As the number one player in the military technology camp, how could Dorsett give Arasaka International face? It was precisely because he thought of this that Chandler realized that he had said something stupid.
Hearing that the policeman in front of him actually wanted to use Arasaka's sign to scare people, the captain of the Dorset Police Force couldn't help but sneer.
Just when he was about to say something heartbreaking, an impatient goddess came out from the store.
"Captain Piper, who are you talking nonsense to?
You have time to reason with people, but why don’t you have time to put your security measures in order?
Look, a good new store opening ceremony has turned into this, and you have to be responsible for it!"
Before the captain named Piper could answer the barrage of scoldings, a young woman wearing a beige high-end suit walked out of the store angrily.
As soon as she came out, no less than 20 people appeared behind her.
Among the entourage, the one with the most painful expression was the manager of this restaurant chain.
Ruth Kui Steakhouse Chain is a mid-range chain restaurant brand under the name of Dorsett Group, and this is the new store that officially opened today.
For this manager, being able to be the person in charge of a new restaurant is truly enviable.
He has worked for Dorset for 15 years and finally got his current position today.
This was supposed to be the highlight moment in Mr. Manager’s life, but disaster suddenly struck at this moment.
When the flying car crashed down like a stone, everyone at the scene was frightened, and he was the most collapsed.
If this had happened earlier, if the car had hit the ground a little further, it would have definitely fallen into the guests attending the opening ceremony.
If that is the case, it will be a shocking tragedy.
"Ah! It's broken! Miss Dorset is still in there!
Miss Dorset, Miss Dorset, go and see if Miss is okay! What are you fools doing standing around?"
Just when the manager was still stunned, he heard someone shout like this.
This moment frightened him so much that he realized that he had made a big mistake.
Although the damn car did not fall into the crowd, he would rather it hit him, because then Miss Dorset would be safe.
After the ribbon-cutting ceremony, today’s guest of honor, Ms. Sandra Dorsett, the secretary to the board of directors of Dorsett Group, was still patrolling the restaurant.
When the manager ran into the restaurant in a panic, he quickly found the location where the flying car hit.
When he arrived here, the first thing he saw was the huge hole above his head, and then the wreckage of the flying car that had landed on the ground and was still hanging on the wall.
As for the room that was crushed by the car, the floor was naturally in a mess, and the scene was miserable.
Just when he was about to get closer, several men in black suits stopped him.
"Miss Dorset is fine. Our people are with her. You don't have to go in and get in the way."
Although the vigilantes who followed Miss Dorsett said so, the restaurant manager still couldn't rest assured.
But no matter how anxious he is, the only thing he can do now is pray.
He didn't know if his prayer had an effect, but soon he saw an angry Miss Dorsett rushing out of the room, followed closely by the lady's entourage.
These people didn't talk nonsense to anyone, they just quickly surrounded Sandra Dorsett and formed a tight defense circle for her.
Because there was a policeman blocking the way, the distinguished lady had to stop.
This obviously made her unhappy, so she made fun of her employees.
Listening to the clearly angry voice, Captain Piper could only smile bitterly.
In any case, things falling from the sky can only be regarded as uncontrollable factors, and this really should not be blamed on him.
But who asked him to do a job where he was scolded, so he had to take the blame even if he didn't want to.
Captain Pipe knew very well that he had left a serious negative impression on Miss Dorset, and he would be in serious trouble if he did not find a way to reverse it.
"I'm sorry, miss, I'll take care of it right away. Now please let me take you back first!"
After respectfully replying to Miss Dorset, Piper waved to his subordinates.
The impatient vigilantes immediately stepped forward. They rushed away from Chandler and his men, allowing the distinguished lady to pass in front of Officer Chandler.
As soon as she arrived at the foot of the stairs, Miss Dorset's car stopped steadily beside her.
Captain Piper, with his sharp eyesight and quick hands, quickly stepped forward and opened the door for Miss Dorsett.
"Officer, I have to leave now. How about you come over and check my car, so as not to say we don't cooperate with your work?"
While saying this, the noble daughter of the Dorset family deliberately opened the car door so that Chandler and the others could see the empty car, which made someone feel even more embarrassed.
In fact, Sandra didn't need to open the door so wide that the police officer could see what was going on in the car.
No matter how luxurious this lady's car is, it's only such a big place. How can it hide a large number of people?
When this car appeared just now, these policemen secretly scanned it.
Although Chandler's scanning software still failed to read the driver's information, he was certain that there was indeed only one driver in the car.
Based on Officer Chandler's experience, he knew that the girl opposite the singer was definitely not trying to win the Police-Citizen Cooperation Award, but was deliberately looking for trouble, so of course he would not be ungrateful.
