The son-in-law of Mr. Hachishaku

Chapter 220 The fly under the cobweb
Sapphire Green Building, penthouse suite.

Before I could clean the broken floor-to-ceiling windows, glass residue was scattered all over the floor.

On the pure black marble wall with gold threads, a conspicuous blood-red human-shaped stain made the atmosphere of the room a bit more eerie.

V curled up on the sofa, holding a glass of tequila in both hands.

She was trying to digest the fact that her boss had wings and could fly, and was most likely a mythical creature.

This is a big test for her mature worldview.

Fortunately, the window was broken, and the fresh morning air blew into the room with a gentle breeze, which could help her dry her mushy brain as quickly as possible.

Li Ang was sitting opposite V, taking a nap with his eyes closed.

I don't know how long it took, but there was a knock on the door, which disrupted the girl's thoughts and awakened the resting god.

"Sir, I am Han Sen."

"Enter."

Li Ang slowly opened his eyes, and his unique and oppressive eyes made V, who had been secretly observing him, feel his heart beat fast.

The King of Dog Town pushed open the door and came in with a respectful look and a low eyebrow: "Sir, what you want is ready. Please move to the banquet hall with your female companion."

He had just gone for a comprehensive physical examination, and the results were surprisingly good.

All functions are at least ten years younger. All the hidden wounds and sequelae from previous wars have been healed. There is also an inexplicable mysterious force in his body that is continuously strengthening his body.

Han Sen was very glad that he drank the glass of blood wine.

That was not the poison Li Ang used to control him, that was clearly a gift from God!

Thinking of this, Han Sen stroked his chest and saluted: "Thank you."

Li Ang waved his hand indifferently: "Okay, take us to the banquet hall."

He just created a blood slave, it was nothing.

Then the three of them walked out of the room, with Han Sen leading the way. V, who was following behind, curiously leaned into Li Ang's ear and asked questions.

First, they inquired about Han Sen's identity, and then asked why they wanted to arrest Miles.

Li Ang briefly explained the relationship between the two of them and Song Zhaomei.

"Holy shit, am I being fooled!" V said angrily: "First it was Evelin, and now it's Song Zhaomei. Why am I always fooled by women!"

Li Ang thought for a moment and gave the answer: "The more beautiful a woman is, the better she is at lying."

The most beautiful girl in Night City frowned angrily and punched him angrily.

The Sapphire Green Building itself was built as a luxury hotel. Although the investors eventually withdrew their capital, Han Sen invested a lot of money after occupying the place and improved it slightly.

Now, in addition to some suites, there is also a huge club on the 99th floor.

There are casinos, restaurants, bars and other entertainment facilities inside.

Han Sen brought Li Ang and V to a long table in the restaurant, clapped his hands, and uniformly dressed hotel waiters brought the delicacies that had been prepared to the table one after another.

They are all real ingredients, none of them are synthetic food.

Li Ang sat at the head of the dining table with ease. He had long been accustomed to this kind of treatment when eating at home.

V, however, was inexplicably nervous and sat on his right hand obediently, acting uncharacteristically well-behaved.

Seeing this, Li Ang said with relief: "Eat, what are you waiting for."

"Colonel, sit down too."

Han Sen sat down with a little fear. He thought he needed to avoid it.

Then, Li Ang released Hanako Arasaka and Miles from the Great Blessing.

"Ladies, come and have something together."

The two looked at each other, then looked at the Nether Dog soldiers guarding nearby, helplessly found a seat to sit down, and looked at the dazzling array of food on the table, but had no appetite.

Han Sen looked at the two 'big men' in surprise.

Fortunately for Miles, Li Ang had already guessed that it was her when he said he wanted to bring someone back.

But what happened to Hanako Arasaka?

Rumors about the kidnapping case of the Wild Soul Festival are now spreading. Han Sen, who is far away in Dog Town, has also heard about it, but he didn't expect that it was actually Li Ang who did it. Isn't he from Arasaka Company?
The two women sitting opposite Han Sen had different reactions.

Hanako Arasaka had no expression on his face, lowering his head and not knowing what he was thinking.

She grew up in Tokyo and rarely came to Night City, so she had no idea where she was, let alone who the people in front of her were.

The only Li Ang she knew well was the murderer who kidnapped her.

Miles next to him crossed his arms and stared coldly at everyone except Hanako Arasaka, without concealing the resentment in his eyes.

