The taxi stopped in front of the No. 7 mansion in North Oak District. Lin Mo opened the door. The evening sunlight fell on his face, causing him to squint his eyes slightly.
"Choose Delaman and leave your worries at the door. Mr. Lin Mo, welcome to use Delaman service and wish you a safe journey." The AI in the car politely said the parting words, and then the door automatically closed. The black and gold car
The taxi drove slowly towards the road.
Walking into the familiar mansion, he strolled across the lawn to the door of his villa. Although he had the key with him, Lin Mo knocked on the door habitually.
Dong Dong.
After a while, the door of the house was opened, and Sasha appeared behind the door wearing home clothes, with a white apron hanging on her shoulders.
Looking at Lin Mo who appeared outside the door, Sasha's eyes flashed with joy, and then she asked gently: "You are back, it will take a while for dinner to be cooked, do you want to take a bath first?
"
Every time I go home, this alert girl seems to be the first to react.
Lin Mo shook his head, walked into the house alone, took off his jacket and threw it casually on the hanger, put on his slippers and walked into the house.
"Where's my sister? She hasn't come back yet?"
"She's back. Just now she wanted to cook dinner with me in the kitchen...but I declined. Now she's sitting in the living room watching TV with Lucy." Sasha said softly.
"That's good. If you let my sister into the kitchen, I'm afraid we'll have a unique coke flavor at tonight's dinner." Lin Mo nodded, and then asked:
"Where's Rebecca?"
"Cleaning upstairs."
"Oh." Lin Mo was not surprised by this, and then waved to Sasha and said:
"You go ahead and do your work first. I'll go to the living room and take a look."
"Yeah." Sasha nodded and ran to the kitchen in small steps.
Looking at her slim and graceful back that couldn't even be covered by her loose home clothes, Lin Mo pinched her temples with a headache, feeling rather uncomfortable.
Yes, if there is one thing that has surprised him the most since he returned to Night City, it is undoubtedly that her elder sister Xu Wanxue, for some unknown reason, actually brought Lucy and Sasha into the world.
The three of them and Rebecca were invited to the house.
It is also said that it is somewhat uncomfortable to stay at home alone. Just having a few more people to share the housework can make it more lively.
After all, the only brother in the family runs away for unknown reasons every day, and sometimes doesn't come home for several days. She is bored staying at home alone, so she might as well take advantage of this opportunity to become the "family" of the future reserve force.
The two of them called home in advance to chat or something.
In the past, when she was still working for Qiandai, she didn't have this kind of worry about "living alone". After all, she had to go out to work every day, and Lin Mo was the only one who stayed at home every day.
It's better now. Since she became the chief technology officer of the Kangtao Night City branch, she has officially become one of the top people in the city. Her daily workload is very little, except staying at home and enjoying life.
, there seemed to be nothing else to do.
She's not Lin Mo, so she can't go out and be a "marginal person" with a knife on her shoulder, right?
But because of this, from one day onwards, the house really became lively because of the large number of people. When Lin Mo woke up from bed every day, he would either see his elder sister sunbathing outside the balcony, or he would see Lucy, Sasha
The three of them hanging around in front of Rebecca gave him a headache.
But he didn't make any statement on this, because from a rational point of view, it was the best choice for him to be inactive.
When I came to the living room, tonight's news program was playing on the TV.
A neatly dressed man sat on the stage with an upright face and recited without a smile:
"Welcome to WNS News Radio, I'm Arif Iqbal."
"Night City is still in an atmosphere of mourning since the death of Saburo Arasaka, CEO of Arasaka Corporation."
"In order to mourn the passing of this great man, all flags in the city will be flown at half-mast, and all large-scale public events will be postponed until further notice."
"Miss Arasaka Hanako, daughter and successor of Saburo Arasaka, arrived in Night City today and is preparing to attend the memorial service of Saburo Arasaka."
"Afterwards, the body of Mr. Saburo Arasaka will be transported to his hometown of Japan for a burial ceremony at a selected date."
...
Xu Wanxue, who was sitting on the sofa watching TV programs, sighed, threw the remote control aside, picked up the snack potato chips next to her and started eating:
"Oh, I'm so annoyed. First, Saburo Arasaka died, and then there was Hanako Arasaka and the memorial service. Why are so many shit happening in Night City?"
"This city has always been like this. It's just that Sister Wanxue, you never pay attention to these things. After all, these small things generally have little to do with us ordinary people." Lucy on the side took the remote control and was about to switch the TV program to
Other radio stations.
But before she pressed the button on the remote control, a hand suddenly appeared at her side and took the remote control from her hand.
Only then did the two of them notice Lin Mo, who was like a ghost coming back from nowhere.
"Hey, when did you come back? Did Sasha open the door for you?" Xu Wanxue asked in surprise.
Looking at the elder sister who was becoming more and more like "Liu Ruoying" and gradually turning into a salted fish, Lin Mo shook his head, snatched the snacks and potato chips, sat on the sofa next to him and said:
"I don't even know what to say about you two. Forget about my old sister, and you, Lucy, were quite good at it before, but now you don't even hear the knock on the door."
Lucy sat on the sofa with her hands and knees, looking at Lin Mo who was questioning him. She didn't say anything, she just pointed to her ears, where she happened to be wearing a pair of small headphones.
"She was listening to music with noise-canceling headphones, so she could only hear the sounds next to her." Xu Wanxue couldn't help but defend her.
She looked at Lin Mo who was "provoking an army to prosecute" and sneered a few times and said:
"You came back just in time. I just wanted to ask you what happened on the news program just now. There has been a lot of commotion in the city these days. Tell me, does the death of Saburo Arasaka have something to do with you?"
"Why do you ask this?" Lin Mo didn't care.
"The Shenyang headquarters is already asking about the situation in Night City. After Saburo Arasaka died and his son Yorinobu took over, this is related to the power change of Arasaka Company. Even our CEO Xu Wanmeng is also passing the company
Ask me privately on the information channel about the situation here." Xu Wanxue said seriously:
"However, she probably wants to ask for your opinion. I am at most a messenger."
Lin Mo lowered his head and pondered for a long time. Finally, he seemed to have figured out something and said honestly:
"This matter does have something to do with me. She doesn't have anything to worry about... In addition, you should also tell Xu Wanmeng that Ye's Company may have a negotiation with Kang Tao in the future. You can agree to their request, no matter what.
No matter how excessive the request is, it won't do you much harm."
"What negotiation?" Xu Wanxue frowned.
Regarding the murder of Saburo Arasaka, she had indeed guessed that it must be related to the restless "Oudou" in the family.
But now it's involved in another negotiation...
"A negotiation related to the future of Night City, you will know about it later." Lin Mo did not explain anything more.
"Okay." Xu Wanxue simply didn't go into details and said instead:
"Then do you want to attend the memorial service tomorrow night?"
"Memorial service?" Lin Mo was stunned, but soon realized that the elder sister was talking about [Memorial Service for Saburo Arasaka]
"Has your company also received an invitation?" he asked.
"Is this weird? Not to mention us, Military Technology also sent representatives there. After all, it's a memorial service for the founder of Arasaka Company. No matter what conflicts we usually have, we still have to show some face at this time." Xu Wanxue was helpless.
road:
"If you are interested, I have a few places here... It's okay if you really don't want to go."
Lin Mo's expression was slightly strange, but he finally shook his head and said:
"Forget it, I have my own arrangements."
He did have his own arrangements. With his relationship with Lai Xuan, it would not be difficult to attend the memorial service even if there was no quota for Xu Wanxue.