At this time, sticking to principles is the stupidest behavior.
Although he was a civil servant, he was still just a slightly larger ant. So he just backed away again with laughter to avoid dirtying other people's eyes.
The daughter of the chairman of Dorset Group just came and left in disgrace. Surrounded by several cars, she returned to the headquarters of Dorset Company in the center of the city.
For the rest of the day Miss Dorset went on doing whatever she had to do, and seemed to have forgotten the incident.
After encountering several accidents in succession, the only daughter of Bertelsmann Dorset, chairman of the Dorset Group, suddenly repented.
She changed her previous decadent and rebellious appearance and got her life back on track.
Now she has also changed into formal clothes and goes to and from get off work with her father.
When Bertelsmann held important meetings, she would listen silently.
If her father asked her for advice, Sandra would explain her personal opinion in front of everyone.
Although Sandra still behaves very immaturely, the upper management of the Dorset Group must admit that this girl has inherited the best genes of the Dorset family.
In just a short period of time, she learned a lot. Many people think that she will become a very good manager.
While Sandra Dorsett was busy in the office, the chain steakhouse that was hit by a speeding car with a big hole was already surrounded by people.
As soon as Sandra Dorsett left here, the special agents from Arasaka International arrived in a hurry, followed by the police and the city self-defense force.
After Sandra Dorsett left, there were only a few small fish and shrimps left here that were not worth mentioning.
So when Arasaka's agents broke in to conduct a search, the manager of Dorsett Restaurant could only hold his head and squat in the corner counting ants.
"These damn Arasaka dogs! Why are they so arrogant?"
Chandler was naturally aggrieved as he watched his credit being taken away from him, being the first to get here, but in the end it was all in vain.
Although Chandler was very angry, he could only hold the fire in his heart.
Because let alone him, even if it was the police chief of Night City, those Arasaka dogs would still not give him any face.
This kind of refusal to give face is not just talk, but a slap in the face. Now let alone entering the scene, the people in Arasaka even refused to allow the police to approach the restaurant.
Just as armed men wearing gold diamond emblems were entering and exiting the restaurant, an inconspicuous car parked opposite the steakhouse.
There was a man and a woman sitting in this car. The man sitting in the passenger seat kept talking, but the woman sitting in the driver's seat almost didn't respond.
"My informant said Arasaka did not find the two men. They have searched the restaurant many times but found nothing."
Because she had to share information with the man next to her, Meredith had no choice but to report the news she received to Hippocrates, no matter how unwilling she was.
Ever since the internal investigation specialist found Meredith, he has been lingering around like a ghost, but Meredith still has to cooperate with this man's work.
Military Technology's Internal Investigation Team specialists have very special authority. They can investigate any level of company employees without any need for a reason.
Hippocrates came to Meredith because of the failed actual weapons test incident. He had been investigating this matter for some time, but there had been no progress.
Hippocrates discovered almost nothing, of course because Meredith was prepared.
In order to protect herself, she had already used her authority to destroy all traces of herself as much as possible.
Although there were no clues, this did not prevent Hippocrates from pursuing him.
This guy who likes to be called doctor has a nose as sensitive as a dog. He just relies on his intuition to gradually string together many seemingly unrelated things.
Whenever Hippocrates came up with a hypothesis, he would always share it with Meredith immediately.
At first, Meredith thought he was biting randomly because he was eager to achieve merit.
But when she discovered that this madman was actually getting closer to the truth of the matter, she felt a fear she had never felt before for the first time.
"Ms. Meredith, you see, the things I mentioned may seem scattered, but in fact they are all connected.
As long as we assume that there is a person in this world and that he was involved in all those things just now, then all the doubts will have reasonable explanations.
Ms. Meredith, this person is really not simple.
He obviously exists, but he can be missed from our investigation network again and again.
He is like a real invisible man, playing tricks on us all the time. Even if we are military technology, he can still play tricks on us."
"This is impossible. No one has such ability. Even the one from Arasaka cannot sit down without leaving any traces."
"Ms. Meredith, you underestimate this person.
Not only is he invisible to us, Arasaka should also not be aware of his existence.
After thinking about it, I think there is only one possibility for this matter.
That is, this person has a terrible background, so he should have helpers both on our side and in Arasaka.
It is these enemies who have broken into us, working together to protect this mysterious man.
They promptly erased all traces of his existence, and they are absolutely professionals.
This finishing work is so clean and beautiful. Ms. Meredith, do you think you can do this?"
"What do you mean? Are you doubting me?"
When Hippocrates suddenly said such words, the tigress of military technology was furious on the surface, but there was cold sweat all over her back.