"I mistrusted you, V. It turns out that you and this evil dog are working together!"

V ignored her at all and concentrated on the Angus steak on his plate.

Ever since she knew the truth, she didn't kill this vicious old woman with a single shot, just because she had a good temper.

Han Sen didn't care. He could hear this level of insults [-] times a day.

In the end, only Li Ang spoke, and it wasn't to Miles.

"Miss Huazi, stay here for a few more days with peace of mind. When the time comes, I will naturally let you go back. Of course, the premise is that you must be obedient."

"Don't even think about using the locator to contact Arasaka Company. This only covers Dog Town's internal network, and your message cannot be sent out."

Hanako Arasaka remained silent, but kept the name Dog Town firmly in mind.

Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, Miles' mood became more and more stable, and even a little contempt appeared on his face.

If they dare to provoke Arasaka Corporation and Military Technology at the same time, what awaits this group of people will be endless revenge from the two companies.It is estimated that it won't be long before Dog Town, which has existed for seven years, will be completely razed to the ground.

Han Sen couldn't stand her smug expression and asked deliberately: "Sir, do you need me to call Song Zhaomei for you?"

Upon hearing the name, Miles's expression changed instantly, with surprise and fear.

Song Zhaomei is a very important part of her plan and there must be no problems.

Li Ang saw the tit-for-tat confrontation between the two and found it quite interesting: "No need, let her come to me later, but I do have something for you to do."

"Captain Caliente's Restaurant, right in Dogtown, has an old landline phone inside."

"Access code 0931, find someone from Solomon Reed."

Han Sen immediately put down his knife and said, "Yes, I'll make arrangements right away."

Miles suddenly broke into a cold sweat when he heard the conversation between the two.

Solomon Reed was the head of the New United States' intelligence agency in Night City during the Unification War seven years ago. He was an agent of the CIA and had been lurking in the city since the end of the war.

If anyone is most likely to risk his life to help her escape from Dog Town and return to Washington, it must be this agent who is loyal to the country.

Miles thought about what he had mentioned to V a few hours ago. Could it be that V leaked it to this snake-eyed man?

Or rather, there is a traitor around her.

But the problem is that even Song Zhaomei doesn't know that Li De is still alive.

When the president was in shock, Li Ang said again: "V, you can follow me. Li De is an old agent and he is very cunning. You must bring him to me."

V didn't expect that he had his own business here, so he hurriedly stopped what he was doing. "Okay, I understand, do you want to go now?"

Li Ang saw that her eyes were filled with interest, and he smiled and said, "We'll talk after you're full, don't be in a hurry."

V laughed twice and continued to eat happily.

Li Ang looked at her with relief like an old father for a while, then turned to Han Sen and said: "There is another person we will capture together, Daphne, the bartender of the Swan Bar."

"She is Li De's subordinate. Her real name is Alex - Alina Zenax."

After saying these two sentences, Miles's expression became paler and paler, and his body trembled slightly, whether it was excitement or fear.

Alex is also an agent of the CIA, but only her boss Li De knows about this person's whereabouts. Even she, the president, doesn't know.

There is definitely a mole, and it is definitely not someone like Li Ang, Song Zhaomei, etc., but who is it?
Military technology or Washington?
Miles investigates all the rivals eyeing her position as president, becoming increasingly suspicious and feeling like they all look like traitors.

What Li Ang wanted was this effect. How could he dig out the things in her mind without scaring her out of her wits.

In the following time, no one at the table spoke again.

Miles was suffering and restless; Hanako Arasaka lowered his head and meditated like a puppet; V even ate and drank and was extremely happy; Han Sen had a lot of thoughts and looked around.

Li Ang drank champagne leisurely and took in all their reactions.

Soon after, V leaned back in his chair and patted his belly happily: "I'm full, it's time to exercise."

Han Sen heard this and called his adjutant: "Murphy, take this lady with you."

"Yes, Colonel." The black officer took the order, and then left the restaurant with V.

V has a presidential commemorative coin given by Miles as a token in his hand, and he is not afraid that Li De will not be fooled.

Looking away from V's slim back, Li Ang asked the two big shots with a smile: "Ladies, are you full?"

Hanako Arasaka seemed to realize something, and immediately picked up the knife and fork and started eating.

"What about you, Madam President?"

Miles remained silent, still wondering who the mole was.

Then he was taken back into the Great Blessing.

The people around her suddenly disappeared, causing Hanako Arasaka's body to tremble involuntarily.

