Chapter 285 V's personal commission, Jack Wells! It would be a mistake to really die. Li You knew that his cooperative relationship with V had just been established and could not withstand the test. The communication was connected, and V's face appeared on the screen. I have to admit that this perspective was also new to Li You. But V didn't give him face, and said bluntly: "You, come out tonight." "...I remember what we said last time, we should be in a cooperative relationship, right? I'm not your subordinate. And what's yours, I have a name...wait." Li You then realized something: "...I don't think I've ever introduced myself?" V sneered, pinched his nose and said: "No need! You are a big celebrity in Night City. Everyone knows the name Li You from Sakura Market to Twisting Street!" "I am your number one fan, why do I need you to introduce yourself in person?" Li You made her laugh: "So that's the case, then in that case, I will sign your prosthesis next time we meet, this is a special service for fans!"
V was the first to lose his temper, and fiercely made an international friendly gesture to Li You: "Fuck you!" "...Let's get down to business! Meet at the Ritz Bar at 8 o'clock tonight, don't be late." V said and hung up the call. Li You looked at the time. It was already past six o'clock. It seemed that there was no time to give up. "Let's go. Let's go find something to eat." At 7:50, Li You parked the car in front of the Ritz Bar. He was also familiar with this place. He had been here many times in the main storyline of the game. The doorman of the Ritz Bar was a young lady from the Mox Gang, Rita Wheeler. She had a pink and purple bun, was dressed very boldly, and carried a baseball bat on her shoulder. She greeted Li You: "Would you like to come and cool down, handsome brother?" Li You: If I didn't know that you were talking about the 18+ Mewtwo, I might have thought it was something inappropriate for children. He smiled politely and said, "I'm here to see my friends. They're waiting for me." "Really?" Miss Rita was slightly stunned. "That's fine. Go in. If you want to order something, you can choose inside." "Thank you." "You're quite polite!" Rita smiled and made way. Leaving Yuzu and Edge in the car, Li You went into the Ritz Bar alone. The Ritz Bar is the property of the Mox Gang and their base. Compared with other gangs in Night City, the Mox Gang is very small and will not fight with people all day long. They mainly maintain the operation of the gang through basically legal businesses. For example, the Ritz Bar is most famous for their Mewtwo experience. Thanks to the familiar Mewtwo editor Judy Alvarez, the business here is quite hot. Entering the bar hall, the most eye-catching thing is the three large Mewtwo consoles hanging from the ceiling in the center. The sofas below are full of customers wearing Mewtwo equipment, while there are not so many customers in the surrounding booths and boxes. This also shows the characteristics of the Ritz bar.
Of course, Li You did not come to see Mewtwo. He followed the message sent by V, walked through the bar hall, and found the corresponding room in the box area at the back - next to the box where Evelyn Parker met V in the main mission. As soon as he opened the door, Li You saw V in casual clothes, sitting on the sofa opposite. But besides her, there was another person sitting in the box. He had such strong muscles that the heavy black jacket could not cover it, revealing the vest of the Valentino gang underneath. He was wearing many golden ornaments, rings, bracelets, and necklaces. Although he had a funny bun, his momentum could make people ignore this little discord and focus on his difficulty to mess with him - at least that was the first impression. He sat there carelessly, with his hands on the shoulders of the sofa, looking unruly. Li You naturally knew who he was, Jack Wells, from Heywood, Night City, V's good brother and good partner. "You are here. Sit down." V nodded to Li You, and Jack did not speak, just looked at him. "What's the matter this time?" Li You sat down opposite Jack and turned his head to look at V. Today she was wearing a waisted western shirt and motorcycle pants. Although it was casual, it showed off her figure. V picked up the wine glass on the table in front of her and took a sip. Just as she was about to speak, Jack on the side suddenly said, "Hey, V, what's going on? A new friend came, why don't you introduce him to me?" V smiled after hearing this: "Well, it's time to introduce him." "This is my friend, Jack." Jack changed his sitting position, leaned forward, and intentionally or unintentionally revealed the muscles under his jacket. He looked at Li You: "Jack Wells, from Heywood. Who are you?" Li You noticed something from the actions and tone of the two people, and reacted after a little thought. V might have arranged Jack to come out to suppress his arrogance or something? Thinking of this, although he felt amused in his heart, he remained calm and answered, "My name is Li You, and I live in Japan Street." "Li You? I've never heard of this name... huh?" Jack was halfway through his words when he suddenly froze, "Are you the guy who was recently called 'Hunter'?" "So you've heard of me." Li You laughed. "...Jack?" V looked at him. Jack said in surprise: "Hey, V, you didn't tell me that you knew this guy." "He is a mercenary who has only recently appeared in Night