Chapter 257

But this is not a surprise.

In the subsequent salvage, Biotech did not find the body, so it was taken for granted that the person inside was alive.

"And as a giant in the pharmaceutical industry, who do you think Biotech has the greatest connection with in Night City?"

Of course, it is the hospital.

It is nonsense to say that Biotech can control all medical staff.

But it is undeniable that they do maintain a relatively good and close relationship with more than 80% of the hospitals.

- After all, whether it is daily drug procurement or wanting to get some kickbacks, it is inevitable to deal with Biotech.

With the cooperative relationship between each other, plus the huge bounty offered by Biotech, there are definitely a lot of people willing to provide Sasha information.

It can be said that as soon as Manyin was sent to the hospital, Biotech's pursuers would come.

He is just a powerless mercenary, so he can be sold.

There is no psychological burden at all.

This is the same whether it is Night City or not, after all, the company's tentacles have long been all over the world.

As for the medical conditions in some small clinics that Biotech cannot reach...Man Yin himself thinks it is terrible.

"By the way, I will give you an internal news of the company. Biotech has already set a preliminary bounty for Sasha: 1.5 million if alive, 1 million if dead."

"How many people in Night City do you think can resist such temptation?"

Hearing this, Man Yin and the other four felt their hearts skip a beat.

The original idea of ​​taking Sasha away was completely abandoned.

What is the concept of 1.5 million euros?

Let's put it this way, it only costs about 1,000 euros to find a gangster in Night City to kill an ordinary person, and sometimes it will be discounted depending on the situation.

The bounty offered by Biotech is enough for one person to die more than a thousand times.

Even at present, the safest place in Night City may be Lin Qiao's place.

At least the guy in front of him should not be short of money.

And the fact that the other party did not hand Sasha over to Biotech can already explain a lot of problems.

"But if that's the case, why did you save Sasha? What does Arasaka want to gain from it?"

After thinking about it, the only thing that can attract the other party is the confidential documents stolen from Biotech.

"No, I saved her just on a whim. You can think of it as a righteous act. After all, there is no one in Night City who is more loving than me."

"......"

"Do you think we will believe this?" Rebecca pouted her lips directly to one side.

And this is also the voice of Manyin and his group.

No one in the company is good-this is a fact recognized by everyone.

To put it in one sentence, the company would rather do something that harms others and does not benefit itself, and will never do good things that benefit others and itself.

And super companies like Arasaka do all kinds of bad things.

Really expect them to save people because of justice, then it is better to believe that Rebecca can grow taller!

Not to mention that saving Sasha is equivalent to offending Biotech...Will Arasaka really do such a good thing that harms others and benefits others?

Seeing that the others looked like they had "I don't believe you" written on their faces, Lin Qiao shook her head helplessly and gave up the idea of ​​arguing.

It was indeed not very convincing to say this in the big mansion where Arasaka lived.

In fact, because Lin Qiao was driving Fujioka Kaoru's car, this matter was inevitably associated with Arasaka's instructions behind the scenes by biotechnology...

But Fujioka Kaoru said, "My child was robbed when he drove out."

Although it sounds very deceptive, and it is actually deceptive, because Lin Qiao asked Lucy to hack the surrounding surveillance at that time, this statement is really credible.

Moreover, compared to Arasaka's mischief behind the scenes, the suspicion of military technology is even greater.

——Hundreds of bullets were fired, but people drove from the municipal center to Taipingzhou. What do you say about military technology?

And!

Explain to me why the location where the file was sent happened to be your News Channel 54! ?

And the next day you used these black materials to blackmail me, how can I believe you?

In this comparison, Arasaka is framed... and the means of framing are not very clever!

"By the way, who hired you to go to Biotech to make trouble?" Lin Qiao looked at Man Yin.

"Is this important?"

"No, I'm just curious. If you don't want to tell me, forget it."

"It's Faraday."

"Who is that?"

"The most famous middleman in Watson District, but he is closer to Military Technology, so the one who issued the commission this time should be Military Technology."

"..... It's really them."

Okay, it seems that Biotech really didn't find the wrong person this time.

But this straightforward and unpretentious villain face... Should it be said that he is worthy of inheriting the Amei orthodoxy?

In fact, even if Military Technology didn't instruct Man Yin, when they used the data sent to blackmail Biotech, this matter could only be done by them.

