Chapter 822! Wakako
Chapter 822! Wakako
……
What kind of messed up request is this?
Drink a little more, what's wrong?
Long Xiaoyun is interrogating Leng Feng?
You want to get me drunk and then trick me into telling you something?
But who wants to see me?
Arasaka? Or just a high-ranking member of the Tiger Claw Gang?
He raised his eyebrows, but Shen Ye didn't say anything. He just pressed the rim of the cup with one hand and thought in his mind.
Seeing that Shen Ye didn't say anything, Ichiro Harada tactfully remained silent. But Rita on the side was still excited. Even though the person who said that was from the Tiger Claw Gang, she liked him much more.
You have to know that the feud between the Ritz Bar and the Tiger Claw Gang can be traced back to several years ago, and they are mortal enemies.
However, there are no absolute enemies or friends in Night City, everything is based on interests.
"Okay, let's drink some more." Shen Ye said after thinking for a while, but he felt like he was about to become an alcoholic after staying here.
Hearing this, Harada Ichiro nodded heavily: "Thank you very much for your understanding."
Then he raised his glass to toast Shen Ye, and at the same time called his younger brothers to come over and toast together...
More than an hour passed like this.
Shen Ye held a slender sake bottle with two fingers, glanced at Harada Ichiro who was staggering around drinking, and then said with a smile: "Still drinking?"
Ichiro Harada's eyes were almost straight from drinking, but he was still able to stay awake. He shook his head: "No... I don't want to drink anymore."
In fact, his tongue also became bigger due to drinking.
Fortunately, Ichiro Harada still remembered the purpose of his visit. Although he failed to get Shen Ye drunk, the mission would not be completed if he drank any more. As a small figure in the gang, he had the opportunity to come into contact with the gang's top leaders and met a big shot he dared not even think about. He did not want to mess things up, otherwise he would definitely end up being thrown into the sea to feed the sharks.
"In that case, let's set off."
Shen Ye stood up and said to Ichiro Harada, then looked at Rita.
"You go back first, Rita. I can go alone."
Of course Rita would not agree, she shook her head and said: "I will go with you... I will protect you."
As she spoke, she patted the holster under her armpit. As a fighter of the Mox Gang, she still had some strength.
Speaking of which, Rita has never seen Shen Ye's true strength. Although she has heard that someone killed dozens of gang members with his bare hands, she never thought it was Shen Ye. In her opinion, Shen Ye, who does not have any prosthetics on his body, has no ability to protect himself.
What's more...
She still had some ideas today. If she still couldn't get what she wanted this time, she might as well dye her hair blonde.
Golden Retriever Lost Dog...
However, just when Shen Ye was hesitating whether to take her with him, Harada Ichiro said, "I'm sorry, she only let Mr. Shen go alone."
"No." Rita stood up immediately and objected loudly.
But Shen Ye held her shoulders and said, "Don't worry, I'll be fine if I go alone."
"But……"
Rita wanted to say something else, but then she heard Shen Ye say, "I'll come to your house to see you in the evening."
Then, without waiting for Rita to speak again, Shen Ye continued in a tone that brooked no objection: "It's decided."
"Well... okay." Rita nodded helplessly. After thinking for a while, she pulled out a pistol and handed it to Shen Ye: "Be careful. I'll wait for you to come back home."
"Okay!" Shen Ye took the pistol and took a look. It was a modified kinetic pistol. Then he put it away and said to Harada Ichiro: "Let's go."
"Hi!"
……
After Rita took a taxi and left, Shen Ye got on the car arranged by Ichiro Harada and then went all the way to Niuniu Street.
When he learned that he had arrived at Niuniu Street, Shen Ye immediately frowned. He probably knew who he was going to meet.
but……
"Why does Wakako want to see me? Or is it someone else?"
Thinking this in his mind, Shen Ye got out of the car and followed Ichiro Harada into a house.
Soon after, he stopped in front of a room with a red lip print on the door.
"Please wait a moment, Mr. Shen."
Harada Ichiro first bowed his head to Shen Ye, then walked to the door and knocked gently: "Madam, he is here."
"Let him in, you can go."
"Hi!"
Although he didn't see anyone inside, Harada Ichiro still bowed respectfully, then stood up and said to Shen Ye: "Mr. Shen, I'm leaving first, please go in by yourself."
"Yeah!" Shen Ye nodded, then opened the door and walked in.
Just like in the game, the decoration of this room is very retro and full of Japanese style, but Shen Ye just took a quick look and looked at the old lady sitting behind an office desk.
Wakako Okada, a "beautiful girl" born in the 2000s who was born later than him.
At this moment, this "beautiful girl" born in the 2000s was smoking a cigarette while flipping through the books on the table, which is very rare in today's society.
"Please take a seat, Mr. Shen."
Just as Shen Ye was looking at Wakako, the old lady looked up at him, closed the book, pointed to a chair beside her, and said to him.
Shen Ye was not polite at all. He went over, pulled the chair in front of Wakako's desk, and sat down.
Then he glanced into a hidden corner of the room, snorted and asked, "What do you want from me, Mrs. Westbrook?"
Although Wakako is already an old lady in her seventies, she has great prestige in Night City, especially in Japan Street, where she is known as Mrs. Westbrook. She is also the middleman who is more powerful than Fatty De in Jack's words.
Hearing Shen Ye's question, He Gezi did not answer. Instead, after carefully looking at Shen Ye, she said with a slightly regretful tone: "It seems that the idiot did not complete my task. He is really not worthy of being reused."
"It's not that he's useless, it's just that getting me drunk is impossible." Shen Ye shook his head: "But why do you have to get me drunk? I remember someone said that you are the most powerful middleman in Night City. You wouldn't want to do business with a drunk, right?"
"Only drunk people don't lie, because they will answer subconsciously and won't think for a long time." As she spoke, Wakako took out a pack of cigarettes from the drawer, took out one, and looked at Shen Ye: "Would you like one?"
"Okay." Shen Ye naturally picked up the cigarette box that Wakako had placed on the table, took out a cigarette and lit it, then said, "Smoke less. You're so old, it's not good for your lungs."
"At my age, I basically don't have any desires. If I can't even smoke, I'd better go downstairs and keep Hayato company." Wakako smiled and said, "Besides, what Night City lacks the least is clean lungs. If there's a problem, just get a new one."
Hearing this, Shen Ye was slightly startled, then nodded: "That makes sense."
The seemingly kind old lady is actually a cruel and ruthless person.