"Relax! Ms. Meredith, I don't think it's you.
Do you know why I’m so sure? Because at your level, you don’t have such great energy.”
After Hippocrates used this method to calm down the atmosphere, Meredith couldn't find any reason to continue to be angry.
If possible, Meredith would kill Hippocrates with one shot. But now she doesn't dare to turn her back, so she can only continue to follow this neurotic investigator.
According to Hippocratic reasoning, he believed that the invisible man they were looking for was related to the murder of Saburo Arasaka, so they paid special attention to the movements of Arasaka Tower.
A shocking incident occurred in Arasaka Tower today. Whether it was the helicopters or the subsequent missiles, all the forces were nervous.
In order to figure out the situation, there are now countless spies watching Arasaka's every move.
Among all the forces, the most tense one is of course military technology.
At this time, they cannot stimulate Arasaka's nerves too much, so the special staff of Military Technology mainly focus on spying on information and will not take any substantive action.
As part of these spies, Hippocrates and Meredith also came here.
According to the nervous operator, he smelled the scent of the mysterious man here, so he came here for inspiration.
"Okay, Ms. Meredith, we can get out of here now.
I just received news that the two fugitives who were suspected of hijacking a speeding car were spotted in the next block.
Now let us follow the past and see if those Arasaka colleagues can gain something.
It’s not that I look down on them, I think there’s a high chance that Arasaka International won’t be able to catch anyone this time.”
While analyzing this, Hippocrates lazily waved his hand and asked Meredith to drive away.
"You pretentious guy! As long as I have the chance, I will definitely kill you!"
Holding back her displeasure, Meredith obeyed this guy's order.
While doing this, she tried not to look at Hippocrates for fear that she would be tempted to take action now.
After getting along for a while, Meredith has seen it all.
If evaluated in terms of combat power, Hippocrates is a scumbag. As long as she is given 10 seconds, she can kill him.
But Meredith didn't dare to make any mistakes now, which also made her feel dazed.
When did she become so hesitant? In the past, she just did whatever she wanted without thinking so much.
Just when the tigress of military technology is forced to put away its claws and wait for the opportunity to counterattack, Night City is turning into a pot of boiling porridge.
People from Arasaka, people from military technology, people from Kangtao, police, city self-defense forces, mercenaries, street gangsters, almost a million people are now looking for the two wanted criminals in the city.
At almost 10:00, a wanted warrant with a clear photo was issued.
At that time, Takemura and Peacock's bounty was 100,000 euros each. Two hours later, the price rose to 500,000 euros.
By 6 p.m., Arasaka International raised the bounty again, and now each of them is worth 1 million.
This price is regardless of life or death. As long as someone can prove that they caught or killed Takemura and Peacock, Arasaka will pay immediately.
It was the bounty amount that increased three times a day that made nearly 1/10 of the people in Night City red-eyed.
Although this kind of commotion is getting more and more intense, it will not affect Sandra who is sitting in a high-end office building.
The noble daughter of the Dorset family handled today's official duties as usual, then got off work on time and returned to Dorset Manor in the center of the city.
As soon as he returned home, Sandra went to find his father. His father had something to do today and left the company early.
When Sandra came to the study, Bertelsmann Dorsett was having a secret conversation with Ralph Dorsett in the study.
Since Sandra's awakening, she no longer goes against her father in everything, but has completely changed as a person.
Bertelsmann is very happy about the changes in his daughter.
He knew that his daughter was a good seedling. She would never be a flower vase, but would become his successor and the core leadership of the next generation.
In order to cultivate Sandra, Bertelsmann arranged for his daughter to be the assistant to the chairman.
This position allows Sandra to have access to many senior executives of the company, and she is also involved in many secrets, so he will not avoid his daughter in many matters.
Today he and Ralph were talking about something very important, something that was not on the table, but he still hoped that Sandra would listen.
Because of Sandra's arrival, Ralph stopped his report.
After greeting his cousin, he continued.
In the past period of time, Bertelsmann's attitude towards Ralph has changed again and again, and Ralph's situation has also become ups and downs.
About a month ago, Sandra, the first heir to the Dorset Group, suffered two consecutive targeted attacks.
The first time she was kidnapped and sold to scavengers. Those who cut her kidneys almost vivisected her and turned her into a pile of odds and ends with clearly marked prices.
Shortly after this incident, Sandra was assassinated again in her psychiatrist's clinic. Although she was fine in the end, all her bodyguards died in the line of duty that day.
Two consecutive assassinations made Bertelsmann furious. In order to find out who was behind the scenes, he used all the power of the family.