City, less than a month ago, but he is a ruthless character. At this time, when others were still accepting requests to change diapers for old ladies, he had already gone with other veterans. I did it with Arasaka!” Jack said, stood up and extended his hand to Li You: "Nice to meet you, buddy! I was in my mother's bar, but I heard others talk about you more than once. Unfortunately, they all said that you are not active in Heywood, no People have really seen you.” Li You smiled and bumped fists with him, and said, "It's mainly because I have no connections and I don't want to come rashly." "That's easy to say! Do you know about the Wild Wolf Bar? It's opened by my mother. When are you free, call me and I'll buy you a drink!" "Okay, it's settled." "Ha ha!" Seeing the two of them chatting so happily, V finally couldn't help it anymore and coughed twice: "...cough cough!" Jack then came back to his senses: "Ah, V, I'm sorry, I'm here to talk about you today. But you, too, don't tell me anything. How can I prepare for this brother?"
"If I had known earlier, I would have brought a bottle of good wine." V had a dark face and didn't say anything. Unexpectedly, Jack didn't give up after sitting back and muttered to himself: "But that's wrong, V, how did you meet Li You? Didn't you just come back to Night City?" ” Li You glanced at V with a smile, and V glared over with sharp eyes. So Li You immediately understood that she probably never told Jack that she had suffered losses at her hands. He thought for a moment and then said: "Ahem, this is not important. Anyway, V and I hit it off and we have a very good relationship. You and V are good friends, and V and I are also good brothers. So if you think about it, we are brothers!" Although Li You also wanted to I wanted to expose V and see her reaction, but judging from her expression, if she really did this, she would probably go crazy, so she suppressed her desire to die. But instead, he seized this opportunity and climbed directly along the pole, suddenly turning himself into V's "best friend". Jack looked at V with surprise, and V weighed it for a moment, but still didn't have the nerve to expose it, so he could only grit his teeth and nod. "...I understand, V, you just wanted to give me a little surprise, so you didn't tell me anything, right?" Jack suddenly realized, "You are indeed my good brother!" The corners of V's mouth and eyes could not help but twitch, but the words had already reached this point, and she could only admit: "Yes, yes, haha." "Ta." With a soft sound, Li You picked up the wine bottle on the table very unceremoniously, poured wine into V, and said with concern: "You look bad, V. Did you have a bad rest in the company apartment? How about we go to the square downstairs of your house to exercise someday?" Seeing the faint smile on Li You's lips, V almost didn't take action on the spot. "...No need! Let's get down to business!" She finally controlled her emotions and brought the topic back on track through gritted teeth. Jack said from the side: "It seems that you two have a really good relationship." V had already calmed down, but when he heard these words, he almost crushed the wine glass in his hand. ——After a long while, they finally returned to the topic. V first told Li You: "The chip you gave me last time was indeed true, and my mission has been completed." She spoke vaguely, but Li You naturally understood, so he said, "That's good. What, is there any accident?" "Yes." V was also very direct. "We analyzed the virus program in the chip and found that it is a kind of malware that can lurk and collect information." "After investigation by the Arasaka hacker team, the corresponding data was finally found in Jenkins' personal computer. Unfortunately, the program had already collected enough information and sent the data package back to the intended recipient address, and then automatically Destroyed." Li You naturally knew what the virus program in that chip was used for. In fact, he had already guessed that the last commission was probably because Military Technology hired Faraday and asked them to install virus software on Jenkins' computer in order to steal intelligence. The software was successfully installed at that time, and Lucy helped to cover it up in order to achieve her own purpose. When Jenkins checked it himself afterwards, he found nothing wrong. Later, although Li You reached a deal with V and provided the backup chip made by Sasha and others, it was definitely too late. Military Technology had already acquired all the data they wanted. "So, your counter-intelligence department is in trouble now?" Although Jack couldn't understand what the program or the chip was talking about, he still understood the general cause and effect. In short, V was in trouble. "That's right." V nodded, "There is a commotion in the Counterintelligence Department now. Spyware has been installed on Jenkins' personal computer, which may have leaked company secrets. People in the department are panicking." "At this juncture, Jenkins had to do something to save the situation, and it was difficult for me to withdraw to protect myself. I could only advance and retreat with Jenkins, because I was originally promoted by him." Li You naturally understood the situation, and then asked: "In that case, what are you going to do if you call us over? I don't think Jack and I can help you with the company's troubles."