But she still kept stuffing things into her mouth, as if this was the last meal in her life.

She was different from Miles. Li Ang felt that he was already polite enough to her, so how could he still be so afraid.

"When Miss Hanako finishes eating, arrange a room for her. In addition to not being allowed to leave Sapphire Green, try to meet her requirements."

"By the way, find a few hackers to watch her."

There is no way, who asked her brother to spend the money, so the treatment will naturally be different.

Arasaka Hanako breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, and his eating speed also slowed down a lot.

Then Li Ang stood up from the dining table: "Find me a place where we can talk, and bring Song Zhaomei here by the way."

Han Sen immediately asked his men to make arrangements, while he stayed and watched Hanako Arasaka.

When there were only two of them left at the table, Hanako Arasaka raised his head, with pleading in his eyes.

But before he could speak, Han Sen said first, "Even if Saburo Arasaka is resurrected, he won't be able to help you."

Arasaka Hanako's eyes dimmed instantly, she pursed her lips and continued to eat silently with her head down.

At the same time, in a certain reception room of Baoshi Qing.

Song Zhaomei, who was in a nervous mood, was brought in by two Nether Dog soldiers.

Bright and eye-catching purple, wearing a cooling suit unique to cyber hackers, with a black and white gradient jacket on top, and an Asian face.

If you look at her from the front, Song Zhaomei still looks like a normal person, but if you look at her from the back, you will find that most of the tissues and organs in her body have been hollowed out and replaced with countless mechanical components and prosthetics, with the degree of transformation being at least 80%. .

Her situation is different from that of Adam Hammer, who still has his brain but his body has been transformed.

As a cyber hacker who has crossed the Black Wall many times, she had a problem with her brain first. The 80% transformation level was already the limit, and there was only a dead end if she continued.

That's why he was anxious to escape from Miles and prepare to find a safe place to receive treatment.

"What do you want from me?" Song Zhaomei looked at the man on the sofa nervously.

She knew about Li Ang's existence. Although this mysterious man left no trace on the Internet, she could still find some useful things.

For example, he is Arasaka Yorinobu's confidant and V's friend, and he is very powerful personally.

But Song Zhaomei never expected that she could be so powerful.

Only one night had passed since she contacted V, and Li Ang had rushed to Dog Town and easily made Han Sen surrender at his feet.

When Han Sen approached Song Zhaomei a few hours ago and said someone wanted to see her, she was completely confused.

That was Kurt Hanson, the king of the dog town who was tough on the new US government, played both sides of major companies, and managed his own territory.

What did he call that man?
Owner!

Song Zhaomei couldn't believe it at first, until she saw the deep reverence in Han Sen's eyes when he mentioned Li Ang, as if he was a fanatical believer who had converted to a certain religion, and he couldn't fake it at all.

So she was afraid, from the bottom of her heart, afraid of losing herself like Han Sen.

"Are you scared, Miss Song?" Li Ang looked at the genius hacker who was reluctant to step forward: "Don't be so serious, smile."

Under his unpredictable gaze, Song Zhaomei felt as if she had been stripped naked.

No matter how deeply hidden your thoughts are, he can see through them at a glance.

"I"

Li Ang extended his hand and invited: "Don't be nervous, sit down and chat."

Song Zhaomei sat down across from him fearfully, her hands twisted together pale, as if she was undergoing a trial.

Li Ang was very casual. He poured a glass of wine and slowly pushed it in front of her.

"Maybe something to drink will make you feel better."

Song Zhaomei's throat moved, and she carefully picked up the wine glass and put it to her mouth.

Just as he was about to drink, Li Ang asked: "Should I call you Song Zhaomei, or Lark?"

Song Zhaomei immediately put down her wine glass, her eyes evasive: "Anything is fine."

The reason why Li Ang asked this was because she was infected with something outside the black wall.

A wandering AI named Lark.

It secretly integrated into Song Zhaomei's consciousness, and was eroding her memory bit by bit, and finally took complete control of this body.

Song Zhaomei actually noticed it, but didn't dare to tell anyone.

She is now terminally ill, and her consciousness is almost integrated with AI.

When a snowflake fell, she could immediately analyze the fractal structure of the snowflake, but she couldn't even remember her mother's voice.

"I can save you, Song Zhaomei." Li Ang looked at her calmly: "Not only that, I can even let you live until the end of time and the world is destroyed."

"But the price is that your personality and body will belong to me."