As an old rival of military technology, Arasaka has also received a joint invitation from biotechnology.

Arasaka is the only one who can suppress military technology in Night City.

And Arasaka's attitude towards this... is naturally to agree.

Just like the Soviet Union before Lin Qiao traveled through time.

For other countries in this world, only the split Amei is a good Amei - no one wants to see Military Technology and the new United States they support reunify the entire country.

However, these are all off-topic and have nothing to do with mercenaries like Manin.

And even if they want to cheat Military Technology, Sasha, the person involved, can't run away.

"Is there no other way to help Sasha?"

Pira, who has been silent since she came in, finally couldn't help but ask.

However, Lin Qiao's answer to this is also direct:

"Unless she can get corporate immunity, otherwise she will wait for the pursuit of biotechnology for the rest of her life."

Chapter 317 The only way

"Company immunity?"

The slightly unfamiliar words made the four people unable to react for a while.

"It's similar to diplomatic immunity, but it's between companies."

And this is also one of the manifestations of the company's strength exceeding that of the country.

At least the immunity of a large company like Arasaka is much more reliable than that of a national government.

Manin, Dolio, Rebecca and Pira nodded as if they understood.

Even though they didn't quite understand the specifics, one thing was clear - if Sasha had this, she would not only be able to save her life, but she wouldn't have to worry about being hunted down by biotechnology in the future. At least not on the surface. "Excuse me, can you get this immunity? It's okay if you have to pay for it." The four of them turned their attention to Lin Qiao again. Although this guy has always said that he has nothing to do with the company, he can live in the North Oak District, so he must be a high-ranking member of Arasaka. At least compared to them, Lin Qiao is the only one who can get this authority for Sasha. But before Dolio finished speaking, Lin Qiao raised a hand to stop her from continuing. "Don't think about it, this thing has nothing to do with money - of course, if you can take out billions at a time, then just ignore what I said." "..." Manin and Dolio looked regretful but expected. They were not surprised by this result. But in this way, the best result for Sasha is to escape from Night City after canceling all identity information and embark on the road of escape from then on. "Besides, I personally think you should worry about yourselves more than worrying about Sasha."

After all, Biotech couldn't find Sasha, so the next step was to find her teammates.

"Let's get straight to the point. What exactly do you want us to do?"

After a moment of silence, Manin took off his sunglasses and looked at Lin Qiao without giving in.

"Wow, is my purpose so obvious?" The corners of his mouth rose slightly.

Should I say that you are indeed a seasoned mercenary? You are very good at it.

"Then let's put it out there. I hope you can thoroughly prove that Military Technology has entrusted you to steal Biotech, and do it openly."

"Wouldn't that be the same as taking our lives?"

Rebecca snorted.

Having offended both Biotech and Military Technology in Night City, the days ahead might be a bit exciting!

"No, on the contrary, this is your only chance to save your life."

"Otherwise, do you think that if you do nothing, Military Technology will remember your kindness and save you?"

"....."

That's really impossible.

Rebecca grinned, crossed her arms and turned her head.

"So you mean... let's tie up the chariot of military technology? And then use them as a shield?"

"Almost, but I prefer to call it driving the tiger to swallow the wolf."

If it were a country, then no matter what Manin and his men did, they would eventually be on the wanted list of biotechnology.

But biotechnology is a company.

A company whose size exceeds that of a country... but it is still a company after all.

Since it is a company, it is natural that everything is based on profit, especially the combat effectiveness of biotechnology itself is not outstanding - at least compared with military technology and Arasaka, which are mainly engaged in arms and security.

Not to mention that Night City is not their home.

This also means that the cost of revenge is relatively high.

Therefore, once this cost exceeds a certain level, biotechnology will have to reconsider.

After all, the bulk of this matter is still on military technology, and it is really not worth wasting energy for some small roles.

Seeing that Man Yin and the others were interested, Lin Qiao continued to add:

"Anyway, wasn't the commission given to you by the man named Faraday? Find a way to drag him into the water, say that you are in the same group, and then throw him in front to take the blame."

"In this way, the first person that Biotechnology will look for is also the middleman, not you."

After all, mercenaries are, to put it bluntly, lackeys and tools.

To be more extreme, use the words of the Voodoo Gang, they are "foot cloths" that can be thrown away after use.