Seeing that Jack was also somewhat puzzled, V sighed and said, "That's not the case. In order to redeem himself and find someone to take the blame, Jenkins launched a severe crackdown within the Counterintelligence Department, saying that the leak was caused by espionage activities within the department, which led to such a serious situation." "He used this as an excuse to clean up those who disobeyed him in the department, taking them all away and rectifying them as 'suspected' spies. "Now, the Counterintelligence Department is in chaos. Not to mention those who oppose Jenkins, even his own people are fighting each other, trying to take advantage of this opportunity to get rid of their competitors. " Li You understood everything now. Jenkins, as the head of the counterintelligence department, had such a serious leak. If he could not give an explanation, he might be fired. Besides, the ambitious successors in the counterintelligence department were all eyeing his position. Faced with this situation, Jenkins chose one of the most brutal but also the most effective methods - internal cleansing. Under the name of "investigating internal spies", they actually eliminated dissidents on a large scale. In this way, the threats within the department were eliminated and a reasonable explanation was given. As for what you said, the problem of intelligence leakage has not actually been solved? For Jenkins, as long as he holds the position firmly, these problems can always be made up. "Oh my God." Jack cursed in Spanish, "This old guy is really ruthless. " Li You also agreed with Jack's evaluation. Acting decisively, ruthlessly, always choosing the most efficient way to do things, and not caring about anything else, this is Jenkins' character. In the opening plot of Company V, in order to cover the end of the Frankfurt incident, he directly had a lot of ESA members' brains burned. In comparison, internal cleansing to maintain his position is really nothing. V did not continue to talk about Jenkins's problem, but instead put down two separation chips. "My problem now is that there is a guy in the department who is also Jenkins's man, and he is older and more powerful than me. She has a lot of loyal subordinates and is difficult to deal with. "But as a newcomer favored by Jenkins, I have fought with her a lot, and she has always regarded me as a thorn in her side. This incident is an opportunity in her eyes, and she plans to take the opportunity to get rid of me. And I found that she has begun to fabricate charges. "In this case, I have no choice but to fight her to the death. " "V. "Jack said seriously, "I told you that this job will hurt you." Li Youze picked up the chip on the table and asked, "If I'm not mistaken, this is the information of that woman? You want us to... deal with her?" V frowned and nodded, "I have no choice." "Oh my God, V." Jack looked at her, "Your way of thinking is exactly the same as your venomous boss!" "Then what can I do, Jack! ?" V also raised his voice, "I have been targeted. If I don't fight back, I will die without a burial place! " After listening, Jack was silent for a moment, but still picked up the chip, inserted it into the slot on his neck, and read it. Li You had already put the chip into his mobile phone to read it. He roughly understood the cause of the incident. This mess was still the butterfly effect caused by himself. It was because he and the Mann team sneaked into Jenkins's house to install the virus program that caused the subsequent trouble. In this case, in order to ensure that the butterfly wings will not fan the subsequent development of this world out of control, he must take action. So, no matter who V wants to deal with, Li You will not be soft-hearted. "This is not a personal grudge, but a public matter." While thinking this in his heart, he browsed the information given by V. When flipping through the previous contents, Li You had no reaction. But when he saw the photo of the target in the information, he was stunned at the time. "...How about it, do you take this job?" V looked at the two people, and there was a trace of fatigue in his words.
Jack pulled out the chip, still a little undecided: "This job..." "I'll take this job! " A decisive voice suddenly sounded, causing V and Jack to turn their heads and look: "...Ah?" Li You did not explain much, but just looked at the corporate woman with a pair of electronic eyes and a red cockscomb on the phone screen, with a sneer on his face. "...Night City is really small. "
