan can naturally calm down, think with his brain, and weigh the pros and cons.

Being able to use your brain is certainly not a bad thing.

Lidya Su smiled and said.

"Arasaka executives are also human beings. As long as our actions are quick and clean enough, no one will know that we did it. The death of Richard Knight is the most typical example."

Richard Knight, the founder of Night City and Night Company, was murdered on the balcony of his villa. It remains an unsolved case to this day.

It is very difficult to assassinate Arasaka's top brass, but the difficulty does not mean that it is impossible to complete.

Moreover, they have first-mover advantage.

It is estimated that Tanaka Katsuo's father never dreamed that before he could go to Su Xiao to settle accounts, Su Xiao would have already brought people to kill both his father and son.

Panan saw that there were a total of four people in the car, and three of them voted in favor. It was useless for her to vote against it.

she deflated.

"Well, you're the boss, you have the final say."

Although Panan had followed Su Xiao for the shortest time, and apart from participating in the operation to kidnap Herman, he had been guarding the Stone Ridge Mountain and had not followed him on any other missions.

But Su Xiao was generous and generous, leaving a very good impression on her, Mickey, and Xie Zi.

Such a generous and wealthy boss cannot be a lunatic.

Panan felt that even Su Xiao was not worried, and it was a bit redundant for him to put such unfounded worries.

Seeing that Panan finally agreed willingly, Su Xiao said to Lucy.

"Lucy, let's get started."

Lucy nodded.

She took out the drone control chip and inserted it into her neural socket.

A deep blue color suddenly appeared in her eyes.

Then, the trunk of the armored SUV opened, and a reconnaissance drone flew out of the trunk.

The optical camouflage on the fuselage was activated, and after the ripple-like psychedelic light flashed, the entire reconnaissance drone disappeared into the night sky.

While controlling the drone, Lucy also shared the picture seen by the drone with three other people, so that others could see the same picture as her.

Looking down at Night City from a high altitude, the city you see is completely different from the city you see on the road in Night City.

Looking down from a high altitude, all you see is a city that never sleeps with thousands of lights shining on it.

All stains such as sin and filth are covered up by the light and the darkness that cannot be reached by the light.

The same goes for North Oak.

Previously, Su Xiao thought that the villa areas in North Oak District were all separated, that is, there was a long distance between villas. Wouldn't this be as bright as the city center?

But after seeing the footage from the drone, Su Xiao realized that she had misunderstood.

Although the houses in North Oak District are far apart, the street lights on the winding mountain road in North Oak District are bright and dense, and there is no feeling of darkness at all.

The drone flew quietly for several minutes, and finally found a Japanese-style mansion in the villa area of ​​North Oak District, which was brightly lit below.

The mansion is built on the top of a flattened hillside, surrounded by many green plants that are higher than the mansion. There are a total of two roads leading to the mansion on the top of the hill.

Lucy said: "Found it, that's our target."

Su Xiao said: "Pull the drone's perspective closer and take a closer look."

Upon hearing this, Lucy kept zooming in on the drone's lens so that others could see clearly. On the holographic door plate above the entrance to the mansion's wall, the two Japanese characters "Tanaka" were clearly written.

Lidya Su nodded to confirm.

"Yes, that's it. Let's take a look at its security first."

Lucy operated the drone and began to carefully circle around the mansion to observe.

"There is a jammer installed in the house, so it is impossible to scan the situation inside the house. However, there are seven open posts and 13 hidden sentries around the house. There are also automatic turrets on the roofs on both sides of the house, and their firepower can cover Most places around the house.”

"In addition to the road that passes in front of the Japanese-style mansion, there is also a road behind the mansion. If they are in danger, they can escape from this road."

Lucy finished.

At this time Panan suddenly raised his hand and said.

"If you really want to do this, then I'll go here."

She marked a red circle on the screen and highlighted it. Others sharing the same screen could also see the location she highlighted.

"There is a hillside here. The terrain is higher than other places. From here, you should be able to observe the situation inside the mansion. As you know, I am a sniper. Good vision is very important for a sniper."

Su Xiao looked at it carefully and felt that Panan's proposal was very good.

The hillside Panan pointed out was higher than the top of the hillside where Tanaka's residence was located, and the distance between the two was only 500 meters.

For a sniper, there are not many factors to consider at five hundred meters, and accuracy and hit rate can be guaranteed.

If with luck, Tanaka and his son are exposed to Panan's vision, then the matter can be resolved faster and more smoothly.

Of course, even if they don't have such good luck, with Panan setting up a sniper rifle on this hillside, he can not only observe the situation in the mansion, but also provide them with fire support.

Finally, Su Xiao made a conclusion.

"First, set up a signal jammer outside the sight of the mansion's security. This should be able to block the mansion's automatic alarm system for at least three minutes."
